2. Reviews

Reviews help prospective customers make informed purchase decisions. To keep them fair and transparent, all reviews must follow these guidelines:

• Honest and accurate — Reviews must reflect genuine opinions, findings, and experiences. False, misleading, or unsubstantiated information isn’t allowed.
• Full disclosure — If you have any connection to the creator that could influence your review, such as employment, free products, or an affiliate relationship, you must clearly disclose it.
• Incentivized reviews — Creators who offer incentives for reviews must inform users of these guidelines, monitor the content, and report non-compliant reviews to support@whop.com. You may not offer an incentive for a fake review.

Whop doesn’t approve reviews that contain:

• Spam or repetitive content — Excessive symbols, distracting text, or irrelevant images.
• Private information — Your own or others’ personal details, such as phone numbers, email addresses, mailing addresses, or license plates.
• External links — Links aren’t allowed, including those with referrer tags or affiliate codes, to prevent phishing and malware risks.
• Prohibited content — Anything that violates these Community Guidelines.

If you come across a review that violates these guidelines, report it with the report button next to the review.

​

3. Earnings claims

When your content contains express or implied statements about the ability to earn income (“earnings claims”), you must:

• Ensure earnings claims aren’t false, deceptive, or misleading in any respect, including by implying that atypical results are typical.
• Have a reasonable basis to substantiate any earnings claim you make.
• Account for material expenses incurred in generating income when an earnings claim reflects gross income.
• Ensure earnings claims in testimonials are accurate and either representative of generally expected results or accompanied by a clear and conspicuous disclosure of relevant context, such as time and effort expended, and typical and ordinary earnings.
• Comply with all applicable legal requirements, including Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines.

​

4. Enforcement

Violating these Community Guidelines may result in content removal, account suspension, a permanent ban, legal action, or a report to law enforcement.
