Acceptable Use Policy
Welcome to the American Home Help community. When you sign up for an American Home Help account, your actions can have a big impact on our community as a whole. Everyone is held to the same standard on American Home Help. We’re asking you to be considerate, think before you act and abide by our community guidelines both on and offline. To protect the integrity and security of our systems, we require all American Home Help users to follow this Acceptable Use Policy.
Below is a list of community policies. If you violate any of these rules we might suspend or terminate your account. We may also suspend or terminate accounts according to our Terms of Service where we see behavior, content, or other factors that pose a threat to our services. If not defined here, capitalized terms have the meaning stated in our Terms of Service.
We encourage you to report any behavior that violates our policies.
