Aplify — Community Guidelines

Welcome

We’re delighted to welcome you to Aplify — a platform built on trust, respect, and genuine connections. Our mission is to make digital interactions as authentic and courteous as real-life exchanges.

About Aplify

Aplify is an all-in-one Indian e-classified platform enabling users to buy, sell, rent, hire, bid, or share via features such as Buy & Sell, Rentals, Jobs, Real Estate, Carpool, e-Auctions, and Self-Drive Vehicles.

Aplify hosts two communities: Armed Forces (serving personnel, veterans, and families) and Others (general public). Both communities have equal access; filters are provided for discovery convenience.

Our Commitment

We aim to provide a safe, respectful, and transparent platform that encourages genuine user-to-user engagement. To keep Aplify safe for everyone, please follow these Community Guidelines along with the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Respect & Behaviour

Treat every user with respect, honesty, and courtesy.
Harassment, discrimination, hate speech, or abusive language are not tolerated.
Keep conversations relevant to transactions; avoid sharing offensive or personal content.
Remember: Give Respect and Take Respect.

Authentic Community Use

Use community filters responsibly. Both communities can interact freely; filters exist only for discovery convenience.
Do not impersonate Armed Forces personnel or misuse community badges.
Misrepresentation or false verification may lead to account suspension.

Honor & Sensitivity Toward the Armed Forces

Respect the dignity of India’s Armed Forces at all times. Never post or share content that disrespects, exploits, or misuses Armed Forces imagery, names, or symbols.

Important:

Aplify strictly forbids uploading or distributing any service-related, sensitive, or confidential information.
For verification, Armed Forces users may provide a simple proof of association (certificate, ECHS Card, Dependent ID Card, or Pension Book).
Always mask sensitive details before uploading documents.

Posting & Transactions

Post only accurate, lawful, and authentic listings.
Include real images and clear descriptions.
Inspect items physically before making payments.
Never post or trade in illegal, counterfeit, or restricted goods (weapons, narcotics, adult material).
Job listings must be genuine and non-exploitative.
Gambling, betting, or similar promotions are prohibited.

Legal Compliance & Responsibility

Follow all applicable Indian laws and Aplify policies. Verify the legitimacy of listings and users before any transaction. Aplify acts only as a facilitator and bears no responsibility for payment disputes, product quality, or user behavior.

KYC Verification

Completing KYC verification helps make Aplify safer and more trustworthy. Verification is optional and open to both communities.
