Making HOME community and social media guidelines

To help us maintain the kind of atmosphere where everyone feels welcome to contribute, we’ve developed some community guidelines to ensure all of our community members are allowed a safe, fun and supportive experience.

WOM Insights Pty Ltd (“WOM Insights” or “we”), the publisher of Making Home™, encourages open discussion on the Making HOME™ website and social media pages. However, as a member of the Making HOME™ you promise to abide by these guidelines.

We expect all members will treat each other with respect. The following types of comments will not be tolerated, and you agree not to post the same:

•  Abusive, defamatory, pornographic, or obscene posts, including material that vilifies, incites violence or hatred, or is likely to offend, insult or humiliate others based on race, religion, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation or any physical or mental disability;
• Fraudulent, deceptive or misleading posts;
• Posts that are in violation of any intellectual property rights;
• Posts that are in violation of any law or regulation;
• Posts that are otherwise inappropriate or offensive;
• Materials, photographs or videos that feature another person, or the details of another person, that you have posted without that person’s consent;
• Posts that are advertisements or are commercial in nature (unless we give you permission) or posts that are “junk mail” or SPAM; or
• Posts that pose or create a privacy or security risk to any person.

We reserve the right to delete or modify any post, in our absolute discretion, including where it contains material, which in our opinion, does not comply with these guidelines, or to block any user for failing to comply with these guidelines, or who seeks to damage the community, or displays threatening, bullying or offensive behaviour towards Making Home™ or our community members.

Continued behaviour of this nature will result in the offending user/s being blocked and may be reported.

To the extent permitted by law, we hold no liability for any loss or damage caused by or in connection with the removal of, or modification of, any post or comment or if you are blocked access or reported to the relevant social media platform due to your behaviour.

Chance plays no part in determining the winners, unless otherwise stated in the competition. Making Home™ reserves the right to verify the validity of entries and disqualify any entrant submitting an entry which, in our opinion, includes objectionable content, including but not limited to profanity, nudity, potentially insulting, scandalous, inflammatory or defamatory images or language.

The prizes must be taken as stated, and no compensation will be payable if a winner is unable or unwilling to use the prize or any element of the prize as stated. A prize cannot be transferred to any other person. There can be no changes made to travel arrangements once tickets are issued. Any unused portion of the prize is forfeited.

We LOVE being able to reward our wonderful members for genuine interactions on our site and will do our best, if you’re a lucky prize recipient, to deliver your prize to you. Please note that we will attempt delivery a maximum of two times, from there if you haven’t been able to be home to accept delivery then your prize will be left at your local post office for you to arrange collection at your own expense. We do our very best to ensure we can deliver so to help us please ensure your profile is up to date and that you’ve included a phone number in case we need to contact you. If you have unsubscribed or haven’t provided a phone number it makes it difficult to contact you in regards to prize delivery and your prize may not be able to be delivered – we are not liable for any missing prizes.
