OVERVIEW

A This Policy aims to establish guidelines on the responsible use of the Platform, including examples of Products that cannot be registered, advertised, or sold through the Platform.

B This Policy represents a set of Hotmart’s choices designed to provide a specially planned platform for everyone to change their lives through the sale and distribution of Products. Hotmart dedicates a lot of time reflecting on the Products that can be promoted on the Platform, evaluating trends as certain issues evolve. Therefore, this Policy is a living document, which can be updated at any time.

C The list of examples below is not exhaustive. It serves to guide our verification teams while assessing the occurrence of possible violations of this Policy, as well as to clarify to the User community some of the main Products that should not be part of the Platform.

D Hotmart may seek the assistance of external collaborators in its decision-making processes regarding possible violations of this Policy. The final decision regarding the acceptance of registration, removal, or maintenance of a Product on the Platform, or the adoption of any other measure, shall always be made by Hotmart, which is responsible for evaluating the occurrences by applying the Terms and this Policy.

E We are very proud to be one of the most powerful knowledge and information dissemination tools today. When we make decisions, we know that not everyone will agree with our conclusions, but we always try to contemplate different points of view regarding the occurrences that arise, to create a safe environment for our community. The application of this Policy may depend on information available at different times, and we always try to apply it considering the context and the nuances in which certain words, ideas, images, or sounds are manifested in the Products registered on the Platform.
