Community Guidelines

Somble's purpose is to provide an online marketplace for fitness and wellness content, servicing both fitness Creators and enthusiasts alike. Content that deviates from the general purpose to teach and take online fitness and wellness instruction, or depicts subject matter that Somble deems inappropriate for an online marketplace for fitness and wellness content, could be subject to removal. It is ultimately at the discretion of Somble to determine if content violates either our Terms of Services and/or Community Guidelines.

When you see a page on Somble that you feel violates our community guidelines, please take the time to report them via our content flagging tool.

This is a commitment to Creators. We know this is your livelihood. We invest heavily in making these decisions as fair and transparent as possible. We always want Creators to feel like they have an open line of communication. So how does this translate to moderation? Our first reflex is always to try to educate Creators to help them understand how a rule has been broken and how to remedy the issue. In cases where the violation is particularly bad or intentional we may take further action such as suspending or removing their account. In the most extreme cases we may ban a Creator from using Somble.

Flagged content is reviewed promptly by the Somble team, and necessary action can be taken.

Any content posted that is reported by another User or Somble, and that is deemed unacceptable by Somble, will be deleted and the User notified via email. Users who repeatedly or excessively violate Somble’s terms and services or community guidelines may be deactivated. If Somble becomes aware that a User is underage, Somble will promptly deactivate that User's account and delete all information and content of that User from Somble.
