Platform Rules
Acceptable Use Policy
This policy outlines what you can and cannot do on the GUINEX platform. It supplements our Terms & Conditions and Community Guidelines.
Last Updated: August 1, 2026
Permitted Uses
GUINEX is designed for the following legitimate purposes:
- Educational Reference: Unlocking projects to study code architecture, learn programming patterns, understand circuit designs, and reference research methodologies.
- Portfolio Building: Uploading original engineering projects to build a verifiable technical portfolio linked to your GUINEX ID.
- Knowledge Sharing: Contributing original academic work to help other engineering students learn and grow.
- Fair Monetization: Earning royalties from original technical work through the GP wallet system.
- Community Participation: Following creators, writing honest reviews, participating in challenges, and building your engineering network.
- Technical Support: Using Support Chat to help buyers understand and implement your uploaded projects.
Academic Integrity Policy
GUINEX projects are educational reference materials — NOT submissions for institutional evaluation.
- DO: Study the code, understand the architecture, learn the algorithms, and use concepts as inspiration for your own original work.
- DO: Reference GUINEX projects as source material (just as you would reference a textbook or research paper).
- DO NOT: Submit purchased projects as your own academic work for grades, credits, or degrees.
- DO NOT: Copy entire codebases and claim authorship.
- Academic dishonesty is the buyer's responsibility. GUINEX provides reference material; how you use it determines whether you maintain integrity.

Enforcement
Violations of this policy result in graduated consequences:
- Warning: First-time minor violations receive a written warning and educational guidance.
- Content Removal: Violating content is removed from the Platform.
- Feature Restriction: Temporary restriction of specific features (upload, review, withdrawal).
