Community Guidelines

Your profile and company page are your professional identity on AMANA. What you share here shapes how other members perceive and engage with you — and how much they're willing to trust you. That's why honesty is non-negotiable.

If you represent a company, make sure you are genuinely authorized to do so. Creating profiles for companies or individuals without their consent is not permitted.

AMANA is a business-focused platform. Every interaction here — a connection request, a message, a post — takes place in a professional context. We ask all members to keep that context front of mind.

AMANA brings together professionals from across the MENA region and beyond — people of different nationalities, cultures, religions, industries, and backgrounds. That diversity is one of our greatest strengths. We ask every member to treat every other member with genuine respect.

Disagreements happen in business — but there is always a professional way to handle them. If you have a dispute with another member, address it privately and respectfully, or seek appropriate recourse outside the platform.

Messaging and connection requests are among the most powerful tools on AMANA. They allow you to build real relationships. But that only works if members communicate in good faith.

The posts, updates, and articles shared by our members are what make the AMANA feed genuinely useful. We encourage members to share content that adds real value to the professional community.

Trust is the foundation of AMANA. That means we take a zero-tolerance approach to fraudulent or deceptive commercial activity on the platform.

If you receive a suspicious offer or solicitation from another member, please report it to us immediately. Do not engage, do not transfer funds, and do not share personal financial information.

Every member of AMANA has a right to privacy. When you connect with someone on this platform, you are given a degree of access to their professional information — treat that access with the same discretion you would expect for your own.

The AMANA Verified badge indicates that AMANA has reviewed and confirmed the holder's Trade License at the time of application. It is a mark of business legitimacy — not a guarantee of financial soundness, professional competence, or any other quality beyond what the badge explicitly represents.

For a full explanation of what AMANA Verified does and does not represent, please refer to our Verification Policy.

To be clear and direct: the following are not permitted on AMANA under any circumstances.

• Fake, fictitious, or impersonation profiles
• Harassment, threats, bullying, or intimidation of any member
• Spam or unsolicited mass messaging
• Hate speech or discriminatory content targeting any individual or group
• Illegal offers, fraudulent schemes, or deceptive commercial propositions of any kind
• Unauthorized financial services, investment solicitation, or regulated activities
• MLM pyramid structures or recruitment-based business models masquerading as legitimate ventures
• Unauthorized cryptocurrency or token promotions in violation of applicable law
• Privacy violations, including doxxing or sharing private communications without consent
• Fake reviews, fabricated endorsements, or manipulated reputation signals
• Impersonation of any person, company, authority, or organization
• Misleading advertising or materially false claims about products or services
• Fraudulent or deceptive use of the AMANA Verified badge, including submission of false documents

⚠️ This list is illustrative, not exhaustive. AMANA's full Acceptable Use Policy contains detailed and binding rules governing all permitted and prohibited conduct on the Platform.

We want AMANA to be a community that enforces its own standards — through the professional behaviour of its members. But when that is not sufficient, we will step in.

If we find that a member has violated these guidelines — or the broader Acceptable Use Policy or Terms of Service — we may take any of the following actions, at our discretion:

• Remove the content in question
• Issue a formal warning to the member
• Restrict certain platform features (such as messaging or posting)
• Remove the AMANA Verified badge
• Temporarily suspend the account
• Permanently terminate the account

For serious violations — such as fraud, illegal activity, harassment, or submission of forged documents — we may proceed directly to account termination without prior warning and, where required or permitted by applicable law, cooperate fully with competent authorities.

Enforcement actions are not necessarily applied in sequence. The severity and nature of each situation determines the appropriate response.

If you see something on AMANA that doesn't belong here — a fake profile, suspicious offer, harassment, or anything else that concerns you — please let us know. We take every report seriously.

All reports are reviewed confidentially. We cannot always share the outcome of an investigation with the reporting party, but we review every submission in good faith.

Building a platform worthy of your trust is an ongoing responsibility — one we take seriously. AMANA is committed to:

• Maintaining a safe, trustworthy, and genuinely professional environment for every member
• Applying our guidelines consistently and fairly, without discrimination
• Listening to community feedback and continuously improving our policies and practices
• Being transparent about what we expect from members and what members can expect from us

We are grateful to every member who contributes positively to this community. If you have feedback on these guidelines — or anything else about AMANA — we would genuinely like to hear from you at contact@amana-uae.com.
