The Virbela Open Campus is a community of neighbors and Virbela employees who join the Open Campus [OC] daily to work, learn, network, and socialize together. They are business owners, educators, advocates, entrepreneurs, students, and thought leaders located all over the world. Just like in any neighborhood, all users are expected to behave like good citizens and be respectful to each other, and the platform while adhering to the Virbela EULA

Virbela does not tolerate the following behaviors and is grounds for removal or suspension from the Virbela Open Campus. 

  • Bullying and/or Harassment - Virbela allows users to speak freely on matters and people of public interest. Still, we strive to take action on reports of abusive, harassing, threatening, or defamatory behavior directed at individuals. Repeatedly targeting users with unwanted friend requests or messages is a form of harassment.
  • Sharing, posting, or transmitting any material or communication - that is designed to provoke, harass, upset, embarrass, or antagonize anyone (including Virbela staff or other users), especially trolling, bullying, or intimidating, is strictly prohibited within any Service of Virbela
  • Do not impersonate - Virbela requests users use their real names and account identities when using the Services. Users are prohibited from publishing the personal information of others without their consent. Claiming to be another person, creating a false presence for an organization or person, or creating multiple accounts undermines the community and violates Virbela's EULA.
  • No Hateful Speech - Virbela does not permit the use of the Services to disseminate hateful speech or incite violence.

  • Graphic Content - Virbela can be a place where people turn to share their experiences and raise awareness about issues important to them. Sometimes, those experiences and issues involve graphic content that is of public interest or concern. In many instances, when people share this type of content, it is to condemn it. However, graphic images shared for sadistic effect or to celebrate or glorify violence will not be tolerated on our Services.
  • Nudity - Virbela has a strict policy against the sharing of pornographic content and any explicitly sexual content. We also impose limitations on the display of nudity.
  • Intellectual Property - Before sharing content on Virbela, please be sure you have the right to do so. We ask that you respect copyrights, trademarks, and other legal rights including, but not limited to, not conducting Virbela End-User License Agreement Page 9 of 9 copyright infringement, trademark infringement, defamation, invasion of privacy, identity theft, hacking, stalking, fraud and the distribution of counterfeit software.
