  • Relevant communications.

Users must not fabricate, alter or deliberately destroy evidence for the purpose of misleading an investigation.


31. No Retaliation

A person who reports a genuine concern, participates in an investigation or provides information to 3rip should not be subjected to retaliation through the platform.
