Community rules

• Be 18 or older and show your own face, live.
• Wear normal everyday clothes, as for a conversation in the street (see the clothing table).
• Treat the other person with respect. No means no.
• Use Next when a conversation does not work, without insults.

• Using Cupido to arrange meetings, or asking for or accepting money or gifts to meet someone.
• Minors, in front of or behind the camera.
• Nudity, undressing, showing underwear, touching yourself, sexual acts or poses, or pointing the camera at your body.
• Asking someone to expose themselves or do any of these things.
• Showing or doing something on request in exchange for money or gifts, or asking for gifts in exchange for anything.
• Asking for or offering money, M-Pesa codes, airtime or "investments".
• Threats, harassment, hate speech or violence.
• Recorded, fake or someone else’s video.
• Recording, photographing or sharing the other person: it leads to a ban and can be reported (“Recorded or shared my image”).
• Advertising, spam or multiple accounts.

The same for men and women, everywhere on Cupido.

• Lives are public: normal clothes only. Swimwear and lingerie are forbidden too.
• Gifts are voluntary and buy nothing. Nobody may ask for gifts in exchange for anything; anyone who does can be reported (“Asked for gifts in exchange”).
• No phone numbers, addresses or requests for money.

• In video calls and Lives, a detector runs on your device. If it sees something forbidden it blurs your image for the other side and warns you; if it continues for about 5 seconds, the call or Live ends.
• The detector can be wrong: it never closes an account by itself. Only the team confirms a violation, after seeing the snapshot kept at the moment of the alert.

• Report buttons are always on screen, for both sides: “Exposed themselves”, “Asked me to expose myself”, “Asked for gifts in exchange”, “Looks under 18”, “Recorded or shared my image” and more.
• Every report ends the call and blocks that person for whoever reported.
• “Looks under 18” blocks the reported account straight away, until the team decides.

• 1st confirmed violation: warning. The call is cut and what was paid for that call does not count as earnings.
• 2nd violation: 7-day suspension.
• 3rd violation, or full nudity or a sexual act: account closed and balance held for review.
• Suspected minor: immediate block; the evidence may be handed to the authorities.
• You can appeal a decision once, at cupido.co.mz/en/recurso.
