Everything you need to know about creating on Inner Circle.
Platform rules, content standards, SLA policy, and conduct guidelines. Last updated 25 July 2026.
Inner Circle is a selective platform. We hand-pick creators who bring genuine expertise, real engagement, and professional conduct. These guidelines protect that standard — for creators, fans, and the community as a whole. By joining Inner Circle as a creator, you agree to these guidelines. Violations may result in warnings, feature restrictions, or permanent removal.
1. Your profile
Your profile is your storefront. It should accurately represent who you are and what you offer.
- Use a real photo of yourself — not a logo, illustration, or someone else's image.
- Your bio should reflect your actual expertise and what fans can expect from a session with you.
- Do not claim credentials, qualifications, or experience you do not have.
- Keep your session prices consistent with the value you deliver.
- Update your availability regularly. Do not leave stale availability that fans can book into.
2. Sessions
Sessions are the core of Inner Circle. Fans pay in advance based on your profile and your word.
Showing up
- Honour every confirmed booking. Cancellations should be rare and only for genuine emergencies.
- Join your session on time. Being late without notice is not acceptable.
- If you need to cancel, do so as early as possible and notify the fan immediately.
- Repeated no-shows or late cancellations will result in account suspension.
During sessions
- Be fully present. No multitasking or distractions during paid sessions.
- Deliver what your profile promises.
- Treat fans with respect at all times.
- Do not solicit personal contact details or attempt to move fans off-platform to avoid fees.
- Do not record sessions without the explicit consent of your fan.
3. Priority DMs
Fans pay for Priority DMs expecting a timely, substantive reply. The SLA is 6 hours.
- Reply within 6 hours. If you do not, the fan is automatically refunded and you forfeit the payout.
- Replies must be genuine and relevant to the fan's message.
- Do not use Priority DMs to upsell fans to external products or services.
4. Paid questions
Fans pay for thoughtful, expert answers. The SLA is 48 hours.
- Answer within 48 hours. Unanswered questions trigger an automatic refund.
- Your answer should be thorough and directly address the question asked.
- Do not copy-paste generic responses.
- If a question falls outside your expertise, say so clearly — but still respond within the SLA window.
5. Exclusive content and subscriptions
Subscribers pay monthly for exclusive access. Deliver consistent value to retain them.
- Post regularly — at least once per week is the recommended minimum.
- Content must be exclusive — do not post the same content publicly that subscribers are paying to access.
- All content must meet our content standards (see Section 8).
6. Group rooms
Group rooms are live sessions with multiple paying fans. They require preparation.
- Set a clear title and description so fans know what they are paying for.
- Show up on time. Fans in a group room cannot be individually rescheduled.
- Manage the room professionally — handle questions, maintain order, and stay on topic.
7. Communication with fans
- Be responsive. Unanswered messages, missed sessions, and ignored questions damage your reputation.
- Do not initiate romantic or inappropriate conversations with fans.
- Do not share personal contact information (phone numbers, WhatsApp, etc.) to bypass the platform.
- If a fan behaves inappropriately, report it to support@joininnercircle.vip. Do not retaliate.
8. Content standards
All content you post must meet the following standards:
- No adult or sexually explicit content of any kind.
- No hate speech — content that attacks people based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or nationality.
- No violence — content that depicts, promotes, or glorifies physical harm.
- No misinformation — do not present false information as fact, particularly on medical, legal, financial, or political topics.
- No spam — do not post repetitive or low-quality content.
- Respect copyright — only post content you own or have the right to use.
9. Cancellation & no-show policy
- Fan cancels 24h+ before: Full refund. No payment to creator.
- Fan cancels within 24h: No refund. Creator paid in full.
- Creator no-show: Full refund to fan. Creator receives nothing. Repeated no-shows result in account suspension.
- Creator cancels with 12h+ notice: Full refund to fan. No penalty to creator (up to 2 times per month).
10. Financial conduct
- Do not attempt to manipulate payouts or abuse the refund system.
- If you believe a payout is incorrect, contact support@joininnercircle.vip.
- Creators are responsible for their own tax obligations on earnings from Inner Circle.
