Service Guidelines
Berriz is a special place for all of those around the world who are fans of someone or something. It aims to be more than just a community, striving to become a mega fandom complex where fans can transcend nationalities and languages to communicate, interact and share their interests and affection with others.
We respect the rights of all fans and truly understand the joy from engaging in fan activities. Therefore, we believe that it is an important role of ours to support all fans to enjoy themselves while respecting one another’s ‘likes’ and prevent any potential abuse that may arise in the process. For this reason, Berriz has established these Guidelines to foster and protect a safe and enjoyable community environment for all users.
These Guidelines have been drafted by reflecting and taking into consideration the opinions of a diverse group of people across many nationalities, languages and beliefs, in order to ensure that everyone has a joyful experience as a fan. These Guidelines may be supplemented or amended from time to time to create a healthier community culture, only within the scope authorized under applicable laws, and any changes to these Guidelines and the effective date thereof will be notified in advance within the Service.
