To ensure a productive and respectful experience for everyone on Nexook, we've established the following rules and etiquette guidelines for sessions. These apply to both experts and clients.

Before the Session

Preparation

  • Test your equipment (camera, microphone, internet connection) before the session

  • Find a quiet, private space with minimal background noise and distractions

  • Have any necessary materials or resources ready

  • If documents were shared in advance, review them before the session

Punctuality

  • Log in 2 minutes before the scheduled start time

  • A 10-minute grace period applies from the scheduled start time

During the Session

Professional Conduct

  • Dress appropriately for a professional meeting

  • Maintain a neutral background free of distracting or inappropriate elements

  • Stay engaged and focused during the entire session

  • Show respect through active listening and appropriate responses

  • Address any disagreements professionally and constructively

Communication Standards

  • Speak clearly and at an appropriate volume

  • Allow the other person to finish speaking before responding

  • Use professional language and avoid obscenities

  • Be mindful of tone and nonverbal communication

Technical Considerations

  • Keep your microphone muted when not speaking to minimize background noise

  • If you experience technical difficulties, communicate the issue promptly

  • Have a backup plan (phone number, alternative platform) in case of severe technical issues

Recording Prohibition

Sessions must NOT be recorded without explicit consent from all participants.

If recording is desired:

  1. Request permission explicitly before starting any recording

  2. Clearly state the purpose of the recording

  3. Explain how the recording will be used and stored

  4. Only proceed with recording after receiving verbal or written consent

  5. Stop recording immediately if requested by any participant

Unauthorized recording of sessions violates our Terms and Conditions and may have legal consequences.

Confidentiality

  • Information shared during sessions should be treated as confidential

  • Do not share or discuss session content with third parties without permission

  • Experts should adhere to professional standards of confidentiality relevant to their field

Prohibited Content and Behavior

The following are strictly prohibited during Nexook sessions:

  • Harassment or discriminatory comments

  • Sexually explicit content or inappropriate advances

  • Sharing illegal content or promoting illegal activities

  • Attempting to take the professional relationship off-platform

  • Soliciting or sharing contact information to circumvent the Nexook platform

  • Marketing unrelated services or products

After the Session

Follow-up

  • Experts should provide any promised follow-up materials in a timely manner

  • Clients should complete the review process within the 48-hour window

  • Both parties should use the Nexook messaging system for any post-session communication

Dispute Resolution

  • If issues arise during or after the session, first attempt to resolve them directly

  • For unresolved issues, contact support@nexook.com with the subject line "Session Dispute".

  • Include your session ID and a clear description of the concern

Reporting Violations

If you experience behavior that violates these guidelines:

  1. Document the incident

  2. Contact support@nexook.com immediately

  3. Include "Rule Violation Report" in the subject line

  4. Provide the session ID and details about the violation

Nexook takes all reports seriously and will investigate each claim thoroughly.
