At AymoLive, our mission is to provide the best shared social video experience created by our growing community where creators and communities can interact safely. To achieve this goal, we ask that all users participate in such a way that promotes a friendly, positive experience for our global community.
In addition to our Terms and Condition, we provide the following guidelines for our community. These guidelines fall under a common sense philosophy and apply to all user generated content and activity on our services. This is considered a living document that we regularly update based on the evolution of the AymoLive community and service. Additional guidelines or specific exceptions may be applicable for certain services or properties under the AymoLive Service.
To protect the integrity of our community, as the provider of the service, we at AymoLive reserve the right to suspend any account at any time for any conduct that we determine to be inappropriate or harmful.

Suspension Evasion
All suspensions are binding until expiration or removal upon successful appeal. Any attempt to circumvent an account suspension or chat ban by using other accounts, identities, or by appearing on another user's account will also result in an additional enforcement against your accounts, up to an indefinite suspension.
In addition, it is prohibited to use your channel to knowingly feature or advertise a suspended user.
