Community Guidelines

Last updated 24 Oct 2026

VendorsAxis is where construction businesses find each other, talk shop and win work. These rules keep it useful and safe for everyone. They apply to everything you put on VendorsAxis: your profile, community posts, messages, and quote and call requests.

We have zero tolerance for abusive content or abusive members. Break these rules and we remove the content. Do it again, or do something serious like a scam, and we close your account.

The rules

• No spam. No bulk messages, copy-paste pitches to everyone, or posts that have nothing to do with the trades. One clear message to the right business beats fifty to the wrong ones.
• No scams or fraud. No fake jobs, fake bids, requests for upfront fees or deposits under false pretences, phishing links, or asking for passwords or bank details.
• No harassment. Disagree on price or scope all you like, but no threats, insults, hate, discrimination, or sexual content. If someone says no, leave it there.
• No misleading posts or profiles. Use your real business name. Only list licences, certifications and work you actually have. Do not pretend to be another business or person.
• Nothing illegal. No content that breaks the law, including stolen goods, unlicensed work where a licence is required, or sharing someone else's private information.

Keep it professional. Treat every member the way you would want a client to treat you on site.

How to report a problem

See something that breaks these rules? Do two things:

1. Report it so our team can act. The business you report is not told who reported them.
2. Then block them. Right after you report, we ask Also block this business? Tap Block. Blocking takes effect at once and does not need our review, so they cannot contact you while we look into it.

Where to find Report:

• A post: tap Report under the post on Community.
• A chat: open the chat, tap the ⋮ button at the top, then Report.
• A business profile, request or connection: tap Report at the bottom of their profile, on the request, or in the connection's ⋮ menu.
• A crew message: tap the message in the crew chat, then Report message.
• A work photo: open the photo, then tap Report.
• A review or reply: tap Report under it on the business profile.
• Anything else: email support@vendorsaxis.com.

What happens next

• A real person reviews every report within 24 hours.
• Posts, messages, crew chats and reviews with slurs or obvious abuse are refused automatically before anyone sees them.
• Content that breaks the rules is removed.
• Repeat offenders, and anyone running a scam or posting illegal content, are banned.
• If someone is in danger, call 911 first.

How to block a business

Blocking is instant. A blocked business cannot message you or send you quote and call requests, and they disappear from your matches, connections, search and Community feed. They are not told.

• From a chat: tap ⋮ at the top, then Block.
• From a post: tap Block under the post.
• From a profile, request or connection: tap Block.

Changed your mind? Unblock them any time under Profile → Blocked Businesses.
