Home Bites is a community of buyers and home bakers. To keep it trustworthy, everyone who posts content — listings, photos, reviews, custom requests, and messages — must follow these guidelines. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behaviour.
Be honest
- List real food with accurate names, photos, prices, ingredients, and allergen information.
- Write reviews based on genuine experiences. No fake, paid, or retaliatory reviews.
- Don’t impersonate other people, bakeries, or brands.
Be safe & lawful
- Sellers must follow all food-safety, hygiene, labelling, and licensing laws.
- No illegal, unsafe, expired, or misrepresented food.
- No alcohol or other restricted items sold to anyone who may not legally buy them.
Be respectful
- No harassment, hate speech, threats, or discrimination of any kind.
- No sexually explicit, violent, or otherwise objectionable content.
- No spam, scams, or attempts to take payments outside the app to bypass our secure payment process.
- Only upload content you have the right to use.
Reporting objectionable content or users
If you see content or behaviour that breaks these guidelines:
- In the app: use the Report option on a listing, review, profile, or message.
- Block a user: open their profile or your chat and choose Block to stop further contact.
- Email us: support@homebites.app with details and a screenshot if possible.
How we moderate
We review reported content and act on violations. We aim to remove objectionable content and respond to reports within 24 hours, and we may warn, suspend, or permanently remove users who break these guidelines. We also screen content and may remove anything that violates these rules, with or without a report.
Consequences
Depending on severity, violations can lead to content removal, loss of the verified badge, temporary suspension, or permanent removal from Home Bites. Serious or illegal activity may be reported to the authorities.
