Verification Rules

Verification is a trust and safety tool designed to help Modishads confirm certain facts about an account, such as identity, age eligibility, professional role, or other feature-specific requirements.

Verification is not a guarantee of a member's character, skill, qualifications, reliability, financial ability, legal compliance, or suitability for a collaboration or business relationship.

Modishads is intended only for people age 18 and older. Identity or age verification may be required when reasonably necessary to confirm eligibility for the Service or a specific feature.

When identity verification is required, members must submit accurate, current, and authentic information through the designated verification process. Fraudulent, altered, borrowed, stolen, synthetic, or otherwise deceptive verification materials are prohibited.

A successful identity check means only that the applicable verification process was completed to the standard used by Modishads or its verification provider at that time.

Active paid memberships include identity-verification processing at no additional charge while the paid subscription remains active, subject to reasonable anti-abuse attempt limits. Members on the free Essential plan must pay the price shown before each new provider attempt. A payment covers processing only: it does not purchase a badge, guarantee approval, or guarantee that the provider will accept the submitted materials. A provider-requested continuation or resubmission within the same active session does not require another payment; a new attempt after a final unsuccessful, expired, or revoked result may require a new payment.

Modishads may offer separate indicators or checks for professional roles, credits, collaborations, organizations, or other qualifications. The evidence required may vary by role or feature.

Professional-role verification does not create an employment, agency, licensing, certification, or endorsement relationship between Modishads and the verified member.

Under Option A, identity verification is not required to submit a photo. Before a prize can be claimed or paid, every model featured in the winning image and the member who submitted it must have current, successful identity verification. If the submitter is also a featured model, one current verification satisfies both roles. This applies separately to every jointly winning entry. Registration, required roles, and accepted credits remain mandatory. A competition expressly using Verified to Enter additionally requires identity verification before official submission. Real human models and authentic identities remain required in every case.

The submitting member is responsible for coordinating verification of every featured model in the winning image. All required checks must be completed and the prize claimed within 30 days of the official in-account award notification, unless a competition expressly specifies another deadline. Failed, missing, expired, or revoked verification blocks payout. Failure to verify and claim by the deadline may result in forfeiture under the Competition Official Rules.

Verification information is handled according to the Modishads Privacy Policy and the practices of any third-party verification provider used for the process. Identity documents and exact date of birth are not displayed publicly merely because a member completes verification.

Modishads may retain limited verification status, identifiers, fraud-prevention records, or audit information where reasonably necessary for security, legal compliance, enforcement, dispute resolution, or preventing repeated abuse, subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy.

A verification badge or indicator may be shown only while the account remains eligible for that indicator. Members may not copy, fake, manipulate, or falsely claim a Modishads verification badge or status.

Different badges may represent different verification scopes. Members should not assume that one verification type confirms facts outside the specific scope of that check.

Modishads may require reverification when reasonably necessary, including after material account changes, suspected fraud, a long period of inactivity, a security incident, inconsistent information, or before a sensitive feature such as prize payout.

Failure to complete requested reverification may temporarily restrict the affected feature or remove the applicable verification indicator until the requirement is satisfied.

Modishads may revoke or suspend a verification status if it was obtained through deception, the underlying information is no longer valid, the account is transferred, the account violates applicable verification requirements, or continued display would materially undermine trust or platform integrity.

A warning, suspension, or other moderation action may also affect eligibility for verification or related programs even if the original identity check was valid.

Verification belongs only to the account and person or entity that completed the applicable process. Verification may not be sold, transferred, rented, shared, or used to make another person or account appear verified.

Modishads may use automated checks, third-party verification providers, manual review, or a combination of methods. A verification request may be denied, delayed, or require additional information when the submitted information cannot be reliably confirmed or when fraud, security, legal, or eligibility concerns exist.

These Verification Rules supplement the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Safety & Community Guidelines, and Competition Official Rules. Feature-specific verification requirements may also apply.
