This policy document outlines the guidelines regarding antidiscrimination and the prevention of hate speech on the Warenhuis.online platform. This platform serves as a global hub where conscious consumers are connected with creative entrepreneurs, aiming to provide an inclusive environment where people from diverse backgrounds can safely engage in creating, selling, and buying unique products. Below are the key points of this policy:

Antidiscrimination Policy:

Warenhuis.online explicitly prohibits the use of its services for discriminating against individuals based on personal characteristics, also known as "protected groups." These characteristics include, but are not limited to, race, color, ethnic origin, country of origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, and other legally protected characteristics. Sellers are expected to be aware of local laws and regulations related to discrimination and adhere to them.

Hate Speech Policy:

The use of hate speech, defined as violent, offensive, derogatory, or demeaning language directed at an individual or group based on their protected characteristics, is strictly prohibited on Warenhuis.online. This applies to both public features and direct communication between community members.

Prohibited Behavior for Sellers:

Sellers are not allowed to exhibit discriminatory behavior in the content of their stores, announcements, or store policies. Examples of prohibited behavior include refusing services based on protected group membership, exclusion of certain groups in store policies, and the use of derogatory language towards protected groups.

Reporting Procedure:

Users are encouraged to report instances of discrimination, hate speech, or items that violate the policy to the admin of Warenhuis.online. This can be done through the "support" button on the personal dashboard.

Language Preference and Control:

Users have the option to adjust their language preference. However, the Dutch-language document takes precedence and controls the use of Warenhuis.online's services.
