User Conduct & Expectations

The operational standards, behavioral expectations, and legal compliance frameworks required for all participants in Strix Shop.

SECTION 01

Integrity in Transactions

Orders placed through Strix Shop are considered intentional commercial commitments governed under general contract principles and consumer protection standards (FTC Act Section 5, 15 U.S.C. § 45). False orders or abandoned deliveries may result in suspension.

SECTION 02

Prohibition of Hacking

Attempts to exploit vulnerabilities, inject malicious code, bypass authentication systems, or access restricted databases are strictly prohibited under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA, 18 U.S.C. § 1030).

ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY — Violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1030 result in permanent platform bans and mandatory administrative reporting.
SECTION 03

Professional Communication

Communication with staff and customers must remain respectful. Harassment, threats, or abusive language are prohibited in alignment with standard institutional anti-harassment codes and state communication regulations.

SECTION 04

Accurate Information

Users are required to provide accurate account particulars. Submitting fraudulent identity details violates baseline data integrity policies and administrative accountability requirements.

SECTION 05

One Account Per Student

Creating multiple profiles for promotional exploitation or ban circumvention violates platform integrity controls and fair-use limitations designed to protect inventory availability.

SECTION 06

Reporting Vulnerabilities

Users who uncover technical glitches or security flaws must report them responsibly. Unauthorized exploitation attempts are legally actionable under federal and state cybersecurity frameworks.

SECTION 07

Payment Compliance

Customers must settle dues during active fulfillment windows. Persistent default on payment obligations may restrict account transaction privileges under store operational guidelines.

SECTION 08

Respect for School Property

Operating within an educational institution means all actions must comply with local school board regulations, facility guidelines, and institutional codes of conduct, such as Conestoga High School's Code of Conduct 2026-2027.

SECTION 09

Privacy of Others

Accessing, recording, or leaking another person's personal records or purchase history violates data protection expectations under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA, 20 U.S.C. § 1232g) and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA, 18 U.S.C. § 2510).

SECTION 10

Enforcement & Compliance

Infractions of this Code—including mandates concerning minor protection under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501-6506)—will lead to immediate account termination and legal or administrative escalation.

Community Standards Matter

Strix Shop relies on mutual trust, legal compliance, and accountability. These standards protect a fair, secure, and orderly system for every member of the community.
