Weekly Sigma, Meme Creator recognition and merchandise rewards

NewSigma Technologies Private Limited | https://newsigma.in/

These Guidelines explain how Weekly Sigma, Meme Creator recognition and merchandise rewards work. They form part of the Terms of Service and should be read with the Community Guidelines, Privacy Policy and Grievance Redressal Policy.

1. About Weekly Sigma

Weekly Sigma is NewSigma's recurring Meme Creator recognition programme. Each competition week begins at 12:00:00 AM IST on Friday and ends at 11:59:59 PM IST on the following Thursday, inclusive. At the end of the week, an eligible Meme Creator may be recognized as the Sigma of the Week.

The Sigma of the Week may receive recognition on NewSigma and merchandise or another non-monetary reward announced for the relevant competition period. Weekly Sigma does not currently create a guaranteed monetary entitlement.

2. Eligibility

• Be legally eligible to participate in the relevant programme and receive the applicable reward;
• Have an active NewSigma account in good standing;
• Comply with the Terms of Service, Community Guidelines and these Guidelines;
• Meet any additional eligibility requirements announced for the relevant competition;
• Not be subject to a suspension, reward disqualification or other restriction that makes you ineligible.

Eligibility for a particular Weekly Sigma competition, Meme Creator programme, reward, merchandise item or other programme benefit may be subject to additional age, consent, authorization, identity, delivery, payment or other requirements imposed by applicable law or the specific programme rules. Where such requirements apply, NewSigma may require appropriate verification, consent or authorization, restrict access to the relevant programme or feature, or apply other reasonable safeguards. A Meme Creator who does not satisfy an applicable requirement may be ineligible to participate in the relevant programme or receive the relevant reward.

3. How Weekly Sigma Is Determined

NewSigma may consider eligible engagement and programme-specific signals. Depending on the applicable competition, these may include Danks, genuine engagement, shares, meaningful interactions, participation during the competition period and other signals disclosed by NewSigma. A displayed ranking is not necessarily a final ranking.

3.1 Merchandise Eligibility Threshold

For each completed competition week, NewSigma determines a merchandise eligibility threshold using the size of the Sigma community during the relevant competition week.

The threshold is determined using NewSigma's platform-scale methodology and may vary between competition periods as the Sigma community grows or changes. NewSigma may communicate the applicable threshold through the Platform, creator interface or other appropriate means.

For merchandise eligibility, the eligible Danks of the qualifying meme must be at least the applicable threshold, and those Danks are counted for the relevant competition week only.

Only eligible Danks are counted. NewSigma may exclude fraudulent, manipulated, purchased, bot-generated, duplicated, technically invalid or otherwise ineligible engagement.

Recognition as Sigma of the Week and merchandise eligibility are separate. An eligible creator may be recognised as the Sigma of the Week even when the merchandise eligibility threshold is not reached. However, the merchandise reward is not unlocked unless the applicable threshold and all other requirements of these Guidelines, the Terms of Service, Community Guidelines and any other applicable programme rules are satisfied.

4. Raw Engagement and Eligible Engagement

Engagement displayed on the Platform may differ from engagement eligible for Weekly Sigma. NewSigma may exclude engagement that is fraudulent, manipulated, bot-generated, purchased, duplicated, technically invalid, associated with ineligible activity or otherwise inconsistent with the programme rules.

5. Content Eligibility

• Violates the Terms or Community Guidelines;
• Is removed, restricted or prohibited by applicable law or policy;
• Infringes third-party rights;
• Is duplicated, minimally modified or substantially repetitive where the programme rules make it ineligible;
• Uses deliberately unrelated or deceptive Context;
• Is verified through Prior Publication as having been publicly published elsewhere before the relevant submission, where that finding makes the content ineligible.

6. Prior Publication and Originality

You must not knowingly present previously published content as newly created content for Weekly Sigma where the programme rules make such content ineligible. If a Prior Publication claim is verified, NewSigma may exclude the post and take additional action for deliberate manipulation or false evidence.

7. Fair Competition

• Bots or automated accounts used for artificial engagement;
• Fake or multiple accounts;
• Purchased Danks, views, likes, comments or shares;
• Engagement-exchange groups for artificial ranking;
• Self-voting through alternate accounts;
• Fraudulent reporting;
• Coordinated attempts to inflate or suppress another creator;
• Bug or system exploitation;
• Manipulation of moderation, Prior Publication or reward processes.

8. Winner and Merchandise

The creator determined to be the eligible Sigma of the Week may receive recognition on NewSigma. Where the merchandise eligibility threshold and all other applicable requirements are satisfied, the creator may receive the announced merchandise or non-monetary reward. Merchandise may vary. NewSigma may specify variants, sizes, delivery conditions, claim windows, verification requirements and other programme rules.

Reward merchandise is not a purchase, has no cash value unless expressly stated otherwise, and is generally not exchangeable for cash. The recipient must provide accurate information needed for delivery. NewSigma is not responsible for delivery failures caused by inaccurate or incomplete recipient information, subject to applicable law.

9. Validation of Results

Weekly Sigma results may be validated after the competition period. NewSigma may review engagement authenticity, account eligibility, content eligibility, Prior Publication findings, moderation history, technical issues and suspected manipulation. NewSigma may correct rankings or outcomes where errors, fraud, manipulation or ineligible activity are discovered.

10. Reward Forfeiture

A creator may lose eligibility where the creator violates these Guidelines, the Terms or Community Guidelines, or where the relevant content or engagement is later determined to be ineligible. Where a reward has already been delivered, NewSigma may take reasonable action permitted by law and the programme rules.

11. Meme Creator Conduct

Participation in Weekly Sigma does not provide an exemption from the Community Guidelines. Creators may be creative, political, provocative, satirical, controversial or humorous while remaining responsible for lawful conduct and truthful programme submissions.

12. Taxes, Delivery and Verification

Where required by law or programme design, NewSigma may request reasonable identity, delivery or tax information before providing a reward. Any applicable taxes, duties or charges will be handled according to the programme rules and applicable law.

13. Disputes and Appeals

Programme disputes may be raised through the Grievance Redressal Policy. NewSigma may review relevant Platform data, engagement records, moderation history, Prior Publication findings and technical information. Nothing in these Guidelines limits statutory rights or remedies.

14. No Employment or Guaranteed Income

Weekly Sigma and Meme Creator programmes are recognition and reward programmes. Participation does not create an employment, agency, partnership or contractor relationship with NewSigma and does not guarantee income, continued recognition or future rewards.

15. Programme Changes or Discontinuation

NewSigma may modify, pause, suspend or discontinue Weekly Sigma or other Meme Creator programmes, including changes to eligibility criteria, calculation methods, reward types or competition periods, subject to applicable law. Changes will generally apply prospectively unless a correction or integrity action requires otherwise.

16. General Conditions

These Guidelines operate with the Terms, Community Guidelines, Privacy Policy and Grievance Redressal Policy. Where law requires a different result, law prevails. NewSigma may take reasonable action not expressly described here where necessary to protect users, creators, reward integrity or Platform security.
