Ethics policy

Morals and Ethics

TheCultureCrossing.com is open to everyone who shares our interests and passions. We want to welcome you with open arms. This piece is all about our morals and ethics. We aim to update it all the time and not stand still.

Environment

The success of our business is dependent on the trust and confidence we earn from our visitors. We gain credibility by adhering to our commitments. Displaying honesty and integrity and reaching company goals solely through honourable conduct.

It is easy to say what we must do, but the proof is in our actions. Ultimately, we will be judged on what we do.

But, please be aware that we will not tolerate abuse or attacks against our writers or readers.

Ethics is important to us. We all deserve to work in an environment where we are treated with dignity and respect. TheCultureCrossing.com is committed to creating such an environment. Because it brings out the full potential in each of us, which, in turn, contributes directly to our business success. We cannot afford to let anyone’s talents go to waste.

TheCultureCrossing.com is an equal employment/affirmative action employer. We’re committed to providing a workplace that is free of discrimination of all types. A workplace free from abusive, offensive or harassing behaviour.

We will not publish personal attacks against people and companies in the industries we cover. Nor against colleagues in our industry.

Competition

We’re dedicated to ethical, fair and vigorous competition. We will not offer or request improper payments or gratuities in connection with the services for TheCultureCrossing.com or the sales of our services. Nor will we engage or assist in unlawful boycotts of particular customers.

It is important that we respect the property rights of others. We will not acquire or seek to acquire improper means of a competitor’s trade secrets. Or other proprietary or confidential information.

We will not engage in unauthorised use, copying, distribution or alteration of intellectual property.

Our aim is to keep editorial objectivity separate from studios and PR relationships and our commercial team. Ethics are important in editorial matters.

Credit

Unless assets or news (press release) come from official studio source or their PR partners, we provide a linked credit to original sources. We believe it is our responsibility to contribute towards the best journalism practices we can.

For images, non-official art, etc. we credit the artist and seek to contact them as well for permission to use their work.

For previews and reviews, we honour embargoes and save spoilers for when we have permission to post – or after release. If there are major or sensitive spoilers, we keep them out of headlines and images. All to ensure readers are not exposed to any info they are not actively seeking out and we will flag their existence at the top of an article.

We’re don’t want to ruin the anticipation around an entertainment release for our readers, but we will serve those looking for this content.
