Verified status does not guarantee a person’s reliability. Respect everyone’s consent, boundaries and privacy.

Paid advertising · Subject to review

Let your community discover you.

Authorised partners submit their ad to the administrator, who prepares and publishes it after approval. At launch, we allow up to three advertisers and one visible ad per page, including internal banners.

A separate budget

The pilot rate is CAD $50 for 30 days in one agreed placement. It is separate from Premium membership and the CAD $100 annual Partner add-on. Dates, publication limits and renewals are managed manually by the administrator.

Community rules apply

Each ad uses a static image, short text and an “Advertisement” label. Its text, images and destinations are reviewed by the administrator and must follow Veliea’s rules. Links to escort agencies or sites containing illegal content are prohibited, including through redirects or intermediary links.

Advertising is reserved for authorised partners. Payment does not guarantee approval, clicks or results.

Your peace of mind matters

Several layers of protection. One shared purpose.

Helping you take part in a private, moderated space with protection at several levels.

Your account and interactions

Controls within the platform

The Veliea community platform includes privacy settings, blocking and reporting. Veliea adds account approval, protection against repeated sign-in attempts and an optional two-factor authentication feature.

Before traffic reaches the site

A protective network layer

Upstream protection helps detect and mitigate attacks intended to overwhelm the site. Filtering certain malicious requests adds a defensive layer before traffic reaches the server.

At the server

Additional protections

The server has security protection and monitoring tools, along with defences against abusive sign-in attempts on administration services. These measures complement the platform’s own controls.

Application server in Québec

A controlled infrastructure

The server is hosted in a Québec data centre. The hosting infrastructure includes anti-DDoS protection, controlled physical access and monitoring of the facilities.

These measures reduce risk without eliminating it. Protect your sign-in details and respect other members’ privacy.

Room for your media to grow

Separate storage. Controlled access.

Formats and limits: photos up to 2 MB; MP4 videos up to 50 MB per video in posts, messaging, Stories and Reels; TXT attachments only, up to 5 MB per file. Imported audio files (including MP3), PDFs and archives are not allowed.

Images are kept in specialised storage separate from the application server. This reduces the space media takes up on that server and supports growth as members publish more content.

Public access to the storage is disabled. Veliea checks account permissions and content visibility before delivering private files.

The application server is in Québec. Storage and some technical processing may take place elsewhere, including outside Canada. Read our privacy policy.

A simple payment, through your bank.

Currently: Interac e-Transfer only

Admission is by individual invitation and administrator approval. Your first 365 days of membership are complimentary. After that year, annual renewal is CAD $120. Before making any Interac e-Transfer payment, contact the administrator for confirmed receiving details, the amount and applicable dates.

Additional access: Organiser, CAD $50/year; Partner, CAD $100/year; both roles combined, CAD $150/year. These add-ons are payable from activation, including during your complimentary Premium year.

The administrator manually confirms receipt of the transfer before extending membership or activating an add-on. Administrator approval remains required. The additional permissions are active only while both your membership and the relevant add-on are valid. For membership and add-ons, renewal before expiry keeps the remaining days and adds 365 days to the current expiry date. After expiry, the new 365-day period begins on reactivation. Renewal is manual, with no automatic charge. Check the recipient and instructions before confirming; never send banking credentials or security codes to Veliea.

Payment instructions

Your questions, answered

Who is Veliea for?

Veliea is a private, invitation-only community for adults aged 18 and over who want to connect around shared interests. Admission is approved by the administrator. Respect for other members, their privacy and their consent is part of how the platform works.

How do I join Veliea?

Use the individual invitation sent by the administrator or an eligible member, create your account and confirm your email address. Once your admission is approved, you can access the private network with your complimentary first year.

Can I invite other people?

With valid Premium membership, including during your complimentary year, you can prepare up to 1 invitation within a rolling month. The quota increases to 10 with the Organiser role or 25 with the Partner role, provided the role is approved and its annual add-on is paid and valid. If you have both roles, the higher quota applies; the quotas are not added together. Each invitation created counts towards the quota and is intended for one email address only. The recipient must confirm their email address and obtain administrator approval to access VELIEA. Admission to a private group remains a separate decision for that group’s managers.

What does the complimentary first year include?

Your first 365 days of Premium membership are offered following admission. The features available in your account follow the site settings and permissions granted by the administrator. Your membership and expiry dates are shown in your account. Organiser and Partner add-ons are payable from activation, including during your complimentary year.

What happens at the end of my complimentary year?

You can renew annually for CAD $120. Before paying by Interac e-Transfer, contact the administrator for confirmed receiving details, the amount and applicable dates. The administrator confirms receipt before extending your membership. There is no automatic renewal or charge.

How much does annual renewal cost?

The renewal fee is CAD $120 per year after your complimentary first year. Membership renewal is annual and confirmed manually.

How do I pay by Interac e-Transfer?

Before making any payment, contact the administrator for confirmed Interac receiving details, the amount and applicable dates. Then follow the confirmed instructions through your financial institution. Your membership is extended only after the administrator confirms receipt of the transfer.

Can I arrange renewal before my membership expires?

Yes. For membership and add-ons, renewing before expiry keeps your remaining days and adds 365 days to the current expiry date. After expiry, the new 365-day period begins on reactivation. The administrator confirms receipt of your Interac e-Transfer before validating renewal.

Can people view profiles and posts without an account?

The introduction to Veliea, the membership information and this FAQ are public. Community profiles and content stay within the private members’ area. As a member, also check the visibility settings on your posts.

Are videos included?
