English version - TCUs

Introduction

TeDomum provides accessible applications through the Internet (the Services), intended primarly to main functions such as collaboration, communication and publishing. These Services are made available to natural and legal people (the Users) who use them to collaborate, communicate or to publish information, including technical information.

This document is the Terms and Conditions of Use (TCUs) of the aforesaid Services, applicable to TeDomum and its Users. It defines the rights granted by TeDomum to its Users, in particular with regard to the rights related to their personal data and the use limitations of the Services. It also defines the TeDomum moderation policy, detailing the major infractions and resulting actions when TeDomum is informed of these infractions.

By using these Services to collaborate, communicate, or to publish information, the Users acknowledge having read and agreed to be bound by these TCUs. TeDomum recognises to be bound to its Users by these same TCUs. These TCUs may be updated, in which case the update and the differences will be mentionned on the TeDomum news feed.

The failure of one of the parties to use its rights or to abide by these Terms does not constitute a waiver. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between TeDomum and its users, replacing any previous agreement.

The content of these TCUs is free of rights and can be reused for any purpose, without notification or mention.

General principles

TeDomum is a French nonprofit association, under French law, whose services are hosted exclusively in France. Therefore, TeDomum is subject to French law, whick takes precedence in all decisions.

TeDomum considers the Users as innocent of any infraction unless there is material or moral evidence of an offense committed on the Services, as defined by French law or the law specifically applicable to the Users according to their nationality or domicile, or by these TCUs.

TeDomum does not a priori consult the information shared or published by Users on the Services. Therefore, the Users are responsible for their activity on the Services ; if an infraction is found, TeDomum is only held responsible only from the time TeDomum is informed of the situation by an User, a Member of the association, or a third-party (visitor, adminstration, …).

Users are responsible for the security of their personal accounts on the Services, excluding the security aspects inherent in the infrastructure and application. In particular, the User is responsible for the security of its access password. TeDomum is responsible for the security of the hosting infrastructure and applications.

Access to Services by the User is user-iniated and free of charge. Donations made to TeDomum do not constitute payment for use of these Services. The Services are provided “as is” with no guarantees regarding minimum availability or data retention.

A service can be terminated in one of the following ways:

• initiated by the User, when the Service allows it or upon request without specifying any reason for termination ;
• initiated by TeDomum, when there is a failure to comply with these TCUs. In this case, the reason must be notified to the relevant user by any available means of contact ;
• due to expiration of use, after a 24-month inactivity period. The User has been notified at least 2 times within the last 22 months inactivity by any available means of contact, unless the User has previously indicated that their use will not expire.

Communication with TeDomum

A request for the exercise of the rights defined by these TCUs may be addressed to any point of contact defined on this page.

TeDomum does not force its Users to provide their real identity to access to the Services. Also, for the safety of the Users, any request relating to the Services that couldn’t be authentificated through these Services (for example : a request for data deletion or a lost password recovery) would not be processed without reasonable proof of identity from the applicant.

TeDomum n’oblige pas les Utilisateurs à fournir leur identité réelle pour accéder aux Services. Aussi, par mesure de sécurité pour les Utilisateurs, toute demande relative aux Services qui ne pourrait être authentifiée par le biais de ces Services (par exemple une suppression de données ou une récupération de mot de passe perdu) ne saurait être traitée sans que le demandeur fournisse une preuve raisonnable de son identité d’Utilisateur. Three criteria are applied :

• the User provided a personal email address and uses it to communicate without suspicion of fraudulent access by TeDomum.
• the User provided their real natural or moral identity during registration and has subsequently justified this identity upon request.
• the user, whose internal documentation is retained by the association, mentions an email address (for example, in reference to registration for a service that does not allow reference to the profile) and uses this email address to communicate.

An email address means any electronic means of communication whose access is authenticated, such as an e-mail address, a “Matrix” address, a “Jabber” address or an authenticated “IRC” host. As such, a non-authenticated courier service or an IP address cannot constitute an electronic address.

Management of infractions

In accordance with Act 2004-575 (under French law), which fosters confidence in the digital economy, and following the establishment of an offense to the TCUs, TeDomum will remove any content deemed in violation of French law. In the event of a breach concerning a content publication attribute, TeDomum may modify the content published by warning the user. For example, the necessary warnings for the public may be inserted. Each deletion is subject to public notification and individual notification to the User who has published the content. If the illicit character is not established, TeDomum will notify the user who published the content during the instruction phase.

TeDomum distinguishes two categories of offences:

• infringements of the person shall affect any action intended or effect of impairing the physical or psychological integrity of others;
• damages to property shall be in respect of any action intended or effect to affect the integrity of common property or property owned by others.

After the offence was established, if the User was not aware of the offence at the time of the incident, TeDomum warned and sensitized him. Otherwise, TeDomum will banish the account, possibly with a banishment date of seven (7) days in the case of property offences.

When a user submits a wish to commit an offense, TeDomum will systematically proceed to permanently close the account, possibly issuing a definitive ban on all of the user’s accounts or terminating the accounts in question.

If the offense involves all of the user’s content, TeDomum will terminate the account.

If the offense relates to content that has not been published on TeDomum services (e.g., via a federation protocol or automatic data import), TeDomum will notify the publication manager. If the content is to be deleted and the responsible person does not intervene within 48 hours, TeDomum acts based on technical possibilities and in the following order of preference: masking the specific content, blocking the user, and blocking the host. Similarly, when an offense would justify banning a user, TeDomum proceeds in order of preference: blocking the user or blocking the host.

The main cases of offense are defined and must be followed. Any other offense under French law may be characterized independently of its registration in the TCUs.
