Policies/en/Terms-of-Use: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, template author, documentation editor, or contracting party, but you should follow the policies that govern each Market and Portal, including the [[Policies/en/Universal-Code-of-Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] ("UCoC"), which would apply across the whole Platform. Since the shared resources of the Platform are dedicated to being freely accessible to the public, the content you contribute to those shared resources is made available under a free license.

Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, contracts and reuse of content, under Swiss law and other applicable laws (which may include the laws where you live or where you use the Platform). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content, and when entering into contracts. In light of this responsibility, there are some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the templates and documentation hosted on the Platform are for general informational purposes only: if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. These Terms of Use also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read them in their entirety.

For clarity, other organizations, such as future local WikiDeal user groups and associations, that may share in the same mission would nevertheless be legally independent and separate from the Ynternet.org Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on the Platform, those other organizations would have no responsibility for the operations of the Platform or its content.

<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha"><li>'''No editorial role:''' because the Platform is collaboratively edited and used, the vast majority of the content would be provided by users, and the Foundation would not take an editorial role. This means that the Foundation would generally not monitor or edit the content of the Platform, and would not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless expressly stated otherwise, the Foundation would not endorse any opinions expressed via the services, and would not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content. In particular, the Foundation would not be a party to the contracts that users conclude with each other through the Platform, and would not guarantee their validity, fairness or performance.</li>

<li>'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' you are legally responsible for your edits and contributions, your contracts, your reuse of published content, your use of the APIs, and your use of the services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the law of Switzerland. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Authorities of other countries may seek to apply their laws to you, including the laws where you live or where you use the Platform. The Foundation generally could not offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.</li></ol>
