Nature of the service + +The service is designed to facilitate anonymous, recurrent, monetary donations +between its users. + +The service normally allows the user to increase the visibility of its profile +in various way, but the organization reserves the right to disable the user's +access to those features. + +The user agrees not to use the service for financial transactions that are not +donations, notably those linked to the execution of a contract or a promise of +recompense. + +## 2. Pricing + +The service is free. The user is invited to participate in its funding, through +the service itself, by donating to the natural and legal persons that maintain +it. + +## 3. Management of the funds + +The organization guarantees that the funds the user has put in its custody will +not be lost in case of bankruptcy of itself or of a third party to whom it has +delegated the custody of the funds. + +The organization pledges to correct any mistake on its part in the execution of +the donations. + +The organization does not guarantee that the user will be able to withdraw the +money in its account without delay. In particular, the organization may impose a +delay to deter and protect itself from fraud. + +## 4. Honesty + +The user commits to use the service in good faith, in particular the user +commits not to lie about their identity and not to fill their profile in a +deceptive way for the purpose of attracting more donations. + +## 5. Reimbursements + +The user commits to reimburse a donation received if it is revealed that its +origin is fraudulent. + +Neither the user nor the organization commit to the reimbursement of a donation +following a request with no solid legal or contractual basis. + +## 6. Intellectual property + +When the user transmits to the service a copyrighted content, it authorizes the +organization to store, copy, translate, and publish it. By doing so the user +declares that they hold the rights necessary to grant this licence. + +## 7. Termination of service + +The user can quit the service by closing their account. Doing so does not negate +the responsibility of the user for the period during which they used the +service. + +The organization may close the user's account if it considers that they have +violated this contract, or a contract with a partner of the organization, or any +applicable law. + +## 8. Disclaimers + +The only commitments made by the organization in this contract are those that +are explicitly listed in it. The organization does not implicitly commit to +anything, in particular it does not guarantee that the service will be +operational at all times without interruptions. + +The organization cannot be held responsible for the consequences of negligence +by the user, notably of failure by the user to secure their password. + +The organization does not assume any of the user's responsibilities. Notably, +the user is responsible for the declaration of any income received through the +service to the competent authorities and to pay any applicable taxes. + +The organization is not responsible in case of dispute between a donor and a +donee when it only acted as an intermediary between them. + +## 9. Modifications + +The organization may modify this contract at any time. It undertakes to inform +the user of any changes. By continuing to use the service, the user tacitly +accepts the new conditions. If the user refuses the new conditions, then they +must close their account. + +## 10. Jurisdiction + +This contract is subject to French law. Any dispute shall be submitted to the +competent French jurisdiction. + +This document is a translation provided for your convenience, the actual binding +contract is the original version written in French. + +If a part of this contract is nullified, that judgment does not nullify the rest +of the agreement. + +## 11. Cookies + +The user acknowledges that cookies are necessary for the service to function and +agrees to their use.
