Restrictions to use of our platform
Our intention is to help our Users to find reliable and valuable information on our platform, including through contributed content from our customers. When we find Users‘ contributions that do not comply with our guidelines we may limit or suspend this user-generated content (UGC).
Before taking action as described below, we’ll provide our User who has made available unappropriate content with advance notice and warning when reasonably possible, describe the reason for our action, and give our User an opportunity to fix the problem, unless there are objective and concrete reasons to believe that doing so would:
- cause harm or liability to a User, third party or our company;
- violate the law or a legal enforcement authority’s order;
- compromise an investigation;
- compromise the operation, integrity, or security of our services.
Temporary restrictions
If we recognise a possible violation of our guidelines, User’s content may be turned off temporarily to check the facts and to monitor if the problem is fixed. When we realise that the problem has been fixed or the risk of violating our Guidelines is diminishing, we lift the restrictions.
We will take appropriate and objective action depending on the severity of the violation.
Removing your content
If there are objective and concrete reasons to believe that any of your content
- breaches these Guidelines,
- breaches our Terms and Conditions,
- violates applicable law or
- could harm our Users or customers, third parties or our company
then we reserve the right to take down some or all of that content in accordance with applicable law. Examples include child pornography, content that facilitates human trafficking or harassment, terrorist content, and content that infringes someone else’s intellectual property rights. We will take appropriate and objective action depending on the severity of the violation.
If you believe your content has been turned off or removed in error, you can ask for a review and you have the possibility to appeal. Here you will find information how to request review and how to appeal.
Suspending or terminating your access to our services
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to our services or delete or ban your account if any of these things happen:
- you materially and manifestly or repeatedly breach our Guidelines;
- you provide manifestly illegal content for example by promoting or facilitating youth exploitation or child sexual abuse material, threatening violence, making available content about human trafficking, real-world torture, hacking, phishing, harassing, significant violation of intellectual property rights;
We reserve the right to suspend for a reasonable period of time and after having issued a prior warning the processing of notices and complaints through the notice and action mechanisms ant internal complaints-handling systems by Users that frequently submit notices or complaints that are manifestly unfounded.
We will take appropriate and objective action. The decision to suspend access, and for how long, will depend on factors such as the nature and severity of the illegal content, the history of the User’s behaviour, including the amount of manifestly illegal content posted, and, if identifiable, the intent of the User.
For more information about how we disable accounts and what happens when we do, see this Help Center page.
