Dialova Terms of Use

1. Service Description

Dialova is a community service that allows its members to communicate and interact online.

Depending on the available features, Dialova may allow:

• de créer et personnaliser un profil ;
• de rechercher et découvrir d’autres membres ;
• de participer à des salons de discussion ;
• d’échanger des messages publics ou privés ;
• d’utiliser des fonctionnalités audio ou vidéo par webcam ;
• de partager des photographies et autres contenus ;
• d’interagir avec des utilisateurs provenant de réseaux de discussion externes ;
• d’utiliser différents services communautaires proposés par Dialova.

Les fonctionnalités proposées peuvent évoluer au fil du temps.

2. Account Creation

Access to certain Dialova features requires creating an account.

The user agrees to provide the information necessary for the service to function and not to impersonate a third party.

Each account is personal.

The user is responsible for the confidentiality of their authentication credentials and must inform Dialova as soon as possible if they suspect unauthorized access to their account.

Dialova may offer several authentication methods, including via email address or through external identity providers.

Using a nickname is permitted and constitutes the normal public identification method for members on the service.

3. Profile and Public Information

Each member may have a profile containing, among other things, a nickname, an avatar or photograph, an approximate location, a description, and various information they choose to make visible.

The user remains responsible for the information they publish.

They are advised not to publish information that unnecessarily identifies them or their precise location, such as their home address, phone number, identity documents, or financial information.

Certain information necessary for the operation or security of the service may be retained without being made public.

4. Public and Private Discussions

Dialova allows users to exchange messages in public spaces and, depending on the available features, via private messages.

Each user remains responsible for the messages and content they transmit.

The “private” nature of a conversation means that it is not intended to be publicly accessible to other members. However, it does not constitute an absolute guarantee of inaccessibility: certain content may, for example, need to be technically processed, retained, reported, or consulted in the conditions necessary for the security of the service, the processing of a report, or the compliance with a legal obligation.

Members must respect the confidentiality of their interlocutors and should not publicly disseminate a private conversation without a legitimate reason or without the consent of the persons concerned when such consent is required.

5. Webcam, Microphone, and Real-Time Communications

Dialova may allow the use of a webcam and microphone.

The user remains fully responsible for what they broadcast.

They are responsible for verifying what appears in their camera’s field of view before activating a broadcast.

Depending on the features offered, a webcam may be public or subject to the authorization of its owner.

A webcam private access authorization is personal and temporary. It doesn't grant any right to record, reproduce, or redistribute the images received.

It is forbidden to capture, record, or broadcast another user's images, sounds, or communications in violation of their rights or applicable legislation.

6. Prohibited Behaviors

Dialova must remain a space for respectful discussion and exchange.

The following are notably prohibited:

• le harcèlement, les menaces et l’intimidation ;
• les propos ou contenus illicites ;
• les contenus haineux ou discriminatoires interdits par la loi ;
• l’apologie ou l’incitation à commettre des crimes ou délits ;
• l’exploitation sexuelle et tout contenu impliquant des mineurs ;
• l’usurpation d’identité ;
• la diffusion non autorisée d’informations personnelles concernant un tiers ;
• la publication d’images intimes ou sexuelles d’une personne sans son consentement ;
• les escroqueries, tentatives de fraude ou opérations de phishing ;
• le spam et la publicité abusive ;
• l’utilisation de programmes ou mécanismes destinés à perturber le fonctionnement du service ;
• les tentatives d’accès non autorisé aux comptes, systèmes ou données de Dialova ou de ses utilisateurs ;
• le contournement volontaire des sanctions ou restrictions appliquées par Dialova.

Cette liste n’est pas exhaustive.

Un comportement peut également être sanctionné lorsqu’il compromet manifestement la sécurité du service ou de ses utilisateurs.

7. Content published by users

The user retains the rights they hold over texts, photographs, images, and other content they publish on Dialova.

However, the user grants Dialova, for the duration necessary to provide the service, the technical authorizations needed to host, store, process, technically adapt, and display this content within the normal functioning of Dialova.

This authorization does not transfer any ownership to Dialova.

The user guarantees they have the rights and authorizations necessary to publish the content they transmit.

They must not publish a photograph or content belonging to a third party when they do not have the right to do so.

8. Reporting

Dialova makes mechanisms available to report a user, a message, a profile, or content when technically applicable.

Reports must be made in good faith.

An abusive, deliberately false, or report used solely to harm another member may result in moderation measures.

In the presence of content likely to be manifestly illegal or to present an immediate danger, Dialova may take the necessary measures without waiting for the outcome of an ordinary moderation procedure.

9. Moderation

Dialova may take the necessary measures to ensure the security of the service and enforce these Terms of Service.

Depending on the situation, these measures may include:

• un avertissement ;
• le retrait ou le masquage d’un contenu ;
• la limitation de certaines fonctionnalités ;
• l’exclusion d’un salon ;
• une suspension temporaire ;
• un blocage ;
• une restriction technique ;
• la fermeture définitive d’un compte.

La mesure appliquée dépend notamment de la nature, de la gravité, de la répétition et du contexte du comportement constaté.

Dialova peut prendre immédiatement des mesures conservatoires lorsqu’elles apparaissent nécessaires pour protéger ses utilisateurs, ses systèmes ou des tiers.

Les actions significatives réalisées par l’équipe de modération peuvent faire l’objet d’une journalisation interne afin d’assurer leur traçabilité.

10. User blocking

Dialova may allow a member to block another user.

Blocking may limit or prevent certain interactions between the accounts involved.

Dialova may evolve the specific effects of the block to take into account available features and security or moderation needs.

11. External Networks and Services

Some discussions accessible from Dialova may come from external networks or services, including networks using the IRC protocol.

A user present on such an external network is not necessarily a member of Dialova.

The content and availability of these networks may depend on third parties over which Dialova exercises no control.

Dialova may modify, suspend, or delete access to an external network at any time, especially when it becomes unavailable, incompatible with the service, or contrary to Dialova's security or operational requirements.

External network rules may also apply.

12. Service Availability

Dialova strives to ensure reasonable service availability but does not guarantee permanent or uninterrupted operation.

The service may be temporarily unavailable due to:

• d’une maintenance ;
• d’une mise à jour ;
• d’un incident technique ;
• d’une panne d’un prestataire ;
• d’un problème réseau ;
• d’une mesure de sécurité ;
• d’un événement indépendant de la volonté de Dialova.

Certaines fonctionnalités expérimentales peuvent être modifiées ou supprimées.

13. Security

It is forbidden to attempt to compromise the security or operation of Dialova.

The good-faith discovery of a vulnerability should not be exploited beyond what is reasonably necessary to identify it.

Any security vulnerability discovered can be reported to Dialova using the contact methods provided on the service.

14. Dialova's Intellectual Property

The brand, name, visual identity, graphics, software, and content produced by Dialova remain, unless otherwise indicated, the property of their respective owners.

Use of the service does not grant the user any property rights in these elements.

15. Personal Data

The operation of Dialova requires the processing of certain personal data.

The categories of data processed, their purposes, their retention periods, potential recipients, and the rights users have are detailed in Dialova's Privacy Policy.

Users are invited to consult this document before using the service.

16. Cookies and Local Storage

Dialova may use cookies or similar technologies necessary for the operation, security, authentication, or measurement of the service.

The applicable terms are specified in the corresponding policy when necessary.

17. Account Suspension and Closure

The user can request the closure of their account using the methods offered by Dialova.

Closing an account does not necessarily lead to the immediate deletion of all associated data.

Certain information may be retained when necessary:

• au respect d’une obligation légale ;
• à la sécurité du service ;
• à la prévention des abus ;
• au traitement d’un litige ou d’un signalement ;
• à l’établissement, l’exercice ou la défense de droits.

Les modalités correspondantes sont détaillées dans la Politique de confidentialité.

18. User Responsibility

Each user is responsible for their use of Dialova and the content they publish or transmit.

Meetings, communications, or relationships established between users are their own responsibility.

Dialova recommends that users exercise caution before sharing personal information, sending money, meeting someone known only online, or continuing a conversation on a third-party service.

19. Dialova's Responsibility

Dialova provides a communication channel between users but does not guarantee the identity, intentions, or accuracy of each member's statements.

Within the limits of applicable law, Dialova cannot be held responsible for the behavior or content published by users of which it was unaware, or for which legally required measures were taken after notification or awareness.

No provision of these Terms and Conditions aims to exclude a responsibility that could not legally be excluded.

20. Service Evolution

Dialova is likely to evolve.

Features may be added, modified, or removed, in order to improve the service, its security, its performance, or its business model.

Some currently free features may eventually become optional or paid. Appropriate information will be provided before their paid use.

21. Terms and Conditions Modification

Dialova may modify these Terms and Conditions, in order to take into account:

• de l’évolution du service ;
• de nouvelles fonctionnalités ;
• de modifications techniques ;
• de nouvelles obligations légales ou réglementaires ;
• de l’évolution des règles de sécurité ou de modération.

Lorsque la modification est substantielle, les utilisateurs pourront en être informés par un moyen approprié.

La date de dernière mise à jour figure en tête du présent document.

22. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by French law, subject to mandatory provisions that may apply to the user due to their situation.

In case of difficulty, the parties are invited to first seek an amicable solution.

The competent courts are determined in accordance with applicable legal rules.

23. Contact

For any questions regarding the service, the user may contact Dialova by the means indicated on the Contact page.

Reports relating to content or a user should preferably be made using the reporting features integrated into the service when available.

Requests concerning personal data must be addressed according to the modalities specified in the Privacy Policy.

24. Acceptance of Terms and Conditions

Creating an account and using Dialova implies acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

In case of disagreement with these, the user should not use the service.
