1. BASICS

1.1 USING THIS SERVICE MEANS ACCEPTING OUR TERMS

If you interact with this service in any way, whether registered as a user or from a remote instance (if the service supports federation), you agree and are bound to these terms written in this document.

1.2 THIS DOCUMENT EVOLVES OVER TIME

If there are changes, you will receive an announcement by the service you are using, as you must agree to proceed.

1.3 BREACH OF TERMS

Breaching any of these terms (and these rules), may result in immediate deletion or remote blocking of your account (or server). You may contact the admin if you think there was a mistake.

2. SUPPORT

Currently I'm not able to provide you with much support.

3. PLAY NICE CLAUSES

3.1 USE OF THIS SERVICE

You agree to follow the rules (above) and German/European law while using this service. You will not do any harmful or malicious activities, or otherwise any kind of behavior considered "mean". You are prohibited from abusing this service to disrupt it or other services.

3.2 ILLEGAL CONTENT

Any kind of illegal or harmful content will be removed if found. It also leads to suspension or remote-blocking of your account. Please contact me to provide details if in the need for reporting.

4. ACCOUNT CREATION

4.1 EMAIL

In order to create your account, you must provide a valid non-throwaway email-address. I use this to verify your account, to notify you about messages or invites or to provide you a way to reset your password. Usecases may vary depending on the service you are using. This address will never be shared with 3rd parties.

4.2 MINIMUM AGE

As I want to keep personal data stored about you at a minimum, we can't ask you to verify your parents' consent in case you are between 13–16 years old. As a consequence, you must be at least 16 years old in order to be allowed to use a due.ren service. Exceptions may occur according to the laws of your residential country. See also: (Art. 8 GDPR).

5. RESTRICTION & TERMINATION

Your account might get restricted, blocked, disabled or entirely terminated based on our sole discretion, without prior notice or any liability to you.

6. ENCRYPTION

A due.ren service may allow or force you to encrypt your messages and uploads using end-to-end encryption. Some countries have specific laws you must comply with when using such a feature. You are responsible for checking this in advance. If we learn about such a law being violated by you, we have the right to suspend your account without notice.

7. 3RD PARTIES

Parts of this service are actually provided by 3rd parties (for example Matrix.org, riot.im or vector.im for notifications) such as services in your client's integration manager. For new accounts, I may use Google ReCaptcha or hCaptcha which we are not proud of. Please take the 3rd parties' data protection notes into account.

8. WARRANTY

due.ren does not come with any warranty whatsoever. You are using it at your own risk. You acknowledge that I do not control any 3rd party contents and that at no point and kind of warranty is given.

9. EMERGENCY SERVICE CALLS

Even though technically a call-feature may exist, it is over the internet and does not support any emergency calls whatsoever.
