This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you ("User") and InformedIE ("Developer", "we", "us", or "our") governing your use of the InformedIE mobile application (the "Application").
By downloading, installing, or using the Application, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, do not install or use the Application.
1. Scope of License
The Developer grants you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the Application on any mobile device that you own or control, strictly in accordance with the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service and Google Play Store Terms of Service.
2. User-Generated Content (UGC) Policy & Zero Tolerance
InformedIE is a citizen journalism platform that relies on User-Generated Content. To ensure a safe, respectful, and lawful environment, we maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy against objectionable, abusive, or defamatory content.
A. Objectionable Content
You strictly agree NOT to use the Application to create, upload, post, send, or store any content that:
- Is defamatory, libelous, abusive, threatening, or harassing.
- Promotes discrimination, bigotry, racism, hatred, harassment, or harm against any individual or group.
- Is obscene, pornographic, or contains explicit sexual material.
- Promotes violence, terrorism, or illegal acts.
- Infringes on any third party's intellectual property rights, privacy, or publicity rights.
B. Content Moderation
InformedIE employs a hybrid moderation system utilizing both Automated Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms and Human Reviewers.
- 24-Hour Action Guarantee: We commit to reviewing and taking action on all reported or flagged User-Generated Content within twenty-four (24) hours of the report.
- Content found to be in violation of this Agreement will be immediately and permanently removed from the Application.
3. User Empowerment and Reporting Mechanisms
To maintain a safe community, the Application provides the following built-in safety features:
A. Reporting Inappropriate Content
Users can flag any article, video, or comment as inappropriate directly within the Application by tapping the "Report" button associated with the content. Reported content is immediately routed to our moderation team for review within 24 hours.
B. Blocking Abusive Users
If you encounter a user whose behavior violates our policies or causes you distress, you may use the "Block User" feature. Blocking a user will immediately hide all of their past and future content from your view and prevent them from interacting with your account.
4. Enforcement and Expulsion
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to enforce this Agreement strictly.
- Account Suspension and Termination: The Developer reserves the right to suspend or permanently expel (ban) any User who violates these rules, posts objectionable content, or engages in abusive behavior toward other users.
- There is no obligation to provide a prior warning before an account is permanently banned for severe violations of the zero-tolerance UGC policy.
