Terms of Use and Privacy Policy

By using the website https://e-me4all.eu/, including web crawling, caching services, and any other provided services, you are acknowledging and accepting without reservation the terms of use described here.

Users

The website https://e-me4all.eu/ hosts the European edition of the e-me Digital Educational Platform, known as “e-me European”. This version is multilingual, open to all, and available to a wide audience, including educators, students, parents, academics, institutions, and anyone interested in Europe or internationally.

In the European edition of e-me, anyone can create an account through a simple registration process. For this reason, users of the “e-me, European Edition” service are urged to exercise caution in the following situations:

• When accepting friend requests from other users, especially those they do not personally know.
• When accepting requests from other users to participate in Hives they manage.
• During communication with other users (via personal messages, posts/comments in Hives, etc.).
• If any user requests their personal information (full name, email, password, etc.).
• When posting content, especially when sharing files, whether in their own file space or within a Hive.

Each user is permitted a single login account for the above service. Login credentials (i.e., username and password) must not be shared with third parties.

Legal Use

The use of the "e-me, European Edition" service must be exclusively for lawful purposes, in strict adherence to the terms outlined herein. Each user must refrain from engaging in actions or omissions that could disrupt its operation and negatively impact or jeopardize the provision of services to fellow users.

Users are expected to abstain from publishing material (text, images, photos, videos, wall posts, comments, etc.) that may be deemed illegal, threatening, harmful, slanderous, insulting, defamatory, offensive, pornographic, blasphemous, annoying, vulgar, or indecent. Users should also avoid posting any content that could constitute or encourage illegal or criminal behavior, violate the privacy of others, express racial, ethnic, or other forms of discrimination.

If users encounter such objectionable material, they are urged to promptly notify the administrators of the "e-me, European Edition" service. Administrators will then take requisite measures, including the removal of the offending content and the suspension of the user's account responsible for its posting.

Furthermore, in cases where user behavior or actions are reported by other users or come to the attention of administrators, and such behavior or actions contravene the rules governing the proper use of the "e-me, European Edition" service (e.g., engaging in threatening or offensive behavior towards other users, attempting deception, misusing storage space, creating fraudulent accounts, etc.), the user's account will be deactivated, and the posted material will be deleted without prior notice.

Terms for proper use of student Hives on "e-me, European Edition"

Each student is required to accept the following terms of use when creating a Hive within the "e-me, European Edition":

• I have informed my parent/guardian or a school educator about the Hive I am creating.
• The title and description of my Hive do not contain inappropriate, unsuitable, or offensive words.
• I will not send invitations to join my Hive to individuals I do not know personally.
• If I wish to send invitations to individuals I do not know personally, I will first consider whether the invitation may bother them. If in doubt, I will seek the consent of my parent/guardian or a school educator.
• I will respect other members! I will not share on the Hive’s wall or in the Hive’s shared files any photos or videos with inappropriate or offensive content.
• I am responsible for the Hive I create! Therefore:
  • I will regularly check the Hive’s shared files, wall posts, and comments for any offensive or inappropriate content.
  • If I come across posts or comments with offensive content, I will delete them immediately or politely request the member who made the post or comment to delete it.
  • If a member consistently offends other members, I will remove them, delete the material they uploaded to the Hive’s shared files, and delete comments from the Hive’s wall.
• I will convey these rules of good behavior to the Hive members to ensure mutual respect.
• I understand that if I fail to comply with one or more of the above rules or if my behavior offends other members, the service administrators may, after informing me first, deactivate my Hive, thereby denying me access.
