ARTICLE 5. PERSONAL AREA
5.1 Creation of the personal area
Creating a personal area is an essential prerequisite to participating on the Site as a Member. Creating a personal area allows the Member to interact with other Members from their personal area.
Site Members must be at least 18 years old or meet the age-of-majority conditions set by their state of nationality if they are not French nationals.
To create their personal area, the Internet User will be asked to provide certain Personal Information. Some of this information is deemed essential to creating the personal area. Refusal by an Internet User to provide such information will prevent creation of the personal area.
The Member undertakes that the Personal Information provided when creating their personal area is strictly accurate; Spiitz.com reserves the right to verify said Personal Information before validating the personal area.
When creating the personal area, the Internet User is asked to choose a password. This password guarantees the confidentiality of the information contained in the personal area. The Internet User therefore undertakes not to transmit or disclose it to any third party. Failing this, Spiitz.com cannot be held liable for unauthorized access to an Internet User's personal area.
5.2 Content of the personal area
5.2.1 Ads, chat rooms, comments and public reviews
The Member undertakes to comply with the code of conduct set out in these general terms and conditions, both in their ads and in chat rooms, reviews posted on meeting places, and any content made public on the Site.
Spiitz.com and its moderation team may moderate, without prior notice, statements and content posted by Members, including in chat rooms.
5.2.2 Chat rooms
Spiitz.com provides Internet Users and Members with live chat rooms, which may be public, private, password-protected, or linked to a meeting place listed on the Site.
Messages posted in a chat room are visible to participants in that chat room and, where applicable, to visitors authorized to access it. The Member acknowledges that these exchanges do not benefit from the confidentiality of correspondence applicable to private messaging.
Creation of certain chat rooms (notably private rooms or rooms reserved for Premium Subscribers) may be subject to conditions and to purchasing a Subscription. Spiitz.com reserves the right to close, suspend or moderate any chat room whose content breaches these general terms and conditions.
The content of chat room messages is not guaranteed by Spiitz.com; it is the Member's responsibility not to publish information they would not wish to be shared with other participants. Chat room messages are automatically deleted after 30 calendar days, in accordance with Article 5.3.
5.2.3 Meeting places and reviews
Members may view, suggest or comment on meeting places listed on the Site and post reviews there. Such content is published under the sole responsibility of its author.
Nature of the service: Spiitz.com is only a listing and community information exchange platform. Spiitz.com does not own, operate, manage, control or monitor any place listed on the Site, does not systematically verify the information published there, and does not organize meetings on site.
Accuracy of information: descriptions, contact details, categories, opening hours, attendance levels, photos, reviews and any other information displayed regarding a place come from Members or community sources. They are provided for guidance purposes only, without any guarantee of accuracy, completeness, timeliness or reliability. Spiitz.com cannot be held liable for inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, misleading or erroneous information regarding a place (including its location, accessibility, legality or availability), whether published by a Member or modified by the community, except in case of gross negligence or breach of a specific legal obligation attributable to Spiitz.com.
Meetings and events on site: any visit or meeting at a place listed on the Site takes place under the sole and entire responsibility of the persons concerned. Spiitz.com does not intervene in the organization, conduct or safety of such meetings. Consequently, Spiitz.com cannot be held liable, within the limits permitted by law, for acts, behavior, damage, theft, assault, accidents, disturbances, offenses, disputes or any other event occurring at a listed place or in connection with a meeting facilitated by the Site, whether such place is public, private, open or closed, and whether or not it meets the Member's expectations.
Member caution: each Member must exercise judgement, verify by their own means the situation of the place (local regulations, authorized access, safety conditions, third-party consent, etc.), and visit only with full awareness of the risks. Spiitz.com recommends that Members prioritize their safety and report any content or place that is clearly unlawful or dangerous.
Spiitz.com does not guarantee the accuracy, availability or legality of places listed by Members. It reserves the right to remove or moderate any place or review reported as contrary to these general terms and conditions or to the law.
5.2.4 Internal messaging and private multimedia content
Spiitz.com provides Members with an internal private messaging service allowing exchange of text messages and, depending on features available on the Site, voice messages and videos. Confidentiality of correspondence applies within private messaging.
Messaging access and traffic: depending on period and Site load, private messaging may be accessible free of charge to registered Members, or partially/totally reserved for paying Subscribers (notably Premium). Spiitz.com reserves the right to change at any time the access conditions to private messaging (sending, receiving, number of conversations, authorized media types), in particular based on traffic levels, technical constraints, moderation, or service quality. Any substantial change will be brought to Members' attention by notification on the Site, upon login, or by updating these general terms and conditions.
Inbox and sent-box content (texts, voice messages, videos) is retained for a maximum period of 30 calendar days from sending or receipt, in accordance with Article 5.3. After this period, it is automatically and permanently deleted. It is the Member's responsibility to save content they wish to keep. Automatic deletion or loss of such content, whatever the cause, cannot constitute damage to the Member, who may not claim any compensation on this basis.
The Member undertakes to send through private messaging only content for which they hold rights or authorization, compliant with the code of conduct and applicable law. Any unlawful content may result in deletion of the message, suspension of the account and, where applicable, transmission to competent authorities.
5.2.5 Private photos and albums
Members may create a private photo gallery and organize albums with restricted visibility. Access to this content is controlled by the Member, in particular through privacy settings and permissions granted to other Members.
Private photos are not intended to be publicly distributed on the Site, except by express decision of the Member or through a feature voluntarily activated by the Member. Spiitz.com implements technical measures intended to limit unauthorized access, without however guaranteeing absolute confidentiality: the Member acknowledges that an authorized recipient could, by means external to the Site (screenshot, recording, copy), retain or redistribute content. Spiitz.com cannot be held liable for such abusive use by a third party, subject to Spiitz.com's legal obligations.
Spiitz.com reserves the right to remove any private content reported as unlawful or contrary to these general terms and conditions, including in case of report by a Member or by a competent authority. Private photos and albums are retained as long as the Member does not delete them and their account remains active, in accordance with Article 5.3.
5.2.6 Voice messages and videos
Spiitz.com may offer sending of voice messages and videos in private messaging, chat rooms, or via other Services, depending on features activated on the Site at a given time. Such content is subject to the same retention rules as text messages in private messaging and chat rooms (Article 5.3).
The Member shall in particular refrain from sending unlawful, non-consensual, secretly recorded voice messages or videos, or content infringing privacy, image rights, or third-party rights. Spiitz.com may limit the duration, size or format of accepted multimedia files.
Video features may be rolled out progressively; their availability may vary depending on account type, device used, or Site updates.
5.2.7 Creation of a public profile
Members have the option of creating a public profile on the Site. In this context, Members may provide certain Personal Information about themselves. It is expressly understood that by completing the form related to their public profile, the Member acknowledges that this data may be published on the Site and disseminated to Internet Users accordingly. The mere act of providing this information and completing the fields in the public profile creation form constitutes express manifestation of the Member's willingness to publish such information on the Site.
Members may stop the dissemination of their public profile. To do so, they must follow the procedure provided for this purpose. Suspension of dissemination of the public profile will be effective within a maximum period of 7 working days from receipt of the request by Spiitz.com.
5.2.8 Geolocation
With explicit consent, the Member may activate a geolocation feature allowing display of approximate position or search for other Members nearby. This feature is optional and may be disabled at any time from account settings.
5.2.9 Deletion of personal area
Spiitz.com and freely selected moderators reserve the right to delete the account of any Member who breaches these general terms and conditions, notably where the Member provides inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or fraudulent information, as well as where a Member's personal area has been inactive for at least one year. Such deletion cannot constitute a fault by Spiitz.com or damage for the excluded Member, who may not claim any compensation on this basis.
This exclusion is without prejudice to Spiitz.com's possibility of undertaking legal proceedings against the Member where justified by the facts.
5.2.10 Ad Boosts
Spiitz.com offers a paid Ad Boost option, separate from Subscriptions, allowing temporary enhancement of visibility of an ad posted on the Site. Subject to features then available, the Boost is intended notably to place the ad at the top of lists and searches displayed to Members located near the geographic area associated with the ad, and to display a highlighted badge on the map and ad page.
Order and beneficiary: the Boost may be purchased by the Member who authored the ad or, where applicable, by another Member wishing to offer temporary visibility for that ad. The Member validating payment accepts the displayed price before confirmation.
Duration and effect: unless otherwise stated at checkout, the Boost is activated for a period of 24 hours from payment confirmation by Spiitz.com. At the end of this period, the ad returns to its usual ranking and presentation, with no tacit renewal or automatic renewal.
Technical and geographic limits: the number of simultaneously active Boosts may be limited by geographic area to avoid saturation of highlighted placements. If the limit is reached, purchase may be refused or postponed; Spiitz.com informs the Member on the checkout interface.
Price: the Boost price is displayed in euros including all taxes on the checkout screen at the time of payment. It may vary depending on demand in the relevant area (dynamic pricing). The applicable price is the one confirmed by the Member before payment (see Article 7.1).
Results and commercial communication: visibility, views, contacts or response probability indications (including percentages or multipliers that may be displayed on the Site) are indicative estimates for commercial purposes. Spiitz.com does not guarantee a minimum number of views, clicks, messages or meetings, nor any specific result. The Boost constitutes a technical and graphical highlighting service performed under an obligation of means.
Ad content: the Boost does not exempt the Member from compliance with these general terms and conditions and the code of conduct. Spiitz.com reserves the right to remove or interrupt a Boost, without refund, if the related ad is unlawful, reported, moderated or deleted.
5.3 Retention and automatic deletion of content
To limit risks related to data retention and to ensure a service compliant with the minimization principle, Spiitz.com applies an automatic deletion policy after 30 calendar days for the following content, counted from the date of sending, publication or posting on the Site:
- private messages (text, voice messages, videos and associated attachments in messaging);
- messages posted in chat rooms.
This deletion is automatic, permanent and irreversible. Spiitz.com is under no obligation to restore, archive or back up such content beyond the 30-day period.
The following content is not subject to this 30-day period and remains available as long as the Member does not delete it and their account remains active: profile photo, private photos and albums, public gallery, ads, place reviews and account information.
Spiitz.com may retain certain elements beyond 30 days where required by law (judicial proceedings, reports, anti-fraud measures) or for technical security logs, within strictly necessary limits.
The Member acknowledges being informed of this policy and waives any claim against Spiitz.com resulting from automatic deletion of content upon expiry of the 30-day period.
5.4 Deletion of account by the Member
The Member may request deletion of their account from the "Edit my account" section. The request causes immediate deactivation of the account (profile hidden, inability to use Services).
Permanent deletion of personal data is scheduled after a 7-calendar-day grace period, during which the Member may cancel the request by logging back in with their credentials.
At the end of this period, Spiitz.com anonymizes or deletes identifiable data (username, email, profile, associated content), subject to legal retention obligations (in particular accounting evidence, security, litigation) for a maximum period of 6 months.
Spiitz.com cannot be held liable for loss of content linked to deletion requested by the Member or expiry of retention periods provided by these general terms and conditions.
