Effective Date: 7 February 2019

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) governs all websites and digital applications (“Sites”) that link to, or contain references to, this document and are published or made available by Adme, its subsidiaries and its affiliates. “Adme”, “we”, “us” or “our” means the entity operating the services (“Services”), which is ADME (CY) LTD, a limited company organised under the laws of Cyprus, located at office 101, 62 Agiou Athanasiou Avenue, Limassol, 4102, Cyprus. The person using our Sites and Services (“Services”) is referred to "user", “you” and “your”.

By using our Services, you are entering into an agreement with Adme and agree with the Terms that follow.

1. Use of Services

You must follow these Terms and any policies made available to you within the Services. We may suspend or stop providing our Services to you if you do not comply with our terms or policies or if we are investigating suspected misconduct.

Using our Services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in our Services or the content you access. You may not use content from our Services unless you obtain permission from its owner or are otherwise permitted by law. These terms do not grant you the right to use any branding or logos used in our Services. Do not remove, obscure or alter any legal notices displayed in or along with our Services.

In using our Services, you agree to access, view and use the content solely for your personal, non-commercial use. No part of the content may be downloaded, copied, reproduced, republished (including by means of re-posting on other websites or mobile applications), transmitted, stored, sold or distributed without the prior written consent of the owner or otherwise permitted by law. This excludes the downloading, copying or printing of pages of the Sites for personal, non-commercial home use.

Our Services may display content that does not belong to Adme. This content is the sole responsibility of the entity that makes it available. We may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law.

In connection with your use of the Services, we may send you service announcements, administrative User Content, and other information.

2. Privacy and Cookies

We are committed to protecting your privacy. We collect and process your personal data according to our Privacy Policy

By visiting our website with cookies enabled and accepting cookies via our cookie consent tool you agree to the use of cookies as explained in the Cookies Policy

3. Linked Sites

Our Sites may provide or embed links from other internet websites, digital applications, social media platforms and other online sources (“External Links”). We do not monitor or review the content of External Links which are linked to or from the Sites. Opinions expressed or material appearing on such External Links are not necessarily shared or endorsed by us and we should not be regarded as the publisher of such opinions or material. We are not liable for the content or the privacy practices of External Links. Our Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy does not apply to any collection and processing of your personal data on or through such External Links.

4. Registration, Passwords and Responsibilities

You are responsible for keeping your information and passwords up to date and confidential.

Certain areas or features of the Sites may only be open to registered users, including, but not limited to like, comment or report function. As an unregistered user, you will be able to access our content, but with limited functionality.

Adme reserves the right to amend or vary the content available to registered users. In addition, and if you allow us to when registering your details as a registered user, we will contact you from time to time in accordance with your preferences.

You are solely responsible for the confidentiality and use of access to Sites by using your user name and password. You agree to immediately inform us if you become aware of the loss, theft or unauthorised use of any password, user ID or e-mail address. You will provide Adme with accurate, complete registration information and inform Adme of any changes to such information.

For the purpose of confirming your compliance with these Terms, we reserve the right to monitor and record activity on the Sites, including access to our content.

Each registration is only for the personal use of the registered user. You may not share your log-in details or password with any other person. Adme does not allow multiple users (networked or otherwise) to access the Sites through a single name and password.

If you are in breach of any of these Terms, we may suspend your access or cancel your registration to the Sites, without further obligation to you.

5. Third Party Applications and Devices

Our Services are integrated with or may otherwise interact with third party applications, websites, and other services (“Third Party Applications”), and third party devices to make the Services available to you. These Third Party Applications and third party devices may have their own terms of service and privacy policies and their use will be governed by and subject to such terms of service and privacy policies.

You understand and agree that Adme does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for the behaviour, features, or content of any Third Party Application or third party device or for any transaction you may enter into with their provider, nor does Adme warrant the compatibility or continuing compatibility of the Third Party Applications and third party devices with the Services.

6. User-Created Content

You are responsible for all content you post. Our Sites may include comments capability, bulletin boards, discussion groups and other public areas or features that allow feedback to us and interaction between users and our representatives. Users may post, upload, or otherwise contribute content to the Sites through the Services (which may include, for example, text, pictures, links and/or other types of content) (“User Content”).

While we do not control the User Content posted to the Sites, we reserve the right (which we may exercise at our sole discretion without notice) to delete, move or edit any User Content.

7. User Guidelines

Adme respects intellectual property rights and expects you to do the same. You must follow the rules described below and should encourage other users to do the same. The following is not permitted for any reason whatsoever:

copying, redistributing, reproducing, recording, transferring, performing or displaying to the public, broadcasting, making available to the public or any other use which otherwise infringes the intellectual property rights (such as copyright) of any part of our content or the Services;
making any use of our content or the Services which is not expressly permitted under the Terms or applicable law;
circumventing any technology used by Adme, its licensors, or any third party to protect our content or the Services;

providing your password to any other person or using any other person’s username and password;
Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent any affiliation with any person or entity;
Collect or store other users' personal data;
Restrict or inhibit any other user from using the Sites.

You are solely responsible for your User Content. You must comply with any rules posted by us on the Sites or otherwise made available to you. You may NOT engage in any activity, post any User Content, link or register a username, which is or includes material that:
is discriminatory, obscene, racist, homophobic or sexist or that contains any form of hate speech or is mean-spirited oriented;
is illegal, libellous, defamatory or may prejudice ongoing legal proceedings or breach a court injunction or other order;
constitute inflammatory religious commentary or inaccurate or misleading quotations of religious texts.
encourage violence, are abusive, threatening or make any form of personal attack on another user or on our employees;

By submitting User Content to the Sites, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Adme from all claims, costs and expenses (including legal expenses) arising out of any User Content posted or published by you that are in breach of this section.

Adme has no control over individuals posting User Content on any Sites. Adme cannot guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of any User Content. Some users may breach these Terms and post User Content that are misleading, untrue or offensive. You must bear all risk associated with your use of the Sites and should not rely on User Content when you make (or refrain from making) any specific investment or other decision.

8. Report of User-Created Content

It is not possible for Adme to fully and effectively monitor User Content infringement of third-party rights. We rely on our users to report content that they find inappropriate.

If you believe that any content infringes your legal rights or violates these Terms, you should use the reporting tool available in the comments section. Through this tool, you can filter content, report an abuse or block an abusive user. If you block a user, then the website or app, will hide all of the comments posted by the blocked user. These comments will be hidden only from your view, while other user may view them.

When something is reported, it's not automatically taken down. Our staff will review the content and, where reasonably possible, will take a decision in one working day (24 hours). If no violations are found by our review team, no amount of reporting will change that, and the content will remain on our Sites. Repeated misuse of the report function may result result in your access to the Sites being terminated.

Adme may, but has no obligation to, monitor, review, or edit User Content. In all cases, Adme reserves the right to remove or disable access to any User Content for any or no reason, including User Content that, in Adme’s sole discretion, violates the Terms. Adme may take these actions without prior notification to you or any third party. Removal or disabling of access to User Content shall be at our sole discretion, and we do not promise to remove or disable access to any specific User Content.

If the reporting process does not accurately capture your issue, you can always contact Adme via the contact form.

12.1 Changes to the Terms

Adme reserves the right to change these conditions from time to time as it sees fit and your continued use of the site will signify your acceptance of any adjustment to these terms.

Any party affected by such event shall forthwith inform the other party of the same and shall use all reasonable endeavours to comply with the Terms.

12.4 No Waiver

Any delay or failure by either party in exercising any right arising under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right.
