An Introduction to the Terms and Conditions / Terms of Use of Vottelo

Welcome to Vottelo! This is a brief summary of the key points in our Terms and Conditions / Terms of Use:

  • We consider it important to give the people a voice. Vottelo offers its users a platform where they can ask closed questions which can only be answered with "yes" or "no". In this way you can easily obtain an opinion from all other users who have answered the question. In this way, Vottelo helps people voice their concerns. Likewise, it can be a tool in politics to ask for opinions from voters on a particular topic and to act accordingly. Vottelo can also be thought of as a kind of democratic tool or aid.

  • You own the content you publish; at the same time, you grant us and the other users of Vottelo certain rights and the license to use it. The details of these licenses are set out below in Section 3(c).

  • You are responsible for the content you publish. This includes ensuring that you have the necessary rights to publish this content and that your content does not infringe the rights of third parties (for example, defamation) or any other applicable law.

  • You may republish Vottelo content elsewhere, provided that you refer to Vottelo's content and respect the rights of the original author, including the „Not for Duplication“ label.

  • We do not approve or verify the content posted by users. Our contents and materials are available to you „in original version“ and without any guarantee. You are solely responsible for your own use of the Vottelo Platform.

  • You agree to comply with the rules and guidelines of our platform. If you use Vottelo, you agree to our privacy policy and grant your consent.

    There are several ways for you to give us feedback and submit complaints. If you believe that someone has violated your intellectual property rights, violated other laws, or violated Vottelo's policies, you can submit a report to contact@eydeer.com or submit a report on a question. For each question there is a "Report" button.
