d2mondo Terms of use
In essence
We have developed this service so that you can build and maintain high
quality digital properties from a central hub. The basic service is
free, and we also offer a range of premium services. d2mondo combines a
Web CMS with site build tools, eCommerce, social media, social network
integration, and reporting tools, so that you have a high degree of
independence, creative freedom, and a highly efficient digital resource
for realising an effective digital strategy. However, be responsible in
what you publish. In particular, make sure that none of the prohibited
items listed below appear on your site or get linked to from your site
(things like spam, viruses, or hate content).
Also, as you can open a shop and sell direct to your customers though
the d2mondo platform, please remember that your customers are your
responsibility, and we advise that you treat them in the manner in which
you would like to be treated when entering into a commercial
transaction with a supplier, that is to say, with transparency,
openness, respect, fairness, honesty and care. At d2mondo we take a very
dim view of poor retail practices, scammers, moochers, looters and
con-artists; they are not welcome.
If you find a d2mondo site that you believe violates our terms of
service or in any way breaches good and decent conduct, please contact
us via http://www.d2mondo.com/contact or use the email link
info@d2mondo.com.

16. Community: your terms of use for your community
The d2mondo Service allows you to create a social network or Web
community or fan-base (community), whereby your visitors can register
with your Property and create their own personal profile, with a view to
communicating with other registered members, and at times to provide
comments via blogs, news, forum, and other content, that you deem can be
made available, through the Service settings, available for comments,
and at a future time, possible additional synchronous and asynchronous
communication modes.
It is your responsibility to manage the community, to police usage, and
to resolve any disputes which may occur between community members and
yourself that you feel may have a deleterious effect on the Property you
manage, and the codes and protocols that you see fit. It is also your
responsibility to respect and protect the privacy and data of your
community members, and any registered or opt-in members.
d2mondo cannot police the content posted across the entire service
platform, and will not be held responsible for content posted on your
Property, or for interactions between your community members. In
accepting this agreement you warrant that all content posted on your
Property is your responsibility, and d2mondo will therefore treat the
community content, also commonly known as user-generated c content,
under the term ‘Content’, as defined elsewhere in this agreement.
To this end d2mondo strongly advises that you offer community members,
at the point of registration or opt-in, a compulsory set of a terms of
use, requiring acceptance on their behalf, that clearly define both
yours and their responsibilities, and include definitions of proper and
improper use, disclaimers and obligations, legal and moral.
If you do not intend to protect the privacy of your community members,
nor take responsibility for their actions and postings on your Property,
nor protect the copyright of others, and if you cannot create a
disclaimer, then d2mondo advises that you do not open up your Property
for community use, which would require you to refrain from using the
d2mondo forum function, nor allow the creation of user-profiles, any
form of user-to-user communication, nor allow users to add comments to
any of the published content on your Property.
It is also your responsibility to prevent the posting of hateful,
bigoted, racist, pornographic, libelous or otherwise defamatory content
within your Property, and to prevent bullying, harassment, illegal
activities and promotion of illegal activities, or to allow your
community members to extract personal details from other members and
visitors that may be used for illicit or unlawful purposes.
The examples of improper use cited here are not exhaustive, and d2mondo
strongly advises you to research this area and put a set of terms in
place, compliant with fair use, good sense and the laws of your country
or state or local laws and international law. d2mondo cannot offer the
creation of your terms as a service and is not responsible for the terms
that you do offer to your community.
17.d2mondo branding and ad placement
You may not remove, changes, alter or obscure, in any way, the d2mondo
logo that appears on the footer of your property, without prior, written
permission from an executive of d2mondo. Any attempt to do so will be
viewed as a breaking of this agreement on your part.
Similarly, you may not remove, changes, alter or obscure, in any way the
advertising banners that d2mondo may, from time to time, display on
your property or within the platform, and any attempt to do so will be
viewed as a breach of this agreement. The logos, banners and other ads
that appear on your property can only lawfully be removed by the
purchase of particular Premium licenses, or with written permission from
an executive of d2mondo.

customers, we therefore strongly advise that you create some form of
‘terms and conditions of sale’, sales information, customer support

d2mondo Service that you are using, or parts of the Service, until such
time we feel the matter has been resolved, which will be entirely at

or explanations or reimbursement of any payments made to d2mondo by

service. If you cannot agree to these terms then you should not use the
d2mondo platform to trade, sell or even provide for free, goods or
services. Furthermore, by accepting this agreement you hereby indemnify
d2mondo, its employees, shareholders, partners and suppliers, against
any actions, suits, damages, and claims that arise out of you trading
using the d2mondo platform.

representative of an organisation, the number of sites you are allowed
to create and the media storage space you are allocated, are dependent
on the license type your sign-up for. License types vary from the
free-to-use ‘Basic’ license, to a range of Premium paid-for single- and
multi-site licenses. Please visit the d2mondo site at d2mondo.com/Plans
for an up-to-date record of all service plans and service costs. The
Basic license allows you a single (one) site, and is free-to-use, within
the limits of fair-usage. Fair usage also applies to paid-for licensed
services. Fair-usage is, at all time and under all conditions and
situations to be determined wholly by d2mondo.
