Terms of Use During Beta Phase and Free Use Policy

Last update: June 10, 2025
VERSION: 1.0.0

1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This document governs the terms of use of the Demokratian platform during its public beta phase, as well as the applicable policies regarding the free nature of the service, limitation of liability, and the potential transition to paid models.
Demokratian offers its services to the public experimentally with the aim of receiving feedback, evaluating system performance, and validating new features before a possible commercial launch.
These terms apply to all users, including owners of customized platforms (under demokratian.net subdomains) and partner organizations.

2. FREE SERVICE DURING BETA PHASE
During the beta phase, all services are free of charge. This includes use by:

  • Non-profit entities (NGOs, associations, collectives).

  • Individual users or groups conducting tests for legitimate, non-commercial purposes.

  • Platforms with a limited number of voters.

Use of the service in this phase does not guarantee availability or continuous support and is carried out under the sole responsibility of the user.

3. LIMITATIONS AND INTENDED USE
Demokratian may limit, without prior notice:

  • The number of platforms, voting processes, or active users.

  • Access to specific features, especially if usage exceeds what is reasonable for testing or validation purposes.

It also reserves the right to deny use for activities contrary to its foundational principles, the law, or the general interest of the project.

4. TRANSITION TO PAID MODEL AND ADVERTISING
Demokratian reserves the right to introduce paid plans in the future, including:

  • Periodic subscriptions.

  • Pay-per-use or per number of voters.

  • Access to advanced features.

  • Advertisement integration.

In any case:

  • Reasonable prior notice will be given to registered users.

  • Basic free features will be maintained for small-scale voting or non-profit entities, upon request and approval.

  • Free platforms may include integrated advertising as a way to cover costs.

Continued use of the service after such changes will imply acceptance of the new conditions.

5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
Given the experimental nature of the service:

  • Continuous availability or technical stability is not guaranteed.

  • The system may experience errors, interruptions, or data loss.

  • Features may change without prior notice.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Use of the system is the sole responsibility of the user. In particular, Demokratian:

  • Is not responsible for how Platform Owners use their personalized spaces.

  • Assumes no responsibility for managed data, decisions made, voting outcomes, or content entered by third parties.

  • Will not be liable for losses, errors, or malfunctions in processes conducted on the platform.

7. CONSENT AND MODIFICATIONS
Continued use of the service implies acceptance of the terms in force at any given time. Updated versions will be published on the official website indicating their effective date.
If the user disagrees with future modifications, they must cease using the service before the changes take effect.
