You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

Verification of company affiliation: The SpeakUp platform has the right to request confirmation from users of their affiliation with the company indicated in their profile and temporarily suspend or delete their account if such confirmation is not provided. Corporate email addresses, links to company websites, or other evidence-based methods may be required for confirmation.

User Content License: By posting any content (profile description, photos, materials, etc.) on SpeakUp, the user grants the platform a non-exclusive, perpetual, and worldwide license to use this content as part of the service. This license allows the platform to store, reproduce, publish and modify user materials solely for the purpose of providing the functions of the service and promoting it, without paying remuneration to the author.

Rules of conduct and content removal: In addition to the provisions already mentioned (false information, insults, spam, impersonation), it is prohibited to post illegal content, incite hatred, violate copyrights, disclose confidential information of others and any other actions infringing on the rights of third parties. The Platform has the right to remove or block any content that violates these rules or legal requirements without prior notice. It is also worth noting that repeated or gross violations of the rules can lead to the immediate blocking of the account without warning.

3. Data and Privacy

Your use of the Service is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at delete-account-data@speak-up.pro.

Data accuracy and user responsibility: The user undertakes to provide reliable and up-to-date information about himself in the profile and update it as necessary.

Registration or use of an account by another person is permitted only if there is proper legal authority documented (for example, power of attorney or contract). Creation of an account with intentionally incorrect data or for an unauthorized person without permission is a breach of the terms and conditions of use and may lead to account blocking.

This use can occur both within the service and outside it, for example on third-party sites and platforms, including Google Ads advertising services and social networks, in order to promote the service, speakers, attract event organizers, and increase the number of responses. At the same time, the platform has the right to use profile data, with or without a username, without requesting additional consent, and without paying any compensation to the user.

6. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any behavior that we consider harmful, illegal, or a violation of these Terms.

Account blocking based on complaints: SpeakUp reserves the right to block a user’s account (temporarily or permanently) if it receives reasonable complaints from other users about their behavior. Such complaints include, but are not limited to, dissemination of false or misleading information, insults, spam emails, impersonations, or other violations of community rules. After reviewing and recognizing the complaint as justified, the platform may take the necessary measures, including deletion of the account, to address the violation.
