Platform terms of use

These terms govern access to the site, use of its features, and the respective responsibilities of users and the publisher. By accessing the service, you fully accept these provisions.

1. User account

  1. Minimum age : You must be at least 13 years old to use the services provided. Registration by anyone below this age is prohibited.
  2. Human registration : Accounts registered by bots or any other automated process are not allowed, except with express publisher approval for dedicated technical uses.
  3. Accuracy of information : You must provide a valid name, email address and any other information requested during registration. This information must remain accurate and up to date.
  4. Personal use : A login identifier may not be shared between several people. Each account is strictly personal and nominative.
  5. Account security : You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential. The publisher cannot be held liable for loss or damage resulting from failure to meet this security obligation.
  6. Responsibility for actions : You are solely responsible for all actions performed from your account, whether by you or by a third party who obtained access to your credentials.
  7. Single account : The same person or legal entity may maintain only one free account. Any abuse will result in immediate suspension of the accounts concerned.

2. User obligations

When using the service, you agree to comply with the following obligations. This list is not exhaustive; users are also expected to act in good faith:

Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction, especially regarding copyright, personal data protection and third-party rights.
Do not publish, transmit or distribute unlawful, defamatory, hateful, misleading, obscene content, content infringing privacy or intellectual property rights.
Do not attempt to compromise service security, availability or integrity: intrusion, reverse engineering, injection or exploitation of vulnerabilities is strictly prohibited.
Do not send unsolicited emails, spam or any other unauthorized mass communication via the platform.
Behave respectfully towards other users and the platform team. Any verbal, physical, written or other abuse towards a user, employee or representative will result in immediate account termination.
Do not generate bandwidth or server resource consumption significantly above the average user. The publisher may restrict or suspend access in case of excessive use.

3. Termination and account deletion

  1. Termination by the user : You may request termination of your account at any time via the security panel of your account.
  2. Deletion and data retention : When termination is requested, the account is deactivated and associated data is kept for a limited period to handle disputes, restore the account on user request and prevent abuse. After this period, personal data is permanently deleted or anonymized. Certain minimal technical elements required for service security may be kept longer to prevent abusive re-registration. Content posted in public or shared spaces may remain visible after account termination unless a specific removal request is submitted, handled within applicable technical and legal limits.
  3. Termination by the publisher : The publisher may suspend or terminate any account at any time in case of violation of these terms, unlawful behaviour, abusive use or any other legitimate reason related to security or proper operation.
  4. Access to data : Subject to legal obligations and security requirements, the user may request access to their data before final deletion. When termination is initiated by the publisher for reasons other than unlawful or abusive behaviour, the publisher may, where possible, provide a copy of the user's data on request.
  5. Security measures and abuse prevention : In case of suspension or ban, certain minimal technical information may be retained to prevent abusive re-registration and protect service integrity. This information is stored securely and used only for security and abuse prevention.

5. Intellectual property and content

  1. Publisher rights : All service elements — design, source code, texts, graphics, trademarks and logos — are protected by applicable intellectual property rights and remain the exclusive property of the publisher or its licensors. Any unauthorized reproduction or use is strictly prohibited.
  2. User content : You retain ownership of content you publish on the platform. By publishing it, you grant the publisher a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use it for operating the service.
  3. Visual and interface elements : You may not reproduce, copy or reuse all or part of the HTML/CSS, JavaScript or visual interface elements without prior written authorization from the publisher.
  4. Content removal : The publisher reserves the right, without obligation, to remove any content deemed unlawful, offensive, threatening, defamatory or contrary to these terms, at its sole discretion and without notice.

7. Community forum

The forum lets you create branches, sub-branches and discussion channels. The following rules apply in addition to general obligations:

Messages are posted under your responsibility. They must comply with the law, others’ privacy and courteous behaviour, including in private or read-only spaces.
Quotas apply to creators: up to 16 branches and 16 channels per account (unless admin override), and a maximum of 5 direct sub-branches per branch.
The publisher and administrators may moderate, restrict or delete content and spaces, and apply sanctions (publication limits, suspension).
Public or shared messages may remain visible after account deletion, within technical and legal limits.
Any abuse (spam, mass scraping, bypassing quotas or access restrictions) is prohibited.

  1. Service provided "as is" : The service is provided "as is" and "as available". The publisher does not guarantee that the service will meet your specific requirements, be uninterrupted, error-free or completely secure.
  2. Third-party providers : The site relies on providers (hosting, email, public APIs, RSS feeds, Ko-fi, Google Maps where applicable). Use may involve transfer of technical data (IP, session identifiers, cookies) to these third parties under their own policies when you interact with them or accept the corresponding loading.
  3. Disclaimer of warranties : To the extent permitted by applicable law, the publisher disclaims all express or implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.
  4. Limitation of liability : The publisher shall not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages resulting from use or inability to use the service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
  5. No waiver : Failure by the publisher to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
  6. Dispute resolution : In case of dispute relating to these terms, the parties agree to seek an amicable resolution before any legal action. Failing agreement, the dispute shall be submitted to the competent courts under applicable law.
  7. Severability : If any clause of these terms is held invalid or unenforceable by a competent court, the remaining clauses remain in full force and shall be interpreted to reflect the parties' original intent.
  8. Applicable law : These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with French law. Any dispute falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the French courts where the publisher is domiciled.
  9. Linked services and sites : SaaS products, applications and other sites published by the editor in connection with MFmWebSite (e.g. MFmTools, MFmGames, CheeseCards) and accessed through a verified technical link (shared account, SSO, subdomain or explicit referral) are governed by default by these terms and this site’s privacy policy, unless their own terms of use or privacy policy state otherwise.
