Terms of Service
1. Publisher of the website
In accordance with Article 6-III of the French Act n° 2004-575 of 21 June 2004 on confidence in the digital economy (LCEN):
Publisher: Zektyc, France (natural person, not registered with the commercial and companies register nor the trades register).
Address: in line with our commitment to privacy, the publisher's postal address is not published online and is never disclosed for informational purposes. It is provided — exclusively by e-mail, at the sole address riric65@protonmail.com — only where a legal basis requires it (a legal or regulatory obligation, a judicial authority or a duly justified official procedure). No other request for information, regardless of its origin, including from a French administration or a European institution acting outside that framework, gives entitlement to it: the address is never disclosed on a mere “just curious” request.
Contact: riric65@protonmail.com
Hosting: the website is hosted in France, on infrastructure owned and operated by the publisher. No data is stored outside the European Union.
2. Purpose and scope
These Terms of Service (the “ToS”) govern access to the website available at zektyc.duckdns.org and its content. By accessing or using the website, you unreservedly accept these ToS. If you do not accept them, you must stop using the website.
3. Access to the website
Access to the website is free of charge. The website provides general information about privacy protection and security. This information does not constitute legal advice, personalised technical advice, or an offer of services. The publisher reserves the right to interrupt access to the website at any time, in particular for maintenance, without prior notice or right to compensation.
4. Intellectual property
The website, its structure, its texts, its visual identity (name, logo, graphic charter) and, more generally, all the elements composing it are the exclusive property of the publisher or their authors, and are protected by intellectual property law.
Any reproduction, representation, modification, publication, adaptation or exploitation, in whole or in part, of these elements, by any means whatsoever, without the publisher's prior written consent, is prohibited and constitutes infringement. Quotation with clear attribution of source is permitted within the limits of French intellectual property law.
5. User conduct
When using the website, you agree not to:
- attempt to compromise the security or integrity of the website (unauthorised access, intrusion, penetration testing, exploitation of vulnerabilities);
- disrupt or attempt to disrupt the functioning of the website, including through automated requests, bulk downloads or attempts to overwhelm it;
- extract or collect the website's content in an automated manner;
- use the website for unlawful or fraudulent purposes.
Any such attempt may result in technical blocking and legal proceedings.
6. Responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities
The publisher, whose activity relates to security and privacy, considers the reporting of vulnerabilities a useful and legitimate act. A person who identifies a vulnerability affecting the website may report it to riric65@protonmail.com; such a report, made in compliance with the conditions below, does not constitute a breach of Section 5. Conditions:
- not exploit the vulnerability to obtain unauthorised access or to alter the service beyond what is strictly necessary to demonstrate it;
- not access or expose other users' data;
- report the vulnerability within a reasonable time after its discovery;
- provide sufficient information to allow the problem to be reproduced and fixed.
Grace period. Unless otherwise agreed, the reporter refrains from any public disclosure for a period of ninety (90) calendar days from confirmation of receipt of the report. Upon expiry of this period, if the vulnerability has not been fixed, the reporter may disclose it publicly within the limits strictly necessary to describe the problem, without exposing or exploiting users' data. The publisher may notify a reasonable additional period, duly justified (complex fix, third-party dependency), which then suspends disclosure for its duration.
The publisher undertakes to acknowledge receipt of the report within a reasonable time and to inform the reporter of the follow-up. The official policy is available at /.well-known/security.txt (RFC 9116).
7. Official requests, evidence and verification of authority
As a matter of principle, no information is disclosed on the sole basis of a request, whatever its origin. Any request for information, communication or disclosure must be based on a justified legal framework and supported by concrete, documented evidence (a judicial decision, an administrative act, a precise and applicable legal reference). An unsubstantiated suspicion, mere curiosity or a reason devoid of legal basis does not, in any case, constitute a valid ground for disclosure.
Any person claiming to act on behalf of a public authority (government, French or European administration, supervisory or prosecuting authority) must, before any disclosure, imperatively prove their identity and the exact scope of their powers: identifiable and verifiable official documents, reference numbers, an act or decision justifying the request within a legal framework. The publisher reserves the right to verify such authority by any reasonable means and to refuse any disclosure until this proof is provided.
These requirements also apply to requests presented as urgent or confidential, with no exception related to the requester's declared status.
8. Liability
The website is provided “as is”. The publisher strives to ensure the accuracy of the published information and the availability of the website, without however guaranteeing the absence of errors, interruptions or viruses. The publisher shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damage resulting from the use of the website or the inability to access it.
These limitations do not apply where the applicable law (in particular consumer protection law) prohibits them, and shall in no case deprive consumers of the rights conferred on them by mandatory provisions.
9. Hyperlinks
The website may contain links to third-party websites. These links are provided for your convenience. The publisher exercises no control over these websites, does not guarantee their content or privacy policy, and declines all responsibility in respect of them. Linking to the website is permitted provided it does not involve misleading or misrepresentative presentation.
10. Changes to the ToS
The publisher may amend these ToS at any time. The applicable version is the one online at the time you access the website. The date of the last update appears at the top of this document. If you continue to use the website after a new version is published, you are deemed to have accepted it.
11. Governing law and jurisdiction
These ToS are governed by French law.
By default, the publisher does not physically appear before a court: exchanges relating to any dispute take place in writing and remotely (e-mail, written procedure, online mediation), systematically favouring amicable resolution. This position does not deprive consumers of their mandatory rights, in particular the right to bring their claim before the competent court in accordance with applicable law.
Unless an amicable settlement is reached, any dispute relating to the use of the website shall be brought before the competent French courts. For consumers, the competent court is that of their place of domicile (Regulation (EU) n° 1215/2012, Article 7(1)).
12. Online dispute resolution
Pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EU) n° 524/2013, consumers residing in the European Union may use the European online dispute resolution platform, available at: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
13. General provisions
Severability
If any clause of these ToS were held null, void or unenforceable by a competent court, the other clauses would remain fully applicable. The clause concerned would then be interpreted, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in the manner closest to the parties' intention.
No waiver
The fact that the publisher does not exercise or delays exercising a right provided for in these ToS shall in no case constitute a waiver of that right, nor an abandonment of it, whether on a one-off or repeated basis.
Reference language
These ToS are drafted in the French language, which is the only binding version. Any translation, in whatever language, is provided as a courtesy only and has no legal value. In the event of any discrepancy or contradiction between the versions, the French version shall prevail.
14. Contact
