The European Institute of the Mediterranean (hereafter, the IEMed) informs you that the access and use of the website and all the subdomains or directories therein, as well as the services or the contents that may be obtained through it, are subject to the terms and conditions detailed in this Legal Notice, notwithstanding that access to some of these services or contents may require acceptance of some additional general conditions.
Thus, if you do not agree with the considerations detailed in this Legal Notice, please do not use the website because any use of it or its services and contents will involve the acceptance of the legal terms and conditions included in this text. The terms and conditions included in the present Notice can vary and, therefore, we invite you to revise them when you visit the website again.
The IEMed reserves the right, at any moment and without prior notice to the users, to modify, expand or temporarily cancel the presentation, configuration, technical specifications and services of the website, as well as to make changes with the aim of updating, correcting, modifying, adding or removing the contents of the website or its design. The contents and services of the website are periodically updated. Given that the process of updating information is not immediate, we recommend that you always check the validity and the exactitude of the services and contents included on the website.
The website is dedicated to building a wide network among equality actors in the Euro-Mediterranean region, exchanging information on gender and women’s rights in the public domain, concretely in the Documentary Centre (such as, documents, resources and shared practices), promoting the work of the Foundation (through publications, news and events), as well as disseminating projects supported by the Foundation.
The website also offers an Intranet’s service designed to bring together six Networks: associations, research and training, Media, local and regional authorities, ministerial departments as well as enterprises and unions, working for gender equality and women’s rights. Accordingly, this private space offers to the members of the Network of Networks of the Foundation the opportunity to publish, exchange and share information (such as documents, shared practices, calls and opportunities, news and events), to create group discussions, to comment and to find potential professional collaborations.
The Intranet of the Foundation is available for free to all members of its Network of Networks with Internet access. All costs related to Internet’s use remain responsibility of the users. However, the use of services and features of the Intranet requires creating an account, and providing information to identify the user. Access to the Intranet is reserved for the members of the Network of Networks of the Foundation after logging in through their usernames and passwords.
By entering the Intranet, they agree to provide accurate, complete, real and current information. Registration involves providing personal and/or professional information; such as names, surnames, physical addresses, phone numbers and e-mails. The information inserted must be cited according to the standard format of the website. Members of the Network of Networks have available an “Intranet User Guide” in English, Arabic and French that explains and details how to use the tools of the Intranet effectively. The administrator of the website validates each registration within a maximum period of four weeks and an e-mail will be sent to the members of the Network of Networks of the Foundation with a username and a password after the initial log in. Passwords are strictly personal and confidential and users agree to keep them secret and not disclose them in any form whatsoever to third parties. Using the log in and password through the Internet is at their own risk. It is incumbent on members of the Network of Networks to take all necessary precautions to protect their data against any intrusion.
Members of the Network of Networks, who have been registered in the Foundation’s website, assume personal responsibility for conducting their own business. Therefore, everyone is responsible for all claims and/or procedures brought against the IEMed, regardless the form and nature, which may be directly or indirectly connected to the content posted on the website.
The IEMed allows any material published on the Intranet by the members of the Network of Networks, to be visible in the public domain, as long as it is considered for the general interest. All the information received on the website is considered to be surrendered to the IEMed free of charge. Thus, information that CANNOT be considered in this way must not be sent. Similarly, the member of the Network of Networks is responsible for maintaining all the information provided to the IEMed permanently updated so that it corresponds, at each moment, with the current situation of the user. In any case, the member of the Network of Networks will be solely responsible for false or inaccurate statements made and the potential damage to the IEMed or to third parties.
The Foundations’Intranet is an open space where all members of its Network of Networks are invited to actively participate. By posting information and content such as photos, documents comments or news on the Intranet, everyone is making a contribution to the dialogue on women’s rights in the Euro-Mediterranean region. To achieve such goal, the IEMed moderates the usage of the published content. Whenever possible, information provided by the members of the Network of Networks must be real and personally verified by them. All content posted remains the sole responsibility of the author and will not involve the IEMed. The members of the Network of Networks wishing to post information on the Intranet, to be exchanged and shared, are considered to fully accept without any reservation these terms of general usage.
The Internet is a medium whose ergonomics imposes certain conventions that facilitate the reading of messages. To maintain proper standards, contributors are, therefore, urged to avoid writing in all capitals and ensure correct spelling and syntax before posting information. The members of the Network of networks must maintain the collective nature of the exchanges and ensure that discussions are constructive and all subjects are addressed in their greatest manner. The entries must be expressed with courtesy and mutual respect. Each member of the Network of Networks is solely responsible for backing up content stored on the website. If the service is suspended or terminated, the IEMed reserves the right to permanently delete the data from its servers. The IEMed is not required to return the data once the service is suspended or terminated. Deleted data may be unrecoverable.
