2.	DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE

The Site is intended to enable Internet users to create, view, and share 3D Models, to create virtual communities of people and companies interested in 3D design technology and models and to enable such communities to create, view, share and experience 3D content. The Site promotes and offers various services enabling users who are interested in 3D to share, view and experience, where this option is available, modify the 3D Models available on the Site, and to discuss and share best practices around the 3D world, all such services being further described below (collectively, the "Service"). 

The Site is open to all internet users who connect to the Site and use Our Service (hereinafter, the "Visitors"). However, certain parts of the Site are not available to Visitors if they do not open an account.

The Site also enables (i) Visitors to open their personal accounts free of charge (hereinafter, the "Users"), (ii) Users to publish Content on the Site (hereinafter, the "Contributors"), and (iii) Users to create their own Groups and/or to moderate the chats and discussions which take place between the Users of such Groups (hereinafter, the "Administrators"). 

Finally, the Site enables Visitors, Users, Contributors and Administrators (collectively, "You") to test real 3D experiences posted by DS or its partners and, subject to Your acceptance of certain terms and conditions, to create your own 3D Models using DS' proprietary software when available.

You are responsible for obtaining access to the Service. Please note that such access may involve third-party fees (such as Internet service provider charges). In addition, You must provide and are responsible for the equipment necessary to access the Service.

Additional information regarding the various services provided on the Site is available below.

2.1	"3D Models"

"3D Models" is a service which enables Visitors to view and, where such authorization has been granted by the relevant Contributors, to download, use and modify any 3D Model published on the Site by Contributors, in accordance with the use restrictions they have specified. 

"3D Models" also enables Users and Contributors to upload their 3D Models on the Site, whether for public display to all Visitors or for private use or display only to limited Users. 

2.2	"3D Experiences"

"3D Experiences" is a service which enables You to access and view real time 3D experiences created and published by DS and/or its partners to demonstrate the capabilities and impact of using 3D Models in various industries and markets. 3D experiences may only be viewed, but may not be downloaded or copied in any manner.

2.3	"People"

"People" is a service which enables Visitors to view the list of the Contributors and Users and to consult the 3D Models they have uploaded onto the Site, if any. 

Because it is important for Us to protect any confidential or personal information regarding our Users, this section does not enable You to directly contact a Contributor or Member.

2.4	"Groups"

"Groups" is a service which enables Users to create virtual communities of Users who share a common interest in a particular type of 3D Models or in a particular type of 3D technology (a "Group"). 

DS makes available to each Group a specific forum in which the Users and Contributors belonging to the Group may, under the supervision of the Group's Administrator and/or Moderator, express themselves, share their views, discuss, exchange ideas, opinions, and the like. Although the content of such discussions may be viewed by all Users, only the Users and Contributors belonging to the Group may contribute to such discussions.

DS does not monitor the Content posted on such forums. It is the Group's Administrator and/or Moderator's responsibility to ensure that any discussions taking place do not violate the Terms of Use. An Administrator is the User who is at the origin of and has created a new Group. A Moderator is any person designated by an Administrator that has accepted to be designated as such and whose primary role is to regulate its Group.

For specific conditions applicable to group, please see section 18 at the end of this Terms of Uses.

18	SPECIFIC PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO GROUPS

The Site enables the creation on this Site of one or more communities or groups of people who have in common the same interest in one area of 3D or the same thrust for a specific topic of the 3D world (a "Group"). A Group will enable You to get together with people who are driven by the same ambitions, share the same passions as you, and will attempt to facilitate the communication and exchange of ideas, opinions, points of views on specified themes discussed, tips and other useful information between you and other members of the Group. There's a lot to talk about, a lot to share, and a lot to comment on.

To become a member of a Group, You must be a registered User. 

Upon becoming a Member of a Group, You agree to apply and comply with the following rules and guidelines (the "Guidelines") in addition to the other Terms of Use which apply to You as a User. 

Be sure to take a close look at the following Guidelines before joining in.

18.1	Respect your Group!

When You decide to become a Member of a Group, remember that you access a community of people who are happy to be part of this Group and want to learn more from others and from you in particular and who also want to share their views with others and with you. You all are connected to the same 3D world and must respect each other's views and ideas. 

Respect your fellow Group members! We, the Administrator and/or the Moderator (see below about those), will not tolerate any misconduct on your part. Threats, disrespectful, condescending or inappropriate behaviour, abusive conduct, harassment, invasion of one's privacy or revealing other members' personal information are not acceptable behaviour.

If you are caught engaging in one of the abovementioned conducts, We, the Administrator and/or the Moderator may permanently exclude You from the Group and permanently delete your account and the Content you have posted on the Site.

18.2	Remain within the limits of decency

We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express their personal points of view. The very purpose of the Group is to freely expose your views and ideas and share your thoughts.

But don't go too far. 3DVIA is not a forum for abuse.

We, the Administrator and/or the Moderator, will not tolerate any speech, comments, questions, observations or other discussions which are driven by hatred, incitement to violence, which contain slurs, which are defamatory, injurious, obscene, offensive, inappropriate, unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, vulgar, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable or contrary to applicable laws and regulations.

Do not insert hyperlinks in Your discussions linking to your or third party sites or content which You have not checked to ensure they comply with the abovementioned guidelines or which may violate the Terms of Use.

Do not reveal any third party information which you should be keeping in strict confidence pursuant to your obligations towards such third party.

A Moderator or Administrator may, prior to any publication, delete any content which would not be in line with the theme discussed, the Site's editorial principles and line, or which may be violating applicable laws and regulations.

18.3	Abide by your Administrator's or Moderator's decisions

There are two Members of the Group who have a specific status: the Administrator, who has created the specific Group You have decided to join and the Moderator, who has been appointed by the Administrator to help him regulate the Group and the Content posted by its Members. The Administrator is entrusted by Us with certain rights and specific duties, and may in turn entrust the same rights to a Moderator: ensure that the Group does not engage in unlawful activity, illegal behaviour or other prohibited acts.

The Administrator and the Moderators may accordingly refuse or delete any Content within the Group which they deem inappropriate or offensive and by joining a Group, You hereby acknowledge such powers and authority. 

18.4	Enjoy!

Please do take these Guidelines seriously. Do not try to circumvent or bypass them. Just understand them and try to respect the spirit in which they were created. 

Violations of the Terms of Use may result in a warning notification or may result in termination of your account and deletion of all your Content. If Your violation of the Terms of Use is so material that We in good faith believe that you have gone too far, this will result in termination of your account. If you have an account terminated you are prohibited from ever signing up for another account!

19	SPECIFIC PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ADMINISTRATORS AND MODERATORS

19.1	Creation of a Group

3DVIA enables You to decide to create on this Site one or more Groups of people who have in common with You the same interest in one area of 3D or the same thrust for a specific topic of the 3D world. 

By creating a Group, You agree to apply and comply with the Guidelines and the supplemental terms detailed in this Section (the "Supplemental Terms"). By accepting to act as Moderator for a Group, You also agree to apply and comply with the Guidelines and the Supplemental Terms.

Be sure to take a close look at the following terms before creating a Group or accepting to serve as Moderator for one. If You do not agree with any of these Supplemental Terms, please do not create a Group, nor accept to serve as Moderator. 

19.2	Your rights

When You create a Group, you are inviting other Users to join your Group. You may not prohibit a person from becoming a member of your Group.

As an Administrator, You may:

(a)	Add a Group or delete a Group you have created, provided that you duly inform the Members of such Group with advance notice 
(b)	Add or remove any of Your Content which corresponds to the themes or topics developed in the Group;
(c)	Delete another member's Content if you reasonably believe that Content violates any provision of the Terms of Use ;

(e)	Edit any information regarding the Group, such as a description of the topic that is of interest to the group, the posting of tags or icons that are relevant to the Group, but to the exclusion of any personal information i.e. any information which may directly or indirectly enable the identification of a physical person (except if such person has expressly to having her personal information publicly displayed);
(f)	Designate a Moderator who will be in charge of performing certain duties or exercising certain rights on your behalf. Such Moderator may be chosen at your entire discretion based on the amount or quality of the Content he/she posted, on the amount or quality of discussions he/she has engaged in, on his/her knowledge of the specific topic you are interested in etc. 

As a Moderator, You have the same rights as the administrator except that you cannot delete the group.

19.3	Your duties

When you create a Group, you not only have rights, but you must also fulfil certain duties which ensure that the Site is at all times compliant with the Terms of Use and applicable laws and regulations.

Remember: You have created the Group, You are the only person who can operate the Group and We entrust You with a specific duty to administer your Group. Also, do not forget that all the discussions that take place in your Group are visible to all Users and not only to the members of your Group.

Accordingly, You must do the following things:

(a)	Send a warning to any member who has posted a 3D Model or other Content (including comments, discussions, opinions and other views published by a member of your Group) if you reasonably believe the Content violates any provision of the Terms of Use;

(b)	Delete a 3D Model or other Content (including comments, discussions, opinions and other views published by a member of your Group) if you reasonably believe the Content violates any provision of the Terms of Use;

(c)	Permanently terminate access of the Members of the Group if You reasonably believe that this is in the best interest of the Group, considering the seriousness of the violations of the Terms of Use by the relevant Members.

More generally, You accept to ensure that your Group does not violate the Terms of Use which You have accepted.

As a Moderator, You accept to be bound by the same terms

Remember: We are counting on You to foster 3DVIA as the unique forum for quality 3D!
