The User can choose to
register to the Service also via social login (using its Account for other web
applications such as for example: Facebook, Twitter). If the User opts for the social
login it should be aware thatQuentral Srl may receive the following information:
full name, date of birth, public profile, friends list. In addition, the User
may be asked for authorization to write contents on its wall and/or on its friends'
wall. The User authorizes Quentral to use such information in order to
supply the Service. The User must also be aware that registering via social login
will automatically make visible to the Users of the Service its public profile
from the web application used for registration. Registration via social login
will allow User's contacts to associate the nickname chosen for registration to
the Service with its identity on the other web application.
When creating its profile,
the User can enter personal information such as: profession, other Data and
information regarding its skills, proficiencies and abilities, other personal
profile information, upload its photos and share them with other users. When
creating its profile, the User can indicate a geographic location. Furthermore,
the Service may locate the User. Therefore, geographic location will be associated
with its profile and visible to all the Users Registered to the Service. The
Service allows every Registered User to make a search for other Registered
Users based on geographic location chosen as search filter. We would like to
draw your attention to the fact that Quentral Srl does not
perform any checks on the supplied Data and information or on the truthfulness
of whatever stated by the User during Registration to and use of the Service. Quentral Srl shall under no circumstances be held
responsible for any consequence arising from the use by each User of the
information provided by other Users. The User hereby declares under its own
responsibility that all the Data provided during Account Registration is true
and correct.
Once the Account has been
created, the User's Contents and those received by the other Users, with which
there is an interaction through the use of the Service, will be visible on its
Profile. Upon Registration, and to ensure the security of its own Account, the
User commits:
1. Not to provide false personal Data.
2. Not to create an Account on behalf of another person without permission.
3. Not to create more than one personal Account.
4. Not to create another Account without the consent of Quentral Srl should the latter disable the original Account.
5. To be at least 16 years old of age.
6. To make sure that contact details are always accurate and up to date.
7. To never share its Password nor allow others to access its Account or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of its Account.

9. To choose for its Profile a name that is not offensive and/or that recalls phrases or words considered insulting or inappropriate.
10. To always act in accordance with applicable laws and legislation and within the rules of this document.
In the event of the User
breachingone or more of the above listed points, its Account may be cancelled
by Quentral Srl
The User acknowledges and
agrees that Quentral Srl can cancel its Account at any time, at its sole discretion and
without any notice to the User whose Account has been cancelled.
8. Account cancellation by the User.
The User may decide to Cancel its Account at any time. To Cancel, just go to Settings in your own Profile and click "Cancel Account".
Upon Cancellation of the Account the status of the Member shall be lost as well as the possibility to use the Services dedicated to the Members of the Site. Once the Account is Cancelled the User can no longer access it nor use it to access the Service, or access and/or edit its Profile. The Deleted Profile shall no longer be accessible to other Users.
Before proceeding to the Cancellation of its Account, the User may remove any Contents posted whilst using the Service. The User intending to Cancel its Account should be aware that if it also intends to remove any Contents posted whilst using the Service, User shall do so prior to Cancellation of the Account. The User who intends to delete its Contents may do so through a dedicated feature accessible and available for each Content.
However, some of the
activities performed by the User during the use of the Service are not only
stored within its Account (i.e.: private messages sent to other Users, e-mail
notifications sent to other Users and Contents shared on other platforms), such
Contents will therefore be available also after Account Cancellation by the
User and cannot be made anonymous.
If prior to Account Cancellation the User does not remove the Contents
as described above, the undeleted Contents can no longer be removed from the
Site and shall therefore be visible together with the Avatar and Username
chosen by the User upon Registration to the Service. Username and Avatar shall
remain associated with the undeleted Contents.
Deletion of Contents by a
User may result in the simultaneous deletion of comments and replies posted by
other users in relation to such contents. On such basis Quentral shall under no circumstances be held responsible for
such deletions.
User's personal data will
be stored for the time required to comply with the provisions of the relevant
legislation. In this respect we shall once more recur to the current
legislation applicable to the case at hand (EU Regulation 2016/679 on Data
Protection - GDPR) and invite the User to verify the provisions set out in our Privacy Policy.

User shall be required to choose a Password. The Registered User holds full
responsibility to keep this Password confidential and commits to keep it in a
safe and secret place and not to disclose it to any third parties.

immediately notify Quentral Srl in the event it finds that there has been an
unauthorized access to its Account or an unauthorized use of its Profile.
The User who intends to register
to the Service, acknowledges that Quentral Srl reserves the right to carry out at any
time any authentication and/or verification of the Data provided by each User,
in accordance with the applicable laws, also in relation to Privacy, and with
immediate effect. Users give consent to any new authentication and verification
procedures that may be applied, without prejudice to the fact that the
implementation of such procedures is at Quentral discretion.

However, the User undertakes to guarantee, indemnify and hold harmless Quentral Srl, for any consequence or claim arising out of or in connection with any Content and/or related to the publication of such Contents on the Site.
Upon publication of the Contents, the User grants to Quentral Srl a temporary and non-exclusive license for their use(IP License), transferable and valid worldwide. The User agrees that the publication of Contents will be completely free and therefore the User cannot claim any right of financial nature. Through the usage license, Quentral Srl will be allowed to use any Content posted on the Site or connected with the Service and will be authorized to use, copy, perform, display and create derivative works and distribute the User's Contents by using any tool or distribution method (currently available or hereafter developed) worldwide. The usage License shall be deemed revoked by the User if the latter decides to delete its Contents and in relation to the removed Contents only.
Some of the activities performed by the User during the term of use of the Service are stored not only in its Account (i.e.: private messages sent to other Users, e-mail notifications sent to other Users and Contents shared on other platforms). Such Contents will also be available after Account Cancellation by the User and cannot be made anonymous. In addition, as already stated, User's Contents available on the Site that were not previously removed in case of Account Cancellation shall remain available on the Site. The User can share the Contents posted on the Site also on its personal wall of its Facebook profile.
Opinions, judgments and assessments available on the Site, represent only the User's view and under no circumstances can be related to or associated with Quentral Srl and/or any individual directly and/or indirectly connected to the latter. Quentral Srl is therefore held harmless from any warranty of completeness, veracity, validity, of any data, news or information available in the Contents disseminated on the Site.
The User acknowledges and agrees that the Site, the User's public Profile and the Contents, are indexable by other search engines.
The User acknowledges and agrees that the staff of Quentral Srl may modify the Contents posted by the User in order to improve usability also by the other Users of the Service. Once such changes have been applied the previous versions of the Contents will no longer be available.
