§ 1 Scope & provider

These Terms & Conditions govern the use of the platforms wikey.cc and spread.site (the "Platform" or "Service") between the operator (see Imprint, "we") and users ("you"). The wikey®IMS project is operated by a private individual on a voluntary, non-commercial basis; it is not intended as a commercial service and no income is generated. By using the Platform you accept these Terms.

§ 2 Subject of the service

wikey.cc / spread.site is an Intermedial Messaging Service: a communication, media and hosting platform on which users create, publish and share multimedia messages ("spreads") and generate QR codes, flyers and NFC artifacts. It additionally offers a classifieds board (the "marketplace") and playful gamification ("EVE").

All features are provided free of charge and without any intention of profit. There is no entitlement to specific features or to continuous availability. Participation is voluntary; there is no contractual obligation to use or contribute.

§ 3 Registration & account

• Core functions require a free account; your details must be truthful.
• Keep your credentials secret; you are liable for activity under your account.
• One account per person as a rule. Multiple/fake accounts to manipulate EVE or reach are prohibited.
• You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or delete accounts for violations.

§ 4 EVE — nature, not a financial product

"EVE" (internally also "energy" / "digital energy") are purely virtual, in-platform reward and loyalty points of a gamification nature reflecting activity and resonance. Expressly:

• EVE are not legal tender and not money.
• EVE are not e-money and constitute no payment service.
• EVE are not a financial instrument, not a security, not an investment.
• EVE are not a cryptocurrency / not a tradable crypto-asset; they exist only as a database value, not on a blockchain.
• EVE have no monetary value, are not redeemable or refundable for real money and cannot be transferred outside the intended platform mechanics.
• There is no payout claim, no interest, no yield and no promise of profit.
• EVE may be adjusted, reset or discontinued at any time; there is no vested right.

Because of this design as a closed, non-monetary loyalty programme (limited network), wikey.cc is not a licensable financial or payment service and is not subject to FMA supervision. Terms such as "wallet" or "smart contract" are metaphorical and describe no financial or blockchain function.

§ 5 Marketplace (classifieds)

• The marketplace is a pure intermediary board for offers and requests between users.
• wikey.cc does not become a contracting party; contracts arise solely between users.
• wikey.cc processes no real-money payments and is no escrow agent.
• Users alone are liable for the accuracy, legality, quality and fulfilment of listings.

§ 6 User content & rights

• You keep the rights to your content and grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, display and distribute it within the service (incl. QR/flyer/offline export).
• You warrant that you hold all required rights to uploaded content.
• We may remove content that is unlawful or violates these Terms.

§ 7 Prohibited use

• Unlawful, abusive, discriminatory, violent or youth-endangering content.
• Spam, manipulation of EVE/votes/scans, automated mass requests, security attacks.
• Infringement of third-party copyright, trademark or personality rights.
• Presenting EVE to third parties as money, an investment or a tradable asset.

§ 8 Availability & changes

We aim for high availability but owe no uninterrupted access. We may evolve, limit or discontinue features. Material changes to these Terms will be announced; continued use constitutes acceptance.

§ 9 Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and under mandatory law. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of essential contractual duties, limited to foreseeable, typical damage. Liability for user-generated content, for transactions between users and for the (non-existent) "value" of EVE is excluded.

§ 10 Data protection

We process personal data under the GDPR solely to provide the service. Details on the controller and contact are in the Imprint.

§ 11 Final provisions

Austrian law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer-protection rules remain unaffected. If a provision is invalid, the remainder of the contract stays in force. Place of performance and jurisdiction follow statutory rules.
