12. ACTIONS IN CASE OF VIOLATIONS OF LAW AND AGREEMENT

If Company recognises a possible violation of its Guidelines or of applicable law, Company will take action by turning off Customer Content temporarily, removing Customer Content or suspending or terminating Customer’s access to Service. 

Before taking action, Company will provide Customer who has made available unappropriate Content with advance notice and warning when reasonably possible, describe the reason for Company’s action, and give Customer an opportunity to fix the problem, unless there are objective and concrete reasons to believe that doing so would:

• cause harm or liability to a Customer, to a third party or to Company;
• violate the law or a legal enforcement authority’s order;
• compromise an investigation;
• compromise the operation, integrity or security of the Service.

If Company recognises a possible violation of Guidelines, Customer Content may be turned off temporarily to check the facts and to monitor, if the problem is fixed. When Company realises that the problem has been fixed or the risk of violating Guidelines has been diminished, Company lifts the restrictions.

If there are objective and concrete reasons to believe that any Customer Content 

• breaches Guidelines, 

• breaches the Agreement,

• violates applicable law or 

• could harm Customers, third parties or Company

Company reserves the right to take down some or all Customer Content in accordance with applicable law. Details are explained in the Guidelines.

Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer’s access to the Service or delete or ban Customer’s account if any of these things happen:

• Customer materially and manifestly or repeatedly breaches the Guidelines; 
• Customer provides manifestly illegal content.

Details and examples for the reasons of suspending and terminating Customer’s account can be found in the Guidelines. 

Furthermore, Company reserves the right to suspend for a reasonable period of time and after having issued a prior warning the processing of notices and complaints through the notice and action mechanisms and internal complaints-handling systems by Customers that frequently submit notices or complaints that are manifestly unfounded. 

For more information about how Company disables accounts and what happens when Company does so, see this Help Center page. 

Company will always take appropriate and objective action. The decision to turn off or remove Customer Content and/or to suspend access, and for how long, and to terminate access will depend on factors such as the nature and severity of the illegal Content, the history of the Customer’s behaviour, including the amount of manifestly illegal Customer Content posted, and, if identifiable, the intent of the Customer. When making a decision Company weighs up between the Customer’s individual interests and human rights and the right of free expression taking into account public interest.

All the decisions are made by human beings.

Company provides Customer with a clear and specific statement of reasons for every decision made. This statement of reasons contains

• concrete information on the decision and measures of Company and the consequences;
• the facts and circumstances relied on in taking the decision;
• a reference to the legal ground or, in case of incompatability with the Agreement, to the contractual ground relied on;
• an explanation why the behaviour of Customer is considered to be illegal or incompatible with the contractual ground;
• the possibilities for redress available to Customer in respect of the decision.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Company shall have the right to collect and analyze data and other information relating to the provision, use and performance of various aspects of the Service and related systems and technologies (including, without limitation, information concerning Customer data and data derived therefrom), and Company will be free (during and after the term hereof) to (i) use such information and data to improve and enhance the Service and for other development, diagnostic and corrective purposes in connection with the Service and other Company products, and (ii) disclose such data solely in aggregate or other de-identified form in connection with its business. Customer hereby assigns to the Company any rights which Customer may have in any feedback data provided by Customer to the Company in respect of the Service (e.g., comments, suggestions, enhancement requests, and recommendations).

13. COMPLAINTS HANDLING PROCESS
‍If Customer receives a notification of a Content turn off or removal or account ban or deletion and believes that it was done in error, then he can appeal the decision. Further information how to appeal can be found here: Drop us an email at privacy@aniview.com or click on this link to register your appeal.

Customer can view the status of your appeal by emailing us privacy@aniview.com
After receiving Customer’s request for review (appeal), Company will review its decision and will make a new one. If Customer’s appeal is approved, Customer’s Content or account will be reinstated (unless Customer has already deleted Customer’s account or Customer Content).

14. DISPUTE SETTLEMENT

If Customer disagrees with Company’s Content decision and Customer resides or is located in the European Union, Customer can raise that decision with a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body in order to resolve the issue. As soon as the certified out-of-court dispute settlement bodies have been selected, a reference can be found here. As not all EU Member States have been able to appoint their Digital Service Coordinators yet, who are responsible for this selection, the selection of the certified out-of-court dispute settlement bodies is still pending.

15. COURT SETTLEMENT

Customer is also free to resolve his claims or any disputes between Company and Customer in the competent court according to our Agreement (judicial redress).

16. WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER
