Talkspirit has no general obligation to monitor the data and content provided by Users, nor any obligation to delete content that does not appear to be clearly illicit, notwithstanding the fact that it has been reported. In accordance with the provisions of the present Conditions, Talkspirit may in any case delete obviously illicit content and suspend or close without delay the account of the User concerned, and as a last resort, the account of the organization, without the latter being able to claim compensation if this deletion is justified by the violation of any provision of the present Conditions. Talkspirit undertakes to study within a reasonable period of time any appeals that may be addressed to it by a User or an organization following such suspension or closure, in order to re-examine its decision if necessary.

‍

Talkspirit does not guarantee that the User's use of the Platform will not infringe the rights of third parties.

In this sense, Talkspirit does not guarantee the respect of the ownership of this data. It is the responsibility of the User to take all necessary measures to ensure that the ownership of his data is preserved.

‍

The User must ensure that the data is sent to the Platform and may not blame the Service Provider on any grounds whatsoever for the non-receipt or loss of the data transmitted. The User shall ensure that a backup of the transmitted data is kept.
