voyage-to.me's mission is to empower everyone, wherever they are, to create the change they want to see. Our platform is open because we believe change is more likely to happen when people from different backgrounds with diverse perspectives participate in the dialogue. However, we need rules to ensure that the platform is safe for you, for us and for our communities. These Terms of Use set forth the rights and responsibilities with respect to our platform and services.

If you suspect someone is using your account, let us know. You must be at least 16 years old to use voyage-to.me.
When you sign or create a petition through our platform, an account is created in your name. All your campaign activities are then linked to this account.

All right, title and interest in and to the Platform and voyage-to.me Services, including our website, current and future applications and services, and other elements such as our logo, APIs, databases, and content that our employees or partners submit or provide through our Service (excluding any User Provided Content) are and will remain the exclusive property of voyage-to.me and its licensors.

You are not authorized to use the voyage-to.me name or trademarks, logos, domain names or other distinctive brand elements of voyage-to.me. Any feedback, suggestion or comment regarding voyage-to.me or its services from you will be entirely voluntary, and we will be entitled to use such comments, reactions or suggestions as we deem appropriate and without any obligation to you.

Disable, interfere with, or attempt to circumvent any security-related features of the Platform, or test, scan, or test the vulnerability of any of our systems.

Purchases and donations
We work with various companies to process payments, to stay focused on improving our platforms and enabling our users to make a difference. There are many ways to contribute financially to petitions and issues that are important to you. When you make a payment, you agree to use a valid payment method.
We may offer you the purchase of promotional items related to petitions or campaigns, the payment of a monthly contribution to help us finance the voyage-to.me platform, or others.
SPONSORED PETITIONS
The purchase of promotional items and services includes the sponsorship of petitions. This tool is used to promote a petition by buying advertising, in order to highlight it and obtain the signatures of other contributors. In exchange for your purchase, voyage-to.me promotes the petition of your choice to potential contributors through the website, emails or other communication channels. voyage-to.me reserves the right to choose the method of distribution of this advertising insert.
We use a standard digital advertising model called CPM (cost per thousand impressions). Depending on the amount paid (in dollars), we will display the ad to other potential contributors for your account a certain number of times. Each time the advertisement is displayed, this "impression", or "view", is taken into account in compliance with our promotional obligations to you. The CPM rate, which is the cost per 1,000 views of the ad, varies depending on the country, currency and other factors.
voyage-to.me reserves the right to track and calculate the number of times the advertisement was displayed using multiple data sources. Since we are unable to directly measure views displayed on certain platforms (e.g., Apple iOS devices), the number of views we agree to provide based on your donation is based in part on a projection calculated from our recent experience. In other words, it is a true estimate, based on the data at our disposal. It is likely that the number of views indicated (or a good approximation) will be assured, but due to insufficient information, we cannot guarantee any precise number.
The amount you spend on sponsoring a petition is not paid directly to the petitioners or any other organization associated with the campaign or cause. Purchases directly benefit the petition (and indirectly the cause in question) by giving it greater visibility. They contribute to its dynamism and to collect more signatures. If the cost associated with the number of promotional views is less than the purchase amount of the promotion, voyage-to.me reserves the right to use this balance at its discretion.
The petition sponsorship tool is enabled by default for most petitions. If it is disabled, voyage-to.me is unable to recommend the petition to other users by email, on our website or otherwise. As the initiator of the petition, you can request the deactivation of the sponsorship tool for your petition. To do so, please contact our support department.
If the petition is "victorious" before the end of the sponsorship, we will continue to promote the content up to the remaining number of views purchased, without collecting new signatures.
REGULAR CONTRIBUTIONS TO voyage-to.me
We may offer to support voyage-to.me by making a regular donation. In this case, you can use the payment method of your choice to make a monthly contribution. Monthly donations help fund the voyage-to.me platform, including technical, engineering, operational costs, and campaign support services. Regular donations allow the voyage-to.me platform to remain accessible, independent and free for all. voyage-to.me reserves the right to decide how regular donations are allocated within the company.
The settings of your regular donations can be changed at any time. You can change the amount of your scheduled monthly donations or cancel future donations by logging in and going to theAccount Settings page.
PAYMENT PROCESSING
To process financial transactions, we work with Stripe, Braintree, dLocal and other payment processors (see below for the terms and corresponding privacy policies). If you make a payment for a service, voyage-to.me reserves the right to retain proof of the transaction amount, but none of your personal payment data is stored or recorded in our system. Instead, we rely on payment processors to store certain information about you on our behalf. To learn more about the information we maintain, please refer to ourData Use Policy.
voyage-to.me uses Stripe for some payment processing services. By using Stripe's payment processing services, you agree to be legally bound byStripe's Terms of ServiceandPrivacy Policy.
voyage-to.me uses Braintree, a division of PayPal, Inc. (Braintree), for certain payment processing services. By using Braintree's payment processing services, you agree to be legally bound by Braintree's payment services terms of use and the corresponding banking agreement.
voyage-to.me uses dLocal for certain payment processing services. By using dLocal's payment processing services, you agree to be legally bound by dLocal's terms and conditions and privacy policy.
REFUNDS AND DEACTIVATION
If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase for petition sponsorship, you can request a refund. voyage-to.me Support must receive the refund request within 90 days of purchase to be eligible. To request a refund, please contact oursupport department.
voyage-to.me reserves the right to disable the petition referral service or delete any petition if it violates ourCommunity Guidelinesor Terms of Service, or for any other reason we deem appropriate, regardless of the sponsorship history of the petition in question. We reserve the right not to issue refunds in the event of fraud, abuse or violation of our Terms of Use.
TAXES AND FEES
For all purchase, donation or contribution transactions, you agree: (a) not to use any unsupported or unauthorized payment method, (b) to be billed through the payment method you choose. You understand and acknowledge that payments made to voyage-to.me (Ass AMPE) are not eligible for any tax deduction as donations to charitable organizations. Donations made through our platforms to tax-exempt charities, such as the voyage-to.me Foundation, may be eligible for tax deductions. When you make a donation, you agree to read all of its terms and conditions, to be legally bound by them and to comply with them. If you make a purchase, donation or contribution through our Platform, you agree to pay the corresponding amount or fees in accordance with the rates and payment terms indicated to you for such purchase, donation or contribution. The amounts shown do not include taxes, and you are responsible for paying all applicable taxes. You are also responsible for paying the standard processing fees applicable to credit cards.
Unlike many companies, the raison d'être of voyage-to.me is not profit. Our goal is to make a difference. As of September 2021, voyage-to.me (Ass AMPE) is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the voyage-to.me Foundation (a non-profit entity). The move to a not-for-profit governance and ownership model ensures that voyage-to.me management (Ass AMPE) will remain the long-term management of a digital service that acts in the public interest.
