7. Verification services

 

To promote authenticity, trust, transparency, and member safety, Puism may offer various verification services and identity authentication tools designed to help members demonstrate the legitimacy of their profiles and increase confidence within the community.

Verification is intended to reduce fraud, impersonation, fake profiles, deceptive behavior, and other activities that may negatively affect the member experience. However, verification does not eliminate all risks associated with online interactions and should never replace personal judgment, caution, or individual responsibility.

Members may choose to participate in one or more verification programs offered by Puism, including but not limited to:

Verification badge and status

 

Members who successfully complete a verification process may receive a verification badge, status indicator, trust mark, or similar designation on their profile.

  • A guarantee of intentions.
  • A guarantee of safety.
  • A guarantee of compatibility.
  • A guarantee of legal compliance.
  • A recommendation or endorsement by Puism.

Members remain solely responsible for exercising appropriate caution when interacting with others.

 

Ongoing verification and re-verification

 

Puism reserves the right to request additional verification, re-verification, or updated documentation at any time.

Verification status may be suspended, restricted, revoked, or removed if:

  • Information becomes outdated.
  • Documentation expires.
  • New concerns arise regarding authenticity.
  • Fraudulent activity is suspected.
  • Account ownership is disputed.
  • Community safety concerns arise.

Refusal, suspension, and revocation

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Puism makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the accuracy, reliability, authenticity, conduct, intentions, safety, or legality of any verified member.

Puism shall not be liable for any losses, damages, injuries, disputes, fraud, misconduct, misrepresentations, or other consequences arising from reliance upon a member's verification status.

 

Member acknowledgement

Nothing in this section limits Puism's rights to cooperate with financial institutions, payment processors, law enforcement agencies, or regulatory authorities in connection with suspected fraud, theft, unauthorized transactions, or other unlawful activities.

 

10. Real-life meetings & personal responsibility

 

Puism is a platform designed to facilitate introductions, communication, networking, dating, and social interactions between consenting adults. Puism does not organize, supervise, monitor, endorse, verify, or control any interactions, meetings, events, encounters, relationships, or activities that may occur between members, whether online or offline.

While Puism may offer profile verification tools and community safety features, we do not guarantee the identity, honesty, intentions, conduct, availability, relationship status, health status, sexual practices, criminal background, or personal safety of any member.

11. Privacy

 

At Puism, privacy, discretion, and member confidentiality are fundamental principles of our platform. We recognize that many members share personal, intimate, lifestyle, and relationship information that requires a high level of protection and respect.

Your use of the platform is subject to our privacy policy, which forms an integral part of these terms and conditions. By creating an account or using the platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted our privacy policy and consent to the collection, processing, storage, and use of your information as described therein.

Puism is committed to implementing reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational measures designed to protect member information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction. All platform data is hosted in France using the secure infrastructure of OVHcloud, benefiting from the protections afforded by French and European data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Members remain responsible for the information they choose to publish, upload, transmit, or share through the platform. While Puism provides privacy settings and account controls, any information voluntarily disclosed to other members may become accessible beyond the platform and cannot always be controlled or recovered once shared.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Other members may view profile information, photos, content, and activity according to your privacy settings and membership level.
  • Information voluntarily shared through messages, chats, groups, forums, comments, or other communication features may be copied, saved, shared, or disclosed by recipients without Puism's knowledge or control.
  • Puism cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information that you voluntarily disclose to other members.
  • You are solely responsible for deciding what personal information, photographs, videos, or other content you choose to share.

Puism strictly prohibits the unauthorized collection, reproduction, distribution, publication, sale, or disclosure of another member's personal information, photographs, private communications, or content without their consent. Any member found engaging in such activities may face immediate account suspension or termination and may be reported to the appropriate authorities where required by law.

To protect the platform, its members, and its legitimate business interests, Puism may process and disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with legal obligations, court orders, or lawful requests from authorities.

  • Enforce these terms and conditions.
  • Protect the safety, rights, property, or security of members, staff, or the platform.

  • Respond to complaints, legal claims, or intellectual property disputes.

In the event of a payment dispute, fraud investigation, chargeback claim, account ownership dispute, or security investigation, Puism reserves the right to provide relevant account information, activity logs, IP addresses, verification records, profile information, photographs, communications with support, and other necessary evidence to payment processors, financial institutions, legal representatives, law enforcement agencies, regulatory authorities, or dispute resolution providers where legally permitted and reasonably necessary to protect its rights and interests.

While Puism continuously works to maintain a secure environment, no website, application, network, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, members acknowledge that they use the platform at their own risk and that Puism cannot guarantee absolute security or confidentiality of information transmitted over the Internet.

By using Puism, you acknowledge the sensitive nature of the platform and accept responsibility for maintaining your own privacy, protecting your account credentials, exercising caution when communicating with others, and making informed decisions regarding the information you choose to disclose.

Puism remains committed to fostering a trusted, discreet, and secure environment where consenting adults can connect with confidence while maintaining control over their personal information to the greatest extent possible.

Puism reserves the absolute right, at its sole discretion and without liability, to suspend, restrict, limit, deactivate, or permanently terminate any account, membership, subscription, profile, content, feature access, or use of the platform at any time when it reasonably determines that such action is necessary to protect the platform, its members, its business interests, or to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

Membership on Puism is a revocable privilege and not a guaranteed right. Access to the platform may be withdrawn at any time if a member fails to comply with these terms and conditions, community guidelines, privacy policy, or any other policies published by Puism.

  • Refunds of membership fees.
  • Compensation of any kind.
  • Reimbursement of unused subscription periods.

In the event of maintenance, outages, upgrades, or service interruptions, Puism will make reasonable efforts to restore services as quickly as practicable. However, no guarantee is provided regarding restoration times or uninterrupted availability.

Except where required by applicable law, temporary or permanent interruptions to the platform shall not entitle members to refunds, compensation, damages, credits, extensions of membership, or any other form of reimbursement.

By using the platform, you acknowledge and agree that uninterrupted access cannot be guaranteed and that the continued operation, development, and availability of the platform remain subject to technical, operational, legal, and commercial considerations beyond Puism's control.

As the platform evolves, legal requirements change, security standards develop, and new services are introduced, it may become necessary for Puism to revise these terms to reflect operational, legal, technical, commercial, or regulatory developments.

Changes may be made for reasons including, but not limited to:

If you do not agree with any modification, update, or revision to these terms, your sole remedy is to immediately discontinue use of the platform and, if desired, close your account.

 

No requirement for individual notice

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Puism shall not be required to provide individual notice of every modification, amendment, clarification, or update made to these terms.

Members agree that publication of revised terms on the platform, together with any notice that Puism elects to provide, constitutes sufficient notice of such changes.

23. Severability

 

If any provision, clause, section, sentence, or portion of these terms and conditions is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, regulatory authority, or applicable legal body to be invalid, unlawful, unenforceable, void, or contrary to applicable law, such provision shall be interpreted, modified, or limited to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its original intent as closely as possible.

If modification is not possible, the affected provision shall be deemed severed from these terms and conditions without affecting the validity, legality, enforceability, or operation of the remaining provisions.

The remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue to be binding upon both Puism and its members as if the invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable provision had never formed part of these terms.

Furthermore:

  • The invalidity of any provision shall not affect the validity of any other provision.
  • The unenforceability of a provision in one jurisdiction shall not affect its enforceability in any other jurisdiction where it may be lawfully enforced.
  • Any provision that can be lawfully modified to become enforceable shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
  • Headings, titles, and section labels are provided for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of these Terms.

The parties expressly agree that if any limitation of liability, disclaimer, indemnification obligation, intellectual property protection, privacy protection, moderation right, account restriction, or other risk-allocation provision contained in these terms is found unenforceable, such provision shall nevertheless be interpreted and enforced to the broadest extent permitted by applicable law.

It is the express intention of both Puism and its members that these terms and conditions remain valid, enforceable, and effective even if one or more provisions are modified, limited, or removed by operation of law.

By continuing to use the platform, you acknowledge and agree that the provisions of these terms shall be interpreted in a manner that preserves their validity, effectiveness, and enforceability to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law.

 

24. Entire agreement

 

These terms and conditions, together with the privacy policy, community guidelines, membership rules, subscription terms, payment policies, and any other policies, notices, or legal documents expressly incorporated by reference and published by Puism (collectively, the "agreement"), constitute the complete, final, and exclusive agreement between you and Puism regarding your access to and use of the platform.

This agreement supersedes and replaces all prior or contemporaneous agreements, negotiations, discussions, understandings, communications, representations, warranties, proposals, commitments, and arrangements, whether oral, written, electronic, or otherwise, relating to the platform and its services.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • You have not relied upon any statement, representation, promise, guarantee, advertisement, expectation, or assurance that is not expressly set forth in this agreement.
  • No employee, representative, moderator, affiliate, contractor, agent, partner, advertiser, or third party acting on behalf of Puism has authority to modify these terms or create obligations that are not expressly contained herein, unless such modification is made in writing and officially published by Puism.
  • Marketing materials, promotional content, social media posts, newsletters, customer support communications, blog articles, FAQs, public statements, or other informational materials are provided for convenience and informational purposes only and do not form part of the contractual relationship between you and Puism unless expressly stated otherwise.

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these terms and any other communication, publication, or statement, these terms and conditions shall prevail and govern, except where a more specific written agreement expressly states otherwise.

Nothing contained on the platform shall be interpreted as creating:

  • A partnership,
  • A joint venture,
  • An employment relationship,
  • An agency relationship,
  • A fiduciary relationship,
  • A brokerage relationship,
  • Or any similar legal relationship between Puism and its members.

Puism operates solely as a provider of online technology, communication tools, and community services for consenting adults.

Furthermore, the failure of Puism to enforce any provision of this agreement at any time shall not constitute a waiver of its right to enforce that provision or any other provision in the future.

This agreement shall remain binding upon both parties and shall survive any suspension, restriction, cancellation, expiration, or termination of your account to the extent necessary to enforce rights, obligations, liabilities, limitations of liability, indemnification provisions, dispute resolution provisions, intellectual property protections, payment obligations, and any other provisions which by their nature are intended to survive termination.
