Readappy is a community dedicated to the art of the word, to books and readers. For this reason, we encourage, support and protect the diffusion of written thought in all languages and in all forms.
To this end, and in particular for the effective protection of freedom of expression, we have drawn a few rules, simple and clear, that all Readappy’s users, readers and writers are required to acknowledge and respect.
This Code of Conduct is part of the General Agreement between the user and Readappy as provided in the latest updated version available.

• Incitement to violence in all its forms: Readappy prohibits and denounces the incitement to violence or hatred against individuals or groups. Although we firmly believe that the best response to hatred and violence is not censorship, Readappy reserves the right to take the measures it considers most appropriate to prevent the dissemination of these ideas through its own channels.
• Incitement to break the laws: Readappy prohibits incitement to violate, circumvent or evade the international and national laws.

What Readappy’s users do not do when using Readappy:
• Spamming: it is forbidden any activity intended to disrupt the normal use of the Content by the users, as well as any activity aimed at obtaining benefits or profits without an explicit authorization from Readappy, such as, for example, sending unwanted messages or content aggregation, posting misleading or deceptive comments or tags, entering misleading links, or links with dubious origin in their content, using deceptive means to generate income or data traffic, or creating Contents with the primary purpose of marketing. And forwards, it is prohibited the automatic creation of accounts or automatic delivery of Content. Readappy is against the use of such forms of communication and interaction, so we disavow and reject any responsibility for these activities.

Penalties:
If Readappy should hold that there is any violation of the Code of Conduct it reserves the right to send a specific written notice via email.
If the alleged responsible is unable to explain or correct their behavior, their account may be suspended and/or deleted, and its IP address may be blocked.
Readappy strives to ensure fair treatment in all cases we reserve the right to terminate accounts and/or remove any Content without notice for any reason, but above all to protect our services, our infrastructure, our users and the entire Readappy community. These rules do not create a contractual duty to Readappy.
