Moderation of Content and enforcement of these restrictions are governed by the section “Content Moderation and Reporting Illegal Content.”
Content Moderation and Reporting Illegal Content
The Company may moderate Content in order to enforce these Terms, protect the Service and its users, and comply with applicable law. Depending on the circumstances, moderation measures may include restricting the visibility of Content, removing Content, disabling access to Content, limiting access to particular features of the Service, or suspending or terminating an Account where such action is necessary and proportionate.
Content moderation may be based on reports submitted by users or third parties, review carried out by the Company, and technical tools used to identify or prioritise potentially unlawful Content, spam, malware, abusive activity or Content that may violate these Terms. The Company may use automated tools for specific moderation functions, such as filtering usernames that contain prohibited, abusive or otherwise inappropriate terms. Other moderation measures may involve human review where appropriate.
Any individual or entity may notify the Company of specific Content that they believe to be illegal by contacting the Company at hello@sidestreets.app.
A report should, where reasonably possible, include:

a statement confirming the bona fide belief of the person submitting the report that the information and allegations contained in the report are accurate and complete.
The Company may request additional information where reasonably necessary to identify the Content or assess the report.
Where electronic contact information has been provided, the Company will acknowledge receipt of the report without undue delay and will inform the person submitting the report of the Company's decision and, where required by applicable law, the available means of redress.
Reports will be assessed in a timely, diligent, objective and non-arbitrary manner. Submission of a report does not automatically require the Company to remove or restrict the reported Content.
Where the Company restricts Content, an Account or access to the Service because Content is considered illegal or incompatible with these Terms, the Company will provide the affected user with a clear and specific statement of reasons and information concerning available means of redress where required by applicable law.
The Company may preserve relevant information, restrict access to Content, or provide information to competent authorities where required or permitted by applicable law.

The Service is not intended to serve as the sole storage or backup location for Content. You should retain Your own copies of Content that You consider important.
The Company is not required to maintain backups of Content. If the Company uses backup or recovery measures, such measures are intended for operational purposes and do not guarantee that any particular Content can be restored.
Nothing in this section excludes or limits liability or any mandatory consumer right to the extent that such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.
Copyright Policy

You must not knowingly submit false, misleading or abusive infringement notices.
Nothing in these Terms prevents the lawful use of copyrighted works where such use is permitted under applicable copyright law, including applicable limitations and exceptions to copyright.

You should review the terms, privacy information and other applicable conditions of third-party services before using them.
Nothing in this section excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Information About Places, Events and Third Parties
Information available through the Service concerning places, events, routes, opening hours, admission requirements, prices, availability, accessibility, age restrictions and similar matters may change and may be provided by third parties. You should verify information that is important to Your plans directly with the relevant venue, event organiser or other third party before relying on it.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the inclusion, selection or presentation of a place, event, route, business or other third-party service through the Service does not mean that the Company operates or controls that third party and does not by itself constitute a guarantee or commercial endorsement of the information, products, services, safety, availability or conduct of that third party.
Suspension and Termination
The Company may restrict, suspend or terminate Your Account or Your access to all or part of the Service where there is a legitimate reason to do so, including where:

Your Account is involved in fraud, misuse, unauthorised access, security threats or attempts to interfere with the Service;

Where reasonable in the circumstances, the Company may provide You with notice or an opportunity to correct a breach before suspending or terminating Your Account. The Company may act without prior notice where immediate action is reasonably necessary because of a serious breach, security risk, unlawful activity, risk of harm, or a legal obligation requiring immediate action.
Where required by applicable law, the Company will provide You with the reasons for a restriction, suspension or termination and information about available means of redress.
The Company may discontinue all or a material part of the Service for legitimate operational, technical, legal, security or commercially necessary reasons. Unless immediate action is reasonably necessary because of a legal obligation, serious security risk, emergency or comparable circumstance, the Company will provide reasonable advance notice where practicable and required by applicable law.
Termination or suspension does not affect any rights or obligations that arose before the effective date of termination.
Account Deletion
You may request deletion of Your Account at any time through the account settings available in the Service.
Once You initiate Account deletion, the Account will be scheduled for deletion through the Company's automated deletion process. The deletion process will normally be completed without undue delay and within 30 days.. During this period, the Company does not guarantee that Your Account, Account information or Content can be restored in full. Once permanent deletion has been completed, the Account cannot be restored.
Personal data associated with the Account will be deleted or anonymised in accordance with applicable law and Our Privacy Policy. The Company may retain limited information where retention is required or permitted by applicable law, including where necessary for compliance with legal obligations, security and fraud prevention, or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Residual copies may also remain temporarily in secure backup systems in accordance with applicable retention schedules.
This Account deletion procedure does not limit any rights You may have concerning Your personal data under applicable data protection law.

The Company may modify, update or develop the Service from time to time for legitimate reasons, including to improve functionality or usability, maintain or improve security, prevent misuse, comply with legal or regulatory requirements, adapt the Service to technical developments or changes in third-party technologies, maintain compatibility, correct defects, or respond to reasonable operational requirements.
Changes made under this section will not impose additional charges on You unless You separately and expressly agree to a paid service or feature.

Any changes to the price of an existing paid service will be communicated and implemented in accordance with the mandatory consumer law.
The Company will provide information about material changes to the Service in a clear and understandable manner where reasonably appropriate.
Where applicable mandatory law requires advance notice of a change that negatively affects Your access to or use of the Service, the Company will provide such notice in the required form and will inform You of any applicable right to terminate Your use of the Service or other remedy available under applicable law.
Nothing in this section permits the Company to modify the Service in a manner that would unlawfully deprive You of mandatory consumer rights.
Limitation of Liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability of the Company, or any rights or remedies available to You, where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by mandatory applicable law.
To the fullest extent permitted by mandatory applicable law, the Company will not be liable for loss or damage to the extent that such loss or damage:

Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Finland.
If You use the Service as a consumer and are habitually resident in another country of the European Union or European Economic Area, this choice of Finnish law does not deprive You of any mandatory consumer protection afforded to You by the law that would apply in the absence of this choice.
Nothing in these Terms limits any right You may have under applicable mandatory law to bring proceedings before a competent court.

Nothing in this section limits Your right to bring a dispute before a competent court.
Severability and Waiver
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unfair or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision will not bind You to the extent required by applicable law. The remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent that these Terms are capable of continuing without the affected provision.
Waiver
If either party does not exercise a right or enforce a provision of these Terms on a particular occasion, this does not prevent that party from exercising that right or enforcing that provision later.
A waiver relating to one breach of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
Changes to These Terms and Conditions
The Company may amend these Terms where there is a legitimate reason to do so, including changes in applicable law or regulatory requirements, security requirements, technical developments, changes to the functionality or operation of the Service, the introduction, modification or discontinuation of features, or the correction or clarification of these Terms.
