1.1 The Site is a collaborative web platform of social network type which aims at raising the level of individual and collective fulfillment through the provision of tools facilitating meetings, taking action and the co-creation of activities and local projects. Much more than a simple social network for sharing information, it draws all its originality, its power and its durability through the development of three axes gathered under the same platform: collective action - economy - education.

1.2 The Site is intended, by its conception, methodology and design, to be an educational tool for introspection, evaluation and inner transformation. It invites a Member to find a balance between what he/she is or wishes to become and his/her concrete action to achieve it. In particular, it encourages the local population to express its interests and define its real needs, with the aim of inviting the Community to respond to them by co-creating useful and appropriate projects.

1.3 The Site wishes to stimulate social cohesion, the creation of new professional activities, co-creation, collaboration, empowerment and cooperation in a defined geographical space and invites by resonance other spaces to transform themselves in turn. The Site wishes to contribute to the improvement of a sustainable development model that renews the ways of consuming, producing, working, and living together in order to respond to the major environmental, economic, and societal challenges.

1.4 The Site offers features that have five main objectives:

1) To help individuals who share common values (ecological, human and economic) to share their interests, to easily define their ideas for improvement or their local needs and what they wish to offer (knowledge, goods and services).

2) Allow these individuals to meet each other.

3) To help entrepreneurs who want to co-create and promote locally new projects, activities or small and medium-sized commercial enterprises (SMEs) that respond to the demands of the population and its development. The Site allows the population living around the entrepreneur to discover his/her project and to support him/her.

4) This support can also be done via a mechanism similar to participative micro-financing to realize the project of a candidate entrepreneur. In addition, the Site promotes the use within the network Community of a means of exchange called VIBZs, similar to (but not equal to) a virtual electronic currency. This original financing method, in a spirit of fairness, encourages economic exchanges and the setting up of new projects within the Community.

5) Stimulate the support of Members in the creation of their projects and/or in their various needs related to the activities of the Site. 

1.5 The Site is essentially intended for citizens, associations, small businesses and public authorities.

2.1 The Site was initially developed by Ednco.

As of March 16, 2021,

1) Ednco has transferred ownership of the Site to LL45; 

2) LL45 has granted VL ASBL a licence to operate the Site.

LL45 is thus the owner of the Site and VL ASBL is the owner of the Members' Accounts.

VL ASBL considers the Site to be an essential tool in order to achieve its objectives.

LL45 and VL ASBL share the same societal mission.

VL ASBL collaborates with other associations in order to achieve its objectives.

2.2 A member is advised that these ToU are subject to change by Vibrerlocal. Each Member is invited to consult regularly the present ToU in order to take note of the possible modifications.

This ToU supersedes any public statements, oral or written, made by individuals connected with Vibrerlocal or current or future third parties. This ToU is not a solicitation to invest.

2. 3. A Member states and warrants that he/she will defend other Members, Vibrerlocal and Vibrerlocal related third parties, and their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, partners, agents, affiliates, successors and assigns, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, demands, liabilities, suits, actions, costs, fees and expenses incurred or sustained in any way by or asserted against such persons in connection with, arising out of or resulting from (i) his or her participation in the Site or (ii) his or her use of the Services available on the Site or (iii) his or her ownership or use of one or more VIBZs or (iv) his or her ability or failure to perform under this TOU or (v) any breach by him or her of this TOU.

As a result, the Member waives all recourse against Vibrerlocal, in particular on the basis of the possible infringement of his/her image rights, honour, reputation, privacy, resulting from the dissemination or disclosure of information concerning him/her, insofar as the Member has previously, freely and explicitly consented to such disclosure by virtue of his/her membership of the Site and in application of these ToU.

5.7 If a Member loses or forgets his or her password, he or she may simply click on the "forgotten password" link available on the Site and an e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address he or she provided at the time of registration.

6.15 If a Member believes that content authored by (or owned by) the Member or owned by a third party has been copied, altered and/or misappropriated and posted to the Site without authorization, the Member must immediately notify Vibrerlocal using the contact form or feature in order for Vibrerlocal to take any action it deems necessary.

- This transfer of one or more VIBZs can only be made in exchange for a good and/or service. - The transferring Member must indicate the reason for the transfer in a dedicated field available on the Site.

- The Site allows the transferring Member to clearly identify the receiving Member. It is the responsibility of the transferring Member to choose the receiving Member carefully.

Vibrerlocal may intervene in the event of a dispute (see section "Dispute between Members").

- A Member cannot choose individually the identification numbers of the VIBZs which he/she transfers, he/she can only indicate the number of VIBZs which he/she transfers and the Site will choose arbitrarily, amongst the VIBZs owned by the Member, the one(s) transferred.

9.2 A VIBZs may not be exchanged or transferred outside the Site.

9.3 A VIBZs may not be bequeathed or pledged.

9.4 A VIBZs is activated only at the time it is offered. Therefore, there is no undistributed stock of VIBZs as defined in these ToU.

9.5 VIBZs holdings are limited to a maximum of 10,000 VIBZs per Holder.

9.6 Vibrerlocal formally undertakes and guarantees that it will not take any action or make any decision that could harm, immediately or in the future, the exchange value of a VIBZs. In particular, Vibrerlocal agrees and warrants that it will not create and distribute VIBZs without an acceptable countervalue as specified on the Site.

9.7 The ownership of one or more VIBZs does not give any express or implied right. A Holder shall have no special expectation of governance of Vibrerlocal or the Site.

9.8 A VIBZs may not, under any circumstances

- be resold to Vibrerlocal,

- sold to anyone else,

- exchanged for currency or virtual currency,

10.1 In accordance with 4.2, the functionality allowing VL ASBL to offer VIBZs is not yet available. Consequently, articles 10.2 to 10.12 are given for information purposes and will only become applicable when this functionality is available on the Site.

10.2 In the corresponding section of the Site dedicated to this purpose, a Donor can freely make a donation to VL ASBL in order to contribute to the financing of Micro-Financing Requests published on the Site (see the corresponding section of the GTC). He can thus financially support a particular Project by contributing to the corresponding Specific Project Pot. As a sign of gratitude for a donation made to support a Project, VL ASBL gives the corresponding Member a certain number of VIBZs. The Site displays the number of VIBZs that a candidate Donor may receive from VL ASBL according to the amount of this donation as stipulated below. When entering his/her donation, the Donor will also have the possibility, if he/she so wishes, to allocate part of his/her donation to support the activities of VL ASBL. The Site clearly displays the amount that will be allocated to the Project and the amount that may be allocated to VL ASBL.

10.3 If a Donor has made a donation to a Specific Project Pot related to a certain Project, then that Donor will only receive the corresponding VIBZs if the Project in question is financially supported by VL ASBL and at the latest, at the time the Beneficiary receives the requested funds. Once donated, the VIBZs will become visible in the section of the Site that allows a Member to see the number of VIBZs he or she holds.

10.4 Obtaining one or more VIBZs is done exclusively through the Site.

10.5 You must be a Member to receive one or more VIBZs.

10.6 Vibrerlocal reserves the right not to give one or more VIBZs to a Donor.

However, Vibrerlocal is committed to ensuring stability in the equivalence between a given amount and the number of VIBZs received, to the extent possible.

10.8 Vibrerlocal may freely decide, for specific Members, to allocate a different number of VIBZs per donation amount received. 

10.9 Vibrerlocal may freely decide to stop giving VIBZs temporarily or permanently.

10.10 A Member shall indicate the amount of his or her donation and the Site shall display the number of VIBZs that he or she is likely to receive, taking into account the Transaction Fee Linked to a Donation to a Pot. 

10.11 If a donation is made through credit card fraud, other fraud or illegal means, Vibrerlocal may, at its discretion, cancel, refuse to honor and/or confiscate such VIBZs, suspend the Member, enforce all rights and pursue all available remedies.

10.12 By receiving one or more VIBZs, the Donor declares and guarantees

- That he/she understands and accepts the definition and use of a VIBZs and more specifically that he/she does not consider a VIBZs as a currency, nor as a speculative investment.

- That he/she agrees that to the extent permitted by applicable law, the VIBZs received and any associated Services are provided "as is" without warranty, representation, or condition of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, any implied warranties, representations, or conditions of quality, merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, all of which are hereby disclaimed to the fullest extent permitted by law.

As defined, this Behavior is hereinafter referred to as "Site Usage".

11.4 The purpose of this Rating is for Vibrerlocal to distinguish and reward the most active and motivated Members.

12.1 The use of the Site is free for a Member. However, the existence, maintenance and development of the Site involves costs for Vibrerlocal. Consequently, in order to cover these costs, VL ASBL accepts with gratitude all donations made by the Members to allow the Site to subsist and develop. For this purpose, a specific section of the Site displays some or all of the following information:

- A Member's own usage of the Services during the month ; 

- the corresponding cost of that use incurred by Vibrerlocal; 

- various information namely on the donations received by VL ASBL and the overall costs incurred;

- a suggested donation amount.

12.2 On this basis, a Member may, if he/she wishes, make a specific donation, referred to as a Usage Donation, to cover the costs associated with his use.

12.3 A Usage Donation is made on a voluntary basis.

12.4 A Usage Donation is made using the Online Payment Method available on the Site.

12.5 Usage of the Site does not imply that a Member is required to make a  Usage Donation

12.6 The amount given in a Usage Donation is entirely at the Member's discretion.

12.7 A Usage Donation is not used to support projects within the framework of Micro-Financing projects.

12.8 A Donation for Use cannot be refunded by VL ASBL.

a) a Donor to freely make a Donation for Use;

b) under certain conditions, a Project Sponsor to introduce on the Site, a Micro-financing Request on behalf of a Beneficiary;

c) VL ASBL to organize fundraising events, in order to give the possibility to Donors to freely make monetary donations to VL ASBL to enable it, under certain conditions and to the extent possible, to financially support certain Projects, by responding to their respective Micro-Financing Requests.

13.1.2 Neither Vibrerlocal, a Project Sponsor nor a Beneficiary will provide goods or services to a Donor in exchange for a donation.

13.1.3 VL ASBL does not issue a certificate for the purpose of receiving a tax deduction for a Donor.

13.2.1 In accordance with its corporate purpose, VL ASBL may provide financial support to certain Projects by organizing fundraising activities via the Site.

13.2.2 A Micro-financing Request is submitted by a Project Sponsor in a dedicated section of the Site and is initially visible only to certain Members with dedicated access rights.

13.2.3 If VL ASBL agrees to support a Micro-financing Request by organizing a fundraising event, this Micro-financing Request is then qualified as "published" on the Site, i.e. it becomes visible to all Members and a corresponding Specific Project Pot is created in order to allow Donors to fund it freely.

13.2.4 VL ASBL decides at its sole discretion and without having to justify itself whether a Micro-financing Request can be published on the Site. VL ASBL reserves the right to refuse, at its sole discretion and without having to justify itself, the publication of a Micro-financing Request.

13.2.5 Vibrerlocal may decide at any time and at its sole discretion to discontinue an ongoing Micro-financing Request, close the corresponding Specific Project Pot and refund the accumulated donations in that pot to the respective Donors and/or take any action Vibrerlocal deems necessary to protect the interests of Vibrerlocal and the Members. Vibrerlocal may take such actions, including, without limitation, if Vibrerlocal believes or determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that: (i) the information provided by the Project Sponsor is false, misleading or fraudulent or that the funds will be used for a prohibited purpose, (ii) the Project Sponsor and/or Beneficiary has violated this ToU, (iii) the Project Sponsor and/or Beneficiary colludes with Donors to conduct fraudulent activities, (iv) suspicious or fraudulent donations may be made, or (v) to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, injunction or applicable laws and regulations.

13.2.6 A Member may not assume that VL ASBL has more information about a Project Sponsor, a Micro-financing Request or a Beneficiary than that published on the Site.

13.2.7 Once published, a Project Sponsor may complete its Micro-financing Request in order to provide Members with additional information but may not in any way modify the essence of its initial publication.

13.2.8 The fact that VL ASBL does not publish a Request for Micro-financing does not in itself lead to the assumption that VL ASBL has a bad opinion of the corresponding Project and vice versa.

13.2.9 In order for a Micro-financing Request to be published, a Project Sponsor must meet certain conditions and provide VL ASBL and possibly the Partner Association designated by VL ASBL with a certain amount of information while guaranteeing its truthfulness and accuracy.

13.2.12 VL ASBL may, but is not obliged to, ask a Project Sponsor to clarify or, if necessary, correct its Micro-financing Request before it is published in order to allow Donors to have the most relevant information possible.

13.2.13 When a Micro-financing request for a certain Project is closed, a new Micro-financing request may be submitted for the same Project, provided it meets the Conditions Necessary to Publish a Micro-financing Request.

13.2.14 At the end of the Collection Period of a Micro-financing Request, a mention is then published on the Site indicating that this one is closed with or without success according to whether the totality of the collected donations is superior or inferior to the requested amount.

13.2.15 A Micro-financing Request cannot exceed the equivalent of five thousand euros. When a request for Micro-financing for a certain Project is closed, a new request for Micro-financing can be introduced for this same Project taking into account that the total amount requested per Project during the same calendar year cannot exceed the equivalent of ten thousand euros.

13.12.16 The same Project Sponsor may make different Micro-financing Requests for different projects, taking into account that the total amount requested for these different Projects, over the same calendar year, may not exceed the equivalent of ten thousand euros.

13.12.17 A Micro-financing Request may be made in the currency specified in the section dedicated to Micro-financing on the Site. This currency can be, in some cases, a local currency like for example, the Beki, the local currency of the canton Redange in Luxembourg.

13.2.18 A project owner who wishes to discontinue a published Micro-financing Request must contact Vibrerlocal via the contact form.
