GUIDELINES FOR GOCONQR GROUPS
Examtime Limited, Trading as GoConqr, (“we”) supply any and all of the services made available on our websites www.examtime.com and www.goconqr.com or any and all of our other related websites, any and all of their subdomains, any and all of their mobile versions, any and all of their Mobile Applications, access to databases and content, the opportunity to create and share content and the opportunity to create and participate in Groups, Forums and Discussions (“the Service”).

We want users to feel safe when using GoConqr. That is why we've developed a set of Guidelines for GoConqr Groups. These Guidelines will help you understand what you should and should not post, the type of interaction that is allowed, and what type of content may be reported to us and, if deemed appropriate, removed.
These Guidelines should be read in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy and Copyright Policy. Where there is a conflict between these Guidelines and our Terms and Conditions and various Policies, the Terms and Conditions and Policies will take precedent.

GUIDELINES FOR GROUP ADMINISTRATORS
A user automatically becomes an Administrator when they create a Group. A Group can have more than one Administrator. If a user joins a Group that already has one or more Administrators, they can ask any of the existing Administrators to add them as an Administrator.
As the Administrator of a GoConqr Group, you acknowledge and agree that you may be deemed a “Data Controller” as the term is defined in the EU Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and its supporting legislation. If you are deemed a Data Controller, you are subject to the roles and responsibilities of a Data Controller, which include, for example, ensuring that the data you collect about your Group Members is processed fairly and not used in ways that are beyond the scope for which the data was collected.
Administrator(s) have the rights to do the following within their Group(s):
-
Monitor the membership of the Group
-
Make a new member Administrator of the Group
-
Remove existing members from a Group
-
Edit a Group’s name and/or description
-
Edit a Group’s logo
-
Edit and remove discussions
-
Delete and/or report a comment
-
Delete their Group(s)
As a Group Administrator you are expected to:
-
Promote and demonstrate the principles of GoConqr Groups and follow the general Groups Guidelines.
-
Be active on the group, facilitate introductions of participants, help other members by offering knowledge that you have or providing links when necessary.
-
Not allow negative or malicious comments/content. Report negative or inappropriate comments/content that might affect the group’s health.
-
Maintain order and moderate Groups and discussions in accordance with GoConqr Groups Guidelines.
-
Ensure all participants follow the Groups Guidelines.
-
Notify GoConqr of any violations of the Groups Guidelines by a Group’s member.
-
Group Administrators must use their Administrator rights following the Guidelines and not abuse them. This includes only sharing Administrator rights with responsible users and only withdrawing Administrator rights at the user’s request.
-
Form appropriate Groups only. For the sake of clarity the following are not appropriate Groups (this includes but is not limited to):
-
Sexually suggestive Groups, threads or related content.
-
Racist, Hate Speech, Homophobic or Sexist Groups, threads or related content
-
Bullying Groups, threads or related content
-
Suicide Groups, threads or related content
GoConqr reserves the right to take any action considered to be appropriate to maintain the health of the Groups and ensure the adequate moderation of Groups.
As an Administrator you warrant that you have the right to provide Examtime Limited with a list of the names of your Group Members. Additionally, you warrant to Examtime Limited that, should you choose to provide Examtime Limited with the email addresses of your Group Members, you have the right to do so.
As an Administrator you grant to Examtime Limited a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence during the term of this Agreement to use, copy and publicly display on the GoConqr site any logos or trademarked materials you specifically provide for your Group to Examtime Limited for use in providing the Groups service.
REPORTING
If you want to report something that goes against our Groups Guidelines (for example: nudity, hate speech, violence...), use the Report button near the comment to report it to us.
-
Reporting something doesn't guarantee that it will be removed because it may not violate GoConqr policies.
-
If you report content, please tell us why the content should be removed (e.g. is it bullying or hate speech?).
-
Our decisions may occasionally change after receiving additional context about specific posts or discussions.
-
The number of reports will not impact on the decision as to whether something will be removed. We won’t remove content simply because it has been reported a number of times.
Because of the diversity of our users, please be aware that something that may be disagreeable or unpleasant to you may not violate our Guidelines.
WARNINGS, SUSPENSIONS AND BANS
GoConqr reserve the right to close Groups, rename Groups, remove posts, lock discussions, remove discussions and/or ban members that post illegal materials.
At GoConqr we do all we can to enforce our Groups Guidelines with a fair and even hand. Whenever possible, a “warning” may be issued to alert a user that they are doing something wrong. If multiple warnings are necessary, or a user has shown a pattern of unacceptable behaviour, a suspension or ban may be applied at GoConqr’s discretion.
The consequences for violating our Groups Guidelines vary depending on the severity of the violation and the user’s history on GoConqr.
If you feel you’ve been wrongly warned, suspended or banned for your activity on GoConqr, or have a general question about the Groups Guidelines, please contact support@goconqr.com for assistance.
GROUP MAINTENANCE
GoConqr reserves the right to close inactive Groups, rename Groups, and/or remove inactive discussions from Groups to ensure easy access to information and maintain health of the Groups.
GoConqr has the right to update and change the Groups Guidelines and Terms and Conditions at any time. Members are responsible for re-reading the Groups Guidelines on a regular basis.
GoConqr is the Trading Name of Examtime Limited, 6a Carrickbrennan Road, Monkstown, Co Dublin, Ireland.
