5. Description of the Service Offered

The Site provides a business-to-business networking platform through which Customers access a global network of Partners and is dedicated to companies, self-employed professionals and possessors of VAT identification number.

The Site proposes a number of Partners specializing in legal, tax, customs, marketing and internationalization consultancy who assist the Customer and/or other Partners registered on the Site inside the chosen areas of expertise. Customers who purchase one or more hours of video consultations will be able to send one or more initial video consultation requests to be scheduled with the selected partner/s. The video consultation will become possible after five days from the moment of the scheduling and will take place through the online video conferencing platform offered by the Site.

6. Cookies

OONE S.R.L. reserves the right to place cookies on the Customer’s computer for the purpose of the use of the services. Cookies are small data files placed on your hard disk by the majority of the internet sites so that you are identified easily when you revisit the site. The information collected by cookies is used solely for internal purposes and is never transmitted to third parties.

7. Technical Requirements

The Oone platform works both on home computers, PCs and mobile devices. Users need to have access to an Internet connection that will provide qualitative images and sound for the video consultation or call, a webcam that is compatible with the Internet provider in use and a working microphone. To make the most of OONE's functionalities, we recommend using Chrome. 2 Mbps or more are recommended for a quality video call. Failure to comply with these criteria may result in extra hours awarded to Customers due to lack of quality in the technical performance of the Partner.

If a Customer or a Partner connect to start a video consultation or call and have a poor Internet connection (or if it fails), they can ask to be guided by our support team (active from Monday to Friday 9am-4pm CET) via the chat on the site. A few general guidelines should be followed for standard troubleshooting. Both the Customer and the Partner shall confirm that they are using Chrome. If that is so, they shall both close and reopen the browser closing previously any other running programs or windows. The Customer and the Partner shall both confirm that they have allowed access to the use of their webcam and microphone via the web browser. If the inability to connect still persists, the Customer and the Partner will communicate the problem to our support team via the chat on the site or by sending an email to support@oone.eu. Oone shall subsequently reschedule a new video consultation suitable both for the Customer and the Partner.

If the Customer is unhappy with any video consultation he shall report his concerns to us within 48 hours from the end of the unsatisfactory video consultation by writing an email to support@oone.eu. We shall then investigate these concerns and, if appropriate, arrange a refund. Our decision in this regard is final and binding. Any unlawful behaviour of both the Customer and Partner will be reported to the appropriate institution.

8. Registration

In order to take part in a Oone Service, Users will be required to register with us. Any personal information supplied to us as part of this registration process and/or any other interaction with us will be collected, stored and used in accordance with our privacy policy. The User agrees to update the details given at the time of registration as necessary without delay.

The rights of access to and use of the services are non-transferable. The User is recognised by an identifier and a password for which he/she is entirely responsible; he/she also agrees to keep the constituent parts of the identifier secret and not divulge them to anyone.

Users must register with a valid personal email address. If a User registers with someone else’s email address, or with a temporary email address, then his registration may be terminated without notice. If there is a suspicion that an invalid email address is being used, Users may be asked to revalidate their registration. OONE S.R.L. reserves the right to terminate a registration if any User is seen to be using proxy IPs (Internet Protocol addresses) in order to hide the use of registrations.

Registration can also be made through Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+. By registering through Facebook, LinkedIn or Google+, the User agrees to the Terms and Conditions hereby presented. Oone and its mobile version will not post on your behalf on Facebook, LinkedIn or Google+, only public profile information and email address will be taken in order to validly register on the Oone platform.

Users agree to use the instant messaging service available during the video consultations and calls in accordance with the following rules (hereafter “the Rules”):

• No disruptive, offensive or abusive behaviour: contributions must be constructive and polite, not mean-spirited or contributed with the intention of causing trouble.
• No unlawful or objectionable conduct: unlawful, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, racially offensive or otherwise objectionable material is not acceptable.

• No impersonation is allowed: the User agrees not to create a false identity; if the User should log in with unauthorized Facebook username and password belonging to third parties or which do not correspond to real identity of the User, the account will be immediately terminated.
• Any inappropriate (e.g. vulgar, offensive etc.) user names will not be approved. OONE S.R.L. reserves the right to terminate or to reject a username for whatever reason.

It is strictly prohibited to submit or share material with the intention of committing or promoting an illegal act.

If a User fails to respect the Rules (and any variations thereto) he will be sent an email which informs him why he has breached the Rules and a warning that continuing to break the Rules may result in action being taken against him. This action may include the temporary or permanent suspension of his ability to participate in any Oone Service. If we consider such breach of the Rules to be serious and/or repeated, we may use whatever information that is available to us about the User to stop any further such breaches. This may include informing relevant third parties such as the police, his employer or email provider about the infringement. We reserve the right to take action against any User or any account, at any time, for any reason. We also reserve the right to terminate a registration if a User disrupts any of our services in any way.

Customers will have to buy one or more hours in advance for the Oone Service. Payment can only be made through credit, prepaid and debit cards or Paypal. We are unable to accept cash, cheques or bank transfers.
