Terms of Service

The site presents the citizen movement Passerelles Mauritanie, its Passerelles, projects, news and events, and gives members a space to join, take part, vote, share documents and contribute. It is published by the Passerelles Mauritanie association, Nouakchott, Islamic Republic of Mauritania.

• Registration is open to adults who share the values of the Charter. Information you provide must be accurate and kept up to date.
• Applications are reviewed by the Secretariat; members-only content opens after approval.
• Your account is personal: do not share it; you are responsible for its use.
• Roles (member, Passerelle lead, editor, Secretariat, Bureau, administrator) and document access levels are granted by the association according to each function’s needs.

• Choose a long, unique password (at least 12 characters) and never share it — the association will never ask for it.
• We recommend turning on two-step verification, strongly advised for Bureau and administration roles.
• Report any suspicious use promptly to contact@passerellesmauritanie.com.
• You must not bypass access controls, test the site’s security without written permission, automate sign-ups or sign-ins, or harvest member data.

Exchanges (comments, messages, proposals, documents) must remain respectful, lawful, consistent with the Charter and the movement’s non-partisan nature. Forbidden in particular: insulting, defamatory, discriminatory or hateful content; partisan propaganda; spam and advertising; breaching others’ privacy or intellectual property; publishing third parties’ personal data. Moderators may hide content and the association may suspend an account under the Internal Rules.

You keep ownership of what you post. You grant the association a free, non-exclusive licence to host, display and share it for its activities, for the duration of your membership and in its archives. You confirm you hold the rights to the content and files you share.

Documents are classified by access level (public, members, leads, Bureau, administrators). A restricted document must not be shared outside its circle without the Bureau’s consent. The association’s official positions are expressed only by mandated persons (Internal Rules, art. 11).

• Online payments are processed by Stripe; the association neither sees nor stores your card data.
• Dues amounts are set by the General Assembly.
• Donations fund the association’s activities; their use is reported on the Transparency page and to members.
• A donation is normally final; for an obvious error (amount, duplicate), contact us within 30 days for a refund.

The name, logo, emblem, texts, visuals, photographs and design of the site are protected. Any reproduction or reuse beyond personal use requires the association’s written consent, unless stated otherwise (e.g. public documents shared for distribution).

We do our best to keep the site available, accurate and secure, but cannot guarantee it at all times. The site is provided “as is”. To the extent permitted by law, the association is not liable for indirect damages arising from its use, service interruptions or content published by third parties. Links to external sites are not endorsements.

You can delete your account at any time from “My data”. The association may suspend or close an account for breach of these terms, the Charter or the Internal Rules, after inviting the person to explain themselves, except in urgent cases.

How we handle your data is described in the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy.

These terms may change. The update date appears at the top of the page; significant changes are announced to members. Continuing to use the site after publication means you accept them.

These terms are governed by Mauritanian law. In a dispute we favour an amicable solution, including the mediation provided for in the Statutes; failing that, the courts of Nouakchott have jurisdiction, subject to mandatory consumer-protection rules in your country of residence.
