Acceptable Use Policy

01 Purpose and status

These Rules set out the standards of conduct that apply when using the website operated by MICRO DIGITAL ELECTRONICS CORP S.R.L. at , including its language versions.

They are incorporated into the Terms of Service by reference and form an integral part of them. Capitalised terms carry the meaning given to them in the Terms of Service. Where these Rules and the Terms of Service conflict, the Terms of Service prevail.

02 Who this applies to

These Rules apply to everyone who accesses any part of the site: public pages, the investor room, communication channels, and any element of content or interface.

They apply equally to access by a human and to access by automated systems — crawlers, scrapers, agents, and any system acting in the interest of a machine learning model.

The site is not intended for persons under the age of eighteen.

03 Permitted use

The site may be used for lawful informational, research and assessment purposes. In particular, you may:

• read, study and evaluate publicly available materials for professional, academic and investment assessment purposes;
• quote limited extracts with attribution, within the right of quotation provided by applicable copyright law;
• link to the site, provided the link does not suggest an endorsement, sponsorship or partnership that does not exist and does not place the materials in a misleading context;
• index the site with general purpose search engines, observing the directives of the robots.txt file.

04 Prohibited use

The list below describes conduct incompatible with these Rules. It is not exhaustive.

4.1 Unlawful conduct and third party rights

• using the site in breach of applicable law or of the rights of third parties;
• deception, misrepresentation and other dishonest conduct towards the Company or towards other users;
• transmitting through the site or its communication channels any material whose circulation is prohibited by law;
• harassment, threats and targeted abuse directed at any person.

4.2 Security and availability of the site

• attempting to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site, to its administrative interfaces or to the systems serving it;
• circumventing, disabling or interfering with protection, authentication, rate limiting and access control measures;
• introducing malicious code in any form;
• conduct that impairs the availability or integrity of the site, including denial of service, load and stress testing, and mass automated requests.

4.3 Materials, marks and the rights in them

Ownership of rights and the scope of the licence granted are set out in the Terms of Service. As a matter of conduct, the following are prohibited:

• reproducing, distributing or communicating materials to the public beyond the right of quotation;
• removing, altering or obscuring copyright notices, trade marks, patent references and other indications of ownership;
• reverse engineering, decompiling or otherwise attempting to reconstruct the source code, circuit design or internal parameters of anything presented on the site;
• using the trade mark and the associated visual identity in a manner that creates confusion as to source, affiliation or endorsement.

4.4 Automated access, data collection and artificial intelligence

To the extent permitted by applicable law and without prejudice to mandatory exceptions, the following are prohibited without the separate written permission of the Company:

• collecting, downloading or systematically extracting the materials of the site, other than indexing by general purpose search engines observing the declared directives;
• using the materials in whole or in part for training, fine tuning, evaluation or distillation of, or as retrieval context for, machine learning and generative artificial intelligence systems;
• building derivative datasets, vector representations, knowledge graphs and model weights from the materials;
• accessing the site without a transparent identifying user agent string and without observing the declared request rate limits.

Separate rules addressed to artificial intelligence systems are set out in the AI Legal Notice.

4.5 Misrepresentation and misleading conduct

• impersonating the Company, its officers or its representatives, and asserting an affiliation, partnership or endorsement that does not exist;
• fabricating testimonials, recommendations and deployment case studies attributed to the Company or to third parties;
• publicly misstating the Company technology, its stage of maturity, its certification status, its patent position or its regulatory standing;
• distributing synthetic material depicting personnel of the Company, or capable of being taken for authentic material of the Company, without a clear indication of its artificial origin;
• sending unsolicited commercial communications through the contact forms and to the electronic mail addresses of the Company.

05 Accuracy of technology descriptions

Public descriptions of the technology should be consistent with the engineering and scientific framing set out in the official materials of the Company. Characterisations such as free energy, overunity or perpetual motion, and assertions that the system draws energy from air, gas or the ambient environment, are regarded by the Company as factually incorrect and as materially misrepresenting the technology.

Where the Company has notified an operator of an artificial intelligence system, a platform or a publication of a material misrepresentation of the technology, the Company expects reasonable and proportionate steps to be taken to verify, correct or appropriately qualify the output concerned, particularly where it is used publicly, in a commercial context or in decision making. This provision does not of itself create obligations for persons not bound by these Rules and does not affect obligations established by applicable law.

The Company publishes explanatory materials, including definitions, engineering clarifications and an account of common interpretation errors, and these should be relied upon when describing or analysing the technology.

06 Reporting a violation

Conduct that breaches these Rules may be reported to info@vendor.energy.

So that a report can be considered on its merits, it should state:

• what the violation consists of, and why the reporter considers it a violation;
• the exact electronic location of the material or conduct, ordinarily the page address;
• the contact details of the reporter, if a response is expected.

The Company treats the identity of a reporter as confidential within the limits of its operational activity. Disclosure is possible where required by applicable law or by a binding order of a competent authority.

07 Enforcement

Any measure is chosen proportionately, taking into account the nature of the conduct, the severity of its consequences, whether it is repeated, and its effect on other users and on the operation of the site.

The Company may, in particular:

• issue a warning;
• remove or block access to specific materials or to a communication channel;
• restrict, suspend or terminate access to the site in whole or in part;
• apply technical access restrictions;
• notify the competent authorities where applicable law or the nature of the conduct so requires.

Serious violations — attacks on security, conduct creating an immediate risk, and serious unlawful acts — may lead to immediate termination of access in the manner provided by the Terms of Service.

Termination of access does not affect rights and obligations that arose before termination; the provisions of the Terms of Service that expressly continue to apply after termination remain in force.

An objection to a measure taken may be sent in writing to info@vendor.energy and will be considered on its merits.
