User Agreement

By accessing and using this service, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this agreement. In addition, when using these particular services, you shall be subject to the posted Commitments for Platform Usage below. Any participation in this service will constitute acceptance of this agreement. If you do not agree to abide by the above, please do not use this service.

Our Commitment to Privacy

6DOS believes that privacy is critically important. This statement sets forth the 6DOS policy and describes the practices that we follow with respect to the privacy of the information of users of this site.  As stated in our mission, your information and data is yours and not for sale.

What Personal Information We Collect

6DOS collects your personal information when you voluntarily provide it to us. If you choose to sign up, we ask you to provide limited personal information, such as your name and email address. We also collect information that will allow you to establish a password.

How We Use Personal Information That We Collect Online

Internally, we may use your personal information provided to 6DOS: (1) to provide you with the services you request; (2) to answer questions about our services; billing, payment methods or use of our website; (3) to process or collect payments for our services, (4) to conduct customer surveys; and (5) to contact you about the services that we offer.

Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties

We will not disclose any personal information to any third party (excluding our contractors to whom we may provide such information for the limited purpose of providing services to us and who are obligated to keep the information confidential), unless (1) you have authorized us to do so; (2) we are legally required to do so, for example, in response to a subpoena, court order or other legal process and/or, (3) it is necessary to protect our property rights related to this website. We also may share aggregate, non-personal information about website usage with unaffiliated third parties. This aggregate information does not contain any personal information about our users.

How We Protect Information Online

We exercise great care to protect your personal information. This includes, among other things, using industry standard techniques such as firewalls, encryption, and intrusion detection. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us. This is especially true for information you transmit to us via email since we have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us since email does not have the security features that are built into our websites.

Your Commitment

Being authentic and forthright is fundamental to the core value of 6DOS. To use the platform, you agree that you will only have one 6DOS account which must be in your real name. Creating an account with false information is a violation of our terms.

Your Account

You will not share an account with anyone else and will follow our rules and the law.  Users are account holders. You agree to: (1) try to choose a strong and secure password; (2) keep your password secure and confidential; (3) not transfer any part of your account (e.g., connections). You are responsible for anything that happens through your account unless you close it or report misuse.

As between you and others (including your employer), your account belongs to you. 6DOS reserves the right to terminate your account if you are found in violation of the rules of this user agreement.

Messages

Messages sent and received on the 6DOS platform are a fundamental part of our value. Articulating your requests in a professional manner is key. We expect users to behave like professionals. Users who are deemed to be “spamming” will be considered in violation of the usage terms and given strikes by their peers.

Users in Violation of Commitments

We have a strictly enforced three strikes and you are out policy. Upon the first violation (three strikes) of the user commitments, the user will be banned from the platform for one week. Upon the second violation (three more strikes), the user will be banned for one month. Upon the third violation (final three strikes), the user will be permanently banned from the platform.

Payment

6DOS makes money by charging a monthly fee to all users.  This is how we remain operational because we never sell your data and don’t plan allow advertisements on the platform.  Many times, a user’s monthly fee will be paid for by their employer. If a user leaves an employer who was paying the fee, the user can continue using the platform so long as he/she continues to pay the monthly fee themselves.

Changes to the User Agreement

We may make changes to this User Agreement. If we make material changes to it, we will provide you notice to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. We agree that changes cannot be retroactive. If you object to any changes, you may close your account.  Your continued use of the platform after we publish or send a notice about our changes to these terms means that you are consenting to the updated terms.
