EVOKA END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

Last updated: Wednesday, June 5, 2025

This End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legally binding agreement between:

  • Evoka, represented by Francesco Orlandi and Cristiano Ciuti, as co-owners of the project, hereinafter referred to as “Evoka”;
  • and the natural or legal person who purchases a license to use the Evoka application (“Licensee” or “Organizer”).

This Agreement exclusively governs the use of the App by the Licensee, who may create private events and make the App accessible to other users (each referred to as “User”) under their own responsibility.

Each User who accesses the App during an event is not party to this Agreement, but may view and accept the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy provided by Evoka upon access.

Use of the App by the Licensee implies full acceptance of the terms of this Agreement. If the Licensee does not accept, use of the App is not authorized.

1. USE OF THE APP

1.1 Purpose: Evoka is a private social platform where Users can upload multimedia content with captions. Content is displayed in a live feed of the event, accessible to other participants. 

1.2 User Authentication: Users must enter a unique event PIN to access the App and must provide a username for identification. User authentication is mandatory to ensure controlled access.

1.3 User-Generated Content: Users are fully responsible for uploaded content. Any content shared in the App is visible to all event participants.

1.4 Prohibited Conduct: Users must not upload offensive, illegal, defamatory, or explicit content. The App employs an explicit content detection mechanism to prevent the upload of such material, but Users remain fully responsible for the content they upload.

1.5 Event Closure: Events on Evoka are temporary. Multimedia content is retained for a maximum of thirty (30) days after the license expires, during which time the User may download an archive of the multimedia content only. After this period, such content is permanently deleted.

1.6 Sharing Restrictions: Users may not share images outside of the App, except by sharing a direct link to the image, which remains within the controlled event environment. Any attempt to bypass this restriction, including but not limited to screenshots or external sharing, is strictly prohibited. Evoka assumes no responsibility for such unauthorized actions.

2. USER RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1 Content Ownership: The User retains full ownership of uploaded content. However, they grant Evoka a temporary license to display and store their content within the App for the duration of the license.

2.2 Responsibility for Misuse: The Licensee is fully responsible for any misuse of the App, including but not limited to unauthorized screenshots, external image sharing, or uploading inappropriate content.

2.3 Legal Compliance: The Licensee is required to comply with applicable personal data protection laws. Uploading multimedia content portraying identifiable individuals without their consent may constitute a violation of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

2.4 Licensee Liability: Any legal consequences arising from misuse of the App are the sole responsibility of the Licensee, as the Data Controller.

3. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND DISCLAIMER

3.1 No Warranty: The App is provided “as is” with no warranty, express or implied. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service or error-free operation.

3.2 Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability for:

  • Content uploaded by Users;
  • Unauthorized use of images by Users;
  • Temporary unavailability or interruption of the App.

3.3 Indemnification: The Licensee agrees to indemnify and hold Evoka harmless from any claim, damage, liability, cost, or legal consequence arising from the use of the App by themselves or Users under their responsibility.

3.4 Right to Terminate Access: Evoka reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or revoke access to the App, whether for a User or the Licensee, at any time and without notice if a violation of this Agreement is found or if activities are undertaken that may compromise the security, integrity of the service, or compliance with applicable regulations.

This section aligns with Directive 2000/31/EC (E-Commerce Directive) and Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act).

4. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT

4.1 Evoka reserves the right to amend this Agreement at any time to ensure compliance with evolving laws and operational needs. The Licensee will be informed of any significant changes.

4.2 Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

evoka.app

Our website uses exclusively technical cookies, for the following purposes:

  • improving the user experience,
  • facilitating navigation,
  • managing authentication,
  • collecting statistical data (e.g., number of site visitors).

The use of these cookies is essential for the proper functioning of the service and does not require user consent.

What are cookies

A cookie is a small text file that is saved on the user's computer or device when they visit a website. Its purpose is to store useful information that will be read and updated each time the user returns to the same site. In practice, the cookie acts as a reminder of the user’s interactions with the site.

When a user visits a website, the web server sends the cookie to the browser (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.), which stores it on the device. This allows the website to automatically adjust to the user during future visits—for example, by remembering browsing preferences.

While browsing, the user may also receive cookies from other websites (known as "third-party cookies"), which are set by entities other than the website being visited. These cookies are used for specific purposes defined by those third parties.


Technical cookies

Technical cookies are used to ensure the website functions correctly. They are used, for example, to:

  • authenticate the user,
  • maintain an active browsing session,
  • remember certain preferences (such as language settings).

User consent is not required for the use of technical cookies, as they are essential to providing the requested service.

Analytics cookies also fall under this category. These cookies collect anonymous, aggregated information about how users interact with the site (e.g., most visited pages, errors encountered, etc.). This data helps improve the quality and usability of the site.

Profiling cookies

Profiling cookies are used to collect information about the user’s browsing behavior, such as:

  • visited pages,
  • viewed or purchased products,
  • content consumed.

The goal is to create user profiles in order to display personalized advertising based on their interests.

The use of these cookies requires the user’s explicit and informed consent, in accordance with Article 7 of EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) and applicable national laws.

Third-party cookies

Some web pages may contain elements from other websites (such as ads, videos, maps, or social media buttons). These elements may generate cookies managed by third parties, different from the owner of the visited site.

These third-party cookies are often used for profiling and marketing purposes, and they also require the user's prior and informed consent.
