Private messages may be scanned by automated programs or examined upon complaint from the Members who received the messages. If deemed necessary as a result of this automated scanning or an investigation following a complaint, the Member's profile may be removed from publication, their messaging rights may be restricted, completely blocked, or their membership may be entirely cancelled. While Mio bears no responsibility in such a situation, Mio reserves the right of recourse against the Member for any damages Mio may incur.

In the event that an unauthorized use is detected in this context, Mio reserves the right to pursue legal remedies. Each Member acknowledges and declares that all rights to images, texts, visual and auditory representations, video clips, files, databases, catalogs, and lists on Mio are reserved. The Member accepts and undertakes that they will not reproduce, copy, distribute, or process these reserved materials, and will not compete directly and/or indirectly with Mio through these actions or by other means.
Mio cannot be held directly and/or indirectly liable in any way for damages suffered or potentially suffered by third parties due to activities carried out by Members on the site in violation of the provisions of this Agreement and the law. The Member may cancel their membership at any time by clicking the "Leave Membership" link in the Account > Settings > Account Settings section. However, even if the membership is cancelled for Gold memberships, the membership fee will not be refunded. Site membership is an individual membership and may not be used by companies and/or businesses for any commercial or other purpose, may not be transferred to third parties, or lent. If this situation is detected, the Member's membership shall be cancelled. Mio cannot be held responsible in any way for the consequences arising from the cancellation of membership. For payments made by credit card for the Gold Membership package, the purchased package will be automatically renewed when the package period expires to prevent interruption of membership. The current status of the automatic payment is presented to the Member in the "Settings" section on the Site. If the Member does not want renewal or wishes to perform the renewal themselves at the end of the period, they can turn off the "automatic payment" option on the site. The automatic payment process only covers payments made by credit card and mobile payment and becomes active with the first valid membership purchase. The Member has the right to turn off this automatically occurring process from the "Settings" section on the Site at their own will. The Mio Premium Membership sale process operates under the exceptions to the right of withdrawal defined in Article 15 of the Distance Contracts Regulation, under heading (g). However, miosocial.app refunds the payment to members who purchase Gold membership by bank transfer or credit card but are not satisfied with the site and request a refund "within 3 days." Each member can benefit from this right only once. No refund will be made for purchased memberships beyond this scope.
5. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MIO
Mio reserves the right to change the services and content offered on the site at any time; to close access to and delete information, content, and member profiles uploaded to the system by members and that do not comply with the conditions specified in this Agreement, including to members and third parties.

Changes and/or corrections requested by Mio may be made directly by Mio if deemed necessary. All damages, legal and criminal liabilities arising or potentially arising from the failure of members to fulfill the change and/or correction requests made by Mio in a timely manner are entirely the responsibility of the Members themselves. Mio has no responsibility regarding the portals, websites, files, and content accessed through redirections (links, banners) on the Site, or the services or products offered by portals or websites accessed through these links, or their content.
