OLOMOON, LDA. · NIPC 519639430
Version 1 — in force since 22 September 2026
English version. A Portuguese version of these documents is also available. For consumers resident in Portugal the Portuguese version prevails, pursuant to Article 7(3) of Law no. 24/96 of 31 July.
These Terms are entered into with OLOMOON, LDA., a private limited company with registered office at Rua da Saudade, n.º 8, 4th floor, parish of Santa Maria Maior, 1100-583 Lisbon, Portugal, registered with the Lisbon Commercial Registry under single registration and legal person number 519639430, with share capital of 10,000.00 € (hereinafter "Olomoon", "we" or the "Operator"), contactable at the email address info@olomoon.org and at the registered office address.
This information is provided in compliance with Article 10 of Decree-Law no. 7/2004 of 7 January.
By accessing the Services, creating an account, submitting or publishing a project, taking part in an event or clicking acceptance, the User accepts these Terms. Anyone acting for a team or entity warrants that they have authority to bind it.
The Privacy Policy, the Code of Conduct and the Notice and Action Procedure form an integral part of these Terms. Where an edition of the Challenge exists, its Rules will be published before entries open and will prevail, in respect of that edition only, over these Terms.
Olomoon complies with the duties of communication and information set out in Articles 5 and 6 of Decree-Law no. 446/85 of 25 October, making these Terms permanently available, accessible and downloadable before acceptance.
"Account" means a registered user profile. "Candidate" means a person who submits or is featured with a project. "Project" or "Submission" covers text, code, prompts, models, datasets, media, demos and supporting documentation. "Team" means two or more Candidates submitting together. "Representative" means the Team member authorised to act for all. "Challenge" means a competition organised by Olomoon. "Rules" means the rules of each edition. "Content" means all material uploaded, provided or published through the Services.
The Discovery programme is intended for individuals aged 18 to 25 on the applicable eligibility date. The Services are not intended for persons under 18, and minors may not create accounts.
Olomoon may request reliable evidence of identity, age, residence, contribution and project completion date, applying the data minimisation principle.
Account details must be accurate and up to date. The User is responsible for access credentials and for activity carried out through their Account, and must promptly report any unauthorised use. Deceptive or duplicate accounts, impersonation and transfer of an Account without consent are not permitted.
Operational communications are made electronically. Marketing communications depend on consent and on the conditions described in the Privacy Policy.
Each Team member must meet the eligibility requirements and accept the applicable documents. The Representative warrants that all members approved the Submission and authorised them to communicate, receive notices and, where applicable, receive a prize on the Team's behalf.
Olomoon does not determine ownership of rights or the allocation of prizes among members and does not arbitrate internal disputes; it may suspend review or payment until the dispute is resolved.
A Submission must be truthful, complete and demonstrable, and consistent with any videos and statements provided. The User must disclose prior work, material updates, outside assistance, funding, affiliations, metrics and third-party components.
It is prohibited to falsify identity, dates, users, impact, functionality, provenance, authorship or results; to submit materially identical work through undisclosed accounts or teams; to collude, sabotage, plagiarise or manipulate voting and evaluation; or to conceal contributors.
The User retains ownership of their Content. They warrant that they own the rights or hold all permissions necessary to submit, display, evaluate and license it, that all Team members have consented, and that the Content does not infringe third-party intellectual property, personality, confidentiality or contractual rights.
The User must identify and comply with all open-source, dataset, model, API and third-party licences, including non-commercial or copyleft restrictions.
Secrets, passwords, API keys, private repositories and confidential information must not be provided, except where a secure process expressly requests them. All executable code, links and demos must be reasonably safe and must not contain malware, destructive functions, undisclosed tracking or unauthorised access mechanisms.
Olomoon does not, as a rule, assume confidentiality obligations in respect of material submitted for publication, which is intended to be made public. In respect of material expressly identified as reserved, Olomoon undertakes not to disclose it or use it for purposes other than its assessment, and to restrict access to those who need it.
The foregoing is without prejudice to the statutory regime on trade secrets set out in Articles 313 et seq. of the Portuguese Industrial Property Code, and to duties arising from good faith.
Publication of a Candidate profile and the corresponding project requires prior, specific and revocable consent, given separately. Withdrawal of consent results in the profile being withdrawn from public access, in accordance with clause 12.
To enable the operation and promotion of the Services, the User grants Olomoon a royalty-free, non-exclusive licence, transferable to subcontractors, to host, store, reproduce, technically adapt, format, translate, subtitle, convert into accessible formats, display, communicate to the public and distribute the Content submitted for publication.
The licence is granted worldwide and for the period during which the profile remains published. As regards materials already used in communication activities and the record of closed editions, the licence remains in force for five years from their release. The licence is granted free of charge, in consideration of participation in the programme, and the Parties expressly rebut the presumption of onerousness in Article 41(2) of the Portuguese Copyright Code.
The licence does not extend to future works beyond the maximum statutory period, and is renewed with each new submission. The author's moral rights, in particular the rights of attribution and integrity, are reserved, and the author shall always be identified. Software and databases submitted are governed by their own regimes and are not covered by this licence, save by specific written agreement.
Use of a Candidate's name, image, voice or interviews requires separate written authorisation. That authorisation is freely revocable under Articles 79 to 81 of the Portuguese Civil Code.
The Candidate may at any time request that their profile and associated materials be withdrawn from public access. Olomoon will carry out that withdrawal within ten business days.
Withdrawal from public access means that the profile and materials cease to be displayed on Olomoon's site and cease to be indexed. It is distinct from erasure of personal data, which the Candidate may exercise under the Privacy Policy, without prejudice to retention required for compliance with legal obligations, for the establishment or defence of legal claims, or for the factual record of closed editions.
Olomoon cannot ensure the recovery of copies already disseminated by third parties or through channels it does not control. Where the Candidate has requested erasure, Olomoon takes reasonable steps to inform controllers processing that data of the request, under Article 17(2) of the General Data Protection Regulation.
Requests for rectification based on the General Data Protection Regulation are free of charge and subject to no limit.
Olomoon is a hosting service provider within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 and maintains an electronic, accessible contact point, which is not exclusively automated, at info@olomoon.org, for communications from authorities and from recipients of the service.
Prohibited conduct includes harassment, discrimination, threats, stalking, disclosure of other people's personal data, retaliation, hate speech, sexual abuse, impersonation, spam, automated data scraping, use of bots, vote manipulation, security attacks and unauthorised reverse engineering.
Moderation combines reports received, human review and, where applicable, automated detection tools. Restriction decisions are subject to human review before becoming final.
Whenever Olomoon removes content, restricts its visibility, or suspends or terminates an Account, it provides the affected recipient with a statement of reasons, setting out the facts, the contractual or legal basis, whether automated means were used and the redress available.
Editorial selection of projects for publication is distinct from moderation and is a discretionary decision of Olomoon, conferring no right to publication.
Any person may report content they consider illegal through the electronic mechanism available at olomoon.org/report. The report must state the reasons, the exact location of the content, the reporter's contact details and a statement of good faith.
Olomoon acknowledges receipt without delay, considers the report in a diligent, non-arbitrary and objective manner, and informs the reporter of its decision and of the redress available.
Assessment under Discovery is selective and editorial in nature. Publication, review, badges or commentary do not constitute certification, fact-checking, technical validation, investment advice, legal clearance, security approval, warranty or endorsement, nor do they create any expectation of eligibility for a Challenge.
Anyone who contacts, engages, funds or otherwise deals with a Candidate through the Services must carry out their own due diligence. Olomoon is not liable for decisions taken on that basis.
Olomoon may organise competitions designated as a Challenge. No Challenge is currently open, and these Terms do not constitute a public promise of a prize.
Each edition, when it exists, will be governed by its own Rules, published before entries open, which must state the deadline for entries, the assessment criteria, the identity of the jury or of the person appointing it, objective tie-breaking criteria, the prizes and the conditions for their award.
Olomoon may change the Services for technical, security, legal compliance, service evolution or economic viability reasons. Changes adversely affecting the User's access will be notified with reasonable advance notice, on a durable medium, at no cost to the User, who may terminate the relationship as provided by law.
Permanent discontinuation of the Services will be notified at least thirty days in advance, and the User will be given the means to retrieve their Content.
This clause complies with Decree-Law no. 84/2021 of 18 October, which applies because the User provides personal data in exchange for access.
The Services are provided at no cost to the User. Olomoon does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access, nor any particular outcome, including selection, publication, funding, introductions, employment or commercial success.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits rights available to the User under mandatory law, including Decree-Law no. 84/2021 and consumer protection legislation.
To the extent permitted by law, Olomoon's total liability to each User, for all events occurring in any twelve-month period, shall not exceed 1,500.00 € (one thousand five hundred euros) for consumers and 3,000.00 € (three thousand euros) for professional users.
The cap set out above does not apply to liability for non-contractual damage to property, liability for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, damage to life, physical integrity or health, unlawful processing of personal data, or any other case in which limitation is prohibited, in particular under Article 18 of Decree-Law no. 446/85.
Olomoon is not liable for third-party use of published Content, nor for the acts of sponsors, mentors, judges, service providers or other independent parties.
Third-party sites, APIs, cloud services, sponsors, mentors and linked entities are governed by their own terms. References do not imply endorsement or recommendation.
Processing of personal data is governed by the Privacy Policy, which identifies the controller, purposes, legal bases, recipients, retention periods, international transfers and data subject rights.
Participation in the Services does not create an employment, agency, mandate, partnership or investment relationship. Participation in Discovery, Stories or the Community confers no right to remuneration or reimbursement of expenses, save for a prize expressly provided for in Rules or a separate written agreement.
These Terms are governed by Portuguese law. Where the User is a consumer habitually resident in another State, the choice of law does not deprive them of the protection of the mandatory rules of the law of their country of habitual residence, under Article 6 of Regulation (EC) no. 593/2008.
Disputes are submitted to the Portuguese courts. Where the User is a consumer domiciled in another Member State of the European Union, they may sue Olomoon, and may only be sued, in the courts of their Member State of domicile, under Articles 17 to 19 of Regulation (EU) no. 1215/2012.
In the event of a consumer dispute, and under Article 18 of Law no. 144/2015 of 8 September, the consumer may refer the matter to the following alternative dispute resolution entities: the Lisbon Consumer Disputes Arbitration Centre (CACCL), Rua dos Douradores, n.º 116, 2.º, 1100-207 Lisbon, www.centroarbitragemlisboa.pt; and the National Consumer Disputes Information and Arbitration Centre (CNIACC), with residual jurisdiction throughout Portugal, www.cniacc.pt.
The updated list of alternative dispute resolution entities may be consulted at www.consumidor.gov.pt. Olomoon has not adhered to, and is not required to adhere to, any alternative dispute resolution entity, without prejudice to the consumer's right to refer a matter to them.
An electronic complaints book is available at www.livroreclamacoes.pt, under Decree-Law no. 156/2005 of 15 September.
The invalidity of one clause does not affect the remainder. Forbearance is not a waiver. The User may not assign its position without consent; Olomoon may do so upon a transfer of the Services or a corporate reorganisation, with prior notice.
These Terms are drawn up in Portuguese and English. In the event of divergence, the Portuguese version prevails as regards consumers resident in Portugal.
