1. Introduction and Acceptance
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern user (“you or “your”)) access to and use of the ModVOS App (the “App”), its features, and related services provided by Modveon Team (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account, accessing, or using any part of the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the App.
The App provides a verified, civic-engagement platform where officials can interact through location-based communities, official announcements, and posts. It is designed for authentic, respectful participation verified through government-issued identification.
2. Eligibility and Account Creation
Eligibility Requirements
You must be a natural person of legal age permitted to hold a government-issued DUI (Documento Único de Identidad) or equivalent national ID to use the App. Users under the age threshold established by applicable law may not register or use the App.
Account Registration and Verification
- —Account creation occurs exclusively through DUI verification.
- —Each DUI corresponds to a single user account; duplicate or shared accounts are prohibited.
- —The App automatically assigns you to your national and municipal communities based on your verified address.
- —If the address in your DUI record is outdated or incorrect, your access will be limited to the national community until the address is updated through the proper government process and re-authenticated.
Accuracy of Information
All information retrieved from government databases is treated as authoritative. You may edit only those profile fields explicitly enabled in the App (e.g., profile photo or bio). Providing false or misleading information or attempting to impersonate another individual violates these Terms.
Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and any session credentials used to access the App, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your user account. Do not share your login session or allow unauthorized use. It is recommended that you periodically change your login credentials through the App, or with the assistance of our customer service platform, as allowed by our security requirements. We may institute additional or optional security measures to ensure the security of the App and/or communications between you and us. We are not liable for loss or damage arising from unauthorized access resulting from your failure to secure your device.
3. Use of the App
Permitted Use
You must use the App solely for lawful, civic-engagement purposes consistent with its design: participation in verified national, municipal, and user-generated communities; viewing official announcements; and contributing responsible, respectful content. You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, the Terms, and any other agreement or disclosure relating to the App and any transaction or functions performed using the App.
Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
- —Violate any applicable law or regulation;
- —Attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems, APIs, or data;
- —Post or distribute spam, misleading information, or malware;
- —Harass, defame, or threaten others;
- —Engage in hate speech, discrimination, or incitement of violence;
- —Impersonate government officials or other users;
- —Circumvent community access restrictions, moderation decisions, or verification processes;
- —Collect, scrape, or reuse data from the App without written authorization.
If you violate any of these rules, it may lead to content removal, community bans, or permanent account suspension as described in Section 9.
Technical Requirements
You must use compatible devices and maintain a stable internet connection to access the App. Some App features may depend on device permissions (camera, notifications, etc.). You are responsible for related data or carrier charges. We are not responsible for any problems you may experience with your equipment or for any damage to your device from the use of the App. You understand that devices may be subject to viruses, and we are not responsible for ensuring your device is protected from these viruses.
“Coming Soon” and Beta Features
Certain modules such as Wallet, Complaint Center, or Messaging may display “Coming Soon.” These are inactive informational placeholders and do not create any service obligation until officially launched.
4. Community Participation and Conduct
Community Structure
- —You will be automatically joined to your verified National and Municipalities.
- —If you are eligible, you may create or join additional User-Generated Communities (UGCs) at your municipal or district level.

Posting and Interaction
- —Citizens may post within their municipal and user-generated communities.
- —Government officials may post in their official capacity within assigned communities or at the national level along with user-generated communities they are part of.

- —All users may comment and react to permitted posts unless suspended.
Moderation and Compliance
- —Each community may be moderated by its creator, assigned moderators, or government-designated supervisors.
- —Government Super Moderators may review, edit, or remove any content or community to maintain platform compliance and legal integrity.
- —Reported content is subject to review; actions are logged for transparency.
Respectful Participation
You must treat all participants including government officials with civility. Your content must be factual, respectful, and free from harassment, misinformation, or hate speech.
Your failure to maintain respectful conduct may result in removal of content, temporary suspension, or permanent loss of access.
Community Creation Responsibilities
If you create a UGC:
- —You must select a municipal or district scope, which cannot later be changed.
