Terms and Conditions Panel
This panel enables you to define standard terms and conditions for the usage of
your Mix services. You may also use these terms for selling JonDonym coupon
codes.
Typical usage
- Load the currently available templates using the "InfoService..."
button.
- Add translations for the languages that you would like to support.
- Click on the "Preview" button in order to see the template contents. Then
choose the right template(s) for your jurisdiction.
- Add the missing information about your organisation.
- Select each of your translations, export each of the related templates
into a file, copy these template files to your Mix server and edit the
template paths so that they point to their paths on your Mix server.
If you have more than one Mix, you do not need to repeat all these steps:
just click on "Load from config" to load the terms and condition settings from
another one of your Mix configurations.
Template
You may install one ore more templates for your terms and conditions. The
templates contain complete terms and condition texts and are available for
different languages and jurisdictions. If you have an online access, you may
download the currently available templates from the InfoServices. You may also
import them from a file.
The templates themselves will not be stored in your Mix configuration. The
configuration stores only references to the template IDs, and a URI to the
storage path of the template. For each template, you have to specify a URI
where the Mix may get it from on startup. It is recommended
that you store the template(s) that you want to use in a file on your Mix
server, and that you specify the path to this file / these files for each
respective template.
- Delete
Deletes the selected template.
- InfoService...
Loads all available templates from the InfoServices. The URIs for your
templates that you have defined will not change if you reload them
here.
- File...
Loads the templates of your choice from local files. You will not need this
function if you can get a connection to the InfoServices (see above). The
URIs for your templates that you have defined will not change if you reload
them here.
- Export
Exports the selected template to a local file. This is highly
recommended for the templates of your choice. Put these templates
somewhere on your Mix server, so that the Mix has them always available.
This option is only available if the template is loaded.
Translation
The translations are your concrete definitions of terms and conditions. They
define the languages in which you will provide your terms and conditions to the
users. You may edit the text of each translation and thereby change the
template(s) so that they optimally fit to your needs. Note that the
templates are available for a few languages and jurisdictions only. If
you would like to have templates for other languages or other jurisdictions,
you might want to create and publish them over the JonDonym system.
For each translation, a template exists. Please note that, if you
select anther template in the template panel on the left side, your translation
will immediatly change its content. You therefore should make a
preview of your terms and conditions for each language before publishing it.
Unlike the templates, switching between the languages/translations does not
change anything in your configuration.
- Language
The language of the currently edited translation. You may switch between
your different translations here.
- Delete
Deletes the selected translation and the changes that you have done to
it.
- Add
Lets you choose the language for a new translation.
- Default
Sets the default language that the user gets shown if no translation for
his language is available. Typically, you should not need this button and
let the default staying on "english".
- Preview (also allows you to save the document to a file)
Shows the translation in an HTML document and allows you to save this
translation to a file.
Operator description (general)
Some information that will be part of your terms and conditions are extracted
from your Operator certificate. Please enter the missing information here.
Please enter at least "Street", "ZIP/City" and "Venue". The other information
is optional if you do not have it. The information given here will be
the default for all translations.
Operator description in ...
For each translation, you may enter specific information about yu that will
overwrite the general information if given. This might be a good idea for
example for locations that are differently written in other languages.
- Edit content
This button opens an edit dialog. You may then delete, add and alter all
sections and paragraphs of your terms and conditions. Please note that you
should, before making any changes to the tempaltes, consult a lawyer.
- Import settings
Loads all terms-and-conditions-settings from another mix configuration or an XML-file that contains a valid options node. This is very useful
if you have already configured settings in another mix configuration file or if you want to use a file where the most important
settings are already specified such as this one .
