INTRODUCTION
"NOX – The Social Alarm Clock" is an innovative social network based on the new concept of the personalized alarm clock. The Application allows its Users to create, send, receive and watch short videos – called "nox" – intended to wake up in a fun and interactive way. The principle of NOX is to create a new global and intergenerational space of creation and expression transforming the moment of awakening into a social and entertaining experience.
NOX exists only in the form of a mobile application designed, created, developed and published by the French company LAPSUS, a simplified joint-stock company with a capital of €12,000, whose registered office is located at 10 rue Louis Amiot, 01000 Bourg-en-Bresse, registered with the Bourg-en-Bresse Trade and Companies Register under number 879 161 818, and represented by Mr. Luc NOUGUIER, President of LAPSUS (hereinafter "the Publisher").
The NOX app is available for download worldwide since Monday, April 14, 2025 on the following platforms:
- Apple App Store
- Google's Play Store
- Amazon Appstore
- Samsung's "Galaxy Store"
- Huawei Technologies "Huawei AppGallery"
- Xiaomi Get Apps

The "NOX – The Social Alarm Clock" Application has been designed as a space for free, original and open expression, where each User can share authentic and personal content at the symbolic moment of awakening. It offers a unique social experience, centered on creativity, benevolent interaction and the daily discovery of singular universes.
This dynamic implies the active participation of everyone in the construction of a healthy and respectful digital environment. If NOX is based on modern technologies and human moderation, the community experience can only work through collective commitment.
This "Code of Conduct" is part of this logic: it recalls the expected principles of behavior, underlines shared values and defines the attitudes to be encouraged or avoided. It is a reflection of a moral and community contract between all NOX members. It is not a simple legal reminder: it aims to nurture a common culture, a state of mind, a way of making a community. Everyone is invited to refer to it regularly and to fully adhere to it to guarantee the sustainability, safety and richness of the NOX ecosystem.

A. RESPECT FOR OTHERS
Each User must respect the dignity, integrity and uniqueness of other members of the community. Insulting, discriminatory, degrading, hateful or mocking comments or behaviour will not be tolerated.

The platform encourages listening, politeness, encouragement, respectful curiosity and the ability to dialogue with civility. A disagreement can be expressed, but it must always remain respectful.
D. FREEDOM OF SPEECH
NOX upholds freedom of expression, as long as it is exercised in a manner that respects the laws, the rights of others, and the policies of the App.

The displayed field is labeled as follows:
"Sensitive Content:
Does your NOX contain nudity, violence, or any other sensitive content?
Yes – No"
"Sensitive Content" is content that may offend the sensibilities of certain Users, in particular because of its suggestive, offensive or disturbing nature, and may be subject to a filter or prior warning.
To find out whether content is "Sensitive Content" or not, the user must refer to the "List of Prohibited Content" in which "Sensitive Content" and "Prohibited Content" are defined.
This self-classification ensures the protection of sensitive audiences, particularly minors. The Publisher also reserves the right to modify this parameter a posteriori if the content needs to be reclassified as sensitive.
