A. IMMEDIATE REMOVAL OF CONTENT
Any content that is a clear violation of this "List of Prohibited Content" is removed without notice, regardless of whether it was published in a public or private format. This deletion is carried out by the Publisher, automatically or manually, as soon as the violation is observed.

The processing time may vary depending on the complexity of the case, the language of the content, or the volume of reports in progress.

C. COOPERATION WITH THE AUTHORITIES
The Publisher of the Application, the company LAPSUS, has formalized internal procedures to actively cooperate with the competent authorities, both judicial and administrative, in France and abroad.
The authorities can consult the "Legal Provisions for the Attention of the Authorities", published at the following address: https://www.nox.app/legal/provisions-for-authorities.
An official contact point is designated for any administrative or judicial request or requisition: authorities@nox.app.
In the event of a request for access, withdrawal, blocking or transmission of data, LAPSUS undertakes to:
- verify the legal basis of the request (judicial requisition, administrative injunction, well-founded report);
- respond as soon as possible, depending on the seriousness of the situation or the urgency invoked;
- actively collaborate with the competent authorities to prevent or punish any unlawful behaviour.

By registering on NOX, the User undertakes to:
- comply with applicable laws and regulations, including those relating to the protection of minors, human dignity, freedom of expression and intellectual property;
- refrain from posting content that falls under this "List of Prohibited Content", or attempting to circumvent its rules;
- use the privacy, publication and classification settings of "Sensitive Content" in an honest, rigorous and purposeful manner.
Any publication, even in private messaging, is likely to incur the civil, criminal or contractual liability of the User.
B. OBLIGATION TO DECLARE SENSITIVE CONTENT
Any User publishing content on the Application, whether public or private, is responsible for assessing whether such content is of a sensitive nature, as defined in this "List of Prohibited Content", and for ensuring, where applicable, that the publication format chosen for this "Sensitive Content" is authorized.
When it comes to the publication of a "nox", a "dream" or a thumbnail - publication formats for which "Sensitive Content" is tolerated - the User is required to activate the "Sensitive Content" marking provided for this purpose at the time of publication. This marking, made available by the Publisher, does not prohibit publication but allows the display to be regulated according to the users' parameters.
In the event of omission of tagging for manifestly sensitive content, the Publisher may take any appropriate moderation action, including changing the tagging, removing the content, or suspending the account. The User is solely responsible for the consequences related to the failure to declare sensitive content.
C. COMMUNITY DUTY OF VIGILANCE
Beyond their own conduct, each User is encouraged to adopt an active and responsible behavior in case of doubt about any content:
- using built-in reporting tools to alert moderators;
- refraining from republishing or promoting infringing content;
- alerting the competent authorities in the event of imminent danger, in particular to the safety of a minor.
NOX is built on a community built on trust, creativity and mutual respect. This foundation cannot be preserved without the active participation of its members in the regulation of content.
10. REMINDER OF THE APPLICABLE PENALTIES
This section summarizes the various penalties provided by the Publisher in the event of non-compliance with the rules set out in this "List of Prohibited Content". These penalties may be applied immediately, graduated or definitively, depending on the nature of the offence found.
The publication, even from time to time, of "Prohibited Content", "Sensitive Content" in a non-tolerated format, or the deliberate circumvention of NOX's contractual rules exposes the User to strict measures, which may include, but are not limited to:
A. TECHNICAL AND EDITORIAL MEASURES

- Temporary suspension of the User's account;
- Permanent and irretrievable deletion of the User's account;

C. NO RECOURSE AND INDEMNIFICATION
- The User has no right of appeal against moderation or sanction measures;
