GUIDELINES FOR THE ACCURATE USAGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
Scope of Application:
(1) This guideline regulates the utilisation of social media sites of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine ("EANM").
(2) For this guideline the following terminology applies:
a. "Social Media": social media platforms (e.g. facebook, Google+, XING, linked-in), internet news services, portals for distribution of user generated content (e.g. youtube, vimeo) and all comparable web based services (e.g. blogs, forums, microblogging).
b. "User": Members of the EANM, including its organs, employees, authorised representatives, contractors or others, related to the EANM or its members, as far as these utilise social media.
c. "Utilisation" in the representational sense incorporates the utilisation of social media, i.e. the registration on a social media platform and the creation of an account and/or profile and/or site as well as the upload of pictures, movies, the posting of news or comments on EANM contents.
d. "EANM-contents": The utilisation of social media in the name of or in reference to the EANM or in any other way, which creates a connection between released contents and the EANM or seem to be attributable to the EANM (e.g. by using the logo, CI etc.).
Contents and Disclaimer
(1) When using social media in an adequate way, the following has to be pointed out:
• EANM does not bear any responsibility for the correctness, integrity, currentness and quality of the provided content. The utilisation and the allocation of contents are at the user’s own
risk. Contributions identified by name do not necessarily represent the opinion of the EANM but the author’s opinion.
• EANM does not bear any responsibility or liability for damages resulting from the use or disuse of information provided on social media.
(2) EANM reserves the right to admonish users to change or amend parts, complete releases or to end or ban releases or users if these/those are not in accordance with this guideline.
External Links
(1) In the event of cross linking social media with EANM content to third-party websites (external
links), it is mandatory to indicate at the appropriate location, that (i) the respective providers are responsible for these websites, (ii) the user has screened the contents at the first time connection and could not recognise any obvious statutory violations and (iii) EANM has no influence on the current or future layout or content of the external link.
User Responsibilities
(1) As a user of social media with EANM contents, users commit themselves not to post articles or
comments, which violate these guidelines, public moral or applicable law.
As a user, you furthermore accept the ethically correct utilisation of social media and you are specifically prohibited to:
• publish offending or incorrect contents; each user is responsible of one’s own contents, he/she publishes in social media. Since such contents are available over years and can be
easily assigned to the author, respect and courtesy shall be in your own interest and also in the interest of EANM as bases for any kind of communication. Before publishing contents, it is recommended to screen those towards possible lacks of clarity, usage of protected content and in particular referring to copyrights and trademarks;
• carry out competitive-contrary actions;
• launch any kind of advertisement (e.g. medical products, machines, conference or meetings
announcements and others) without permission of the EANM. This also applies for surreptitious advertising, cross linking with own or fan-pages.
(2) EANM reserves the right to delete postings or comments if those violate public moral, these guidelines or applicable law.
(3) Users agree to review their posts and comments before publishing; whether they contain information they do not wish to publish. Posts and topics can be listed in search engines and can
therefore be accessible worldwide.
For information: A claim for cancellation or correction of such entries to the search engine provider is excluded.
(4) Should third parties or other users claim EANM for possible violations of law, which a) result from the EANM content posted by users and/or b) arise from the use of social media with EANM
content by users, such users are obliged to free the provider from any claims, including claims
for damages, to hold EANM harmless and indemnify and to replace the costs which may arise due to the possible violation of the law.
This affects in particularly, but not exclusively, the cost of the necessary legal representation of the EANM. Users are obliged to support EANM in good faith with information and documents in
a legal defense against third parties. All other rights, including damage claims by EANM remain
unaffected.
Use of Trademarks / Third-Party Content
(1) EANM also reserves the right to prohibit the use of trademarks, logos and other protected labels for the benefit of EANM, especially if usage threatens to harm or damage the reputation of EANM or has already occurred.
(2) Contents and rights of third parties are marked as such. The unauthorized reproduction or
distribution of individual contents or complete pages is not allowed and punishable. Only the production of copies and downloads for personal, private and non-commercial use is permitted.
(3) For the representation of web pages with EANM content in third-party frames the written permission of EANM is required.
Additional Regulations
(1) EANM reserves the right to modify these guidelines at any time.
(2) The general terms and conditions of the respective social media websites remain unaffected by these guidelines and have to be observed as well.
(3) With regard to data protection, the applicable data protection laws as well as the privacy policy of the respective social media are to be observed.
