Notice to Participants

This initiative - idea collection, voting, and any prize award - is organised and run exclusively by the Space Owner: the organisation that owns the public space hosting this initiative on Vora. The Space Owner's name and contact details are displayed on the space page and on each idea / proposal page. The Space Owner acts as the promoter / sponsor / organiser within the meaning of the applicable contest, consumer-protection and prize-tax law of its jurisdiction.

Vora is a technology platform provided by Vora S.r.l.; it only hosts the initiative. It does not select winners, define rules, or deliver prizes.

For complaints, disputes or requests concerning rules, outcomes or prizes, contact the Space Owner directly via the contact details published on the space page.

Once confirmed, your vote is immutably recorded on a public blockchain (Base L2) and cannot be withdrawn. You can independently verify it from the results page.

Your personal data is processed by the Space Owner (controller) and by the Company (processor). More information in the Privacy Policy and the End-User Terms. To report illegal content: report@voiceofthenewera.com.

Definitions used in this notice

• "Space Owner" - the legal entity (organisation, company, public body, association or professional) that has created and is administering the public space on Vora where this initiative is published. The Space Owner's identity is published on the corresponding space page and on each idea / proposal page within it. For B2B contractual purposes the Space Owner is the "Customer" under the Customer Terms of Service.
• "Initiative" - the idea-collection, voting, idea-challenge or prize-promotion activity organised by the Space Owner and made publicly accessible to Participants on the space.
• "Participant" - any natural person interacting with the Initiative (submitting an idea, voting, commenting, receiving a reward).

Rendering notes (implementation)

This banner is rendered in two places, with the same legal substance:

1. Standalone static page (/notice-to-participants.html and .it.html) - rendered as-is from this markdown. Uses "the Space Owner" consistently because the standalone page has no runtime context for a specific organisation. This is the version a participant lands on when they click "Full notice" from inside the in-page banner, or when they visit the legal hub.

2. Inline banner injection on idea-submission, idea-submit, idea-challenge and proposal pages - rendered by frontend/js/components/participant-notice.js, which receives the specific Space Owner's display name at runtime via ParticipantNotice.mount({ orgName: '…', slotEl: … }). The runtime banner substitutes the actual organisation name in place of "the Space Owner" for clarity. If no name is available the runtime banner falls back to "the organiser".

Both renderings are legally equivalent: the runtime banner is simply a personalised view of the same notice; the standalone page is the canonical legal text.

Compact version for the vote-modal (≤ 60 words):

This initiative is run exclusively by the Space Owner of this public space. Vora is only the technology platform. Your vote will be immutably recorded on blockchain and cannot be withdrawn. For complaints contact the Space Owner using the contact details on the space page. More information

Note - International Scope (v3.1)

The banner is deliberately delocalised: it no longer cites "Italian Presidential Decree no. 430 of 26 October 2001" as a universal reference, since Vora hosts Space Owners established in numerous jurisdictions and Participants may reside anywhere. The promoter qualification follows the law applicable to the Space Owner's jurisdiction (D.P.R. 430/2001 for Italian Space Owners; FTC Act + state laws for the US; Gambling Act 2005 for the UK; Lei 5.768/1971 for Brazil; etc.), as specified in Article 1.2 of the End-User Terms.

Note - v3.1.1 placeholder removal

This document previously contained the placeholder [SPACE OWNER NAME] (in Italian: [NOME SPACE OWNER]), intended to be substituted at runtime with the specific organisation's name. Because the standalone legal page has no runtime context, the bracketed placeholder leaked to end users browsing /notice-to-participants.html directly. v3.1.1 replaces every placeholder with the self-contained defined term "the Space Owner" so the document is legally compliant whether or not any substitution happens.
