The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

The Joomla Extensions Directory is a free service provided for the Joomla community under the oversight of the Community Leadership Team (CLT). This terms of use page describes the terms upon which you may access and use the Directory. By using the Directory, you affirm that you have read and accept all of the following terms and conditions, which may be updated by the CLT or it's appointees from time to time with notice being posted via an official blog.  You must also agree the Directory Guidelines when submitting listings, ratings, comments, reviews or reports.

The CLT and Open Source Matters (OSM) may offer different levels of participation and benefits related to the Directory. Some of these enhanced levels may include a cost.  Levels that do include a cost are provided on an opt-in basis.  Basic listings in the JED will always be free.  The CLT has the right, in its sole discretion, to set and revise rules concerning what benefits are offered to each level of participants.  Your continued use of the Joomla Extensions Directory constitutes your agreement to be bound by the rules as modified.

By participating on this site, your activities must also be in compliance with the Community Code of Conduct.

F - Violations of the Terms of Use and/or Directory Guidelines

We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to monitor the content of the Joomla Extensions Directory and usage of the site.  Any activity that is suspected to be in conflict with the rules, as determined by the CLT, Joomla Extensions Directory team management or their appointees, will:

1. Be investigated by the assigned team member in conjunction with a Team Manager.  During the time of investigation, up to 14 days, a listing may be temporarily unpublished and the listing owner notified.  If an email is sent to the listing owner during this time, a response must be received within 5 days, otherwise the investigation will end and the listing owner will have waived their rights to a suspension review.
2. If a violation is found, the violating account will be immediately deactivated and any listings will be unpublished for a defined period based on the frequency of violations and the level of seriousness.
3. Depending on the Suspension period, the developer may seek a suspension review by the JED Council and a member of the CLT, with the member of the CLT being the final decision maker.
4. If no reply to the suspension notice is received in 14 days, the extension will be permanently removed from the Joomla Extensions Directory.

F1.- Suspensions

1. All of a developer's extensions are to be unpublished for a minimum period of one month (30 Days) for the first minor violation.  The Team Manager has the right, but not the obligation, to pardon or adjust down a first time minor violation as a show of "good faith".
2. All of a developer's extensions are to be unpublished for a minimum period of three months (90 Days) for the second minor violation or the first major violation.  A review of this suspension may be requested within 7 days of notice of the suspension.
3. All of a developer's extensions are to be unpublished for a minimum period of six months (180 Days) for the third minor violation, second major violation or the first serious violation.  A review of this suspension may be requested within 7 days of notice of the suspension.
4. In the event of a fourth violation or a second serious violation, the developer will no longer be allowed to participate in the directory.  A review of this suspension may be requested within 7 days of the suspension notification.

F2. -  Violation Levels

Minor Violation - Consists of but not limited to spamming the JED Team Email (or individual emails), intentionally duplicating listings, creating multiple accounts and other basic offenses.

Major Violation - Consists of but not limited to fraudulent activity with voting or reviews, intentionally misleading a JED Team Member when information is required, misrepresenting information in your listing, and other major offenses.

Serious Violation - Defrauding the directory Team or Leadership by creating extensions that already exist and trying to pass them as your own (Forks of extensions are allowed, see the Directory Guidelines), making threats, harassing the JED Team or Leadership, fraudulent behavior in sales or listing practices and other serious offenses.

Attempts to circumvent Directory suspension may result in a longer or permanent suspension from the Directory. If you believe any listing or developer is violation of the rules, please either use the report function to report the listing or contact us using the information provided below.  The CLT has final decision for any suspensions.

K - Privacy

Unless required by law, no personal information from Joomla! Extensions Directory members will be shared with third parties, unless this is the direct wish of said member. The CLT or OSM will divulge any information collected from you when required to do so by law. In the event that Open Source Matters or substantially all of its assets are acquired, your information will be one of the transferred assets.  Using this site will cause the information you enter as well as your IP and site access and activities to be stored.  Notes on your site activity and team member activity related to your account will be stored as well.
