Chat rooms (audio chat)
The chat rooms are a new product (up and running since July 2023) which can be accessed from a desktop computer (web) and/or also on a cellular platform through a link from the ynet application. The chat rooms operate selectively from time to time, and are built on a hierarchy of permissions and executive position holders. Only Yedioth Internet and/or its representatives (operations/admin manager or room moderators), as opposed to end users, can open and close the rooms at any time. In each room one there is one moderator appointed by the ynet site system. In addition, some of the rooms shall host speakers (panelists), who shall likewise be appointed by the ynet site system. The rooms' moderators and speakers may converse freely amongst themselves, while the end users may to listen to the conversation, subject to the following permissions:
Nonparticipating listeners (not involved/not speaking) - are invited to listen to the conversation in the rooms. Nonparticipating listeners shall not be identified, but their presence in chat rooms shall be counted and their participation data shall be shown to all room participants.
Participating listeners - In order to participate in the conversation and/or comment with emojis, a listener must be logged into the system using the dedicated "login" button located next to the room name. Login does not require prior registration, but only: selection of a one-time user name (appellation) and approval of these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy (via hyperlink);
Participating listeners - In order to participate in the conversation and/or comment with emojis, a listener must be logged into the system using the dedicated "login" button located next to the room name. Login does not require prior registration, but only: selection of a one-time user name (appellation) and approval of these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy
A participating listener who wishes to speak must request permission to do so by using the "request permission to speak" button, and thereby enter the queue of participating listeners who have requested permission to speak and wait until the right to speak is granted to him by the room's moderator and/or operations (admin) manager. In order to speak, the participating listener must make sure that he has active and open microphone equipment. An open/closed microphone indicator can be seen in the room interface. Permission to speak in the rooms shall be given to one participating listener at a time, and that participating listener can continue to speak as long as the moderator/operational manager continues to give him the right to do so. Please note, that if you have received permission to speak, then all the room participants (including uninvolved listeners) will be able to hear you.  In some rooms the conversation may be recorded (a recording indicator can be seen in the upper left part of the room). By actually using the service as a participating listener, you hereby permit Yedioth Internet to record your words and to play them thereafter on any platform (even outside the service), such as within the framework of podcasts, etc. No undertaking is given regarding the how long the recordings may be stored in the systems of Yedioth Internet and/or of any of its representatives. The recording of chat room conversations by listeners and participating listeners and in any case its use outside the chat rooms, is prohibited. An approved participating listener shall appear on the screen with his appellation (but without a profile photo/picture).
While it should be clarified that a participating listener does not have to disclose his details when choosing an appellation and can therefore remain anonymous, the choosing of appellations which are inappropriate and/or which do not comply with Yedioth Internet's content policy (these terms of use), as well as the flouting of that policy as specified in these Terms of Use in relation to the content and texts which he shall hear by a participating listener,  may lead to his being blocked from speaking and/or altogether by the operations (admin) manager /room moderator. It should be further clarified, that in relation to participating listeners, for, inter alia, legal purposes and in order to enforce compliance with the appropriate content policy within the framework of the conversation in the room, the following information is stored in the chat rooms system: IP addresses and their activity details, such as the number of requests for permission to speak, the number of times permission to speak was received, the timing of when they began to speak, the responses (emojis) which they shared, the timing of sending the response and their blocking record. 
Moreover, each user can track numerical information about the listeners in each room (nonparticipating listeners, participating listeners, pending speech requests, listeners who have spoken, etc.), by clicking on the "listeners" button. A listener and a participating listener shall not be able to enter more than one room at the same time. should a listener and a participating listener have disconnected from a room, they may return to it as long as the room is active, although a participating listener shall be required to choose an alternative appellation. The conversation time in chat rooms may be limited, and the moderator/speakers and operations manager shall decide in their discretion when to end each conversation and/or the activity of the room. A sharing link and booking for the room can be sent to WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter and email via a dedicated link located on the lower left side of the room.
Links on the Site
Links exist on the Site to various webpages ("links"). The links allow you to find contents published online. Most of the contents are not published by or under the auspices of Yedioth and Yedioth does not control or oversee them. The fact that the Site has links to these contents does not attest that Yedioth endorses them, nor constitute a guarantee of their reliability, currency or legality, the practices of their owners in the realm of privacy and in relation to any other aspect involved in their operation. You may find that these contents do not suit your needs, or find them objectionable, outrageous, irritating, inappropriate, illegal or immoral. Yedioth is not responsible for the contents which the links lead to, nor for any consequence resulting from their use or reliance upon them.
Yedioth does not guarantee the integrity of the aforementioned links, or that they shall lead you to an active website. Yedioth may remove links from the website and/or the Application that were previously included, or refrain from adding new links, and all as it shall in its absolute discretion see fit.
The yney site online search engine is managed and operated by a third party and reflects the subjective judgment of its editors and/or the algorithm underlying its operation. No binding validity shall be attributed to the search results and/or the recommendations regarding the results according to the search values that you shall enter, they should not be viewed as an objective standard for evaluating the suitability of the search results to the values which you have entered and/or to your subjective goals, the placement of the search engine on the Site as aforesaid does not amount to a recommendation to rely on the search results in one way or another, and the order of the search results in the index does not attest to the nature or importance of the search results and Yedioth has no control over the order in which they appear. The search engine algorithm, which determines the order in which the results appear, may work on the basis of commercial considerations (although results which were promoted as aforesaid will probably be marked in a way that makes this clear). Since the content and substance of websites change frequently, the search results which shall be presented to you may not be complete, accurate and/or completely up-to-date. 
Changing and canceling a subscription
The type of subscription may be changed through the customer service department, in reliance upon the existing user information. When changing the type of subscription, a notice regarding the change shall be sent to the subscriber's email box and/or cell phone, according to the details which he provided.

It is clarified that Yedioth bears no responsibility for these contents, and the user who submitted them for publication shall be exclusively accountable for and for any consequence arising from them. These contents do not express Yedioth's opinion or position, and their publication is no guarantee of their validity, reliability, accuracy or legality.

Yedioth may refuse to publish, or delete forthwith, any content which you submitted for publication, any time it finds that you have violated these Terms of Use or that you have committed an act or omission that harms or may harm the services provided on the Site, its users, Yedioth or any of its representatives.

The Site and the Application include commercial content, such as advertising content, advertisements and notices, submitted for publication on behalf of various advertisers or users, who wish to offer assets or services for sale. The said content may be in text, images, a video or voice recording.
On advertising content in particular, it shall be stated that it is submitted on behalf of the advertiser.
Yedioth shall bear no responsibility for the commercial content published on the Site and/or in the Application. Yedioth does not write, check, verify or edit the content or veracity of these publications. The advertisers bear sole responsibility for the commercial content and for any consequence resulting from its use or reliance thereon. Publication of commercial content on the Site and/or in the Application does not constitute a recommendation or encouragement to purchase the services, assets or products being offered for sale therein.
Any transaction made as a result of commercial content published on the Site and/or in the Application shall be concluded directly between yourself and the advertiser concerned. Yedioth is not a party to any such transaction, and shall not be held responsible for the services and goods offered in the commercial content of or purchased through the Site and/or the Application or purchased through them.
Marketing content is also published on the Site from time to time, the production of which is done with the financial participation/sponsorship of a commercial or other entity (such as a nonprofit organization, etc.) but which is written and published after journalistic editing, on various topics of public interest. Promotion of such content from the home page of the Site is generally done through different (visibility) contracts, along with the letter S symbol which makes it clear that the marketing content in question was produced with financial participation. When holding the mouse cursor (tapping on the smartphone) on top of the symbol an explanatory note appears: "Content in collaboration with" - the name of the commercial entity. The article was produced by Ynet's commercial department with the financial participation of an external entity and was published after journalistic editing."
The inscription: in collaboration with the sponsor, shall appear in the introduction near the subtitle and at the end of the substantive marketing content.
Tagging including appropriate full disclosure as aforesaid shall also accompany marketing videos and podcasts distributed by ynet through external platforms, such as social networks.
Without derogating from the provisions of these terms of use and the Privacy Policy, it is clarified that commercial entities as aforesaid may invite you within the framework of such publications (for example, through an interface for collecting 'leads'), to register in order to receive information about and/or purchase their services and/or products. While as a general rule Yedioth shall ensure that such registration is only done after you have been asked to confirm by marking an active checkbox that you agree to your details being stored and utilized by the entity in question, it is clarified that the said entity shall be fully and exclusively responsible for such storage and use and that Yedioth shall bear no liability and/or responsibility in the matter. 
Intellectual Property
All copyrights and intellectual property in the Site and/or the Application and the services offered and content displayed therein (with the exception of content which you, the other users and/or advertisers shall submit for publication on the Site) belong exclusively to Yedioth Internet and/or Yedioth Aharonot, or to a third party authorized by Yedioth to use them, and without obtaining Yedioth's prior, written consent, or that of the other proprietor, as the case may be, and fulfilling the conditions imposed on that consent (should it be given), you may not copy, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, transfer to the public, modify, process, create derivative works from, translate, summarize, sell or lease, either alone or through or in collaboration with a third party, any part of the foregoing, by any manual, automated, electronic, mechanical, optical, photographic or recording method or means, including web crawlers, in connection with the preparation of artificial intelligence models, for improper purposes, such as the creation of synthetic content or fake news, impersonation and/or for any other purpose. This provision equally applies to any processing, editing or translation by Yedioth of content entered or submitted by you in or to the Sites. Should consent be given as aforesaid, you must refrain from removing, erasing or disrupting any notice or symbol regarding intellectual property rights, for example - the © copyright mark, or the ® trademark, accompanying the contents which you shall utilize. The trademarks and advertisements of advertisers and/or third parties published on the Site belong exclusively to them and no use may be made of them either, without the advertiser's prior written consent. While Yedioth does not claim ownership of the content provided by the browsers for publication on ynet sites, submission of content intended for publication on ynet sites constitutes confirmation that the party submitting it owns all the rights therein and is at liberty to submit it for publication. If the party submitting the content for publication did not create it or is not the proprietor of the rights therein, submission of the content constitutes confirmation that it was submitted pursuant to a lawful authorization from the proprietor, permitting the content's submission for publication on ynet sites and granting rights to use and publish it as detailed above and hereinafter. Submission of the content for publication grants Yedioth a free, worldwide and perennial license to copy, reproduce, distribute, market, publicize, process, edit, translate and use it in such additional way as it shall in its discretion see fit, on the ynet sites and/or in the Application and in printed matter, including in newspapers, magazines, periodicals, books, etc., in digital media, including other websites, in digital archives and in services provided by wired, wireless, cellular, cable, satellite and other communication networks. 
Yedioth's responsibility
The contents of the ynet site and/or the Application are provided for use as they are (AS IS) and cannot be customized to suit the needs of each and every person. The user shall make no complaint, claim or demand against Yedioth and/or any of its representatives regarding the attributes of the contents, their capabilities, limitations and suitability to his individual needs and/or the responses (if any) provoked by their publication on the Site and/or in the Application.
The user shall be fully and exclusively responsible for the use made by him of the Site and the Application. 
Yedioth does not guarantee that content published by and/or on behalf of browsers on ynet websites shall elicit a response. Since it cannot know what responses (if any) shall be received as a result of such publication, who shall respond to the content published by the user and in what manner, Yedioth shall bear no responsibility towards the user (or anyone acting on his behalf) for these responses, the identities of those contacting him or any consequence that may result from the publication. Yedioth shall likewise bear no responsibility for any use made by a third party of content published by and/or on behalf of the user. 
The user shall be fully and exclusively responsible for any decision which he makes regarding the contents published on the Site and/or in the Application. Yedioth does not guarantee that the contents and services of third parties, including those of content and service providers and of users, which are published on the Site and/or in the Application, shall be complete, correct, lawful, accurate or coincide with the user's expectations or requirements. Yedioth shall bear no responsibility for any consequence resulting from or from relying upon them.
It should be emphasized that correct professional advice depends on the exact facts of each and every case. The contents of the Site and/or the Application do not constitute a substitute for such advice. The foregoing also holds true vis-à-vis contents published in communities, responses and in various kinds of discussion groups (forums), including content published on behalf of the community and discussion group administrators. These contents are no substitute for professional advice or action when required (for example: a medical expert's answer to a question in a discussion group is not a substitute for receiving medical advice or treatment as needed). Sometimes these contents reflect a particular personal approach or opinion of the writer and should therefore be treated with due caution. The user is fully and exclusively responsible for the decision whether to rely upon or act regarding contents published on the Site and/or in the Application, and he is solely responsible for any such action and/or its consequences as aforesaid.
Yedioth does not guarantee that the services offered in the Site and/or application shall not be disrupted, shall be provided systematically or without stoppages, shall operate securely and faultlessly, and shall be immune from unauthorized access to Yedioth's computers and/or servers or from damages, malfunctions, glitches or failures - and all in relation to Yedioth's or one of its supplier's hardware, software, communication lines or systems.
Indemnification
The user shall be obliged to indemnify Yedioth, its employees, managers or representatives against any damage, loss, loss of profit, payment or expense which they shall incur or sustain - including attorney's fees and litigation costs - due to a breach of these Terms of Use, as well as in the following cases:
With respect to any complaint, claim and/or demand which shall be made against them by any third party as a result of content which the user submitted for publication on the Site or in the Application and/or as a result of links made by the user to the Site or the Application, and/or any judgment and/or administrative and/or judicial decision compelling Yedioth and/or anyone acting under its auspices to pay compensation as a result of publication of content that was submitted by the user for publication and/or the links which were created by him as aforesaid.
With respect to any judgment, and/or conviction, and/or administrative and/or judicial and/or quasi-judicial decision which shall oblige Yedioth and/or any of its representatives to incur a penalty and/or pay compensation as a result of a breach of the terms of use of this agreement by the user and/or by anyone acting on his behalf.
Changes to the Site and the Application and termination of the service
Yedioth may change from time to time the structure, appearance and design of the website and/or the Application and the scope and availability of the services offered therein, may in its discretion charge a fee for such contents and services or for others, and may change any other aspect involved in the website and the Application - and all, without having to give prior notice. Such changes shall be made, having regard, inter alia, to the dynamic nature of and the technological and other changes taking place in the Internet, in the Applications field, including version updates and/or in the various operating systems. By their nature, changes of this type may be susceptible to malfunctions and/or cause initial inconvenience, etc. The user shall make no complaint, claim, and/or demand against Yedioth with respect to the making of such changes and/or the concomitant glitches accompanying their implementation. Without derogating from the foregoing, Yedioth may terminate provision of all or some of these services, at any time. Yedioth shall publish an announcement regarding the termination of the services on the relevant website a reasonable time in advance. Upon termination of the services, Yedioth will retain the material contained in the Site and/or in the Application for an additional reasonable period, upon the expiry of which it may delete that material without having to give an additional notice in this regard or making a backup thereof.  
Amendments to the Terms of Use
Yedioth reserves its right to amend, at any time and even without prior notice, the Terms of Use of the Site and/or the Application, and unless Yedioth shall in its sole discretion determine otherwise, such amendments shall take effect immediately upon their incorporation into these terms of use. It is recommended to review these terms of use from time to time.
Jurisdiction
This agreement shall be regulated exclusively by the laws of the State of Israel, with the exception of the international choice of law rules stipulated therein. The courts in the Tel-Aviv district shall have exclusive jurisdiction regarding the adjudication of any dispute arising from the use of or relating to the Site or the Application. A ruling by a competent court (including a specialized court or other judicial tribunal) that a provision of these terms of use is illegal and/or invalid shall not nullify and invalidate the other provisions of the Terms of Use, with the exception of the provision that was abrogated and/or circumscribed by the court as aforesaid.
