Service description
MyPoint is a mobile application that works as a
social network where the user can consult their followers on any topic such as:
Sports, Cinema, Music, Beauty, Celebrities, Fashion, Politics, Culture, etc.
The user, through his creativity can create
publications with a question for his friends to decide, choosing the options
that the user presents. To this end, the user may post his in the following
ways:
• Create a Versus: Two images are showed to the
followers as options for them to choose.
• Create a Yes / No: A statement is showed to followers, with the possibility
of answering them in a positive or negative way.
• Create a List: A statement is shown to the followers, with the possibility of
selecting an option out of a list.
• Create a MultiVersus: It shows an image with several options for the
followers to choose among them.
The publications will have a time limit during
which the response will be allowed; time that will be set freely by the
publisher but that cannot be longer than 14 days nor less than 30 minutes. The
fact of assigning a specific time for answering does not prevent the publisher
from closing the post manually at any time. However, the user acknowledges that
there is an authorization for MyPoint to discretionally modify the maximum and
minimum times of the publication at any time and without the users consent.
The content of a publication will always be
formulated as a question, followed by the answer options that the user may
present with images or text. Only the followers of the user posting a question
may be able to participate by providing an answer to it when his account is
Private, or all the users of the application to whom the publication is shown
if their account is Public.
There will be a specific time set in days, hours
and minutes to participate in a publication, which does not prevent the user
posting the publication from closing the participation at any time.
Users who view a post from another user will be
able to comment on it.
While the use of the application will require
signing upwith an account, the use of the application will be free.
MyPoint has top-of-the-line functionality, so posts
with more Points will be visible to the public, including users who do not
follow the publisher who can also may vote on the publication.

functionality, where the publications will be visible to all users of the
application, which includes non-follower users who will also be able to vote
within the publication.
The user will be able to restrict his account so
that his publications are only visible to his followers, so that they do not
appear in the top functionality of publications and neither in the All
functionality of the Home screen. The user can choose from the following
account categories:
Private: you will be in control of accepting or
denying follower requests. Your profile will be visible to all users and their
posts only to their approved followers in the All functionality of the Home
screen.
Public: Acceptance of followers is automatically
made without restriction. Your profile and posts will be visible to all users.
In any of the above cases the user will be able to
block a follower, which prevents him from being a follower and see his
publications.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the user will always
be able to be found through MyPoint search results where his profile
information will be displayed.

or on their profile pages, provided that these links comply with what is set
forth in the “INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY” section of these terms.
