User Agreement of the Service
«OLIMP — Official InterWorld Marriage Palace»

1. Legal Nature of the Service

The OLIMP service provides infrastructure for recording the will of adult and capable users to create or terminate a private union. The service is not a governmental civil registry authority and does not replace state registration of marriage or its dissolution where such registration is required to create legal effects in the public legal order.

At the same time, the freedom to marry and to form a family is recognized by international law (for example, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Art. 16; ICCPR, Art. 23; ECHR, Art. 12). These norms confirm the value of free and equal consent, but allow that the procedure for recognition and forms of marriage are determined by national law.

Ethical disclaimer: the service respects the dignity of all living and sentient entities and calls for non-discrimination. However, any unions within the service are concluded exclusively voluntarily and within the legal framework of the applicable jurisdiction; other options are excluded.

2. What is Considered "Official"

Official within the service is the very fact of official registration of will in the service database, confirmed by a unique record identifier, a technical timestamp, and a verifiable electronic signature of the service. The service certifies the fact of union or dissolution, not the reasons, motivation, or separate elements of the parties’ status or capacity.

• No need for physical presence: actions are carried out remotely, using electronic records and signatures, which corresponds to international approaches to electronic documents and signatures (see §4 below).
• State "official" status: if users seek legal effects as a state-recognized civil union, they must comply with the requirements of the competent jurisdiction (including registration of the union with the relevant authorities, etc.; see Convention on Consent to Marriage, 1962).
• Verifiability: what can be reproduced and verified (registry entry, service signature, activity log) is considered officially recorded within the service.

3. Consent, Legal Capacity and Absence of Coercion

Any union is possible only with the free and full consent of the parties who have reached the marriageable age, possess legal capacity and the ability to express their will voluntarily. This consent is fundamental and internationally recognized (Convention on Consent to Marriage, 1962).

4. Electronic Signatures and Evidence

Records and certificates of the service are created and signed electronically. Legal systems worldwide widely recognize the legal force of electronic records and signatures:

• EU: eIDAS Regulation No. 910/2014, Art. 25: an electronic signature shall not be denied legal effect or admissibility as evidence solely on the grounds of its electronic form; a qualified electronic signature has the equivalent legal effect of a handwritten signature.
• USA: ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. § 7001 and UETA establish that electronic records and signatures cannot be considered invalid solely due to their electronic form.
• International standards: UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Commerce (1996) and Model Law on Electronic Signatures (2001).

Thus, electronic certificates and logs of the service may be used as evidence of the expression of will (conclusion or dissolution of a union), unless otherwise established by mandatory norms of applicable law.

5. Confidentiality and Data Protection

The service processes only the personal data necessary for its operation, respecting the principles of legality, transparency, and minimization (GDPR, Art. 5). Users have rights to access, correct, and delete data (GDPR, Art. 17). The Privacy Policy is provided in a separate document.

6. Liability of the Parties

• User responsibility: the user guarantees that they have legal capacity and the right to enter into a union, that the union does not violate mandatory norms (e.g., prohibition of coercion, polygamy where prohibited, minimum age, etc.), and that they are familiar with the requirements of the relevant jurisdiction if they expect state recognition.
• Limitation of service liability: the service provides the platform "as is" and is not responsible for the legal qualification of relations, compliance of the union with the requirements of a particular country, decisions of third parties and authorities, or force majeure circumstances. To the extent permitted by law, the service’s liability is limited to amounts actually paid for the last 12 months.

Important: nothing in this Agreement limits inalienable rights established by mandatory norms of applicable law.

7. Territorial Applicability and Law

The service is available globally, and we strive to comply with international standards. At the same time, state recognition of marriage and its consequences is regulated by the national law of a specific country (see ECtHR practice under Art. 12 ECHR). For contractual relations between you and the service, the applicable law and competent court are the law and court of the operator’s jurisdiction, unless otherwise required by mandatory norms.

8. Certificates of Union and Dissolution

The service’s certificates confirm that the parties expressed their will to enter into or dissolve a union, and that this will was recorded and certified by the service. Officiality of the certificate means that:

• the record is present in the service registry and can be verified by its unique identifier;
• the record is signed by the service’s electronic signature and time-stamped;
• an activity log exists that confirms the fact of the record (and its cancellation);
• if necessary, the parties may additionally certify the certificate with a notary/third trusted person.

Thus, what is official is not the "electronic or paper certificate," but the fact of registration of will in the service database; the paper or electronic copy only confirms access to this record.

9. Final Provisions

• This Agreement enters into force upon its publication on the service’s website and applies to all users.
• The Agreement may be updated unilaterally by the operator; significant changes will be published on the website.
• The invalidity of a particular provision does not entail invalidity of the Agreement as a whole.

If you need state registration of marriage/divorce — please contact the competent authority of your jurisdiction. The service does not replace such actions and does not guarantee automatic cross-border recognition.
