Manuvai.com (“Manuvai”) authorizing the online publication of an e-petition does not necessarily endorse the views or information it contains. It is forbidden to promote an e-petition by using someone else’s name without their written consent. Similar to traditional paper petitions, we consider an online petition to be a public expression of support for an issue.
During the e-petition process, the collection of personal information by the Manuvai on this website is kept to the strict minimum in order to ensure the integrity of the process. Personal information provided by the petitioner, supporters and signatories must be accurate and up-to-date. The use and provision of false information is prohibited.
Manuvai reserves the right to close an account, or to remove an e-petition or a signature from an e-petition at any time if it determines that the integrity of the e-petition process has been compromised or that these terms of use have been breached.
