Terms of Use

Last updated 7 November 2026

Дэвтэр is a place to write and read in the Mongol script. It is run by L'Atelier Gege LLC (Лателиэр Гэгэ ХХК), a company of Mongolia, at devter.gege.mn. These terms are the agreement between you and us when you use it. By signing in, or by subscribing to a writer by email, you accept them. Please read them together with our Privacy Notice.

These terms are written in English.

Your account

• You must be at least 16 years old to have an account. If you are under 18, you need the permission of a parent or guardian.
• You sign in with your email address and a code we send to it. Keep that mailbox safe: whoever can read it can sign in as you.
• One person, one account. Don't sign up for someone else without their permission, and don't pretend to be a person or an organisation you are not.
• Some names are held for us and for people close to us, and a name may be given to its rightful owner. We may change a handle that impersonates someone or uses another's trademark; when we do, links to the old one keep working.

Your writing

What you write is yours. You keep the copyright in your notes, replies, posts and pictures.

So that we can run Дэвтэр, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy, show and send what you publish: on your page and in other people's streams, in search here and by search engines, in previews of links to it, in feeds, and by email to the people who subscribe to you. This licence lasts as long as what you published stays on Дэвтэр. It ends when you delete it, apart from copies in our backups, for as long as those are kept. Mail already sent to your subscribers, and copies others made while it was public, search engines among them, are beyond our reach.

Drafts are not published: readers and other writers cannot see them. Our staff can open them, and do so only when they must, to keep the site safe or because the law requires it.

When you publish, you promise that you have the right to: that the words and pictures are yours, or that you have permission or the law allows you to use them, and that you say where they come from when that is asked of you.

What is not allowed

Дэвтэр is for writing in good faith. Do not use it to publish or do any of the following:

• anything that is illegal in Mongolia, or that helps someone break the law;
• threats, harassment, or attacks on people for who they are;
• sexual content involving anyone under 18, in any form, or intimate pictures of anyone without their consent;
• other people's private information, such as their address, phone number or documents, without their permission;
• material that infringes someone else's copyright or other rights;
• spam, misleading links, scams, or attempts to collect other people's passwords or money;
• malware, or any attempt to break into, overload or get around the protections of the site;
• automated collection of the site's content in a way that puts a load on it. Search engines that follow our robots.txt are welcome.

Keeping Дэвтэр safe

Anyone can report a note, a post or a writer to us. We read reports and may remove what breaks these terms or the law, limit an account, or suspend a page. When we suspend a page, we tell its writer, who can still download their writing, and who can ask us to look again. We may act without a report when we see a serious problem, and we may refuse service to anyone who keeps breaking these terms.

If you think something on Дэвтэр infringes your copyright, write to privacy@gege.mn with a link to it and what it copies.

Messages

You can write to another person in a conversation that only the two of you read. By using Messages, and by going on using them, you accept how they work, as the Privacy Notice describes: what is kept, where, who reads it and for how long. Nothing asks you to agree first, and a change to how they work asks nothing of you either: the version in force is the one published. What is not allowed above is not allowed in a message. The person you write to can block you, or report a message to us; our staff then read that message and up to ten before it, and may act on it as on any report. In your settings of messages you choose who may begin a conversation with you, and can let no one.

A domain of your own

If you connect your own domain to your page, you must have the right to use it. Removing the domain, or deleting your account, ends the connection.

Email

We send you the codes you sign in with. If you subscribe to a writer, we send you their new posts, and each mail has a link to stop them. We do not send advertising.

Leaving

You can download your writing at any time from your settings, and you can delete your account there too. Deleting is immediate and cannot be undone; the Privacy Notice says what is erased and what stays.

The service

We work to keep Дэвтэр running and your writing safe, but we provide it as it is, without promises that it will always be available or free of errors. We may change, add or remove features. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose.

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses, or for what other people write on Дэвтэр. Nothing in these terms limits a right you have under Mongolian law that cannot be limited by agreement.

If Дэвтэр changes hands

We may pass these terms, with your account, to a company that takes over Дэвтэр.

Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. The version in force is the one published here, with its date. If you keep using Дэвтэр after a change, you accept the new terms; if you don't want to, you can delete your account.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Mongolia. A dispute that we cannot settle together goes to the courts of Mongolia.
