Condo-Communities Principals
Condo-Communities Principles
We are building Condo-Communities to make the Condo world more open and
transparent, which we believe will create greater understanding and connection.
Condo-Communities promotes openness and transparency by giving individuals
greater power to share and connect, and certain principles guide
Condo-Communities in pursuing these goals. Our goal is to provide a
communications portal for condo residents around the world to use to communicate
freely amongst themselves. Achieving these principles should be
constrained only by limitations of law, technology, and evolving social norms.
We therefore establish these Principles as the foundation of the rights and
responsibilities of those within the Condo-Communities Service.
100% Free & Accessible
Condo-Communities is 100% free to all users. MORE IMPORTANTLY, AS A RESIDENT YOU WILL NOT BE PAYING FOR THIS
SITE IN YOUR COMMON ELEMENTS FEES. We generate our revenues from very
minimal advertising on our sites and we strive on keeping Condo-Communities
websites as ad free and relevant as possible.
Availability & Reliability
Condo-Communities should always be available to residents throughout any changes
in property management and board of directors. Condo-Communities is
independent of management companies and boards, it transcends any ownership and
therefore serves residents in the best possible way by being a free service that
is always available and can be relied upon.
Freedom to Share and Connect
People should have the freedom to share whatever information they want, in any
medium and any format, and have the right to connect online with anyone - any
person, organization or service.
Ownership and Control of Information
Residents should own their information. They should have the freedom to share it
with anyone they want and take it with them anywhere they want, including
removing it from the Condo-Communities Service. Residents should have the freedom
to decide with whom they will share their information, and to set privacy
controls to protect those choices. Those controls, however, are not capable of
limiting how those who have received information may use it, particularly
outside the Condo-Communities Service.
Free Flow of Information
People should have the freedom to access all of the information made available
to them by others. People should also have practical tools that make it easy,
quick, and efficient to share and access this information.
Fundamental Equality
Every Person - whether individual, advertiser, developer, organization, or other
entity - should have representation and access to distribution and information
within the Condo-Communities Service, regardless of the Person's primary
activity. There should be a single set of principles, rights, and
responsibilities that should apply to all People using the Condo-Communities
Service.
Social Value
People should have the freedom to build trust and reputation through their
identity and connections, and should not have their presence on the
Condo-Communities Service removed for reasons other than those described in
Condo-Communities's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.
Fundamental Service
People should be able to use Condo-Communities for free to establish a presence,
connect with others, and share information with them. Every Person should be
able to use the Condo-Communities Service regardless of his or her level of
participation or contribution.
Common Welfare
The rights and responsibilities of Condo-Communities and the People that use it
should be described in a Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, which should
not be inconsistent with these Principles.
One World
The Condo-Communities Service should transcend geographic and national
boundaries and be available to everyone in the world.
