Ideocube

Terms and conditions

Effective as of August 21, 2026.

Preamble

Ideocube is an international online political positioning service that allows its users to answer a questionnaire, obtain a representation of their opinions and compare their result with various ideological movements and political parties.

Access to the main features is free. Additional features, in particular an in-depth analysis of the result, can be unlocked using Premium credits purchased in a single payment, with no subscription or automatic renewal.

These terms and conditions set out:

  • In their first part, the rules applicable to any use of Ideocube;
  • In their second part, the conditions applicable to the purchase and use of Premium credits.

Definitions

For the purposes of these terms:

  • Site: the Ideocube website available at https://ideocube.com and any translated versions of it
  • Service: the features offered on the Site
  • User: any person using the Service free of charge
  • Customer: any person purchasing a Premium offer
  • Result: the position generated from the answers to the questionnaire
  • Premium Features: all the additional content, indicators and features unlocked for a Result, which may include in particular the detailed cubes and scores, the personalized interpretation, the community comparisons and the topic-based comparisons with parties
  • Premium Credit: a unit used to unlock the Premium Features of a Result
  • Premium Activation: the operation, triggered by the Customer, that uses up a Premium Credit and unlocks the Premium Features of a given Result
  • Account: the password-free space linked to a verified email address, used to retrieve orders, Premium Credits and activated Results, and to submit community contributions

Part I — Terms of Use

1. Purpose and scope

These terms govern access to the Site, use of the Service and the purchase of Premium offers.

The part relating to use of the Service constitutes the general terms of use (“Terms of Use”). The part relating to purchases constitutes the general terms of sale (“Terms of Sale”).

Using the Service implies acceptance of the Terms of Use. Any order requires the express acceptance of the Terms of Sale presented to the Customer before payment. The applicable version is the one in force at the time of the use or order concerned.

2. Access to the Service

The Service is accessible from a compatible browser with an internet connection. Equipment and connection costs are borne by the User.

Taking the questionnaire does not require an Account. An Account is required before a purchase, as well as to access the Positions page and submit a community contribution. Signing in is done with a temporary code sent to the email address provided. Access to a Result relies on its link, which the User should keep carefully.

Minors use the Service under the responsibility of their legal guardian. A purchase made by a minor requires that guardian’s permission.

3. Results and methodology

Ideocube makes it possible in particular to obtain a political position, detailed indicators, proximities with ideologies or political parties and, when unlocked, the Premium Features.

The Result depends on the User’s answers, their understanding of the questions and the methodology in force. The questions, weightings, reference data and presentation methods may change in order to improve the Service. Such a change may alter certain comparisons or values associated with an existing Result.

Results are provided for information purposes only. They do not define a person’s convictions in absolute terms and do not constitute voting advice or legal, financial or professional advice.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Ideocube is not affiliated with any political organization presented on the Site. The positions attributed to these organizations are based on sources considered relevant, but may change or be interpreted differently.

Some summaries may be generated automatically, in particular using artificial intelligence systems. They may contain approximations or errors of interpretation.

4. Permitted use

The User undertakes to use the Service fairly and lawfully. In particular, the User must not:

  • compromise the security or operation of the Site;
  • access the data, Results or Accounts of a third party without authorization;
  • circumvent the limitations of the Service or abusively automate its use;
  • copy or extract the questions, data, texts or interfaces on a large scale;
  • resell Premium Credits or access without authorization;
  • impersonate a third party;
  • publish content that is unlawful, misleading, threatening or that infringes the rights of others;
  • artificially manipulate the suggestions, votes or statistics of the Service.

5. Community contributions

The User remains responsible for the correction suggestions, sources, votes and other content they submit. They must hold the necessary rights and, wherever possible, support their suggestions with verifiable sources.

Submitting a contribution (correction suggestion, vote or report) requires an Account and is free of charge. Links cited as sources undergo an automated security analysis. Each suggestion is put to a vote by Users for a limited period; this vote is an indicator and does not bind the Operator, which decides whether to apply the correction after review. Access to the Positions page and the counting of votes may be subject to a minimum Account age, stated on the Site.

The User grants the Operator a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to host, reproduce, translate, adapt, moderate and incorporate these contributions into the Service for the purposes of its operation and improvement.

The Operator may reject, correct, hide or delete a contribution where it is insufficiently supported, abusive, misleading, unlawful or incompatible with the Service. Any objection can be sent using the contact form.

6. Intellectual property

The Site, its visual identity, texts, questions, illustrations, animations, software, databases and other elements are protected by the applicable rights.

The User only has a personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the Service. They may share their own Result using the tools provided or a reasonable screenshot, provided they do not present this content in a misleading way or exploit it commercially without permission.

Third-party trademarks, names and logos remain the property of their respective owners. They appear on Ideocube solely for identification and comparison purposes.

7. Availability and third-party services

The Operator uses reasonable means to ensure the Service operates properly, without guaranteeing permanent availability or a complete absence of errors.

The Service may be interrupted or modified for maintenance, security, compliance or technical development reasons, or because of an external event.

Some features rely on third-party providers, in particular for hosting, payment, content generation or link security analysis. The Operator is not responsible for third-party services it does not control, without prejudice to its own obligations toward the Customer.

8. Personal data

The data processing operations, their purposes, retention periods and recipients, and the rights of data subjects are set out in the privacy policy.

Where required by law, the User may request access to, rectification, erasure or restriction of their data using the contact details given in that policy.

Terms of Sale

9. Premium offers

Each order adds to the Account the number of Premium Credits included in the chosen offer. One Premium Credit unlocks all the Premium Features of a single Result. Using it reduces the Account balance by one.

The number of credits, the total price and the main characteristics of the offer are presented before the order.

Offers are sold as a one-time payment, with no subscription or automatic renewal.

10. Prices and payment

The total price and currency are displayed before the order is confirmed. Taxes that the Operator must collect are included or clearly indicated. Currency conversion or transaction fees may be charged independently by the Customer’s bank.

Payment is due when the order is placed and is processed by Stripe or by the provider shown during payment. The Operator does not receive the full card number.

An order whose payment is declined is not completed.

11. Ordering and provision

Before paying, the Customer can check the selected offer and its price, and correct any errors. They must accept these Terms of Sale and confirm the order using a button that clearly indicates the obligation to pay.

The sale is concluded once payment has been confirmed. After the contract has been concluded, the Operator provides the Customer, on a durable medium and within the applicable legal time limit, with a confirmation of the order and the contractual information.

Where a Premium Activation is requested before the end of the withdrawal period, confirmation of the request for immediate performance and of the acknowledgment of its consequences for the right of withdrawal is also sent to the Customer on a durable medium.

Premium Credits are normally added to the Account immediately after payment has been confirmed. In the event of a problem, the Customer can contact the Operator from the Support page.

The Operator may refuse or cancel an order in the event of fraud, a payment incident, manifest abuse or an obvious error affecting the offer. Any amount collected for a service that has not been provided is then refunded.

12. Account, credits and Premium Results

Premium Credits are used in order and according to the contractual values set out on the Withdrawal and refunds page. A credit is only used when the Customer triggers the Premium Activation of a Result.

Unless otherwise stated before the order, unused Premium Credits have no contractual expiration date. They remain available for as long as the Service is operated, subject to a refund, fraud, a payment incident or use contrary to these terms.

Unlocking the Premium Features of a Result has no contractual expiration date and does not require any further payment. It remains accessible for as long as the Service is operated and the Customer keeps the necessary means of access, although this provision does not constitute a guarantee that the Site will be operated indefinitely.

If unused credits are refunded, the credits concerned are removed from the Account balance. Results whose Premium Activation has been validly performed remain unlocked.

The Customer must protect access to their email inbox and their Ideocube session. Anyone able to receive the temporary code sent to the Account’s address can access the orders and use the associated credits. In addition, a Premium Result remains visible without authentication to anyone who has its URL, so that it can be shared. The Customer is therefore advised to share this link only with full knowledge of the implications.

13. Right of withdrawal

This article applies to Customers acting as consumers where they are legally entitled to a right of withdrawal. They generally have fourteen days from the conclusion of the order to notify their decision, without having to give a reason.

The Customer can exercise this right before the period expires using the Withdraw from this contract function, or by any other unequivocal statement sent from the Support page or to support@ideocube.com. It is sufficient for the statement to be sent before the applicable period expires.

If no Premium Credit has been used, the valid exercise of the right of withdrawal results in a refund of the total price paid and the removal of the corresponding credits from the Account.

The Customer may request that the Premium Activations they trigger begin immediately, before the end of the withdrawal period. Before each activation, they must take an affirmative action by checking a box that is not pre-checked and bears the following statement:

I request immediate activation and acknowledge that I will lose my right of withdrawal for this credit once the Premium report has been fully unlocked.

Without this confirmation, no credit is used and no Premium Activation is performed.

Once the legal formalities have been validly completed and the Premium Features of a Result have been fully unlocked, the corresponding Premium Activation is considered fully performed. The Customer then loses their right of withdrawal for that activation, within the limits provided for by applicable law.

If the Customer withdraws after using part of the pack, the amount corresponding to the fully performed Premium Activations remains payable and the unused credits are refunded. The refund is equal to the total price of the order minus the contractual values of the credits used in the order set out in Article 9, and cannot be less than zero.

Refunded credits are removed from the Account balance. The Premium Features of Results whose Premium Activation has already been validly performed remain unlocked.

Any refund due is made without undue delay and no later than fourteen days after the Operator has been informed of the decision to withdraw. It is made using the payment method used for the order, unless the Customer expressly agrees to another method and provided that this refund does not incur any fees for them.

After the applicable period has expired, unused credits can no longer be refunded under the right of withdrawal, but remain usable in accordance with Article 12. The rules in this article do not limit the statutory guarantees, remedies relating to improper performance of the order or the refund of a payment made in error.

14. Statutory guarantees

The Customer benefits from the mandatory guarantees and remedies applicable to digital content and services in their country of residence, where these rules are binding on the Operator.

These guarantees may be invoked in particular where a paid credit is not delivered, where the Premium Features cannot be unlocked in accordance with the offer, or where the content provided does not objectively match the advertised characteristics.

A mere difference of opinion regarding the political interpretation offered does not, in itself, constitute a lack of conformity.

The trader responsible for the guarantees is the Operator. Any claim can be sent to it from the Support page.

15. Liability

The Operator is liable for its obligations under the conditions provided for by applicable law. Nothing in these terms excludes any liability or right that cannot legally be limited.

Subject to the above, the Operator is not liable for any damage resulting exclusively from:

  • use contrary to these terms;
  • incorrect information provided by the User;
  • a compromise of the Account’s email inbox or session attributable to the Customer;
  • an incompatibility specific to the User’s hardware, browser or connection;
  • a third-party service beyond its control;
  • an unforeseeable and unavoidable external event.

16. Changes, suspension and termination of the Service

The Operator may modify the free features and update these terms to reflect changes in the Service, its practices or its obligations.

A new version applies to uses and orders made after its effective date. It does not retroactively reduce the rights attached to an order already concluded.

In the event of abuse, fraud, a security breach or a breach of these terms, the Operator may take proportionate action, in particular by restricting a feature, suspending an Account or credits, or removing a contribution.

If the Service is scheduled to close, the Operator will endeavor, where reasonably possible, to inform Customers and allow them to view their Results.

17. Governing law and disputes

The applicable law and the competent courts are determined in accordance with the rules in force. Where a law is chosen or designated, this choice does not deprive a consumer of the mandatory protections they enjoy in their country of residence.

These terms may be translated. The version accepted by the Customer when placing their order is the contractual version.

Before taking any action, the Customer is invited to send a written complaint to the Operator in order to seek an amicable solution.

18. Contact

Any question, complaint or request relating to an order can be sent:
