Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in SocioBee (“SocioBee”, “Company”, “we” or “us”) and our website at SocioBee, along with our related websites, networks, applications, software, mobile applications, and other services provided by us (collectively, the “Service”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legally binding contract between you and SocioBee regarding your use of the Service.

You should read these Terms in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which together with any software license agreement, form our contractual relationship with you (our “Customer” or “User”). The SocioBee Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy are incorporated by this reference into, and made a part of, these Terms.

By clicking “i accept,” or by downloading, installing, or otherwise accessing or using the service, you agree that you have read and understood, and, as a condition to your use of the service, you agree to be bound by, the following terms and conditions, including SocioBee’s privacy policy and any additional terms and policies SocioBee may provide from time to time (together, these “terms”). If you are not eligible, or do not agree to the terms, then you do not have our permission to use the service. Your use of the service, and SocioBee’s provision of the service to you, constitutes an agreement by SocioBee and by you to be bound by these terms.

SocioBee uses the official API of different social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Tumblr, Reddit, Telegram, etc. (with the exception of WhatsApp), which are available in the Developer Center of each corresponding platform. Therefore, this application relies entirely on third party services (the API of each platform). We are not responsible for them making critical changes on their side. We also do not guarantee that the compatibility of the application with the API of the different platforms will last forever. You agree that we do not offer refunds of any kind, including for problems that may arise due to changes made by third parties.

Use of Service

The Service provides a digital workspace for groups of people to create, plan, and collaborate on marketing content. You agree to use the Service only for its intended uses and as set forth in these Terms.

• Overwhelm or attempt to overwhelm our infrastructure by imposing an unreasonably large load on the Service that consume extraordinary resources, such as by using “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers” or other automated systems to send more request messages to our servers than a human could reasonably send in the same period of time using a normal browser;
• Misrepresent yourself or disguise the origin of any data, content or other information you submit (including by “spoofing”, “phishing”, manipulating headers or other identifiers, impersonating anyone else, or falsely implying any sponsorship or association with SocioBee or any third party) or access the Service via another user’s account without their permission;

• Use the Service as part of any effort to compete with us or to provide similar products or services;

If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind you to these Terms and references to you herein (and all of your obligations hereunder) will refer to such entity and any individual using the Service on such entity’s behalf.

Access and User Accounts

You can access the Service via a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE or Edge) at app.sociobee.io. The Service is SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) enabled and enforced. To access the Service, you must register for an account (“Account”) and provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the account registration form. You may also upload additional content and information when you create your user profile. When creating your account and profile, you agree to provide accurate and complete information, and you represent and warrant that the content and information you provide will not violate any rights of third parties. You may delete your Account at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions on the Service.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your SocioBee password and account; you are not permitted to share your account; and you are responsible for all activities that occur under your account, with or without your knowledge. If you believe that your account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify by email.

General Payment Terms

Premium features of the Service will require you to pay fees upon registering for the applicable premium service. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are in U.S. Dollars and are non-refundable. Fees vary based on the plan, with different pricing schemes for individual users and organizations.

Price

SocioBee reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service. SocioBee will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the website up to date. We encourage you to check our website periodically for current pricing information, located here.

SocioBee may change the fees for any feature of the Service, including additional fees or charges, if SocioBee gives you advance notice of changes before they apply. SocioBee, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of SocioBee’s customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to your offer or these Terms.

Payment Authorization

You authorize SocioBee to charge all sums for the orders that you make and any level of Service you select as described in these Terms or published by SocioBee, to the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any fees with a credit card, SocioBee may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.

Refund Policy

SocioBee offers a trial period for you to evaluate our service free of charge. By signing up for our services, you will not be able to request refunds under any circumstances. It is your responsibility to understand what you are signing up for and to cancel your subscription in time if you do not wish to continue with it. The service will continue until your next payment is due. After that, your account will be disabled. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account page.

Subscription Service and Cancellation Policy

The Service may include automatically recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription Service”). If you activate a Subscription Service, you authorize SocioBee to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your account, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Service. For information on the “Subscription Fee”, please see our Pricing page. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date all applicable fees for the next subscription period. The subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your subscription or we terminate it. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. We will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method you provide to us during registration (or to a different payment method if you change your payment information). You may cancel the Subscription Service by accessing your Account Settings or by contacting us by email.

Delinquent Accounts

SocioBee may suspend or terminate access to the Service for any account for which any amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the amount due for the Service, a delinquent account will be charged with fees or charges that are incidental to any chargeback or collection of any the unpaid amount, including collection fees.

User Content Generally

You are solely responsible for any User Content you post to the Service and the consequences of posting or publishing it. You retain any copyright and other proprietary rights that you may hold in the User Content that you post to the Service. Nevertheless, we need certain permission from you in order to provide the Service. By “User Content”, we mean any and all information and content a user submits to or uses with the Service. “Content” means information, data, text, software, music, sound, photos, graphics, videos, messages, tags, interactive features, or any other materials. When we say “post”, we include posting, uploading, sharing, submitting or otherwise providing User Content in any manner in connection with the Service.

Restrictions on User Content

SocioBee disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Content. You are responsible for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness, intellectual property ownership or rights to use any and all User Content that you post. You agree not to post User Content that: (i) creates a substantial risk of harm, loss, damage, physical or mental injury, emotional distress, death, disability, disfigurement, or physical or mental illness to you or any other person or entity; (ii) contains any information or content that you know is false or misleading to others; (iii) contains any information or content that is unlawful, libelous, defamatory, infringing, invasive of personal privacy or publicity rights, or otherwise violates the rights of third parties; (iv) contains any information that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under any contractual or fiduciary relationship; (v) contains viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, or any other computer programming routine that is intended to damage, interfere with, intercept or expropriate the Service or its contents, or any computer programming routine that has a similar effect; (vi) could be deemed by a reasonable person to be objectionable, profane, indecent, pornographic, harassing, threatening, embarrassing, hateful, or otherwise inappropriate; (vii) contains Hateful Content, a Threat of Physical Harm, or Harassment. For the avoidance of doubt, your User Content may not include, and SocioBee may remove or refuse to publish or promote any User Content that violates the terms or policies of any third party platform with which SocioBee’s Services integrate or interoperate.

Intellectual Property Rights in User Content

You retain copyright and any other intellectual property rights you already hold in any User Content that you post. You represent and warrant that any User Content posted by you is original to or owned by you, or, you have obtained all necessary permissions and releases for the use of such content, and all content posted by you on the Service does not infringe any copyright or other proprietary or intellectual property right of any other person or entity.

By posting your User Content, you do not lose any ownership rights you may have to it. However, you do grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid, sublicensable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, and publicly display and perform your User Content in connection with the Service and our business, in any media formats or in tangible form and through any media channels now known or hereinafter developed.

By providing User Content to or via the Service to other users of the Service, you grant those users a non-exclusive license to access and use that User Content as permitted by these Terms and the functionality of the Service.

User Content Disclaimer

We are under no obligation to edit or control User Content that you or other users post or publish and will not be in any way responsible or liable for User Content. SocioBee may, however, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any User Content that in our sole judgment violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable. You understand that when using the Service you will be exposed to User Content from a variety of sources and acknowledge that User Content may be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. You agree to waive, and do waive, any legal or equitable right or remedy you have or may have against SocioBee with respect to User Content. If notified by a user or content owner that User Content allegedly does not conform to these Terms, we may investigate the allegation and determine in our sole discretion whether to remove the User Content, which we reserve the right to do at any time and without notice. For clarity, SocioBee does not permit copyright-infringing activities on the Service.

Monitoring Content

SocioBee does not control and does not have any obligation to monitor: (a) User Content; (ii) any content made available by third parties; or (iii) the use of the Service by its users. You acknowledge and agree that SocioBee reserves the right to, and may from time to time, monitor any and all information transmitted or received through the Service for operational and other purposes. If at any time SocioBee chooses to monitor the content, SocioBee still assumes no responsibility or liability for the content or any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of content. During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied, and used in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Service Availability and Commitment

Although we strive to provide the most reliable software tools possible, interruptions and delays in accessing the Service are unavoidable. Because computer networks occasionally experience disruptions, we cannot guarantee that the Service will be available to you 100% of the time. We monitor our systems continually, and an engineer is typically available within an hour of service interruptions to take reasonable steps to resolve any reported issue, and we use reasonable efforts to restore service to our users promptly, often within a 24-hour period.

Regular backups of the database are made and retained at regular intervals. If you experience loss of data, we will attempt to restore data from the most recent working backup; however, we cannot guarantee that any lost user or data can be recovered or restored.

Under no circumstances will SocioBee or its suppliers be held liable for any damages due to such interruptions or lack of availability.

Proprietary Rights

If you give feedback regarding the Service, for example recommendations for improvements or features, we have the right to use the feedback in any way and implementation of that feedback is owned by us and may become part of the Service without compensation to you. We reserve all rights in and to the Service unless we expressly state otherwise. We also reserve the right to make changes or updates to the Service or Content provided on or through the Service at any time without notice and we will own any such changes or updates (excluding User Content).
