SocialGO Terms of Service

Date of Last Revision: February 5, 2009

These SocialGO.com Terms of Service set out the terms and conditions that apply to everyone who accesses or uses the SocialGO.com website, including to create and/or operate a social network (a "Network") using the tools and content available on the SocialGO.com website (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing and using the Service (or any portion of it), you agree to be bound by and to adhere to the following provisions, including any schedules, exhibits and related materials that are attached and/or incorporated by reference (collectively, the "Service Terms").

The Service Terms apply between SocialGO.com ("SocialGO") and you (the "Network Owner") and, amongst other things, set out the rules you must abide by when operating a Network using the Service. They also require you to allow SocialGO certain directly enforceable rights against users ("Users") of any Network you operate under the terms of service you apply to govern Users' access to and use of your Network ("Network/User Terms"). However, there is no direct contractual relationship between SocialGO and any User in relation to any Network, and you shall be solely liable to Users for any breach by you of your Network/User Terms.

SocialGO expressly reserves the right to amend and otherwise modify the Service Terms (or any portion thereof) periodically without advance notice. Please check the Service Terms each time that you use the Service to ensure that you are aware of any changes to the Service Terms. The posted Service Terms will indicate the date on which they were last updated. Your continued use of the Service after the adoption and/or implementation of any such changes shall be deemed to indicate your acceptance and agreement with any and all such amendments and/or modifications. If you do not agree with any particular changes to the Service Terms and/or to the Service, your only remedy is not to use the Service and to cancel the account(s) for which you previously signed-up.

If there is a conflict between these Service Terms and any other policies, rules, regulations or guidelines posted on the Service (including any Network/User Terms you implement in respect of your Network), SocialGO shall resolve such conflict in its sole discretion. Any questions about the Service Terms should be sent (via email) to support@socialgo.com.

Changes to Pricing Programs. SocialGO gives users thirty (30) days' advance notice of any changes to its pricing plans.

All of our service principles are subject to the detailed provisions of these Service Terms.

Important Terms That Apply if You Create a Network – Please Read Carefully

You must not allow or encourage anyone to access, register with or otherwise use any Network you create using the Services unless you and they unconditionally agree to the Network/User Terms that SocialGO provides to you in full (current Network/User Terms are available at socialgo.com/legal/network/terms), including as may be updated by SocialGO from time to time in its discretion.
You may not in any circumstances add to, remove from or otherwise vary the Network/User Terms except:
1. as agreed by SocialGO in advance and in writing; or
2. to apply terms which are specific to any products and/or services your make available to Users through your Network which are not in any way inconsistent with or contradictory to the Network/User Terms or the Service Terms (as determined by SocialGO in its sole discretion).
SocialGO shall have the right in its sole discretion to choose whether to allow or reject any proposed variations to the Network/User Terms that you wish to make.
The Network/User Terms that SocialGO provides to you shall govern the contractual relationship between you and each User of your Network, and you could incur liability to Users if you do not comply with the Network/User Terms. In addition, failure by you to comply in full with the Network/User Terms that SocialGO provides to you shall be a material breach of these Service Terms, entitling SocialGO to terminate any Account and/or Network that you create using the Service.
You shall immediately notify SocialGO of any breach of the Network/User Terms (whether by you or any of your Users) of which you become aware, and shall comply with any instructions given to you by SocialGO in respect of that breach (including, where necessary, terminating the account of any User in breach of the Network/User Terms). You acknowledge that, where you are in breach of the Network/User Terms (and/or these Service Terms), SocialGO shall have the right to terminate any Account and/or Network you have with the Service and/or may exercise rights of step-in to assume control of any Network you have created.
SocialGO reserves the right to instruct you to terminate the account of (and/or to block access to your Network by) any User that SocialGO believes has:
1. breached the Network/User Terms applicable to your Network; or
2. breached the Network/User Terms applicable to any other Network hosted with and made available through the Service.
Where so instructed by SocialGO, you shall immediately terminate the account of (and/or block access to your Network by) any such User. If you fail or are unable to take any such action, you agree that SocialGO may take this action on your behalf.
You agree that SocialGO shall have the right to enforce Network/User Terms directly against Users in order to maintain, preserve or protect the Service or where SocialGO otherwise considers it necessary to do so (including in instances where you refuse or fail to enforce Network/User Terms against non-compliant Users). Such direct enforcement rights shall include, but not be limited to, the right to terminate the account of any User of your Network who is in breach of the Network/User Terms. However, you acknowledge that SocialGO shall have no liability to consumers for breaches of the Network/User Terms (other than where and to the extent required by applicable law) and that you shall be solely liable to Users for any such breach by you.
You will provide SocialGO with all assistance and do all acts and things SocialGO considers necessary to enable it to enforce Network/User Terms directly against Users or otherwise to enjoy the benefit of any of the Network/User Terms.
You shall immediately notify SocialGO if:
1. any of the Network/User Terms are held or determined unenforceable under applicable law; or
2. you receive any correspondence, question or complaint from any person relating to your Network or any of the Network/User Terms (whether or not a User, and including any regulatory or law enforcement body).
YOU SHALL AT ALL TIMES INDEMNIFY SocialGO AND KEEP SocialGO INDEMNIFIED FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, HARM, COSTS (INCLUDING REASONABLE LEGAL COSTS), FEES, EXPENSES AND OTHER LIABILITIES DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY SocialGO AS A CONSEQUENCE OF:
1. YOUR FAILURE TO IMPLEMENT AND SECURE UNCONDITIONAL USER ACCEPTANCE TO NETWORK/USER TERMS PROVIDED TO YOU BY SocialGO; OR
2. ANY BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH BY YOU OF YOUR NETWORK/USER TERMS.

Other Important Terms that Apply to Network Owners

You must be 18 years or older to create an account that will entitle you to use the Service (an "Account"). If you are under 18, you must not create or attempt to create an account using the Service.
You must provide your full legal name, a valid email address, and any other information requested during sign-up in order to complete the registration process. You may from time to time be required to provide further contact and other information as a condition of continuing use of part(s) or all of the Service.
You represent and warrant that the information you provide during sign-up is accurate and complete. You must update any information provided immediately if it becomes inaccurate or incomplete and must ensure that the email address in your Account information is at all times a valid address at which you can be contacted.
You must not provide any false or inaccurate information whether during the registration process or otherwise.
Accounts must not be registered by a "bot" or any other automated process or method.
You will need to create a log-in name and a password in order to establish an Account. You must not use a log-in name that is also being used by anyone else. Protecting your Account and preserving the security of your password is your responsibility. SocialGO shall have no obligation or liability to you or any third party for any loss or damage resulting from your failure to maintain adequate protection for your Account, log-in name and/or password.
Only one person may use a log-in. Stated differently, a single login must not be shared by multiple users.
An Account may not be transferred or converted to a new Account. However, an Account can be upgraded, for a separate charge, in order to obtain premium features and/or functionality that SocialGO may choose to make available to you
Notwithstanding any of the above, you acknowledge and agree that the Service Terms will apply to anyone that you authorize, allow or otherwise permit to use your Account, user ID and/or password that you create, and, moreover, that you will be personally responsible and solely liable for the consequences, including the potential termination of your Account(s), that may result if any such person(s) violates any of the provisions of the Service Terms.

Network Owner Use of the SocialGO.com API

As Network Owner you will have the ability to access your Account and related Service content via the "SocialGO Application Program Interface" (the "API"). Any use of the API, including use of the API through any third-party product or service that has the capability of enabling access to the Service, shall be subject to all of the provisions of these Service Terms, including, without limitation, the following API-specific terms and conditions:

SocialGO reserves the right at any time to modify, alter, withdraw, discontinue, suspend or terminate, temporarily or permanently, your ability to access and use the API (or any part thereof) with or without prior notice to you or any third party.
In addition, unreasonably frequent requests to the Service via the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your Account(s), and, as a result, the suspension or termination of your ability to access and use the Service and the API. SocialGO, in its sole discretion, will determine whether any particular conduct is abusive or otherwise constitutes unreasonably excessive usage of the API.

Payments

You must hold either a valid credit card, an account with an approved third party payment provider (e.g. PayPal) or any other approved payment method that SocialGO notifies to you in order to pay for any Account that involves a charge.
Where charges apply, your use of the Service is and will be billed by SocialGO in advance on a monthly basis and any and all payments are non-refundable.
There will be no refunds or credits for any partial month(s) of Service, nor any refunds or credits for any unused portion of any month(s), relating to any registered Account.
When you sign up to the Service, you can choose to subscribe either to a "premium" paid-for Account or a "free" advertising-funded Account.
If you initially sign up for a "premium" paid-for Account, we will provide your first 30 days of Service free of charge. If you cancel your premium Account within this 30 day period (before processing of your invoice on the 30th day), your Account will be closed and you will not be charged for your use. However, if you chose not to cancel your Account within this 30 day period, you will be billed in advance for each subsequent month's use thereafter, commencing on the 30th day after your Account was originally created.
If you initially sign up to SocialGO's "free" advertising-funded plan, an upgrade from that free plan to a "premium" paid-for plan will end your free use of the Service. On the date of any upgrade, you will be charged for your first month of "premium" paid-for Service in advance under the new payment plan.
For any upgrade from your existing plan level (including a free trial plan) to any new plan level made available by SocialGO, your chosen payment method approved by SocialGO will automatically be billed at the new rate for each recurring monthly charge.
All fees charged by SocialGO are inclusive of UK VAT but exclusive of all other taxes, levies, or duties imposed by any applicable taxing authorities, and you are solely responsible for payment of any and all such taxes, levies, and/or duties. For example, if your use of the Service is subject to any use or sales tax, then SocialGO shall be entitled to also charge you for any such governmentally-imposed charges (in addition to the subscription and other fees for the particular payment plan that you have selected).
Technical support is only made available to the owner of an active Account that is a paid Account (i.e., not a trial or other free Account) and that is current with respect to all monthly charges and other payment obligations accrued with respect to such Account. Technical support will only be provided via email.
When you provide SocialGO with details about your chosen payment method, you are
1. representing that you are the owner (or an authorized user) of the payment method you have chosen, and
2. confirming that SocialGO is entitled to charge the referenced payment method for the particular subscription fee and other charges (if any) applicable to the particular payment plan that you have chosen.
You must promptly notify SocialGO of any changes to your chosen payment method (e.g., Account details, expiration date, billing address, etc.), and you must immediately notify SocialGO if your chosen payment method expires or is cancelled for any reason. In each case you must use the Admin Centre mechanism in the Edit Card Details page of the Service.
You are responsible for all of the charges that are incurred as a result of your use of the Service, including, without limitation, any applicable taxes, as well as for all purchases made by you or anyone else that you authorize, allow or otherwise permit to access and use your Account(s) and/or any web page(s) or content that relates to your Account(s). You are also responsible for any Internet service provider charges, as well as for any telephone, wireless and/or other connection fees that you may incur when accessing and using the Service.

Service and Pricing Changes

SocialGO reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify, change, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without prior notice to you or any third party.
Any new modifications that alter, change, improve, enhance, augment, or otherwise modify the then-current Service, including, but not limited to, the release of new tools, utilities, resources, features or functionality, shall be subject to the Service Terms.
Notice of any change(s) to the Service and/or any related pricing programs may be provided by SocialGO (or its representatives) at any time and from time to time by posting notice of the applicable change(s) to the Service website (at socialgo.com/signup).
Any pricing programs relating to the Service that are adopted by SocialGO, including, but not limited to, monthly subscription plan fees, are subject to change but only after thirty (30) days advance notice (which may be provided via email and/or otherwise posted on or within the Service).
SocialGO shall have no obligations or liability to you or to any third party (including Users) for any modifications to the Service, or any pricing changes, or any suspension or cessation of the Service (or any part thereof), any Network or your Account (or any aspect thereof), and/or any amendments or other modifications to any aspect of the Service Terms.
You acknowledge and agree that the cancellation of your Account(s) and related payment plan(s) and service(s) hereunder is your sole right and exclusive remedy with respect to any dispute that you may have that relates in any manner to the Service, including, without limitation, any dispute arising from or in connection with
1. the Service Terms or any of SocialGO's policies, rules, regulations, or guidelines relating to the Service;
2. your ability or inability to access and/or use the Service;
3. the fees and related charges, taxes, duties, billing methods or procedures, or any changes with respect to any of the foregoing; and
4. the content (including, without limitation, any related data and information) displayed or otherwise made available as part of or otherwise in connection with the Service.

Cancellation or Termination of Your Network Owner Account

If you choose to cancel your Account, you can export your proprietary content from your Network using the "export data" function that can be found in your Account "Administration Centre" and/or by manually downloading it. If you elect to cancel your Account, we may delete your proprietary content from the servers where they were previously stored as part of the Service in which event that content cannot be subsequently retrieved. However, we may retain your Account registration details where required or otherwise permitted by law.
You may elect to cancel your network Account at any time for any reason or for no reason by following the cancellation procedure ("Cancellation Procedure") described at http://owners.socialgo.com/magazine/read/how-to-delete-a-network_69.html.
It is your sole responsibility to cancel your network Account properly, using the Cancellation Procedure. Please be advised that a telephone call or email communication requesting that your network Account should be cancelled will not be considered an effective cancellation. While you may communicate with employee(s) or representative(s) of SocialGO via telephone or email, the cancellation of your network Account will not be effective unless and until you indicate your desired intention to cancel your network Account using the Cancellation Procedure.
All User data and Account data relating to a cancelled network Account, as well as any content made available in or on the applicable Network, will no longer be accessible by means of the Service following the effective date of cancellation. Please be advised that none of the content posted in or on your Network on or before the effective date of cancellation will be able to be accessed or recovered by you or any Users once your network Account is cancelled. SocialGO shall have no obligation or liability to you with respect to the deletion or loss of any such User and account data or any Network content.
If you cancel your network Account before the end of the then-current paid-up month, your cancellation will take effect immediately and you will not receive a refund or credit for the unused portion of such month.
If your bandwidth usage or server storage requirements (on the servers owned or controlled by SocialGO) exceeds the maximum requirements established by SocialGO for your type of network Account (as determined by SocialGO, at its sole discretion), SocialGO reserves the right to immediately prohibit, prevent access to or remove any content you make available or attempt to make available on your Network and/or to suspend or disable your network Account until:
1. you effectively reduce your actual bandwidth usage and/or server storage needs and bring your network Account into compliance with SocialGO’s maximum requirements for such matters or
2. alternatively, you upgrade your network Account and thereby procure the higher bandwidth usage and/or storage requirements to support your network Account activities.
You acknowledge and agree that the cancellation of your network Account(s), Network(s) and related payment plan(s) and service(s) offered by SocialGO hereunder is your sole right and exclusive remedy with respect to any dispute that you may have with SocialGO (or any of its affiliates) that relate in any manner to the Service, including, without limitation, any dispute arising from or in connection with
1. the Service Terms or any of SocialGO’s policies, rules, regulations, or guidelines relating to the Service;
2. your ability or inability to access and/or use the Service;
3. the fees and related charges, taxes, duties, billing methods or procedures, or any changes with respect to any of the foregoing; and
4. the content (including, without limitation, any related data and information) displayed or otherwise made available as part of or otherwise in connection with the Service.

You agree that SocialGO shall not have any obligations or responsibilities, nor any liability of any kind or nature, with respect to any such content or materials, and SocialGO hereby expressly disclaims any obligation to monitor and all liabilities with respect to any such content or materials that do not originate with SocialGO.
SocialGO expressly reserves the right, at all times and at its sole discretion, to quarantine, remove, delete and/or refuse to continue to allow to be displayed and distributed on or as part of the Service any web page(s), or any content or materials and/or related data or information relating to your Account(s) that is made available via the Service to interested users (whether or not registered with the Service), such as, for example, and not as a limitation upon the generality of the foregoing, any content or materials that SocialGO believes may violate the rights of any third party or contravene any of the terms or conditions referenced in the Service Terms.
SocialGO further reserves the right, at all times and at its sole discretion, to access, read, preserve and disclose any and all content and materials (including, without limitation, any related data and information) that it believes is necessary or that would facilitate
