Terms of Service

1. Accounts

You must create an account to use the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must provide accurate and complete information when creating your account.

The Service supports two account types:

• Small Business Owner (SBO): For businesses seeking to run influencer marketing campaigns.
• Creator: For content creators who want to participate in brand campaigns.

2. Creator Accounts

As a creator on SociaList, you agree to:

• Provide truthful profile information, including your bio, location, and content niches.
• Connect authentic social media accounts that you own and control.
• Not misrepresent your follower counts, engagement metrics, or audience demographics.
• Fulfill campaign deliverables as agreed upon with businesses.
• Comply with all applicable advertising disclosure requirements (e.g., FTC guidelines).

3. Business Accounts

As a business on SociaList, you agree to:

• Provide accurate business information.
• Set fair and transparent campaign terms, including budget and deliverables.
• Fund campaigns as agreed before content creation begins.
• Pay creators based on the agreed performance metrics and payout terms.

4. Campaigns and Payments

Campaigns on SociaList operate on a performance-based model. Key terms:

• Budget: The maximum amount a business is willing to pay for a campaign.
• Performance metrics: Campaign payouts are calculated based on actual content performance (views, engagement) measured during a fixed performance window.
• Payout calculation: Creator payout is pro-rated based on actual reach achieved relative to the target: payout = min(actual_views / reach_target, 1.0) × budget.
• Performance window: The measurement period begins when content is published and lasts for the agreed duration (default 7 days).

5. Third-Party Platform Integration

The Service integrates with third-party platforms including YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. By connecting these accounts, you:

• Authorize us to access your public profile information and content analytics via their APIs.
• Acknowledge that your use of these platforms is also governed by their respective terms of service.
• Understand that you may disconnect these accounts at any time from your profile settings.

We are not responsible for changes to third-party platform APIs, policies, or availability that may affect the Service.

6. Prohibited Conduct

You may not:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose.
• Create fake accounts, use bots, or artificially inflate metrics.
• Manipulate engagement metrics on connected social media platforms.
• Circumvent the platform to arrange deals outside the Service to avoid fees.
• Harass, abuse, or threaten other users.
• Scrape, crawl, or use automated means to access the Service without permission.
• Upload content that is illegal, harmful, or infringes on intellectual property rights.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content (excluding user-generated content) are owned by SociaList and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Creators retain ownership of their content; by posting content through campaigns, creators grant businesses a limited license to use the content as specified in the campaign agreement.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SociaList shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability shall not exceed the amounts paid by or to you through the Service in the 12 months preceding the claim.

9. Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute between a business and a creator, SociaList may, at its discretion, mediate the dispute. We reserve the right to make final decisions regarding campaign payouts in disputed cases. Users agree to attempt to resolve disputes through the platform's dispute resolution process before pursuing other legal remedies.

10. Account Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violations of these Terms. You may delete your account at any time. Upon termination, any pending campaign obligations must still be fulfilled or properly cancelled.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on this page. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
