Terms & Conditions
Welcome to SocioMee!
TechMee Inc enables people to come together and share content as a community. These Terms & Conditions pertain to your use of SocioMee, its messenger and all other features, services and technologies that we offer.
Using SocioMee and its products is free of cost. However, for businesses to promote their products through in-app advertisements is chargeable. By using SocioMee, you agree to receive ads relevant to your interest. This is determined by your data, or user behaviour.
SocioMee does not sell or share its user’s personal data to advertisers or third parties. Based on advertisers’ selection of their target audience, their content is displayed to relevant profiles that may match their criteria.
Our Data Policy elaborates on how we collect your personal data to determine the ads that you will see. You can review our settings and change privacy settings anytime you want.
1. SocioMee’s Services
Our goal is to inspire individuals to create society and bring the world closer together. We provide you with the products and services listed below to help advance this mission:
A. Provide a personalised experience for you
Your experience on SocioMee is unlike anyone else’s: from the posts, stories, events, ads and other content that you see in News Feed or our video platform to the Pages that you follow and other features that you might use, such as Trending, Marketplace and search. We use the data that we have – for example, about the connections you make, the choices and settings you select, and what you share and do on and off our Products – to personalise your experience.
B. Connect you with people and organisations that you care about
We help you find and connect with people, groups, businesses, organisations and others that matter to you across the SocioMee Products that you use.
We use the data that we have to make suggestions for you and others – for example, groups to join, events to attend, Pages to follow or send a message to, shows to watch and people who you may want to become friends with. Stronger ties make for better communities, and we believe that our services are most useful when people are connected to people, groups and organisations that they care about.
C. Empower you to express yourself and communicate about what matters to you
There are many ways to express yourself on SocioMee and to communicate with friends, family and others about what matters to you – for example, sharing status updates, photos, videos and stories across the SocioMee Products that you use, sending messages to a friend or several people, creating events or groups, or adding content to your profile. We have also developed, and continue to explore, new ways for people to use technology, such as augmented reality and 360 video to create and share more expressive and engaging content on SocioMee.
D. Help you discover content, products and services that may interest you
We show you ads, offers and other sponsored content to help you discover content, products and services that are offered by the many businesses and organisations that use SocioMee and other SocioMee Products. Section 2 below explains this in more detail.
E. Combat harmful conduct, and protect and support our community
People will only build community on SocioMee if they feel safe. We employ dedicated teams around the world and develop advanced technical systems to detect misuse of our Products, harmful conduct towards others and situations where we may be able to help support or protect our community. If we learn of content or conduct like this, we will take appropriate action – for example, offering help, removing content, removing or restricting access to certain features, disabling an account or contacting law enforcement. We share data with other SocioMee Companies when we detect misuse or harmful conduct by someone using one of our Products.
F. Use and develop advanced technologies to provide safe and functional services for everyone
We use and develop advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning systems and augmented reality so that people can use our Products safely regardless of physical ability or geographic location. For example, technology such as this helps people who have visual impairments understand what or who is in photos or videos shared on SocioMee or Instagram. We also build sophisticated network and communication technology to help more people connect to the Internet in areas with limited access. And we develop automated systems to improve our ability to detect and remove abusive and dangerous activity that may harm our community and the integrity of our Products.
G. Research ways to make our services better
We engage in research to develop, test and improve our Products. This includes analysing the data we have about our users and understanding how people use our Products, for example by conducting surveys and testing and troubleshooting new features. Our Data Policy explains how we use data to support this research for the purposes of developing and improving our services.
H. Provide consistent and seamless experiences across the SocioMee Company Products
Our Products help you find and connect with people, groups, businesses, organisations and others that are important to you. We design our systems so that your experience is consistent and seamless across the different SocioMee Company Products that you use. For example, we use data about the people you engage with on SocioMee to make it easier for you to connect with them on Instagram or Messenger, and we enable you to communicate with businesses that you follow on SocioMee through Messenger.
I. Enable global access to our services
To operate our global service, we need to store and distribute content and data in our data centres and systems around the world, including outside your country of residence. This infrastructure may be operated or controlled by TechMee Inc., SocioMee Ireland Limited or its affiliates. Return to top
2. How our administrations are supported
Rather than paying to utilize SocioMee and different items and administrations we offer, by utilizing the SocioMee Products covered by these Terms, you concur that we can show you advertisements that organizations and associations pay us to advance on and off the SocioMee Company Products. We utilize your own information, for example, data about your movement and interests, to show you advertisements that are more applicable to you.
Ensuring individuals’ security is key to how we’ve planned our promotion framework. This implies that we can show you applicable and valuable promotions without telling publicists what your identity is. We don’t sell your own information.
We permit publicists to reveal to us things, for example, their business objective, and the sort of crowd that they need to see their advertisements (for instance, individuals between the ages of 18-35 who like cycling). We at that point show their advertisement to individuals who may be intrigued.
We additionally furnish sponsors with reports about the presentation of their promotions to assist them with seeing how individuals are associating with their substance on and off SocioMee. For instance, we give general segment and interest data to promoters (for instance, that an advertisement was seen by a lady between the ages of 25 and 34 who lives in Madrid and prefers programming) to help them better comprehend their crowd. We don’t share data that straightforwardly distinguishes you (data, for example, your name or email address that without help from anyone else can be utilized to reach you or recognizes what your identity is) except if you give us explicit authorization. Become familiar with how SocioMee promotions work here.
We gather and utilize your own information to offer the types of assistance depicted above for you. You can find out about how we gather and utilize your information in our Data Policy. You have powers over the kinds of promotions and sponsors you see, and the sorts of data we use to figure out which advertisements we show you.
3. Your responsibilities to SocioMee and our local area.
We provide these services to you and others to help advance our mission. In exchange, we need you to make the following commitments:
A. Who can use SocioMee
When people stand behind their opinions and actions, our community is safer and more accountable. For this reason, you must: use the same name that you use in everyday life; provide accurate information about yourself; create only one account (your own) and use your timeline for personal purposes; and not share your password, give access to your SocioMee account to others or transfer your account to anyone else (without our permission). We try to make SocioMee broadly available to everyone, but you cannot use SocioMee if: You are under 13 years old (or the minimum legal age in your country to use our Products).
B. You are a convicted sex offender.
We’ve previously disabled your account for violations of our Terms or Policies. You are prohibited from receiving our products, services or software under applicable laws.
4. What you can share and do on SocioMee
We want people to use SocioMee to express themselves and to share content that is important to them, but not at the expense of the safety and well-being of others or the integrity of our community.
You therefore agree not to engage in the conduct described below (or to facilitate or support others in doing so): You may not use our Products to do or share anything: That breaches these Terms, our Community Standards, and other Terms and Policies that apply to your use of SocioMee. That is unlawful, misleading, discriminatory or fraudulent. That infringes or violates someone else’s rights, including their intellectual property rights.
A. We can remove or restrict access to content that is in violation of these provisions.
If we remove content that you have shared in violation of our Community Standards, we’ll let you know and explain any options you have to request another review, unless you seriously or repeatedly violate these Terms or if doing so may expose us or others to legal liability; harm our community of users; compromise or interfere with the integrity or operation of any of our services, systems or Products; where we are restricted due to technical limitations; or where we are prohibited from doing so for legal reasons. To help support our community, we encourage you to report content or conduct that you believe violates your rights (including intellectual property rights) or our terms and policies. We also can remove or restrict access to your content, services or information if we determine that doing so is reasonably necessary to avoid or mitigate adverse legal or regulatory impacts to SocioMee.
5. The permissions you give us
We need certain permissions from you to provide our services:
Permission to use content that you create and share: Some content that you share or upload, such as photos or videos, may be protected by intellectual property laws. You own the intellectual property rights (things such as copyright or trademarks) in any such content that you create and share on SocioMee and the other SocioMee Company Products you use. Nothing in these Terms takes away the rights you have to your own content. You are free to share your content with anyone else, wherever you want.
However, to provide our services, we need you to give us some legal permissions (known as a ‘licence’) to use this content. This is solely for the purposes of providing and improving our Products and services as described in Section 1 above.
Specifically, when you share, post or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights on or in connection with our Products, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free and worldwide licence to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate and create derivative works of your content (consistent with your privacy and application settings).
This means, for example, that if you share a photo on SocioMee, you give us permission to store, copy and share it with others (again, consistent with your settings) such as service providers that support our service or other SocioMee Products you use.This licence will end when your content is deleted from our systems. You can delete content individually or all at once by deleting your account. Learn more about how to delete your account. You can download a copy of your data at any time before deleting your account. When you delete content, it’s no longer visible to other users; however, it may continue to exist elsewhere on our systems where:
Immediate deletion is not possible due to technical limitations (in which case, your content will be deleted within a maximum of 90 days from when you delete it); your content has been used by others in accordance with this licence and they have not deleted it (in which case, this licence will continue to apply until that content is deleted); or.
a. Where immediate deletion would restrict our ability to:
investigate or identify illegal activity or breaches of our Terms and Policies (for example, to identify or investigate misuse of our Products or systems); comply with a legal obligation, such as the preservation of evidence; or comply with a request of a judicial or administrative authority, law enforcement or a government agency; in which case, the content will be retained for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it has been retained (the exact duration will vary on a case-by-case basis). In each of the above cases, this licence will continue until the content has been fully deleted.
Permission to use your name, profile picture and information about your actions with ads and sponsored content: You give us permission to use your name and profile picture and information about actions that you have taken on SocioMee next to or in connection with ads, offers and other sponsored content that we display across our Products, without any compensation to you. For example, we may show your friends that you are interested in an advertised event or have liked a Page created by a brand that has paid us to display its ads on SocioMee.
Ads like this can be seen only by people who have your permission to see the actions that you’ve taken on SocioMee. You can learn more about your ad settings and preferences. Permission to update software that you use or download: If you download or use our software, you give us permission to download and install updates to the software where available.
6. Limits on using our intellectual property
If you use content covered by intellectual property rights that we have and make available in our Products (for example, images, designs, videos or sounds that we provide, which you add to content that you create or share on SocioMee), we retain all rights to that content (but not yours). You can only use our copyrights or trademarks (or any similar marks) as expressly permitted by our Brand Usage Guidelines or with our prior written permission. You must obtain our written permission (or permission under an open-source licence) to modify, create derivative works of, decompile or otherwise attempt to extract source code from us. Return to top
7. Additional provisions
a. Updating our Terms
We work constantly to improve our services and develop new features to make our Products better for you and our community. As a result, we may need to update these Terms from time to time to accurately reflect our services and practices. We will only make changes if the provisions are no longer appropriate or if they are incomplete, and only if the changes are reasonable and take due account of your interests. We will notify you (for example, by email or through our Products) at least 30 days before we make changes to these Terms and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect, unless changes are required by law. Once any updated Terms are in effect, you will be bound by them if you continue to use our Products. We hope that you will continue using our Products, but if you do not agree to our updated Terms and no longer want to be part of the SocioMee community, you can delete your account at any time.
b. Account suspension or termination
We want SocioMee to be a place where people feel welcome and safe to express themselves and share their thoughts and ideas. If we determine that you have clearly, seriously or repeatedly breached our Terms or Policies, including in particular our Community Standards, we may suspend or permanently disable access to your account. We may also suspend or disable your account if you repeatedly infringe other people’s intellectual property rights or where we are required to do so for legal reasons.
Where we take such action, we’ll let you know and explain any options you have to request a review, unless doing so may expose us or others to legal liability; harm our community of users;
compromise or interfere with the integrity or operation of any of our services, systems or Products; or where we are restricted due to technical limitations; or where we are prohibited from doing so for legal reasons. You can learn more about what you can do if your account has been disabled and how to contact us if you think that we have disabled your account by mistake. If you delete or we disable your account, these Terms shall terminate as an agreement between you and us, but the following provisions will remain in place: 3, 4.2-4.5.
c. Limits on liability
We work hard to provide the best Products we can and to specify clear guidelines for everyone who uses them. Our Products, however, are provided “as is”, and we make no guarantees that they will always be safe, secure or error-free, or that they will function without disruptions, delays or imperfections.
To the extent permitted by law, we also DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not control or direct what people and others do or say, and we are not responsible for their actions or conduct (whether online or offline) or any content that they share (including offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful and other objectionable content).
We cannot predict when issues may arise with our Products. Accordingly, our liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and under no circumstances will we be liable to you for any lost profits, revenues, information or data, or consequential, special, indirect, exemplary, punitive or incidental damages arising out of or related to these Terms or the SocioMee Products, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
d. Disputes
We try to provide clear rules so that we can limit or hopefully avoid disputes between you and us. If a dispute does arise, however, it’s useful to know up front where it can be resolved and what laws will apply.
If you are a consumer, the laws of the country in which you reside will apply to any claim, cause of action or dispute that you have against us that arises out of or relates to these Terms or the SocioMee Products, and you may resolve your claim in any competent court in that country that has jurisdiction over the claim. In all other cases, you agree that the claim must be resolved exclusively in the US District Court for the Northern District of California or a state court located in San Mateo County.
You also agree that you submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim, and that the laws of the State of California will govern these Terms and any claim, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
e. Other
These Terms (formerly known as the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities) make up the entire agreement between you and SocioMee, Inc. regarding your use of our Products. They supersede any prior agreements. Some of the Products that we offer are also governed by supplemental Terms.
If you use any of those Products, supplemental terms will be made available and will become part of our agreement with you. For instance, if you access or use our Products for commercial or business purposes, such as buying ads, selling products, developing apps, managing a group or Page for your business, or using our measurement services, you must agree to our Commercial Terms.
If you post or share content containing music, you must comply with our Music Guidelines. To the extent that any supplemental Terms conflict with these Terms, the supplemental Terms shall govern to the extent of the conflict. If any portion of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining portion will remain in full force and effect. If we fail to enforce any of these Terms, it will not be considered a waiver. Any amendment to or waiver of these Terms must be made in writing and signed by us. You will not transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms to anyone else without our consent.
You may designate a person (called a legacy contact) to manage your account if it is memorialised. Only your legacy contact or a person who you have identified in a valid will or similar document expressing clear consent to disclose your content upon death or incapacity will be able to seek disclosure from your account after it is memorialised.
These Terms do not confer any third-party beneficiary rights. All of our rights and obligations under these Terms are freely assignable by us in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, or by operation of law or otherwise. You should know that we may need to change the username for your account in certain circumstances (for example, if someone else claims the username and it appears unrelated to the name that you use in everyday life). We will inform you in advance if we have to do this and explain why. We always appreciate your feedback and other suggestions about our products and services. But you should know that we may use them without any restriction or obligation to compensate you, and we are under no obligation to keep them confidential. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. Return to top
