General terms and conditions of service
Last modified: December 9, 2021
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY.
These general terms and conditions apply to any use of the Sozialens products, developed by Sozialens, S.L., by the Client, whose identification data appear in the specific terms and conditions, registration form, purchase order or acceptance form.
Sozialens, S.L., hereinafter Sozialens, is a Spanish company, with registered office in Madrid, Madrid, Paseo de la Castellana, No. 194 ground floor door B and NIF B70690953, whose main activity consists of the development and exploitation of services related to influencer marketing.
This contract is between you (the Client) and us (Sozialens). It describes the services we will offer you, how we will work together and other aspects of our business relationship. Because this is a legal document, some of the language contains “specific terminology”, but we have tried to make it as easy as possible to understand. Given the importance of these terms, if you do not agree to them, we will not be able to provide you with our products and services. By using the Subscription Service or receiving the Consulting Services, you agree to these terms.
We update these terms periodically. If you have an active Sozialens subscription, we will inform you by email or you will receive a notification in the app when we do so.
Finally, we know that legal terminology can sometimes be difficult to understand, so we want to offer you a guide to navigate and understand this Agreement:
A. DEFINITIONS. This section goes into depth about the meaning of key terms defined in this Agreement. Think of it as a sort of dictionary of contractual terms.
B. GENERAL BUSINESS TERMS. Here you'll find the basics related to how we provide our Subscription Service and Consulting Services. For example, you can find access information and terms of use. These terms apply to all of our product and service offerings.
C. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS. Customers subscribe to use our software (which is SaaS [Software as a Service]), and certain key terms apply to each subscription. There are some differences between the different types of subscriptions, and we'll outline the details here.
D. PRODUCT INFORMATION. We offer a number of different products, and you should know a few things about them before you start using them. We've compiled and included that information in this section.
E. GENERAL LEGAL TERMS. As we mentioned above, this is a contract and therefore includes legal terminology. In this section, we have compiled the rest of the legal terms that make up our Terms and Conditions of Service for Customers.
F. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION. As we have customers from different places around the world, in this final section we will mostly talk about the applicable laws according to the competent jurisdiction.

In addition, some or all elements of the Subscription Service may be provided through other service providers.

2. Additional features

3. Availability
We make every effort to make the Subscription Service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for scheduled interruptions for maintenance.
4. Consulting Services
You can acquire Consulting Services by placing an Order. Unless otherwise stated, the Consulting Services we provide are described on the Pricing Page and will be offered in English or Spanish. The fees for these Consulting Services are in addition to your Subscription Fees. If you purchase recurring Consulting Services, they will be considered part of your subscription and will renew in accordance with its terms. All Consulting Services are provided remotely, unless otherwise agreed upon by you and us.
For Consulting Services performed on-site, you will reimburse us for the reasonable value of all expenses related to such Services. All invoices or other requests for reimbursement are due and payable within thirty (30) days from the invoice date.

If there are products or deliverables included in the Consulting Services purchased, they are estimated to be delivered within the period of time indicated as the delivery period in the corresponding description, which will begin at the time of purchase (the "Delivery Period"). If an Expiration Period or a Delivery Period is not indicated, one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of purchase will be counted. If the Consulting Services provided are not completed at the end of the Delivery Period because you are unable to provide us with the necessary resources or you are unable to fulfill your obligations, such Consulting Services will be considered complete at the end of the Delivery Period.

Some or all of the elements of the Consulting Services may be provided through other service providers. Consulting Services cannot be canceled, and fees for such services are non-refundable.
5. Rates and payments
a. Subscription Fees. The Subscription Fee will be fixed during the Subscription Term unless: (i) you exceed any applicable influencer, email sending, user, or other limitation limits (see “Limits” section below); (ii) you upgrade products or base packages; or (iii) you subscribe to additional features or products, including additional Influencers; or (iv) unless otherwise agreed in an Order.
For our Full-Enterprise Products, once your Subscription Fee increases, it will not decrease even if the number of Influencers or emails sent is reduced. We will remotely monitor or audit the number of Influencers on the Subscription Service and the number of emails you send on the Subscription Service. If you subscribe to our Full-Enterprise Products, this information will also be available in your Sozialens account.
For our products where User limits apply, you will be charged the fees associated with all Paid Users. Your number of Paid Users will not decrease even if there is a subsequent reduction in the number of Paid Users assigned.
b. Fee Adjustments in the Next Billing Period. We determine the number of influencers for the next Billing Period by reviewing the number of Influencers in your account. For our Full-Enterprise Products, this review is completed between twenty-five (25) and forty (40) days before your next Billing Period begins. For all other products, this review is completed on the last day of your Billing Period. If you exceed the maximum number of Influencers in your account when we complete this review, your Subscription Fee will increase at the beginning of the next Billing Period to the price of the tier that corresponds to the revised number of Influencers. Plan prices are as listed on our Pricing Page.
You may reasonably manage the number of Influencers during the Billing Period, and we will not count Influencers removed prior to our review unless these Influencers have been temporarily removed to avoid a fee increase. If Influencers are temporarily removed to avoid a fee increase, we may consider the maximum number of Influencers for the reviewed Billing Period in order to determine your tier based on the number of Influencers.
This review and update process will apply to each Billing Period during the Subscription Term.
c. Fee Adjustments During a Billing Period. For our Full-Enterprise Products, the Subscription Fee will increase during the course of a Billing Period if you exceed the Email Sending Limit per Billing Period. In this case, the Subscription Fee will increase to the price of the tier that corresponds to your maximum monthly number of emails sent in the current Billing Period.
For all other products, if you reach the Email Sending Limit, you will not be able to send any more emails until the beginning of the next calendar month, including emails scheduled to be sent after you reach the Email Sending Limit. You can increase the Email Sending Limit by purchasing additional influencers; in this case, your fee will increase over the course of the Billing Period.
The Subscription Fee will increase during a Billing Period up to the base package and applicable plan price (as set forth on our Pricing Page) if you exceed the campaign limit, add Paying Users, exceed other applicable limitations (except as set forth in the “Rate Adjustments in the Next Billing Period” section), change or add products, or subscribe to additional features for use during the Billing Period. We may agree to reduce your fee if you provide us with written notice.
d. Fee Adjustments at Renewal. Once your subscription has been renewed, it will be adjusted to match the actual number of Users assigned at the end of the Subscription Term, keeping in mind that if you purchased a product with Users included, you will continue to maintain those Users even if they are not assigned. Your subscription will also be adjusted according to the plan that corresponds to the number of influencers on your portal on the last day of the current Subscription Term. For more information on renewal pricing, please see the “Term and Renewal” section below.
e. Payment by Credit Card. If you pay by credit card, you authorize us to charge your card or bank account for all fees payable during the Subscription Term. You also authorize us to charge your card or bank account for all fees payable during the Subscription Term. You authorize a third party to process payments and agree to the transfer of your payment information to such third party.
f. Payment by invoice. If you pay by invoice, we will invoice you no more than forty-five (45) days prior to the beginning of the Subscription Period and each subsequent Billing Period. All invoiced amounts are due and payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, unless otherwise specified in the Order Form.
g. Payment information. You must keep your contact information, billing information, and credit card information (as applicable) up to date. You may make changes on your Billing Page within your Sozialens account. Payment obligations are non-cancellable and all amounts paid are non-refundable, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. All fees are due and payable in advance prior to the Subscription Period. If you are a Partner Agency and are purchasing the Services on behalf of a client, you agree to be responsible for the Order Form and ensure payment of all fees.
h. Sales Tax. All fees are exclusive of taxes, which will be charged as applicable. You agree to pay any taxes applicable to the use of the Subscription Service and the performance of the Consulting Services. You will not be liable for any taxes applicable to our gross revenue or net income. If you are a resident of the European Union (excluding Spain), please be advised that none of the fees include VAT, and we assume that you are registered for VAT purposes in your member state. Upon request, you will be required to provide us with the VAT registration number under which you are registered in your member state. If you do not provide us with a VAT identification number before your transaction is processed, we will not issue any refunds or credits for any VAT charged. If you are subject to GST (Goods and Services Tax), please be aware that none of the fees include this tax. In the event that you are required to deduct or withhold any tax, you must pay the corresponding amount required by law and pay us an additional amount so that we receive full payment without any deduction or withholding.

c. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement or any Subscription Services for cause as follows: (i) upon thirty (30) days' notice to the other party that a material breach has occurred, provided that such breach has not been cured by the end of the term; or (ii) immediately, if the other party enters into bankruptcy or any other proceeding involving bankruptcy, cessation of operations, liquidation, or assignment of assets to creditors. We may also terminate this Agreement for cause upon thirty (30) days' notice if we determine that you are acting (or have acted) in a manner that reflects negatively on or affects us, or our influencers or customers. Except for these reasons, the Agreement may not be terminated prior to the end of the Subscription Period.

e. Suspension for Non-Payment. We will send you a notice of non-payment for the amount you owe. Unless you pay the full amount, we may suspend your access to any or all Subscription Services ten (10) days after such notice.

The limitations that apply to your subscription will be specified in the Order Form, in this Agreement, or on our Pricing Page, and in the case of our Free Subscriptions, these limits may also be designated only from within the product itself. You must be 18 years of age (or 20 if you are subject to the laws of Japan) or older to use the Subscription Service.
In the case of our Full Service Subscriptions, if we make changes to the limits set forth on the Pricing Page, and these changes could adversely affect you, these changes will not apply until the renewal of your next Subscription Term.

In the case of our Limited Service Subscriptions, we may change the limits that apply to you at any time and in our sole discretion.
For Free Subscriptions, we may change the limitations that apply to your use at any time, in our sole discretion and without notice, regardless of whether or not these services are used in conjunction with other products or services for which you pay a fee.
3. Change plan to a lower plan or Downgrade.
For our Enterprise products, you will not be able to downgrade your subscription and in order to avoid additional charges, you will need to anticipate your needs and purchase the appropriate Subscription Service level. For our Limited products, you will be able to downgrade your subscription twice per month and always 5 days before the start of the next Subscription Period, as specified in the “Fee Adjustments at Renewal” section above.
4. Modifications
In order to provide you with a satisfactory experience, we periodically modify the Subscription Service, such as by adding or removing features or functionality.

For our Limited Service Subscriptions and Free Subscriptions, we may make changes that materially reduce the benefits you receive during the Subscription Term.
5. Customer technical support
If you pay a Subscription Fee for the Basic or Proffesional edition of our products, you will receive email and in-app technical support at no additional cost. If you pay a Subscription Fee for the Business or Enterprise edition of our products, you will receive phone, email, and in-app technical support at no additional cost.

Email and in-app responses are provided during phone support hours only. We aim to respond to support inquiries via email within the next business day, although in practice the response is usually quicker. We do not guarantee or commit to any specific response time. We may limit or deny your access to support if we determine, in our reasonable discretion, that you are acting or have acted in a manner that constitutes misuse of support or abuse of Sozialens representatives. Issues arising from your use of the APIs or modifications you make to the code in the Subscription Service may be outside the scope of support. We will only provide support for integrations that are compatible with Sozialens as indicated in the app.
If you do not pay a Subscription Fee, support is provided through our Help Center available at: help.sozialens.com.
6. Notice of non-renewal
Your subscription will automatically renew as set forth in the “Term and Renewal” section.
