Social Media Top Team Terms of Service

Last Updated: January 8, 2019

 

These Terms of Service ("Terms of Service"), together with the Social Media Top Team Privacy Policy (the "Privacy Policy") and any on-line or written order form for the purchase of the Services (as herein defined) (each, a "Service Order"), together constitute a binding agreement between Social Media Top Team  ("Social Media Top Team") and you or the legal entity you represent ("Merchant” or “you”). These Terms of Service also apply if you purchase a right to use the Services (as defined below) pursuant to a Service Order entered into between you and a Social Media Top Team-authorized agent, vendor, or reseller of the Services (a “Vendor”).

 

Merchant desires to use Social Media Top Team's online advertising services, customer management services, forwarding phone service, and/or transaction processing service (the "Services"). Online advertising services include creating and managing Offers (as defined below), claiming Offers via the Social Media Top Team Site using Social Media Top Team software to publish on directory sites such as Facebook, Google+, and Yelp, and using Social Media Top Team's Merchant’s instructions and other documentation of Social Media Top Team (the "Social Media Top Team Documentation"). Customer management services include using Social Media Top Team software to get customer contact information from customer emails, phone calls, and transactions (the “Interactions”), seeing data resulting from the Interactions, and using Social Media Top Team’s marketing platform to send messages to customers through email and SMS text messages.

 

IN OTHER WORDS, FOR ANY EMAIL ACCOUNT THAT MERCHANT LINKS WITH THE SERVICES, SOCIAL MEDIA TOP TEAM WILL SCAN THE EMAIL HEADERS, THE EMAIL ATTACHMENTS, AND EVEN THE EMAIL BODIES FOR CONTACT INFORMATION AND OTHER RELEVANT DATA, AND USE SUCH COLLECTED INFORMATION, AS A NON-LIMITING EXAMPLE, FOR PURPOSES OF TIMING AND CONTENT GENERATION FOR REMARKETING EFFORTS.

 

SOCIAL MEDIA TOP TEAM WILL PERMIT MERCHANT TO USE THE SERVICES AND THE SOCIAL MEDIA TOP TEAM DOCUMENTATION SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.

 

BY USING THE SERVICES, MERCHANT AGREES TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN. IF MERCHANT DOES NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, MERCHANT IS NOT PERMITTED TO USE THE SERVICES.

 

1. SERVICES

Agreement to Provide Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service and during the term of these Terms of Service, Social Media Top Team will provide to Merchant access to the Services purchased through and described on the Social Media Top Team website at www.Social Media Top Team.com and its sub domains (the "Social Media Top Team Site"), or purchased through a Vendor, and in accordance with any applicable Service Order(s). Merchant’s Services start on the date of the initial charge to create the account (the “Initial Charge”). Merchant understands and agrees that by using the on-line registration process and consenting to the terms of these Terms of Service Merchant has made a binding selection of the type of Services to be provided and all associated specifications, prices, policies and documentation related to the delivery of the Services.

 

Service Orders. Each Service Order is hereby incorporated into these Terms of Service by this reference and is subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service; provided, however, that in the event of conflict with the terms contained in any Service Order, the terms contained in these Terms of Service shall control. In the event of any conflict between the terms of these Terms of Service or a Service Order and any Merchant-issued order form or purchase order, the terms of these Terms of Service and the applicable Service Order shall control.

 

Offers. Upon acceptance of a Service Order, Merchant may (i) create, by using the Social Media Top Team Platform, an on-line coupon or similar marketing offer, deal or advertisement to market its products or services (each, an “Offer”) or (ii) access the Social Media Top Team Platform (as defined below) to deliver its own Offers. Offers may be featured either on the Social Media Top Team Site or on third-party websites with which Social Media Top Team maintains a partnership (such site, a "Third-Party Partner Site"). An "Offer Campaign" is the active period in which an Offer is displayed via the Social Media Top Team Site or a Third-Party Partner Site. Social Media Top Team may create Offers for Merchants and/or implement an Offer Campaign as part of the Services based on Merchants' instructions and specifications. Merchant agrees to honor all Offers created via the Services consistent with such Offers' applicable terms and conditions (including expiration date). Merchant is responsible for charging customers for all applicable sales or use tax at the time the Offer is redeemed. Merchant agrees that all Offers will prominently include any applicable rules, restrictions or limitations necessary to comply with applicable law, and that such rules, restrictions or limitations will be presented to prospective purchasers prior to purchase.

 

Social Media Top Team retains editorial control over all content and can edit Offer content in its discretion if it believes it will improve the performance of the Offer Campaign.

 

Claim or Use of Offers. Certain Offers may be claimed by End Users (“End User” is defined as a consumer or person that would claim an Offer) and exchanged for goods and services from Merchant. Social Media Top Team shall not be responsible for any inaccuracies, misrepresentations, product or service liability, or offensive, infringing, libelous or illegal materials resulting from the use of Offers. Merchant is solely responsible for redeeming the Offer in accordance with its terms. Merchant is solely responsible for and releases Social Media Top Team from liability for any injuries, illness, damages, claims, liabilities and costs arising from or related to any act or omission of Merchant in connection with Merchant’s use of an Offer or the services/goods provided in connection with such Offer.

 

Offer Publication. Upon Initial Charge, Merchant’s Offer will be published across Social Media Top Team’s directory partner sites and the mobile ad network. Social Media Top Team retains the right to publish Offer upon Initial Charge without further approval from Merchant. Should Merchant request any changes to the Offer, Merchant agrees to email info@SocialMediaTopTeam.com or call Social Media Top Team at (855) 686-7832, or if specified in a Service Order, the Vendor from whom Merchant purchased a right to use the Services, to make any requested changes. Social Media Top Team agrees to make these changes within 48 business hours’ notice to Social Media Top Team as best as commercially reasonably possible.

 

Customer Management. If Merchant has agreed to Social Media Top Team tracking their customer Interactions, Social Media Top Team will record and display back to Merchant the customers’ Interactions with the Merchant. These Interactions may include but are not limited to: date of interaction, transaction amount, last 4 digits of customer credit card number, customer name, customer phone number, customer email address, and ways that the customer has interacted with the merchant. If Merchant has subscribed customers to its marketing mailing list, Social Media Top Team will send its customers emails and SMS text messages on behalf of the Merchant. SMS messages will only be sent to customers who have chosen to opt in to SMS text marketing. The Merchant has the option to remove customers from its marketing mailing list at any time, including removing all customers from the mailing list.

 

Phone forwarding service. If Merchant has enabled the Phone forwarding service, Social Media Top Team will provide the Merchant with a phone number that forwards to a phone number chosen by the Merchant. Social Media Top Team will also publish the forwarding number to Social Media Top Team-managed directory websites. Upon termination, Merchant is responsible for ensuring that the forwarding number is removed and replaced on all directory websites and any other places where it is listed and Social Media Top Team is under no obligation to continue renting, or otherwise supporting, the forwarding number.

 

Transaction processing service. If Merchant has enabled the Transaction processing service, Social Media Top Team will process the Merchant’s credit card transactions. This service does not require a change in the Merchant’s credit card processing system in most cases; in situations that do, Social Media Top Team may provide a new credit card payment processing device.

 

2. MODIFICATIONS TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE

Social Media Top Team may modify these Terms of Service or any policy or other terms referenced in these Terms of Service including but not limited to the Privacy Policy (collectively, "Additional Policies") at any time by posting a revised version of the Terms of Service and the Additional Policies on the Social Media Top Team Site. Unless otherwise set forth in these Terms of Service, the revised terms shall be effective (a) fifteen (15) days after posting and/or notifying Merchants of the changes (including through a notice submitted by Social Media Top Team to a Vendor to be then passed along to a Merchant); or (b) upon Merchant's acceptance if Social Media Top Team or a Vendor provides a mechanism for Merchant’s immediate acceptance of the revised terms, such as a click-through confirmation or acceptance button, whichever occurs first. Continued performance by Social Media Top Team of its obligations hereunder is adequate consideration for any such revisions. By continuing to use or receive the Services after the effective date of any revisions to these Terms of Service or any Additional Policies, Merchant agrees to be bound by the revised Terms of Service or any revised Additional Policies. It is Merchant's responsibility to check the websites listed herein regularly for changes to these Terms of Service or the Additional Policies, as applicable.
