Effective date: May 11, 2022

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the social media activity support service (the “Service”) made available by SafeSocial. Your registration for the Service and use of it indicate your agreement to comply with these terms.

Please note your use of the safesocial.io website or related applications (the “Site”) indicates that you agree to be bound by our Website Terms of Use.

  1. Introduction. The Service is a tool operated by SafeSocial which provides the subscriber (“you”) with notification and recommendations when potential online risk is identified in social media posts and/or interactions with others on designated social media sites or websites involving you (a “Covered Account”). The Service includes automated review by our proprietary technologies of communications involving the Covered Accounts. The Service currently supports English language interactions only; additional language interactions may become available in the future.
  2. Subscription, Cancellation and Refund Policy. The Service is offered on a subscription basis only. You may choose a monthly subscription or a yearly subscription. If you choose the monthly subscription, a monthly subscription fee is charged each month to a credit card or payment account registered with SafeSocial. If you choose the yearly subscription, a yearly subscription fee is charged each year to a credit card or payment account registered with SafeSocial. The current monthly or yearly fees and more details about the Service is listed here. Subscriptions are either month-to-month (for the monthly subscription) and automatically renew at the end of each month for the next succeeding month, or year-to-year (for the yearly subscription) and automatically renew at the end of each year for the next succeeding year, unless you cancel the subscription. To cancel your subscription at any time, please navigate to the “Account” page on our Site. Upon cancellation, the Service will terminate at the end of the current billing cycle and SafeSocial will cease any further review of the Covered Account(s). No refunds are provided.

(b) Parent or Legal Guardian. You may register only your own child or children to be monitored under your subscription to the Service. You hereby represent and warrant that you are the parent or legal guardian of the child specified for any Covered Account to be monitored by the Service.
