3.2 Accepting your request for subscription. Our acceptance of your order takes place when we send an email to you to confirm that your first subscription payment has been charged (Subscription Confirmation), at which point and on which date (Commencement Date) the Contract between you and us will come into existence. The Contract will relate only to those Services confirmed in the Subscription Confirmation.

3.3 If we cannot accept your request for subscription including where the first or any subsequent subscription payments could not be charged successfully or if we are unable to supply you with the Services for any reason, we will inform you of this by email and we will not process your request.

4.2 To cancel the Subscription Contract, where you have not signed a specific agreement with us other than agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you simply have to contact us at info@socialgenie.co.uk.

4.3 Any request for refunds because of non-use of the Service after the initial 14 day free trial period may be provided by us at our sole discretion and shall incur a reasonable administration charge.

If a subscription has yet to be purchased and the free trial of our services is still applicable as listed in clause 3.4, this can be done for a maximum of 2 months once a year.

5.4 Changes to Services. We reserve the right to amend the specification of the Services at any time and we will use reasonable endeavours to notify you in advance of any such event but shall be under no obligation to do so. For the avoidance of doubt such changes to the specification of the Services may arise as a result of Third-Party Service Providers withdrawing their consent for our use of the whole or any part of their platforms for the use in the Services. We shall not be liable to you for any losses caused by a change in the specification of the Services howsoever caused.

5.5 Reasonable care and skill. We will provide the Services to you using reasonable care and skill.

(b) we will not be responsible for any costs or losses you sustain or incur arising directly or indirectly from our failure or delay to perform the Services; and
(c) it will be your responsibility to reimburse us on written demand for any costs or losses we sustain or incur arising directly or indirectly from Your Default.

7.2 The Charges are the prices quoted on our site at the time you submit your order.

7.3 If you wish to change the scope of the Services through the “Subscription” page after we accept your order, and we agree to such change, we will modify the Charges accordingly as per clause 7.8.

7.4 We take reasonable care to ensure that the prices stated for the Services are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered into the system. However, please see clause 7.7 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Services you ordered.

7.5 We reserve the right to increase the Charges at any time.

7.6 If you are in the UK then our Charges are exclusive of VAT. Where VAT is payable in respect of some or all of the Services you must pay us such additional amounts in respect of VAT, at the applicable rate, at the same time as you pay the Charges.

7.7 It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Services on our site may be incorrectly priced. If the correct price for the Services is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Services at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. However, if we mistakenly accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel supply of the Services and refund you any sums you have paid.

7.8 For any upgrade or downgrade of your subscription plan, the credit/debit card that you provided will automatically be charged the new rate on your next billing cycle. For upgrades, a pro-rata charge will be applied based on the difference in price between your current plan and the plan you upgrade to and the amount of time remaining until your next billing date. For purchases of additional user allocations, a pro-rata charge will be made based on your current subscription and the amount of time remaining until your next billing date. For downgrades or removals of additional user allocations from your subscription, a pro-rata credit will be applied towards your next payment(s). This credit is non-refundable.

7.9 Where a charge could not be successfully processed in accordance with your Subscription Contract and your selected payment frequency, we will provide a grace period of 7 days at our discretion. This includes where a payment requires Secure Card Authorisation by the card holder. Any extension of the normal 7-day grace period is provided solely at our discretion. Where a grace period has been provided, we will attempt to charge the outstanding subscription payment once a day during this period unless the payment could not be processed because it required authorisation. If payment is still outstanding at the end of the grace period, your subscription will be suspended, and you will lose access to the services until the outstanding payment has been made. Where the subscription is suspended for more than 1 month, it will be terminated, and you will lose access to any data retained within the account.

We use your personal contact information, such as your email address to authenticate your account and keep it – and our Services – secure, and to help prevent spam, fraud, and abuse.  We also use contact information to personalize our Services, enable certain account features and to send you information about our Services.

We may also receive private information about your business profiles from the social network profiles you connect to Social Genie including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram.

We also access data from your Google Analytics account in real-time when you authorize this from our reporting area. We also securely store access tokens from Google that allow us to publish on your behalf to Google My Business and YouTube.

On all occasions where we receive data from a platform with whom our Services integrate, you will be able informed of the data that will be collected by our Services and will need to give consent to have Social Genie receive and process your personal data from these platforms on your behalf.

We work closely with other third parties (including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising networks, analytics providers, search information providers, credit reference agencies) and may receive information about you from them. The information we receive is used to enhance your experience with our Services.

We do not sell or trade your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our Services, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential and are compliant with GDPR.

We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety.

Non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

6.2 Affiliates and change of ownership

In the event that we are involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your personal data may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. This Privacy Policy will apply to your personal data as transferred to the new entity.

7. Where we store and transfer your personal data

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by employees or contractors operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, processing your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.

We take the protection of your data very seriously and have made every effort to be compliant with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which is a “regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union and the EEA region.” The GDPR replaces the 1995 Data Protection Directive. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers located in the UK and certified under these Standard Security Clauses. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using TLS technology and processed via our payment gateway, Stripe. We do not store any credit cards in our system. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password(s) with anyone. We also provide additional security controls within Social Genie allowing you to restrict access to specific IP addresses.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information on the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Services, and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.
