Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using SocialAmp ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of these terms, you may not access the Service.

2. Description of Service

SocialAmp is a private, human-only community of professionals who amplify each other's voices, create new content together, and grow each other's networks and visibility. It has three parts: your circle (a curated group of up to 48 professionals, rotated a few members at a time), Amp Chat (where your circle shares the LinkedIn posts they just published, so members can join the conversation on LinkedIn, as themselves), and Amp Sessions (scheduled, recorded video conversations with people from your circle). SocialAmp never posts, likes or comments on your behalf.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use this Service. By using SocialAmp, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

4. Account Registration

To use certain features of the Service, you must register for an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information
• Maintain and update your information
• Keep your password secure and confidential
• Accept responsibility for all activities under your account
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use

5. Subscription and Payment

SocialAmp offers two paid plans:

• Basic ($49/month or $490/year): your circle, Amp Chat, and joining up to 3 Amp Sessions a month.
• Premium ($99/month or $990/year): everything in Basic, plus hosting 1 Amp Session a month and joining unlimited Sessions.

Amp Sessions must be scheduled at least 2 hours ahead. During the private beta, members of the founding cohort get their first 90 days free on either plan.

By subscribing, you agree to:

• Pay all fees associated with your plan
• Authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis
• Provide accurate billing information

Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. No refunds are provided for partial billing periods.

Price Changes: We reserve the right to change subscription prices with 30 days' notice.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to:

• Use the Service for any illegal purpose
• Harass, abuse, or harm other users
• Share spam, malware, or malicious content
• Impersonate others or misrepresent your affiliation
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service
• Use bots, scrapers, or automated tools without permission
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service
• Share content that is defamatory, obscene, or infringes on others' rights
• Engage in any activity that violates LinkedIn's or other platforms' terms of service
• Use fake engagement, bots, or artificial inflation tactics
• Run "like-for-like" quotas or engagement-pod schemes through SocialAmp

7. Group Participation

As a member of a circle, you agree to:

• Participate authentically and in good faith
• Engage with other members' posts on LinkedIn only when they genuinely interest you, as yourself
• Respect other members and maintain professional conduct
• Not share confidential group discussions outside the group
• Accept periodic group rotations as part of the Service

We reserve the right to remove members who fail to participate or violate our Community Rules.

7A. Amp Sessions and Recordings

Amp Sessions are scheduled video conversations with people from your circle. Here's how recordings work, in plain English:

1. Recorded, always. Every Session is recorded, and everyone is told before they join.
2. Everyone who speaks gets it. The full recording goes to every speaker. Each of you can share it, and clips from it, on your own channels to promote the conversation. Please credit the others.
3. Your circle can watch it. Members of the circle the Session happened in can watch the recording.
4. Listeners aren't recorded. Join with your camera and mic off and you're not in it.
5. You keep your rights. You own what you said. By speaking, you let the other speakers and SocialAmp use the recording and clips from it to promote the conversation and SocialAmp, with credit.
6. Changed your mind? Email support@socialamp.io and we'll remove what SocialAmp controls. We can't pull back copies other speakers have already shared.
7. How long we keep it. Recordings are kept for 12 months, then deleted unless someone in it asks us to keep it.
8. Be decent. No recording people secretly, no sharing others' private information, no harassment, and don't show anything on screen you don't have the right to share. Breaking this can get you removed from Sessions or from SocialAmp.

Sessions can run inside SocialAmp or on the host's own Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Riverside link. When a Session runs on an outside service, that service's own terms also apply. Up to 8 people can be on camera; others can listen in.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its original content, features, and functionality, is owned by SocialAmp and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You retain ownership of content you post. By posting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute your content in connection with the Service.

9. Third-Party Services

Our Service integrates with third-party platforms including LinkedIn. Your use of these integrations is subject to those platforms' terms of service. We are not responsible for third-party services or their actions.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

17. Severability
