Terms of Service

Social Bluebook // Updated October 7, 2020

Social Bluebook LLC (“SBB,” “we,” “our” or “us”) provides a platform that brings together social media content creators (“Creators”) with sponsors and advertisers (“Advertisers”) to facilitate the promotion of an Advertiser’s brand by the Creator. This terms of service (the “Agreement”) governs your use of our service, associated software and related websites (collectively, the “Service”) regardless of how you access them. When using the Service, you may be subject to other posted terms and guidelines, which are part of this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference. In all cases, this Agreement governs your use of our websites. Please read this Agreement carefully. To access and use the Service, you or the entity you represent (“you,” or “your,”) must accept all of the terms of this Agreement. If you are representing another party or acting on behalf of another person or legal entity (such as an agency or publisher acting on behalf of an Advertiser) (each an “Agent”), you represent that you have the authority to bind such person or legal entity and that you have been authorized to act on behalf of such person or legal entity. Any use of the term “you” or “your” in this Agreement refers collectively to Creators, Advertisers, either of their Agents and any other person or entity using the Service.

Description of Services and Our Role

As part of the Service, we calculate a Creator’s social brand value based on various factors, such as the Creator’s activity on social networks, number of subscribers/followers, the engagement of the Creator’s subscribers/followers and other data points and metrics (the Creator’s “Social Brand Value”). The Creator hereby acknowledges and agrees that our calculation of the Social Brand Value is an estimate only and we do not make any guarantees relating to the accuracy or the reliability of such Social Brand Value. The Service brings together Creators and Advertisers and facilitates the promotion of an Advertiser’s brand by the Creator (each a “Campaign”). As a part of the Service, we offer Creators the ability to generate custom proposals for Advertisers (each a “Proposal”) for the purpose of engaging in Campaigns (the “Creator Proposal Feature”). We also offer Advertisers the ability to search directly for Creators and invite Creators to participate in Campaigns (the “Advertiser Offer Feature”). The Service facilitates the discussion and negotiation of some of the key terms relating to the Campaign and displays such terms in a statement of work (“Statement of Work”). The Statement of Work typically describes the Campaign and what is required of the Creator, the duration/timing of the Campaign and the fees associated with the Campaign. SBB encourages the Creator and Advertiser to memorialize all terms associated with the Campaign in an agreement that may incorporate the Statement of Work and include other terms associated with the Campaign as negotiated between the parties (the “Campaign Agreement”). SBB is not a party to the Campaign Agreement, the Statement of Work or any transaction between Creators and Advertisers that originates on or through the Service. We are in no way responsible for the performance or non-performance of any Creator or Advertiser. The price and other terms of the Campaign Agreement remain subject to direct negotiation between the Creator and the Advertiser; provided however that Advertisers and Creators will be responsible for paying Transaction Fees to SBB as outlined below. SBB is not a law firm and we do not provide legal services. From time to time we may provide you with term sheets, forms, contracts or other documents to assist you in negotiating the Campaign Agreement (“Forms”). You acknowledge and understand that your use of these Forms is at your own risk and we do not guarantee that the Forms are complete, accurate or in compliance with local, regional, domestic or foreign laws. Furthermore, the Forms may not be customized for your particular needs as we do not apply the law to the facts of your situation. We encourage you to seek the advice and counsel of a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction for the proper use of Forms and to address any and all legal issues. Though we hope that all who use the Service will act honorably and treat each other fairly, we cannot verify the accuracy of any information provided by a Creator or an Advertiser. Nor can we assure the results of any transaction between a Creator and an Advertiser. When using the Service, we urge you to use common sense and good judgment. SBB is not associated or affiliated with any Creator or Advertiser, nor do we sponsor, endorse or guarantee any Creator or Advertiser.

Use and Restrictions

The Service will update your Social Brand Value periodically and you may access the Service to view your Social Brand Value as frequently as you wish. Creators may share their Social Brand Value with others provided that you do not remove or obscure any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices or legends we include with the Social Brand Value. Advertisers and other users of the Service may access and use Social Brand Values for their own internal purposes but may not share or disclose Social Brand Values with any other party. You may use the Service only to the extent that you obey all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to your use of the Service. You will not: (i) adapt, alter, modify, improve, translate or create derivative works of the Service; (ii) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to reconstruct or obtain the source code to all or any portion of the Service (except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law); (iii) use any person, automated script, software or any other fraudulent or deceptive means, to click or otherwise activate any form of view, action, response mechanism, or advertising unit, so as to increase views, impressions, actions, or alter results of the Service or a Campaign; and (iv) except as may be specifically provided in a writing by us, provide any third party access to the Service on behalf of any third party, including as part of a time-sharing, outsourcing offering.

Fees and Payment

You agree to pay all fees set forth on the SBB account creation page based on the subscription tier and pricing model you have selected (the “Fees”). Unless otherwise agreed to by SBB in writing, you will not be charged any Fees during the fourteen (14) day period beginning on the date you create your account (the “Trial Period”). You have the ability terminate your account without penalty, and without payment of any Fees, at any time during the Trial Period by logging in to the Service and adjusting your account settings in the “My Account” menu. At the end of the Trial Period, if you have not already terminated your account, you will automatically be charged according to the applicable monthly or annual Fee you selected. If you wish to terminate your account subsequent to the end of the Trial Period you may do so at any time by logging in to the Service and adjusting your account settings in the “My Account” menu. Any such post-Trial Period termination will become effective at the end of your then-current subscription term. By way of example if you have elected a monthly subscription your termination will become effective at the end of the current month and if you have elected an annual subscription your termination will become effective twelve (12) months from the date you created your account, or the annual anniversary thereof, as applicable. Unless otherwise agreed to by SBB in writing, the Fees are non-refundable.

SBB uses third party payment processors such as PayPal, Inc. and Braintree, a division of PayPal. By using the Braintree or PayPal payment processing services you agree to be bound by the applicable services agreements, terms of service and/or privacy policies of such third party payment processors. Braintree’s Payment Services Agreement is available at https://www.braintreepayments.com/legal/gateway-agreement, and the applicable bank agreement available at https://www.braintreepayments.com/legal/cea-wells. PayPal’s User Agreement can be found at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full.

You are required to pay a transaction fee for each Campaign. You will be presented with a Campaign page outlining the terms of each Campaign. On the Campaign page, a transaction fee for will be displayed (“Transaction Fee”). You agree to pay the Transaction Fee stated on such page in accordance with your payment terms, as set forth in the Campaign Agreement.

If a Campaign is generated using the Creator Proposal Feature, the Advertiser and the Creator shall each pay SBB a Transaction Fee equal to five percent (5%) of the amounts payable in connection with each such Campaign. If a Campaign is generated using the Advertiser Offer Feature, the Advertiser and the Creator shall each pay SBB a Transaction Fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the amounts payable in connection with each such Campaign. SBB may facilitate the transmission of payments from an Advertiser to a Creator in connection with a Campaign generated using either the Creator Proposal Feature or the Advertiser Offer Feature (each a “Facilitated Payment”). As an Advertiser, you hereby authorize SBB to deduct the Transaction Fee from any such Facilitated Payment prior to transferring the remaining funds to the Creator on your instructions. SBB is not your trustee or fiduciary in respect of any Facilitated Payments or any such Campaigns. SBB reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to place a hold on a Facilitated Payment, if SBB determines that the funds may be subject to a breach of applicable law (e.g. fraud or money laundering), or if SBB is required to cooperate with law enforcement.

If an Advertiser agrees to pay an annual fee (in advance) for use of or access to the Service (“Annual Fee”), then Advertiser will pay such fee prior to starting a Campaign. The Annual Fee and the Transaction Fee shall collectively be referred to herein as the “SBB Fee”.

You may pay the SBB Fee by credit card, bank account transfer, or a secondary method offered by SBB. If you elect to pay the SBB Fee by credit card or bank account transfer, you will be required to provide your credit card or bank account details to SBB and/or the third party payment service provider retained by SBB (the “Payment Service Provider”).

If you elect to pay by credit card or bank account transfer, you may be required to register with the Payment Service Provider, agree to Terms of Service of the Payment Service Provider and go through a review process as requested by the Payment Service Provider to set up their account with the Payment Service Provider. Terms of Service between you and the Payment Service Provider retained by SBB are available here (the “Payment Service Provider Agreement”). By accepting the Payment Service Provider Agreement, you agree that you have reviewed and agreed to the Payment Service Provider Agreement. Please note that SBB is not a party to the Payment Service Provider Agreement and that you, the Payment Service Provider and any other parties listed in the Payment Service Provider Agreement are the parties to the Payment Service Provider Agreement and that SBB has no obligations or liability to you under the Payment Service Provider Agreement. SBB is not responsible for any acts, or omissions or errors associated with the Payment Service Provider.

You may be charged a cancellation fee through the Payment Service Provider if you agree to a fee in a Campaign Agreement, but cancel it before it is completed.

You will be liable for any taxes (including VAT, if applicable) required to be paid on any fees associated with a Campaign Agreement or the SBB Fee (other than taxes on SBB’s income).

Except in the case of Transaction Fees payable in connection with Facilitated Payments, the Advertiser will, subject to Creator’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, release the undisputed fees owed to the Creator for each Campaign. If the Advertiser disputes any amounts owed to the Creator pursuant to the Campaign, the Advertiser may withhold payment of the disputed amount but will pay undisputed amounts then due and owing. Creator is solely responsible for payment of all income and related taxes owed with respect to fees paid to Creator.

Material connections include, but are not necessarily limited to, the Advertiser providing you with something of value, such as free use of products or services. In general, disclosures should be:

in clear and unambiguous language;
as close as possible to the native ads to which they relate;
in the same medium as the ad, for instance, in the video or in the Twitter post;
in a font and color that’s easy to read;
in a shade that stands out against the background;
for video ads, on the screen long enough to be noticed, read, and understood; and
for audio disclosures, read at a cadence that’s easy for consumers to follow and in words consumers will understand

As a Creator, it is your responsibility to understand and abide by the requirement imposed on you by the FTC and to ensure that a clear and conspicuous disclosure is made each and every time you create content for a Campaign. SBB is not responsible for any failure to comply with the FTC Rules. Non-Circumvention Period. Advertiser agrees that for a period of six (6) months following the date of Advertiser’s last communication with any Creator concerning a Campaign or any Campaign Agreement (whether or not such communications resulted in the creation of Creator Content or a Campaign), neither Advertiser nor any of Advertiser’s representatives/agents enter into any agreement with such Creator, directly or indirectly, for the creation of any online promotional media content except as through the Service or otherwise as approved in writing by SBB.

Binding Individual Arbitration

You and SBB agree to arbitrate all disputes. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and seeks to resolve disputes more quickly. Instead of a judge or a jury, the case will be decided by an arbitrator who has the power to award the same damages and relief that a court can. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE ONLY BE ON A INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO HAVE YOUR CASE DECIDED BY A JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST US. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be a class arbitration). All disputes shall be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org) or JAMS (www.jamsadr.org) according to this provision and the applicable arbitration rules for that forum. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. For any dispute, we will pay all the arbitration fees. If you prevail on any claim for which you are legally entitled to attorney’s fees, you may recover those fees from the arbitrator. For any claim where you are seeking relief, we will not seek to have you pay its attorney’s fees, even if fees might otherwise be awarded, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous. For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to you and SBB also include respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors and assigns as well as authorized users or beneficiaries of the Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may, in our sole discretion, seek preliminary judicial relief in any court of competent jurisdiction (including, but not limited to, preliminary injunctive relief).

Limitation on Time to Initiate a Dispute

Unless otherwise required by law, any action or proceeding by you relating to any dispute must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues.

Conflicting Terms

If any Campaign Agreement conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the Campaign Agreement will govern but only as to the specific Campaign to which the Campaign Agreement applies. Notwithstanding the above, no Campaign Agreement may affect SBB’s rights, obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement without the prior express written consent of an officer of SBB, and any such unapproved Campaign Agreement will be deemed void and of no force or effect as against SBB.

Governing Law

This Agreement and any dispute will be governed by California law and/or applicable federal law without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of California. Any legal claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated hereunder or the breach thereof, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, shall likewise be governed by the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Subject to and without waiver of the arbitration provisions above, you agree that any judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions in consumer cases) will be brought in and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of California in each case located in the City of and County of Los Angeles and you waive any objection based on improper venue or forum non conveniens.

Right to Amend

We have the right to change or add to the terms of this Agreement at any time, and to change, delete, discontinue, or impose conditions on any feature or aspect of the Service with notice that we in our sole discretion deem to be reasonable in the circumstances, including such notice on our website at www.socialbluebook.com or any other website maintained or owned by us for the purposes of providing Service. Any use of the Service after our publication of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as modified. However, any dispute that arose before the modification shall be governed by the Agreement that was in place when the dispute arose.

Assignment

This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by us without restriction.

Miscellaneous

You expressly acknowledge and agree that you are an independent organization and not SBB’s contractors, agents or employees. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, these terms are a complete statement of the agreement between you and us, and they describe the entire liability of us and our vendors and suppliers and your exclusive remedy with respect to your access to and use of the Service. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other SBB agreement or policy, this Agreement shall prevail on the subject matter of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable, but shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Headings are included for convenience only, and shall not be considered in interpreting this Agreement. The Agreement does not limit any rights that we may have under trade secret, copyright, patent, or other laws. Our failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.

Survival

Any provision that is reasonably necessary to accomplish or enforce the purpose of this Agreement remains in effect in accordance with their terms upon the termination of this Agreement.
