Effective Date: August 28, 2022
ACCEPTANCE OF OUR TERMS
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a binding contract between you and ONE META. (“us” or “we” or “ONE META”) governing the use of and access to the products we offer in connection with a paid or trial subscription (“Products”) to you and any authorized individuals engaged by you to use the Products on your behalf (each, a “User,” and collectively, “Users”). By using or accessing the Products, or authorizing or permitting any User to use or access the Products, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity (“Entity”), you agree to these Terms for that Entity and represent to ONE META that you have the authority to bind such Entity and its affiliates to these Terms. In such case, “you” or “Customer” shall refer to such Entity and its affiliates. If you are a Customer’s User, then these Terms will apply to you to the extent they are applicable to Users. If Customer is an agency, then a User may also be an agency client as described in Section 10 (Agencies). If you do not have the authority to bind the Entity to these Terms or do not agree to these Terms, do not accept these Terms or use or access the Products. You represent and warrant that the information you provide in registering for the Products is accurate, complete, and rightfully yours to use.
OUR PRODUCTS
We deliver our Products through our web applications and mobile applications (each, an “Application,” and collectively, “Applications”) available at 1meta.co, and/or any additional sites through which the Applications are accessible in the future (each, a “Site”). The features and services available to you will be based on your subscription plan (“Plan”). If you signed a service order, the details of your Plan will be provided on your service order. If you purchased a Product within the Application, the details of your Plan will be set forth on the “Billing” page within the Application. The Products specifically exclude any third-party database or Third-Party Services (as defined in Section 5). We reserve the right to modify features and functionality of our Products from time to time in our sole discretion. We will determine in our sole discretion whether any new features require additional fees. We may decide to add new features to the Products and make them generally available at no cost to Customers. Certain new features may require acceptance of additional terms presented within the Application in order to access such features or functionality. We may or may not provide notice to you of changes to the Products. We will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modifications, price increases, or discontinuations of our Products. Any additional product add-ons, including but not limited to listening, analytics, bots, or customer service, or the addition of users, profiles, groups, brand keywords, and other features or functionality you later add to an existing Plan (the “Add-Ons”) during your subscription term shall be subject to these Terms. Any time-and-materials services provided to you, such as consulting services or onboarding support (the “Professional Services”) shall also be subject to these Terms.
REGISTERING USERS ON OUR APPLICATION
Except as set forth in Section 10 (Agencies), you agree that you will only access our Applications for your internal business purposes and subject to these Terms. After any free trial of our Products, you will be required to register for our Application and pay a subscription fee for the use of our Products. You must pay such subscription fees on the first day of your subscription term unless otherwise specified on your service order. If you, as a Customer, add Users to your account, you must bind each of the Users to these Terms. You are responsible for all information, data, content, messages or other materials that you or your Users post or otherwise transmit via the Applications (collectively, “Content”). You acknowledge and agree that a login may only be used by one (1) person, and that you will not share a single login among multiple people. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login and account, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under or in connection with your login or account. Except as provided in Section 10 (Agencies), you agree that you will not trade, transfer, or sell access to your login or account to another party unless otherwise agreed to in writing by ONE META. As a User, you represent and warrant that you are: (i) 18 years old or older, (ii) not prohibited or restricted from having a ONE META account, and (iii) not a competitor of or using the Products for purposes that are competitive with ONE META. You agree to use reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized use of the Products and notify us immediately if you discover any unauthorized use through your account. You will take all necessary steps to terminate the unauthorized use and agree to cooperate with us in preventing or terminating such unauthorized use of the Products. Our Products support log-ins through two-factor authentication. You acknowledge that ONE META will not be responsible for any damages, losses, or liability that would have been prevented by the implementation of such two-factor authentication by you or your Users.
AVAILABILITY OF SERVICE
While we will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep our Applications available and accessible, the Applications may be unavailable from time to time for repairs, upgrades, routine and emergency maintenance, or other interruptions that may be out of our reasonable control, including any outages of Third-Party Services (as defined in Section 5) or any related application programming interface (“APIs”) and integrations. Interruptions of our Applications shall not serve as a basis to terminate your subscription or demand any full or partial refunds or credits of prepaid and unused subscription fees. OUR USE OF THIRD PARTY INTEGRATIONS AND SERVICES Our Applications may contain links to or allow you to connect and use certain external third-party products, services, or software in conjunction with your use of our Applications and Products (“Third Party Services,” and each, a “Third Party Service”), including certain social media networks and other integration partners. To take advantage of these features, you may be required to sign up or log into such Third Party Service on their respective websites or applications. By enabling the Applications to access such Third Party Service, you are permitting ONE META to pass on your login information to the Third Party Service and granting the Third Party Service permission to access or otherwise process your data. You acknowledge that your use of such Third Party Service is governed solely by the terms and conditions, acceptable use policy, privacy policy or any other similar policy or terms of such Third Party Service (including, but not limited to, the Twitter Terms of Service located at www.twitter.com/tos and the YouTube Terms of Service located at https://www.youtube.com/t/terms) (collectively, “Third Party Service Terms”), and that ONE META does not endorse, is not liable for, and makes no representations as to the Third Party Service, its content, or the manner in which such Third Party Service uses, stores, or processes your data. We are not liable for any damage or loss arising from or in connection with your enablement of such Third Party Service and your reliance on the policies, privacy practices, and data security processes of such Third Party Service. We are not responsible or liable for any changes to or deletion of your data by the Third Party Service. Certain features of our Products may depend on the availability of these Third Party Services and the features and functionality they make available to us. We do not control Third Party Service features and functionality, and they may change without any notice to us. If any Third Party Service stops providing access to some or all of the features or functionality currently or historically available to us, or stops providing access to such features and functionality on reasonable terms, as determined by ONE META in our sole discretion, we may stop providing access to certain features and functionality of our Products. We will not be liable to you for any refunds or any damage or loss arising from or in connection with any such change made by the Third Party Service or any resulting change to our Products. You irrevocably waive any claim against ONE META with respect to such Third Party Services.
PAYMENT TERMS
You will either pay for your Plan in our Application, or upon receipt of an invoice issued by us.
Payment in Application
Monthly Plans. For monthly Plans, we will charge you on the first day of your subscription term and automatically on the same date of each subsequent month (“Monthly Pay Date”). We will continue to charge you for your Plan, including any Add-Ons, on a monthly basis unless you decide to cancel at any time by accessing the “Billing” page within the Application. If you cancel in the month preceding your Monthly Pay Date, you will not be issued any refunds or credits of prepaid and unused fees for the remainder of the subscription term and you will continue to have access to the Products until the following Monthly Pay Date.
Annual Plans. For annual Plans, we will charge you on the first day of your subscription term and automatically on the same date of each subsequent year (“Annual Pay Date”). We will continue to charge you for your Plan, including any Add-Ons, on an annual basis unless you decide to cancel prior to the Annual Pay Date by accessing the “Billing” page within the Application. If you cancel during the subscription term, you will not be issued any refunds or credits of any prepaid and unused fees for the remainder of the subscription term and you will continue to have access to the Products until the following Annual Pay Date. ONE META reserves the right to increase subscription fees for your annual Plan on your Annual Pay Date; provided, however, that such increase shall not exceed 7% over the fees related to the immediately preceding subscription term.
Annual Plans with monthly payment. For annual Plans that pay on a monthly basis, we will charge you on the first day of your subscription term and automatically on the same date of each subsequent month of your subscription term. We will continue to charge you for your Plan, including any Add-Ons, on a monthly basis throughout the duration of your subscription term and any subsequent renewal terms, unless you decide to cancel at least thirty days prior to the end of your current subscription term by notifying your account manager or support@1meta.co. If you cancel during the subscription term, you will not be issued any refunds for or credits of any prepaid and unused fees for the remainder of the subscription term, you will be required to pay any and all unpaid fees related to the subscription term, and you will continue to have access to the Products until the end of the subscription term. ONE META reserves the right to increase subscription fees for your Plan upon the first day of your renewal subscription term; provided, however, that such increase shall not exceed 7% over the fees related to the immediately preceding subscription term. Payment By Invoice. If we invoice you for your Plan, your subscription term will be detailed on the service order and your payment will be due upon receipt of the applicable invoice. Unless otherwise specified on your service order, if we do not receive payment within thirty (30) days of us issuing you the invoice, your account may be suspended and you will lose access to the Products. Unless otherwise specified on your service order, your Plan will automatically renew at the end of the subscription term. If you would like to cancel your Plan, you must provide such notice via email to support@1meta.co at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the subscription term. ONE META reserves the right to increase subscription fees upon renewal; provided, however, that such increase shall not exceed 7% over the fees related to the immediately preceding subscription term. Changes To Your Plan. If you choose to upgrade your Plan or add any Add-Ons to your Plan during your subscription term, you will be charged for the then-current price for the upgrade or Add-Ons prorated based on the number of days remaining in your subscription term. Unless otherwise specified on your service order, any upgrade or Add-Ons that you add will be coterminous with the existing Plan and automatically renew at the end of the subscription term along with your Plan. If you choose to downgrade your Plan or remove any Add-Ons from your Plan, you will not be issued any refunds or credits for the unused and prepaid fees in connection with the downgrade or removal. Downgrading your Plan may cause the loss of content, features, or capacity of your account and we do not accept any liability for any such loss. Credit Card and Paypal Authorization. By submitting your credit card or Paypal information to ONE META, you authorize ONE META to store this information with its third party service providers and to charge the credit card or Paypal account you have provided to us until your account is terminated. In addition, you authorize us to use a third-party payment processor in processing payments. If your credit card expires, or is declined or your Paypal information requires an update, we will provide you notice via email. If, for any reason, your payment cannot be completed through credit card or Paypal, we may suspend your account until we receive payment. Disputes and Late Payments. You must notify us in writing of any amounts you wish to dispute prior to the date such amounts would otherwise be due. Any undisputed amount not paid when due shall be subject to a finance charge of 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, determined and compounded daily from the date due until the date paid. You will also be required to reimburse us for any costs or expenses (including any reasonable attorneys’ fees) we incur to collect past due amounts. Any amounts due under these Terms shall not be withheld or offset by you against amounts due to you for any reason. Taxes. All payments you make are exclusive of federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, duties, tariffs, levies, withholdings, and similar assessments (including, without limitation, sales taxes, use taxes, and value-added taxes). You agree to be responsible for the payment of all such charges, excluding taxes based upon our net income. All amounts payable by you hereunder shall be grossed up for any withholding taxes imposed by any foreign government on your payment of amounts to ONE META.
CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION
Termination by You. You may terminate your account at any time without cause, but you will not be entitled to any refunds of any prepaid and unused fees, and any unpaid fees under your Plan for the applicable subscription term will become immediately due and payable. You may terminate your account and receive a prorated refund of any prepaid and unused fees, if we fail to cure a material breach of these Terms within thirty (30) days of our receipt of written notice from you describing the breach. You may also cancel your account as provided in Section 6 (Payment). Termination by Us. We may restrict functionality of the Products or temporarily suspend your account if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms. Unless we believe the need to restrict or suspend access is time-sensitive and requires immediate action without notice, or we are prohibited from providing notice under law or legal order, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you by email prior to such suspension. We will not be liable to you or any third parties for any of the foregoing actions. We may terminate your account and use of the Products for any of the following reasons: (i) you fail to comply with these Terms, (ii) you do not pay your fees in accordance with the payment terms under your Plan, (iii) at the expiration of the subscription period of your Plan if we provide prior written notice to you, (iv) you become the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (v) if we reasonably determine you are acting or have acted in a way that could present substantial reputational harm to ONE META or our current or prospective partners or customers. In no event will any termination by us for the foregoing reasons entitle you to any refunds of any prepaid and unused fees or relieve you of your obligation to pay any fees payable to us prior to the date of termination, and any unpaid fees under your Plan will become immediately due and payable. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, hateful, discriminatory or illegal activity may be grounds for immediate termination of your use of the Product and may be referred to law enforcement authorities. Post Termination. If your account is terminated, you must cease using the Products and ONE META reserves the right to delete your account settings and Content within thirty (30) days of such cancellation or termination with no liability or notice to you. Once your account settings and Content are deleted, you will not be able to recover such account settings and Content, except any Content that remains on Third Party Services pursuant to the terms and conditions of such Third-Party Services.

We will not have any obligation under this section for any infringement or misappropriation if it arises out of or is based upon: (a) any use of the Products that is in combination with other products or services if such infringement or misappropriation would not have arisen but for such combination, (b) use of the Products by you for purposes not intended, permitted, or outside of the scope of the rights granted to you under these Terms, or (c) any modification of the Products not made or authorized in writing by ONE META (the “Excluded Claims”). If you are enjoined or otherwise prohibited from using a Product or a portion thereof based on an allegation that the Product violates any third party intellectual property right, or if we reasonably determine that such prohibition is likely, then we will, at our sole expense and option: (a) obtain for you the right to use the allegedly infringing portions of the Products; (b) modify the allegedly infringing portions of the Products so as to render them non-infringing without substantially diminishing or impairing their functionality, or (c) replace the allegedly infringing portions of the Products with non-infringing items of substantially similar functionality. If we determine that the foregoing remedies are not commercially reasonable, then we may terminate the impacted subscription, or portion thereof, and will promptly provide a prorated refund or credit to you for any prepaid and unused fees. This Section 15 states ONE META’s sole and exclusive liability, and your sole and exclusive remedy, for the actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation of any third party Intellectual Property Rights by the Products.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL NOT IN ANY WAY LIMIT YOUR PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 6 ABOVE. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN WILL APPLY IN AGGREGATE TO YOU AND YOUR AFFILIATES. Independent Allocations of Risk. EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS OF THESE TERMS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OFFERED BY ONE META TO YOU AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. State Prohibition of Limitation of Liability and Disclaimer of Implied Warranties. Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply. IN THESE STATES, EACH PARTY’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Governing Law. These Terms will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the local laws of the State of Illinois, U.S.A., without reference to its choice of law rules and not including the provisions of the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Venue.

Under such limited circumstances, each party hereby expressly and irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal, state, and local courts in Cook County, Illinois in connection with such an action. Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes. You and ONE META agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms through final and binding arbitration, except to the extent either party has breached or threatened to breach its confidentiality obligations or either party has in any manner violated or threatened to violate the other party’s Intellectual Property Rights. Under such limited circumstances, ONE META may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Products, or intellectual property infringement without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described herein. In all other cases, both parties hereby agree to submit to arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rule with one (1) arbitrator to be selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If we cannot agree on the arbitrator selection, then the American Arbitration Association shall choose an arbitrator for us from the National Panel of Arbitrators.

Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, which shall include, but not be limited to, the courts within Cook County, Illinois. Waiver and Severability. The waiver by ONE META of any term or condition set out in these Terms shall not be deemed a further or continuing waiver of any other provision of these Terms, and any failure of ONE META to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal for any reason, such provision shall be limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect. Entire Agreement. Except for any service order, these Terms are the final and complete expression of the agreement between these parties regarding your use of the Products and Application. These Terms supersede, and the terms of these Terms govern, all previous oral and written communications regarding these matters. ONE META will not be bound by, and specifically objects to, any term, condition, or other provision that is different from or in addition to these Terms (whether or not it would materially alter this agreement) that is proffered by you in any receipt, invoice, acceptance, purchase order, confirmation, correspondence, or otherwise, regardless of ONE META’s failure to object to such terms, provisions or conditions. Relationship; Independent Contractor. Nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to constitute the parties as principal and agent, employer and employee, partners or joint venturers, nor shall any similar relationship be deemed to exist between the parties. Neither party shall have any power to obligate or bind the other party, except as specifically provided herein. Survival.

DMCA. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that content or material on the Products, the Applications, the Sites, or on ONE META’s website (www.1meta.co) or any of its web properties hosted on the 1meta.co domain infringes a copyright owned by you, you (or your agent) may send ONE META DMCA agent a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. This request should be sent to: support@1meta.co; or, alternatively to: ONE META., Attn: DMCA Registered Agent, 131 S. Dearborn St., Ste. 700, Chicago, IL 60603; (866) 878-3231. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity; (d) the name, address, telephone number, and email address of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the website should be sent to the address above.
