Billing/Refunds Policy

If you purchase any of our Services that are provided for a fee (“Paid Services”), you agree to pay us the applicable fees and taxes as stated within the Site and/or Services at the time of purchase. Failure to pay these fees may result in the termination of your access or subscription to the Paid Services. Your purchase may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on location (e.g. exchange rates). You must pay us for applicable fees and taxes unless you cancel the Paid Service, in which case you agree to still pay these fees through the end of any applicable subscription period. This Agreement describes additional terms applicable to certain types of fees and payments, but nothing herein shall restrict Social Tuto from charging or using other types of fees and payment methods.

When you register and provide your payment information for a portion of the Services that is provided as a “subscription”, you obtain the right to use and access the specific Services comprising that subscription for a specific limited period of time, i.e., the subscription period as specified in the application or registration form or otherwise within the Site and/or Services in consideration for your payment of the applicable subscription fee for such period. You also agree that at the end of each current subscription period, your subscription will be automatically renewed for an additional subscription period at the then-current subscription rates (which may be increased from period to period) unless you cancel your subscription at least twenty four (24) hours prior to the renewal date. If you timely cancel a subscription prior to the end of its then-current subscription period, your subscription will be cancelled effective as of the end of the applicable subscription period and you will be obligated to pay the applicable subscription fees through the end of the applicable subscription period.

When you register for a portion of the Services that is made available for a “free trial period”, you obtain the right to use and access the specific Services comprising that “free trial” for a specific limited period of time, i.e., the trial period as specified in the application or registration form or otherwise within the Site and/or Services. While there is no charge for the applicable Services during the applicable free trial period, you may be asked to provide your payment information (e.g., credit card) at the time you register for the free trial and, by so doing, you are deemed to agree to purchase a full, paid subscription for the applicable Service unless you cancel such purchase prior to the end of such free trial period.

Social Tuto reserves the right to accept or discontinue acceptance of any payment method for any Paid Service or other fee or charge from time to time without notice. Social Tuto may accept a given payment method from some users but not others, depending on credit risk or other factors. If you wish to purchase any Paid Service (whether via the Site or Services or via telephone, mail-order, telemarketing efforts, customer service representatives, account representatives or other sales channels) (each such purchase, a “Transaction”), you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to your Transaction, including without limitation your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit/debit card, bank account information (for electronic check or ACH payments), your billing address, your shipping information and/or your email address. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD(S) UTILIZED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION. By submitting such information, you grant to Social Tuto the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating the completion of Transactions initiated by you or on your behalf. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any Transaction. As permitted by our Privacy Policy, we will also have the right to save your credit or debit card information and use it for all future charges, which will automatically be charged to your saved information unless you notify Social Tuto of different payment information. We are not responsible for any fees or charges your bank or credit/debit card issuer may apply. If your credit/debit card issuer or bank reverses or refuses a charge to your credit/debit card or bank account, we may bill you directly and seek payment by another method such as a mailed statement. We may also cease providing Paid Services to you if we are unable to collect fees that are due.

Refunds and exchanges will be subject to Social Tuto’s refund and exchange policies in effect at the time of the attempted refund or exchange. Unless expressly stated otherwise within the Site or Service, Membership fees, subscription fees and other fees and charges are generally non-refundable.

Legal Bases for Processing Your Information.We collect and use information about you pursuant to applicable law, contractual obligations, and with transparency and fairness. The legal basis for processing depends on the products or services you use and how you use them. We rely on the following lawful grounds:

Consent. Where appropriate or legally required, we collect and use your information subject to your consent. Performance of contract. We collect and use information about you to enter into a contract with you or to perform a contract that you have with us. Legitimate interests. We collect and use information about you for our legitimate interests, for example to deliver the products and services that you request, to market the products and services that you request or that we think you may be interested in, and to optimize your experience with our products and services.

Compliance with laws. We may also collect and use information about you: (i) as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, (ii) when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or property, protect your health and safety or the health and safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request, or (iii) if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets.

We do not use personal information about you in any automated decision making or profiling that would have a legal or similarly significant effect on you without obtaining your consent.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary anywhere else in this policy or in our User Terms, we reserve the right to use your personal information in any manner and for any purpose so long as we remove portions of the information that could be used to identify you as the source of that information and/or aggregate it with information of a substantial amount of other users such that no user could be individually identified by a user of such information, all in accordance with applicable law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary anywhere else in this policy or in our User Terms, we may disclose personal information received from any source as we believe to be necessary or appropriate: (a) under applicable law, including laws outside your country of residence; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) to respond to requests from public and government authorities, including public and government authorities outside your country of residence; (d) to enforce our User Terms and other terms and conditions; (e) to protect our operations; (f) to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of you or others; and (g) to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.

Access/Changes:If you wish to have access to information about you in our records, please contact us with your request using the contact information in Section 17. You may also request that we update information about you, or request correction of any factual errors that you believe may exist regarding this information. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate such requests. In any event, in no event will we be able to provide you with information about you that is not readily personally identifiable in our records or which would be prohibited by law.

Email Marketing Opt-Out:We may use your information to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving any, or all, of these communications from us by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in any email we send. You will still continue to receive service-related messages concerning products and services you have purchased (unless we have indicated otherwise).

Do Not Track Signals: Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT.

California Consumer Rights: California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California consumers to request information regarding the disclosure of their personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. If you are a California consumer and wish to make such a request, please contact us using the contact information in Section 17.

From time to time, we might offer social media or other interactive functionality (e.g., forums, discussion groups, chat rooms) associated with courses, programs or networking (collectively, “Interactive Forums”). Keep in mind that if you choose to post information in any Interactive Forum, you may be revealing your personal information to the public. If you do not wish for your personal information to be disclosed to the public, you should not include any personal information in your postings, or you should refrain from using Interactive Forums. By using Social Tuto Interactive Forums and other interactive functions of the Services, you acknowledge that Social Tuto has no control over what third parties may do with any personal information that you post. Further, your interactions with any Interactive Forum provided by a third party, including any interactions with us on social media platforms, are governed by the privacy policy and terms of use of the company providing it.

We seek to use reasonable and appropriate organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect personal information within our organization. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us using the contact information in Section 17.

The Site may contain advertisements and links to other sites. Social Tuto is not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of any advertisers or linked sites or for the privacy policies or practices of any other third parties. To the extent that you disclose information to any advertisers, linked sites or other third parties, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of information you disclose to them, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before disclosing information to them.

We recognize the privacy interests of children and encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests. Children under 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area) should not use the Site or the Services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under those ages. If we learn that we’ve collected personal data from a child under those ages, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. If you believe that Social Tuto may have collected personal data from a child under those ages, please contact us using the contact information in Section 17.

We store your information as long as it is necessary to provide our products and services and fulfill the transactions you requested. Where appropriate or legally required, we retain your information indefinitely for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal and contractual obligations, resolving disputes, enforcing our agreements, or as is reasonably necessary for other business purposes.

We are located in the United States (“US”). If you choose to provide us with your information, we may transfer your personal information cross-border for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. If you are located in the European Union (“EU”) or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from the laws of the US, please note that you are transferring your information to the US, which does not have the same data protection laws as the EU.

With knowledge of these risks, by providing your personal information you understand: (i) your personal information will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy; and (ii) your personal information will be transferred to the US and other jurisdictions, in accordance with applicable law.

We ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any sensitive personal information (e.g., social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, criminal background or trade union membership) on or through the Services or otherwise to us, unless specifically required or requested by us in connection with the Services (e.g., payment information).

We may change our Privacy Policy at any time. The date the Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are encouraged to periodically visit this Privacy Policy to check for any changes. In any event, your further use of our Site and Services, or your providing of information to us, after a change to our Privacy Policy will be subject to the updated policy.
