Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Soma Digital Community ("SDC", "Soma", "we", "us", or "our"). These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of our website, community, AI tools, business operating system features, marketplace, social media tools, subscriptions, Creator Credits, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

By creating an account, buying credits, connecting a third-party account, subscribing, publishing content, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Services.

2. Account Registration, Eligibility, and Security

You are responsible for providing accurate account, profile, onboarding, business, billing, and contact information. You are also responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account.

Some areas of the Services may require email verification, an active subscription, Creator Credits, connected social accounts, or administrator approval. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, abuse the platform, create security risk, or interfere with other users.

3. Community Rules and User Content

SDC is a professional community for entrepreneurs, creators, marketers, and business builders. You agree not to post, upload, publish, schedule, distribute, or transmit content that is illegal, abusive, harassing, deceptive, infringing, hateful, sexually exploitative, spammy, or harmful.

You retain ownership of content you submit, including posts, comments, prompts, assets, uploads, business information, and generated content you choose to use. You grant SDC a limited license to host, process, display, store, transmit, moderate, and use that content only as needed to operate and improve the Services.

We may remove content, limit reach, disable publishing, or take account action when we believe content violates these Terms, platform rules, third-party policies, intellectual property rights, or applicable law.

4. Subscriptions, Creator Credits, and Billing

SDC may offer Explorer, Pro, Elite, Enterprise, or other plan levels. Paid plans are billed through third-party payment processors such as Paystack or PayPal. Subscription pricing, included features, monthly Creator Credit allocations, limits, and plan benefits may change over time.

Creator Credits are an in-app usage unit for eligible AI-powered features. Users may receive monthly credits based on plan rules or may buy credit bundles. Credits do not represent cash, stored value, cryptocurrency, or a deposit account, and they may only be used inside SDC for supported features.

Credit charges may be reserved before an AI request runs and finalized after completion. If a request fails before completion, reserved credits may be refunded according to our platform rules. Scheduling content itself does not consume credits unless AI generation is used.

Unless required by law or expressly stated at purchase, subscription fees, marketplace purchases, and Creator Credit bundles are non-refundable. Cancellations, downgrades, and failed payments may affect access, limits, and included credits at the end of the applicable billing or entitlement period.

5. AI Features and Generated Outputs

The Services may include AI Mentor, AI Chat, AI Studio, content generation, image generation, video generation, audio or voice generation, translation, business planning, sales coaching, funnel generation, social media generation, and related AI workflows.

AI outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, offensive, non-compliant, or unsuitable for your specific business, audience, jurisdiction, brand, or platform. You are responsible for reviewing, editing, fact-checking, testing, and approving all AI outputs before relying on them or publishing them.

Before sharing or publishing an AI output, you are responsible for checking factual claims, confidential or personal information, permissions, intellectual property, required disclosures, audience suitability, and any professional advice or regulatory obligations that may apply.

SDC does not guarantee revenue, business growth, ad performance, legal compliance, tax treatment, financial outcomes, medical outcomes, investment returns, or platform approval. AI-generated guidance is informational and educational only and is not professional legal, tax, medical, financial, investment, or accounting advice.

6. BYOK and Third-Party AI Providers

If you connect your own AI provider keys through BYOK (Bring Your Own API Key), you authorize SDC to use those credentials only for authenticated requests made by your account and according to your selected provider mode.

You are responsible for your own provider accounts, API usage, invoices, rate limits, acceptable-use rules, model availability, and third-party terms. SDC is not responsible for charges, suspensions, data handling, model behavior, or service interruptions caused by your third-party provider accounts.

7. Social Accounts, Scheduling, and Publishing

If you connect TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, or other social accounts, you authorize SDC to store encrypted OAuth tokens and use them for the features you enable, such as account management, scheduling, publishing, analytics, token refresh, and related workflow automation.

You are responsible for ensuring that all content you generate, schedule, upload, reuse, or publish complies with each social platform's rules, advertising policies, intellectual property rules, and applicable law. SDC does not guarantee that scheduled posts will publish successfully or that social platforms will accept, rank, display, monetize, or maintain your content.

Where the Scheduler presents platform settings such as AI-generated-content labels, branded-content or promotion disclosures, privacy, comments, destination, audience, format, or publish mode, you are responsible for selecting accurate settings and reviewing the final preview before scheduling or publishing. Provider capabilities and app-review restrictions may limit which settings are available.

8. Marketplace, Digital Products, and Licenses

The SDC Academy offers courses, certifications, exams, certificates, and course-specific reseller rights where enabled. The SDC Marketplace offers non-course products such as templates, resources, digital products, tools, bundles, MRR products, resale-enabled products, and related assets. Your right to access or resell an item depends on the specific license, tier, purchase terms, and product rules shown at the time of access or purchase.

You may not copy, resell, sublicense, distribute, or commercialize marketplace assets unless the applicable product license expressly allows it. Where MRR or resale rights are offered, you must comply with all license terms, pricing restrictions, branding rules, platform policies, and applicable laws.

Course access, certification, and course-specific Master Resell Rights are separate entitlements. A course purchase, plan inclusion, or promo code does not automatically grant MRR unless the applicable offer says so. Where a course requires completion or certification before MRR eligibility, you must satisfy that gate before an MRR checkout or reseller license can be created.

External courses or programs may be offered in the Marketplace only when their listing clearly states the delivery method, external platform, access instructions, license, pricing, and support responsibilities. External access is subject to the third party's terms and availability.

9. Intellectual Property and Platform Rights

The SDC platform, design, software, workflows, prompts, interfaces, trademarks, content, systems, documentation, and proprietary resources are owned by SDC or its licensors. You receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Services according to your account status and these Terms.

You may not reverse engineer, scrape, resell, abuse, interfere with, or bypass limits, security controls, rate limits, entitlement checks, payment checks, or access controls in the Services.

10. Service Availability, Changes, and Beta Features

We may add, remove, limit, suspend, rename, or modify features, models, integrations, pricing, credit rules, usage limits, provider routing, publishing workflows, or marketplace items at any time. Some features may be experimental, beta, provider-dependent, or subject to third-party availability.

We may perform maintenance or experience outages. We are not liable for delays, data loss, failed generations, failed publishing attempts, third-party downtime, provider outages, or interruptions outside our reasonable control.

11. Limitation of Liability

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, SDC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, lost-profit, lost-revenue, lost-data, reputational, platform-ban, or business-interruption damages.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the Services will not exceed the amount you paid to SDC for the Services giving rise to the claim during the three months before the event that caused the claim, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

12. Updates to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the product, laws, providers, or business model evolves. We will update the date above and may provide notice for material changes. Continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

These Terms are intended to be clear and practical, but they are not a substitute for legal advice. You should consult qualified counsel for your own legal obligations.

13. Privacy and Data Requests

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, retain, and protect information used with the Services. By using the Services, you acknowledge that information may be processed by the infrastructure, payment, AI, notification, and social providers needed to operate the features you choose to use.

Depending on your location, applicable law may give you rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or export certain personal information, withdraw consent, or request information about automated processing. Submit a request to support@somatoday.com or through /support. We may verify your identity and apply lawful exceptions or retention requirements.

Support tickets may include private account and service information. Do not include passwords, API keys, OAuth codes, payment card numbers, or other secrets in a ticket. You are responsible for keeping any support reference and account credentials secure.
