Socio

Terms of Service

Last updated September 16, 2026

This is a general template describing how Socio actually operates today. It is not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney, and it does not yet specify a governing jurisdiction, payout schedule or refund terms — have a lawyer review and complete it before relying on it as your binding legal agreement.

1. Agreement to terms

By creating an account or using Socio, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, please don't use Socio.

2. What Socio is

Socio is a custom software studio. Prospective clients discuss project scope, budget, and timeframe directly with us through the Discussion Desk before any engagement begins. Socio also runs a growth partner program that pays a referral commission on closed deals.

3. Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating an account
You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for activity under your account
Growth partner accounts require you to be 18 or older, confirmed by your own self-certification

For Clients

Messages sent through the Discussion Desk are a discussion of your project needs, not a binding contract by themselves
Pricing, scope, timeline and code-ownership terms for actual engagements are agreed to separately and directly with us before any paid work begins
We may decline to take on a project at our discretion

For Growth Partners

You earn a 23% commission on the value of any deal that closes from a client you referred, as tracked in your growth partner dashboard
Commission is calculated once a referred client's deal is marked closed in our system; payout timing and method will be confirmed with you directly — this isn't yet a fixed, published schedule
Self-referrals, fraudulent referrals or misrepresenting Socio to prospective clients are prohibited and may result in forfeiting commission and/or account termination
We don't guarantee any minimum number of referrals, conversions or earnings

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Attempt to access another user's account or data
Interfere with or disrupt Socio's systems, including attempting to bypass rate limits or security controls
Use Socio for any unlawful purpose

5. Intellectual property

Socio's branding, website and platform are our property. Ownership of code and deliverables produced for a specific client engagement is governed by that engagement's separate agreement, not by these Terms.

6. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

Socio is provided "as is." To the fullest extent permitted by law, Socio is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or platform.

7. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account for violating these Terms, including growth partner fraud or abuse. You may stop using Socio and request account deletion at any time by emailing direct@socio.com.

8. Governing law

[Governing jurisdiction to be specified] — this section is a placeholder and should be completed with legal advice before these Terms are treated as binding.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as Socio changes. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
