About Us / Terms of Service ("Terms")

Terms of Service ("Terms")

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before accessing the information available on https://www.signupgenius.com (the "Site") operated by SignUpGenius, Inc. ("SignUpGenius", "us", "we", or "our"), and before using the services, features and functionality made available by SignUpGenius via the Site (collectively with the Site, the "Services").

Access to the Site and use of the Services is conditioned upon your acceptance of, and compliance with, these Terms. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.  If you disagree with any part of these Terms, then you do not have permission to access the Services, and you must immediately cease accessing and/or using the Services.

Services

The Services offered by SignUpGenius allow you to, among other things, create online sign up forms to help you (the "Creator") organize events and coordinate groups of people participating in those events.  After creating an online sign up form for a particular event, the Creator can invite participants (each, a "Participant") to sign up for such event using the online sign up form created by the Creator. 

In order to use the Services to create a sign up form, the Creator must register on the Site by providing us with certain requested information, such as name and email address, and establishing a password.  Creating an account on the Site is optional for Participants. Creators and Participants who choose to create an account may also choose to provide other optional information, such as a photo, address, and phone number.

All Creators and Participants agree to subscribe to the newsletters, marketing or promotional materials, and any other information SignUpGenius may send. You can unsubscribe from communications that are not specifically related to sign ups you are connected to by clicking on the "Unsubscribe" link or by following the instructions provided in those communications. If you do not wish to receive any communications from SignUpGenius, you may contact us, and our staff will delete you from our system.


Paid Subscriptions

Certain Services are offered by SignUpGenius on a paid subscription basis ("Paid Subscriptions"). If you wish to purchase any Paid Subscription, you will be asked to supply certain information relevant to your purchase including, without limitation, your credit card number, your credit card verification code, the expiration date of your credit card, and your billing address (collectively, "Payment Information").

You represent and warrant that: (i) you have the legal right to use any credit card(s) or other payment method(s) provided by you in connection with any purchase of any Paid Subscription; and (ii) the Payment Information you supply to us is true, accurate and complete.

You understand that by purchasing a Paid Subscription your subscription will remain active until you cancel. Your Paid Subscription will automatically renew on a monthly or annual basis, depending on your selection at the time of purchase, and you will be billed automatically for such renewal.  If the renewal charge fails, you will lose access to your Paid Subscription. You can cancel your Paid Subscription within the billing settings in your account details.  If you cancel your Paid Subscription, you will still be able to use the product for the remaining duration of the active subscription period.  All subscription payments are non-refundable.

SignUpGenius may use a third party payment processing service for the purposes of facilitating payment and the completion of purchases of Paid Subscriptions. By submitting your Payment Information via the Site, you grant us the right to provide such Payment Information to any third party payment processing service we use for the foregoing purposes.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order for a Paid Subscription at any time for any reason in our sole discretion, including but not limited to: (a) product or service availability, (b) errors in the description or price of the product or service, or (c) error in your order for a Paid Subscription.  In addition, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order for a Paid Subscription if fraud or an unauthorized or illegal transaction is suspected by us in our sole discretion.

Paid Subscription features may be added, removed, or altered at any time in the sole discretion of SignUpGenius.

Collecting Payments

The Services may allow you, as a Creator, to activate a feature to collect payments from Participants for sign up items or donations (the "Payments Service").  SignUpGenius offers payments through Stripe, Inc. ("powered by Stripe"). 

By activating the Payments Service as a Creator, or using the Payments Service as a Participant, you understand and agree to the following: 

(a) As the Creator, you are solely responsible for the management and distribution of funds received by those who initiate payments through the platform. We shall not be held liable for any mismanagement of funds collected. 
(b) You acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed and understand the fees charged for payment collection using the Payments Service. 
(c) Fees that are charged in connection with your use of the Payments Service are nonrefundable. 
(d) SignUpGenius does not store credit card information. Your credit card information is stored securely with a separate billing service. 
(e) As a Creator, you are solely responsible for the delivery of goods and/or services as advertised. Any disputes regarding funds collected by you are your responsibility. 
(f) As a Participant, you understand that the goods and/or services advertised are provided by the Creator, and not SignUpGenius. If you have any disputes regarding such goods and/or services, or regarding the funds collected using Payments Service, you must resolve such disputes with the Creator. 

Availability, Errors and Inaccuracies

We are constantly updating the products and services offered via the Site, and we reserve the right to modify or delete any Services at any time in our sole discretion. We may experience delays in updating information on the Site and in any advertising we do related to our products and services on third party web sites. The information found on the Site may contain errors or inaccuracies and may not be complete or current. Services may be mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable on the Site, and we cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information found on the Site.

We, therefore, reserve the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice.

Contests, Sweepstakes and Promotions

Any contests, sweepstakes or other promotions (collectively, "Promotions") made available by SignUpGenius through the Services may be governed by rules that are separate from these Terms.  If you participate in any Promotions made available by SignUpGenius, you are responsible for reviewing and complying with the applicable rules.  If the rules for a SignUpGenius Promotion conflict with these Terms, the Promotion rules will apply.

If you, as a Creator, use the Services to communicate or administer a Promotion, you are responsible for the lawful operation of such Promotion, including the official rules, other terms and eligibility requirements, and compliance with applicable rules and regulations governing the Promotion and all prizes offered.  Your official rules must include a complete release of SignUpGenius by each entrant of your Promotion, and an acknowledgement from each entrant that the Promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, or administered by, or associated with, SignUpGenius.  SignUpGenius will not assist you in the administration of your Promotion, and you agree that if you use the Services to administer a Promotion, you do so at your own risk.

Content

Our Services may allow you to post, link, store, share and otherwise make available certain information, text, graphics, videos, or other material ("User Content"). You are responsible for any and all User Content that you post on or through the Services, including its legality, reliability, accuracy, and appropriateness.

By posting User Content on or through the Services, you represent and warrant that: (i) you own such User Content and/or that you have the right to use it, and (ii) the posting of such User Content on or through the Services does not violate any intellectual property or proprietary rights of any person or entity, including any privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, or any other contract rights. We reserve the right to terminate the account of anyone found to be infringing a third party's intellectual property or other proprietary right.

You retain any and all rights to any User Content you submit, post or display on or through the Services. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for User Content you or any third party posts on or through the Services, or that is posted publicly as a result of your use of the Services. The extent to which your User Content is available publicly is determined by the settings you choose as part of the Services. You are responsible for the ways in which your User Content is published via the Services. SignUpGenius assumes no responsibility for how User Content is shared by anyone not employed by SignUpGenius.

SignUpGenius has the right but not the obligation to monitor and edit all User Content provided by you and any other user of the Services.

Any materials, information, and other content made available through, or created by, the Services ("SUG Content") is the property of SignUpGenius and may only be used as intended as part of the Services or with permission. You may not distribute, modify, transmit, reuse, download, repost, copy, or use SUG Content, whether in whole or in part, for commercial purposes or for personal gain, outside of its intended purposes in connection with the Services without express advance written permission from SignUpGenius.

When you create an account with us, you represent and warrant that you are above the age of 13, and that the information you provide us is accurate, complete, and current at all times. Inaccurate, incomplete, or obsolete information may result in the immediate termination of your account.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account user name and password (collectively, "User Credentials"), including but not limited to the restriction of access to your computer and/or your account information. You agree to accept responsibility for any and all activities or actions that occur in connection with your User Credentials. You must notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of the security or unauthorized use of your account or your User Credentials.
