01Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, accessing, or using Som3a ID, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

02Description of the Service

Som3a ID is a platform for verified, peer-to-peer recognition. It lets you build a verified profile, receive and give reviews using meaningful labels (Trusted, Skilled, Respected, Mentor, Supportive), exchange private constructive feedback, document good acts to a permanent Lifetime timeline, and share your identity via a personal QR code. Every published review requires the profile owner’s approval before it appears publicly.

03Eligibility

Som3a ID welcomes people of every age, in two ways:

• Independent accounts: if you are old enough to consent to data processing under the law of your country (13 in the United States; up to 16 in some other countries) and old enough to enter into a binding agreement where you live, you may create and manage your own account. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, a parent or legal guardian must also consent to your use of the Service.
• Parent-Managed Accounts: a parent or legal guardian may create and control an account on behalf of a younger child, as described in Section 4 below and in our Privacy Policy. Children do not create or control their own accounts.

By creating or managing an account, you confirm that the information provided is accurate and that you meet, or are the parent/guardian of a user who is subject to, the requirements above.

04Your Account and Som3a ID

All accounts

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.
• Your Som3a ID number is unique to you and non-transferable. You may not create an account on behalf of someone else, impersonate another person, or maintain more than one account for deceptive purposes — except as permitted for Parent-Managed Accounts below.
• You agree to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.
• You may delete your account at any time from within the app; see our Privacy Policy for what happens to your data afterward.

Parent-Managed Accounts

If you create or manage a Parent-Managed Account for a child, you represent that:

• You are the child’s parent or legal guardian, or otherwise authorized to consent on their behalf;
• You are providing informed, verifiable consent to the collection and use of your child’s information as described in our Privacy Policy;
• You are responsible for reviewing and approving (or declining) any review or feedback submitted about your child, and for supervising your child’s use of the Service;
• You may access, correct, export, or delete your child’s information, and revoke your consent and close the account, at any time.

We may ask you to verify your identity and relationship to the child before granting or continuing access to a Parent-Managed Account.

05Reviews, Feedback, and User Content

Reviews and approval

Any user may submit a review of another user’s profile. A submitted review is not published until the profile owner approves it. Profile owners may decline a review; declined reviews are not published but may be retained internally for safety and abuse-prevention purposes.

Feedback for Growth

Feedback for Growth is private, constructive feedback shared directly between two users. It is never published to a public profile and is visible only to its sender and recipient.

Ownership and license

You retain ownership of the content you submit (reviews, comments, photos, Lifetime entries). By submitting content, you grant Som3a ID a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and distribute that content as necessary to operate the Service — for example, showing your approved reviews on your public profile.

Accuracy

You agree that any review or feedback you submit reflects your genuine experience or knowledge of the person being reviewed. Fabricated, incentivized, or malicious reviews are prohibited and may be removed.

06Acceptable Use

When using Som3a ID, you agree not to:

• Post false, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or abusive content;
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with someone;
• Create fake accounts, submit fraudulent reviews, or manipulate badges/labels;
• Attempt to access another user’s account or private Feedback for Growth without authorization;
• Scrape, harvest, or bulk-collect profile data from the Service;
• Upload content that infringes someone else’s intellectual property or privacy rights;
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or to violate any applicable law.

We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these rules, at our discretion.

07Intellectual Property

The Som3a ID name, logo, badge designs, app, and website — excluding user-submitted content — are the property of Som3a ID and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or create derivative works from them without our written permission.

08Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information, and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

09Third-Party Services

The Service may link to or integrate with third-party services, including the Apple App Store and Google Play. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third-party services, and your use of them is governed by their own terms.

10Disclaimers

The Service, including all reviews and content submitted by users, is provided “as is” and “as available.” Reviews reflect the opinions of individual users, not Som3a ID, and we do not guarantee their accuracy. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the Service’s reliability, availability, or fitness for a particular purpose, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Som3a ID and its team will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service, including damages resulting from reviews or content submitted by other users, loss of data, or loss of reputation. Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, if any (noting the Service is free to use).

12Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Som3a ID harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms.

13Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent or abusive behavior, or for any other reason at our discretion, with notice where reasonably practicable.

14Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved in the courts, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

15Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll notify you through the app or by other reasonable means before the changes take effect. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
