Terms of Service

1. Who we are

SocialPulse.com is operated by SocialPulse Inc.(“SocialPulse”, “we”, “us”, “our”). We operate a network of specialist community sites including but not limited to CivicPulse.blog, SocialPulse.blog, WorldPulse.pro, USAPulse.net, Indias.com, Kerala.com, HotelsPulse.pro, PhotoPulse.pro, TheNewsPulse.pro, FoodPulse, FarmersPulse, NaturePulse, TravelerPulse, AlumniPulse, WebsiteTech.pro, FamilyTree.team and other properties listed in our Network Registry (each a “Network Site”). Together the Network Sites and SocialPulse.com are the “Services”.

2. Acceptance of these Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required by your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to create a SocialPulse account. Some Network Sites — including memorial, family tree, or health-related surfaces — may set higher age or verification thresholds. Users under 18 may only use the Services with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

4. Your account and one-identity model

SocialPulse operates a single shared identity across every Network Site. When you sign in on any Network Site with SocialPulse SSO you may be automatically recognized on every other Network Site you visit. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. Tell us immediately at support@socialpulse.com if you suspect unauthorised access.

5. Content you post

You retain ownership of the content you submit ("Your Content") — posts, comments, photos, civic reports, articles, reviews, family records, memorials and anything else. By posting Your Content to the Services you grant SocialPulse a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, translate, modify for formatting, publish, and display Your Content across the Network Sites solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Services and delivering your content to the audiences you select. You warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this licence.

6. Community rules

You must not use the Services to post or transmit content that: (a) is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, abusive, or hateful; (b) infringes any intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity right; (c) impersonates any person or entity; (d) contains malware, spam, or unauthorised advertising; (e) exploits minors, or promotes violence or self-harm; (f) misrepresents the source, location, or verification status of civic reports, medical needs, memorials, family records, or organizations.

We may remove content, suspend or terminate accounts, and cooperate with law-enforcement when these rules are broken.

7. Verification labels and Social Capital

SocialPulse assigns verification labels (e.g. Verified Authority, Verified Organization, Trusted Reporter) based on evidence we collect at the time of verification. Labels reflect our best-effort assessment; they are not a guarantee of accuracy, quality, or safety of any content, organization, or third party. Social Capital scores reflect community contributions recorded on your account ledger and can be disputed via our correction procedure.

8. Third-party content and Network Sites

The Services surface content that originates on Network Sites and in some cases on independent third-party sites. Each item shows the canonical owner and a link to the source. SocialPulse Inc. operates each Network Site listed in the Network Registry, but individual editorial, moderation, and pricing decisions may differ per site. Third-party links are provided for convenience and their content is not our responsibility.

9. Payments and paid features

Certain Network Sites (for example, HotelsPulse.pro bookings or publisher subscription products) may charge fees. Pricing, refund, and cancellation terms specific to those features are disclosed at the point of purchase and form part of these Terms.

10. Prohibited use of automated tools

You must not scrape, spider, crawl, or otherwise programmatically harvest the Services except through our published Federation API with a valid Consumer ID and within the applicable rate limits. You must not attempt to bypass authentication, rate-limiting, or content-verification systems.

11. Intellectual property

The SocialPulse name, logos, and other proprietary marks used on the Services belong to SocialPulse Inc. Except for Your Content and third-party content displayed with attribution, all material on the Services (software, design, text, illustrations, database structure) is owned by SocialPulse or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property law.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY CONTENT, VERIFICATION, LOCATION, OR OUTCOME IS ACCURATE OR RELIABLE. SOCIALPULSE IS NOT AN EMERGENCY SERVICE — IN AN EMERGENCY, CONTACT LOCAL AUTHORITIES.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SOCIALPULSE INC.'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (a) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE PRECEDING TWELVE MONTHS, OR (b) US$100. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

14. Termination

You may close your account at any time via account settings on SocialPulse.com. We may suspend or terminate your access to any or all Network Sites at our discretion for violation of these Terms, security concerns, or as required by law. Deletion is handled per our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection law.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which SocialPulse Inc. is incorporated, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the competent courts of that jurisdiction unless mandatory local law provides otherwise.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be highlighted at the top of this page and, where required by law, notified to you by email. Continued use of the Services after the change means you accept the revised Terms.
