Full Terms of Service

Last update: September 20, 2023

Otso Co. provides affordable social media management services as described on our website (www.otsoco.com). By signing up for our services, you agree to have read and understood our terms & conditions.


1. Collaboration & Communication

1.1 - Service Delivery: Otso Co. strives to deliver the highest quality services in a timely manner. Each client works with an account manager as their point of contact and support. A successful partnership relies on timely, honest, and detailed feedback. Approval of deliverables is considered final, and no more revisions are allowed after approval.

1.2 - Social Media Account Issues: Since we work with third-party social media platforms, we cannot control issues such as connection errors, disconnections, or password changes. However, we will do our best to resolve errors within our control. Please contact the support of each platform for issues outside of our control.

1.3 - Scheduling & Posting: You acknowledge that Otso Co. cannot schedule and post approved content until at least one platform has been connected to our Scheduling Platform. If you are unable to connect your social media channels successfully, it does not warrant a refund, as we still create the actual content and posts for you.

If connection issues cannot be resolved, you can download the posts and manually post them on your own. Otso Co.'s posting and scheduling is a free, value-add service, meaning no pro-rated refunds will be offered for issues related to this. We will, however, do our best to resolve any technical issues.

1.4 - Support: Due to our low-cost, high-volume nature, we only offer support and communication through our dashboard, live chat, or email - no calls.

1.5 - Client Delays After Signup: Our service delivery begins as soon as you have signed up and completed the questionnaire. If you do not complete the onboarding questionnaire, it does not warrant a refund.

Your payment(s) will turn into credits you can use in the future whenever you want, and they will never expire. We will not push back the billing date for delays caused by you. We will start creating the next batch of services as soon as the next charge is made, even if it is just a week after the first delivery was approved.

1.6 - Lack of Feedback or Approval: Once we send you the deliverables, we expect you to provide timely feedback or approval. If you delay this, causing time-sensitive posts to become outdated, we will not replace those posts with new ones.

If we do not receive feedback or approvals by the time your next month's charge arrives, we will start creating the next month of content, so that we keep delivering what you paid for. If it has been more than 30 days since we sent you the posts for approval, you can no longer make any revision requests for that batch. As long as we have created and delivered your posts, we are fulfilling our Service as described.

1.7 - Respectful Communication: Due to our high-volume business nature, we have many clients, the majority of whom are pleasant to work with. However, we occasionally encounter clients who are rude, impolite, and disrespectful. We will not tolerate such behavior and will cancel their accounts immediately without warning. No refunds will be made in this case, with no exceptions.

1.8 - Best Practice: If you change your password, please inform us immediately. Monitor your accounts to ensure posts are being published successfully. Provide us with clear direction and feedback and communicate with us as you would with any in-house team member.

The worst thing you can do after we deliver your posts is to remain silent for weeks without providing any feedback and then suddenly tell us you want to cancel because you are not satisfied. We have a talented team capable of creating any type of content for you.

If you are not satisfied, it is likely due to unclear communication of your wants and needs. We are happy to make the necessary revisions based on your detailed feedback. Therefore, please work with us instead of going silent or requesting to cancel right away. By maintaining open and consistent communication, we can collaborate to create content that meets your expectations and enhances your social media presence.


2. Refund Policy

Given the substantial manual work and effort involved in our services, we adhere to a strict no-refund policy under most circumstances. Here are the details of our refund policy:

2.1 - No Refunds: We do not offer refunds after you complete the 14-day money-back guarantee period, as our team dedicates time and effort to creating and managing bespoke content for our clients.

2.2 - Connectivity Issues: If a client encounters issues connecting their social media channels to our scheduling platform, we do not offer refunds. Instead, we advise clients to post the content manually on their own.

2.3 - Results & Performance: You are paying us for time and work performed. Our work is not contingent upon any form of marketing results.

If you have any questions about our refund policy, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Any information shared must not be publicly known, and we will not use or disclose it except as needed for service delivery or as required by law. This confidentiality commitment lasts for the duration of our service provision and extends for two years after its conclusion. Breaches of this confidentiality may result in legal action to prevent further disclosure and to recover damages.


11. CREDIT CARD DISPUTES

11.1 - Credit Card Disputes - Charges are presumed accurate unless disputed within 14 days. Disputes halt all credits, refunds, and account work. Negotiation is preferred over disputes. Even if you win a dispute, due to your bank siding with you even though it’s clearly against our terms and conditions, we then will send you an invoice the disputed amount and any fees with payment due upon receipt. If it isn’t paid we escalate the situation with legal action.
