General terms and conditions

for the "SOCIALMONK" service

1. scope
1.1 Majuma GmbH, Schatzbogen 33, 81829 Munich, e-mail: info@socialmonk.net operates an Instagram management service called “SOCIALMONK”, which can be accessed on the Internet at the URL www.socialmonk.net. With SOCIALMONK, users can subscribe to an Instagram manager that promotes the reach of an Instagram profile by generating followers and likes.

1.2 The offer is addressed to consumers and entrepreneurs. Consumer is according to § Any natural person who makes a purchase on SOCIALMONK for a purpose that is predominantly not attributable to his or her commercial or self-employed professional activity. Entrepreneur in the sense of § 14 BGB (German Civil Code) is any natural or legal person or partnership with legal capacity who, upon conclusion of the contract, acts in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity.

1.3 These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) are an integral part of the contract and apply to all, and therefore also future, business relationships between Majuma GmbH and you in connection with the SOCIALMONK service. The GTC are accepted by you in full in the version applicable at the time of the conclusion of the contract. Any regulations deviating from these terms and conditions, in particular also your possible general terms and conditions, are hereby contradicted.

1.4 As far as Majuma GmbH updates these GTC, it will inform its customers immediately about the new version. The new GTC shall become part of the contract if the customer has agreed to them or does not object to the GTC within two weeks after notification of the update.

2. performance models, registration, profile
SOCIALMONK can be booked with different levels of support in three subscription models: the Starter, Standard or Business version. There is no entitlement to use. In all three offered subscription models, we assign a human and personal account manager to the Instagram account that is the subject of the contract. The Account Manager shall not create or publish any content on the Customer’s Instagram profile (including, without limitation, any posts, stories, comments). In addition, an account manager will not read or send Instagram messages. However, the account manager strives to promote the organic growth of a client’s Instagram profile by manually exercising Follow, Like, and Story View interactions on Instagram with a set amount of time per day. A customer profile is actively managed during the contract period in the Starter version of SOCIALMONK with single time per day, in the Standard version with double time per day, in the Business version with triple time per day. SOCIALMONK explicitly does not use bots for its services because this would violate Instagram’s terms of use.

5.4 The obligation to pay the subscription price in full remains unaffected if Majuma GmbH cannot provide the services owed for reasons that are not within its sphere of influence (e.g. due to lack of notification of the current Instagram access data or private switching of the Instagram profile by the customer, unavailability of Instagram, blocking of any kind by Instagram).
