Terms of Service

Last Updated: October 12, 2021

Welcome to Hopscotch’s Terms of Service (“TOS”). Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they contain the legal terms and conditions that govern your use, subscription and access of the Service.

This Agreement (the “Agreement” or “TOS”) is between Blue Fidelity Inc. (“Hopscotch”) and the Customer as applicable. You are the “Customer” under this Agreement if you by clicking or tapping on a button indicating your acceptance of this Agreement, by executing a document that references this Agreement, or by using the Services. If you are an organization, the individual who agrees to this Agreement on your behalf must have the authority to bind you to this Agreement.

Services
1. Our Services. “Services” means our websites, such as hopscotch.social (and all its current and future subdomains), applications, and any services that you access or purchase through our websites or applications, but do not include Third-Party services that you access or use in connection with our services.
2. Permission to Use. Subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with the TOS, Hopscotch grants you limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable permission to access and use the Service for your personal, internal use during the Term at the level of service for which you have paid all applicable fees.
3. Third Party Features. Our Services interact with Social Networks and other Third-Party services and depend on the availability of those services and the features and functionality they make available to us, which we do not control and may change without notice. If at any time a service stops making some or all of its features or functionality available to us, or available to us on reasonable terms as determined by Hopscotch in its sole discretion, we may stop providing access to those features or functionality and we will not be liable to you or any third party for any such change.
4. Third Party Terms. Hopscotch provides tools through the Service that enable you to import and export information, including User Content, to and from third party services, including through features that allow you to link your account on Hopscotch with an account on a third party social network service. By using one of these tools, you agree that Hopscotch may transfer that information to and from the applicable third party service. Third party services are not under Hopscotch’s control, and Hopscotch is not responsible for any third party service’s use of your exported information. The Service may also contain links to third party websites. Linked websites are not under Hopscotch’s control, and Hopscotch is not responsible for their content.
5. Support Services. Hopscotch may need to access your account in order to deliver support and customer services.
6. Changes to Services. Hopscotch continually changes and improves the Services. The Customer’s use of any new features and functionality added to the Services may be subject to additional or different terms relating to such new features and functionality. Hopscotch may alter or remove functionality from the Services at any time, such as by changing, adding or removing features, for any reason. We may or may not provide notice of those changes to you. We will not be liable to you or any third party for the modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of any of our Services. Hopscotch will inform the Customer of any additional or different terms as set out in Section 8.1.
7. Suspension of Services. Hopscotch may limit or suspend the Services from time to time at our discretion (for example, to perform scheduled maintenance). If Hopscotch limits or suspends the Services, we will endeavor to give the Customer reasonable advance notice so that the Customer can plan around it. However, there may be some situations, such as security emergencies, where it may not be practicable for Hopscotch to give advance notice. Hopscotch will use commercially reasonable efforts to narrow the scope and duration of the suspension or limitation as is needed to resolve the issue that prompted such action.
8. Third Party Services. If the Customer uses any third party service with the Services (including services which use any application programming interface (API) provided by Hopscotch), the Customer acknowledges that the service may access or use the customer’s information. Hopscotch will not be responsible for any act or omission of the third party, including such third party’s use of the customer’s information. Hopscotch does not warrant or support any such third party service, and the Customer should contact that third party for any issues arising from the Customer’s use of the third party service.

Hopscotch may change the fees charged for the Services at any time, provided that, for any fees billed on a subscription basis, the change will become effective only at the end of the then-current billing cycle of the Customer’s subscription. Hopscotch will provide the Customer with reasonable advance notice of any change in fees to give the Customer an opportunity to cancel auto-renewal on the Customer’s subscription before the change becomes effective. Hopscotch, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of Hopscotch’s customers.

  10. sharing/splitting commissions in any way between you, your employees, or any other Third Party, including End Users.
  11. incentivized commissions, or offering any form of incentive to obtain a commission.
7. Disallowed Referrals. You will not receive Commissions for self-referrals and for Affiliates, who violate our Hopscotch Affiliate Program Terms. You are also not allowed to refer the company you work for and receive Commissions for that.
8. Link Tracking. When a web surfer clicks through your affiliate link, your affiliate information, and current timestamp is stored in their browser using the local storage API, and analytics data is sent to our server. If they sign up to Hopscotch within 60 days of this timestamp, their account is linked to your account as a referral. However, if a potential customer clears their browser storage during this period, or their browser does not support the local storage API, Hopscotch shall not be liable for any commissions that may have been owed to you. Also, if a visitor clicks on one of our ads, or another affiliate's link, they will overwrite your referral and the user signup will no longer be attributed to you.
9. Manual Linking. We cannot track and reward you for any referrals not tracked by our automated system of referral links and scripts. Meaning, if you refer someone without using your referral link, or for any reason, an account is not linked to your account as a referral when they sign up, we will not manually link their account to your account as a referral for you, nor will we transfer referrals linked to your account to any other account.
10. Conversion Tracking. If an account linked to your account as a referral upgrades to a paid membership plan anytime in the future, you will receive 30% commission of the payments we receive from that customer for membership fees, unless a refund is issued or a payment is disputed, and may be subject to taxes and/or service fees.
11. Tracking Statistics. All statistics are collected and calculated by Hopscotch, and will be the only valid statistics used for determining Commissions. Any data provided to you regarding the performance of your participation in the affiliate program may not be accurate, and we may use other data not presented to you when determining commissions.
12. Payment Disputes. If we pay you a commission on a payment and later issue a refund, incur a chargeback fee, or add credit for that payment, we may offset the amount of the commission previously paid to you against future payouts, or require you to remit that amount to us.
13. Holding Period. The current holding period is 60 days after a commission is earned. This is due to our 30-day money back guarantee, and to protect us from chargebacks and refunds. In the event of any activity deemed suspicious by Hopscotch, Hopscotch may delay the payment of Affiliate Fees by up to 6 calendar months to verify the relevant transactions. You will not be entitled to any interest on commissions or unpaid earnings.
14. Payout Criteria. On the 1st of every month, our system will calculate pending payouts provided:
  1. you have added a valid email address to your PayPal account.
  2. the commissions earned that have passed the holding period, minus any payouts we have already issued, total at least $50 USD.
  3. the commissions are from at least 2 separate Referral accounts.
  4. any payouts we have previously issued to you have been confirmed as redeemed by you.
15. Approval Process. After our system determines you meet the minimum criteria for a payout, the commissions will undergo a manual approval process by us before we issue a payout to you. Commissions may be disapproved or delayed if, at our sole discretion, we decide the approval, sale, and/or affiliate interferes with the resources and/or quality of service of any Hopscotch service outside of the affiliate program, at our sole discretion, or for any other reason which is not in the best interest of Hopscotch, as decided by us. Hopscotch reserves the right to recalculate, void, or disqualify any referrals or commissions at our sole discretion, however we encourage you to contact us if you feel the decision is incorrect.
16. Required Documentation. When we review your commissions and determine if they are approved and whether to payout funds, we may contact you to acquire more information, and may withhold payments until you submit the required information and it meets our criteria. This information may include proof of your identity, address, referral methods/website, and/or tax id/form/documentation.
17. Payout Method. We currently use PayPal to issue payouts we approved, but we may change this in the future to another service or method, such as issuing payouts in gift cards, or credit to be used to pay for your Hopscotch membership plan fees. Currently, commissions are not used to credit or pay for your future, upcoming, or past due Hopscotch membership plan fees.
18. Currency and Service Fees. We or the third-party service we use for payouts, will determine the currency in which we pay the Commission, as well as the applicable conversion rate. Payouts may also be subject to service fees.
19. Unpaid Earnings. Commissions may become void and forfeited if they have not been paid or redeemed by you after 12 calendar months have passed since the commission date.
20. Taxes. You are responsible for any income or other taxes due and payable resulting from payments to you by us arising from Commission income. You are obligated to independently assess and comply with all relevant tax and legal requirements, and you are responsible for your own sales tax collection and reporting obligations arising from Commission income. Accordingly, unless otherwise stated, the amounts due to you hereunder are inclusive of any taxes that may apply to such payments. We maintain the right, however, to deduct or withhold any and all applicable taxes from amounts due by them to you, and the amounts due, as reduced by those deductions or withholdings, will constitute full payment and settlement to you.
21. Termination. If you fail, or Hopscotch suspects that you have failed, to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement, Hopscotch, at its sole discretion, without notice to you, may terminate your account. Termination will result in the suspension or deletion of Your Account or your access to Your Account. If your Hopscotch account is suspended, terminated, or deleted by you, all past and future commissions will be forfeited.
22. Liability. The Hopscotch Affiliate Program is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis and the use of the Affiliate Program is at the Affiliate's own risk. Hopscotch makes no representations or warranties, either expressed or implied, with respect to the Affiliate Program, or any service or information provided through the Affiliate Program. Hopscotch is not responsible for any damages, injury or economic loss arising from the use of the Affiliate Program. You agree that you are not legally entitled, nor will you hold us responsible for any compensation, reward, or payout either implicitly or explicitly implied by us as displayed in the Hopscotch Dashboard, on our website, or by any other means or manner. Should any part of the Affiliate Program cause damage or inconvenience to the Affiliate or anyone claiming through the Affiliate, the Affiliate assumes responsibility and the entire cost for them. We make no claim that the operation of the affiliate program and other services will be error-free and we will not be liable for any interruptions or errors. The Affiliate accepts that the operation of the Hopscotch Affiliate Program, affiliate links, or our website and services may not be completely free of interruption, errors or omissions and Hopscotch is not liable for the consequences of any interruptions or errors in the performance or content in the hopscotch.social website, services, or affiliate links.
23. Relationship. You and Hopscotch are independent contractors. Nothing in this Affiliate Agreement will create any partnership, employment, representative, agency, or joint venture relationship between you and us. You will have no authority to act on our behalf.
