Terms of Service

Dated: March 2020

Introduction

Welcome to Bona Fide.

Thank you for using the Bona Fide platform, products, services and features we make available to you as part of the platform via our website at www.wearebonafide.co.uk and any applicable applications (collectively, the “Service”).

Our Service

The Service brings together brands with influencers based upon their passions, location and age, always with a view to creating genuine content and building audiences around individual campaigns (each a “Campaign”).

About Us

The entity providing the Service is Nativo Limited, a company incorporated and operating under the laws of Engand and Wales (company registration number 5485238) whose registered office is at Ground Floor, St Pauls House, 23 Park Square, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 2ND (referred to as “Bona Fide”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

Applicable Terms

Your use of the Service is subject to these terms, our Privacy Policy and any additional terms which are specific to a Campaign (“Campaign Terms”).

Please read these terms of service carefully and make sure you understand it. If you do not understand the Agreement, or do not accept any part of it, then you may not use the Service.

Who can use the Service

You may use the Service in your capacity as an influencer, provided that you are at least 13 years old and have registered your details with us and we have received a confirmed acceptance from us by email (referred to as “Influencer”, “you” or “your”).

We reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to refuse to accept and register you as an Influencer.

If you are under 18, you must have your parent or legal guardian’s permission to use the Service. Please have them read these terms of service with you.

If you are a parent or legal guardian of a user under the age of 18, by allowing your child to use the Service, you are subject to these terms of service and responsible for your child’s activity on the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or organisation, you confirm to us that you have authority to act on behalf of that entity, and that entity accepts these terms of service.

Your use of the Service

As a registered user, you will have the opportunity to participate in a Campaign, details of which will be communicated via the Service (each a “Campaign Brief”).

Each Campaign Brief will record your role as an Influencer and any specific Campaign Terms, including what you will do, how and when you will do it and what you will be paid.

In broad terms this means that in using the Service, you have the opportunity to be involved in the creation and/or distribution of videos, audio (for example music and other sounds), graphics, photos, text (such as comments and scripts), branding (including trade names, trademarks, service marks, or logos), interactive features, software, metrics, and other materials (collectively, "Content”).

Your Information

Our Privacy Policy explains how we treat your personal data and protect your privacy when you use the Service.

To protect your account, you must keep your password confidential. You should not reuse your account password on third-party applications.
