Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("TOS") govern your access to and use of the Services, including our various websites, email notifications, buttons, and widgets, and any information, text, graphics, photos or other materials uploaded, downloaded or appearing on the Services (collectively referred to as "Content"). Your access to and use of the Services are conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms.

By accessing or using the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Basic Terms

You are responsible for your use of the Services, for any Content you post to the Services, and for any consequences thereof. The Content you submit, post, or display will be able to be viewed by other users of the Services and through third party services and websites (go to the Settings page to control who sees your Content). You should only provide Content that you are comfortable sharing with others under these Terms.  

You may opt to associate one or more social network accounts for one or more social networks with your RiteKit account.  By doing so, you acknowledge that these accounts are your own, and that you may wish to share and/or schedule content to be sent from RiteKit to your social stream from these accounts in these social networks.  RiteKit will not share to the user’s accounts without actions initiated by the user.

What the user does with hashtags and other data garnered from RiteKit A.I., Reports, Collections (or any other RiteKit features), as well as content shared from RiteKit, and created in RiteKit, the user takes responsibility for.

You may use the Services only if you can form a binding contract with RiteKit and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of Japan, the United States of America, the Czech Republic or other applicable jurisdiction. If you are accepting these Terms and using the Services on behalf of a company, organization, government, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so. You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations.

The Services that social networks provides are always evolving and the form and nature of the Services that RiteKit provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you. In addition, RiteKit may suspend (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally and may not be able to provide you with prior notice. We also retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time without prior notice to you.

The Services may include advertisements, which may be targeted to the Content or information on the Services, queries made through the Services, or other information. The types and extent of advertising by RiteKit on the Services are subject to change. In consideration for RiteKit granting you access to and use of the Services, you agree that RiteKit and its third party providers and partners may place such advertising on the Services or in connection with the display of Content or information from the Services whether submitted by you or others.

1. Responsibilities Regarding Content and Services

RiteKit provides no warranty, expressed or implied, for the Content that Free and paid users share from RiteKit as social updates (Tweets, Googleplus posts, facebook updates, blog posts or elements thereof, etc.).  URLs created in RiteKit and URLs shared from RiteKit (or its applications, widgets, and browser extensions/plugins) are provided without warranty, expressed or implied.  RiteKit provides no warranty for posts shared from RiteKit, Tag Optimizer, or RiteKit applications or widgets.  Posts may fail to appear in users’ social streams.  URLs may break and/or expire.  RiteKit provides the most accurate data on hashtags used with query word(s) but provides no warranty, expressed or implied, for the accuracy of the RiteScore algorithm, the length or color deepness on hashtag suggestion lines in Tag Optimizer or RiteKit Reports, hashtag influencers or the times they have recently used a hashtag, or the instances of a hashtag appearing in content in social networks.  Like all social media tools that retrieve data from social networks, RiteKit is limited by each and every social network as to the volume of data it may retrieve.  Based on a representative sample, as current as possible, RiteKit provides evidence of activity with hashtags and from this, users are expected to make their own judgements regarding:

  • hashtags to save in Tag Sets (and whether to make Tag Sets public and/or whether to share them)
  • hashtags to use with posts, and how many times and how frequently
  • who influencers, or top users of a hashtag are, and what to do with this know-how
  • what content to save and/or share from RiteKit, whether directly or indirectly, and how frequently to do so and which social networks and/or sites to share it to
  • what they discover from Stats and/or Tag Optimizer’s My Top-Performing Tags.
