Sxgram Platform Terms

Effective Date: October 24, 2025
Last Updated: October 24, 2025

​

​

1. Introduction

a. The Sxgram Platform (“Platform”) includes Sxgram’s APIs, SDKs, web modules, data tools, iframe embeds, code examples, integration hooks, trust and safety signals (including rating and verification data), UI components, and related services. The Platform allows creators, businesses, agencies, and developers (“Developers”) to build features, request approved data, display Sxgram content, or send approved data to Sxgram.

 

b. By using the Platform in any way — including calling an API, embedding any Sxgram feature, requesting any Sxgram data, or storing any Sxgram account metadata — you agree to these Sxgram Platform Terms (“Terms”), plus any other applicable terms and policies, including:

• Sxgram Terms of Use

• Sxgram Privacy Policy

• Sxgram Community Guidelines

• Sxgram Verified / Business Verified Program Rules (where applicable)

• Any integration- or feature-specific terms we provide in writing

 

c. You must also comply with all requirements published in our developer documentation, onboarding documentation, sandbox or test credentials documentation, and any written instructions we send you (collectively, the “Developer Docs”), as well as all applicable laws and regulations. This includes requirements related to privacy, consent, data security, rating/feedback data, and identity/verification data.

 

d. These Terms begin when you first accept them or first access or use the Platform — whichever happens first. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company, agency, brand, marketplace, or other entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity. In that case, “you” means that entity.

 

e. If you violate these Terms or any other Sxgram policy, Sxgram, LLC may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform (including disabling your app or integration).

 

f. “Including” means “including without limitation.” Capitalized terms not defined in-line are defined in Section 12 (Glossary).

 

2. Intellectual Property Rights

a. Our License to You

If you comply with these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable license to access and use the Sxgram Platform solely as described in these Terms and the Developer Docs.

 

You may not:

• Sell, resell, lease, or sublicense access to the Platform, except that you may use qualified service providers as described in Section 5.

• Reverse engineer, decompile, interfere with, or attempt to extract source code from any part of the Platform or Sxgram systems.

• Misuse, modify, or create derivative works of the Platform in a way that violates these Terms.

• Pretend to be Sxgram, or claim partnership/endorsement without written permission.

 

Sxgram, LLC and fMETA retain all rights not expressly granted here.

 

b. Your License to Us

i. Your Content

1. You grant Sxgram, LLC a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, use, reproduce, distribute, display, analyze, and create derivative works of any content, data, or materials you provide to the Platform (“Your Content”), for the purpose of operating, improving, promoting, securing, or auditing the Platform or any Sxgram product or feature.

   • This includes (for example) content displayed in Grams, Stories, Articles, Magazine Features, profile metadata, trust scores, rating data, safety signals, screenshots or previews of your integration, and any data you send to us through an API.

   • This license continues even if you stop using the Platform, to the extent reasonably necessary for audit, compliance, legal, trust/safety, and product continuity.

2. If you owned Your Content before sharing it with us, you still own it after — subject to any rights you granted here and any access you granted to others.

 

ii. Your App / Integration

1. You grant Sxgram, LLC a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to test, operate, display, analyze, frame, and showcase your integration, feature, or app (“Your App”) for the purposes of security review, policy compliance review, trust and safety, and product improvement.

   • This includes placing Sxgram UI or promotional messaging around Your App (for example “Powered by Sxgram Trust Score”), and auditing Your App to confirm policy compliance.

2. Any terms or policies you attach to Your App are not binding on Sxgram unless Sxgram has expressly agreed in writing. Clicking through your terms or viewing your app does not mean we accepted them.

3. You acknowledge that Sxgram may develop products, features, or services that are similar to or compete with Your App.

 

iii. Names, Logos, Marks

You grant Sxgram a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use your name, logo, and marks to:

• Identify you as an integration partner, featured creator, verified business, or data source; and/or

• Promote the availability of your integration or profile within Sxgram products.

 

This license survives for existing marketing and product surfaces even if you stop using the Platform.

 

c. Protecting the Rights of Others

i. You will not provide or promote content in Your App that infringes any third-party rights, including copyright, publicity, privacy, trademark, moral rights, or likeness rights.

 

ii. You represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and clearances to:

• Provide Your Content and Your App to Sxgram,

• Grant the licenses in this Section,

• Distribute and display any content you surface through Your App, and

• Operate Your App in compliance with law.

 

iii. If Your App allows user-generated content (UGC), you must maintain a compliant DMCA-style notice and takedown process and honor takedown notices for alleged IP violations and non-consensual or abusive content.

 

3. Data Use

“Platform Data” includes any data you receive from Sxgram, including public profile info, verification status, trust score data, rating summaries, account reputation data (“About This Account”), engagement data, and any other information provided via Sxgram APIs or tools.

 

a. Prohibited Practices

You will not, and will not assist or enable others to:

i. Use Platform Data to harass, stalk, exploit, threaten, blackmail, or endanger any person; to incite hate or discrimination; or to target individuals or groups in a way that would result in real-world harm or unlawful bias.

 

ii. Use Platform Data to make or deny access to essential services (like housing, employment, credit, insurance, healthcare, or legal status).

 

iii. Use Platform Data to conduct surveillance or monitoring on behalf of law enforcement, national security, private investigation, or similar purposes. Sxgram is not a surveillance platform.

 

iv. Sell, lease, transfer, or “broker” Platform Data.

 

v. Build personal dossiers, databases, or “blacklists” of creators without clear, revocable consent from those creators.

 

vi. Attempt to re-identify, de-anonymize, or reverse engineer any account, trust-score history, or review/ratings data that is provided in aggregated or masked form.

 

vii. Change your app’s core purpose, how it uses data, or which data it pulls from Sxgram without submitting those changes for review if we require it.

 

viii. Use Platform Data for any purpose that we have not approved in writing or that is not documented in the Developer Docs.

 

b. Restricted Platform Data

Some data is more sensitive (for example: location indicators, trust score details, account flags, verification metadata). You:

i. May only request restricted data if it is strictly required to deliver a clear feature or experience to the user who granted access.

ii. Must explain to the user why you are requesting it and how it will improve their experience.

iii. Must follow all Developer Docs rules and these Terms.

 

c. Sharing Platform Data

You may only share Platform Data:
i. With service providers you use to operate your app — and only under binding written agreement that matches these Terms;
ii. When required by law, and only to the extent required (you must keep proof);
iii. When a user explicitly and knowingly consents to you sharing their own data with a named third party (you must keep proof of that consent);
iv. With other third parties only if:

• The data is not restricted data,

• You bind that third party, in writing, to obligations at least as strict as these Terms, and

• You remain fully responsible for how they use it.

 

You are fully responsible for your partners, vendors, and downstream recipients.

 

d. Retention, Deletion, User Control

i. Unless you are legally required to retain specific Platform Data:

1. You must correct or delete Platform Data on request from either Sxgram or the user.

2. You must delete Platform Data when:

   • You no longer need it for the purpose the user expected,

   • Your integration shuts down,

   • We ask you to delete it for safety or compliance reasons,

   • The user asks you to delete it or deletes their account with you,

   • Law requires deletion.

ii. If you’re required by law to keep certain data, you must keep written proof of that requirement and show it to us if requested.

iii. If you receive Platform Data you were not supposed to receive, you must notify us at legal@sxgram.com, delete it immediately, and provide proof of deletion if we ask.

 

4. Your Privacy Policy

a. You must maintain a live, publicly accessible, non-geoblocked privacy policy URL that we (and our crawlers) can reach.
b. Your privacy policy must clearly state:

• What data you collect,

• Why you collect it,

• How you use it,

• Who you share it with,

• How a user can request deletion.

c. You may only process Platform Data in ways disclosed in that policy, consistent with these Terms and applicable law.

d. Your privacy policy cannot override or conflict with these Terms.

 

5. Service Providers and Tech Providers

a. Service Providers

If you hire vendors (for hosting, moderation assistance, analytics, etc.), they must:

1. Use Platform Data only to perform services for you, under your instructions, consistent with these Terms.

2. Delete Platform Data when you stop working with them or when we instruct you to ensure deletion.

3. Sign written agreements that legally bind them to obligations that meet or exceed these Terms.

 

You are responsible for their actions. If we tell you a specific service provider is not allowed (for example, because of abuse or noncompliance), you must stop sharing Platform Data with them immediately.

 

We may also require certain service providers to accept these Terms directly before they’re allowed to integrate with Sxgram.

 

b. Tech Providers

If your product exists primarily to help clients (for example: agencies managing creator accounts, analytics dashboards, media managers), then:
i. You may only access and use Platform Data on behalf of a specific client, and only for that client’s stated purpose.
ii. You must silo data between clients.
iii. You must keep an up-to-date list of clients and provide it to us if we request it.
iv. You may only share Platform Data:

• With that specific client (under contract that binds them to these Terms);

• With your own service providers who support that client’s use case;

• Where required by law (and you must keep proof);

• With a client’s vendor if that client explicitly directs you in writing to share it.

 

If we tell you a client is abusing data or violating policy, you must immediately terminate that client’s access to Sxgram data through your product.

 

6. Data Security

a. Security Standards

You must implement and maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that:

1. Meet or exceed industry standards appropriate to the sensitivity of the Platform Data you handle, and

2. Prevent unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction of Platform Data.

 

You must also provide an obvious way for people to report security issues with your integration — and you must address them quickly.

​

You may authenticate users with Sxgram where relevant, but you must not ask users for Sxgram login credentials directly or attempt to collect tokens/secrets outside approved methods.

 

b. Incident Reporting

If you discover:

• Any unauthorized access to Platform Data, OR

• Any incident that may compromise the security or integrity of Platform Data,

you must notify us at sxgramsocial@gmail.com as soon as possible, begin remediation immediately, and cooperate with our requests for impact assessment and resolution steps.

 

7. Review, Suspension, and Termination

a. Integration Review

We may require you to submit Your App or integration for review. Approval is at our sole discretion. Approval can be revoked.

 

You must keep all information you give us accurate and up to date. We may independently verify statements you make about how you use data.

 

b. Monitoring

We (or trusted third-party auditors working under NDA with us) may monitor your integration, including:

• How you call our Platform,

• How you store data,

• How you display trust score and identity data,

• Whether you’re complying with these Terms.

 

c. Audit Rights

We may audit you no more than once per calendar year unless we have reason to believe there is a compliance issue, data abuse, safety risk, or other Necessary Condition (see Glossary).

 

You agree to:

• Provide reasonable access to relevant systems and records,

• Answer questions from our compliance and trust/safety personnel, and

• Remediate violations promptly.

 

If an audit shows non-compliance, you agree to cover our reasonable audit and follow-up costs.

 

Our audit rights survive for 1 year after you stop using Platform or after you prove to us that all Platform Data and derivatives have been deleted from you and your service providers.

 

d. Certifications

We may, at any time, request written certifications from you (for example, “We are only using creator trust score data in the following approved way…”) and you agree to provide truthful, timely responses signed by an authorized representative.

 

e. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate:

• Your access,

• Your API keys,

• Your ability to retrieve or display Platform Data,

• Your account,

• Your clients’ accounts (if you are a Tech Provider),

if we determine, in our sole discretion, that:

1. You are unresponsive to monitoring or audit requests,

2. You or your clients are violating these Terms or harming the Sxgram community,

3. You’re trying to evade enforcement,

4. We are required to do so by law, or

5. We need to protect Sxgram, our creators, our trust system, or our legal position.

 

We can take enforcement action immediately, with or without prior notice.

 

8. Notices

We may send you notices (including policy updates, suspension notices, audit requests, or breach notifications) by:

• Email to the contact(s) you provided,

• In-dashboard messaging / in-product notifications, or

• Physical mail if required.

 

You must keep your legal, technical, and security contact information accurate and current.

 

9. Indemnification

If anyone brings a claim against Sxgram, LLC or fMETA related to:

• Your App,

• Your handling of Platform Data,

• Your Content,

• Your use or misuse of Sxgram branding, trust badges, verification marks, or ratings,

• Your violation of these Terms,

you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Sxgram, LLC (and its officers, employees, contractors, and partners) harmless from all damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees.

 

10. International Data Transfers

Sxgram may be accessed globally, but Sxgram is headquartered in the United States. If you receive Platform Data about users located in other jurisdictions, you are responsible for complying with all applicable data protection, privacy, export, and localization laws.

 

If you export any personal data from the European Union, UK, or other regulated regions using the Platform, you agree to:

• Process that data lawfully;

• Use it only for the purpose the user understood;

• Honor user deletion and access rights;

• Implement reasonable safeguards consistent with industry standards.

 

We may require you to sign supplemental data transfer terms if you access regulated data.

 

11. General

a. You may not transfer or assign any of your rights or obligations under these Terms — including by merger, sale, or change of control — without our prior written consent. Any unapproved transfer is void.

b. You must follow all applicable laws, including privacy, IP, consumer protection, digital safety, advertising disclosure, and content protection laws.

c. If these Terms conflict with any other published terms, the term that is more restrictive on you and more protective of Sxgram, its users, or its data will apply.

d. We may update these Terms. We’ll use reasonable effort to notify you of material changes. Your continued use of the Platform after changes go into effect means you accept the updated Terms.

e. We may modify, rate-limit, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Platform (including specific API endpoints, trust score exports, or verification data access). In the event we discontinue the Platform entirely, we will use reasonable effort to provide advance notice.

f. We do not guarantee that the Platform will always be available, uninterrupted, or free.

g. We may publicly identify you or your integration (for example, “Now live on Sxgram — Partner Integration with [Your Brand]”) for marketing, onboarding, safety education, or community transparency.

h. When these Terms end, you must immediately stop using the Platform and delete all Platform Data unless retention is legally required. Sections 2(b), 2(c), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12 survive termination.
