Terms of Service
Brand Ambassador APP, LLC (“Brand Ambassador APP,” “we,” “us,” “our”) provides its services (described below) to you through our website located at brandambassadorapp.com (the “Site”) and through its mobile application (the “App,” and together with the Site, the “Platform”), available for Android and iOS, subject to the following Terms of Service (as amended from time to time, the “Terms of Service”). Our Data Processing Agreement under the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) forms part of these Terms of Service.
Please review carefully the following Terms of Service. By accessing, using, and/or downloading or sharing any materials from the Platform, you agree to follow and be bound by the Terms of Service. If you do not agree to the Terms of Service, you may not use the Platform.
In addition, when using certain services, you will be subject to any additional terms applicable to such services that may be posted on the Site from time to time, including, without limitation, the Privacy Policy. All such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service.
The Service Generally.
1.1 The Brand Ambassador APP Service.
Brand Ambassador APP allows you to promote and market third parties’ (the “Participating Partners”) products and/or services, at promotional prices, through the Platform to your followers on social media (the “Service”). You will be able to browse the Platform for special offers to purchase products or services from Participating Partners. These special offers will be posted by Brand Ambassador APP on the Platform (the “Brand Ambassador APP Posts”).
You will be able to share the Brand Ambassador APP Posts through your own social media platforms, including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter (your “Social Media Accounts”). Brand Ambassador APP Posts may include a picture of the product or service, a brief description of the product or service, the name, logo, and/or slogan of the Participating Partner, and any other proprietary information used to identify the Participating Partner, and a link to the Participating Partner’s website to purchase the product or service at the promotional price (the “Participating Partner Link”).
You will also have the option of posting the Participating Partner Link directly on your Social Media Accounts without having to share the Brand Ambassador APP Post. This option allows you to describe and market the product or service in your own words and create a promotional post that you feel will resonate with your “followers” (the “User Post”). Although you can create your own description for your User Post, subject to applicable character limits, you will have to include the following “hashtags” in your description: “#sponsored” and “#Brand Ambassador APP”. You will be solely responsible for any third party claims arising out of your User Post. Further, you agree to indemnify the Brand Ambassador APP Parties, as defined and described in Section 4, for any third party claims, damages, costs, liabilities, and expenses arising out of your User Post.
Your “followers” on your Social Media Accounts will then be able to click on the Participating Partner Link and purchase the product or service at the promotional price. Depending on the purchase price of the offer, you will receive credit with Brand Ambassador APP in the form of “Brand Ambassador APP Coin.” Each Brand Ambassador APP Coin will have a predetermined value, which you can then redeem with Brand Ambassador APP to purchase any Participating Partners’ products or service offered through the Platform.
You must also strictly comply with and prominently display the following on your Social Media Accounts in order to use the Service:
This profile discusses my policies related to recommendations, endorsements, product discussions, and reviews posted online. To the extent that any of my posts, tweets, or other online communications do not indicate otherwise, you should assume that all of the following applies:
My posts are truthful. I will not make any factual assertions related to any product or service unless I have actually used the product or service first hand and had the experience described.
My posts represent my experiences and opinions. My descriptions of products or services are my opinions, and mine alone. They are not mean to represent any organization or group, and they do not necessarily reflect the experience of a “typical” consumer.
I participate in a social media marketing campaign. Some of my online activity is carried out pursuant to my affiliation with a paid social media marketing program. As a result, I am sometimes compensated for mentioning certain products or services in my posts. While it’s my policy to always indicate these types of posts through hashtags, disclaimers, or other notices, regardless of whether such a notice is included, if I am posting about a product or service it should be assumed I was compensated in some way, unless otherwise stated.
1.2 Registration on the Platform.

You can access and modify the configuration information you provide to Brand Ambassador APP at any time by signing-in to your Account.
