Terms of service

1. Who we are

Subgrow Creators is run by GetSwell Inc, 710 Crossway Rd, Burlingame, CA 94010, which operates Subgrow and Mentioned.to (“we”, “us”). You can reach us at hello@writingmate.ai or through our Telegram bot.

2. Who can join

• You are 18 or older.
• You join with your own Reddit account: one you created and use yourself, not one that is bought, borrowed, rented or shared. One account per person.
• Other people can see the account. To take paid comments, it is also at least 5 months old with at least 200 karma. We check this from our own accounts, and keep checking while you take part.
• We may ask you to check a mobile phone number before you take more comments.

3. What you agree to post

• You only take comments about products you really use, and you only post a comment if every word of it is true for you. If it isn't, you hand it back. Handing a comment back costs you nothing.
• You read the thread and the whole comment before posting it. You post the words exactly as written.
• You post only from the account you joined with.
• You follow Reddit's rules and the rules of each community you post in. We only offer comments for communities whose rules we read as allowing them, but the rules apply to you, and if a community's rules say no, they win.
• You never send us your Reddit password or any other password.

4. The risks to your Reddit account

• Moderators can remove your comments or ban you from their community, and Reddit can suspend or ban your account.
• Reddit's own rules restrict paid promotion and how accounts may be used. Read them before you join.
• You take part at your own risk. We don't pay for removed comments, lost karma or lost accounts. Don't join with an account you can't afford to lose.

5. How and when you're paid

• Each comment pays a fixed amount set by your account's age when you take it:

• When you tap “Post it”, the comment is yours for 15 minutes to post it and tell us; after that it goes back for someone else. You can hold one at a time and up to 10 a day.
• A comment is paid only if, when we check it from another account 30 days after you post it, it is still up, from your account, with the same words. If it was removed, deleted or edited before then, it isn't paid, even when that wasn't your doing.
• We pay by hand to the PayPal account you give us, once a month, when you're owed $25 or more. If PayPal isn't available where you live, tell us and we'll offer another way where we can. If we can't lawfully pay you where you live, you can't take part.
• If we find that a comment we paid for broke these terms, for example you didn't actually use the product, we may hold back that payment or ask for it back, including by taking it off later payments.
• How much you earn depends on how many comments are open and how many you take and post. We don't promise any amount, and there may be days or weeks with none.

6. Taxes

You take part as an independent contributor, not as our employee. You're responsible for taxes on what you earn. Before paying you we may ask for a tax form (a W-9 in the US, a W-8BEN elsewhere), and we report payments where the law requires it.

7. The Chrome extension

• It posts only when you click: one click posts a one-time number to prove the account is yours, and “I agree” posts the one comment you're looking at. It never posts by itself or in bulk.
• When you click, it acts as you on Reddit, using the session already in your browser. It can't read your password or cookies and doesn't have Chrome's cookie permission. We only receive your username, each posted comment's link and its words.
• You can pause it, disconnect it or remove it at any time. Comments already up keep counting toward what you're owed.

8. What we keep

Your Reddit username, your PayPal email, your phone number if you check one, the comments you took and posted, and what you were paid. If you turn on writing in your own voice, we also keep some of your public Reddit comments until you turn it off.

The brand a comment is about sees your Reddit username and the link to your comment once you post it, as part of reporting on its work with us. We don't share your PayPal email or phone number with brands.

Email hello@writingmate.ai to have your data deleted, apart from what tax records require.

9. Stopping

You can stop at any time. We can end your participation, or the program, at any time, for example if you break these terms. Comments you posted before that are still checked after 30 days, and those that lasted are paid, unless you broke these terms to post them.

When you stop, or we end your participation, we pay everything you're owed, whatever the amount, within 30 days of your last comment's 30-day check.

10. Limits on our responsibility

To the extent the law allows, our total responsibility to you for anything to do with Subgrow Creators is limited to what we paid or owed you for comments in the 3 months before the claim, and we aren't responsible for indirect losses, such as a removed comment, a banned or suspended Reddit account, lost karma or lost opportunities. Nothing in these terms limits rights the law doesn't let us limit.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its rules on conflicts of law. Disputes go to the state or federal courts in Delaware, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring them closer to home.

12. Changes

We may change these terms. When we do, the date at the top changes and you're asked to agree again before you take another comment. A change never lowers the rate of a comment you've already taken.
