1. Registered Users and Visitors

When you register and join with SYNE, you become a registered user. If you have chosen not to register for our Services, you may access certain features as a “Visitor or Guest.”

As a registered user or guest of our Services, the collection, use and sharing of your personal data is subject to this Privacy Policy (which includes our Cookie Policy and other documents referenced in this Privacy Policy) and updates.

Registered users are account holders. You agree to: (1) use a strong password and keep it confidential; (2) not transfer any part of your account (e.g., followers) and (3) follow the law. You are responsible for anything that happens through your account unless you delete it or report misuse.

As between you and others (including your organisations), your account belongs to you. However, if the Services were purchased by another party for you to use (e.g. organisations), the party paying for such Service has the right to control access to and get reports on your use of such paid Service; however, they do not have rights to your personal account.

SYNE reserves the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate your account if you breach this terms of use or the law or are misusing the Services. We use the information and data that you provide and that we have about users to make recommendations for following, content and features that may be useful to you. For example, we use data and information about you to recommend projects to you and your followers. Keeping your profile accurate and up to date helps us to make these recommendations more accurate and relevant.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_cta h2=””]This Terms of Use applies to registered and non-registered users.[/vc_cta][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_cta h2=””]You will keep your password a secret and will not share an account with anyone else and will follow our rules and the law.[/vc_cta][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” padding_top=”” padding_bottom=”” css=”.vc_custom_1612915670154{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]

2. Changes to Terms of Use

We may modify this Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy and our Cookies Policy from time to time. If we make material changes to it, we will provide you notice through our services, or by other means, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. We agree that changes cannot be retroactive. If you object to any changes, you may delete your account. Your continued use of our Services after we publish or send a notice about our changes to these terms means that you are consenting to the updated terms as of their effective date.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_cta h2=””]

If you do not agree to this terms of use (“Contract” or “User Agreement”), do not click “Login” (or similar) and do not access or otherwise use any of our Services. If you wish to terminate this contract, at any time you can do so by deactivating your account and no longer accessing or using our Services.

This terms of use applies to SYNE.com, SYNE branded or owned apps and other SYNE linked or associated sites, apps, communications and other services that state that they are offered under this Contract (“Services”), including the offsite collection of data for those Services. Registered users of our Services are “Members” and unregistered users are “Guests or Visitors”.

You are entering into this Contract with SYNE (also referred to as “we” and “us”). We use the term “Designated Countries” to refer to countries in the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), and Switzerland. If you reside in the “Designated Countries”, you are entering into this Contract with SYNE PAY LIMITED (“domiciled in Ireland”) and SYNE PAY LIMITED will be the controller of your personal data provided to, or collected by or for, or processed in connection with our Services.

If you reside outside of the “Designated Countries”, you are entering into this Contract with SYNE Australia Pty Limited and SYNE will be the controller of your personal data provided to, or collected by or for, or processed in connection with our Services.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_cta h2=””]

7. Subscriptions

If you subscribe any of our paid Services (“Subscriptions”), you agree to pay us the applicable fees and taxes and to additional terms specific to the paid Services. Failure to pay these fees will result in the termination of your paid Services. Also, you agree that:

  • Your purchase may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on location (e.g. currency exchange rates).
  • We may store and continue billing your payment method (e.g. credit card) even after it has expired, to avoid interruptions in your Services and to use to pay other Services you may buy.

  • All of your purchases of Services are subject to SYNE refund policy.
  • We may calculate taxes payable by you based on the billing information that you provide us at the time of purchase.

You can get a copy of your invoice through your SYNE account settings under Subscriptions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_cta h2=””]

9. SYNE Services

SYNE is having an online community of  members who comply with SYNE Policies to raise funds to fulfil their dreams of starting, running and growing their own business, to get projects started, or to raise funds for charitable projects.

SYNE allows individuals, groups and organisations to list campaigns and raise funds through funding, donations, and/or services (“Rewards”) from members and guests. SYNE is not directly involved in the transaction between Project Creators and Supporters.

SYNE has no control over the quality, safety, morality or legality of any aspect of Projects or Rewards listed, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of Project Creator to complete the Project or Rewards, or the ability of a Project Supporter to actually pay promised monies.

SYNE cannot ensure that a Supporter or a Creator will actually complete a transaction. Consequently, SYNE does not transfer legal ownership of any sort of Rewards from the Campaign Supporter to the Campaign Creator. SYNE cannot guarantee the true identity, age, and nationality of a member unless it is a verified member. SYNE recommend that you check the member’s bio and history on the site for background information and do your own research before providing funds.

SYNE is a venue and as such is not responsible or liable for any content, for example, data, text, information, graphics, images, photographs, profiles, audio, video, items, and links posted by you, other members, or outside parties on SYNE. You agree that use of SYNE services is at your own risk.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_cta h2=””]
