SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
Last Updated January 19, 2023
TulsaGo® is a federally registered trademark (Reg. No. 6348997).
By using, viewing, or engaging with any social media account that has been established under Aurasun Group dba TulsaGo®, you (the user) fully understand and agree to the terms & conditions as outlined in this Social Media Policy. Any user who views or engages with a social media channel established under Aurasun Group does so at their own free will.
The Role of TulsaGo®
TulsaGo® social media channels are managed and overseen by representatives of the Aurasun Group organization. Those representatives may be contractually hired, employees, or any other individual that the managing partners grant social media management permission to.
A majority of the content posted on social media channels is in direct reflection of the mission of the TulsaGo® organization: To inspire a perpetual love of shopping, eating, and supporting local businesses throughout the Tulsa metropolitan area. TulsaGo® creates and publishes proprietary content for its social media channels that reflect the vision of the organization: Explore, discover, and experience the city of Tulsa.
When utilizing TulsaGo® established social media accounts, it is good practice to keep in mind the TulsaGo® Diversity & Inclusion Statement: TulsaGo® believes that equality and freedom from discrimination are fundamental human rights that belong to everyone - regardless of race, national origin, gender, or sexual orientation. At the heart of our mission, TulsaGo is committed to supporting a community that embraces all people from all walks of life.
User Etiquette
You are personally responsible for the comments and content you post on social media. It is the desire of TulsaGo® to allow any and all persons the ability to view and engage with social media accounts established under Aurasun Group. However, there are limitations to how TulsaGo® defines “appropriate interaction.” TulsaGo® uses its best judgement when evaluating “appropriate” user behavior. The following are strictly enforced:
Aurasun Group has zero tolerance for racism, bigotry, misogyny, expressed or implied threats of harassment or physical harm, or hate speech. “Hate speech” includes any speech – or endorsement or promotion of speech – that is derogatory toward a group of people based on a protected classification. This can include race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexuality, caste, gender or disability.
Users are not allowed to bully, harass, or threaten violence against any other user within a TulsaGo® established and managed social media channel. If you find yourself in a disagreement on social media, use a respectful tone or disengage.
Any user that promotes content in the comments section in an effort to spread inconsequential negativity, defamatory consumer confusion, or libelous hearsay will be considered in violation of the TulsaGo® Social Media Policy.
Any user that utilizes the comments section in an effort to directly promote one’s brand or a third-party brand that the user is posting on behalf of will be considered in violation of the TulsaGo® Social Media Policy.
Any post, comment, tag, or similar act that directly violates #1, #2, #3, or #4 above will be promptly removed. If more than one occurrence of the above is established, TulsaGo® reserves the full right to permanently ban and/or block all users associated with the violation.
TulsaGo® Intellectual Property
The TulsaGo® brand is protected by a registered trademark filed within the USPTO (Reg. No. 6348997). Unless otherwise stated or credited, all content published on any TulsaGo® established social media account is the sole property of Aurasun Group. This includes, but is not limited to, all photos via post, videos via stories, and anything else that is not identified as being created externally from the organization. You, the user, under any circumstances are not allowed to use content created by Aurasun Group without written consent from a managing partner of the organization. You are NOT allowed to:
Screen print & save photos found on any TulsaGo® established social media platform
Use third-party apps and/or web-based programs to download photos found on any TulsaGo® established social media platform
Copy/paste content written by Aurasun Group and claim it as your own
Alter any photo that is published intellectual property of TulsaGo®
If any violation of the above is conceived, TulsaGo® has the right to pursue legal action and damages resulting from said violation(s). If any unauthorized user publishes or repurposes intellectual property shared but not created by TulsaGo®, it is the responsibility of the original content creator to pursue whatever action he/she deems necessary.
Partnership Posts from External Individuals, Brands, & Organization
TulsaGo® does not publicly endorse external brands and organizations unless the brand / organization is a current TulsaGo® Partner or written endorsement has been established between a managing partner of Aurasun Group and a representative of the external brand / organization. Any one-off promotional initiative between a non TulsaGo® partner and an external brand / organization requires a paid partnership agreement established by an Aurasun Group managing partner. TulsaGo® does not endorse or share information in relation to fundraisers, campaigns, or pledge drives from organizations outside of its membership base. If a one-off external partnership is desired, the business or organization must reach out to our team via our contact form.
Long-term Co-Op Partnerships
Cooperative advertising efforts between the TulsaGo® brand and an external brand require a Social Media Partnership Agreement. All terms and conditions must be mutually agreed upon by a managing partner of Aurasun Group and a representative of the external brand/entity. To inquire about a TulsaGo® social media partnership, please e-mail rfp@tulsago.com with the name of the brand and contact information of the brand representative. Co-op partnerships are considered once per year during Q4 of the preceding requested partnership year.
External Brand & Individual Collateral Sharing, Tagging, and Distribution
As TulsaGo® is an organization that aims to share a common love for the community of Tulsa, tagging @tulsago and using the #tulsago hashtag is encouraged. TulsaGo® approves posts on its tagged section based on the relevancy of the post and reserves the right to remove itself from any post that violates the TulsaGo® Social Media Policy.
Local brands and individual users are also encouraged to tag TulsaGo® in social media story content. TulsaGo® will not reshare any story content that aims to personally promote an individual or an event held by an individual that generates revenue. All resharing of such content is up to the discretion of Aurasun Group.
TulsaGo® strictly prohibits the sharing or endorsing of content that is in direct competition or violation of the TulsaGo® brand(s).
