Collective Actions TikTok, Meta (Facebook), X (Twitter) and Snapchat
- You may participate in our participant referral program once you have registered up for one or more of our actions and have downloaded our app. Check our website or our SOMI app to see which action(s) you can participate in yourself.
- The maximum compensation that an individual can receive for participating on their own behalf in additional SOMI campaigns is – at this moment, for a maximum of three actions in addition to the first action you have already signed up for – EUR 15,- in SOMI litigation certificates (the ‘Litigation Certificates’). This offer may be expanded if SOMI initiates new or additional legal campaigns.
- When we manage your Litigation Certificates, we do so via our secure environment (https://investeren.somi.nl/). To log in, enter the email address you used to register for the SOMI claim. You will then receive a secure login link in your inbox. In this environment, you can also view the information materials for the offer of these profit rights, containing all the exact product terms and conditions.
- When you refer a person who successfully registers with us as a participant in one of our claim campaigns, you will receive Litigation Certificates with a total nominal value of EUR 5,- per qualified participant whose registration has been approved by SOMI and who has not previously been registered as a participant with SOMI.
- You can invite your participant(s) using a unique referral code that you will receive in an email from SOMI for this purpose. A referral code can be used for a maximum of 10 people (with email addresses/phone numbers). Each person can use the referral code 4 times, and that user will then also receive EUR 5,- in Litigation Certificates for each time that user personally participates in a new or additional claim.
- The holder of the referral code may also use it to register for other ongoing SOMI claims. The maximum number of additional claims you can participate in this way is currently 3, out of a total maximum of 4 ongoing legal claims in any country. For qualifying and registering yourself as a participant, you will receive EUR 5,- in nominal value in Litigation Certificates per additional claim action.
- The maximum amount you can receive by inviting others to participate in a claim is currently EUR 200,- in Litigation Certificates. This amount consists of a maximum of 4 legal actions, multiplied by 10 people you can invite, multiplied by a EUR 5,- compensation per successful registration by the people invited by the registration program participant.
- In the event of a favourable outcome in one of our four ongoing claims – against TikTok, Meta, X, or Snap – we will pay out up to EUR 25,- per EUR 5,- of nominal value in Litigation Certificates. Please consult the offering documentation for the full terms and conditions of the certificates, which may vary by year. If there is no favourable outcome, the certificates will be allocated to the next legal action. If there is still not favourable outcome in any of these legal actions 10 years after the allocation of the Litigation Certificates, these Litigation Certificates will automatically expire without any payout (no cure no pay).
- Your total maximum compensation – if you sign up for three additional claim campaigns and successfully refer ten people to us for all four of our ongoing actions – will then be EUR 215,- in Litigation Certificates. As soon as one of these actions yields a favourable outcome – specifically a judgement against or a settlement with the defendant(s) in the proceedings – SOMI will pay out a total of up to EUR 1075,- to you, provided that the funds SOMI actually receives from the proceedings for this purpose are sufficient.
- The offer of Litigation Certificates is limited and may be followed or replaced by a similar or successor (financial) instrument. See the offering documentation for all terms and conditions of (the offer of) these securities.
- You cannot sign up for claims for which you do not qualify under the terms and conditions, and the people you invite cannot do so either. If a check reveals that registrations have been made by people who do not qualify for that legal claim or campaign by SOMI, the certificates allocated for those registrations will be revoked by SOMI without compensation. SOMI always retains the right to withhold the Litigation Certificates if the registrants do not meet the eligibility requirements for participation in a claim and/or the conditions of this referral campaign.
- We also check whether these registrants have already registered with us before and/or whether these registrants meet all participation requirements for each claim. This can happen beforehand or retroactively throughout the entire duration of the campaign. To protect privacy and comply with applicable privacy legislation (GDPR), we cannot communicate with the participant of the registration campaign regarding the content and results of this verification(s).
- Registration fees may be charged for signing up to participate in a legal claim action. These costs may vary over time, per claim, and per jurisdiction. Prior to registration, please consult our website for these costs, which will be charged per claim action or per registration period, according to the preference specified by the participant upon registration.
- DThe person inviting other people and the new participants registered as a result must download the SOMI app and keep it active on a mobile device for the duration of the Litigation Certificates, so that we can keep everyone continuously informed about developments in the claims and the results of our actions.
- Failure to comply with the provisions of SOMI’s terms and conditions, as applicable from time to time, may result in exclusion from the right to invite participants or the revocation of Litigation Certificates, with or without compensation, at SOMI’s discretion.
- This offer and campaign are subject to SOMI’s general terms and conditions and privacy statement, which can be found on our website (https://somi.nl). Please also subscribe to our newsletter so we can keep you informed of general news and the interim results of our actions.
- As a minor, you may participate in these actions in your own name, but you must be represented by your parent(s) or legal representative.
- Our registration campaigns may be extended to future new claims or to other online services. For new campaigns, actions, or services, SOMI may generate and send new referral codes so that you can use them to invite participants and earn new Litigation Certificates.
- The offering of SOMI Litigation Certificates is subject to terms and conditions that take precedence over these campaign conditions. In the event of ambiguities, contradictions, or differences in interpretation between text versions, the text in the language of the country of registration takes precedence.
- You can only refer and register people for our claims and campaigns in the EU country where you yourself are registered as a participant. The terms and conditions of this referral program may vary per EU country.
- Litigation Certificates are not offered in jurisdictions or to persons where the offer would not be legally permitted. See also the information materials on this topic, which can be requested via our site (https://somi.nl).

General Terms and Conditions
SOMI (Stichting Onderzoek Marktinformatie/Foundation for Market Information Research) is a non-profit organization that has been dedicated to protecting European citizens since 2016. Since 2020, we have been committed to privacy protection and data autonomy for all Europeans.
We have initiated legal actions against Chinese and American corporations (TikTok, Meta, X, and Snapchat) that do not comply with European legislation to protect our privacy and have been collecting far more data about us and our children than is permitted for years.
Our actions can be followed on the Central Register of the Dutch Judiciary (https://www.rechtspraak.nl/Registers/centraal-register-voor-collectieve-vorderingen).
To finance our actions we also sell Litigation Certificates, which pay out a social and financial return of 5 to 6 times the investment in the event of a positive outcome (no cure no pay). Consult our website for all terms and conditions.
Join us and support our fight for data protection and data autonomy! Investing is possible starting from EUR 1,000 via https://somi.nl/investment. Don't forget to participate in our actions yourself for the compensation(s) you are personally entitled to, in addition to the payouts from your certificates!
With your commitment, you support our fight for a future where we are less manipulated by our own data, and where companies that break the law are brought to court to pay damages.
With our network campaign, we save on the costs of online marketing, which would otherwise go to TikTok, Meta, X and Snapchat. We prefer to share the compensation for litigation funding with our own participants. All proceeds remaining after the completion of each campaign will be used exclusively in furtherance of our non-profit statutory objectives.
