Unified constant when using custom exceptions

I am trying to create custom exceptions for my application. I have a sample library in the libs folder with the following folder structure:

- lib/
|
|--social/
  |
  |-- bandcamp.rb

And this content is bandcamp.rbas follows:

module Social
  class ExampleException < Exception; end

  class Bandcamp
    def some_method()
    end
  end
end

And the whole point is that I can use Social::Bandcamp.new.some_methodanywhere in my application, and it works fine, but I can’t access it Social::ExampleExceptionand never raise it anywhere. It gives me

NameError: uninitialized constant Social::ExampleException

Do you have any ideas what I can do wrong? I am completely new to creating my own libraries, so I’m sure that something did not understand.
