Terms and Conditions of Service for Blink Development, LLC dba FlexKit

1. Financial Provisions; Tax Responsibilities; Definition of Services and Products

Upon subscribing to FlexKit services, you agree to pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. The Service Fees include charges for the use of the FlexKit service, and any additional fees for add-on services not included in the base price. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars.

You are responsible for paying all taxes levied in connection with your use of the services, including sales, use, value-added, property, and similar taxes. Blink Development LLC will make all reasonable efforts to accurately calculate taxes; however, you are ultimately responsible for paying taxes applicable to your jurisdiction.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "Services" provided by Blink Development LLC shall encompass all software, platforms, tools, features, capabilities, and support offered to Users, regardless of whether such offerings are traditionally characterized as tangible or intangible goods, products, or services. Blink Development LLC may, at its discretion, use the terms "Services" and "Products" interchangeably to refer to its suite of solutions, including but not limited to software as a service (SaaS) applications, digital platforms, and any related support or maintenance services provided. This usage reflects the integrated nature of Blink Development LLC's offerings, which may consist of both the provision of digital products and the accompanying services necessary for their optimal use.

1.1 Service Fees: Fees associated with the ongoing use of FlexKit ("Service Fees") are also non-refundable and fully earned Service Fees are charged in advance and are based on the service package selected by you. Given the nature of digital service delivery and the immediate access to the service's features and capabilities upon activation, all Service Fees are non-refundable. This includes fees for the initial term and any subsequent renewal terms.

1.2 Integration Fees: The fees charged for the initial setup and integration of the FlexKit service into your system or operations ("Integration Fees") are non-refundable and fully earned. Integration Fees cover the cost of the proprietary resources, labor, and technology required to configure and deploy the FlexKit service according to your specifications and needs. Once paid, these fees shall not be subject to refund, regardless of the extent of use of the FlexKit service.

1.3 Late Fees: If any fee due under these Terms is not received by Blink Development LLC within fifteen (15) days after the due date, a late payment fee may be applied. The late payment fee will be equivalent to 5% of the overdue payment amount, which represents a fair and reasonable estimate for the damages Blink Development LLC would suffer due to such late payment. This late fee is not intended as a penalty but as a charge to compensate Blink Development LLC for the delay in receiving the due payment. In the event of service suspension due to non-payment, a reasonable compliance restoration fee may be assessed for the restoration of service, which must be paid in full prior to the reinstatement of your access to Blink Development LLC's services.

2. Duration of Service Commitment; Renewal Intentions

You shall enter into a commitment for the Initial Term of the service upon your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. Before the end of the Initial Term, Blink Development LLC may notify you of your upcoming renewal. Unless you provide a written notice of non-renewal, the subscription will automatically continue under the then-current terms.

3. License Allocation; Extended Enterprise Rights

The license provided to you under these Terms and Conditions is solely for the purpose of accessing and using FlexKit in accordance with the agreed-upon services. This license is non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, and revocable. You are authorized to extend these usage rights to your affiliates and subsidiaries provided they comply with all applicable provisions of this agreement.

3.1 Intellectual Property Protection As a user of Blink Development LLC services, you are prohibited from copying or installing any part of our services onto any network server not explicitly designated for use within the premises or virtual environments outlined in your service contract with Blink Development LLC. Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, you shall not make copies of any portions of the services, nor engage in disassembling, decompiling, or reverse-engineering the services. The rights granted under this Agreement do not extend to sublicensing, renting, or lending any service, nor do they permit the creation of derivative works based on the service, unless explicitly stated otherwise herein. Blink Development LLC disclaims any liability or responsibility for conflicts or compatibility issues that may occur due to the use of the services with other equipment or software not provided by Blink Development LLC.

4. Service Level and Warranty Disclaimers; System Interruption Policies

Blink Development LLC does not warrant that the services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. Planned system downtime will be communicated in advance, and Blink Development LLC will take reasonable steps to minimize any other disruptions to service. In the event of system failure, Blink Development LLC's liability will be limited to service restoration as soon as reasonably possible. Blink Development LLC's service delivery relies on various third-party services, including but not limited to, cloud hosting platforms, data storage, and processing services. While Blink Development LLC endeavors to select reputable and reliable third-party providers, Blink Development LLC shall not be held responsible for any interruption, malfunction, downtime, or other failures of any third-party services that impact the availability or functionality of Blink Development LLC's services. In the event of a downstream outage or issue due to third-party service failure, Blink Development LLC will work diligently to restore service but disclaims any liability for disruptions outside of our direct control.
