LANGUAGE
It is the express wish of the parties that the Terms of Use and all related documents have been drawn up in English.
GENERAL
The Terms of Use and other rules, guidelines, licenses and disclaimers posted via the Site or in connection with the Materials and
Services constitute the entire agreement between BlackFin Media and you with respect to your access to or use of the Site, Materials and Services
superseding any prior agreements between you and BlackFin Media on such subject matter (including any prior versions of the Terms of Use).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any terms set forth in the Terms of Use expressly contradict any terms of a written
agreement between you and BlackFin Media regarding the use of specific Services or Materials (including Service-specific terms of use and
Software-specific licenses) ("Executed Agreement"), such contradictory terms set forth in the Executed Agreement shall govern. You
may also be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use other BlackFin Media services, third party content or third
party software. You may not assign or otherwise transfer the Terms of Use nor any right granted hereunder without BlackFin Media’s prior written
consent. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of the Terms of Use, or portion thereof, to be
unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties as
reflected by that provision, and the remainder of the Terms of Use shall continue in full force and effect. Any failure by BlackFin Media to
enforce or exercise any provision of the Terms of Use or related right shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. The
section titles used in the Terms of Use are purely for convenience and carry with them no legal or contractual effect.
REFUND POLICY
We do not offer refunds on services rendered. All sales are final.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Contractual work that has been formally agreed to, but which has not yet begun, may be cancelled with a minimum of 2 weeks advance notice. |
