4.1
Personal Account
. As a User, you will be required to create an account, which will be associated with a username and a password. Your Blip account is for your exclusive personal use. You may not authorize others to use your account, nor may you assign or transfer your account to any other person or entity.
(a) Your account is associated with a username and a password, and you are responsible for
protecting both. If you believe the security of your username, your password, and/or your account has been compromised, you must contact us immediately using the contact information provided in Section 6.10 of these Terms.
(b) When creating an account, you may be asked to provide information such as contact
information and billing information. You warrant that all such information you provide is
complete, accurate, and current and that we may rely on such information.
4.2
Content
. You retain all rights, title and interest in and to your Content. By submitting Content
for display on the Platform, you agree to the following:
o
(a) You are solely responsible for and assume all liability for your Content and bear all risks
and liability associated with using the Platform to display the Content.
o
(b) You warrant that the Content does not contain misleading, false, illegal, or inappropriate
information or otherwise violate our design guidelines (the “Design Guidelines,” available at
https://www.blipbillboards.com/billboard design guidelines/).
o
(c) You warrant that you own or otherwise control all rights (including but not limited to
copyright and trademark rights) necessary to use the Content and that our display and use of
such Content will not infringe or violate the rights of any third party.
4.3
Payment and Collections
. You will be charged for the presentation of your Content on a Sign. All prepaid fees are non-refundable and are subject to our Dormant Account Fee Policy set forth in Section 4.3(b) below.
If you have not prepaid, a credit hold for your expected expenditures will be placed on the credit card you provide us. We will charge your credit card for the actual spend not more than 7 days after the presentation of your Content.
In addition to our fees, you are responsible for all taxes and other government charges associated with the display of your Content. Late payments will accrue interest at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1½%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. You agree to pay reasonable fees, including attorney fees, that we incur collecting late payments. Payment of fees due hereunder shall not be subject to set off, counterclaim, adjustment, reduction or otherwise by virtue of any actual or potential claim against Blip.
(b) Dormant Account Fee Policy
An account shall be considered “Dormant” if there has been no active user-initiated activity for a continuous period of 12 months. For purposes of this section, user-initiated activity includes, but is not limited to, prepaid payment transactions, campaign creation, or presentation of your Content on a Sign.
If Blip classifies your account as Dormant, any unused and unexpired promotional credits applied to the account will be forfeited, and Blip will charge a monthly maintenance fee equal to the greater of (i) 5% of the prepaid funds in your account, or (ii) $50.00. We will automatically deduct the monthly maintenance fee from the prepaid funds in your account. If the account balance is zero or becomes zero due to the deduction of the Dormant account fee, no further fees will be assessed, but the account will remain in dormant status until reactivated by the user.
Users can reactivate their Dormant account at any time by performing a user-initiated activity. Upon reactivation, the account will no longer be subject to Dormant account fees unless there again has been no active user-initiated activity for a continuous period of 12 months, in which it will be considered Dormant once again.
Under certain circumstances, such as prolonged illness, military service, or other extenuating circumstances, users may request a waiver for dormant account fees. Requests must be submitted in writing and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis using the contact information provided in Section 6.10 of these Terms.
We reserve the right to modify the terms of the dormant account policy at any time. Changes will be communicated to users through email at least 30 days prior to taking effect. Continued use of the account after changes have been made will constitute acceptance of the new terms.
(c) Promotional Credit
We reserve the right to adjust any promotional credit, Blip credit, or non-cash value credit given to the user in accounts based on terms of agreements. All credits issued for promotional purposes (“Promotional Credits”) must be utilized within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of issuance. Failure to utilize Promotional Credits not used within thirty (30) days of the date of issuance will be automatically forfeited. Customer will not receive any compensation for forfeited Promotional Credits, nor will Promotional Credits be reinstated under any circumstances.
4.4
External Destinations
. You are solely responsible for all external destinations to which your
Content may direct viewers (each, a “Destination”), including but not limited to physical locations,
websites, and phone numbers. You are solely responsible for any products or services offered at
such Destinations. By posting Content that directs viewers to a Destination, Blip does not endorse
or become affiliated with such Destination.
4.5
Other Policies and Guidelines
. Your use of the Platform is subject to the Design Guidelines
and any other policies and guidelines that we may put in place. We reserve the right to augment
or modify such policies and guidelines at any time.
4.6
Removal of Content
. We may remove Content at any time if we, in our sole discretion,
determine that such content violates the Design Guidelines, is illegal or is otherwise offensive to
the moral standards of the community. We believe that our medium is an outlet for free speech;
however we balance that
role with a strong commitment to adhere to community standards and to
ensure that the messages placed on our inventory are not offensive towards any business, group
or individual. We carefully evaluate all requests for advertising placement on a case-by-case
basis and make the best decision for our clients, our company and the communities in which we
operate.DISPLAYED CONTENT; OUTAGES AND INTERRUPTIONS
4.7
No Guarantee of Display
. We do not guarantee that your Content will be presented on any
Signs. If your Content is not presented on a Sign, you will not be charged.
4.8
Outages
. Signs are subject to various outages which may restrict our ability to display, edit, or
remove Content. If such outages occur, you will only be billed for presentations of your C
ontent
on a Sign, consistent with your Targets and Budgets. You acknowledge that during an outage,
the ability to edit, delete, or otherwise change any Content that is already in a Sign’s schedule
may be delayed for an undefined period of time, and you agree that the unmodified Content may
continue to be displayed on the Sign until the outage is resolved.
4.9
Partial Display Failures
. Signs are subject to various software, hardware, and environmental
conditions which may cause Content to be only
partially displayed or partially visible on the Sign
(a “Partial Display Failure”). At our sole discretion, we may determine that a Partial Display
Failure has reduced the value of the presentation of your Content and may, at our sole discretion,
reduce the fees associated with such presentation or waive them entirely.

RECOVERING OR REPRODUCING ANY FILES OR DATA OR LOSS OF USE OR LACK OF
AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES OR ANY BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF REVENUE
OR PROFIT OR ANY OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL ECONOMIC LOSS WHATSOEVER)
HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AND
WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE, EVEN IF THE BLIP PARTIES OR ANY OF THEM HAS
BEEN INFORMED IN ADVANCE OR OUGHT REASONABLY TO HAVE KNOWN OF THE
POTENTIAL FOR SUCH DAMAGES.
If, notwithstanding the other provisions of these Terms, the Blip Parties should have any liability
to you or any third party for any loss, harm or damage, you and Blip agree that such liability shall
under no circumstances exceed $50.00. The terms and conditions of these Terms that limit
liability reflect an agreed allocation of risk between you and Blip. Some jurisdictions may not allow
the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, or limits on the duration or voiding of implied
warranties or conditions; as it relates to consumer purchasers and in such jurisdictions, the limits
and exclusions herein may not apply to the extent provided by applicable law.
