This Service Agreement (the "Agreement") governs your use of our internet-delivered services for displaying and providing links to content on “Pages” you maintain on Facebook, including access to Web-based reporting tools and other internet-delivered services that bMingle makes available to you from time to time (collectively, the “Services”). We provide the Services from our Web site with the primary home page www.bmingle.com (the “Site”). THIS AGREEMENT GOVERNS BOTH YOUR FREE TRIAL FOR THE SERVICES AND YOUR ONGOING, PAID USE OF THE SERVICES (IF ANY).
1. Acceptance of Agreement. This Agreement is between bMingle, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “bMingle”) and the individual or company that you identify when you register for the Services. YOU ARE ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY (OR LEGAL ENTITY) THAT YOU IDENTIFY IN THE REGISTRATION FORM ON OUR SITE. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH COMPANY OR ENTITY TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU OR YOUR COMPANY DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN NEITHER YOU NOR YOUR COMPANY HAS THE RIGHT TO USE THE SERVICES, AND YOU SHOULD NOT ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT. THE TERMS “YOU” AND “YOUR,” WHEN USED BELOW, REFER TO THE COMPANY OR ENTITY INDICATED IN YOUR REGISTRATION. BY CHECKING THE “I ACCEPT” CHECKBOX AND INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
2. Modifications to Agreement. We may modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement at any time upon thirty (30) days’ notice to you of any changes that affect you. We will provide this notice via email to the email address you give us when you register for the Services. If you do not agree to the updated Agreement, you may terminate the Agreement by email notice in the manner described in Section 5.2 below. Your continued use of the Services after notice will constitute your acceptance of the modified Agreement.
3. Fees. There is no fee for access to the Services during the initial free trial period that we offer to you on the Site in connection with your registration (the “Free Trial Period”). Your Free Trial Period begins on the day you accept this Agreement. After the Free Trial Period, you agree to pay a monthly service fee in the amount indicated when you register for the Services (“Monthly Service Fee”), unless you notify us before the end of the Free Trial Period in accordance with Section 5.2. We may change the Monthly Service Fee from time to time upon 15 days’ notice to you. The Monthly Service Fee is payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month for as long as this Agreement remains in effect. The Monthly Service Fee for the first calendar month after your Free Trial Period ends are pro-rated based on the number of days remaining in such month, and are payable when your Free Trial Period ends.
4. Payment; Taxes. When you register for the Services, you will provide us with a valid, up-to-date credit card number or the other payment information we request as part of your registration. If you select a credit card as your payment method, you authorize us to charge your credit card for all Monthly Service Fees. We charge you for Monthly Service Fee in advance on the first day of each calendar month in accordance with Section 3. Each Monthly Service Fee is nonrefundable. You are responsible for maintaining up-to-date payment information on our Site. If we cannot charge your credit card for any Monthly Service Fee when due because your credit card payment information is no longer valid and up-to-date, or if we do not receive your payment when due through the alternative payment method you have selected, we will immediately terminate this Agreement and your right to access the Service will cease. The fees payable under this Agreement do not include local, state or federal taxes or duties of any kind; except for taxes based on our income or gross receipts, you will assume and pay all such taxes.
5. Term and Termination.
5.1 Term. This Agreement begins when you accept the Agreement and register for the Services (the “Effective Date”) and will remain in effect indefinitely unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section.
5.2 Termination by You. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving us at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice of your non-renewal, which you may provide via email to support@bmingle.com. Such termination will be effective as of the end of the then-current calendar month (or, if your notice is given less than 15 days before the end of the current calendar month, at the end of the following month).
5.3 Termination by Us. We may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason, by giving you five (5) days’ written notice to the email address you provided when you registered for the Services. Our termination will be effective at the end of the then-current calendar month (or, if our notice is given less than 5 days before the end of the current calendar month, at the end of the following month). In addition, we may terminate this Agreement immediately and discontinue your access to the Services at any time, without any obligation to notify you in advance, if we cease providing the Services to all of our customers or if, in our reasonable judgment: (a) you are in breach of any material provision of this Agreement, (b) you misappropriate or infringe any of our intellectual property or proprietary rights, or (c) you fail to make a payment when due (e.g., because your payment information is out-of-date or invalid).
5.4 Effect of Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason: (a) bMingle will cease providing Services to you; (b) all rights and obligations under this Agreement will cease, except that Sections 3 and 4 (with respect to payments accrued but unpaid as of termination), 5.4, and 7 through 13 will survive such termination or expiration; (c) notwithstanding any term of a surviving section, you will have no further right to use or receive the Services; and (d) you will not be entitled to any refund of fees paid.
