1. Agreement Overview
This Terms of Use ("Agreement") constitutes a legally binding agreement between Blink Cut, LLC, a Limited Liability Company organized under the laws of the Czech Republic ("Blink Cut"), and the Customer ("Customer"). Failure to agree to and adhere to all terms, conditions, and obligations contained herein results in the prohibition of the Customer's use of the Services, requiring immediate discontinuation. Except for ongoing obligations, such as payment for services rendered, the relationship between Customer and Blink Cut shall cease upon termination of this Agreement.
2. Service Plans
The following outlines the Service Plans offered by Blink Cut, subject to the terms and conditions herein. Customers acknowledge that payments are for the assignment of talent and the provision of services rendered during the service period, and not for the delivery of specific quantities of any deliverables. Circumstances may arise that prevent the fulfillment of specific deliverable quantities; hence, subscriptions are charged on a per-service-period basis, with each period being one month in duration.
Standard Plan: This plan provides the assignment of a full-time video editor and the creation of up to two thumbnail designs at a monthly rate of $2,995. This plan offers the flexibility to pause or cancel anytime, along with a money-back guarantee for the first video if the customer is unsatisfied.
The Pro Plan: Starting at a monthly rate of $7,995 and includes a dedicated full-time team of video editors. This plan also provides advanced 2D and 3D animation services, along with the creation of three thumbnail designs per video. Customers have the flexibility to pause or cancel at any time. All Service Plans are subject to modification, enhancement, or revision at the sole discretion of Blink Cut. If we make any changes to the Terms and Conditions, we will notify customers at least one week in advance.
3. Cancellation, Renewal, and Pausing Policy
Customers must cancel their service at least seven days prior to the renewal date to avoid charges for the subsequent period. Failure to cancel within this timeframe will result in non-refundable charges due to the allocation of resources, such as assigned animators. Customers may also request to pause their service for a maximum of one week, subject to Blink Cut's approval. Approval will be guaranteed if all assigned work is completed; otherwise, it will depend on workload and resource availability. A service pause can only be requested once per month and cannot be extended or repeated within the same billing cycle.
4. Automatic Acceptance of Work
Work delivered to the Customer will be deemed automatically accepted 48 hours after delivery, unless the Customer provides specific feedback or requests revisions within this timeframe. This policy is in place to facilitate the timely commencement of editing the next video, ensuring that Customers receive the highest quantity of content possible within their service plan.
5. Pricing Plans and Refund Policy
Customers may cancel their subscription at any time. However, as an animator is assigned to the account at the time of creation, no refunds are offered under any circumstances. In the event of a cancellation, Blink Cut ensures that the customer will continue to receive the service as promised until the end of the current billing cycle. Please note, there are no partial month refunds, and the cancellation will take effect from the next billing cycle following the cancellation request.
For customers on the Standard Plan, the first-ever video will be eligible for a money-back guarantee, provided the customer is not satisfied with the result. This feature is only available for the first video created under the Standard Plan and does not apply to any subsequent videos or plans.
