Terms of Service

Registration

In connection with your use of the Service, you agree and represent as follows:

1. You must be human. Accounts registered by "bots" or similar automated methods are not allowed.
2. You are of legal age (at least 13 years of age) and are otherwise capable of forming a legally binding contract;
3. You expressly agree to be contacted via Email, SMS, text messaging and Push Notifications by us, and third parties, if relevant, regarding our Services;
4. You hereby grant us permission to email you or display your profile and such other information as may be supplied by you for public display as you designate;
5. By using the Service, you are granting us (and any service providers or Providers used by us) permission to access your account and those messages, data, information, text, graphics, audio, video or other material and content of any kind posted/uploaded/transmitted to or through the Service using your account, to process and submit said material to designated BlueprintNYC Clients and End Users.
6. You agree that you will not use the Service in a manner that is inconsistent with the rights and restrictions as set forth in this Terms of Service.
7. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Account and password. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation.
8. Except as set forth below, BlueprintNYC will use its registered developer account with each Provider and will be the sole publisher of your Applications with any mobile platform provider including, but not limited to, the Apple Inc. ("Apple") App Store™, Android Market™, or Blackberry App World™. Mobile platform providers are referred to in this document as "Providers." You may use your own Account to self-publish an Application developed using our Web Site and/or Service with any such Providers only with prior written permission from BlueprintNYC, in which case additional fees may apply.

Payment and Refund Terms

1. A free trial may be offered, but publishing an App requires a valid credit card. If you prefer to pay by wire transfer or any alternate methods, please contact BlueprintNYC's support team, as exceptions may be made from time to time for an alternate method of payment with BlueprintNYC.
2. The Single-Event Service is billed on an annual basis in advance, and is non-refundable. The Multi-Event Service is billed on both monthly and annual basis in advance, and is non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for setup fees, partial months of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds, or refunds for months unused with an open Account.
3. All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes.
4. BlueprintNYC will use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Application approved by the applicable Providers. Although there is a high likelihood of approval, we do not and cannot guarantee acceptance. If your Application is denied by the appropriate Provider, you may cancel your Account. However, there are no refunds under any circumstances.
5. If invoiced, payment is due upon receipt.
6. Prices for the Service, including but not limited to annual subscription plan fees to the Service, are subject to change upon 30 days notice. Such notice may be provided at any time by posting the changes to the Site or through the Service itself.

Responsibility For User Content

We respect the rights of third party creators and content owners and expect that you will do the same. Given the nature of the Service and the volume of information submitted, we cannot and do not monitor all of the Materials (defined below) posted or transmitted by you and other third-party information providers via the Service. You expressly agree that we: (a) will not be liable for Materials and (b) reserve the right to review, reject, delete, remove, modify, or edit any Materials at any time for any reason, without liability and without notice to you. We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to remove User Content from the Service for any reason, including User Content that we believe violates these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy below.

It is our policy to respond to all claims of intellectual property infringement. We will promptly investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions required under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c)(2) ("DMCA") and other applicable intellectual property laws.

Pursuant to the DMCA, notifications of claimed copyright infringement should be sent to a Service Provider's Designated Agent. Notification must be submitted to the following Designated Agent for this web site:

Blueprint NYC LLC

233 Broadway Ste. 1740 | New York, New York | 10279

Email: support@blueprintnyc.com

Phone: 646.558.6447

To be effective, the notification must be a written communication that includes the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material;
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

You consent to such automatic upgrading on your mobile device, and agree that the terms and conditions of these Terms will apply to all such upgrades. The foregoing license grant is not a sale of the App or any copy thereof, and we or our third party licensors or suppliers retain all right, title, and interest in and to the App (and any copy of the App). You agree to comply with all United States and foreign laws related to use of the App and the Service. Standard carrier data charges may apply to your use of the App.
