Terms of Service

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY; THIS IS A BINDING CONTRACT. Welcome to the brandboom.com website (the "Site"), which is owned and operated by Blackcloset, Inc. ("brandboom"). This Terms of Service agreement (this "ToS") describes the terms and conditions applicable to your access and use of the Site and the services offered through the Site (the "Services"). This ToS sets forth the terms and conditions under which brandboom ("brandboom," "we" or "us") provide you access to the Site and the Services.
brandboom may amend this ToS at any time by posting the amended ToS on the Site, and you agree that you will be bound by any changes to this ToS by accessing or using the Site or any of the Services after the amended ToS has been posted.
Your use of the Site and/or the Services signifies that you agree to all of the terms and conditions in this ToS. If you are using the Site and/or the Services on behalf of another company, such as your employer or a client, you acknowledge and agree that you have the authority to bind such company to these ToS.

1. Requirements

Before you can use certain aspects of the Services, you must: (a) agree to this ToS, and (b) register for an Account (defined below). You are responsible for any internet connection fees that you incur when accessing the Site or the Services.

2. Accounts, Fees, and Security

2.1 Accounts. There are three types of accounts available through the Services (each, an "Account"): (a) "Buyer's Accounts" which provide "view only" access to certain aspects of the Site and the Services and enable buyers to place orders for sellers' products and do not require the payment of a subscription fee; (b) "Seller's Accounts" which permit access to subscription-only features of the Services, such as the ability to upload and make Content (defined below) available through the Services; and (c) "User Accounts" for which a username and password is provided by brandboom to allow multiple users to access the Services through a Seller's Account. You may create only one (1) Account and you must complete the Account registration process by providing current, complete and accurate information ("Registration Information"). If any of your submitted Registration Information changes, you agree to promptly update the Registration Information to reflect those changes.
2.2 Seller's Accounts. You may create a Seller's Account which will allow you to access certain aspects of the Services on a 14-day trial basis free of charge (the "Trial Period"). To continue your use of your Seller's Account following the Trial Period, you must submit an order form specifying the number of User Accounts for which you wish to purchase a subscription. Subscriptions may be purchased on a monthly or annual basis. You will receive a fixed number of User Accounts depending on the subscription level you select. Only one user may be assigned to each User Account and you agree that you will not allow more than one user to access or share a User Account with the exception of allowing your internal technical support personnel to access a User Account for technical support purposes and replacing employees who have terminated employment with your company. You may add additional User Accounts at any time after you create your Seller's Account. These additional User Accounts shall terminate on the expiration date for the first User Account subscription you purchase.
2.3 Fees. The subscription fee for each Seller's Account is based on the number of User Accounts you designate in a Seller's Account order form. Subscriptions fees for User Accounts that you subsequently add will be prorated for the remainder of the term in effect. When you submit an order form, you agree to pay all fees set forth in the order form and all applicable taxes. All payments must be made in US Dollars. If you choose to be invoiced, payments are due thirty (30) days after the invoice date. If you choose to pay by credit card or debit card, the applicable fees will be charged to the account number you provide us in the order form.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SELLER'S ACCOUNT FEES ARE NOT REFUNDABLE.
2.4 Delinquent Payments. Delinquent payments may accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month (or the maximum rate permitted by law, if less) from the date such payment was due until the date payment is received. Seller's Account holders will be responsible for any costs incurred by brandboom in collecting delinquent amounts. brandboom may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, accelerate the payment obligations of a delinquent Seller's Account so that such amounts are immediately due and payable, and brandboom may suspend access to the Seller's Account until all amounts are paid in full.
2.5 Account Security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all of your Account usernames and passwords. You agree to notify brandboom immediately if you believe that an Account has been compromised. You understand and agree that you will be liable for any activity performed by others using your Account. brandboom is not responsible for any loss or damages arising from your failure to maintain the confidentiality of your password.
2.6 Cancellation by You. You may cancel any Account registered to you at any time by following the instructions on the Site.
2.7 Effect of Account Termination or Cancellation. If you voluntarily terminate an Account or allow that Account to lapse, you may reactivate that Account at any time through the account interface on the Site. Accounts terminated by brandboom for any type of abuse including, without limitation, a violation of this ToS, may not be reactivated. In the event you cancel a Seller's Account: (a) the Seller's Account holder is responsible for the balance of all unpaid fees associated with that Seller's Account, which shall become immediately due and payable on the date of cancellation; and (b) brandboom may, but has no obligation to, maintain the Content (defined in Section 4.1) you have uploaded to the Services and brandboom cannot ensure that you will be able to retrieve or recover any of your uploaded Content from the Site or the Services.

3. Restrictions and Conditions of Use

13. General

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and brandboom. brandboom may assign any of its rights or obligation under this ToS at any time to any other person or entity without your consent.

If any part of this ToS is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then that portion shall be severed, and the remainder of the ToS shall be given full force and effect. You agree that, in the event any dispute or claim arises out of or relating to your use of the Site or any of the Service, you and brandboom will attempt in good faith to negotiate a written resolution.

This ToS shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States of America without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. Any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this ToS will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the California State and U.S. federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California and you consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
