Purchase Agreement

By signing and submitting the “Confirm Contract” button, you acknowledge your acceptance of the terms and conditions presented on this page. The following conditions are applicable to clients who have received an invoice from Blikket LLC.

Hereinafter referred to as the “Client,” any individual or entity purchasing services outlined in this document as “Services,” which include Web Development, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Campaigns, Social Media Marketing, Content Creation, Graphic Design, E-commerce Solutions, WordPress Development, WooCommerce Setup, Hack Removal, Audio/Video Production, Branding, Training, and any other marketing and sales services offered by Blikket LLC.

The Client authorizes Blikket LLC as an independent contractor to design and set up new accounts for the purchased services, including access to pre-existing accounts with necessary permissions and third-party account access for content development and management. References in this agreement to “Blikket,” “the Service Provider,” and “the Developer” mean Blikket LLC.

Common Terms & Conditions for Our Services

The Client engages Blikket LLC as an independent contractor for the specific purpose of designing and establishing new accounts for the purchased services. The Client grants authorization for Blikket LLC to access existing accounts with necessary permissions and to manage the login information and third-party access required for designing and developing the services. This includes accessing licensed images, copyrighted text, technical configurations, audio, video media, and other content necessary for service development.

Links:

All links provided by the Client are expected to be verified and approved for use on the Client’s services. Blikket LLC disclaims any responsibility for legal repercussions resulting from unauthorized links used on the Client’s services.

Graphics & Audio Video Media:

Blikket LLC is responsible for creating, acquiring, or modifying all necessary graphic, audio, and video elements essential for the completion of the Client’s services. This encompasses tasks such as audio and video creation, photography, editing, animation, and the integration of third-party stock photography, audio, and video elements. Specific details include:

• 3rd Party Stock Photography, Audio, and Video: The client is responsible for any expenses associated with purchasing third-party stock photography. The Client is fully accountable for the provision of third-party stock photography, audio, and video elements and indemnifies Blikket LLC and its subcontractors from any liability arising from the use of such materials.

Third-Party Content: 

Clients are accountable for any expenses related to purchasing third-party media content. By providing third-party content, the client indemnifies Blikket and its subcontractors from any legal claims arising from the use of such materials.

Additional Service Modifications: 

1. Requests for substantial new content creation or major modifications to existing elements at the client’s behest.
2. Changes to company branding and logos, as well as the setup of various Google tools, as requested by the client.
3. Replacement of significant portions of text, images, or graphics on a page based on the client’s instructions.
4. Implementing new navigational structures or altering design elements upon client request.
5. Overhauling Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising accounts, campaigns, or website links as directed by the client.
6. Monthly technical maintenance tasks such as content updates, e-commerce adjustments, and more beyond the standard plan.
7. Any additional website content updates not covered by the Client’s retainer scope.

Clients with frequent design alterations during the process or those seeking detailed involvement in design decisions are advised to negotiate tailored agreements upfront to align expectations properly. Any significant deviations from the initial agreement may be subject to additional invoiced charges.

Additional Services:

Any services performed outside the scope of the fixed package prices or retainer agreements will be billed at our standard rate of $238 per hour. This hourly rate applies to, but is not limited to, internal communications and coordination within the Blikket team (including time spent fulfilling change requests), external communications with the client or third parties, revisions, design work, development work, project management, research, consultation, and any other tasks or services not expressly included in the initial agreement. All such additional work will be itemized and included on your invoice on request.

Copyright and Trademarks

Clients are responsible for ensuring ownership or proper permissions for all elements provided for inclusion in their website, indemnifying Blikket from any related claims. The client retains ownership of the content used during the development, and Blikket is not liable for any content errors, omissions, or copyright infringements.

Third-Party Modifications and Assignments

Clients may independently update the services post-development, bearing responsibility for any damages that result from such modifications. Blikket reserves the right to assign subcontractors to ensure timely and effective completion of the development.

Additional Expenses and Liability

Clients agree to reimburse Blikket LLC for critical expenses incurred for development completion. The Client confirms that it is at least eighteen (18) years of age, or is an entity with authority to enter into this agreement. Professional conduct is expected from clients, with Blikket LLC maintaining a zero-tolerance policy for any form of abuse towards its team.

Expenses and Reimbursements

The Client agrees to reimburse Blikket LLC for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the services provided, including but not limited to:

• Travel expenses (flights, trains, taxis, car rentals, fuel, parking, tolls)
• Accommodation and lodging
• Meals during travel or on-site visits
• Office visits, client site visits, or in-person meetings requested by the Client
• Shipping, courier, or delivery costs
• Any third-party fees, licenses, or subscriptions required for project execution

All expenses will be invoiced at cost and are due upon receipt. Where possible, Blikket LLC will seek prior approval for significant expenses; however, the Client remains responsible for all reasonable costs incurred in the delivery of services.

Limited Liability and Indemnification

Blikket enforces standards on material submitted for publication to avoid abusive or unethical content. Clients indemnify Blikket from liabilities associated with the services provided, agreeing to the limitation of the Service Provider’s liability for damages.

Ownership, Design Credit, and Reviews

Upon final payment, copyright ownership of the completed work is transferred to the Client, along with design credit and inclusion in Blikket LLC’s portfolio. The confidentiality and nondisclosure of sensitive information from both parties are paramount.

Until all amounts due are paid in full, Blikket LLC retains all rights in the work produced, whether delivered, previewed, or shared for review. The Client has no license to use, publish, reproduce, modify, or develop from that work. Use of unpaid work is unauthorized and infringing.

Completion Date, Cancellation, and Entire Understanding

Timely collaboration is essential for project completion. Cancellation, upgrade, downgrade, and pause terms are set out in the Cancellation, Upgrades, and Downgrades section.

This agreement, together with the Client’s quote and invoice, is the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior discussions, proposals, calls, and representations. No variation, waiver, or amendment is effective unless made in writing by Blikket LLC. No statement made in a call, meeting, or informal message varies this agreement or creates any obligation on Blikket LLC to perform work outside the scope stated on the Client’s quote.

Payment Terms

Clients are generally required to pay the full-service cost upfront unless otherwise specified. Development work begins upon receipt of full payment and necessary content access. Payments can be made through various methods, with a minimum deposit sometimes required for large projects. Failure to pay may result in suspension of services, withholding of undelivered work, and collection actions.

Blikket and its subsidiaries, or any other company owned and operated by the founder of Blikket, such as “RADAHL BENZ” in Norway, are authorized to carry out collection actions in any country, including but not limited to Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the USA, if payments fail to process. Where a subsidiary or affiliated company of the Client has guaranteed, assumed, or received the benefit of the Client’s obligations under this agreement, Blikket LLC may pursue collection against that entity to the extent permitted by law. This provision ensures seamless payment recovery, leveraging the most suitable entity within the founder’s network, while adhering to each country’s legal guidelines.

Where an invoice remains unpaid five (5) days after its due date, Blikket LLC may charge the payment method the Client has authorized for recurring billing. Where it remains unpaid ten (10) days after its due date, Blikket LLC may invoice the entire outstanding amount immediately. All associated fees are the responsibility of the Client. Blikket LLC may employ collection agencies (“Inkasso”) to facilitate payment recovery.

If the Client fails to pay any invoice when due, Blikket reserves the right to suspend or close the Client’s account and stop all services. Upon closure for non-payment, Blikket LLC will issue a final closing invoice covering all amounts already outstanding, together with the greater of the retainer fees remaining in the applicable minimum commitment or three (3) months of retainer fees representing the notice period. This applies whether the account is closed by the Client or by Blikket LLC. The parties agree this amount is a reasonable estimate of the loss to Blikket LLC from committed capacity that cannot be reallocated at short notice, and is not a penalty. Fees on a closing invoice are non-refundable and due upon receipt, and the refund terms that apply when Blikket cancels services at its own discretion do not apply where closure results from the Client’s non-payment or breach. Any unpaid closing invoice is subject to the same collection actions and late-payment charges set out in this agreement.

Monthly Retainer Terms

Blikket LLC provides services on a monthly retainer basis. Each retainer has a monthly fee, a monthly allowance, and a defined scope of services. These are stated on the quote and invoice issued to the Client, which form part of this agreement. Where the quote and this agreement conflict on fee, allowance, or scope, the quote controls as to those three items only. All other terms of this agreement apply in full.

No retainer includes a trial, free, or introductory period unless Blikket LLC states one expressly on the Client’s quote.

Naming and Characterization

The terms of this agreement apply to any arrangement under which the Client pays Blikket LLC a recurring monthly fee for services, whatever that arrangement is called. Program and level names are descriptive labels used for pricing and reference. They do not define, limit, or vary the terms that apply.

An arrangement is governed by this agreement whether it is described as a membership, a retainer, a plan, a subscription, a package, a program, a custom or negotiated arrangement, or by no name at all, and whether the name used is current, superseded, or appears only on an invoice line item.

The absence of a level name does not remove a retainer from this agreement.

The three (3) month minimum commitment and the three (3) month notice period for cancellation and downgrades apply to every recurring monthly arrangement regardless of the name used to describe it. No naming, renaming, or absence of a name creates an exemption from those terms.

Retainer Levels

Retainers metered by hours:

Retainers metered by campaign volume:

Hours or campaigns above the allowance for the Client’s level are billed at the standard hourly rate set out in the Additional Services section.

Blikket LLC may add, withdraw, rename, or vary published levels at any time. Where a level is renamed or withdrawn, a Client’s quote naming that level continues on the allowance stated for it at the date of the quote until changed under the Cancellation, Upgrades, and Downgrades section.

Custom Retainers

Blikket LLC may agree a custom retainer with a Client, with a fee, allowance, and scope set specifically for that Client. A custom retainer is agreed in writing and stated on the quote and invoice. Its allowance may be a custom hour cap, a custom campaign volume, or a defined scope of recurring services.

A custom retainer is a retainer for all purposes under this agreement. Every term that applies to a published level applies to a custom retainer without exception, including the three (3) month minimum commitment, the three (3) month notice period for cancellation and downgrades, the treatment of pauses and suspensions, the non-transferability of unused hours and deliverables, and the billing of work above the allowance at the standard hourly rate.

Agreeing a custom fee, allowance, or scope does not vary any other term of this agreement, and does not shorten or waive any notice period unless Blikket LLC states that variation expressly and in writing.

A move between a published level and a custom retainer, in either direction, is an upgrade or a downgrade and is subject to the Cancellation, Upgrades, and Downgrades section.

Blikket LLC may agree a temporary reduction in the Client’s fee, allowance, or scope for a stated period. A temporary reduction is an accommodation and is not a downgrade. It does not vary the retainer, does not restart or extend any notice period, and does not change the fee, allowance, or scope that resume at the end of the stated period. Where the Client wishes the reduction to continue beyond the stated period, that is a downgrade and the notice requirements in the Cancellation, Upgrades, and Downgrades section apply.

Allowances

Where the Client’s quote states an allowance, that allowance applies. Where the quote names a level without stating an allowance, the allowance for that level in the tables above applies.

Where the quote states a monthly fee and a defined scope of recurring services without an hour cap or campaign volume, the retainer covers the services described and no quantity of hours or deliverables is guaranteed. Blikket LLC determines the resourcing, sequencing, and hours applied to those services at its discretion. Services outside the stated scope are additional services and are billed at the standard hourly rate set out in the Additional Services section.

The retainer fee secures service availability within the billing period rather than a guaranteed quantity of output. Unused hours and unused deliverables are governed by the Non-Transferability of Retainer Hours and Deliverables section.

Where a retainer has no stated hour cap, Blikket LLC may set one by giving written notice before the start of a billing cycle. The cap takes effect from that cycle and the fee is unchanged.

Billing Cycle and Changes

The billing cycle for each retainer is stated on the Client’s invoice. All references in this agreement to the start of a billing cycle mean the start of the Client’s stated cycle, not the start of a calendar month.

A change to the Client’s fee, allowance, scope, or level, in either direction, is an upgrade or a downgrade and is subject to the Cancellation, Upgrades, and Downgrades section.

Monthly Subscription Payments

Monthly fees are to be paid in advance, with a grace period of five days after the due date. Delays should be communicated in advance to explore alternative arrangements. Non-payment may lead to service suspension and further actions for payment recovery.

Non-Transferability of Retainer Hours and Deliverables

Any hours or deliverables included within a monthly retainer that are not used within the billing month will not roll over to the following month. Unused hours and unused deliverables are non-refundable and cannot be credited, banked, or applied toward future services. The Client acknowledges that the retainer fee guarantees service availability within the agreed billing period, regardless of the hours or deliverables actually used.

Cancellation, Upgrades, and Downgrades

This section applies to every monthly retainer, service plan, and subscription service provided by Blikket LLC, regardless of level, name, hour or deliverable allowance, or price. This includes every published level, every custom retainer, and any recurring monthly arrangement described by a superseded name or by no name at all. Where a separate written agreement between Blikket LLC and the Client expressly sets out different notice terms, that agreement controls for those terms only, and the remainder of this section continues to apply.

Minimum Commitment

All retainer agreements require a minimum commitment of three (3) months, running from the start of the first billing cycle for which the Client is invoiced. During this initial period the Client may not terminate, downgrade, or pause the agreement.

Cancellation

After the initial commitment period, the Client may terminate the retainer by providing written notice at least three (3) months (90 days) in advance. This notice must be submitted before the start of the billing cycle from which the 90-day period will begin. The Client remains responsible for all payments during the notice period. Any commenced work is deemed non-refundable upon cancellation.

Blikket LLC reserves the right to cancel services at any time at its sole discretion. Where prepayments have been made and work has not commenced, Blikket LLC will issue a refund. Any unused hours or deliverables within the current billing month remain available to the Client but will not carry over to the following month. Blikket LLC retains the right to determine the final reconciliation of any remaining balance, either by processing a prorated refund or directing the utilization of the remaining allowance.

Where Blikket LLC closes an account due to the Client’s non-payment, the closing-invoice terms in the Payment Terms section apply, and the refund provisions in this section do not.

Upgrades

The Client may request an upgrade at any time, including a move to a higher retainer level, an increase in included hours or deliverables, or the addition of services or workstreams. Upgrades are subject to availability. Blikket LLC will confirm in writing whether capacity exists and the date the upgrade takes effect. Blikket LLC is under no obligation to accept an upgrade request or to reserve capacity for future requests.

An upgrade takes effect at the start of the next billing cycle unless Blikket LLC confirms an earlier date in writing. Fees for a partial month are prorated. The incremental increase carries its own three (3) month minimum commitment. After that period, any reduction of the increase is treated as a downgrade.

Downgrades

A downgrade is any request by the Client to reduce the monthly retainer fee, move to a lower retainer level, reduce the number of included hours or deliverables, or remove one or more services or workstreams from the scope. A downgrade is treated as a partial cancellation and is subject to the same notice requirements as a cancellation.

After the initial commitment period, a downgrade requires written notice at least three (3) months (90 days) in advance. Notice must be submitted before the start of the billing cycle from which the 90-day period will begin. The Client remains responsible for the full retainer fee in effect at the time notice is given for the entire notice period. Any reduced fee takes effect only in the first full billing cycle after the notice period ends.

A reduction the Client puts into effect in practice, without written notice, does not reduce the fee owed. This includes withholding work, restricting scope, or instructing Blikket LLC to limit activity in a given month.

Work already commenced on any reduced or removed service is non-refundable. Unused hours and deliverables in the current billing month remain available to the Client but do not carry over.

Pauses and Suspensions

There is no automatic right to pause. Where the Client stops or suspends services, in whole or in part, without a written accommodation from Blikket LLC under the terms below, this is treated as a downgrade or a cancellation and is subject to the notice requirements in this section.

Blikket LLC may grant a pause as a one-time accommodation at its sole discretion. Where it does, the following apply:

1. The pause is an accommodation. It does not vary or terminate the agreement.
2. All terms of the agreement, including the notice provisions in this section, are suspended for the duration of the pause and resume unchanged on the resumption date confirmed in writing.
3. Confidentiality, non-solicitation, dispute resolution, and all other protective provisions remain in force throughout the pause.
4. No hours or deliverables accrue, bank, or carry over during the pause.
5. Settlement in full of all outstanding invoices is a precondition of the pause taking effect.
6. On the resumption date the agreement becomes active again and billing resumes automatically, whether or not the Client has confirmed resumption. Where the Client then wishes to cancel or downgrade, the notice requirements in this section apply from the date written notice is given.
7. Any work Blikket LLC carries out during the pause is completion of scope already invoiced and paid. It does not create a credit, an entitlement to further unbilled work, or a waiver of any term.

Where the Client resumes a paused service or restores a downgraded service, the restored portion is treated as an upgrade and is subject to availability.

Client Revisions

While Blikket values client input during the design process, significant changes beyond the agreement’s scope may result in additional charges. The agreement does not cover extensive modifications requested post-service delivery.

Contract Revisions

Blikket LLC may amend, revise, or modify the terms of this agreement at its discretion.

Google Search Console, Analytics, Ads, Facebook/Meta Ads, TikTok Ads Terms

Payment & Responsibilities:

Clients engaging Google AdWords and/or Facebook Advertising Services agree to directly pay Google and Facebook for Pay-Per-Click ad campaigns managed by the Service Provider. The Service Provider facilitates campaign setup and management but does not cover any fees, penalties, or budget delays with Google or Facebook.

Campaign Design & Success:

Clients provide keywords and campaign details for Google AdWords and Facebook Advertising, with approval required before implementation to avoid additional costs for design changes. While the Service Provider strives for successful campaigns, factors beyond its control may impact the outcome, leading the Client to indemnify the Service Provider for any potential failures.

Refund Policy & Payment:

No refunds are offered for Google AdWords PPC, Google Analytics, Facebook Advertising, or related services, including glitches or policy violations on the Client’s website that may affect ad performance. Clients are responsible for compliance with Google and Facebook policies and any premium service payments directly to Google and Facebook.

Analytics & Web Improvements:

The Service Provider sets up Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools accounts but is not responsible for installing the Analytics code; additional fees apply for this service. While the Service Provider offers tracking and monitoring services, improvements to website or ad performance are the client’s responsibility, with extra charges applicable for redesign or enhancement requests beyond monitoring and reporting services. 

SEO Definitions, Guarantee & Refund

SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, involves optimizing website content to improve rankings on search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Clients provide keywords or phrases related to their products/services, aiming for competitive rankings rather than specific guarantees for exact keyword placements.

SEO Guarantee:

The Service Provider’s SEO efforts focus on optimizing websites ethically and using legitimate methods for improved rankings. Guaranteeing first-page or top-five results depends on various factors like niche competition, domain age, and technical considerations, aiming for competitive rankings and traffic in the long term.

SEO Commitment & Performance Refunds:

SEO engagements require a minimum commitment of six (6) months in place of the three (3) month minimum set out in the Cancellation, Upgrades, and Downgrades section, because organic optimization takes time to produce results. All other terms of that section apply in full, including the three (3) month notice period for cancellation and downgrades, and the treatment of pauses and suspensions. An SEO engagement does not convert to a month-to-month arrangement at any point.

Fees are non-refundable before the end of the six (6) month minimum commitment. After that period the only refund available under the SEO service is the performance refund set out below.

Blikket LLC may consider a performance refund where the Client’s website is not found within the first five pages of major search engines. Indexing and ranking depend on technical factors and on the Client’s maintenance of optimized content. The Client is responsible for preserving optimized content during website updates, and re-installation charges apply where optimized content is removed or overwritten. Positioning in local map results, including Google, Yahoo, and Bing local maps, is not guaranteed under the SEO service, which covers website optimization and keyword rankings.

Planning and Quoting Terms Summary

Plan and Quote Acceptance:

Upon agreeing to the terms and conditions, clients accept the plan and quote provided for their project, delivered via email. Plans and quotes remain valid for thirty days from the submission date.

Truthful Information Requirement:

The validity of the plan and quote is contingent on the accuracy of the information provided by the client. Any changes in circumstances or project requirements may necessitate an adjustment to the plan and quote accordingly. 

Changes and Amendments After Completion

Clients receive watermarked project drafts post-production and have five working days to request editorial changes. Amendments affecting the original brief may incur additional charges. Requests made after the five-day window might also result in extra fees.

Late Payments

• Invoice credit terms are stated on each invoice, requiring payment within the specified period. Late payments incur a charge of 8% of the outstanding amount per month, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, accruing from the due date until paid.
• When sending payments by cheque, clients must consider delivery and processing times to avoid late payment charges before the credit term expires.

Confidentiality

Blikket LLC and the client acknowledge the sensitive nature of the information exchanged during the course of the retainer services. Both parties agree to maintain strict confidentiality regarding any proprietary or confidential information disclosed during the engagement.

This confidentiality obligation extends to not disclosing or sharing any confidential data, strategies, business plans, financial information, or any other proprietary details belonging to either party. Both Blikket LLC and the client are committed to safeguarding this information from unauthorized disclosure or use.

This confidentiality clause remains in effect during the retainer agreement and continues beyond its termination. Both parties ensure that all employees, agents, or subcontractors involved in the retainer services understand and abide by this confidentiality commitment to protect the privacy and interests of both Blikket LLC and the client. 

Liability for Blikket LLC Services

When legally permissible, Blikket LLC, along with its suppliers, vendors, partners, associates, staff, officers, and distributors, shall not be liable for lost profits, revenues, data, financial losses, or indirect, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages.

To the extent allowed by law, the collective liability of Blikket LLC and its suppliers, vendors, partners, associates, staff, officers, and distributors for any claims under these terms, even those pertaining to implied warranties, is capped at the amount the Client paid for the Services (or the option to provide the Services afresh).

Blikket LLC and its affiliates are not liable for any loss or damage that is not reasonably foreseeable under the law.

Acknowledging diverse consumer rights globally, Blikket LLC ensures that personal use of the Services does not diminish any inherent consumer legal entitlements that cannot be waived through contractual obligations.

Occasionally, our website may include links to external websites for informational purposes. These links serve to supplement information and do not signify our endorsement of the linked websites. Blikket LLC disclaims any responsibility for the content found on these linked websites. 

Dispute Resolution

In the event of any disputes or disagreements arising from services provided by Blikket LLC, both parties agree to first seek resolution through informal discussions and negotiations.

If informal resolution attempts prove unsuccessful, the parties agree to pursue mediation as the next step. Mediation will be conducted by a mutually agreed-upon neutral third-party mediator. The mediator will facilitate discussions to help reach a mutually agreeable resolution.

Should mediation not lead to a resolution, both parties agree to proceed to binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, seated in Los Angeles County, California, and governed by the laws of the State of California. Each party bears its own costs and the parties share the arbitrator’s fees equally, save that the arbitrator may award costs to the prevailing party. The arbitral decision is final and binding on both parties.

By agreeing to this clause, both parties commit to making good faith efforts to resolve disputes efficiently and cost-effectively through mediation and arbitration before resorting to litigation.

Nothing in this section prevents Blikket LLC from pursuing a claim for unpaid fees through the courts or through a collection agency, or from applying to any court for injunctive relief, without first exhausting informal negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. 

Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by an event outside its reasonable control, including natural disaster, fire, flood, epidemic, war, civil unrest, act of terrorism, government action, labor dispute, failure of utilities or telecommunications, outage or discontinuation of a third-party platform or service, and unavailability of a subcontractor where a replacement cannot reasonably be obtained.

Performance is suspended for the duration of the event. The affected party will notify the other in writing as soon as practicable and will resume performance as soon as the event permits. Where an event prevents Blikket LLC from performing for more than thirty (30) consecutive days, either party may terminate the affected services on written notice, and the notice period in the Cancellation, Upgrades, and Downgrades section does not apply to that termination.

This section does not excuse the Client from any obligation to pay amounts due for services already performed, and does not suspend or extend any payment deadline.

Assignment

The Client may not assign or transfer this agreement, or any right or obligation under it, without the prior written consent of Blikket LLC. A merger, acquisition, sale of substantially all assets, or change of control of the Client is an assignment for the purposes of this section. Where the Client undergoes any such change, this agreement continues on its existing terms, including the minimum commitment and the notice period, unless Blikket LLC agrees otherwise in writing.

Blikket LLC may assign or transfer this agreement, in whole or in part, to an affiliate or to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or part of its business, without the Client’s consent. Blikket LLC may engage subcontractors as set out in the Third-Party Modifications and Assignments section.

Credentials and Client Materials on Termination

Blikket LLC holds account credentials and access permissions for the purpose of delivering the Services. On termination, and subject to payment in full of all amounts due, Blikket LLC will transfer or surrender the credentials and administrative access it holds for accounts owned by the Client, and will remove its own team’s access to those accounts.

Blikket LLC will retain the Client’s files, deliverables, and working materials for thirty (30) days after termination. During that period the Client may request a copy of the final deliverables for which payment has been made in full. After thirty (30) days Blikket LLC may delete the Client’s files, materials, and account data without further notice, and is under no obligation to retain or reproduce them.

Working files, source files, project management records, and internal documentation remain the property of Blikket LLC unless the Client’s quote expressly provides otherwise. Blikket LLC may retain copies of any materials as required for its records, for legal or regulatory purposes, or to defend a claim.

Non-Solicitation

During the agreement’s term and for twelve (12) months after its termination, Blikket LLC and the Client agree not to directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to hire, employ, contract, or engage the other party’s employees, contractors, or clients for any related services or projects without prior written consent.

This non-solicitation clause aims to protect the business relationships, intellectual property, and workforce integrity of Blikket LLC and the client, ensuring neither party undermines the contractual commitments and professional engagements established through the agreement. 

Severability

If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remainder of the agreement shall remain valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. The parties agree to replace the invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that most closely aligns with the original intent of the agreement. 

No Waiver

No failure or delay by Blikket LLC in exercising any right under this agreement operates as a waiver of that right. No single or partial exercise of a right prevents its further exercise. A waiver is effective only where Blikket LLC states it expressly and in writing, and applies only to the specific instance and purpose stated. Any accommodation, forbearance, or course of dealing, including a decision not to bill for work above an allowance, not to enforce a payment deadline, or to grant a pause or reduced fee, does not vary this agreement and does not waive any right in respect of any other instance.

Insolvency

Blikket LLC may suspend or terminate services immediately, without notice and without the notice period in the Cancellation, Upgrades, and Downgrades section, where the Client becomes insolvent, files or has filed against it a petition in bankruptcy, appoints a receiver or administrator, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or ceases to carry on business. Amounts accrued to the date of suspension or termination remain due.

Notices

Notice under this agreement, including notice of cancellation, downgrade, or pause, must be in writing and sent by email to [email protected], or to another address Blikket LLC designates in writing. Notice is effective on receipt. Notice given to any other address, or to any individual member of the Blikket LLC team, is not effective notice under this agreement. Notice from Blikket LLC to the Client is effective when sent to the email address stated on the Client’s most recent invoice.

Governing Law

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Survival

Termination does not affect any accrued rights or obligations. The provisions on payment, ownership and unpaid work, confidentiality, non-solicitation, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and governing law survive termination.

Client Responsibilities

The client agrees to provide timely feedback, approvals, and necessary materials, including but not limited to branding assets, content, and relevant information essential for the successful execution of marketing campaigns. The client is responsible for adhering to agreed-upon timelines, promptly addressing queries, and participating actively in key project milestones.

Data Protection and Privacy

Blikket LLC acknowledges the importance of data protection and privacy. Both parties commit to adhering to data protection laws and regulations, ensuring the confidential handling of sensitive information. Measures will be taken to secure and safeguard client data provided during project engagement, with data handling practices aligned with industry standards to maintain privacy and confidentiality.

Additional Fees and Expenses

Any fees related to licenses for specific software, stock photos, or other third-party services required for project execution will be the responsibility of the client. Clients will be notified in advance of any additional expenses and have the option to approve or decline these costs before they are incurred. Blikket LLC will provide transparent communication regarding any potential fees or expenses to be borne by the client, ensuring clarity and mutual understanding throughout the engagement.
