- Your slynk.io Account. If you create an account on slynk.io, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with the account and services. You must immediately notify Slynk of any unauthorised uses of your services, your account, or any other breaches of security. Slynk will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.
- Responsibility of Contributors. If you create templates, comment on a post, post material to slynk.io or app.slynk.io, post links on slynk.io or app.slynk.io, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available (any such material, “Content”), you are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content or your conduct. That is the case regardless of what form the Content takes, which includes, but is not limited to text, photo, video, audio, or code. By using slynk.io or app.slynk.io, you represent and warrant that your Content and conduct do not violate these Terms. By submitting Content to Slynk for inclusion on your templates or services, you grant Slynk a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing, and promoting your blog. This license allows Slynk to make publicly-posted content available to third parties selected by Slynk so that these third parties can analyse and distribute (but not publicly display) your content through their services. If you delete Content, Slynk will use reasonable efforts to remove it from Slynk.io, but you acknowledge that caching or references to the Content may not be made immediately unavailable. Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, Slynk has the right (though not the obligation) to, in Slynk's sole discretion, (i) reclaim your username or website’s URL due to prolonged inactivity, (ii) refuse or remove any content that, in Slynk’s reasonable opinion, violates any Slynk policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable, or (iii) terminate or deny access to and use of Slynk to any individual or entity for any reason. Slynk will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid.
- Web Traffic. We use a third party, Google Analytics.
- Advertisements. Slynk reserves the right to display advertisements on the Slynk Website and Slynk App unless you have purchased an Ad-free Upgrade or a VIP Service account.
- Payment and Renewal.
- General Terms. Optional paid services such as eposnow order templates are available (any such services, an “Upgrade”). By selecting an Upgrade you agree to pay Slynk the monthly or annual subscription fees indicated for that service. Payments will be charged on a pre-pay basis on the day you sign up for an Upgrade and will cover the use of that service for a monthly or annual subscription period as indicated.
- Automatic Renewal. Unless you notify Slynk before the end of the applicable subscription period that you want to cancel an Upgrade, your Upgrade subscription will automatically renew and you authorise us to collect the then-applicable annual or monthly subscription fee for such Upgrade (as well as any taxes) using any credit card or other payment mechanism we have on record for you. Upgrades can be cancelled at any time in the Upgrades section of your website’s dashboard.
2. Responsibility of Visitors.
Slynk has not reviewed, and cannot review, all of the material, including computer software, posted to our Services, and cannot therefore be responsible for that material’s content, use or effects. By operating our Services, Slynk does not represent or imply that it endorses the material there posted, or that it believes such material to be accurate, useful, or non-harmful. You are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content. Our Services may contain content that is offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable, as well as content containing technical inaccuracies, typographical mistakes, and other errors. Our Services may also contain material that violates the privacy or publicity rights, or infringes the intellectual property and other proprietary rights, of third parties, or the downloading, copying or use of which is subject to additional terms and conditions, stated or unstated. Slynk disclaims any responsibility for any harm resulting from the use by visitors of our Services, or from any downloading by those visitors of content there posted.
3. Content Posted on Other Websites.
We have not reviewed, and cannot review, all of the material, including computer software, made available through the websites and webpages to which Slynk links, and that link to Slynk. Slynk does not have any control over those non-Slynk websites, and is not responsible for their contents or their use. By linking to a non-Slynk website, Slynk does not represent or imply that it endorses such website. You are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content. Slynk disclaims any responsibility for any harm resulting from your use of non-Slynk websites and webpages.
4. Copyright Infringement and DMCA Policy.
As Slynk asks others to respect its intellectual property rights, it respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that material located on or linked to by Slynk violates your copyright, you are encouraged to notify Slynk via help@slynk.io. Slynk will respond to all such notices, including as required or appropriate by removing the infringing material or disabling all links to the infringing material. Slynk will terminate a visitor’s access to and use of the website if, under appropriate circumstances, the visitor is determined to be a repeat infringer of the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of Slynk or others. In the case of such termination, Slynk will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid to Slynk.
5. Intellectual Property.
This Agreement does not transfer from Slynk to you any Slynk or third party intellectual property, and all right, title, and interest in and to such property will remain (as between the parties) solely with Slynk.

If we make changes that are material, we will let you know by posting on one of our blogs, or by sending you an email or other communication before the changes take effect. The notice will designate a reasonable period of time after which the new terms will take effect. If you disagree with our changes, then you should stop using our Services within the designated notice period. Your continued use of our Services will be subject to the new terms. However, any dispute that arose before the changes shall be governed by the Terms (including the binding individual arbitration clause) that were in place when the dispute arose.
