Terms of Service
Last Updated: November 8, 2022
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) set forth the terms and conditions that govern access to, and use of, BlinkSky’s website and third-party websites made available by BlinkSky, Inc. (“BlinkSky”, “we,” or “us”) that enable a user to purchase, send or manage eGift Cards, redeem or receive the other services from BlinkSky as described herein (collectively, the “Services”). These Terms are a legal agreement between you (“you,” or “your”) and BlinkSky. By clicking to “Accept” these Terms where this option is made available to you and/or by using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. These Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with any other party for products, services or otherwise.
BlinkSky reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion. If BlinkSky makes changes to these Terms, we will provide notice of such changes, by providing notice through the Services, by e-mail and/or by updating these Terms (as indicated by the “Last Updated” date found at the top of these Terms) on the BlinkSky website found at
https://blinksky.com/legal/tos/. You agree to receive notifications through these means and your continued use of the Services will indicate your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to any amended Terms, you must stop using the Services.
1. Privacy Policy
Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use and disclose information about our users.
2. Additional Terms
If you purchase eGift Cards from BlinkSky, our Terms of Sale will apply. These Terms of Sale are subject to change at any time and in our sole discretion, so you should review the Terms of Sale each time you make a purchase.
3. Eligibility, Registration and Account
Our Services are intended solely for users who are 13 years of age or older. If you are under the age of 13, then you are not permitted to register for an account with BlinkSky. In addition, if you are between the ages of 13 and 18 (or the age of legal majority under applicable law), you may only use the Services under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who registers for an account with BlinkSky and thereby agrees to be bound by these Terms. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are 13 years of age or older.
In order to use the Services, you will be required to register with BlinkSky. You may only register for one account and you agree to: (i) provide accurate, current and complete information; (ii) maintain and promptly update your account information to keep it accurate, current and complete; (iii) maintain the security of your account and accept all risks of unauthorized access to your account; and (iv) promptly notify BlinkSky if you discover or otherwise suspect that your account has been subject to hacking or other unauthorized use.
4. BlinkSky Services Description
You may save information about eGift Cards you own to electronically manage those eGift Cards. For example, depending on the features made available by the issuer of the eGift Card, after saving information about your eGift Card, you may redeem or re-gift the eGift Card solely within the United States pursuant to the terms and conditions of the issuer of the eGift Card, view eGift Card details (e.g. check your eGift Card balance) to the extent the issuer of the eGift Card makes such details available to BlinkSky, or visit the website of the issuer of the eGift Card.
Buy a eGift Card. You may buy a eGift Card for yourself. The Terms of Sale will apply to the purchase of such eGift Cards and you agree to comply with such Terms of Sale.
Send a eGift Card. You may buy a eGift Card to send to a friend. The Terms of Sale will apply to the purchase of such eGift Card and you agree to comply with such Terms of Sale. BlinkSky will use reasonable efforts to notify the recipient of the eGift Card you send in accordance with BlinkSky’s digital delivery methods.
5. Intellectual Property and Limited License
Unless otherwise indicated by BlinkSky, the Services and all content and other materials therein, including, without limitation, the BlinkSky logo, the Terms of Sale and all other designs, text, graphics, pictures, information, data, software, sound files, other files made available within the Services and the selection and arrangement thereof, and any documentation or other ancillary material provided to you by or behalf of BlinkSky (collectively, “BlinkSky Content”) are the proprietary property of BlinkSky or our licensors or users and are protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws.
BlinkSky hereby grants you a limited, nonexclusive,
non-sublicensable license to access and use the Services and BlinkSky Content solely for the purpose of purchasing, sending or managing eGift Cards or receiving other services under these Terms; however, such license is subject to these Terms and you are not permitted to (a) sell, rent, lease, lend, redistribute, sublicense or make commercial use of the Services or the BlinkSky Content; (b) copy, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or attempt to discover the source code of our Services or BlinkSky Content; (c) modify, alter or otherwise make any derivative uses of the Services or the BlinkSky Content, or any portion thereof; (d) remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights notice included in the Services or BlinkSky Content; (e) use any data mining, robots or similar data gathering or extraction methods; (f) download (other than the page caching) any portion of the Services or the BlinkSky Content, except as expressly permitted via the Services; and (g) use the Services or the BlinkSky Content other than for their intended purposes. Any use of the Services or the BlinkSky Content other than as specifically authorized herein, without the prior written permission of BlinkSky, is strictly prohibited and will terminate the license granted in this Section 5. Such unauthorized use may also violate applicable laws, including without limitation, copyright and trademark laws and applicable communications regulations and statutes. Unless explicitly stated by BlinkSky, nothing in these Terms shall be construed as conferring any license to intellectual property rights, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise. This license is revocable at any time.
6. Trademarks
“BlinkSky” and the BlinkSky logo and any other BlinkSky product or service names, logos or slogans are BlinkSky’s trademarks in the United States and in other countries, and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without the prior written permission of BlinkSky. All other trademarks, registered trademarks, product names and company names or logos mentioned in the Services are the property of their respective owners and may not be used without permission of the applicable trademark holder. Reference to any products, services, processes or other information, by name, trademark, manufacturer, supplier or otherwise does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship or recommendation by BlinkSky.
7. Repeat Infringer Policy; Copyright Complaints
In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and other applicable laws, BlinkSky has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at BlinkSky’s sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. BlinkSky may also, in our sole discretion, limit access to the Services and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement. If you believe that anything on the Services infringes upon any copyright which you own or control, you may file a notification of such infringement with our Designated Agent as set forth below: Attn: R. Schwartz Address: 12600 Deerfield Pkwy., Suite 100, Alpharetta, GA 30004. Phone: 888-983-0642 Email: legal@BlinkSky.com
Please see 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) for the requirements of a proper notification. If you knowingly misrepresent in your notification that the material or activity is infringing, you will be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by us or the alleged infringer as the result of our relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing.
8. Third-Party Services; Third-Party Materials
BlinkSky may provide links to third-party websites, apps, mobile services or other third-party services (“Third-Party Services”) and may also display, link to or otherwise make available third-party content, data, information, events, apps or materials (“Third-Party Materials”) on the Services. BlinkSky does not endorse or control, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind, regarding any Third-Party Services or Third-Party Materials including, but not limited to, the content, accuracy, quality, nature, appropriateness, decency, functionality, performance, reliability, completeness, timeliness, validity, safety, legality or any other aspect thereof.

You should review the applicable terms and policies including, but not limited to, privacy and data gathering practices, of any Third-Party Service to which you navigate from the Services. For the avoidance of doubt the terms and policies for Third-Party Services are solely between you and the Third-Party Services provider and not BlinkSky.
