Blip respects the privacy of its users. Everyone always says these things in these documents, but we really mean it.
Blip will not share personally identifiable information about you with any third-party except as required by law, or as is necessary to fulfill its obligations under these Terms (i.e. to facilitate advertising revenue share payment).
Blip's service includes a demographic data collection system. As part of this system Blip may ask you questions about yourself (like your age, interests or zip code). Your answers to these questions may be stored on your computer and transmitted to Blip from time to time. Blip will never store this information on its servers in a way that can be related to you or your identity. Instead, the information will only be stored and operated on in an aggregate way. That said, Blip may transmit some of your answers to its advertising partners at the time advertisements are served to you. We do this in order to deliver the most relevant advertisements possible.
In addition to specific questions we may ask you, we will also record information about your use of the site that may include your IP (Internet Protocol) address and the pages and videos you have visited. This information may be shared with other users and our partners in an aggregate form that is designed to not be individually identifiable.
As a condition of your use of the Blip site, you warrant that you will not use the services offered on the site for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these terms, conditions, and notices. You may not use the Blip site in any manner which could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Blip site or interfere with any other parties use and enjoyment of the Blip site. You may not obtain or attempt to obtain any materials or information including, but not limited to, software and other Blip proprietary materials, through any means not intentionally made available or provided for through the Blip site.
Blip has no obligation to monitor the content which has been uploaded to the Web site for compliance with the foregoing. However, Blip reserves the right to review materials uploaded to Blip and to remove any materials in its sole discretion for any reason or no reason, at any time, with or without notice to you. Blip reserves the right to terminate your access to any or all of the services offered by Blip at any time without notice for any reason whatsoever.
Blip does not control or endorse the content, messages or information found in any uploaded episodes and, therefore, Blip specifically disclaims any liability with regard to such uploaded content, and any actions resulting from such uploaded material.
You agree to use the services provided by Blip only for their intended, lawful purposes and in accordance with all applicable laws. You agree not to use Blip in any manner that interferes with its normal operation or with any other users use and enjoyment thereof. You further agree that you will not access, or cause others to access, Blip through an interface or in a manner that would interfere with the monetization of Blip-hosted content or the honoring of copyright licenses attached to Blip-hosted content. You also agree that you will not access Blip from any territory where its contents are illegal.
Blip does not endorse any episodes uploaded to the platform or any opinion, recommendation or advice expressed therein, and Blip expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with uploaded content. If notified by a user or a third party of uploaded material that allegedly does not conform to these Terms of Use, Blip may investigate the allegation and determine in good faith and in its sole discretion whether to remove the content.
Blip may contain links to other websites (Linked Sites). The Linked Sites are not under the control of Blip, and Blip is not responsible for the contents of any Linked Site, including without limitation, any link contained in a Linked Site, or any changes or updates to a Linked Site. Blip is not responsible for webcasting or any other form of transmission received from any Linked Site. Blip is providing these links to you only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by Blip or any association with its operators.
If you decide to visit any Linked Site, you do so at your own risk and it is your responsibility to take all protective measures to guard against viruses or other destructive elements. Blip does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products, services or information on, or available from, third party websites or material. Blip is not responsible for any damage, loss or offense caused by, or in connection with, any content, advertising, products, services or information available on such websites or material. Any terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings are solely between you and the relevant provider of the service. Blip does not claim any legal authorization to use any trademark, trade name, logo or copyright symbol displayed in or accessible through a Linked Site.
Blip disclaims all liability for any legal or other consequences (including claims for infringement of third party rights) of links made to this site on websites not affiliated with Blip.
Blip is designed to be technically compatible with the universe of third-party aggregation software to the greatest extent possible, and we are committed to building an open platform. Unless otherwise stated, however, you may not distribute, transmit, broadcast, commercially exploit or modify in any way material or content or permit or assist any third party in doing the same. You may not aggregate, embed or "deep-link" content on Blip from your own Web site, service or platform for commercial purposes in a systematic way without the prior written consent of Blip. You must at all times respect the copyright licenses attached to Blip content (i.e. Creative Commons licenses) while aggregating, embedding or deep-linking Blip content.
Blip offers its users the ability to purchase "professional accounts" that confer on the bearer additional and advanced functionality for a fee. Blip may, at its discretion, cancel a user's professional account or underlying account for any reason, including violation of these Terms of Use. Under such circumstances Blip will refund to the account holder a pro-rated portion of their paid professional account fees, rounded to the nearest unused whole month.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL BLIP AND/OR ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR AFFILIATES, BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE BLIP WEBSITE, WITH THE DELAY OR INABILITY TO USE THE BLIP WEBSITE OR RELATED SERVICES, THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SERVICES, OR FOR ANY INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND RELATED GRAPHICS OBTAINED THROUGH THE BLIP WEBSITE, OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THE BLIP WEBSITE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF BLIP OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES.
Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. If you are dissatisfied with any portion of the Blip website, or with any of these Terms of Use, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Blip website and services provided therein.
These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Disputes arising from these Terms of Use or your use of the Blip website shall be exclusively subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of New York. Any cause of action you may have with respect to your use of this site must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises.
Blip makes no representation that materials on this site are appropriate or available for use at other locations outside of the United States and access to them from territories where their contents are illegal is strictly prohibited. If you access this site from a location outside of the United States, you are responsible for compliance with all local laws.
If any of these Terms of Use or any other policies posted by Blip management on the Blip website should be determined to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by reason of the law of any state or country in which these Terms of Use are intended to be effective, then to the extent permissible, such Term of Use or policy, or portion thereof, shall be severed and deleted from the remaining terms, conditions and policies, and the remaining terms, conditions and policies shall survive and continue to be binding and enforceable. The failure of Blip to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these terms and conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
The section headings contained in these Terms of Use are included for convenience only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect these terms and conditions.
