Welcome to Blkem website – www.blkem.com. These terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) apply to the Site, and all of its divisions, subsidiaries, and affiliate operated Internet sites, which reference these Terms and Conditions.

We’ve drafted these Terms of Service (which we call the “Terms”), so you’ll know the rules that govern our relationship with you as a user of our Services. Although we have tried our best to strip the legalese from the Terms, there are places where they may still read like a traditional contract. There’s a good reason for that: these Terms form a legally binding contract between you and Blkem. (“Blkem”). So please read them carefully.

You are responsible for your use of the Services, for any Content you post to the Services, and for any consequences thereof. Most Content you submit, post, or display through the Blkem Services is public by default and will be able to be viewed by other users and through third party services and websites.

Who can use the services

- No one under 16 (or, if greater than 16, the minimum age at which a person may use the Services in your country) is allowed to create an account or use the Services. If you are under 18 (or the legal age of majority in your country), you may only use the Services with the prior consent of your parent or legal guardian. Please be sure your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and discussed these Terms with you before you start using the Services. We may offer additional Services with additional terms that may require you to be even older to use them. So please read all terms carefully. By using the Services, you represent, warrant, and state that

- You are forming a binding contract with Blkem;

- You are not a person who is barred from using the Services under the laws of the United States, the United Kingdom, or any other applicable jurisdiction—including, for example, that you do not appear on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or face any other similar prohibition;

- You are not a convicted sex offender; and

- You will comply with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national and international laws, rules and regulations.

- You are not a member or have been a member of any extremist or terrorist group.

Passwords

You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Services and for any activities or actions under your password. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols) with your account. Blkem cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above. If you are using the Services on behalf of a business or some other entity, you state that you are authorized to bind that business or entity to these Terms and you agree to these Terms on behalf of that business or entity (and all references to “you” and “your” in these Terms will mean both you as the end user and that business or entity).

Rights we grant you

As between you and us, Blkem (and its licensors) is the owner of the Services, including all proprietary content, information, material, software, images, text, graphics (including any bitmoji avatars that you may assemble using visual elements we provide), illustrations, logos, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, photographs, audio, video, music and “look and feel” of the Services and all related intellectual property rights. Blkem grants you a worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, non-exclusive, revocable and non-sublicensable licence to use the Services. This licence is for the sole purpose of using and enjoying the Services in a way that these Terms and our policies, such as our Community Guidelines and Sounds on Blkem Guidelines, allow. You may not use the Services in ways that are not authorised by these Terms. Nor may you help anyone else in doing so.

Blkem Rights

Many of our Services let you create, upload, post, send, receive and store content. When you do that, you retain whatever ownership rights to that content you had to begin with. But, you grant us a licence to use that content. How broad that licence is dependent on which Services you use and the settings you have selected. All right, title, and interest in and to the Services (excluding Content provided by users) are and will remain the exclusive property of Blkem and its licensors. The Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of both the United States and foreign countries. Nothing in the Terms gives you a right to use the Blkem name or any of the Blkem trademarks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features. Any feedback, comments, or suggestions you may provide regarding Blkem, or the Services is entirely voluntary and we will be free to use such feedback, comments or suggestions as we see fit and without any obligation to you.

Account

In order to open an account, you will be asked to provide us with certain information such as an account username, email and password.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, for restricting access to your computer, and for all activities that occur under your account or password. Please make sure the information you provide to Blkem upon registration and at all other times is true, accurate, current, and complete to the best of your knowledge. We may permit you to register for and log on to the Services via certain third party services. The third party’s collection, use and disclosure of your information will be subject to that third party service’s privacy policy. Further information about how Blkem collects, uses and discloses your personal information when you link your Blkem account and with your account on any third party service can be found in our Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to disable your user account at any time, including if you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these terms, or if activities occur on your account which, in our sole discretion, would or might cause damage to or impair the Services or infringe or violate any third party rights, or violate any applicable laws or regulations. If you no longer want to use our Services again, and would like your account deleted, you can delete your account via your profile settings, or we can take care of this for you. Please contact us via [email protected] and we will provide you with further assistance and guide you through the process. Once you choose to delete your account, you will not be able to reactivate your account or retrieve any of the content or information you have added.

Intellectual Property Rights

All text, data, images, graphics, audio and/or video information and other materials within the Services provided by Blkem are property of Blkem are protected by copyright, trademark and/or other property rights laws. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring any license of any intellectual property rights or such materials by Blkem to you.

By using and/or uploading any live stream content or other content through a Blkem Services to publicly accessible areas of Blkem website, you grant to Blkem and its sub-licensees the permission, free, permanent, irrevocable, non-exclusive and fully sub-licensable rights and license, without any territorial or time limitations and without requiring any approvals and/or compensations, to use, copy, modify, adapt, publish, translate, edit, dispose, create derivate works of, distribute, perform and publicly display such content (in whole or in part), and/or incorporate such content into existing or future forms of work, media or technology.

Any information that you or other users provide to Blkem is subject to our Privacy Policy, which governs our collection and use of your information. You understand that through your use of the Services you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Policy) of this information. As part of providing you the Services, we may need to provide you with certain communications, such as service announcements and administrative messages. These communications are considered part of the Services and your account, which you may not be able to opt¬out from receiving.

Blkem Content

All Content, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility of the person who originated such Content. We may not monitor or control the Content posted via the Services and, we cannot take responsibility for such Content. Any use or reliance on any Content or materials posted via the Services or obtained by you through the Services is at your own risk. We do not endorse, support, represent or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any Content or communications posted via the Services or endorse any opinions expressed via the Services.

Under no circumstances will Blkem be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available via the Services or broadcast elsewhere.

Safety

We try hard to keep our Services a safe place for all users. But we can’t guarantee it. That’s where you come in. By using the Services, you agree that you will at all times comply with these Terms, including our Community Guidelines and any other policies Blkem makes available in order to maintain the safety of the Services.

If you fail to comply, we reserve the right to remove any offending content, terminate or limit the visibility of your account, and notify third parties—including law enforcement agencies—and provide those third parties with information relating to your account. This step may be necessary to protect the safety of our users, and others, to investigate, remedy, and enforce potential Terms violations, and to detect and resolve any fraud or security concerns. We also care about your physical safety while using our Services. So do not use our Services in a way that would distract you from obeying traffic or safety laws. For example, never use the Services while driving. And never put yourself or others in harm’s way just to capture a Blkem.

Modifying the Services and Termination

We’re relentlessly improving our Services and creating new ones all the time. That means we may add or remove features, products or functionalities, and we may also suspend or stop the Services altogether. We may take any of these actions at any time and, when we do, we will try to notify you beforehand – but this won't always be possible.

While we hope you remain a lifelong Blkem, you can terminate these Terms at any time and for any reason by deleting your Blkem chat account (or, in some cases, the account associated with the applicable part of the Services you are using). We may terminate or temporarily suspend your access to the Services if you fail to comply with these Terms, our Community Guidelines or the law, for any reason outside of our control, or for any reason, and without advanced notice. That means that we may terminate these Terms, stop providing you with all or any part of the Services, or impose new or additional limits on your ability to use our Services. And while we’ll try to give you reasonable notice beforehand, we can’t guarantee that notice will be possible in all circumstances. For example, we may deactivate your account due to prolonged inactivity, and we may reclaim your username at any time for any reason.
