Welcome to the BizMerlin Terms of Service (ToS or Terms). Your use of the Service is subject to these Terms of Service. This is a legal contract between you and BizMerlin, for use of the BizMerlin on Demand service. “You” refers to any individual who agrees to the “I accept the BizMerlin Terms of Service” checkbox option on the Service homepage or while registering for the Service, or, if the Service is being used on behalf of an entity by an individual authorized to agree to such terms on behalf of such entity, then “You” refers to such entity. If you do not agree with the terms of this ToS, do not select the “BizMerlin Terms of Service” checkbox and do not use the Service. The ToS will also be applicable to the use of the Service on a trial basis.
The website and any downloadable software associated with the Service are protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties.
BizMerlin reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify or otherwise alter these ToS, or any policy or guideline applicable to the Services, at any time.
Unless otherwise specified, any changes or modifications will be effective immediately upon posting of the revised Terms on this Site, and your continued use of the Services after such time will constitute your agreement to be bound by such modified Terms. You should from time to time review the Terms and any policies and documents incorporated in them to understand the terms and conditions that apply to your use of the Services. The Terms will always show the ‘last updated’ date at the top.
If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the Services. You can cancel your account with us without further obligation, except for the amount due for the balance of the billing period in which you cancel your account (if your billing period is monthly, we will prorate your account to the nearest month-end after cancellation). If you have any questions about the Terms, please email us at support@bizmerlin.com.
The Service includes, and is limited to, a website and an android app allowing you access to and use of a single or multiple BizMerlin Accounts, with Support from BizMerlin. “BizMerlin” referred to herein means the BizMerlin Software, a server-based and android based software product. A “BizMerlin Account” or “Account” referred to herein means a website and a mobile app, provided by BizMerlin in exchange for Your payments, where You may use BizMerlin to create, update, share, and publish information, data, text, software, messages or other materials (“Content”). “Support” referred to herein means technical support from BizMerlin, available via electronic mail.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Service is not designed or licensed for use in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe controls, including without limitation operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation/communication systems, air traffic control, and life support or weapons systems.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the Agreement. In order to use the Service, You must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and modem or other access device. You also understand and agree that the service may include certain from BizMerlin, such as service announcements, administrative messages, etc., and that these are considered part of the Service and you will not be able to opt out of receiving them. You agree not to access the Service by any means other than through the interfaces that are provided by BizMerlin for use in accessing the Service. BizMerlin will provide the Service in accordance with this Agreement. BizMerlin may at its sole discretion modify the features of the Service from time to time without prior notice.
In order to use the Service, You must have a valid Account. To acquire an Account for the Service, You must provide BizMerlin with an electronic mail address and other information (“Registration Data”). You will choose an account designation for Your Account during the Service’s registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the access data for Your Account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to (a) immediately notify BizMerlin of any unauthorized use of your Account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your Account at the end of each session. BizMerlin cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section. In consideration of use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form, and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.
BizMerlin assumes no duty to verify such information as further detailed in CONTENT OF THE SERVICE. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or BizMerlin has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, BizMerlin has the right to suspend or terminate Your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof). If you register to use the Service on a free-trial basis, you will also have to go through the registration process. If you are under 18 years of age then you are required to have a parent or guardian review and complete the registration process on your behalf.
By signing up for BizMerlin, you provide your consent to receive periodic emails from BizMerlin team and for allowing us to display your logo and company name in the clients list on our website or other such marketing materials. The emails include, but are not limited to, server outage messages, account updates, periodic summary messages and billing notifications. Some of the email notifications may be controlled through the administration console provided within the BizMerlin application.
Your credit card will be charged on or around 5th of the subsequent Month for your use of the Service from registration until the charge date. If you sign up for your Account on a day other than the first day of a Month, or if you terminate the Service in the middle of a Month, the Monthly Fee for that Month of service will be pro-rated in accordance with the number of complete days during that Month when You could have used the Service, irrespective of whether you actually used the Service or not.
You may, through a mechanism BizMerlin provides as part of Your Account, define Users. You may define Users as “Inactive Users” (Users without permission to access Your Account) and “Active Users” (Users with permission to log in to Your Account using a password). All active users are counted for during the generation of invoices. BizMerlin cannot add or delete the users on your behalf. Neither can BizMerlin make the active users inactive upon request.
For the cost of a Subscription Fee for a Paid Account (the “Monthly Fee”), please refer to the pricing page, for each given calendar month as defined according to local time in New York, NY, USA (“Month”), for each Active User in Your Account. The number of Active Users for purposes of calculating the cost of Your Subscription Fee shall be the highest simultaneous number of Active Users in Your Account during the previous month.
You stand responsible for your account which means you delete or close your account if you do not intent to use it any further. Invoices are due once they have been generated. As long as Your Account remains active and in good standing, you will be charged the Monthly Fee even if you never use the service. You may, however, cancel Your Account at any time.
You agree that BizMerlin may charge to your credit card all amounts due and owing for Your Account on that monthly basis or upon cancellation (see “Termination, Breach, Suspension and Cancellation” and “Refund”).
BizMerlin will contact you via electronic mail to alert you upon each charge. BizMerlin may change prices at any time without prior notice, but will endeavour to provide reasonable advance notice via Your Account website and/or electronic mail. You agree that in the event BizMerlin is unable to collect the fees owed to BizMerlin for Your Account through Your Subscription Fee, BizMerlin may take any other steps it deems necessary to collect such fees from You and that You will be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by BizMerlin in connection with such collection activity, including collection fees, court costs and attorneys’ fees.
If Your Monthly Fee payment is overdue, or if Your Trial Period has expired BizMerlin has not yet received your credit card information portion of your Registration Data, BizMerlin may disable your access and Your Users’ access to your Account till you close the account. If your Subscription Fee payment is more than 30 calendar days overdue, or if Your Trial Period expired more than 30 calendar days prior and You have not paid Your Subscription Fee, BizMerlin may suspend or terminate your account till the termination notification is received from the account manager. BizMerlin reserves the right to take the legal action in the event of default payments; all legal expenses will be borne by the defaulters. BizMerlin may also, at its sole discretion, at any time and for any reason, terminate the Service, terminate this Agreement, or suspend or terminate Your Account. In the event of suspension or termination, your account will be disabled and you may not be granted access to your Account or any files or other Content contained in your Account, and BizMerlin may delete Your Content, although residual copies of information may remain in our system for some time for back-up purposes. In the event of termination, BizMerlin may also withdraw and at its discretion reallocate the public web address of Your Account.
If you terminate Your Account, via means provided for cancellation on the BizMerlin website via Your Account, or electronic mail to BizMerlin, and you request that BizMerlin delete Content and files contained in Your Account, BizMerlin will make all reasonable efforts to do so.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Content and BizMerlin Account, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with the BizMerlin Account, including those of Your Users.
You agree to immediately notify BizMerlin of any unauthorized uses of the Account or any other breaches of security. BizMerlin cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation. You acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will BizMerlin be liable, in any way, for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.
We take reliability and security seriously, and put a great deal of effort into ensuring that our service operates all the time, and that it is a secure environment for your data. We use what we believe to be “best-of-class” hosting services and security technologies and services that we believe provide you with a secure and safe environment. More information about these services and technologies is available on the Site.
However, no system is perfectly secure or reliable, the Internet is an inherently insecure medium, and the reliability of hosting services, Internet intermediaries, your Internet service provider, and other service providers cannot be assured. When you use BizMerlin, you accept these risks, and the responsibility for choosing to use a technology that does not provide perfect security or reliability. If at any time, you assess the system security does not meet your organizational requirements, immediately discontinue the use of Service and close your account.
Finally, BizMerlin provides the BizMerlin API to facilitate the use of the Services with other services on the Internet. If a third party is authorized through your BizMerlin account to have access to your User Content through the BizMerlin API, we cannot control and are not responsible or liable for the third party’s use of your User Content.
This Section contains terms and conditions applicable to your use of the BizMerlin API, whether you are a Subscriber or other User, including a developer or operator of a website or application (such a website or application, a “BizMerlin API Implementation”, and the developer or operator, an “API Developer”) who wishes to use the BizMerlin API for the purpose of including Content in your BizMerlin API Implementation. If you are a Subscriber and you procure a third-party to develop a BizMerlin API Implementation for you, this Section applies to your and their use of the BizMerlin API, and you are responsible for their compliance with this Section to the same extent as though you were developing the BizMerlin API Implementation yourself.
If you are an API Developer and not otherwise a User, your use of the BizMerlin API constitutes your agreement to these Terms. We may change these Terms without notice to you by posting new Terms on the Site. It is your responsibility to review the Site for changes to the Terms. If you use the Services after new Terms are posted, your use of the Services constitutes your agreement to the new Terms. If you do not wish to be bound by the new Terms, cease your use of the Services.
If you are an API Developer and not otherwise a Subscriber or other User of the Services, the license set forth in this Section applies to your use of the BizMerlin API, and the license set forth in Section 6 does not apply to your use of the BizMerlin API. If you are also a Subscriber or other User, the license set forth in Section 6 applies to your use of Content other than the BizMerlin API, and this Section applies to your use of the BizMerlin API.
BizMerlin grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable license to use the BizMerlin API as provided by BizMerlin, in the manner permitted by the Terms. Such license does not license any other Content to you, including Subscriber Content. If you wish to use your BizMerlin API Implementation to display or deliver any Content provided to us by a Subscriber, you must obtain the prior agreement of that Subscriber to that use, by obtaining a license from the Subscriber, in terms of use governing the use by that Subscriber of your BizMerlin API Implementation, for your use of that Content. This limited license is subject to the usage restrictions set forth in Section 6, and any further restrictions set out in your terms of use and privacy policy agreed to by the Subscriber. If you do not present terms of use and a privacy policy to our Subscribers upon their use of your BizMerlin API Implementation, you may not use the BizMerlin API.
Your use of the BizMerlin API is also subject to the following restrictions. You may not:
You agree to carefully monitor your use of the BizMerlin API and ensure that it remains within reasonable operational limits for both your own server capacity and for ours. You acknowledge and agree that we may impose or adjust the limit on the number of transactions you may send or receive through the Service; such fixed upper limits may be set by us at any time, at our discretion. If we impose such limits, we may describe them on our Site. BizMerlin may charge additional fees for the excess. Unused API calls will not roll over to the next period.
You will not attempt to exceed or circumvent limitations on access, calls and use of the BizMerlin API, or otherwise use the BizMerlin API in a manner that exceeds reasonable request volume, constitutes excessive or abusive usage, or otherwise fails to comply or is inconsistent with any part of these Terms. BizMerlin may monitor your use of the BizMerlin API and, if your application(s) does or will connect the BizMerlin API to five hundred or more systems, BizMerlin reserves the right to limit or suspend access to the BizMerlin API by you or your API client(s) and to contact you to discuss the volume and terms of your API calls.
We reserve the right to rate limit other functionality to prevent abuse, spam, denial-of-service attacks, or other security issues.
BizMerlin has no responsibility to any person for any use or misuse of any Content obtained through the BizMerlin API. If you are a Subscriber, you should consider carefully whether you wish to give an API Developer access to your Content through the BizMerlin API. If you wish to revoke access to your Content through the BizMerlin API, you should change your BizMerlin access credentials or revoke authorization of the BizMerlin API Implementation to your Content. Please contact us at support@BizMerlin.com if you want assistance doing this.
BizMerlin may monitor your use of the BizMerlin API for any reason, including but not limited to: quality assurance, the improvement of BizMerlin products and services, and for verification of your compliance with these Terms. You shall not interfere with such monitoring or otherwise obscure from BizMerlin any aspect of your use of the BizMerlin API. BizMerlin may use any technical means to overcome such interference. BizMerlin may suspend access to the API by you or your API client without notice if BizMerlin reasonably believe that you are in violation of the Terms. You acknowledge that any use by us of your BizMerlin API Implementation for such purpose will not constitute our agreement to any terms of use you purport to require us to comply with in such use.
The Services may include discussion forums, bulletin boards, review services or other forums in which you or third parties may post reviews or other content, messages, materials or other items on the Services (“Interactive Areas”). If BizMerlin provides such Interactive Areas, you are solely responsible for your use of such Interactive Areas and use them at your own risk.

Finally, BizMerlin has a “zero-tolerance” policy towards SPAM: you may not use the Interactive Areas or the Services generally to send commercial or other messages to any third-party if those messages are not solicited, authorized or welcomed by the third-party, and in your use of the Services you must comply with all applicable laws, including laws that apply in any jurisdiction to SPAM and marketing practices, and with any applicable marketing association guidelines on ethical marketing practices.
Any use of the Interactive Areas or other portions of the Services in violation of the foregoing violates these Terms and may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Interactive Areas and/or the Services.

You will choose an account designation for Your Account during the Service’s registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the access data for Your Account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to (a) immediately notify BizMerlin of any unauthorized use of your Account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your Account at the end of each session. BizMerlin cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section. In consideration of use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form, and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.
BizMerlin assumes no duty to verify such information as further detailed in CONTENT OF THE SERVICE. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or BizMerlin has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, BizMerlin has the right to suspend or terminate Your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof). If you register to use the Service on a free-trial basis, you will also have to go through the registration process. If you are under 18 years of age then you are required to have a parent or guardian review and complete the registration process on your behalf.
By signing up for BizMerlin, you provide your consent to receive periodic emails from BizMerlin team and for allowing us to display your logo and company name in the clients list on our website or other such marketing materials. The emails include, but are not limited to, server outage messages, account updates, periodic summary messages and billing notifications. Some of the email notifications may be controlled through the administration console provided within the BizMerlin application.
Your credit card will be charged on or around 5th of the subsequent Month for your use of the Service from registration until the charge date. If you sign up for your Account on a day other than the first day of a Month, or if you terminate the Service in the middle of a Month, the Monthly Fee for that Month of service will be pro-rated in accordance with the number of complete days during that Month when You could have used the Service, irrespective of whether you actually used the Service or not.
You may, through a mechanism BizMerlin provides as part of Your Account, define Users. You may define Users as “Inactive Users” (Users without permission to access Your Account) and “Active Users” (Users with permission to log in to Your Account using a password). All active users are counted for during the generation of invoices. BizMerlin cannot add or delete the users on your behalf. Neither can BizMerlin make the active users inactive upon request.
For the cost of a Subscription Fee for a Paid Account (the “Monthly Fee”), please refer to the pricing page, for each given calendar month as defined according to local time in New York, NY, USA (“Month”), for each Active User in Your Account. The number of Active Users for purposes of calculating the cost of Your Subscription Fee shall be the highest simultaneous number of Active Users in Your Account during the previous month.
You stand responsible for your account which means you delete or close your account if you do not intent to use it any further. Invoices are due once they have been generated. As long as Your Account remains active and in good standing, you will be charged the Monthly Fee even if you never use the service. You may, however, cancel Your Account at any time.
You agree that BizMerlin may charge to your credit card all amounts due and owing for Your Account on that monthly basis or upon cancellation (see “Termination, Breach, Suspension and Cancellation” and “Refund”).
BizMerlin will contact you via electronic mail to alert you upon each charge. BizMerlin may change prices at any time without prior notice, but will endeavour to provide reasonable advance notice via Your Account website and/or electronic mail. You agree that in the event BizMerlin is unable to collect the fees owed to BizMerlin for Your Account through Your Subscription Fee, BizMerlin may take any other steps it deems necessary to collect such fees from You and that You will be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by BizMerlin in connection with such collection activity, including collection fees, court costs and attorneys’ fees.
If Your Monthly Fee payment is overdue, or if Your Trial Period has expired BizMerlin has not yet received your credit card information portion of your Registration Data, BizMerlin may disable your access and Your Users’ access to your Account till you close the account. If your Subscription Fee payment is more than 30 calendar days overdue, or if Your Trial Period expired more than 30 calendar days prior and You have not paid Your Subscription Fee, BizMerlin may suspend or terminate your account till the termination notification is received from the account manager. BizMerlin reserves the right to take the legal action in the event of default payments; all legal expenses will be borne by the defaulters. BizMerlin may also, at its sole discretion, at any time and for any reason, terminate the Service, terminate this Agreement, or suspend or terminate Your Account. In the event of suspension or termination, your account will be disabled and you may not be granted access to your Account or any files or other Content contained in your Account, and BizMerlin may delete Your Content, although residual copies of information may remain in our system for some time for back-up purposes. In the event of termination, BizMerlin may also withdraw and at its discretion reallocate the public web address of Your Account.
If you terminate Your Account, via means provided for cancellation on the BizMerlin website via Your Account, or electronic mail to BizMerlin, and you request that BizMerlin delete Content and files contained in Your Account, BizMerlin will make all reasonable efforts to do so.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Content and BizMerlin Account, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with the BizMerlin Account, including those of Your Users.
You agree to immediately notify BizMerlin of any unauthorized uses of the Account or any other breaches of security. BizMerlin cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation. You acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will BizMerlin be liable, in any way, for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.
We take reliability and security seriously, and put a great deal of effort into ensuring that our service operates all the time, and that it is a secure environment for your data. We use what we believe to be “best-of-class” hosting services and security technologies and services that we believe provide you with a secure and safe environment. More information about these services and technologies is available on the Site.
However, no system is perfectly secure or reliable, the Internet is an inherently insecure medium, and the reliability of hosting services, Internet intermediaries, your Internet service provider, and other service providers cannot be assured. When you use BizMerlin, you accept these risks, and the responsibility for choosing to use a technology that does not provide perfect security or reliability. If at any time, you assess the system security does not meet your organizational requirements, immediately discontinue the use of Service and close your account.
Finally, BizMerlin provides the BizMerlin API to facilitate the use of the Services with other services on the Internet. If a third party is authorized through your BizMerlin account to have access to your User Content through the BizMerlin API, we cannot control and are not responsible or liable for the third party’s use of your User Content.
This Section contains terms and conditions applicable to your use of the BizMerlin API, whether you are a Subscriber or other User, including a developer or operator of a website or application (such a website or application, a “BizMerlin API Implementation”, and the developer or operator, an “API Developer”) who wishes to use the BizMerlin API for the purpose of including Content in your BizMerlin API Implementation. If you are a Subscriber and you procure a third-party to develop a BizMerlin API Implementation for you, this Section applies to your and their use of the BizMerlin API, and you are responsible for their compliance with this Section to the same extent as though you were developing the BizMerlin API Implementation yourself.
If you are an API Developer and not otherwise a User, your use of the BizMerlin API constitutes your agreement to these Terms. We may change these Terms without notice to you by posting new Terms on the Site. It is your responsibility to review the Site for changes to the Terms. If you use the Services after new Terms are posted, your use of the Services constitutes your agreement to the new Terms. If you do not wish to be bound by the new Terms, cease your use of the Services.
If you are an API Developer and not otherwise a Subscriber or other User of the Services, the license set forth in this Section applies to your use of the BizMerlin API, and the license set forth in Section 6 does not apply to your use of the BizMerlin API. If you are also a Subscriber or other User, the license set forth in Section 6 applies to your use of Content other than the BizMerlin API, and this Section applies to your use of the BizMerlin API.
BizMerlin grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable license to use the BizMerlin API as provided by BizMerlin, in the manner permitted by the Terms. Such license does not license any other Content to you, including Subscriber Content. If you wish to use your BizMerlin API Implementation to display or deliver any Content provided to us by a Subscriber, you must obtain the prior agreement of that Subscriber to that use, by obtaining a license from the Subscriber, in terms of use governing the use by that Subscriber of your BizMerlin API Implementation, for your use of that Content. This limited license is subject to the usage restrictions set forth in Section 6, and any further restrictions set out in your terms of use and privacy policy agreed to by the Subscriber. If you do not present terms of use and a privacy policy to our Subscribers upon their use of your BizMerlin API Implementation, you may not use the BizMerlin API.
Your use of the BizMerlin API is also subject to the following restrictions. You may not:
You agree to carefully monitor your use of the BizMerlin API and ensure that it remains within reasonable operational limits for both your own server capacity and for ours. You acknowledge and agree that we may impose or adjust the limit on the number of transactions you may send or receive through the Service; such fixed upper limits may be set by us at any time, at our discretion. If we impose such limits, we may describe them on our Site. BizMerlin may charge additional fees for the excess. Unused API calls will not roll over to the next period.
You will not attempt to exceed or circumvent limitations on access, calls and use of the BizMerlin API, or otherwise use the BizMerlin API in a manner that exceeds reasonable request volume, constitutes excessive or abusive usage, or otherwise fails to comply or is inconsistent with any part of these Terms. BizMerlin may monitor your use of the BizMerlin API and, if your application(s) does or will connect the BizMerlin API to five hundred or more systems, BizMerlin reserves the right to limit or suspend access to the BizMerlin API by you or your API client(s) and to contact you to discuss the volume and terms of your API calls.
We reserve the right to rate limit other functionality to prevent abuse, spam, denial-of-service attacks, or other security issues.
BizMerlin has no responsibility to any person for any use or misuse of any Content obtained through the BizMerlin API. If you are a Subscriber, you should consider carefully whether you wish to give an API Developer access to your Content through the BizMerlin API. If you wish to revoke access to your Content through the BizMerlin API, you should change your BizMerlin access credentials or revoke authorization of the BizMerlin API Implementation to your Content. Please contact us at support@BizMerlin.com if you want assistance doing this.
BizMerlin may monitor your use of the BizMerlin API for any reason, including but not limited to: quality assurance, the improvement of BizMerlin products and services, and for verification of your compliance with these Terms. You shall not interfere with such monitoring or otherwise obscure from BizMerlin any aspect of your use of the BizMerlin API. BizMerlin may use any technical means to overcome such interference. BizMerlin may suspend access to the API by you or your API client without notice if BizMerlin reasonably believe that you are in violation of the Terms. You acknowledge that any use by us of your BizMerlin API Implementation for such purpose will not constitute our agreement to any terms of use you purport to require us to comply with in such use.
