Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms & Voluntary Use

By creating an account, starting a free trial, or otherwise using Blog Swiftly ("the Service"), operated by Perks Express, Inc. ("Perks Express," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Your use of the Service is entirely voluntary and at your own discretion. The Service is not required for any personal, professional, or business purpose. You have independently decided to use the Service for your own advantage, and no one at Perks Express has solicited, pressured, or required you to become a member, trial member, or subscriber. You are free to stop using the Service at any time.

2. Free Trial

New users receive a 30-day free trial with full access to the Service. No credit card is required to start the trial. At the end of the trial period, your access will be paused until you choose a subscription plan. Your content remains saved during and after the trial.

3. Subscriptions & Billing

After the free trial, you may subscribe to a Monthly ($39/month) or Yearly ($390/year) plan. Subscriptions are billed in advance through Stripe, our payment processor. You can cancel anytime through the billing portal — cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Refunds are issued at our sole discretion for billing errors.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to create or publish unlawful, harmful, or infringing content
• Attempt to access, tamper with, or disrupt the Service's infrastructure
• Share your account credentials or resell access to the Service
• Use automated tools to scrape or overload the Service

5. Content Ownership

You retain full ownership of all blog posts and content you create using Blog Swiftly. We do not claim ownership of your content. You grant us a limited license to process your content solely to provide the Service (including AI-assisted generation and publishing).

6. AI-Generated Content

Blog Swiftly uses artificial intelligence to assist with content generation, SEO analysis, and idea suggestions. AI-generated content may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or outdated information. You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, editing, and approving all content before publishing it to any platform. Perks Express does not warrant that any AI-generated content is accurate, complete, legally compliant, or suitable for your intended purpose.

7. Client Payments & Third-Party Payment Services

Blog Swiftly provides tools to help you create estimates, proposals, and invoices, and to track their status (draft, sent, accepted, paid, overdue). These tools are for record-keeping and organization only — Blog Swiftly is not a payment processor and does not facilitate, hold, transmit, or guarantee any payments between you and your clients.

If you choose to include a payment link (such as a Stripe Payment Link, PayPal.me, Venmo, or Cash App handle) on your invoices or estimates, that link directs your client to a third-party service operated independently of Blog Swiftly. Any transaction that occurs through that third-party service is governed solely by the terms and policies of that service provider, not by these Terms.

Blog Swiftly is not responsible for: (a) payment failures, disputes, chargebacks, or fraud occurring on third-party platforms; (b) the availability, accuracy, or security of any third-party payment link you choose to use; (c) collecting or enforcing payment from your clients; or (d) any tax obligations arising from payments you receive. You are solely responsible for selecting your payment methods, reconciling payments, and managing your client relationships.

The "Mark Paid" feature in Blog Swiftly is a manual record-keeping tool — it does not verify or confirm that a payment has actually been received. You are responsible for verifying payment receipt before marking an invoice as paid.

8. Third-Party Publishing Platforms & Integrations

The Service may connect to or publish content to third-party platforms including but not limited to WordPress, Ghost, Medium, LinkedIn, Substack, Blogger, Wix, HubSpot, X (Twitter), Squarespace, Webflow, Tumblr, Facebook, and others ("Third-Party Platforms"). Each Third-Party Platform is operated by an independent company with its own terms of service, privacy policies, content guidelines, and technical requirements.

Perks Express is not responsible for any Third-Party Platform's actions, policies, downtime, data loss, content removal, account suspension, API changes, or any other conduct or outcome on that platform. You are solely responsible for complying with each Third-Party Platform's terms and policies. Any dispute arising from your use of a Third-Party Platform is between you and that platform, not Perks Express.

Perks Express does not guarantee that content published from the Service will appear correctly, at all, or without modification on any Third-Party Platform. Platform APIs, formatting requirements, and publishing rules may change at any time without our control.

9. No Guarantee of Results

The Service is a tool to assist you with content creation, SEO analysis, and publishing workflows. Perks Express does not guarantee any specific outcome, including but not limited to: search engine rankings, organic traffic, audience growth, revenue, client acquisition, engagement metrics, or any other business or personal result. SEO performance depends on many factors outside our control, including search engine algorithms, competition, and market conditions.

Any examples, testimonials, case studies, or performance data shown on our marketing pages or within the Service are illustrative only and do not represent a guarantee or promise of similar results for you.

10. Termination

You may cancel your subscription at any time. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. Upon termination, your content will be retained for 30 days before permanent deletion, unless legally required otherwise.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults and without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. Perks Express expressly disclaims all implied warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

Perks Express does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that defects will be corrected. You use the Service at your own risk. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from Perks Express or through the Service creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Perks Express, its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, or affiliates be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, revenue, business opportunities, data loss, goodwill, or other intangible losses — arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the Service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not Perks Express has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Because your use of the Service is voluntary and not required for any purpose, you acknowledge that the foregoing limitation of liability reflects a fair allocation of risk between you and Perks Express. You accept this allocation voluntarily and without any duress, coercion, or pressure from Perks Express or any of its representatives.

The Service is offered as an optional tool for your benefit. You are not obligated to use it, and Perks Express is not obligated to provide it to you. Because no mandatory relationship exists between you and Perks Express beyond the voluntary, optional use of this Service, Perks Express shall not be held liable for any consequences — direct or indirect — of your decision to use or not use the Service.

To the extent any exclusion or limitation of liability is not permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of Perks Express for all claims arising out of or related to the Service shall not exceed the total amount you paid to Perks Express for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. If you have not paid any fees (e.g., during a free trial), Perks Express shall have no liability to you whatsoever.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Perks Express, its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) any content you create, upload, or publish using the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights; (e) your interactions with Third-Party Platforms, clients, or payment services; or (f) any breach of applicable laws or regulations. This indemnification obligation survives termination of your account.

14. International Use & Worldwide Availability

The Service is available worldwide and may be offered in multiple languages. If you access or use the Service from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with all local laws and regulations applicable to you, including but not limited to data protection, consumer protection, and content laws of your country or region.

Perks Express makes no representation that the Service is appropriate or available for use in every country. You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of the Service is legal in your jurisdiction. The availability of the Service in multiple languages does not constitute an offer to provide services where prohibited by local law. Any translations of the Service or these Terms are provided for convenience only; the English version of these Terms is the controlling version in the event of any conflict or discrepancy.

Perks Express is not liable for any compliance obligations, tax obligations, or legal requirements specific to your country or region. You are responsible for any import/export, customs, or regulatory requirements that may apply to your use of the Service.

15. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

For users located within the United States, you agree that the exclusive jurisdiction for any dispute shall be the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and you waive any objection to venue or inconvenient forum.

For users located outside the United States, you agree that any dispute shall be resolved as set forth in the Arbitration section below. Nothing in this section limits your right to bring a claim in your country of residence where local consumer protection laws require it.

16. Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

Binding arbitration: Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (including the scope, enforceability, or interpretation of this arbitration provision) shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if they qualify.

Class action waiver: You and Perks Express agree that each party may bring disputes against the other party only in an individual capacity. You hereby waive any right to bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

Opt-out right: You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to Perks Express within 30 days of the date you first accept these Terms. The notice must include your name, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Send notices through the contact information on our About Us page with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out."

Severability: If any portion of this arbitration section is found unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable, the entire arbitration provision shall be null and void.

17. DMCA / Copyright Takedown

Perks Express respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. If you believe that content created or published using the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown request under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

To file a DMCA notice, provide the following in writing:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed
• Identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location (URL or description sufficient to locate it)
• Your contact information, including your full name, address, telephone number, and email address
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf

Send DMCA notices through the contact information on our About Us page with the subject line "DMCA Takedown Request." We will process valid notices in accordance with the DMCA and may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing content.

Counter-notice: If your content is removed due to a DMCA notice, you may submit a counter-notice if you believe the removal was in error. Counter-notices must include the same identifying information as above, plus a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification. Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we may restore the content in accordance with the DMCA.

Repeat infringers: We will terminate the accounts of users who are found to repeatedly infringe copyrights in accordance with the DMCA.

18. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms periodically. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notice. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
