You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify Blaise immediately at support@joinblaise.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

5. Nature of the Platform; No Agency

Blaise is a marketing attribution and technology platform that facilitates collaborations between Businesses and Creators, and provides Customers with access to verified offers and promotions. Blaise:

  • Is not a party to any agreement between Users
  • Is not an employer, partner, joint venturer, broker, fiduciary, or agent of any User
  • Does not guarantee revenue, sales volume, performance outcomes, or specific results for any User
  • Does not control Business refund policies, product quality, or service delivery
  • Does not endorse, verify, or assume responsibility for any Business's products, services, or claims

Users are independent commercial actors. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between Blaise and any User, or between Users.

6. License Grant (SaaS EULA)

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Blaise grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Platform for your internal business or personal purposes, as applicable to your account type. You may not:

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of any Platform systems, algorithms, or software
  • Scrape, crawl, or use automated means to collect data from the Platform without prior written consent
  • Circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features, access controls, or technical safeguards
  • Use any Platform information — including data, analytics, insights, features, workflows, pricing structures, or documentation — to build or assist a competing product or service
  • Access or use the Platform on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any competitor of Blaise, or for competitive intelligence or benchmarking purposes
  • White-label, resell, or sublicense any portion of the Platform without written authorization from Blaise
  • Access the Platform through any means other than the interfaces provided by Blaise

All rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved by Blaise. The Platform, including all software, algorithms, data structures, and user interfaces, is the exclusive property of Blaise App LLC.

7. Account Suspension and Termination

7.1 Grounds for Suspension

Blaise may suspend your account, in whole or in part, at any time if Blaise reasonably believes that:

  • You have violated this Agreement, the Community Guidelines, or any Platform policy
  • Your account is involved in or associated with suspected fraud or abuse
  • Your continued access poses a risk to Platform integrity, other Users, or Blaise's operations
  • An investigation is pending regarding your account activity
  • Required by law or legal process

7.2 Effect of Suspension

During a suspension, your account access will be frozen. Pending Commissions, Monetary Payments, referral earnings, and all other amounts credited to your ledger balances on the Platform will be preserved but frozen for the duration of the suspension. You will not be able to create, accept, or participate in Campaigns, Offers, Partnerships, or Ambassadorships. Blaise will notify you of the suspension and the reason, to the extent permitted by law.

7.3 Grounds for Termination

Blaise may permanently terminate your account if:

  • You have committed attribution fraud, including self-redemption or coordinated redemption
  • You have bypassed or circumvented Platform attribution, including, for Businesses, applying an Offer discount or completing a Blaise-attributed sale outside the Platform to avoid Platform fees, attribution, or Commission obligations
  • You have engaged in illegal activity through the Platform
  • You have posted content that exploits, endangers, or sexualizes minors
  • You have committed repeated or serious violations after prior enforcement actions
  • Your conduct poses an ongoing risk to User safety or Platform integrity
  • You have materially breached this Agreement and failed to cure within any applicable cure period

7.4 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your account will be permanently closed. Pending Commissions and other pending funds may be forfeited if termination results from fraud, attribution manipulation, attribution bypass, or other serious violations. If termination results from attribution bypass by a Business, all amounts pending in the Business's ledger balances (including pending referral earnings) may be forfeited and all of the Business's active Campaigns and Offers will be immediately shut down. If termination is not for cause, earned and verified Commissions and other cleared balances will be paid out in accordance with Section 12. Active Campaigns, Offers, Partnerships, and Ambassadorships will be cancelled.

7.5 Post-Termination Obligations

Upon termination: (a) your license to use the Platform is immediately revoked; (b) you must cease all use of the Platform and any Blaise intellectual property; (c) Blaise will retain your data in accordance with the retention periods described in the Privacy Policy; and (d) the provisions of this Agreement that by their nature should survive termination will survive (see Section 34).

7.6 Appeal Process

Users who believe their account was suspended or terminated in error may appeal by emailing legal@joinblaise.com within fourteen (14) days of the action. Appeals will be reviewed by a member of the Blaise team not involved in the original decision. Blaise will respond to appeals within thirty (30) business days.

8. Attribution & Platform Record Finality

All attribution determinations — including which Creator is credited for a transaction, which Offer was redeemed, and which Customer completed a purchase — are made exclusively by Blaise's internal systems based on QR code scan data, timestamps, and Platform records. Platform records are final and controlling for:

  • Attribution credit
  • Commission eligibility and calculation
  • Reporting metrics and analytics
  • Payout calculations and schedules
  • Creator Tier scoring
  • Referral Program tracking

External records, screenshots, third-party analytics tools, POS system records, or anecdotal claims do not override Platform data. Disputes regarding attribution must be submitted in writing to support@joinblaise.com and will be resolved by Blaise in its sole discretion.

9. Campaigns & Offers

Businesses may create Campaigns and Offers through the Platform. By creating a Campaign or Offer, a Business agrees to:

  • Provide accurate and complete Campaign descriptions, compensation terms, content requirements, and targeting criteria
  • Honor all compensation terms published at the time a Creator accepts a Partnership or claims an Offer
  • Honor Customer discounts associated with Offers when a valid QR code is presented at the point of sale
  • Not retroactively change compensation terms in a manner that adversely affects Creator earnings for work already performed
  • Ensure that all Campaign materials comply with applicable laws, including FTC advertising guidelines

Creators who apply to Campaigns and accept Offers agree to perform the work described in the Campaign terms, comply with all content requirements and deadlines, and adhere to the Community Guidelines. Blaise reserves the right to remove, modify, or suspend any Campaign or Offer that violates this Agreement, the Community Guidelines, or applicable law.

10. Partnerships & Ambassadorships

Partnerships and Ambassadorships are formal engagements between Businesses and Creators established through the Platform. All Partnership and Ambassadorship engagements must be initiated, managed, and compensated through the Platform.

Partnerships are Campaign-specific engagements with defined scope, deliverables, compensation, and timelines. Partnerships are governed by the Campaign terms accepted by the Creator at the time of acceptance.

Ambassadorships are ongoing relationships in which a Creator promotes a Business over a sustained period. Ambassadorship terms (duration, compensation structure, content requirements, exclusivity) are defined at the time the Ambassadorship is established and may be modified only by mutual agreement through the Platform.

Users may not solicit or facilitate Partnerships, Ambassadorships, or other engagements outside the Platform to circumvent Platform fees, commissions, or attribution. Violation of this provision may result in account termination (see Section 7).

11. Brand Protection; Moral Conduct; Content Standards

11.1 Brand Protection

Blaise may require the immediate removal of any content that, in Blaise's reasonable judgment, harms the reputation of Blaise, a Business, or the Platform community.

11.2 Takedown Requirement

Upon receipt of a takedown notice from Blaise, the User must remove the specified content within twenty-four (24) hours. Failure to comply may result in suspension, forfeiture of pending Commissions, account termination, and legal action.

11.3 Moral Conduct

Users shall not engage in conduct that brings the Platform into disrepute. Blaise reserves the right to suspend or terminate any User whose off-platform conduct materially and adversely affects Blaise's brand, business relationships, or community trust.

11.4 Creator Content Obligations

Creators are responsible for ensuring that all content created in connection with the Platform complies with applicable laws, including FTC Endorsement Guidelines, and the Community Guidelines. All sponsored content must include clear and conspicuous disclosure of the material connection to the Business.

11.5 Business Content Obligations

Businesses are responsible for ensuring that Campaign descriptions, Offer terms, and all marketing materials submitted through the Platform are accurate, not misleading, and compliant with applicable advertising laws.

11.6 Prohibited Content

All content standards, including a comprehensive list of prohibited content, are set forth in the Community Guidelines Section 3.2, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

11.7 Content Featuring Minors

If you are a Creator and your content features or depicts a minor (any individual under 18), you must comply with all applicable child influencer and child content creator laws in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to state child performer laws and COPPA. You must obtain all necessary parental or guardian consents before publishing content featuring a minor in connection with the Platform. Creators bear sole responsibility for ensuring their content featuring minors complies with applicable law. Blaise is not responsible for monitoring Creator compliance with child content creator laws. Content that exploits, endangers, or sexualizes minors in any way is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate account termination and reporting to applicable authorities. See also Community Guidelines Section 3.3 and Privacy Policy Section 15.

12. Creator Compensation & Payouts

12.1 Compensation Types

Creators may be compensated through the Platform in three forms, as defined by the applicable Campaign or Offer: (a) Commission — a percentage of each verified QR-attributed transaction, earned per redemption; (b) Monetary Payment — a flat fee for contracted Campaign deliverables; and (c) Gifting — products or services provided by the Business. A Campaign may combine compensation forms. Offers always carry a Commission. The compensation terms for a specific Campaign or Offer are those published on the Platform at the time the Creator accepts the Partnership or claims the Offer.

12.2 Commission Eligibility & Holdback

Creator Commissions become eligible for payout only after all of the following conditions are satisfied:

  • A qualifying transaction occurs through a verified QR code redemption
  • The Business's return and refund window has fully expired without a refund, reversal, or chargeback
  • The transaction remains valid and has not been flagged, reversed, disputed, or refunded
  • Blaise's internal fraud review has cleared the transaction
  • The Business maintains sufficient funding in its Business Wallet

Commission holdback periods correspond to the return policy of the applicable Business and may be zero (0), seven (7), thirty (30), sixty (60), or ninety (90) days, as displayed in the Campaign or Offer terms.

12.3 Monetary Payments

Monetary Payments are subject to a flat seven (7) day holdback, which is independent of the Business's return policy. After the holdback expires and any applicable deliverable and fraud review is cleared, the Monetary Payment moves to the Creator's available earnings for payout.

12.4 Gifting

Gifting is arranged, fulfilled, and delivered entirely outside the Platform. Blaise does not process, deliver, value, insure, or guarantee gifted products or services, charges no fee on Gifting, and is not responsible for any dispute regarding gifted compensation, which is solely between the Creator and the Business. Creators are responsible for any tax obligations associated with gifted compensation.

12.5 Adjustments & Reversals

Pending Commissions and Monetary Payments may be reversed, adjusted, withheld, offset, or recouped by Blaise in its sole discretion for reasons including but not limited to: transaction reversal, refund, chargeback, fraud, policy violation, or Business Wallet insufficiency.

12.6 Payout Terms

The minimum payout threshold is twenty-five dollars ($25). Earnings below the minimum threshold will accumulate until the threshold is reached. Blaise is the exclusive payor of record for all Commissions and Monetary Payments — Businesses do not pay Commissions or Monetary Payments to Creators directly. Commission rates, structures, and terms are established at the Campaign or Offer level by the Business. Blaise does not guarantee any minimum Commission amount. Payouts are processed via the Creator's connected Payout Processor — Stripe or PayPal (see Section 13).

13. Payment Facilitation & Payout Methods

13.1 Payment Processing

Payouts on the Platform — including Creator payouts and referral earnings payouts — are processed via the User's connected Payout Processor: Stripe or PayPal. Business subscription billing and Business Wallet funding are processed exclusively via Stripe. By using the Platform, you agree to the terms of service and privacy policy of each payment processor you use.

13.2 Payout Connection

Any User who receives payouts through the Platform must connect a valid payout method. This includes Creators (Commissions, Monetary Payments, and referral earnings) and Businesses and Customers (referral earnings). Each User may connect either a Stripe account or a PayPal account — one payout method, not both. You may change your connected payout method through your account settings, subject to verification.

13.3 Tax Documentation

A completed IRS Form W-9 is required before any payout method may be connected. Year-end tax documentation (including IRS Form 1099, where applicable) is issued by Stripe or PayPal, as applicable — not by Blaise. You are responsible for providing accurate tax information and for all tax obligations associated with your Platform earnings.

13.4 Processor Fees

You are responsible for any transfer, withdrawal, currency, or account-level fees imposed by Stripe or PayPal in connection with payouts to your account. Such fees are set by the Payout Processor, not by Blaise, and may be deducted from payout amounts by the processor.

13.5 Processor Responsibility

Blaise does not store full bank account numbers, Social Security Numbers, or raw payment card data. Blaise is not responsible for Payout Processor processing times, fees, holds, or restrictions. If a payout fails due to issues with your Stripe or PayPal account, you are responsible for resolving the issue with the applicable processor directly.

14. Business Fees, Subscriptions & Wallet Funding

14.1 Business Wallet & Ledger

Funds added to the Platform by a Business are credited to that Business's Business Wallet and tracked in dedicated ledger accounts attributed to that Business. All Platform fees described in this Section, all Monetary Payments, and all Commission liabilities are debited from the Business Wallet. Blaise is not a bank, money transmitter, trustee, or fiduciary; payment processing is performed by the Payout Processors described in Section 13. The rates, amounts, and funding requirements applicable under this Section are set forth in the Fee Schedule and are displayed within the Platform before each applicable charge is incurred.

14.2 QR Transaction Fee

Each verified QR code redemption is subject to a transaction fee at the rate determined by the Business's subscription tier, as set forth in the Fee Schedule and displayed within the Platform at subscription enrollment. The transaction fee is calculated on the discounted sale amount — the amount actually paid by the Customer after the applicable Offer discount is applied — and is debited from the Business Wallet at the time of redemption. The fee rate in effect for the Business's subscription tier at the time of redemption applies.

14.3 Monetary Campaign Fee

Campaigns that include a Monetary Payment are subject to a platform fee for each accepted Creator Slot, calculated as a percentage of the monetary rate for that slot, at the rate set forth in the Fee Schedule and displayed within the Platform before the fee is incurred. The Monetary Campaign Fee is charged as follows: (a) for the first Creator Slot, upon Blaise's administrative approval of the Campaign; and (b) for each subsequent Creator Slot, upon the Business's acceptance of the applicable Creator. The Monetary Campaign Fee is non-refundable from the moment it is charged, including in the event the Campaign is subsequently cancelled, the Partnership does not proceed, the Creator does not complete deliverables, or the Campaign underperforms. The Monetary Campaign Fee is debited from the Business Wallet.

14.4 Subscription Tiers

Blaise offers four Business subscription tiers: Starter (free), Pro, Premium, and Enterprise. Each tier provides different levels of access to Platform features, analytics, and support, and determines the applicable QR transaction fee rate under Section 14.2. Current subscription pricing and feature details are published on the Platform and may be updated with thirty (30) days' notice. Paid subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis and renew automatically unless cancelled.

14.5 Wallet Funding Requirements

Before a Creator Slot on a Campaign that includes a Monetary Payment may be accepted, the Business Wallet must contain available funds sufficient to cover the Monetary Payment for that slot plus the associated Monetary Campaign Fee, as set forth in the Fee Schedule and displayed within the Platform before acceptance. Businesses running Commission-bearing Campaigns or Offers must additionally maintain a commission buffer in the amount set forth in the Fee Schedule. Blaise may decline Creator acceptances, pause Campaigns or Offers, or suspend redemption processing if the Business Wallet does not satisfy applicable funding requirements.

14.6 Subscription Cancellation & Refunds

A Business may cancel a paid subscription at any time through its account settings. Upon cancellation, the account reverts to the Starter (free) tier immediately, and the Business receives a prorated refund of the unused subscription period, calculated at the applicable monthly rate. Separately, new paid subscriptions are covered by a thirty (30) day money-back guarantee, which is administered through Blaise support upon request and review — it is not an automatic billing reversal. To request the money-back guarantee, contact support@joinblaise.com within thirty (30) days of initial subscription.

14.7 No Platform Fees for Creators & Customers

Creators and Customers are not charged platform fees for use of the Platform. However, all Users receiving payouts bear any third-party transfer fees imposed by their Payout Processor as described in Section 13.4. Blaise may modify the Fee Schedule on no less than thirty (30) days’ advance notice through the Platform. Fee changes will not apply retroactively to transactions already completed or fees already charged.

15. Creator Tier System

The Platform includes a Creator Tier System that ranks Creators based on their activity, engagement, and performance. The tier system consists of the following levels: Igniter, Catalyst, Powerhouse, and Idol. Each tier level carries benefits including potential bonus rewards and enhanced visibility. Tier scores are calculated based on multiple performance factors, as described in your dashboard. Scores are recalculated periodically. Tier assignments are subject to a lock period to provide stability and prevent frequent fluctuations.

Idol status is the highest Creator tier and requires administrative approval. Idol Creators may receive additional benefits, including earnings bonuses on qualifying transactions, as described on the Platform. Idol status may be revoked by Blaise at any time for violation of Platform policies or conduct inconsistent with the Idol program standards.

Blaise reserves the right to modify tier thresholds, scoring criteria, benefits, and the structure of the tier system at any time. Changes will be communicated to Creators through the Platform. For more information, visit the Tier Info page.

16. Referral Program

The Platform offers a Referral Program that rewards Users for referring new Users to the Platform. Referral rewards are subject to the following terms:

  • Each User receives a unique referral code. Referral credit is attributed when a new User registers using your referral code.
  • Referral bonuses are earned upon the referred User's completion of specified milestones (such as account verification, first QR redemption, or first Campaign).
  • Referral earnings are cash amounts credited to your referral earnings balance on the Platform. Referral earnings are payable — for Creators, Businesses, and Customers alike — via your connected Payout Processor (Stripe or PayPal) once your balance reaches the twenty-five dollar ($25) minimum payout threshold, subject to the payout requirements in Section 13 (including W-9 submission). Referral earnings below the threshold accumulate until the threshold is reached.
  • Referral earnings are taxable income. You are responsible for all applicable tax obligations associated with referral earnings.
  • Self-referrals, duplicate account creation, and other manipulation of the Referral Program are strictly prohibited and will result in forfeiture of referral rewards and potential account termination.
  • Blaise reserves the right to modify Referral Program terms, rewards, and eligibility at any time. Changes will be communicated through the Platform and will not reduce referral earnings already credited.

For details on how referral data is collected and used, see Privacy Policy Section 16.

17. Customer Wallet

The Customer Wallet is a read-only savings tracker within the Customer Dashboard. It displays informational metrics about your Platform activity, such as your available offers, total redemptions, total amount saved through redeemed discounts, and savings rate. The Customer Wallet is subject to the following terms:

  • The Customer Wallet is not a financial account. It does not hold monetary value, stored credits, or withdrawable funds of any kind. Amounts displayed as "saved" represent discounts you have received, not a balance owed to you.
  • QR codes and offers associated with your account are personal and non-transferable. Sharing, selling, or distributing QR codes to others is prohibited.
  • Referral earnings are not Customer Wallet balances. Referral earnings under Section 16 are cash amounts tracked separately in your referral earnings balance and payable in accordance with Sections 13 and 16.
  • Any promotional rewards or credits other than referral earnings, if offered, have no cash value and cannot be transferred, sold, or redeemed for cash unless expressly permitted by the specific reward terms.
  • Blaise reserves the right to correct or adjust Customer Wallet metrics in cases of fraud, error, or policy violation.
  • Customer Wallet data is retained in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

18. Data Sharing & Analytics

Participation in the Platform involves structured analytics sharing. By using the Platform, you consent to the collection and sharing of data as described in the Privacy Policy. Shared data may include:

  • Age range (five-year increments, not full date of birth)
  • ZIP code (not full mailing address)
  • Sex (if voluntarily provided)
  • Creator referral attribution
  • Redemption history
  • Purchase category data
  • Aggregated campaign performance metrics

Full date of birth and full mailing address remain internal to Blaise. Raw personal identifiers (full name, email, phone number) are not exported to Businesses. Businesses may not:

  • Attempt to re-identify individual Users
  • Combine Platform data with external data sources to identify Users
  • Contact Users outside the Platform using Platform analytics data
  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute analytics data
  • Use data for regulated decision-making (employment, credit, insurance, housing)
  • Use analytics data to train artificial intelligence or machine learning systems without prior written consent

Structured analytics data is licensed, not sold. Future API access requires a separate written agreement. For full details, see Privacy Policy Section 5.

19. Platform Messaging

The Platform provides in-app messaging functionality for communication between Users in connection with Campaigns, Offers, Partnerships, and Ambassadorships. All Platform messaging is subject to the Community Guidelines Section 6. Platform messages are not private communications. Blaise reserves the right to monitor, review, and moderate message content for the purposes of enforcing Platform policies, investigating abuse reports, detecting fraud, and maintaining Platform integrity. Messages are retained in accordance with the Privacy Policy Section 8. Users may not use Platform messaging to solicit or facilitate transactions outside the Platform, share other Users' personal information without consent, send spam or unsolicited commercial communications, or engage in harassment or abusive communication.

20. Content License

You retain ownership of all content you create and submit to the Platform ("User Content"), including profile information, pitches, campaign applications, portfolio samples, messages, and any other materials. By submitting User Content to the Platform, you grant Blaise a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, display, distribute, and create derivative works of your User Content solely in connection with operating, promoting, and improving the Platform. This license includes the right to display your User Content to other Users and to Businesses in connection with Campaigns, Offers, and analytics. This license survives termination of your account solely to the extent necessary to fulfill existing Campaigns, process pending transactions, and maintain Platform records. You may request deletion of your User Content in accordance with the Privacy Policy. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to submit all User Content and that your User Content does not infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any third party.

21. Prohibited Conduct

Users may not:

  • Engage in fraud, including self-redemption, coordinated redemption, or QR code manipulation
  • Bypass or circumvent Platform attribution on a Blaise-attributed sale, including (for Businesses) manually applying an Offer discount at the point of sale without processing the redemption through the Platform, or taking a Platform-originated customer relationship off-platform to avoid attribution or fees
  • Manipulate attribution systems, metrics, Creator Tier scores, or referral tracking
  • Use bots, scripts, or automated tools to interact with the Platform or inflate metrics
  • Create multiple accounts or false identities
  • Scrape, crawl, or reverse engineer Platform systems, algorithms, or data structures
  • Misrepresent identity, credentials, affiliation, or capabilities
  • Violate applicable advertising disclosure laws, including FTC Endorsement Guidelines
  • Violate applicable privacy, data protection, or consumer protection laws
  • Solicit Users to transact outside the Platform to circumvent attribution, fees, or commissions
  • Engage in any conduct that violates the Community Guidelines

Violation of this section may result in immediate suspension or termination (see Section 7) and forfeiture of pending Commissions and other pending funds. For Businesses, attribution bypass results in termination, forfeiture of pending funds, and immediate shutdown of all active Campaigns and Offers, as described in Sections 7.3 and 7.4.

22. Confidentiality

Users acknowledge that certain information accessed through the Platform constitutes Confidential Information of Blaise, including but not limited to:

  • Attribution algorithms and logic
  • Commission structures and calculation methodologies
  • QR code tracking and verification systems
  • Analytics methodologies and data models
  • Business performance data and analytics results
  • Creator Tier scoring algorithms and thresholds
  • Platform source code, architecture, and technical specifications

Users may not disclose, publish, or share Confidential Information with any third party without prior written consent from Blaise. Confidentiality obligations survive termination of this Agreement.

23. DMCA Policy

Blaise respects intellectual property rights and will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe that your copyrighted work has been infringed on the Platform, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent:

Designated DMCA Agent: Blaise App LLC – Legal Department, 248 NY-25A, Suite 5, Setauket-East Setauket, NY 11733. Email: legal@joinblaise.com

Repeat infringers are subject to account termination. For more information, see the Community Guidelines Section 8.3.

24. Artificial Intelligence

The Platform utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning systems provided by third-party providers for campaign drafting, pitch generation, fraud detection, content moderation, performance insights, and customer support assistance. Blaise does not intentionally transmit personal identifiers (names, email addresses, phone numbers) to AI providers. However, user-submitted free-text content may contain personal information that is processed by AI systems. AI-generated fraud flags and content moderation decisions are subject to human review before any adverse action is taken against a User's account. AI-assisted features (such as "Generate Pitch") are provided as tools to assist Users. Users are responsible for reviewing, personalizing, and verifying AI-generated content before submission or publication. For full details on AI data practices, see Privacy Policy Section 6.2.

25. Feedback

If you provide Blaise with feedback, suggestions, ideas, or recommendations regarding the Platform or its features ("Feedback"), you grant Blaise a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and incorporate such Feedback into the Platform without obligation to you. Feedback is provided voluntarily. Blaise is under no obligation to implement, use, or compensate you for any Feedback. You agree not to submit Feedback that contains confidential information of any third party.

26. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. BLAISE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. BLAISE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. BLAISE DOES NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR RELIABILITY OF ANY CONTENT, DATA, OR INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE PLATFORM.

27. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BLAISE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM.

Blaise's total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Platform shall not exceed:

29.3 Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

YOU AND BLAISE AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
