Terms of Service

Effective: July 15, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you ("you," "your," or "user") and the operator of blinkq ("blinkq," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, downloading, installing, or using blinkq, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our Services.

If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

You must be at least 16 years old to use our Services.

2. Description of Services

blinkq provides real-time sales coaching through a desktop application that:

  • Transcribes audio from your microphone and system audio during active calls
  • Analyzes conversation context using AI to generate coaching hints
  • Displays hints on a private overlay visible only to you
  • Provides post-call analysis and debrief reports

blinkq does not join your calls as a participant. We do not store the original audio. Audio is transmitted only as necessary for real-time speech-to-text processing during active sessions.

Important: blinkq is a coaching tool, not a call recording service. Original audio is processed in real time and is not stored. Text transcripts and derived analysis may be stored according to your account preferences and our Privacy Policy.

3. Your Account

3.1 Account Creation

To use blinkq, you must create an account with accurate and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities under your account.

3.2 Account Security

You agree to:

  • Use a strong, unique password
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access
  • Not share your account credentials with others
  • Not attempt to access accounts you don't own

3.3 Account Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for:

  • The accuracy of your account information
  • All activities that occur under your account
  • Ensuring your use complies with these Terms

4. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to use blinkq to:

  • Violate laws or regulations: Use the service for illegal purposes or in violation of any applicable law
  • Infringe intellectual property: Use content that infringes on third-party copyrights, trademarks, or patents
  • Harass or discriminate: Generate hints promoting harassment, discrimination, or illegal discrimination
  • Collect data illegally: Use blinkq to capture audio or data without proper consent
  • Attempt unauthorized access: Probe, scan, or breach security measures
  • Interfere with service: Overload, crash, or disrupt our infrastructure
  • Resell the service: Sublicense, resell, or provide access to blinkq without authorization

4.1 Recording Laws Compliance

You are responsible for complying with applicable call recording laws in your jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions require consent from all parties before recording conversations. blinkq does not record calls — it processes audio in real-time for coaching. However, if you enable post-call transcription storage, you must ensure compliance with applicable laws.

Consult the Consent Guide for jurisdiction-specific requirements.

5. Payment & Billing

blinkq is currently offered as a beta without paid subscription billing. If paid plans are introduced, the price, renewal terms, cancellation process, and any applicable taxes will be presented before you authorize a purchase. We will not begin charging an existing beta account without your affirmative acceptance.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Our Intellectual Property

blinkq and its content, features, functionality, software, and documentation are owned by us and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use blinkq for its intended purpose. You do not acquire any ownership rights.

6.2 Your Content

You retain ownership of content you input into blinkq (product descriptions, ICP, playbook content). You grant us a limited license to use this content to provide the Services.

6.3 Feedback

If you provide suggestions, ideas, or feedback about our Services, we may use them without obligation to you.

6.4 Trademarks

The blinkq name, logo, and related marks are our trademarks. You may not use them without prior written permission.

7. Privacy & Data

Your privacy is important to us. Please review our Privacy Policy for details on how we collect, use, and protect your information. By using our Services, you agree to our data practices as described in the Privacy Policy.

This limitation applies regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise.
