Bluescape Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: Wednesday, November 16, 2022
 
Thought Stream LLC, dba Bluescape (“Bluescape”) has developed the Bluescape Service, a web-based service that provides certain features and functionalities designed to facilitate enterprise project teams working within a collaborative visual workspace in real time and manage associated collaborative workflows (the “Bluescape Service”).
Bluescape has two different types of users depending on the Bluescape Service used: Customers who use the free version of the Bluescape Service are called “Freemium Users.” While Freemium Users can access and use the Bluescape Service, they have access to a more limited set of Bluescape Service features and functionality than Subscribers.
Customers who use the Bluescape Service as part of a paid Bluescape subscription plan (“Subscription Plan” or “Additional Services”) are called a “Subscriber.” The two types of users are collectively referred to as “Customer” or “you” for purposes of these Terms and Conditions.
 
The Terms and Conditions (“Terms” or “Agreement”) are a legal agreement between Bluescape and you governing the right to access and/or use Bluescape Service whether directly from Bluescape or indirectly through one of its resellers (in either case, “Seller”).
 
By accepting the Terms, you represent and warrant that you are over the age of 16 have the authority to enter into this Agreement, and you are agreeing to be bound by all the Terms. By use or access of the Bluescape Service, Customer agrees to the Terms. If you do not agree, Customer will not access or use the Bluescape Service. Please note that if you have a separate written agreement with Bluescape for your access and use of the Bluescape Service, then to the extent that the terms and conditions of the prior written agreement directly contradict the Terms, the terms and conditions of the prior written agreement will govern.
