InvitedBy Terms of Use

1. What the Site is

The Site describes the InvitedBy service and shows what an invitation card looks like. It also hosts the page each card points to, where a recipient can verify, accept, or decline the invitation; the page where a brand’s customer agrees to lend their name to cards; and a portal for the brands we work with. Nothing on the Site is an offer, and no campaign, price, or service is agreed until a brand signs an order form with us; that order form and the service terms it incorporates govern the campaign, not this page. Prices shown on the Site are our current list prices and can change; the price on a signed order governs that campaign.

2. Sample cards are samples

Cards shown on the Site are illustrations. The brands, people, offers, and card numbers on them are fictional or used with permission, and no sample is a real invitation.

3. If you received a card

A card is an invitation from the person named on it, paid for by the brand named on it. Any reward, discount, or offer on the card comes from that brand, under that brand’s own terms and conditions. Accepting it creates a relationship between you and the brand, not between you and us, and we are not a party to any purchase you make. You can decline any invitation at no cost and with no explanation, as described in our Privacy Policy.

4. If you lend your name

When you approve a card, the release shown on that page is the agreement between you, the brand, and us about what may be printed and shown. You can withdraw at any time from the link in your confirmation email; cards in a campaign that has not yet gone to print are stopped, and cards in one that has cannot be recalled. Any reward comes from the brand’s referral program under the brand’s rules, for accepted invitations, and never depends on what you wrote.

5. Using the Site

You may use the Site for its intended purpose: learning about InvitedBy, evaluating it for your brand, checking on, accepting, or declining a card you received, or responding to an invitation to lend your name. You will not scrape or systematically copy the Site; guess, generate, or test card numbers, or otherwise probe or disrupt the Site’s security; misrepresent who you are or claim an invitation that wasn’t sent to you; or upload malicious code. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without restriction or obligation.

6. What’s ours

The Site, its content, the InvitedBy name and wordmark, the card designs and formats, and the way the service works are owned by Blackjay, LLC or its licensors. Brands’ names and marks on real cards belong to those brands. Don’t use ours without written permission, and don’t make anything that could be mistaken for an InvitedBy card.

7. No warranties; limited liability

THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE SITE, AND OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED US $100. Some jurisdictions don’t allow some of these limits, so some may not apply to you. Campaign services for brands are covered by the order form and service terms, not by this section.

8. Disputes

Talk first. Before any formal proceeding, email us a description of the dispute (we’ll do the same to you) and give the other side 30 days to resolve it.

Then arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or the Site that isn’t resolved informally will be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator under the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association, seated in Washington, D.C. (hearings may be by video). Judgment on the award may be entered in any court.

Individual claims only. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If this class waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) proceeds in court.

Carve-outs and time limit. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, or seek injunctive relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property. No claim may be brought more than one year after it accrues.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the District of Columbia, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. For anything not subject to arbitration, the state and federal courts in Washington, D.C. have exclusive jurisdiction, and both of us consent to them.

10. The fine print

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement about the Site. If any provision is unenforceable, it is enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the rest stands. We may assign these terms to an affiliate or to a successor in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Links to third-party sites, including brands’ sites, are not endorsements, and their terms and policies are their own.

11. Changes

We may update these terms by posting a revised version with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Site after a change takes effect means you accept it.
