Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of InkLinka's websites, software, hosted applications, APIs, communication features, integrations, payment-related tooling, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
Last updated: March 11, 2026
These Terms are intended to define InkLinka as a software and infrastructure provider only, and to allocate operational, legal, regulatory, payment, tax, customer-facing, and recordkeeping responsibility to the businesses and users that operate through the Services.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes non-waivable rights or liabilities to the extent such rights or liabilities cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, activating a workspace, or permitting any user to access the Services through your account, workspace, tenant, or organization, you agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of yourself and, where applicable, the business or organization you represent.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.
If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a business or organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity.
2. Business Use Only
The Services are offered for business and professional use only and are not intended for personal, family, or household use.
You represent and warrant that you are using the Services in connection with a business, professional, commercial, or organizational activity and not as a consumer acting primarily for personal use.
3. InkLinka Role
InkLinka provides software, hosting, workflow tools, integrations, and technical infrastructure only.
InkLinka is not:

- a clinic, studio operator, merchant of record, employer, staffing agency, escrow provider, trustee, fiduciary, or records custodian for your business;
- responsible for the acts, omissions, services, conduct, pricing, quality, safety, legality, licensing, promises, or customer treatment of any studio, artist, manager, operator, contractor, employee, workspace member, or customer.
InkLinka does not supervise procedures, verify qualifications, monitor licensing, validate legal compliance, guarantee service outcomes, or assume responsibility for appointments, deposits, invoices, refunds, chargebacks, payouts, taxes, classifications, disclosures, waivers, or customer communications generated or managed through the Services.
4. Customer Operational Responsibility
You are solely responsible for your business operations and all uses of the Services under your account, workspace, tenant, or credentials.
You are solely responsible for:

- reviewing whether the Services are suitable for your business and legal environment.
Any workflows, templates, reminders, automations, reports, dashboards, messaging tools, or payment-related features made available through the Services are provided for convenience only and do not replace independent professional judgment, legal review, accounting review, regulatory review, compliance controls, or backup procedures.
5. Eligibility and Account Security
You must provide accurate, current, and complete registration information and keep it updated.
You are responsible for:
- maintaining the confidentiality of your passwords, access codes, API keys, and authentication credentials;
- restricting access to authorized users only;

You must promptly notify InkLinka of any unauthorized access, compromise, or suspected security incident involving your account or workspace.
6. User Data and Content
You retain responsibility for all data, content, files, messages, forms, records, notes, media, invoices, reports, settings, customer information, and business information submitted to, stored in, transmitted through, or generated through the Services ("User Data").
You represent and warrant that:
- you have all rights, permissions, authorizations, notices, disclosures, and lawful bases necessary to collect, use, upload, process, store, transmit, and share all User Data;
- your User Data and your use of the Services do not violate law, third-party rights, contractual obligations, privacy rights, intellectual property rights, or professional duties;
- you will maintain your own legally required records and not rely on the Services as your sole legally required archive unless expressly agreed by InkLinka in writing.
InkLinka is not responsible for reviewing User Data for legality, accuracy, completeness, adequacy, retention compliance, or regulatory fitness.
7. Sensitive, Regulated, and High-Risk Use
Unless InkLinka expressly agrees otherwise in a separate written agreement, you must not rely on the Services as a certified or guaranteed environment for:
- regulated medical records,
- emergency services,
- legal trust records,
- official government filing systems,
- guaranteed tax or accounting compliance,
- guaranteed employment compliance,
- guaranteed consumer law compliance,
- irreplaceable archives for which independent backup is not maintained,
- any use requiring uninterrupted availability, certified retention, or fail-safe operation.
You are solely responsible for deciding whether to upload or process health-related, biometric, identity, tax, employment, payment, consent-related, or other sensitive or regulated information through the Services.
InkLinka may, but is not required to, restrict, suspend, remove, quarantine, refuse, or delete data, files, or workflows that it believes create legal, security, fraud, abuse, infrastructure, or compliance risk.

11. Availability, Changes, and Backups
InkLinka may modify, update, replace, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time.
Where commercially reasonable, InkLinka may provide notice of material planned changes, but InkLinka may take immediate action without prior notice where it reasonably believes such action is necessary for security, fraud prevention, abuse prevention, infrastructure protection, legal compliance, payment risk management, or operational integrity.
The Services are not guaranteed to be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or compatible with all devices, browsers, integrations, networks, or third-party environments.
You are solely responsible for maintaining your own backups, exports, records, and continuity measures for any data or workflows material to your business, customers, legal compliance, accounting, tax, operations, or disputes.
12. Data Retention, Access, and Deletion
InkLinka may retain, disable access to, export, delete, preserve, or restrict User Data and account-related information in accordance with its systems, retention practices, legal obligations, security needs, billing status, dispute handling needs, fraud prevention requirements, backup architecture, and internal enforcement processes.
Following suspension or termination:
- your access to the Services may cease immediately;
- InkLinka may delete or anonymize User Data after a commercially reasonable period or earlier where permitted or required;
- InkLinka may retain data where reasonably necessary for legal compliance, tax, accounting, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, security, backup restoration cycles, or enforcement of these Terms.
InkLinka has no obligation to store, maintain, or recover User Data for your benefit except to the extent required by applicable law or expressly agreed in writing.
13. Intellectual Property
InkLinka and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services, software, interfaces, workflows, documentation, visual design, branding, know-how, and related intellectual property.
Subject to these Terms and payment of all applicable fees, InkLinka grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Services for your internal business operations during the applicable subscription term.

- a third-party provider requires restriction or termination;
- continued provision of the Services is no longer commercially or operationally reasonable.
