Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

These Terms govern your use of Blink and the related services (the “Service”) provided by Theta Advisory Inc. (“Theta”, “we”, “us”). By creating an account, subscribing, or using the Service you agree to them. If you are using the Service for an organization, you confirm you have authority to bind that organization.

The Service is still listed as PostLedger; the rename to Blink is in progress. Theta Advisory Inc. is the contracting party under these Terms.

2. The Service

• Schedule calculation, governance and automation.
• Journal entry creation and approval workflow.
• Integration with third-party accounting systems (Xero, QuickBooks Online).
• Excel and Word add-in interfaces, and a web portal.
• Audit trail and compliance reporting.

3. Accounts

• Registration information must be accurate and current.
• You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential, and for what happens under your account.
• Tell us immediately if you believe your account has been used without your authorisation.
• One account per person. Shared or generic credentials are not permitted, and defeat the separation-of-duties control the Service exists to enforce.

4. Subscription and billing

4.1 Plans

• The Service is sold per seat, billed monthly in advance.
• Prices are published in the application and may change with 30 days’ notice.

4.4 Cancellation

• Cancel at any time from the Billing panel. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

4.5 Overdue payment

• If a payment fails, the subscription enters a grace period in which write operations may be restricted while we retry the payment method on file.

• You may disconnect an integration at any time, from either side.

7. Audit trail

• The Service keeps an append-only audit log of actions taken within it.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of the Service will not exceed the fees you paid in the twelve months before the claim.

10. Indemnification
