Amadeus and Blinkoo partner up 🤝

1. Introduction

These Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”) set forth the terms under which Blinkoo S.r.l. (“Blinkoo”, “we”, “us” or “our”) provides access to and use of the self‑service platform available at portal.blinkoo.com (the “Platform”). 

By creating an account, completing an order form or otherwise using the Platform, you (the “Contractor”) acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by this Agreement, including all specifications and order forms that may be incorporated herein.  The Agreement forms a legally binding contract between Blinkoo and the Contractor and prevails over any other terms, unless expressly agreed in writing.  Signature of the Order Form or electronic acceptance constitutes acceptance of these Terms.

2. Definitions

The following terms have the meanings set out below:

Contractor – The company identified in the order form which enters into this Agreement to use the Services.

Platform – The portal.blinkoo.com platform, consisting of databases, tools and software applications developed by Blinkoo for provision of the Services.

Services – All services offered through the Platform, including content access, software features, hosting and maintenance.

Content – Any videos, data or other materials contained in Blinkoo’s database of user‑generated content created by Blinkoo’s community of influencers, professional content creators, travellers and users.

Media View – A single viewing of Content, measured according to the metrics of the relevant publishing channel.

Authorized Domains – The web domains or properties on which streaming of Content is permitted.

Plan – The type of Services selected by the Contractor in the order form based on functionality, volume and characteristics of the Services.

Credentials – The login credentials (email and password) used to access the Platform.

3. Scope of the Services

3.1 Provision of Services.  

Blinkoo grants the Contractor a non‑exclusive, non‑transferable right to access and use the Platform and the Content during the term of this Agreement, in accordance with the chosen Plan and these Terms.  Blinkoo reserves all rights not expressly granted.

3.2 Eligibility. 

The Platform is intended solely for business use by companies.  Blinkoo may verify information provided in the order form and may refuse to accept an order at its discretion.

3.3 Account Registration. 

Access requires creating an account on portal.blinkoo.com using a company email address.  The email and password constitute the Contractor’s Credentials.  The Contractor is responsible for all actions taken under its Credentials and must safeguard them from unauthorized use.

3.4 Authorized Domains and Streaming.  

Streaming is permitted only on Authorized Domains.  The Contractor is responsible for maintaining the list of Authorized Domains.  Blinkoo may block access from unauthorized domains.  For Content streamed via the Platform on Authorized Domains, usage rights are included in the per‑gigabyte (GB) fee.

3.5 Lite, Standard and Enhanced Licences.  Blinkoo currently offers three licence tiers:

Lite License (entry‑level): A perpetual, worldwide licence for use of Content across the Contractor’s websites, apps and social channels.  The licence includes up to 50 K Media Views.  It is designed for small companies, and once the view limit is exceeded the Contractor must upgrade to a Standard or Enhanced licence.

Standard License: A perpetual, worldwide licence for all channels (social, advertising, websites, apps, events, TV/OOH).  It includes up to 1 M Media Views.  If this threshold is exceeded, the Contractor may upgrade to the Enhanced License.

Enhanced License: A perpetual, worldwide licence for all channels with no Media View limit.

Media Views are counted according to the metrics of the relevant channel and may differ between platforms.  Blinkoo does not perform proactive monitoring but reserves the right to perform post‑contract documentation checks.

4. Use of the Platform and Content

4.1 Permitted Use.  The Contractor may use the Platform and Content solely for its internal business purposes and in accordance with the licensed Media View limits.  Any derivative works created from the Content remain subject to the same licence restrictions.

4.2 Prohibited Use.  The Contractor must not:

Resell, sublicense, transfer or otherwise distribute the Platform or Content to any third party.
Use automated tools or platforms that would result in transfer of intellectual property rights in the Content.
Modify, translate, decompile or reverse engineer any software or components of the Platform.
Use Content outside Authorized Domains or in combination with immoral, illegal, defamatory or misleading materials.

4.3 Monitoring and Controls.  

Blinkoo may implement technical measures such as watermarking or fingerprinting to monitor the correct use of the Services.  Upon reasonable request Blinkoo may request evidence of Media Views and Authorized Domains.

5. Fees and Payment

5.1 Fees.  The Contractor shall pay the fees specified in the applicable Plan.  Fees may include:

Credit‑based licences.  Credits are prepaid units used to download Content for off‑platform use.  According to the Order Form, 25 credits correspond to a Standard License and 50 credits to an Enhanced License.  Credits are non‑refundable, non‑exchangeable for cash and transferable only if authorized by Blinkoo.

Expiration of credits.  Credits generally remain valid for twelve (12) months after the date of purchase.  However, for credits acquired under a subscription or other recurring plan, the credits expire at the end of the subscription period (the initial term or any renewal term) on which they were purchased.  Any unused credits remaining after the relevant validity period—whether twelve months or the end of the subscription term—will automatically be forfeited and cannot be redeemed for services or cash.

GB‑based streaming.  The per‑GB fee includes CDN egress, proprietary player, API and basic analytics.  For streaming on Authorized Domains, no additional per‑video licence is required.  GBs are metered month‑to‑month and overages are billed at the unit price indicated in the Specifications.

Fees are payable in accordance with the payment terms specified in the Order Form.  Failure to pay any amounts when due may result in suspension or termination of the Services.

5.2 Price Changes.  Blinkoo may update its price lists or discounts with prior written notice, typically at least 30 days.
