Welcome to Star Blink. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy our service for years to come. The following Terms of Service are necessary to allow us to provide you with the best possible experience and are intended to:
- Outline the Code of Conduct for all members of the service
- Protect users from those few individuals who act in an inappropriate or fraudulent manner
- Maintain the integrity of the data collected
- Share information with our users in an honest, upfront manner
The following terms apply to you and your use of the Star Blink service. You are required to agree to these terms to become a part of the Star Blink community. These terms may be amended or changed unilaterally at any time by Star Blink without prior notification to you. We will place a notice on the site alerting you to a change in the terms. The new terms will become binding on all members from the time they are first displayed on the site. Violation of these terms may lead to termination of your membership and exclusion from future use of the service. The following constitute the rules of conduct on the Star Blink web site.
Introduction
This Agreement is a legal document which sets out your rights and obligations, and those of 'Vogue-Affairs.com.sg', 'Star Blink', 'we' or 'us', in relation to this site and the services offered by Star Blink through it (the 'Star Blink Service'). You must take the time to read and understand it, before registering for the Star Blink Service. By registering, you accept that you are entering into a contract with us on the terms of this Agreement. Visitors to the Star Blink Service who do not register to become a Member (see below) similarly affirm that they are bound by this Agreement each time they access the Star Blink Service. You should be aware that this Agreement may change from time to time.
Intellectual Property
You acknowledge that all copyright, trade marks, and other intellectual property rights in and relating to the Star Blink Service (including the material which is contributed by Members) are owned by Star Blink. It is easy to copy material which appears on web-sites, but this does not mean it is legal. Therefore, no-one may copy, distribute, show in public or create any derivative work from the Star Blink Service, or any of the material which is found on the Star Blink Service unless properly licensed to do so by us. By submitting any material or content to the Star Blink Service, you:
are representing that you are fully entitled to do so; grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-terminable license right to copy, modify, distribute, show in public and create derivative works from that material in any form, anywhere; and Authorize us to adapt the relevant material in the course of doing so, and so waive your moral rights to object to any derogatory treatment, or to be identified as the author, of the material in question.
Membership
People who register for the Star Blink Service become 'Members'. The Membership divides between those who decide to be vendor to become what we call a 'Vendor', and those who do not ('Standard Members').
Standard members may personalize their profile and order from our online store.
Term and Termination
Star Blink reserves the right to terminate your access to the site for any reason or no reason. Star Blink may terminate your membership upon sending notice to you at the email address you provide in your application for membership or such other email address as you may later provide to us.
We may add new or ancillary services from time to time which require the payment of fees - either to us or a nominated third party - on terms which will be provided to you at the time.
Registration
You undertake to register for the Star Blink Service using accurate and current information about yourself - including your correct name, address and any other requested details. You also undertake only to add yourself to a place of residence on the Star Blink which you resided at the relevant time. As part of the registration process for the Star Blink Service, you will receive a verification email, the purpose of which is to take reasonable steps to ensure that the email address you have nominated during registration is controlled by you. That email contains simple instructions which you must follow.
Privacy Policy
Star Blink's Privacy Policy forms part of this Agreement, and by agreeing to this Agreement, you also give your consent to the way we may handle your personal data in that policy. Given the global nature of the World Wide Web, any posting on the Star Blink Service (including any which contain personal information) is, of course, accessible to internet users around the world.
Star Blink’s Role
You acknowledge that we are not and cannot be responsible for the behavior of Members - whether on the Star Blink Service or outside of it. We only provide a venue where the Star Blink Service may be accessed. In particular, you should be aware that Star Blink does not pre-screen or monitor the material contributed by Members.
Additional Services
Star Blink or its affiliates may offer new or additional services through the Star Blink Service from time to time. Your use of those services may be subject to additional terms and conditions, or rules of use, which you must comply with. Provided that those terms or rules are notified to you on the Star Blink Service in an appropriate manner (as determined by Star Blink in its reasonable discretion), any failure by you to comply with a material provision of the terms or rules governing those services will amount to a breach of this Agreement.
Operation of Star Blink Services
Star Blink reserves the right to withdraw or modify one or more aspects of the Star Blink Service, or the entirety of it, where we have legal or commercial reasons to do so. There may also be times when the Star Blink Service becomes inaccessible as a result of technical difficulties experienced by Star Blink or on the Internet; we will, however, use reasonable skill and care to overcome these difficulties where they are within our control. For security or other reasons, we may require you to change password or other information which facilitates access to the Star Blink Service.

We reserve the right (a) to suspend or terminate any Member's access to the Star Blink Service, or parts of it, and/or (b) to edit, or require the Member to edit, material posted on the Star Blink Service, if the relevant Member or material appears to us to be in breach of any provision of this Agreement.
