Overview of our Services

To ensure the quality of the BLACKLINE PARTNERS experience we have set up our terms of service for our mutual benefit. If you violate these rules it will mean you've broken the terms of service and this may result in a termination of your account.

Tasks and concierge requests are non-transferable. You cannot sell or give away tasks on your plan but you are more than free to buy a plan for your friends, family and loved ones—they'll love you and so will we. Your BLACKLINE account is also non-transferable. That means if one person signs up, you cannot transfer ownership of that account to another person.

All BLACKLINE VIRTUAL ASSISTANT plans are governed by a monthly hour limit by plan type. If these hours are unused by the next billing cycle, the hours will not carry over to the next cycle.

All bLACKLINE plans are recurring subscriptions that can be canceled at any time.

Any agreement or attempted agreement between client and assistant, in connection with a service contract, requiring that payment be made outside of BLACKLINE PARTNERS shall constitute a material breach of this agreement and be subject to cancellation without refund.

Requests & Tasks

Each request (task) must be submitted by phone, email or SMS. Please send your requests individually: this means that each communication you have with your assistant should contain one, defined, task. You're more than welcome to submit multiple tasks at one time, but we ask that you create a separate email for each. This ensures the fastest possible turn around for each task.

If you ever feel like your service could be better, you can contact us by telephone or email us at INFO@BLACKLINEPARTNERS.NET. Agreeing to these terms of service means you understand and agree to keep your tasks within the scope of our business.
