Terms of Service

1. Introduction

Welcome to the JinPad Avalanche Program, a pioneering initiative by J-Wadel Solutions ("we", "us", or "our"), meticulously designed to guide small businesses through the transformation from fragmented Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) dependencies to achieving digital independence. This Terms of Service Agreement ("Agreement") is a binding contract between you ("Client", "you", or "your") and J-Wadel Solutions, governing your participation in the JinPad Avalanche program and your use of the associated platform, including but not limited to the website, mobile application, services, software, and infrastructure provided (collectively, the "Service").

The JinPad Avalanche Program is structured into three strategic stages:

  • ESC101 - Infrastructure and Application Setup: This foundational stage involves the delivery of a customizable platform tailored to streamline your operations and integrate existing SaaS tools, providing the bedrock for digital independence.
  • ESC201 - SaaS Monitoring & Feature Development Planning: At this stage, we offer continued support through SaaS aggregation and documentation dashboards, virtual events, and planning activities to enhance operational efficiency and prepare for feature development.
  • ESC301 - Continuous Feature Development & Delivery: Focused on the actualization of your digital transformation, this stage allows you to choose between flexible development models for the creation and integration of custom features into your platform.

By accessing or using the Service in any capacity, including browsing the website or utilizing the JinPad Avalanche app for application and correspondence, you agree to be bound by this Agreement, inclusive of all terms, conditions, policies, and notices stated here.

Acceptance and Modification: This Agreement is subject to acceptance at the point of use and may be periodically updated or modified by J-Wadel Solutions at its sole discretion. It is your responsibility to review the Agreement regularly for changes. Continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes your consent to the updated terms.

Scope: This Agreement comprehensively covers your interaction with the Service, outlining the legal framework for the use of the JinPad Avalanche platform, engagement in program activities across all stages (ESC101, ESC201, ESC301), and the application process through the JinPad Avalanche app.

Please read this Agreement carefully before engaging with the Service. If you do not agree with the terms outlined, you should refrain from using the Service. This Agreement is deemed an offer by J-Wadel Solutions, with acceptance explicitly limited to these terms.
