Last Updated: October 11, 2021
This agreement contains disclaimers of warranties, limitations on liability, releases, a class-action waiver, and the requirement to mediate and arbitrate all claims that may arise under this agreement. These provisions are an essential basis of this agreement.
This is a legally binding agreement between you and the owner of Fancentro.com, including any successor or affiliated company or entity. You must be at least 18-years old and have reached the age of majority and legal consent in the jurisdiction in which you live or reside to agree to this agreement. By clicking on the words “I agree,” “Submit,” or similar syntax, you are electronically signing this agreement, and therefore agree to be bound by and acknowledge your complete acceptance of all the express and incorporated terms of this agreement. If you do not agree to this agreement or do not meet the age requirements, you must not register.
No Prostitution or Sex Trafficking. The promotion of prostitution, escort services, personal companions, etc. are contrary to the purposes of Fancentro.com and will not be tolerated in any fashion. Promoting or offering prostitution or escort services on the Fancentro.com website is strictly prohibited. Profiles that are used to promote prostitution or escort services in any way will be immediately disabled. This includes the use of hyperlinks to external websites promoting prostitution, URLs promoting prostitution, and any other activity that Fancentro.com considers as promotions or offers.
This creator agreement is between CENTRO PUBLISHER LIMITED, a limited company formed under the laws of the Marshall Islands (“Company”), and you, the individual or entity signing up as a creator (“Creator”).
The Company owns and operates the social media content sharing website known as fancentro.com (“Website”), which provides creators with billing solutions, advertising media, storage, hosting, and virtual webspace (collectively, “Services”) through a proprietary web interface to monetize their content and interact with their fans (“Fans”).
The Creator wants to use the Website and the Services to monetize content and interact with Fans.
The parties therefore agree as follows:
  1. Applicability. The Website’s Terms-of-Service Agreement sets out the general terms of the Creator’s use of the Website. This agreement governs the Creator’s use of the Website and the Services to monetize the Creator’s content and interact with Fans. If any inconsistency exists between the statements in this agreement and the Website’s Terms-of-Service Agreement, the statements in this agreement will control.
  2. Enrollment
    1. Eligibility. To register, the Creator must be either (a) an individual who (i) is at least 18-years old (or the age of majority if higher) and (ii) has the legal capacity to enter into legally binding contracts; or (b) an entity that (i) is duly organized in its jurisdiction of organization and (ii) has the power and authority to enter into legally binding contracts.
    2. Registration. The Creator must complete the registration form and submit a copy of their valid government-issued picture identification (in color) that contains the Creator’s or its authorized agent’s full legal name, date of birth, and expiration date for age and identity verification purposes. If the Creator is in the United States, the Creator must also submit a completed W-9 Form. The Creator authorizes the Company to verify the validity of the Creator’s or its authorized agent’s government-issued picture identification with a third-party verification service.
    3. Statements of Fact. By registering, the Creator states that the following facts are accurate: (a) all account registration information is accurate (and will continue to be accurate during this agreement); (b) if the Creator previously had an account, the Creator’s old account was not terminated or suspended by the Company for violation of this agreement or the Terms-of-Service Agreement; (c) the Creator’s registration is for the Creator’s use, and the Creator must not otherwise sell, rent, or transfer the Creator’s account to any third party; and (d) the Creator must not use any third-party payment processors to accept payments for any Creator Offerings.
  3. CPL Fees. The Creator must pay the Company a fee equal to 20% of all Fan Payments made to the Creator (exclusive of any VAT element of the Fan Payment) (“CPL Fee”). The remaining 80% of the Fan Payment (exclusive of any VAT element of the Fan Payment) is payable to the Creator (“Creator Earnings”). The CPL Fee includes the Company’s costs of providing, supporting, and operating the Website and storing the Creator Content. The Company deducts the CPL Fee from the Fan Payment, and the Creator Earnings are paid to the Creator in the manner described in section 7.1. For purposes of this agreement, (a) “Fan Payment” means all payments made by a Fan to a Creator, including payments for access to a Creator’s Creator Offerings, for interaction with the Creator, to procure new Creator Content from the Creator, to subscribe to the Creator’s account or third-party social media account, to use the fan interaction function on the Creator’s account, and any tips paid by a Fan to the Creator; and (b) “VAT” means European Union or United Kingdom value added tax and any other tax imposed in addition to or in substitution for it at the rate from time to time imposed and any equivalent or similar governmental, state, federal, provincial, or municipal indirect tax, charge, duty, impost, or levy in any other jurisdiction.

The Creator must not select a username that is offensive or infringes another person’s service mark, trademark, or trade name.
    2. Creator Model Subaccounts.

Creators solely determine the schedule and the methods, details, and means of creating Creator Content. The Creator will supply, at its own expense, all clothing, make-up, accessories, tools, equipment, and instrumentalities needed to produce the Creator Content. The Creator acknowledges that the Company merely provides the Creator the means to distribute the Creator Content through the Website. The Creator Content must not include third-party intellectual property (such as copyrighted material) unless the Creator has a written license or consent from that person or is otherwise legally entitled to do so (i.e., fair use). By uploading Creator Content depicting the Creator or the Creator Models, the Creator (a) consents to be depicted in the Creator Content; (b) consents to allow for the public distribution of the Creator Content and to upload the Creator Content to the Website; and (c) if the Creator Content will be made available for downloading by Fans or other users, consents to have the Creator Content downloaded.

Any such revenue-sharing agreement is an independent, private agreement between the Creator and the other individuals depicted in that Co-Authored Creator Content, and the Company is not responsible for supplying or enforcing any such agreements. The Creator acknowledges that the Creator is not entitled to any Creator Earnings earned on any Co-Authored Creator Content in which the Creator appears, but which is posted on another creator’s account. If the Creator posts Co-Authored Creator Content on the Creator’s account, the Company may require the Creator provide valid and complete legal information for all individuals who appear in the Co-Authored Creator Content.

      2. Creator License Grant to the Company. The Creator hereby grants the Company, its affiliates, service providers, and each of their and the Company’s respective licensees a worldwide, sublicensable, transferrable license to stream, host, cache, route, transmit, store, copy, modify, distribute, publicly perform and display (through all media now known or later created), reformat, excerpt, analyze, create algorithms based on, prepare derivative works of, sell, exploit, and otherwise use the Creator Content and any associated trademarks, service marks, or trade names solely in connection with the Website and the Company’s business, including for (a) displaying the Creator Content on the Website; (b) allowing Fans to view, stream, or download (where enabled) the Creator Content (as applicable); and (c) promoting the Creator Profile, the Creator Content, and the Creator Offerings on the Website and on the Company’s social media accounts. This license includes the right to reproduce, distribute, display, perform, create derivative works, or otherwise exploit the Creator Content in proximity with or in connection with any third-party content, including advertisements.
      3. Creator License Grant to Fans. The Creator hereby grants each Fan who obtains access to the Creator Content through the Creator’s account on the Website or through the Creator’s private third-party social media account a worldwide, nonexclusive license to access the Creator Content through the Website or the Creator’s private third-party social media account, and to use that Creator Content, including to display, stream, download, and perform it, only as enabled by the Website’s features (such as video playback or download). This license does not grant any rights or permissions for a Fan to use the Creator Content independent of the Website or the Creator’s private third-party social media account, except to download a single copy of the Creator Content if enabled by a feature of the Website for the Fan’s own personal, noncommercial use and not for further reproduction, publication, or distribution.
      4. License Duration. The licenses granted by the Creator continue for a commercially reasonable period after the Creator removes the Creator Content from the Creator’s account or private third-party social media account, except that the license granted to Fans in section 6.12(c) does not terminate for downloaded Creator Content so long as the Fan is not otherwise in breach of the Website Terms-of-Service Agreement or the Standard Agreement between Fan and Creator. Although the Company facilitates transactions and interactions between Fans and the Creator by providing the Website, hosting and storing Creator Content, and acting as a payment intermediary, the Company is not a party to the Standard Agreement between Fan and Creator. The Creator acknowledges that the Company may keep, but not display, distribute, or perform, server copies of the removed Creator Content.
      5. Use of Creator’s Name, Likeness, and Information. The Creator hereby grants the Company and its affiliates, and each of their respective direct and indirect successors, licensees, and assigns the right to use the Creator’s fictitious name, image, likeness, and biographical and professional information, including information the Creator provides to the Company and any other information publicly available about the Creator, in connection with the Website, the Creator Content, and the Creator Offerings, including advertising and promoting the Website, the Creator Profile, the Creator Content, and the Creator Offerings, throughout the universe and in any medium or format now existing or later developed without further consent from or any royalty, payment, or other compensation to the Creator. The Creator acknowledges that the Creator’s name and likeness may appear on websites containing adult-oriented content, including content that the Creator might consider obscene, indecent, offensive, or otherwise objectionable. The Creator waives any right to inspect or approve the Company’s use of the Creator’s name and likeness. In addition, as required in section 6.3 ( Co-Authored Creator Content Policy ), the Creator must obtain a signed written appearance release, waiver of rights, and release of claims for each identifiable person in any Co-Authored Creator Content to allow the use of their name and likeness in that Co-Authored Creator Content and to allow that Co-Authored Creator Content to be posted and downloaded (if applicable) on the Website.
      6. Moral Rights Waiver. The Creator waives all claims the Creator may now or later have in any jurisdiction to so-called “moral rights” or rights of droit moral in the Creator Content.
  7. Creator Earning Payouts
    1. Payouts
      1. All Fan Payments will be received by a third-party payment provider approved by the Company.
      2. The Company will receive the full Fan Payment from the relevant payment provider. The Company will deduct the CPL Fee from the Fan Payment and then will hold the Creator Earnings on the Creator’s behalf in the Company’s capacity as the Creator’s agent.
      3. The Company will pay out the Creator Earnings for a given week three weeks after the week the Creator Earnings were earned, on condition that the Creator Earnings meet the minimum payout requirements.
      4. The Creator may elect to receive payment by SEPA, ACH, Paxum, bank check, bank wire transfer, or in the form of Cryptocurrency. The Company may add or remove payment methods at any time in its sole discretion.
      5. All Fan Payments and Creator Earnings are transacted in US dollars or Euros at the Creator’s election. The Creator’s bank may charge the Creator currency conversion or transfer fees to receive the Creator Earnings. Additionally, the Creator’s e-wallet company may charge the Creator a fee for accessing the money. The Company does not have control over currency exchange rates or charges imposed by the Creator’s bank or e-wallet company, and the Company is not responsible for paying any charges imposed by the Creator’s bank or e-wallet company.
      6. If the Creator is an entity or sets up an entity to receive Creator Earnings, the Creator must provide evidence to the Company on request that the Creator is the Person with Majority Control of that entity. Except as provided otherwise in this agreement, the Company will only pay Creator Earnings into a bank account not held in the Creator’s name where the bank account is held in the name of an entity and the Creator is the Person with Majority Control of that entity. If the Creator uses an entity to receive Creator Earnings, the Creator must comply with all laws (including Tax laws) that are applicable to entities in the place where the entity is established. For purposes of this agreement, (i) “Person with Majority Control” means any individual who meets one or both of the following conditions with respect to an entity: (1) the individual holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the ownership interest in that entity; or (2) the individual holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights in that entity; and (ii) “Tax” means all forms of tax and statutory, governmental, state, federal, provincial, local government, or municipal charges, duties, imposts, contributions, levies, withholdings, or liabilities wherever chargeable in any jurisdiction.
      7. If a Fan successfully seeks a refund or chargeback from their credit card provider with respect to a Fan Payment, the Company will investigate and will deduct from the Creator’s account an amount equal to the Creator Earnings earned by the Creator on the charged-back or refunded amount.
      8. If the Company cannot pay out the Creator Earnings to the Creator after 12 months because of inaccurate information in the Creator’s account and the Company cannot contact the Creator, the Creator will automatically forfeit the Creator Earnings, and the Creator Earnings will become the Company’s property. Creator Earnings that are deemed unclaimed property may be turned over to the applicable governmental body.
    2. Creator Model Earnings and Payouts. The Creator acknowledges that all revenues generated from any Creator Model will be considered revenues payable to the Creator only. The Creator is solely responsible for making all applicable payments to the Creator Models operating under the Creator’s account according to any agreement between the Creator and Creator Models. The Creator will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company from all claims made by any Creator Model related to any payments due to that Creator Model under any agreement between the Creator and that Creator Model. The Creator’s failure to make applicable payments to the Creator Models constitutes a material breach of this agreement. The Company is not required to make any payments to any Creator Model operating under the Creator’s account unless the Creator requests that the Company do so. If the Creator requests the Company to make payments directly to the Creator Models, the Creator acknowledges that the Company is providing this service as a convenience and the Creator will remain liable to the Creator Models for any applicable revenues owed under any agreement between the Creator and the Creator Models.
    3. Creator Earnings Withholdings
      1. The Company may withhold any part of the Creator Earnings due to the Creator but not yet paid out: (i) if the Company believes that the Creator or any Creator Model has or may have seriously or repeatedly breached any part of this agreement, the Website’s Terms-of-Service Agreement, or applicable law; (ii) if the Creator or any Creator Model attempts or threatens to breach any part of this agreement or the Website’s Terms-of-Service Agreement in a way that the Company believes could have serious consequences for it or another user (including actual or possible loss caused to the Company or another user); or (iii) if the Company suspects that any part of the Creator Earnings results from unlawful activity, either by the Creator (or any Creator Model) or by the Fan who made the Fan Payment resulting in the Creator Earnings, for as long as is necessary to investigate the actual, threatened, or suspected breach by the Creator or the suspected unlawful activity (as applicable). If after its investigation, the Company concludes that (i) the Creator or any Creator Model has seriously or repeatedly breached any part of this agreement, the Website’s Terms-of-Service Agreement, or applicable law; (ii) the Creator or any Creator Model has attempted or threatened to breach any part of this agreement or the Website’s Terms-of-Service Agreement in a way that has or could have serious consequences for the Company or another user (including actual or possible loss caused to the Company or another user); or (iii) the Creator Earnings results from unlawful activity, the Company may notify the Creator that the Creator has forfeited the Creator Earnings.
      2. The Company will not have any responsibility to the Creator if it withholds or forfeits Creator Earnings where the Company has the right to do so under this agreement.
      3. If the Company is withholding part of the Creator Earnings due to the Creator, and the Company determines that part of the Creator Earnings withheld is unrelated to the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s breach or suspected unlawful activity, the Company may pay the Creator the Creator Earnings unrelated to the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s breach or suspected unlawful activity. However, the Creator acknowledges that if the Company determines that the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s breaches have or may cause the Company losses, the Company may withhold all the Creator Earnings due to the Creator but not yet paid and the Company may set off those amounts against any losses the Company suffers.
      4. If after the Company concludes its investigation, it determines that Creator Earnings are forfeited, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to return any Fan Payments that resulted in forfeited Creator Earnings to the relevant Fans who paid them.
    4. Taxes.
      1. The Company recommends that all Creators seek professional tax advice to ensure that the Creator is compliant with the Creator’s local Tax and VAT rules, based on the Creator’s individual circumstances.
      2. The Company collects VAT from EU Fans and pays it to the appropriate EU authorities on the Creator’s behalf.
      3. By using the Website as a Creator, the Creator states that the Creator has reported and will report in the future the receipt of all payments made to the Creator in connection with the Creator’s use of the Website to the relevant Tax authority in the Creator’s jurisdiction, as required by law.
      4. By using the Website as a Creator, the Creator states that the Creator will at all times comply with all laws and regulations relating to Tax that apply to the Creator. If, at any point while the Creator has an account on the Website, any Tax non-compliance occurs relating to the Creator (including the Creator’s failure to report earnings or the imposition on the Creator of any penalty or interest relating to Tax) or if any litigation, inquiry, or investigation is brought against the Creator that is in connection with, or that may lead to, any occurrence of Tax non-compliance, the Creator must:
        1. notify the Company by email to [email protected] in writing within five days of the occurrence of the Tax non-compliance or the filing of the litigation, inquiry, or investigation (as applicable); and
        2. promptly provide the Company by email to [email protected] with: (1) details of the steps that the Creator is taking to address the Tax non-compliance and to prevent it from happening again, together with any mitigating factors that the Creator considers relevant; and (2) that other information about the Tax non-compliance as the Company may reasonably require.
      5. The Creator is solely responsible for the Creator’s own Tax affairs and the Company is not responsible or liable for any non-payment of Tax by the Creators.
      6. The Company may close the Creator’s account if the Company is notified of or becomes aware of any Tax non-compliance by the Creator.
    5. Disputes. If the Creator disputes the Company’s Creator Earning calculation, the Creator must notify the Company in writing no later than 30 days after that disputed calculation. Failure to notify the Company within this period will result in the Creator’s waiver of any claims related to that disputed calculation.
  8. Fancentro Referral Program. The Company offers a referral program by which Creators can introduce people who are interested in becoming creators on the Website and receive referral payments from the Company that are calculated and limited as described in this section 8 (“Fancentro Referral Program”). For purposes of this section 8, (a) “Referring Creator” means the Creator; and (b) “Referred Creator” means the person who joins the Website as a creator via the Referring Creator’s unique referral link.
    1. Fancentro Referral Program Rules
      1. Only creators with a current creator account can participate in the Fancentro Referral Program. If a creator’s account has been suspended or terminated by the Company for any reason or deleted by the creator, that creator will not be eligible to participate in the Fancentro Referral Program.
      2. The Creator must add bank account details for the Creator’s bank account to receive referral payments under the Fancentro Referral Program.
      3. Each creator has a unique referral link (which can be accessed via the Creator’s user account) that the Creator may share with others. When sharing the unique referral link, the Creator must not impersonate the Company or give the impression that the Creator’s referral link is being shared or promoted by the Company. The Creator must not use Google Ads or any similar advertising platform or search engine advertising service to share or promote the Creator’s unique referral link. On the Company’s request, the Creator must disclose the methods by which the Creator shared its unique referral link.
      4. The Referred Creator must click on the Referring Creator’s unique referral link and then register with the Website using the same browser that they used to click on the Referring Creator’s unique referral link. If someone registers with the Website other than by using the Referring Creator’s unique referral link, the Company will not link that account to the Referring Creator’s referral and the Company will not make any referral payments to the Referring Creator.
      5. The Referred Creator must not have opened a user account with the Website (whether under the same name or another name) before clicking on the Referring Creator’s unique referral link. If the Referred Creator is currently or has previously been a user on the Website, the Company will not make any referral payment to the Referring Creator for the referral.
      6. If the Referred Creator sets up more than one user account, the Company will make referral payments to the Referring Creator on the earnings made by the Referred Creator from its first user account only. The Company will not pay any referral payments to the Referring Creator on any further user accounts set up by the Referred Creator.
      7. The Company will not pay any referral payments to the Referring Creator on any referral of a Referred Creator that the Company determines is owned or operated by the Referring Creator or is in a commercial relationship with the Referring Creator. The Referring Creator will provide any information that the Company requests to enable the Company to determine whether the Referred Creator is owned or operated by the Referring Creator or if there is a commercial relationship between the Referring Creator and the Referred Creator.
      8. When promoting the Website in any way as a Referring Creator, (i) the Referring Creator must not give a false impression of the Website, the Services, programs, and content (including Creator Content) made available through the Website, its users, or this agreement or the Website’s Terms-of-Service Agreement; and (ii) the Referring Creator must not make any statements that suggest to a potential creator that the potential creator will make a particular sum of money (or any money) from their use of the Website, or any statements regarding the likely number of Fans. It is illegal for the Company or for a participant in the Fancentro Referral Program (including Referring Creators and Referred Creators) to persuade anyone to make a payment by promising benefits from getting others to join the Fancentro Referral Program. Do not be misled by claims that high earnings are easily achieved from participation in the Fancentro Referral Program.
    2. Referral Payments
      1. Referral Payment Calculation. Once a Referred Creator has become a registered user of the Website according to the Fancentro Referral Program rules described in section 8.1, the Company will pay the Referring Creator a referral payment equal to 10% of the CPL Fee generated by the Company from the Referred Creator.
      2. VAT. All referral payments payable to the Referring Creator by the Company are inclusive of any VAT.
      3. Payouts. To receive referral payments, the Referring Creator must choose one of the payout methods offered by the Company in the Referring Creator’s country of residence. The Company will transfer to the Referring Creator’s Fancentro account the referral payment due to the Referring Creator on the CPL Fee earned by the Company from the Referred Creator in a calendar month on or about the first day of the next calendar month.
    3. Company’s Rights
      1. If referral payments have been made incorrectly to the Referring Creator, the Company may recover the wrongly paid sums from the Referring Creator.
      2. The Company may request the Referring Creator or the Referred Creator or both to provide the Company with ID and other information reasonably required by the Company to verify any referral payment to be made and the person to whom any referral payment should be made. Failure to provide any information requested by the Company may lead to the Referring Creator losing its entitlement to referral payments for the relevant Referred Creator.
      3. The Company may change any aspect of the Fancentro Referral Program (including how referral payments are calculated) or discontinue the Fancentro Referral Program at any time, but no change will deprive any Referring Creator of referral payments already earned based on the CPL Fee generated by the Company from the Referred Creator before the changes came into effect.
    4. Referral Payment Withholdings
      1. The Company may withhold any part of the referral payments due to the Referring Creator but not yet paid out: (i) if the Company believes that the Referring Creator has or may have seriously breached any part of this agreement or the Website’s Terms-of-Service Agreement; (ii) if the Referring Creator attempts or threatens to breach any part of this agreement or the Website’s Terms-of-Service Agreement in a way that has or could have seriously consequences for the Company or another user (including actual por possible loss caused to the Company or another user); or (iii) if the Company suspects that any part of the referral payments due to the Referring Creator results from unlawful activity, either by the Referring Creator, by the Fan who made the Fan Payment to the Referred Creator that resulted in the referral payment, or by the Referred Creator to whom the Fan Payment was made that resulted in the referral payment, for as long as is necessary to investigate the actual, threatened, or suspected breaches by the Referring Creator or the suspected unlawful activity (as applicable). If after the Company’s investigation, the Company concludes that (i) the Referring Creator has seriously or repeatedly breached any part of this agreement or the Website’s Terms-of-Service Agreement; (ii) the Referring Creator has attempted or threatened to breach any part of this agreement or the Website’s Terms-of-Service Agreement in a way that has or could have serious consequences for the Company or another user (including actual or possible loss caused to the Company or another user); or (iii) any part of referral payments due to the Referring Creator result from unlawful activity, the Company may notify the Referring Creator that the Referring Creator has forfeited all or part of its referral payments.
      2. The Company will not have any responsibility to the Referring Creator if it withholds or forfeits any payment due to the Referring Creator under the Fancentro Referral Program where the Company has a right to do so under this section 8.
      3. If the Company is withholding any part of the referral payments due to the Referring Creator and the Company determines that part of the referral payments withheld by it are unrelated to breaches by the Referring Creator of this agreement or suspected unlawful activity, then the Company may pay to the Referring Creator the part of the referral payments that are unrelated to breaches by the Referring Creator of this agreement or suspected unlawful activity. However, if the Company determines that the Referring Creator’s breaches of this agreement has or may cause the Company loss, the Company may withhold all referral payments due to the Referring Creator but not yet paid and the Company may set off those amounts against any losses suffered by the Company.
  9. Relationship of the Parties
    1. The parties intend that their relationship will be that of independent contractors and not business partners. This agreement does not, and the parties do not intend it to, create a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, or employment relationship.

The Creator assumes sole responsibility for all risks, consequences, and damages resulting from the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s interaction or association with the Website, including risks associated with the publicity of appearing on the Internet; the risk of recording, piracy, or unauthorized dissemination of the Creator Content; or the risk of publication of the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s identity, including publication of the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s personal information.
    4. The Company is not making any warranty—express or implied—that:
      1. the use of the Website will be timely, uninterrupted, or error-free (whether as a result of technical failure, acts or omissions of third parties, or other causes) or will operate in combination with any other hardware, software, system, or data;
      2. the Website, the Materials, or the Services will meet the Creator’s requirements or expectations;

      5. the servers that make the Website available are free of viruses or other harmful components.
    5. The Company offers the Website, the Materials, and the Services “as is.” The Company is not making any express or implied warranty about the Website, the Materials, or the Services, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement. No oral or written advice or information obtained from the Company, the Website, or elsewhere will create any warranty not expressly stated here.

      3. Materials (including Creator Content) or conduct that is infringing, inaccurate, obscene, indecent, offensive, threatening, harassing, defamatory, abusive, invasive of privacy, or illegal;
      4. Unauthorized access to or use of the Company’s servers and any personal or financial information stored in them, including unauthorized access or changes to the Creator’s account or any Creator Model subaccount, the Creator Content, the Creator Offerings, transmissions, or data;

      6. Denial-of-service (DoS) attack or distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack;
      7. Bugs, viruses, Trojan horses, malware, ransomware, or other disabling code that may be transmitted to or through the Website by any person or that might infect the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s computer or affect the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s access to or use of the Website or the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s other services, hardware, or software;
      8. Incompatibility between the Website and the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s other services, hardware, or software;
      9. Delays or failures the Creator or any Creator Model might experience in starting, conducting, or completing any transmissions to or transactions through or with the Website; or
      10. Loss or damage incurred because of the use of any Materials posted, emailed, sent, or otherwise made available through the Website.
    2. The Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, and services providers will not be liable to the Creator or any Creator Model for breach-of-contract damages that the Company could not reasonably have foreseen on entry into this agreement. The Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, and services providers also will not be liable to the Creator or any Creator Model—regardless of theory of liability and even if the Company knew or should have known of the possibility of these damages—for damages for any of the following: (a) personal injury; (b) pain and suffering; (c) emotional distress; (d) loss of use; (e) loss of services; (f) loss of profits; (g) loss of revenue; (h) loss of goodwill; (i) loss of contracts; (j) loss of data; (k) loss of privacy; (l) loss of business or opportunity; or (m) cost of obtaining substitute services related to the Website or the Services.
    3. Except as stated in section 18 (Indemnification), neither party will be liable to the other party for indirect, incidental, special, statutory, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or relating to this agreement, regardless of the theory of liability and even if that party knew or should have known of the possibility of these damages, including loss of revenue or anticipated profits or lost business.
    4. The total cumulative liability of the Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, and services providers to the Creator or any Creator Model will not exceed the greater of (a) total amount owed to the Creator under this agreement and (b) $200 even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose.
  16. Waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542—California Residents Only. If the Creator lives in California, the Creator acknowledges that the Creator understands the consequences of entering into the general release and discharge of all known and unknown claims as stated in this agreement and that the Creator is familiar with the provisions of section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides that:
    A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.
    The Creator waives all rights under section 1542 and any other federal or state statutes or laws of similar effect.
  17. Scope of Disclaimers and Limitations. The disclaimers and limitations stated in sections 14 and 15 apply to the greatest extent allowed by law, but no more. The Company does not intend to deprive the Creator of any mandatory protections provided to the Creator by law. Because some jurisdictions may prohibit the disclaimer of some warranties, the limitation of some damages, or other matters, one or more disclaimers or limitations might not apply to the Creator.
  18. Indemnification
    1. In General. The Creator must pay the Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, and services providers (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) for any loss of an Indemnified Party’s that is caused by (a) the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s use of the Website, the Materials, or the Services; (b) the Creator Profile, the Creator Offerings, or the Creator Content; (c) the Creator or the Creator Model’s use of any third-party social media platform or breach of that third-party social media platform’s terms, policies, or guidelines; (d) the Creator’s failure to pay taxes in connection with the Creator Earnings earned under this agreement (except for VAT collected by the Company and paid to the appropriate EU authorities); (e) the Creator’s failure to pay any amount owed to any Creator Model; (f) the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s dispute with any Fan or other person; (g) the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s breach of this agreement or the Website’s Terms-of-Service Agreement; (h) the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s infringement of any person’s intellectual property rights or violation of any other third-party rights; (i) the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s violation of applicable law; (j) the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s tortious acts or omissions; or (k) the Creator’s or any Creator Model’s illegal conduct. But the Creator is not required to pay if the Indemnified Party’s intentional misconduct caused the loss.
    2. Definitions. “Loss” means an amount that the Indemnified Party is legally responsible for or pays in any form. Amounts include, for example, a judgment, a settlement, a fine, damages, injunctive relief, staff compensation, a decrease in property value, and expenses for defending against a claim for a loss (including fees for legal counsel, expert witnesses, and other advisers). A loss can be tangible or intangible; can arise from bodily injury, property damage, or other causes; can be based on tort, breach of contract, or any other theory of recovery; and includes incidental, direct, and consequential damages. A loss is “caused by” an event if the loss would not have occurred without the event, even if the event is not a proximate cause of the loss.
    3. Indemnified Party’s Duty to Notify. The Indemnified Party will notify the Creator before the 15th business day after the Indemnified Party knows or should reasonably have known of a claim for a loss that the Creator might be obligated to pay. The Indemnified Party’s failure to give the Creator timely notice does not terminate the Creator’s obligation, except to the extent that the failure prejudices the Creator’s ability to defend the claim or mitigate losses.
    4. Legal Defense of a Claim. The Indemnified Party has control over defending a claim for a loss (including settling it) unless the Indemnified Party directs the Creator to control the defense. If the Indemnified Party directs the Creator to control the defense, the Creator will not settle any litigation without the Indemnified Party’s written consent if the settlement (1) imposes a penalty or limitation on the Indemnified Party, (2) admits the Indemnified Party’s fault, or (3) does not fully release the Indemnified Party from liability. The Creator and the Indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith on a claim.
    5. No Exclusivity. The Indemnified Parties’ rights under this section 18 do not affect other rights that they might have.
  19. Dispute Resolution
    1. Litigation Election. Either party may elect to litigate the following type of case or controversy: (a) an action seeking injunctive relief, or (b) a suit to compel compliance with this section 19.
    2. Arbitration. The parties must settle all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Website or this agreement by binding online/virtual arbitration with Arbitration Resolution Services, Inc. (ARS) (or a similar online dispute resolution provider if ARS is unavailable). The parties will abide by all rules of ARS, as found on its website at www.arbresolutions.com . The arbitrator, and not any court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, enforceability, or formation of this agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable. Each party will be responsible for paying any filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. The arbitrator may grant whatever relief that would be available in a court at law or in equity, except that the arbitrator must not award punitive or exemplary damages or damages otherwise limited or excluded in this agreement. The arbitrator’s award will include costs of arbitration, reasonable legal fees, and reasonable costs for experts and other witnesses. Judgment on any award rendered in any such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Unless required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator will disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under this agreement without the parties’ prior written consent.
    3. Injunctive Relief. The Creator acknowledges that breach by the Creator of this agreement could cause irreparable harm for which damages would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, if any breach occurs or is threatened, the Company may seek an injunction, a restraining order, or any other equitable remedy, in each case without posting a bond or other security.
    4. Jurisdiction and Venue. If a party brings any proceeding seeking an injunction, a restraining order, or any other equitable remedy to which that party is entitled under this agreement, that party will bring that proceeding only in the courts of competent jurisdiction located in Ajeltaki Island, Majuro, Marshall Islands, and each party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of those courts for purposes of any proceeding. Each party waives any claim that any proceeding brought under section 19.4 has been brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of that proceeding is improper.
    5. Recovery of Expenses. In any arbitration or litigation proceedings between the parties arising out of or relating to this agreement, the Prevailing Party will be entitled to recover from the other party, in addition to any other relief awarded, all expenses that the Prevailing Party incurs in those proceedings, including legal fees and expenses. For purposes of this section 19.5, “Prevailing Party” means, for any proceedings, the party in whose favor an award is rendered, except that if in those proceedings the award finds in favor of one party on one or more claims or counterclaims and in favor of the other party on one or more other claims or counterclaims, neither party will be the Prevailing Party. If any proceedings are voluntarily dismissed or are dismissed as part of the settlement of that dispute, neither party will be the Prevailing Party in those proceedings.
    6. Jury Trial Waiver. Each party waives its right to a trial by jury in any proceedings arising out of or relating to this agreement. Either party may enforce this waiver up to and including the first day of trial.
    7. Class Action Waiver. The parties will conduct all proceedings to resolve a dispute in any forum on an individual basis only. Neither the Creator nor the Company will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or participate in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. The parties will not combine any proceeding with another without the advanced written consent of all parties to all affected proceedings.
    8. Limited Time to Bring Claims. A party will not bring a claim arising out of or relating to this agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Any claim brought after one year is barred.
  20. General

    2. Amendment. The Company may change this agreement on one or more occasions, on condition that changes will not apply to ongoing disputes or disputes arising out of events occurring before the posted changes.

Any purported assignment of rights or delegation of performance by the Creator in breach of this section 20.3 is void.
    4. Waivers. If the Company fails to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this agreement, it will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of this agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by the relevant party.

The Company is not responsible for any failure to perform if unforeseen circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control delays or continues to delay its performance, including (a) acts of God, including fire, flood, earthquakes, hurricanes, tropical storms, or other natural disasters; (b) war, riot, arson, embargoes, acts of civil or military authority, or terrorism; (c) fiber cuts; (d) strikes, or shortages in transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials; (e) failure of the telecommunications or information services infrastructure; and (f) hacking, SPAM, or any failure of a computer, server, network, or software.
    9. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the Indemnified Parties, who are third-party beneficiaries of section 18 (Indemnification) of this agreement having the right to enforce section 18 (Indemnification), this agreement does not, and the parties do not intend it to, confer any rights or remedies on any person other than the parties to this agreement.
    10. Successors and Assigns. This agreement benefits and binds the parties and their respective heirs, successors, and permitted assigns.
    11. Electronic Signature. The Creator acknowledges that any affirmation, assent, or agreement the Creator sends through the Website in response to a prompt binds the Creator. When the Creator clicks on an “I agree,” “I consent,” or other similarly worded “button” or entry field using a mouse, keystroke, or other device, this action is the legal equivalent of the Creator’s handwritten signature and binds the Creator in the same way.
    12. Voluntary Agreement. The Creator has entered into this agreement voluntarily and for valid reasons. The Creator acknowledges that the Creator (i) has carefully read this agreement, (ii) discussed it with the Creator’s attorneys or other advisors, (iii) understood all the terms, and (iv) will comply with it.
