By agreeing to a recurring subscription tier, you agree that we will deduct the required Fees automatically when due, using the payment method on your account. You agree to keep any connected credit card or payment methods current and accurate at all times. All payments will be in US dollars, unless otherwise stated on the Services when making a purchase.

Additionally, you agree to reimburse us for all reasonable costs incurred by us in collecting any late payments or interest, including attorneys’ fees, court costs, and collection agency fees.
• Taxes. All fees and amounts payable by you under this Agreement do not include taxes and similar assessments. You are responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by you under this Agreement. You are not responsible for any taxes imposed on our income.

• Changes. You agree that we may change the required Fees for any paid or subscription portions of the Services at any time. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to give at least 30 days’ notice of any changes, to the email address on your account or through your account dashboard.
Tipping and Paid Content:
• Monetary Tips. Users have the option to provide monetary tips to other users on the Services. This feature is designed to allow users to show appreciation for the Content shared by other users.

Clipkick is not responsible for disputes arising from the tipping feature – any such disputes are strictly between the user giving the tip and the user receiving the tip.
• Paid Content. Users may set up a payment requirement for certain shared User Content, including access to connect with the creator, and to chat with the creator and others (“Paid Content”). This means that other users will need to provide a monetary payment to access this Paid Content. The amount and terms of the payment required are set by the user sharing the Paid Content – this may include one-time payments or recurring subscriptions. Clipkick facilitates the transaction through the Services’ payment processing functionality, but by engaging with Paid Content (either by sharing it or by purchasing it) you acknowledge and agree that Clipkick is not responsible for the content or disputes related to paywalled content – any such disputes are strictly between the user sharing the Paid Content and the user accessing the Paid Content.

• Clipkick Fee. Clipkick reserves the right to deduct a processing fee and to retain a portion of any tip or Paid Content purchase price, the amounts of which to be further detailed on the Services.
• Subscriptions and Cancellation. Any subscription payments to Paid Content are a pre-payment for access to such Paid Content. If you choose to cancel any subscription, the cancellation will take effect as of the next subscription renewal date, and you will have access to the Paid Content until such date. Unless otherwise required by law, no refunds will be given.
• Disputes and Refunds. Any disputes related to tipping or Paid Content must be resolved between the involved parties. Clipkick will not mediate disputes and is not responsible for refunds unless there’s a technical error on Clipkick’s part.
• Further Details. Further details about tipping and Paid Content will be contained on the Services themselves when you sign up for or access these features through your Account.

7. Clipkick Affiliate Program Terms
• Program. Clipkick may offer certain functionality which allows certain active Services Account holders to earn a portion of paywall and tipping revenue earned from users they refer to the Services (“Site-Wide” affiliates), and for participants to earn a portion of revenue from any users they refer to the Services who pay specific creators for certain content (“Creator-Promotion” affiliates) (the “Affiliate Program”). Site-Wide Affiliates earn a portion of tipping and content paywall revenue from users they introduce to the service. Creator-Promotion Affiliates earn a portion of the paywall subscription revenue (not tipping revenue) of the users they introduce to a specific creator’s paywall. Neither Affiliates earn revenue from Clipkick service subscription fees. Certain terms specific to the Affiliate Program are contained within this section, but all terms of this Agreement will apply.
• Eligibility. To be eligible for the Clipkick Affiliate Program, participants must be 18 years or older and must provide accurate information during the Affiliate Program signup process. Additionally, participants must be active Services Account holders, must be approved after signing up for the Affiliate Program (at Clipkick’s sole discretion), and must be able to connect to our payment processor (including inputting bank account and other information) upon signup.
• Affiliate Links. Upon joining the Affiliate Program, participants will receive unique affiliate links, depending on which type of affiliate setup is being used. For those using Site-Wide affiliate links, if they invite anyone through the service or share the affiliate link with anyone, the recipient will be directed to the registration page of the website. For those using Creator-Promotion affiliate links, the link will be specifically directed to the User’s Content paywall that the participant is promoting on the site. These links can be shared on users’ websites, social media, emails, and other platforms. Commissions will be earned when new users sign up for certain paid portions of the Services using these links and make a purchase.
• Commissions. In the case of Site-Wide Affiliates, commissions are earned for each new user who signs up and pays for any Tipping or Paid Content portions of the Services using the affiliate link and remains active for a minimum period, with the specifics as detailed by Clipkick in your account dashboard when signing up for the Affiliate Program. In the case of Creator Promotion Affiliates, the specific percentage of revenue paid as a commission will be set by the Creator and applies to paywall subscription fees only, excluding tipping. This percentage will be set within a user’s Account dashboard (and subject to Clipkick’s discretion). Payments will be made by our payment processor according to their payment schedule, further details of which will be provided to participants on the Service or by the payment processor themselves.
• Behavior. In addition to other terms in this Agreement with respect to user behavior, by participating in the Affiliate Program, participants must conduct themselves with integrity and adhere to ethical marketing practices at all times. The following behaviors and actions are strictly prohibited and will be considered violations of these Affiliate Program terms:

o Unethical Practices: Using deceptive tactics, false claims, or any other practices that could harm Clipkick’s and the Services’ reputation or deceive potential users.
Violation of any of these behaviors may result in the suspension or termination of the participant’s account and forfeiture of any earned commissions.
• Termination. Clipkick reserves the right to suspend or terminate any affiliate Account or remove the Account and user as a participant in the Affiliate Program for violations of these terms, including but not limited to, fraudulent activities, misrepresentation, or any aggressive marketing tactics.
• Limitations. Affiliates are prohibited from using the program for illegal activities, making false claims, or violating any laws. Affiliates are also prohibited from using their affiliate links for their own signups or purchases. Affiliates must always be in compliance with applicable laws, including the Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guidelines – see this link for more information: https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking
• Disputes and Refunds. Any disputes between participants in the Affiliate Program (including, for example, between a Paid Content creator and an affiliate who is promoting that creator) must be resolved between the involved parties. Clipkick will not mediate disputes and is not responsible for refunds unless there’s a technical error on Clipkick’s part related to the operation of the Affiliate Program (which will be resolved in Clipkick’s sole discretion).

18. Binding Arbitration
• Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes. You and Clipkick agree that, except as provided below, all disputes arising from or related to this Agreement (each a “Claim”), will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, which may be initiated by either party by sending a written notice requesting arbitration to the other party. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”) and under the terms set forth in this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this Section and the JAMS Rules, the terms in this Section will control and prevail.
• Arbitration Procedures. Except as otherwise set forth below, you may seek any non-injunctive remedies available to you under federal, state, or local laws in an arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both you and Clipkick will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of their decision regarding the Claim, the award given, and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court, rather than an arbitrator. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (i) you and Clipkick may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; and (ii) the arbitrator’s decision will be final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law. BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND CLIPKICK WAIVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
• Location. The arbitration will be conducted in New York, New York, USA, unless the parties agree to video, phone, or internet connection appearances.
• No Class Action. You and Clipkick agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Claim between Clipkick and you individually. YOU AND CLIPKICK AGREE THAT (i) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (ii) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (iii) NO ARBITRATION WILL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION.
• Exceptions to Arbitration. You and Clipkick agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (i) any Claim seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of you or Clipkick’s intellectual property rights; (ii) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (iii) any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration with the other party’s consent.
• Arbitration Fees. The party seeking the Claim is responsible for the initial fees to JAMS. All other fees and costs of the arbitration will be apportioned according to the JAMS Rules.
• Severability. You and Clipkick agree that if any portion this Section is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Section 15.5), that portion will be severed and the remainder of the Section will be given full force and effect. If any portion of this Section 18 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither you nor Clipkick will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of Section 18 found to be illegal or unenforceable. Such Claim will be exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the City of New York, New York, USA, and you and Clipkick agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
19. California Residents: General Release
If you are a California resident, you agree to waive California Civil Code Section 1542, and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction (if you are a resident of such other jurisdiction), which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
20. Legal Compliance; Export Controls.
By using the Services, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Additionally, you agree to comply with all domestic and international export laws and regulations that apply to your use of the Services, such as those governing software and cryptographic materials. These export laws and regulations restrict the destination and end users, as well.
21. Miscellaneous Terms
• Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Clipkick and governs the terms and conditions of your use of the Services, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and Clipkick with respect to the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may also be subject to additional terms and conditions, posted policies (including but not limited to the Privacy Policy), guidelines, or rules that may apply when you use or purchase certain elements of the Services, Affiliate or advertiser services, third-party content or third-party software.
• No Waiver. The failure of Clipkick to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of this Agreement by Clipkick must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Clipkick.
• Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision and the other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect.
• Section Titles. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
• No Partnership. Nothing contained in the Agreement will be construed to constitute either party as a partner, joint venturer, employee or agent of the other party, nor may either party hold itself out as such. Neither party has any right or authority to incur, assume or create, in writing or otherwise, any warranty, liability or other obligation of any kind, express or implied, in the name of or on behalf of the other party, it being intended by both parties that each will remain independent contractors responsible for its own actions.
