PLEASE READ THIS USER AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. BY USING THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND FULLY AGREE TO ALL THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. YOU MAY NOT USE THE SERVICE IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

  1. By using the Service, you agree that you have read, understand and unconditionally accept all the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to any provision of this Agreement, or you believe that any provision of this Agreement infringes on your rights, or in any other way puts you at a disadvantage, then you must immediately stop any use of the Service.
  1. We constantly strive to improve our Service by providing you with new features and capabilities, so we may make changes to this Agreement from time to time. At the same time, we recommend that you periodically check the date of the last update of this Agreement, indicated at the top of it, and, if it is updated, get acquainted with the new version of the Agreement.
  1. We may change any part of the Agreement without prior notice, especially in the following cases:
    1. to reflect changes in laws and regulatory requirements that apply to Service and Service services, functions and programs, if such changes require that Service to change its terms;
    1. to eliminate the unforeseen and imminent danger associated with protecting Service, Creators or Followers from fraud, malware, spam, data leakage or other cybersecurity risks;
  1. As soon as any updated Agreement take effect, you will be required to comply with them if you continue to use Service.
  1. General. You agree that:
    1. If any aspect of your agreement with us is unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect.
    1. If we fail to enforce any aspect of your agreement with us, it will not be a waiver of rights;
    1. We reserve all rights not hereby expressly granted to you.
    1. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under the agreement with us without our prior written consent.

Terms of use of the Service

  1. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Service. All rights to the Service, including software rights, are the Exclusive property of the Company. You agree that you will not copy, transmit, distribute, sell, license, reverse engineer, modify, publish or participate in the transfer or sale, create derivative works based on our Service or its component parts, or otherwise use the software except for the purpose of using the Service.
  1. Except for certain services available to you when using the service, the use of the Service itself is free of charge for you. We reserve the right to impose a fee for using the Service at any time.

Eligibility

  1. By using the Service, you confirm that you have reached the required age in accordance with your personal law, and that you have all the necessary powers and permissions for such use. If you are prohibited by your personal law from using our Service, you must refuse to use the Service, otherwise you and only you will be solely responsible for using the Service in violation of the requirements of your personal law.

Your role in the Service

  1. All users of the Service are divided into two groups: Creators and Followers. By accepting the terms of this Agreement, you will start using the Service as a Follower. However, this does not prevent you from also using the Service as a Creator by entering into a corresponding agreement with the Company.
  1. Followers are users of the Service who view the Creators' digital content. The Service provides Followers with the opportunity to buy access to the content of Creators and/or financially support Creators they like – to give them money free of charge in a form of a gratuitous gift of funds.

The relationship between a Follower and Creator

  1. A Follower's gift of money to a Creator or buying a Follower access to digital content is a deal. All deals are made directly between a Creator and a Follower. Creators and Followers independently determine the terms and conditions of the deal, how the deal will be executed, and how the deal will be changed and terminated. Before entering the deal, you must ensure that it is legal and meets the requirements of your personal law.
  1. In the case of a change in an already concluded deal (change of a condition, a party to an obligation, etc.), you confirm that such changes are legal and made in accordance with the requirements of your personal law. If you do not agree with the contents of the deal or any changes made to it, you must repudiate the deal yourself and terminate it in accordance with the terms of the deal and applicable law.
  1. PLEASE NOTE! The Company does not participate in deals between a Creators and a Followers, does not determine their terms, does not monitor their proper execution, and is not responsible for their legality for both a Creator and a Follower. By using the Service, you confirm that you and only you are solely responsible for the legality and acceptability of your deal.
  1. At the same time, we reserve the right to verify the reality of the deals concluded between you and a Creator, including to demand the provision of the terms of the concluded deals, as well as to confirm the fact of the provision of execution for these deals. If you are unable to confirm the reality of the deals you have made, we will consider your use of the Service as fraudulent.

Financial support for a Creator

  1. You can choose the amount of money that you want to give to the corresponding Creator. Minimum gift size: 1 EUR (if the gift size is lower, the fee of payment providers will eat up all the money, and a Creator will not receive anything). Maximum gift value: 2,000 EUR. You can choose the frequency of payment - it can be a one-time payment or a regular one.
  1. Financial support of a Creator is provided by a Follower's transfer of funds to the Company. To transfer funds, you must choose one of the payment methods available in the Service.
  1. By providing financial support to a Creator, you acknowledge and agree that all your payments to a Creator are final and non-refundable. If you decide to request a refund despite this condition, you must contact the Company directly to resolve this issue.
  1. If we become aware that you are requesting a refund without contacting the Company, we reserve the right to immediately and unilaterally terminate any of your use of the Service.
  1. You agree that you will not make unreasonable refund requests in relation to any Followers/Creator Transaction, or unreasonable requests for a refund from your payment card provider in relation to any Followers/Creator Transaction. If we believe that any refund request has been made by you in bad faith, we have the right to suspend or delete your user account.
  1. You agree that Service fulfills its obligations at the moment when it provides the user with access to content by subscription.
  1. Remember that the financial support of a Creator is a gift of money, which means it is a gratuitous deal, i.e., a transaction that does not involve any counter-provision. A Creator who has received financial support from you does not become obligated to you in any way. You do not have the right to require a Creator to perform any actions.

Purchase access to digital content

  1. Each Creator independently sets the cost of access to their digital content. The cost may depend on the amount of access provided (for example: part of digital content or all digital content), the period of access (for example: "1 week", "1 month", "1 year", "forever"), the frequency of payment (for example: "one-time payment", "regular payment"), etc.
  1. The minimum cost of access to digital content that can be sold through the Service is 1 EUR (if the cost is lower than this amount, the commission of payment providers will eat up all the money, and the Creator will not receive anything). The maximum cost of access to digital content that can be sold through the Service is 1,000 EUR.

Payment frequency

  1. The Service allows you to choose the frequency of payments - these can be one-time payments or regular payments. The choice of payment frequency is available both for financial support and for purchasing access to digital content.
  1. PLEASE NOTE that If you choose periodic payments, you agree that every month on the date of your first payment (or on the nearest business day), the same amount of payment that you paid for the first time will be deducted from your payment method without acceptance. Periodic payments will occur until you cancel them yourself by sending a relevant message through the Service.

The Company's role in the Service

  1. The Company is a payment agent authorized by Creators to perform all necessary actions in their interests to collect funds received from Followers to Creators, including entering into appropriate agreements with payment providers, processing requests for refunds, etc.
  1. From the moment the Company receives a Follower's funds, a Follower's obligations to transfer funds to a Creator within the framework of the relevant deal are considered to be duly fulfilled.

Company's attitude to Creators' digital content

THE COMPANY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A CREATORS' DIGITAL CONTENT.

  1. The Company does not control the content of a Creators' digital content, including what digital content is:
    1. does not violate the terms of Service;
