10. PURCHASES BY USERS


This section applies and describes the terms regarding User/Creator Transactions:

  1. All User/Creator Transactions are contracts between Users and Creators on the terms of the Standard Agreement between User and Creator. Although ShareSpace facilitates User/Creator Transactions by providing the ShareSpace Platform and storing Content, but ShareSpace is not a party to the Standard Agreement between User and Creator or any other contract which may exist between a User and Creator, and is not responsible for any User/Creator Transactions.
  2. Creators are solely responsible for determining the pricing applicable to User/Creator Transactions and the Content to which you may be given access. All prices appear in USD only.
  3. User Payments are exclusive of VAT.
  4. To be able to enter into a User/Creator Transaction with a particular Creator, you must first add a payment card to your account and then click the 'Purchase' button on the relevant Creator's profile. Whereas, if the User clicks on the ‘Purchase’ button without having first added a payment card to its account, it will be asked to do so in order to be eligible to purchase a relevant service from a Creator’s profile.
  5. You authorize us and our subsidiary companies to supply your payment card details to a third-party payment provider (Stripe) for the purpose of processing your User Payment. All User Payments will be charged in USD. Your payment card provider may charge you currency conversion fees. We do not have control over currency exchange rates or charges imposed by your payment card provider or bank and we and our subsidiary companies will not be responsible for paying any charges or fees imposed by your payment card provider or bank.
  6. The payment provider will take (i) periodic payments from your payment card for User Payments which are for Services on a Paid Basis; and (ii) immediate payments from your payment card for User Payments purchases of One to One services. You authorize and consent to each of these payments being debited using your supplied payment card details.
  7. Apart from free-trials(if applicable), all Services on a Paid Basis (other than the one to one services) to a Creator's profile will automatically renew at the end of the relevant end period, except if your payment card is declined or if the payment price for the Paid Basis Service has increased. This means that if you want to stop paying for a Services on a Paid Basis to a Creator's profile and cancel your continuing monthly charges, you will need to unfollow the group or delete your card details.
  8. If you cancel a Paid Basis Service you will continue to be permitted to view the relevant Creator's Content until the end of the paid period, after which no further payments will be taken from your payment card in respect of Paid Basis Services to that Creator's profile (unless you choose to pay for a new Paid Basis Service to that Creator’s profile), and you will no longer be able to view the relevant Creator's Content.
  9. You agree that you will not make unjustified requests for a refund in respect of any User/Creator Transaction, or unjustified chargeback requests of your payment card provider in relation to any User/Creator Transaction. If we consider that any request for a refund or chargeback request was made by you in bad faith, we have the right to suspend or delete your User account.
  10. ShareSpace Credits: You can prepay an amount on ShareSpace Platform (the “ShareSpace Credits”) which can be later used to make User Payments. Purchases on ShareSpace Platform cannot be divided - if you attempt to proceed with a purchase that costs more than the total amount of your remaining ShareSpace Credits, your payment card will be charged the full amount for that purchase/or the remaining balance for the attempted purchase. ShareSpace Credits are subject to a maximum amount as determined by us from time to time. Interest will not accrue on ShareSpace Credits. ShareSpace Credits are non-refundable, which means that you are not entitled to a refund of any unused ShareSpace Credits.
  11. As a Creator, when you receive confirmation from ShareSpace Platform and Stripe via email, that the User/Creator Transaction has been confirmed, then you must perform your part of such User/Creator Transaction (for example, by allowing the User to view your Content on you Creator account and/or providing the One to One service purchased by the User. You agree that you indemnify ShareSpace for any breach by you of this obligation (which means you will be responsible for any loss or damage (including loss of profit) we suffer as a result of your failure to comply with this obligation).

11. CREATORS SECTION

The Creator Earnings is being paid out from the payment price of your Paid Basis Services as set by you/the Creator.

i. All User Payments will be received by a third-party payment provider approved by us (Stripe).

ii. Stripe will collect the User Payment and pay the Creator Earnings to your bank account.

v. The amount that you see in your ‘current balance’ in your ShareSpace account is your Creator Earnings at the relevant time. All User Payments and Creator Earnings are transacted in USD only. The User Payments and Creator Earnings figures will be reflected in the currency chosen by you at the Stripe Verification Procedure, at an exchange rate controlled by Stripe. Your bank may charge you currency conversion or transfer fees to receive the money. Additionally, your e-wallet company may charge you a fee for accessing the money. We do not have control over currency exchange rates or charges imposed by your bank or your e-wallet company, and we and our subsidiary companies will not be responsible for paying any charges imposed by your bank or your e-wallet company.

vi. If a User successfully seeks a refund or chargeback from their credit card provider in respect of a User Payment made to you, we may investigate and may decide to deduct from your account an amount equal to the Creator Earnings earned by you on the charged-back or refunded amount.

vii. We do not store any data disclosed by you when you register your Payout Options with a third-party payment provider (Stripe).


c. Withhold Creator’s Earnings


a. We may withhold all or any part of the Creator Earnings due to you, but not yet paid out:


i. if we think that you have or may have seriously or repeatedly breached any part of this Agreement;

ii. if you attempt or threaten to breach any part of this Agreement in a way which we think has or could have serious consequences for us or another User/Creator (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User/Creator); or

iii. if we suspect that all or any part of the Creator Earnings result from unlawful or fraudulent activity, either by you or by the User who made the User Payment resulting in the Creator Earnings,

for as long as is necessary to investigate the actual, threatened or suspected breach by you or the suspected unlawful activity (as applicable). If following our investigation, we conclude that (i) you have seriously or repeatedly breached any part of this Agreement; (ii) you have attempted or threatened to breach any part of this Agreement in a way which has or could have serious consequences for us or another User/Creator (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User/Creator), and/or (iii) the Creator Earnings result from unlawful or fraudulent activity, we may notify you that you have forfeited your Creator Earnings.


b. We may also withhold all or any part of the Creator Earnings due to you but not yet paid out if we receive notice that you have secured, encumbered, pledged, assigned, or otherwise allowed a lien to be placed on Creator Earnings. We undertake no duty to pay Creator Earnings to third-party lienholders and may withhold payment of Creator Earnings until the lien has been removed.


c. We shall not have any responsibility to you if we withhold or forfeit any of your Creator Earnings where we have a right to do so under this Agreement.


d. If we are withholding all or any part of the Creator Earnings due to you and we determine that part of the Creator Earnings withheld by us is unrelated to breaches by you of this Agreement or suspected unlawful or fraudulent activity, then we may arrange for you to be paid the part of the Creator Earnings which we determine to be unrelated to breaches by you of this Agreement or suspected unlawful or fraudulent activity. However, you agree that if we consider that your breach(es) of this Agreement has or may cause us loss, we may withhold all Creator Earnings due to you but not yet paid and we may set off such amounts against any losses suffered by us.


e. If once we have finished our investigation we determine that Creator Earnings are forfeited, we will (unless prohibited by law) use our best efforts to ensure that any User Payments which resulted in forfeited Creator Earnings are returned to the relevant User who paid such User Payments.


d. Personal legal responsibility


Every Creator is bound personally by this Agreement. If you have an agent, agency, management company or other third party which assists you with the operation of your Creator account (or operates it on your behalf), this does not affect your personal legal responsibility. Our relationship is with you, and not with any third party, and you will be legally responsible for ensuring that all Content posted and all use of your account complies with this Agreement.


If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to this Agreement. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with the terms of this Agreement, you must not accept this Agreement and may not access and use the ShareSpace Platform.
