F. Projects: Paid Content and Commerce

Reelhouse is a platform where Video Creators can offer exclusive Content only available to Viewers who pay a fee (“Fee”) for the Content (the “Paid Content”). Video Creators can also offer merchandise based on or related to their Content for sale to Viewers (“Merchandise”). By designating Content as Paid Content or offering Merchandise for sale, or by paying a Fee to view Paid Content, or by purchasing Merchandise, you agree to be bound by this entire Agreement, including the following terms:

1. (a) It is up to a Video Creator to designate Content as Paid Content, and the Fee required to view and download the Paid Content. Any Content that is not designated as Paid Content will be accessible by all Users without paying a Fee.

   (b) A Video Creator will be the legal entity to which Fees will be directed. By designating Paid Content, a Video Creator represents and warrants that it is the legal entity responsible for soliciting and receiving Fees for the Paid Content.

   (c) To receive Fees, a Video Creator must establish an account (a “Fee Account”) with the payment processor designated by Reelhouse at the time the Video Creator designates Paid Content. You understand and agree that your Fee Account will be governed by your agreement with the payment processor, and that Reelhouse shall have no liability for your Fee Account or your transactions or interactions with the payment processor.

   (d) All Fees paid to a Video Creator will be directed to the Video Creator’s Fee Account. An artist using the VOD service is charged 10% + $0.50 per VOD purchase. SVOD royalties will be divided and allocated amongst Video Creators based on pro rata views of Video Creators respective content each calendar quarter end. Reelhouse will direct funding contributions of all VOD purchases to the Video Creator’s Funding Account on a monthly basis on or about the first (1st) day of each month for contributions received during the preceding month. Reelhouse will direct funding contributions of all SVOD monthly membership proceeds to the Video Creator’s Funding Account on a quarterly basis on or about the first (1st) day of each quarter for contributions received during the previous quarter. If the owing amount for that quarter is less than $5.00 USD, Reelhouse will retain the amount until it surpasses $5.00 USD. Reelhouse is not responsible for any error or omission in the Fee Account information you provide.

   (e) For VOD, all fee amounts will be set by the Video Creator and charged on the basis of access to Paid Content, as determined by the Video Creator. For SVOD, fee amounts will be set by Reelhouse and are subject to change.

   (f) If a Video Creator offers Paid Content in return for Fees, the Video Creator hereby authorizes Reelhouse to make such Paid Content available for access to a Viewer for reviewing immediately upon a Viewer providing sufficient payment through Reelhouse’s designated payment processor. A Video Creator does not guarantee that any Content will remain designated as Paid Content, or that any Paid Content will remain on the Site. A Video Creator may change publicly available Content to Paid Content, and vice versa.

   (g) A Video Creator may offer Merchandise, based on or related to the Video Creator’s Content, for sale on the Site, provided that the offering of such Merchandise is lawful under all applicable laws and otherwise complies with these Terms of Use.

   (h) A Video Creator shall have full responsibility for applicable taxes for all Fees and all payment for Merchandise paid to it under this Agreement, and for compliance with all applicable labour and employment requirements with respect to its self-employment, sole proprietorship or other form of business organization, and with respect to its employees and contractors, including worker’s compensation insurance coverage requirements and any applicable immigration visa requirements. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Reelhouse harmless from any liability for, or assessment of, any claims or penalties with respect to such withholding taxes, labour or employment requirements, including any liability for, or assessment of, withholding taxes imposed on Reelhouse by the relevant taxing authorities with respect to any Fees or payment for Merchandise paid to you.

   (i) Reelhouse makes no representations, warranties or guarantee regarding the availability or quality of Paid Content, or the amount of any Fees to be made to a Video Creator under this Agreement.

   (j) It is solely a Viewer’s choice to pay Fees to a Video Creator. You understand that paying Fees for Paid Content does not give you any rights in or to Paid Content, other than a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable license to access and view the Paid Content (for which you paid Fees) for your own personal, non-commercial use. You understand that paying Fees for Support Recognition does not give you any rights in or to Content on the Site.

   (k) Any purchase and sale of Merchandise is between the Viewer and the Video Creator only, and Reelhouse does not guarantee that Merchandise will be delivered or satisfactory.

   (l) Fees paid to Video Creators are nonrefundable. Under certain circumstances Reelhouse may, but is under no obligation to, seek the refund of Fees if the Video Creator misrepresents the Paid Content, does not provide the access to Paid Content. The Viewer acknowledges and agrees that all his Fee transactions are between the Viewer, the Video Creator, and the payment processor only, and that Reelhouse is not responsible for Fee transactions, including without limitation any personal or payment information the Viewer provides to the payment processor.

   (m) Reelhouse makes no representations regarding the deductibility of any contribution for tax purposes. Please consult your tax advisor for more information.

   (n) Viewers agree to provide their payment information at the time they pay a Fee or a payment for Merchandise.

   (o) Viewers consent to Reelhouse and its designated payment processor partners authorizing or reserving a charge on their payment card or other payment method for any amount up to the full Fee or Merchandise purchase price at any time between the agreement to pay and collection of the Fee or merchandise purchase price, or to effect payment immediately.

   (p) Viewers agree to have sufficient funds or credit available at the time of payment to ensure that the Fee or Merchandise purchase price will be collectible.

   (q) Video Creators agree to make a good faith attempt with best efforts to fulfill each sale of Merchandise by its estimated delivery period.

   (r) For all Fee and Merchandise transactions, Reelhouse gives to the Video Creator each Viewer’s User ID, Fee amount, name and email address, and each Viewer consents to same, all in accordance with the Reelhouse Privacy Policy.

   (s) For some Merchandise, the Video Creator needs further information from Viewers, such as a mailing address or t shirt size, to enable the Video Creator to deliver the Merchandise. The Video Creator shall request the information when offering Merchandise. To receive the Merchandise, Viewers agree to provide the requested information to the Video Creator.

   (t) Reelhouse does not offer refunds or guarantee payment of Fees or payments for Merchandise. The Video Creator and Viewer each agree that Reelhouse is not responsible for the Fees and Merchandise transactions between them. A Video Creator is not required to grant a Viewer’s request for a refund of payment for Merchandise unless the Video Creator is unable or unwilling to deliver the Merchandise.

   (u) Video Creators shall deliver Merchandise to Viewers who have paid and had their orders accepted, or refund any Viewer whose Merchandise the Video Creator cannot or does not deliver.

   (v) Video Creators may cancel or refund a Viewer’s payment for Merchandise at any time and for any reason, and if they do so, are not required to deliver the Merchandise.

   (w) Because of occasional failures of payments from Viewers, Reelhouse cannot guarantee the full receipt of the amount agreed upon minus Reelhouse’s fees.

   (x) Reelhouse reserves the right to cancel a Fee or a payment for Merchandise at any time and for any reason. Reelhouse reserves the right to reject, cancel, interrupt, remove, or suspend an offering of Paid Content or Merchandise at any time and for any reason. Reelhouse is not liable for any damages as a result of any of those actions. Reelhouse’s policy is not to comment on the reasons for any of those actions.

2. Reelhouse is not liable for any damages or loss incurred related to Fees, Support Recognition, Paid Content, Merchandise or any other use of the Service. All dealings are solely between Users. Reelhouse is under no obligation to become involved in disputes between any Users, or between Users and any third party.

U. Membership, Free Trials, Billing and Cancellation

1. Membership
   1. Ongoing Membership. Your Reelhouse SVOD membership, which may start with a free trial, will continue month-to-month unless and until you cancel your membership or we terminate it. You must have Internet access and provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment (as such may be updated from time to time, "Payment Method") to use the Reelhouse SVOD service. We will bill the monthly membership fee to your Payment Method. You must cancel your membership before it renews each month in order to avoid billing of the next month's membership fees to your Payment Method.
   2. Differing Memberships. We may offer a number of membership plans, including special promotional plans or memberships with differing conditions and limitations. Any materially different terms from those described in these Terms of Use will be disclosed at your sign-up or in other communications made available to you. You can find specific details regarding your membership with Reelhouse by visiting our website and clicking on the "Your Account" link. Some promotional memberships are offered by third parties in conjunction with the provision of their own products and services. We are not responsible for the products and services provided by such third parties. We reserve the right to modify, terminate or otherwise amend our offered membership plans.
2. Free Trials
   1. Your Reelhouse SVOD membership may start with a free trial. The free trial period of your membership lasts for one month, or as otherwise specified during sign-up. For combinations with other offers, restrictions may apply. Free trials are for new and certain former members only. Reelhouse reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine your free trial eligibility.
   2. We will begin billing your Payment Method for monthly membership fees at the end of the free trial period of your membership unless you cancel prior to the end of the free trial period. To view the specific details of your membership, including monthly membership price and end date of your free trial period, visit our website and click the "View billing details" link on the "Your Account" page. We may authorize your Payment Method through various methods, including authorizing it up to approximately one month of service as soon as you register. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization during your free trial period.
   3. You will not receive a notice from us that your free trial period has ended or that the paying portion of your membership has begun. CLICK THE "YOUR ACCOUNT" LINK AT THE TOP OF ANY REELHOUSE WEB PAGE (www.reelhouse.org) TO FIND CANCELLATION INSTRUCTIONS. We will continue to bill your Payment Method on a monthly basis for your membership fee until you cancel.
3. Billing
   1. Recurring Billing. By starting your Reelhouse SVOD membership and providing or designating a Payment Method, you authorize us to charge you a monthly membership fee at the then current rate, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Reelhouse service to your Payment Method. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary from month to month for reasons that may include differing amounts due to promotional offers, including gift card redemption and promotional code redemption, and/or changing or adding a plan, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts, which may be billed monthly in one or more charges.
   2. Price Changes. We reserve the right to adjust pricing for our service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes to your service will take effect following email notice to you.
   3. Billing Cycle. The membership fee for our service will be billed at the beginning of the paying portion of your membership and each month thereafter unless and until you cancel your membership. We automatically bill your Payment Method each month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying membership. Membership fees are fully earned upon payment. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, in particular, as indicated below, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled. In the event your paying membership began on a day not contained in a given month, we may bill your Payment Method on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate. For example, if you started your Reelhouse SVOD membership or became a paying member on January 31st, your next payment date is likely to be February 28th, and your Payment Method would be billed on that date. Your renewal date may change due to changes in your Membership. Visit our website and click on the "View billing details" link on the "Your Account" page to see the commencement date for your next renewal period. We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of membership or service-related charges. As used in these Terms of Use, "billing" shall indicate a charge, debit or other payment clearance, as applicable, against your Payment Method. Unless otherwise stated differently, month or monthly refers to your billing cycle.
   4. No Refunds. PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED PERIODS. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current billing period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our members ("credits"). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.
   5. Payment Methods. You may edit your Payment Method information by visiting our website and clicking on the "Your Account" link, available at the top of the pages of the Reelhouse website. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account (see, "Cancellation" below), you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. For certain Payment Methods, the issuer of your Payment Method may charge you a foreign transaction fee or other charges. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.
   6. Cancellation. You may cancel your Reelhouse SVOD membership at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Reelhouse service through the end of your monthly billing period. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL-MONTH MEMBERSHIP PERIODS OR UNWATCHED MOVIES OR TV SHOWS. To cancel, go to the "Your Account" page on our website and follow the instructions for cancellation. If you cancel your membership, your account will automatically close at the end of your current billing period. To see when your account will close, click "View billing details" on the "Your Account" page. If you signed up for Reelhouse SVOD using your account with a third party as a Payment Method, and wish to cancel your Reelhouse SVOD membership at any time, including during your free trial, you may need to do so through such third party, including by visiting your account with the applicable third party and turning off auto-renew, or unsubscribing from, the Reelhouse SVOD service through that third party. You may also find billing information about your Reelhouse SVOD membership by visiting your account with the applicable third party.
