You are solely responsible for any such charges.
  2. If you purchase a Subscription, you agree to pay all fees and charges associated with that Subscription on a timely basis. Unless otherwise stated, all fees and charges are due and payable in advance and are non-refundable. All such fees and charges will be charged on each 30-day anniversary from the day your Subscription was activated to the payment method you provided when you purchased the Subscription.
  3. You agree to maintain a valid payment method during the term of any Subscription. Failure to do so may lead to a cancellation of your Subscription.

  5. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT EACH SUBSCRIPTION AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS, AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED, UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, OR WE SUSPEND OR TERMINATE IT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS OF USE.
  6. When you initially purchase a Subscription, your credit card or other payment method will be authorized for the amount of the Subscription but will only be charged once you have been granted access to the applicable Influencer Profile. Please allow up to 5 business days after the purchase of a Subscription for your access to the Influencer Profile to be granted. If you do not receive access to an Influencer Profile within 5 business days after the purchase of your Subscription, your credit card or other payment method will not be charged and your Subscription purchase will be cancelled.

We reserve the right to change your monthly Subscription fee at any time in our sole discretion; however, any price changes will not be implemented until your next monthly Subscription period and we will always give you reasonable notice prior to such implementation.

Influencer Terms:

The following terms apply to Influencers on the Platform:

The Program

  1. The GreenRing Influencer program (the “Program”) is designed to enable Influencers to charge a monthly recurring fee to Customers for access to Influencer Profiles. You will sign up for an account through the Platform and indicate the Influencer Profile(s) that will be available for Subscriptions on the Platform. You must own, have administrative privileges and/or have proper publicist relations on behalf of the Influencer and Influencer Profile that are the subject of any Subscription offering.
  2. You will provide access to the applicable Influencer Profile to all Customers who purchase a Subscription through the Platform, as communicated to you by GreenRing, and verify its completion. You must notify GreenRing within 72 hours of receiving notice of a Subscription if you are unable to grant a Customer access to the applicable Influencer Profile or if a Subscription conflicts with your content guidelines and policies. If you fail to add Customers to an Influencer Profile on more than three consecutive Subscription orders, you may be subject to removal or suspension from the Program.
  3. You will post a minimum of one (1) post on average to each applicable Influencer Profile per day.
  4. You are not allowed to solicit Customers outside of GreenRing regarding payments for Subscriptions on any Influencer Profile. All payments are handled by GreenRing. Compensation for approved Subscriptions will only be credited if the order is completed through the Platform. During Influencer’s participation in the Program, Influencer will not grant any other person or entity the right to monetize subscriptions to any applicable Influencer Profile subject to the Program. If you violate the terms of this paragraph, you will be liable to GreenRing for its proportional percentage of any fees that would otherwise be due to GreenRing, in addition to any other rights and remedies of GreenRing at law or in equity.
  5. You must abide by all laws and policies applicable to any Influencer Profile, including any rules and policies of the Social Media Platforms on which the Influencer Profile is maintained. If an Influencer Profile is suspended or terminated in any manner, including by any Social Media Platform, we may issue refunds to Customers with Subscriptions to such Influencer Profile, in our sole discretion, and such amounts may be appropriately deducted from Influencer Revenue (as defined below).
  6. If you violate these Terms of Use, we may suspend or terminate your account and you may be required to forfeit any balance in your account.

Term and Termination

Influencer or GreenRing may terminate Influencer’s participation in the Program for any reason upon written notice to the other party, with immediate effect. Notice to GreenRing for such purpose can be sent to [email protected]. Upon any such termination, Influencer shall maintain any Subscribers’ access to any Influencer Profile for the duration of any then-outstanding Subscription periods. We have the right, in our sole discretion as we deem necessary to maintain the integrity of the Platform, to refund Subscription payments made by any Customers to the Platform, even if Influencer maintains its duties to such Customers for the duration of any ongoing Subscriptions following termination of Influencer’s participation in the Program.

Payments

  1. GreenRing will pay Influencer seventy percent (70%) of all fees actually received from Customers for Subscriptions to your Influencer Profiles procured through the Platform, less any chargebacks, Customer disputed amounts or refunds (“Influencer Revenue”). All credit card processing fees shall be added on top of Subscription fees and thus shall not be deducted from the calculation of Influencer Revenue.
  2. You will be granted access to a real-time dashboard specific to your Subscriptions to allow you to track all revenue and accounting related to your Subscriptions.
  3. Payments will be made by GreenRing on or before the 1st day (or next successive business day if a weekend or bank holiday) of the month following the date which is 30 days after the end of a Subscription period. For example, if a Customer’s monthly Subscription period ends on May 25, payment for such monthly Subscription period will be paid by July 1 (or next successive business day). Payments will be made to an account designated by Influencer in writing.
  4. Upon termination of the Program, or termination of Influencer’s participation in the Program by either GreenRing or Talent, GreenRing shall have no further obligations to Influencer, except for the payment of undisputed Influencer Revenue generated on the Platform prior to the date of termination.

Confidentiality

Influencer shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party, other than Influencer’s representatives who have a need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the services provided hereunder. Influencer shall be responsible for any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information by such representatives. Further, Influencer agrees to use the Confidential Information solely in connection with the current or contemplated business relationship between the parties. No other right or license, whether expressed or implied in the Confidential Information is granted to Influencer hereunder, and all rights to Confidential Information shall remain with us. All use of Confidential Information shall be for the benefit of us and the current or contemplated business relationship between the parties. All such confidentiality obligations shall survive the termination of your participation on the Program.

The Platform and the Platform Services are intended for use only in jurisdictions where they may lawfully be offered for use. Except as restricted by applicable law, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Platform or the Platform Services.

Entire Agreement, Waiver and Severability

These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between GreenRing and you pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and GreenRing with respect to the Platform.

GreenRing’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use shall not be construed as a waiver of any provisions or right. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of GreenRing. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms of Use, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms of Use will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms of Use or otherwise.
