- Creator Agreements; Campaigns; Samples; Compensation; Payment
- Creator Agreements. Creator will be solely responsible for entering into an agreement with each Brand with which Creator engages in connection with Creator’s use of the Services (a “Creator Agreement”). As a courtesy, in connection with Creator’s access and use of the Services, Popfly may make available to Creator certain template documents that could be useful to Creator in connection with its use of the Services, including, without limitation, a template Creator Agreement (the “Template Documents”). Alternatively, Creator may choose to contract with Brands using a different form of Creator Agreement that is acceptable to Creator and the relevant Brand(s). CREATOR UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT POPFLY IS NOT A PARTY TO OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CREATOR AGREEMENT THAT CREATOR MAY ENTER INTO, OR FOR ANY PART’S PERFORMANCE UNDER ANY CREATOR AGREEMENT. POPFLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO CREATOR’S CREATOR AGREEMENTS, CREATOR’S RELATIONSHIP OR INTERACTIONS WITH BRANDS, AND ANY CONTRIBUTIONS CREATED BY CREATOR FOR BRANDS, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. IN ADDITION, POPFLY MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE TEMPLATE DOCUMENTS. CREATOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT POPFLY IS NOT PROVIDING ANY LEGAL OR OTHER ADVICE WITH RESPECT TO THE TEMPLATE DOCUMENTS. POPFLY IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND IS NOT ENGAGED IN THE PRACTICE OF LAW. THE TEMPLATE DOCUMENTS SHOULD NOT BE USED IN LIEU OF THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL. CREATOR AGREES THAT CREATOR, AND NOT POPFLY, MUST EVALUATE AND BEAR ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF THE TEMPLATE DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING ANY RELIANCE ON THE ACCURACY, LEGALITY, APPROPRIATENESS, COMPLETENESS OR USEFULNESS OF ANY SUCH TEMPLATE DOCUMENTS. CREATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR INFORMING ITSELF OF THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO ITS JURISDICTION AND FOR COMPLYING WITH THEM. POPFLY HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE CONDUCT OF CREATOR OR THE BRANDS WHICH ENGAGE CREATOR.
- Campaigns. Creators may use the Services to engage with Brands in order to review solicitations by Brands for Creators to provide Contributions to Brands for such Brand’s use in marketing campaigns, and to offer to provide such Contributions as a Brand has requested. The Brand posting a marketing campaign solely controls the information they share related to such campaign and any decision to accept a Creator’s offer to provide Contributions for such campaign. Creator and a Brand may enter into an agreement through the Services for the Creator to provide Contributions to the Brand by following the prompts to establish all agreed terms and mutual acceptance of those terms. For the avoidance of doubt, such mutual acceptance shall constitute a Creator Agreement.
- Samples. As part of the Services, Popfly may assist Brands in providing Samples to Creator. Popfly (including its subcontractors) is a bailee with respect to such Samples and is forwarding such Samples to the Creators on the applicable Brand’s behalf, and Popfly (including its subcontractors) is neither a seller nor a distributor of any Samples. Title to all Samples will at all times remain with the applicable Brand until delivered to Creator, at which time title to such Samples will pass directly from the Brand to Creator. Creator is solely responsible for Creator’s use of such Samples, including but not limited to all requirements related to truth in advertising, and acknowledges and agrees that Popfly will have no liability with respect thereto. Creator is also solely responsible for returning any samples, if requested by the Brand.
- Compensation and Payment. Creators retained by a Brand to provide Contributions may be compensated by such Brand in a number of ways, including monetary payments, the receipt of products, merchandise, or other materials, or a combination of both. Any compensation arrangement is determined by the Brand that organized a marketing campaign and is communicated to the Creator via the description of such marketing campaign. Any payment terms shall be set forth in the applicable Creator Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Popfly will not owe Creator any compensation in relation to Creator’s use of the Services, provision of Contributions to a Brand, or for any other purpose contemplated under this Agreement. Creator agrees that Popfly has no responsibility or liability with respect to the payment of any such compensation, and Creator shall look solely to the relevant Brand to collect any such compensation.
- Taxes. Creator acknowledges and agrees that Popfly will not be responsible for withholding or paying any income, payroll, Social Security, or other federal, state, or local taxes (including but not limited to any such taxes payable with respect to compensation or Samples received by Creator from a Brand), making any insurance contributions, including for unemployment or disability, or obtaining workers’ compensation insurance on Creator’s behalf under this Agreement. Creator shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify Popfly against, all such taxes or contributions, including penalties and interest.

The parties acknowledge that each party had the opportunity to engage counsel in connection with reviewing and negotiating this Agreement and that, accordingly, no draftsman’s presumption or similar rule of construction shall be applied to construe this Agreement in favor of or against either party.
- Binding Arbitration
Without limiting your waiver and release in Section 8, you agree to the following:
- Purpose. Any and all Disputes (as defined below) involving you and Popfly will be resolved through individual arbitration. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and there is less discovery and appellate review than in court. This Section 14 (the "Arbitration Provision") shall be broadly interpreted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 11 does not apply to an action by either party to enjoin the infringement or misuse of its intellectual property rights, including copyright, trademark, patent or trade secret rights.
- Definitions. The term "Dispute" means any claim or controversy related to the Platform or Services, including but not limited to any and all: (1) claims for relief and theories of liability, whether based in contract, tort, fraud, negligence, statute, regulation, ordinance, or otherwise; (2) claims that arose before this Agreement or any prior agreement; (3) claims that arise after the expiration or termination of this Agreement; and (4) claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class. As used in this Arbitration Provision, "Popfly" means Popfly and any of its predecessors, successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries and affiliated companies and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and “you” means you and any users or beneficiaries of your access to the Platform or Services.
- Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding/Selection of Arbitrator. The party initiating the arbitration proceeding may open a case with JAMS, formerly Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc., (“JAMS”) by visiting its website (www.jamsadr.com) or calling its toll-free number (1-800-352-5267). You may deliver any required or desired notice to Popfly by mail to 1600 Sunflower Ave., Costa Mesa, CA 92626, U.S.A.
- Right to Sue in Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding anything in this Arbitration Provision to the contrary, either you or Popfly may bring an individual action in a small claims court in the area where you access the Services if the claim is not aggregated with the claim of any other person and if the amount in controversy is properly within the jurisdiction of the small claims court.
- Arbitration Procedures. This Arbitration Provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Arbitrations shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) as modified by the version of this Arbitration Provision that is in effect when you notify Popfly about your Dispute. You can obtain the JAMS Rules from the JAMS by visiting its website (www.jamsadr.com) or calling its toll-free number (1-800-352-5267). If there is a conflict between this Arbitration Provision and the rest of this Agreement, this Arbitration Provision shall govern. If there is a conflict between this Arbitration Provision and the JAMS rules, this Arbitration Provision shall govern. If JAMS will not administer a proceeding under this Arbitration Provision as written, the parties shall agree on a substitute arbitration organization. If the parties cannot agree, the parties shall mutually petition a court of appropriate jurisdiction to appoint an arbitration organization that will administer a proceeding under this Arbitration Provision as written applying the JAMS Rules. A single arbitrator will resolve the Dispute. Unless you and Popfly agree otherwise, any arbitration hearing will take place in Wilmington, Delaware. The arbitrator will honor claims of privilege recognized by law and will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other confidential or proprietary information. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision that explains the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions. The arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties only if necessary for purposes of enforcing the arbitrator’s award. An arbitrator’s award that has been fully satisfied shall not be entered in any court.
- Waiver of Class Actions and Collective Relief. THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON A CLASS ACTION, JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR ON BASES INVOLVING CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC (SUCH AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL), OTHER SUBSCRIBERS OR USERS, OR OTHER PERSONS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT INDIVIDUAL PARTY’S CLAIM. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
- Arbitration Fees and Costs. The payment of the JAMS fees and costs will be governed by the JAMS Rules. You may hire an attorney to represent you in arbitration. You are responsible for your attorneys’ fees and additional costs and may only recover your attorneys’ fees and costs in the arbitration to the extent that you could in court if the arbitration is decided in your favor. Notwithstanding anything in this Arbitration Provision to the contrary, Popfly will pay all fees and costs that it is required by law to pay.
- Severability and Waiver of Jury Trial. If any part of Section 14.6 of this Arbitration Provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the entire Arbitration Provision will be unenforceable and the Dispute will be decided by a court. WHETHER IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND POPFLY AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW. If any other clause in this Arbitration Provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Arbitration Provision and the remainder of this Arbitration Provision will be given full force and effect.
- Continuation. This Arbitration Provision will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
