c) Good Faith. The Company and the Creator will cooperate with each other in good faith on a claim.
15.5 No Exclusivity. The Company’s rights under this section 15 do not affect other rights that the Company might have.
16. Dispute Resolution
16.1 Litigation Election. Either party may litigate the following type of case or controversy: (1) an action seeking injunctive relief, or (2) a suit to compel compliance with this dispute resolution procedure.
16.2 Negotiation. Each party will give the other a reasonable opportunity to comply before it claims that the other has not met the obligations under this agreement. The parties will first meet and negotiate with each other in good faith to try to resolve all disputes between the parties arising out of this agreement or relating to the subject matter of this agreement. The party raising a dispute will submit to the other party a written notice and supporting material describing all issues and circumstances related to the dispute (a “dispute notice”).
16.3 Mediation. If the parties’ primary representatives are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days after receiving the dispute notice, either party may, by notice to the other party and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), demand mediation under the ICC Mediation Rules. Mediation will take place in the United Kingdom and the language of the mediation will be English. Each party will bear its own costs in mediation and the parties will share equally between them all third-party mediation costs unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Each party will participate actively and constructively in mediation proceedings once Creatorted and will attend at least one joint meeting between the mediator and the parties. Any party may terminate mediation at any time after an initial meeting between the mediator and the parties.
16.4 Arbitration
a) If the parties fail to settle a dispute through mediation, the parties will settle any unresolved dispute arising out of or relating to this agreement, or the breach of it, by arbitration administered by the ICC in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the ICC. The arbitrator, and not any court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this agreement, including any claim that any part of this agreement is void or voidable.
b) A single arbitrator will preside over the arbitration. The arbitrator may grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity, except that the arbitrator will not award punitive or exemplary damages, or damages otherwise limited or excluded in this agreement. The arbitrator will issue a final award on all issues submitted to the arbitrator, which award must set out findings of fact and conclusions of law. The arbitrator’s award will bind the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
c) Arbitration will take place in the United Kingdom, and the language of the arbitration will be English. Subject to the prevailing party’s rights under section 16.7, the parties will bear equally the costs of arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, and each party will bear the costs associated with its case.
d) Unless required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator will disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under this agreement without the advance written consent of both parties.
16.5 Injunctive Relief. The Creator acknowledges that breach by the Creator of the Creator’s obligations under this agreement could cause irreparable harm for which damages would be an inadequate remedy. If any breach occurs or is threatened, the Company may seek an injunction, a restraining order, or any other equitable remedy, in each case without posting a bond or other security.
16.6 Jurisdiction and Venue
a) If a party brings any proceeding seeking an injunction, a restraining order, or any other equitable remedy to which that party is entitled under this agreement, that party will bring that proceeding only in the courts located in the United Kingdom, and each party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of those courts for purposes of any proceeding.
b) Each party hereby waives any claim that any proceeding brought in accordance with section 16.6(a) has been brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of that proceeding is improper.
16.7 Recovery of Expenses. In any proceedings between the parties arising out of this agreement or relating to the subject matter of this agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover from the other party, in addition to any other relief awarded, all costs and expenses that the prevailing party incurs in those proceedings, including legal fees and expenses. For purposes of this section 16.7, “prevailing party” means, for any proceedings, the party in whose favor an award or judgment is rendered, except that if in those proceedings the award or judgment finds in favor of one party on one or more claims or counterclaims and in favor of the other party on one or more other claims or counterclaims, neither party will be the prevailing party. If any proceedings are voluntarily dismissed or are dismissed as part of settlement of that dispute, neither party will be the prevailing party in those proceedings.
16.8 Class Action Waiver. The parties will conduct all proceedings to resolve a dispute in any forum on an individual basis only.
Neither the Creator nor the Company will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or participate in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. The parties will not combine any proceeding with another without the advanced written consent of all parties to all affected proceedings.
16.9 Limited Time to Bring Claims. A party will not bring a claim arising out of, or related to the subject matter of, this agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Any claim brought after one year is barred.

17.1 Entire Agreement. This agreement and the Terms of Service Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter. It supersedes all earlier written or oral discussions, negotiations, proposals, undertakings, understandings, and agreements between the parties concerning the transactions contemplated by this agreement. If any conflict or inconsistency exists between this agreement and the Terms of Service Agreement, this agreement will govern.
17.2 Amendment. The Company may change this agreement on one or more occasions, on condition that changes will not apply to ongoing disputes or disputes arising out of events occurring before the posted changes. The Company will notify the Creator through the Website or by email of any changes to this agreement. Changes will become effective when posted on this page. It is the Creator’s responsibility to check this page periodically for changes to this agreement. If the Creator continues to use the Website after any change, the Company will consider the Creator’s continued use as acceptance of the change unless the Creator notifies the Company in writing no later than 15 days after the change.

17.4 Waivers. The parties may waive any provision of this agreement only by a writing signed by the party or parties against whom the waiver is sought to be enforced. No failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy, or in requiring the satisfaction of any condition, under this agreement, and no act, omission, or course of dealing between the parties, operates as a waiver or estoppel of any right, remedy, or condition. A waiver made in writing on one occasion is effective only in that instance and only for the purpose stated. A waiver once given is not to be construed as a waiver on any future occasion or against any other person.
17.5 Severability. The parties intend as follows:
a) that if any provision of this agreement is held to be unenforceable, then that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that modification is not permitted by law, in which case that provision will be disregarded;
b) that if modifying or disregarding the unenforceable provision would result in failure of an essential purpose of this agreement, the entire agreement will be held unenforceable;
c) that if an unenforceable provision is modified or disregarded in accordance with this section 17.5, then the rest of the agreement will remain in effect as written; and
d) that any unenforceable provision will remain as written in any circumstances other than those in which the provision is held to be unenforceable.
17.6 Notices
a) Form. All notices and other communications between the parties will be in writing.
b) Method

The Creator may change the Creator’s contact information by updating the contact information in the Creator’s account.
c) Receipt. The Company will consider an email notice received by it only when the Company’s server sends a return message to the Creator acknowledging receipt. The Company will consider notices sent to the Creator by email received when the Company’s email service shows transmission to the Creator’s email address. All other notices will be effective on receipt by the party to which notice is given, or on the fifth day after posting, whichever occurs first.
17.7 Governing Law. English law governs all matters arising out of or relating to this agreement, including its validity, interpretation, construction, performance, and enforcement, without giving effect to its conflicts of law principles.
17.8 Force Majeure
a) If a force majeure event prevents a party from complying with any one or more obligations under this agreement, that inability will not constitute a breach if (1) that party uses reasonable efforts to perform those obligations, (2) that party’s inability to perform those obligations is not due to its failure to (A) take reasonable measures to protect itself against events or circumstances of the same type as that force majeure event or (B) develop and keep a reasonable contingency plan to respond to events or circumstances of the same type as that force majeure event, and (3) that party complies with its obligations under section 17.8(c).
b) For purposes of this agreement, “force majeure event” means, for any party, any event or circumstance, whether or not foreseeable, that was not caused by that party (other than a strike or other labor unrest that affects only that party, an increase in prices or other change in general economic conditions, a change in law, or an event or circumstances that results in that party’s not having sufficient funds to comply with an obligation to pay money) and any consequences of that event or circumstance.
c) If a force majeure event occurs, the noncomplying party will promptly notify the other party of occurrence of that force majeure event, its effect on performance, and how long the noncomplying party expects it to last. From then on, the noncomplying party will update that information as reasonably necessary. During a force majeure event, the noncomplying party will use reasonable efforts to limit damages to the other party and to resume its performance under this agreement.
17.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This agreement does not, and the parties do not intend it to, confer any rights or remedies on any person other than the parties to this agreement.
17.10 Relationship of the Parties. The parties intend that their relationship will be that of independent contractors and not business partners. This agreement does not, and the parties do not intend it to, create a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, or employment relationship between the parties and the parties expressly disclaim the existence of any of these relationships between them. Neither party is the agent for the other, and neither party has the right to bind the other to any agreement with a third party.
17.11 Successors and Assigns. This agreement binds and inures to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This section 17.11 does not address, directly or indirectly, whether a party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this agreement. Section 17.3 addresses these matters.

The Zuvlo Ambassador Referral Program is operated by Opinex International Limited. We are a limited company registered in the United Kingdom, with company registration number: 15368765 and registered address: C/O The Accountancy Partnership Suite 5, 5th Floor, City Reach, 5 Greenwich View Place, London, United Kingdom, E14 9NN.
4. The rules of the Zuvlo Ambassador Referral Program:
a. Only Users of Zuvlo with a current registered and approved Creator account can participate in the Zuvlo Ambassador Referral Program. If a Creator's account has been suspended or terminated by us for any reason or deleted by the Creator, that Creator will not be eligible to participate in the Zuvlo Ambassador Referral Program.
b. You will need on your Creator account page to add bank account details of your own bank account in order to receive referral payments under the Zuvlo Ambassador Referral Program.
c. Each User has multiple unique referral links (which can be accessed via the User's account in the account dashboard) which the User may share with others. When sharing your unique referral link you must not impersonate Zuvlo or give the impression that your referral link is being shared or promoted by us. You must not use Google Ads or any similar advertising platform or search engine advertising service to share or promote your unique referral link. Upon our request, you must disclose the methods by which you share your unique referral links in the Bio/Website field of your Zuvlo account.
d. The Referred Creator must click on your unique referral link and then register with Zuvlo using the same browser that they used to click on your unique referral link. If someone registers with Zuvlo other than by using your unique referral link, we will not link that account to your referral and we will not make any referral payment to you.
e. The Referred Creator must not have previously opened a Creator or Fan account with Zuvlo (whether under the same name or another name) before clicking on your unique referral link. If the Referred Creator is currently or has previously been a user of Zuvlo we will not make any referral payment to you for the referral.
f. If the Referred Creator sets up more than one Creator account we will make referral payments to you on the earnings made by the Referred Creator from their first Creator account only. We will not pay any referral payments to you on any further Creator accounts set up by the Referred Creator.
g. Unless pre-approved in writing by Zuvlo we will not pay any referral payments to you on any referral of a Referred Creator which we determine is owned or operated by you, or is in a commercial relationship with you. In order to arrange pre-approval you will provide Zuvlo with any information which we request to enable us to determine whether the Referred Creator is owned or operated by you or if there is a commercial relationship between you and the Referred Creator. Zuvlo shall grant pre-approval of a Referred Creator which we determine is owned or operated by you solely at our own discretion.
h. You agree that when promoting Zuvlo in any way as a Referring User:
- you will not give a false impression of Zuvlo, the services, programs, and content (including Content) made available through Zuvlo, its Users or the Terms of Service; and
- you will not make any statements which suggest to a potential Creator that the potential Creator will make a particular sum of money (or any money) from their use of Zuvlo, or any statements regarding the likely number of Fans.
i. Although we do not demand any payment from Referring Users for the purposes of participating in the Zuvlo Ambassador Program, we are legally required to inform you that if you sign this contract, you have 14 days in which to cancel and get your money back.
5. Referral payments:
a. How are referral payments calculated? Once a Referred Creator has become a registered Creator on Zuvlo in accordance with the rules of the Zuvlo Ambassador Program described above, we will pay the Referring User a referral payment equal to nine per cent. (9%) of Net Revenues generated by the Referred Creator in perpetuity after the date on which the Referred Creator becomes a registered Creator on Zuvlo.
b. VAT: If you are a Referring User you should know that all referral payments payable to you by us will be inclusive of any VAT (as defined in the Creator Agreement) which is or becomes chargeable on any supplies made by you.
c. Warning: In compliance with regulation 3 of the Trading Scheme Regulations 1997 (as amended) and section 120(1) of the Fair Trading Act 1973, please read the warning below in respect of the Zuvlo Ambassador Program:
- It is illegal for a participant in the Zuvlo Ambassador Program (including Referring Users and Referred Creators) to persuade anyone to make a payment by promising benefits from getting others to join the Zuvlo Ambassador Program.
- Do not be misled by claims that high earnings are easily achieved from participation in the Zuvlo Ambassador Program.
d. Choosing a payout method to receive referral payments: In order to be able to receive referral payments you must first choose one of the payout methods provided by Zuvlo in your country of residence. These methods are called "Payout Options".
e. How frequently are referral payments made? For fraud management and security reasons Zuvlo holds referral revenue for 2 weeks before it is released and it can be requested as payout from regular balance ("Holding Period"). Following the end of the Holding Period we will transfer to your Zuvlo account the referral payment due to you on Net Revenue made to by the Referred Creator in a calendar month on or around the fifth day of the next calendar month (which means, for example, that referral payments due to you in respect of Net Revenue made to the Referred Creator in June shall be paid to you on or around 05 July).
f. Who bears the cost of the referral payment? The cost of the referral payment is borne by Zuvlo, not the Referred Creator.
6. Our rights relating to the referral program.
a. If referral payments have been made incorrectly then we have the right to recover the wrongly paid sums from the Creator to whom the wrongly paid sums have been paid.
b. We may request you or Referred Creators (or both) to provide us with ID and other information reasonably required by us to verify any referral payment to be made and the person to whom any referral payment should be made. Failure to provide any information requested by us may lead to you losing your entitlement to referral payments in respect of the relevant Referred Creator.
c. We may change any aspect of the Zuvlo Ambassador Program (including how referral payments are calculated) or discontinue the Zuvlo Ambassador Program at any time, but no change will deprive any Referring User of referral payments already earned based on Net Revenues made to Referred Creators before the changes came into effect.
7. Circumstances in which we may withhold referral payments:
a. We may withhold all or any part of the referral payments due to you but not yet paid out:
- if we think that you have or may have seriously or repeatedly breached any part of the Terms of Service;
- if you attempt or threaten to breach any part of the Terms of Service in a way which has or could have serious consequences for us or another User (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User); or
- if we suspect that all or any part of the referral payments due to you result from unlawful activity, either by you, by the Fan who made the Fan Payment to the Referred Creator which resulted in the referral payment, or by the Referred Creator to whom the Fan Payment was made which resulted in the referral payment, for as long as is necessary to investigate the actual, threatened or suspected breach(es) 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 the Terms of Service; (ii) you have attempted or threatened to breach any part of the Terms of Service in a way which has or could have serious consequences for us or another User (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User), and/or (iii) all or any part of referral payments due to you result from unlawful activity, we may notify you that you have forfeited all or any part of your referral payments.
b. We shall not have any responsibility to you if we withhold or forfeit any payment due to you under the Zuvlo Ambassador Program where we have a right to do so under these Referral Program Terms.
c. If we are withholding all or any part of the referral payments due to you and we determine that part of the referral payments withheld by us is unrelated to breaches by you of the Terms of Service or suspected unlawful activity, then we may pay to you the part of the referral payments which is unrelated to breaches by you of the Terms of Service or suspected unlawful activity. However, you agree that if we consider that your breach(es) of the Terms of Service has or may cause us loss, we may withhold all referral payments due to you but not yet paid and we may set off such amounts against any losses suffered by us.
