  2. Creator License. In addition to the rights granted to us to your User Videos as set forth in the EULA and subject to the terms below, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, unrestricted, unconditional, unlimited, worldwide right and license (with right to sublicense) to use your approved names, usernames, nicknames, titles, logos, trademarks, trade names, and service marks, copyrights, and any other materials created or used by you (which must be approved by us in writing) in connection with the Program (collectively, the “Creator Materials”) to advertise, market, promote and publicize in any manner the Program, your participation in the Program and/or to promote Triller or our Services. Triller will not be required to use the Creator Materials or to advertise, market, promote or publicize your affiliation with the Program. You represent and warrant that the Creator Materials, your page and any other materials created or used by you in connection with the Program will not contain anything that, in Triller’s sole judgment, violates any law, regulation or ordinance or third party rights, is considered to be defamatory or constitute libel or slander, may be inconsistent with Triller’s public image, may be in bad taste, are indecent or in Triller’s opinion otherwise objectionable, or may tend to bring disparagement, ridicule, or scorn upon Triller or any Creator and/or subsidiary companies. You are responsible for ensuring that the Creator Materials and any other materials posted on your website do not violate, infringe or misappropriate copyrights, right of publicity, trademark rights or other rights of us or any third party. You must have express written permission to use another party’s intellectual, proprietary or contractual rights, or to use another’s name, portrait, voice or likeness and you agree to provide such written permission to us promptly upon request. You will be solely responsible for the development, operation and maintenance of your page, for all materials that appear on your page, and for all marketing and promotion you conduct on your own.

  5. Third Party Rights. Unless otherwise approved by Triller in writing, no additional license or consent from, or obligation to attribute or credit, any third party is necessary for Triller to receive or use the User Videos without obligation or liability to any third party.

3. Compliance with Law. Without limiting anything else in this Addendum, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you will at all times comply with all government laws and regulations, and voluntary industry standards, applicable to the Program and your activities, including, without limitation, labor and employment laws and anti-bribery and corruption laws (e.g., the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act), The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 (the “CAN-SPAM Act”), Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and other government regulations and guidelines, and will maintain appropriate customary high quality standards during the Creator Term (defined below). Further, in any Creator Materials that are sponsored by a third party, you will conspicuously disclose your Creator status with respect to the Program and that you receive compensation from Triller for promoting the Services, all in compliance with the requirements of the FTC’s Endorsement and Testimonial Guidelines, available at: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/10/endortest.shtm. Further, and without limitation, you: (i) will clearly and conspicuously disclose your true identity and that you have received compensation, product and/or other incentive items from Triller or a brand partner proximate to any mention by you of Triller or brand partner; (ii) will not make any false, misleading or deceptive statement and will not make any product performance or attribute claims about products (you may express opinions, but will not make factual claims about the products); (iii) will ensure that all of your statements accurately reflect only your honest, current opinions and beliefs based on your personal experience; (iv) will not purport to speak on behalf of Triller or a brand partner; and (v) will maintain your social media channels and activities related to the services in a manner appropriate for a family audience and will not be rude or abusive. Accordingly, when creating or publishing a blog post in connection with the Program, you must always clearly and conspicuously disclose that you have a connection with a brand partner and Triller (e.g., you are participating in the Program) and, you have received something of value. You must make these disclosures whether you are providing brand partner publicity orally or in writing. For certain online media venues, you can use short-form disclosures such as “AD”, “PAID” and “SPONSORED” or otherwise you must make a disclosure that is materially similar to the following: “I have accepted compensation from [insert name of brand partner] in exchange for my post.” Triller reserves the right to monitor and/or review all Creator Materials and User Videos. Triller reserves the right at all times to require you to edit, take down, or otherwise remove Creator Materials published through Service accounts that in our sole discretion are objectionable or in violation of this Addendum.

4. Revenue Sharing.

a. Your Net Revenue Share. We shall credit to your account under the EULA (as amended by this Addendum) the following royalties derived from Net Receipts (as defined below), if any (“Your Net Revenue Share”):

(i) “Tokens” or Similar Third-Party Virtual Currency Contributions. fifty percent (50%) of Net Receipts derived from so-called Tokens (as defined in the EULA) or other similar third-party virtual currency contributions (“Third-Party Contributions”) (with the remainder of such Net Receipts being retained by us for our own account); and

(ii) Earnings Derived from Procured Opportunities. Eighty percent (80%) of Net Receipts derived from Procured Opportunities (together with Third-Party Contributions, collectively, “Subject Earnings”) (with the remainder of such Net Receipts being retained by us for our own account).

b. Accounting. Within thirty (30) days of the end of each month where Net Receipts are received by us that exceed the minimum amount set forth below, we will compute the total amount of Your Net Revenue Share pursuant to this Addendum and will submit to you, by email (or to any other email address that you may subsequently specify in an email forwarded to [email protected]), a royalty statement (or access to an online reporting dashboard) for each such period (if we make such available generally to all Creators), and remit Your Net Revenue Share to you by PayPal or other similar online method of payment, by mailing you a check or by any other payment method selected at our sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not be obligated to make any payment otherwise due hereunder if an amount less than One Hundred Dollars (U.S. $100.00) is due to you with respect to any applicable accounting statement, provided that any such amount will be carried forward until such time as the amount due to you equals or exceeds One Hundred Dollars (U.S. $100.00). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied in this Addendum, (i) each accounting statement will be deemed to have been rendered on the date ninety (90) days after the last day of the applicable quarter-annual period unless, within thirty (30) days after such deemed-rendered date, we receive notice, in an email forwarded to [email protected], of non-receipt of such statement from you, (ii) any objection relating to any accounting statement must be made (and any claim arising therefrom must be commenced in arbitration, pursuant to the terms of the EULA) no later than one (1) year after the date on which such statement is rendered to you (or deemed rendered as aforesaid), and you hereby waive any longer statute of limitation that may otherwise be applicable.

c. Net Receipts Definition. The term “Net Receipts”, as used herein, means all sums (if any) derived from Subject Earnings earned throughout the world that are actually received by us in the United States, less any actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by us in connection with such Subject Earnings and/or in connection with the payment to you of Your Net Revenue Share (including, without limitation, wire transfer and/or payment processing fees, if applicable) and/or any amount that you may owe us for any reason. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied in this Addendum, (i) in no event will you be entitled to share in any payment of any kind or nature that we receive except to the extent, if at all, that such payment relates solely or is specifically and identifiably attributable to your User Videos, (ii) you will not be entitled to any additional consideration of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether under the EULA (as amended by this Addendum) or otherwise, in connection with any rights granted by you hereunder or the exploitation thereof, and (iii) in no event will you be entitled to audit or otherwise examine any of our books or records, whether relating to Your Net Revenue Share or otherwise.

d. Payments. Prior to receiving Your Net Revenue Share payments from us, you may be required by us to fill out and submit a W-9 and send it back to us in the method we request. Only after your W-9 has been received by us will you be eligible to receive Your Net Revenue Share payments from us. Subject to compliance with the terms of this Addendum, we will pay you any of Your Net Revenue Share earned by you on a monthly basis and only after our actual receipt of the payment from the purchaser. If you terminate this Addendum, we will pay you any undisputed Net Receipts earned by you within sixty (60) days of the date your written notice of termination is received by us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to extend the time in which we send out any Net Receipts if we offer the ability to obtain a refund from the purchase of a product or service until sixty (60) days after the refund period expires. Subject to the foregoing, we will either deposit Your Net Revenue Share in your designated PayPal account or send you a check for any Net Receipts you have earned via mail to the address we have on file for you. If returns, refunds or other events require recalculation of Net Receipts for a period for which Your Net Revenue Share has already been paid, we will offset from Net Receipts payable in succeeding periods by the amount which Net Receipts are reduced by such recalculation. We may maintain a reasonable reserve against such deductions. If there are no subsequent Net Receipts payable, we will send you an invoice for reimbursement of the overpaid Net Receipts, and you agree to pay any such invoice within fifteen (15) days of the date of such invoice. You will be solely responsible for reporting and paying all income and other related taxes associated with Your Net Revenue Share paid to you and for all compensation benefits and taxes to or for your employees and any third parties engaged by you in connection with your participation in the Program. If you are an individual, we may deduct from Your Net Revenue Share any unemployment insurance payments or any other payments required by law for us to withhold or pay in connection with your participation in the Program. You will defend, indemnify and hold us harmless in all respects with respect to any taxes, penalties, damages, costs and expenses relating to our payments made to you hereunder without withholding of taxes. We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to withhold payment of any Net Receipts owed to you if we have any suspicion or actual evidence of electronic or non-electronic tampering with any portion of the Program, or if a computer virus, bug, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical difficulties, or failures compromise or corrupt or affect the administration, integrity or security of the Program by you or a third party.

5. Termination. Either party may terminate this Addendum at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice of termination. Additionally, if at any time there has been no substantial activity on your Program account for at least twelve (12) consecutive months, and you have not earned at least $100 in Net Receipts during that twelve (12) month period, we may close your inactive account and terminate this Agreement. If you have accrued Net Receipts in your account, a maintenance fee will be deduced from your remaining balance. The maintenance fee will be the lesser of the accrued Net Receipts in your account or $25.00. Any remaining balance will be paid to you. If we terminate this Addendum because you are in material breach of a term hereof, we may withhold compensation payable to you and we may terminate this Addendum without further obligation to you including the obligation to pay compensation. All licenses granted by us to you terminate automatically upon termination of this Addendum, and you will immediately cease use of any Licensed Materials.
