10. Intellectual property rights – ownership and licenses:
a. You confirm that you own all intellectual property rights (examples of which are copyright and trademarks) in your Content or that you have obtained all necessary rights to your Content which are required to grant licenses in respect of your Content to us and to other Users.

c. The license which you grant to us under sub-section 10(b) above is perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, assignable, and transferable by us. This means that the license will continue even after your agreement with us ends and you stop using Privefans, that we do not have to pay you for the license, and that we can grant a sub-license of your Content to someone else or assign or transfer the license to someone else. This license will allow us, for example, to add stickers, text, and watermarks to your Content, to make your Content available to other Users of Privefans, as well as to use your Content for other normal operations of Privefans. We will never sell your Content to other platforms, though we may sell or transfer any license you grant to us in the Terms of Service in the event of a sale of our company or its assets to a third party.
d. Whilst we do not own your Content, you grant us the limited right to submit notifications of infringement (including of copyright or trademark) on your behalf to any third-party website or service that hosts or is otherwise dealing in infringing copies of your Content without your permission. Although we are not under any obligation to do so, we may at any time submit or withdraw any such notification to any third-party website or service where we consider it appropriate to do so.

12. Linking to and from Privefans:
a. Links to Privefans:
You may link to the Privefans homepage, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it, but you must not establish a link in such a way as to suggest any form of association, approval, or endorsement on our part.
If you are a Model, when promoting your Model account you must comply with our Terms of Service and the terms of service of any other website where you place a link to or otherwise promote your Model account. When promoting your Model account, you must not impersonate Privefans or give the impression that your Model account is being promoted by us if this is not the case.

If you decide to access any of the third-party websites linked to Privefans, you do so entirely at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of use for such websites.
If third party links are found to contain illegal or standard-violating contents, the link to those sites will be removed.
c. Domain Names:
In some instances, Privefans may allow Models to register or use domain names that contain the Privefans trademark or a confusingly similar term. However, you will not register such a domain name unless:

ii. The domain name redirects to the Model’s Privefans profile. Domain names containing the Privefans trademark or a confusingly similar term must not direct to any other website, including link aggregators.
iii. The Model obtains prior written permission from Privefans and signs a licensing agreement.
If you would like to register a domain name containing the Privefans trademark or a confusingly similar term, please contact contact@privefans.com.

8. Subscriptions and purchases by Fans:
This section describes the terms which apply to Fan/Model Transactions:
a. All Fan/Model Transactions are contracts between Fans and Models on the terms of the Standard Contract between Fan and Model.

b. Models are solely responsible for determining (within the parameters for pricing on Privefans) the pricing applicable to Fan/Model Transactions and the Content to which you may be given access.
c. Fan Payments are exclusive of VAT, which shall be added at the current rate as applicable to Fan Payments.

Your payment card provider may charge you currency conversion fees. We do not have control over currency exchange rates or charges imposed by your payment card provider or bank, and we and our subsidiary companies will not be responsible for paying any charges or fees imposed by your payment card provider or bank.
f. If you choose to provide details of two or more payment cards, then if you try to make a Fan Payment from the first card and the card is rejected for any reason, the other payment card will be used to collect the full Fan Payment.
g. The payment provider will take (i) periodic payments from your payment card for Fan Payments which are Subscriptions; and (ii) immediate payments from your payment card for Fan Payments other than Subscriptions (including any tips paid by you to a Model and Token purchases). You authorize and consent to each of these payments being debited using your supplied payment card details.
h. Apart from free-trial Subscriptions, all Subscriptions to a Model's profile will automatically renew at the end of the relevant subscription period, except if your payment card is declined, the subscription price for the Subscription has increased, or you have canceled the subscription on the ‘Subscriptions’ page in your account. If you cancel a Subscription, you will continue to be permitted to view the relevant Model's Content until the end of the subscription period in which you canceled, after which no further payments will be taken from your payment card in respect of subscriptions to that Model's profile (unless you choose to pay for a new Subscription to that Model’s profile), and you will no longer be able to view the relevant Model's Content.
i. You agree that you will not make unjustified requests for a refund in respect of any Fan/Model Transaction or tip to a Model, or unjustified chargeback requests of your payment card provider in relation to any Fan/Model Transaction or tip to a Model. If we consider that any request for a refund or chargeback request was made by you in bad faith, we have the right to suspend or delete your User account.
9. Suspension of your User account:
If we suspend your User account in accordance with our rights under the Terms of Service, then any Fan Payments which would otherwise have fallen due during the period of suspension of your User account will be suspended during the period of the suspension of your User account.

It is illegal for us or for a participant in the Privefans Referral Program (including Referring Users and Referred Users) to persuade anyone to make payment by promising benefits from getting others to join the Privefans Referral Program.
Do not be misled by claims that high earnings are easily achieved from participation in the Privefans Referral Program.
Although we do not demand any payment from Referring Users for the purposes of participating in the Privefans Referral 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.
1. Introduction: These Referral Program Terms are additional terms that apply if you use the Privefans Referral Program. These Referral Program Terms form part of your agreement with us.
2. Interpretation: In these Referral Program Terms, defined terms have the same meanings given to them in the Terms of Use for all Users. In addition:
a. "Referring User" is also referred to as "you" or "your" in these Referral Program Terms;
b. "Referred User" means the person who joins Privefans via the Referring User's unique referral link.
3. What is the Privefans Referral Program? Privefans offers a referral program by which existing Users can introduce people who are interested in becoming either Fans or Models to Privefans and receive referral payments from Privefans, which are calculated and limited as described in these Referral Program Terms.
The Privefans Referral Program is operated by Privefans Limited, 13 Baggot Street Upper, 2nd Floor, Dublin 4, D04 W7K5, Ireland.
The rules of the Privefans Referral Program are:

c. Each User has a unique referral link (which can be accessed via the User's account) that the User may share with others. When sharing your unique referral link, you must not impersonate Privefans 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 link in the Bio/Website field of your Privefans account.
d. The Referred User must click on your unique referral link and then register with Privefans using the same browser that they used to click on your unique referral link.

e. The Referred User must not have opened a User account with Privefans (whether under the same name or another name) before clicking on your unique referral link. If the Referred User is currently or has previously been a User of Privefans, no referral payments will be made to you for the referral.

g. No referral payments will be made to you on any referral of a Referred User which we determine is owned or operated by you, or is in a commercial relationship with you. You will provide any information which we request to enable us to determine whether the Referred User is owned or operated by you or if there is a commercial relationship between you and the Referred User.
h. You agree that when promoting Privefans in any way as a Referring User:
You will not give a false impression of Privefans, the services, programs, and content (including Content) made available through Privefans, its Users, or the Terms of Service; and
You will not make any statements that suggest to a potential User that the potential User will make a particular sum of money (or any money) from their use of Privefans, or any statements regarding the likely number of Fans.
4. Referral Payments:
a. How are referral payments calculated? Once a Referred User has become a registered User of Privefans in accordance with the rules of the Privefans Referral Program described above, the Referring User will be paid a referral payment equal to five per cent (5%) of Fan Payments generated by the Referred Model in the twelve months after the date on which the Referred Model becomes a registered User of Privefans, up to a maximum referral payment by Privefans to the Referring User of US$50,000 per Referred Model. Also, when a Fan registers through the Referring User’s referral link, the Referring User will be paid a referral payment equal to one per cent (1%) of the Referred Fan’s spent amount for twelve months after the date on which the Referred Fan becomes a registered User of Privefans, up to a maximum referral payment by Privefans to the Referring User of US$10,000 per Referred Fan.

It is illegal for us or for a participant in the Privefans Referral Program (including Referring Users and Referred Models) to persuade anyone to make a Payment by promising benefits from getting others to join the Privefans Referral Program.
Do not be misled by claims that high earnings are easily achieved from participation in the Privefans Referral Program.

d. Who bears the cost of the referral payment? The cost of the referral payment is borne by us, not the Referred User.
5. Our rights relating to the referral program:
a. If referral payments have been made incorrectly, we have the right to recover the wrongly paid sums from the User to whom the wrongly paid sums have been paid.
b. We may request you or Referred Users (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 User.
c. We may change any aspect of the Privefans Referral Program (including how referral payments are calculated) or discontinue the Privefans Referral Program at any time, but no change will deprive any Referring User of referral payments already earned before the changes came into effect.
6. 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;
You attempt or threaten to breach any part of the Terms of Service in a way that could have serious consequences for us or another User (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User); or
We suspect that all or any part of the referral payments due to you result from unlawful or fraudulent activity, either by you or by the Referred User.
b. We may also withhold all or any part of the referral payments due to you but not yet paid out if we receive notice that you have secured, encumbered, pledged, assigned, or otherwise allowed a lien to be placed on referral payments. We undertake no duty to pay referral payments to third-party lienholders and may withhold payment of referral payments until the lien has been removed.
c. We shall not have any responsibility to you if we withhold or forfeit any payment due to you under the Privefans Referral Program where we have a right to do so under these Referral Program Terms.
d. 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 or fraudulent activity, then we may arrange for you to be paid the part of the referral payments that is unrelated to breaches by you of the Terms of Service or suspected unlawful or fraudulent 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.
