Filmhub reserves the right in its sole discretion to include or decline to include any given Channel in its Channel roster.

(g). Channel Requirements. Owners and operators of Channels (including Filmhub for its own Channels) may require that Your Content comply with that Channel’s specifications in order to be distributed on such Channel(s). In the event that Your Content does not meet the applicable Channel’s specifications (including with respect to dubbing, subtitles, formats, ratings, Metadata, and required promotional materials and artwork), Filmhub will provide you with notice of such deficiency. In the event that you do not respond indicating that you no longer wish to have Your Content provided to the relevant Channel(s) that require modifications to Your Content within five (5) business days after receipt of such notice from Filmhub, Filmhub reserves the right to correct such deficiencies, and to set off or recoup all amounts expended by Filmhub to correct such deficiencies against your Net Earnings.

(i). Filmhub’s Rights. Except for Your Content, the Site, the Services and all materials and content included in the Services (“Filmhub Content”), and all intellectual property rights in or to the Site, the Services, and the Filmhub Content, are the exclusive property of Filmhub and its licensors (including other Users who submit content in connection with the Services).

Use of Filmhub Content for any purpose not expressly permitted by this Agreement is strictly prohibited.

(j). Channel Agreements and Requirements of Channels. You acknowledge that, in providing certain of the Services, Filmhub will be required to enter into Channel Agreements with various Channels. The selection of these Channels and the terms of these Channel Agreements is within the sole discretion of Filmhub. You agree that this Agreement is subject to any applicable terms of the Channel Agreements. You expressly acknowledge that even though this Agreement is non-exclusive, certain Channels may require that Your Content be made available to them at the same times and in the same formats as those Titles are made available to any other distribution channels. To the extent that a Channel’s requirements are not met, such Channel may have the right to discontinue the availability of Your Content on such Channel. Filmhub will, upon your written request by messaging to our Help Center, provide you with additional details regarding such requirements.

3. Professional Services. Certain aspects of the Services (including any Channels owned by Filmhub or one of its affiliates) may be provided for fees and other charges, which may be on an a la carte, subscription, or other basis. Filmhub may add new Services or features of the Services for additional fees and charges or add or change fees and charges for existing Services, at any time in its sole discretion. Please refer to our Help Center for a listing of some of our Professional Services.

4. Revenue Sharing and Accounting.

(a). Earnings. If Your Content is exploited by one or more Channels, Filmhub will credit your account a sum equal to the amount of Net Earnings received by Filmhub from the exploitation of Your Content. “Net Earnings” are your Gross Earnings less (1) any and all processing and other Channel-related fees, and (2) our revenue share. Our revenue share is Twenty Percent (20%) of Gross Earnings. “Gross Earnings” means all non-refundable gross monies actually received by Filmhub from a Channel with respect to Your Content, less any and all sales, use, value added, remittance, and other applicable taxes. If a Channel is owned by Filmhub or one of its affiliates, that Channel will pay Filmhub for access to Your Content at industry standard rates, and Gross Earnings, Net Earnings, and our revenue share will be calculated based on that payment. To ensure proper transfer of amounts due, you are solely responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact information associated with your User Account. Filmhub may withhold amounts due to you unless and until you provide such information. Filmhub reserves the right to set off or recoup amounts of third-party fees, expenses, and other charges related to returned or cancelled transfers of amounts due to your account (due to an information error or omission) against your Net Earnings. Net Earnings will be calculated solely based on records maintained by Filmhub, and no other measurements or statistics of any kind will have any effect under this Agreement. You acknowledge that unless otherwise provided in a Preexisting Agreement or Supplemental Agreement, you will have no audit rights with respect to Gross Earnings or Net Earnings. As required by applicable law, Filmhub may withhold any taxes or other amounts from your Net Earnings.

(b). Disputes. Any objection relating to any accounting statement (and any proceeding relating to an accounting statement) must be made (and any proceeding commenced) no later than one (1) year after the date the applicable statement is rendered, and you hereby waive any longer statute of limitations to the extent permitted by law.

(c). Timing. Filmhub will transfer amounts due to you as soon Filmhub receives, processes, and posts your Net Earnings to your account and you request a transfer via the functionality provided in your User Account. You are responsible for any bank fees, PayPal fees, or other charges related to such transfer.

(d). Withholding; Set-off. To the extent that you owe any amounts to Filmhub in connection with this Agreement, any Preexisting Agreement, Supplemental Agreement, or otherwise, Filmhub reserves the right to withhold or set off any such amount (whether subject to dispute or otherwise) against your Net Earnings.

(e). Pooling of Net Earnings. Your Net Earnings will be pooled in an account with the Net Earnings of other Filmhub customers until you transfer such funds. You agree that you will not receive interest or other earnings on the Net Earnings that Filmhub places in such pooled account. In consideration for your use of the Services, you irrevocably transfer and assign to Filmhub any and all ownership rights that you may have in any interest that may accrue on Net Earnings held in such pooled account.

(f). Suspension and Forfeiture of Revenue. In the event that Filmhub becomes aware of a claim of infringement of copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right, or right of publicity or privacy, or failure to comply with any third-party license requirement or any other claim which, if true, would constitute fraud or a breach of any of your representations, warranties or obligations hereunder, you agree that without limiting its other rights and remedies under this Agreement, Filmhub may freeze any and all Net Earnings in your account. Without limiting Filmhub’s other rights and remedies under this Agreement, such Net Earnings will be forfeited by you if Filmhub determines, in its good faith discretion, that they are the result of fraud or infringement (and will be subject to offset in connection with third party claims as provided elsewhere in this Agreement). You acknowledge that Channels may also have policies related to fraud and suspected fraudulent activities, that any such policies will be binding on you as applicable. You agree that it is your sole responsibility to investigate and comply with all applicable Channel policies for Your Content.

11. ARBITRATION. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM FILMHUB.

(a). This Arbitration section is sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the “agreement to arbitrate.” This agreement to arbitrate applies to and governs any dispute, controversy, or claim between you and Filmhub that arises out of or relates to, directly or indirectly: (a) this Agreement, and the formation, existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, validity, or enforceability thereof; (b) the Site, the Services and access to or use of the Site or Services, as well as receipt of any advertising, marketing, or other communications from Filmhub; (c) any transactions through, by, or using the Site or Services; or (d) any other aspect of your relationship or transactions with Filmhub (each, a “Claim,” and, collectively, “Claims”). This agreement to arbitrate will apply, without limitation, to all Claims that arose or were asserted before or after your acceptance of this Agreement.

(b). If you are a new User, you can reject and opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate within thirty (30) days of accepting this Agreement by emailing Filmhub at legalnotices@filmhub.com with your full name and stating your intent to opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate. Note that opting out of this agreement to arbitrate does not affect any other part of this Agreement, including the provisions regarding governing law or in which courts any disputes must be brought.

(c). For any Claim, you agree to first contact Filmhub at legalnotices@filmhub.com and to attempt to resolve the Claim with Filmhub informally. In the unlikely event that Filmhub has not been able to resolve a Claim it has with you within sixty (60) days, the parties hereto each agree to resolve such Claim exclusively through binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”), under the Expedited Procedures then in effect for AAA (the “Rules”), except as otherwise provided herein, or as otherwise determined by the Arbitrator. In the event of any conflict between the Rules and this agreement to arbitrate, this agreement to arbitrate will control. AAA may be contacted at www.adr.org, where the Rules are also available. The arbitration will be conducted in San Francisco County, California, unless you and Filmhub agree otherwise. If you are using the Site or Services for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing and administrative and Arbitrator fees in accordance with the Rules, and the award rendered by the Arbitrator will include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Site or Services for non-commercial purposes: (i) AAA may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from AAA; (ii) the award rendered by the Arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorneys’ fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction, on an individual basis only, without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and Filmhub agree that the Arbitrator, and not any U.S. or non-U.S. federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the scope, interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this agreement to arbitrate, including any claim that all or any part of this agreement to arbitrate is void or voidable, or relating to any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, unconscionability, or estoppel. The Arbitrator will also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to contract formation and whether this Agreement, or any provision of this Agreement, is unconscionable or illusory.

(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this agreement to arbitrate will be deemed as preventing Filmhub from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of its data security, intellectual property rights, confidentiality rights, or other proprietary rights; or as preventing you from asserting claims in a small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances on only an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.

(e). If this agreement to arbitrate is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, will be severed. Severance of the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, will have no impact on the remaining provisions of this Section 11, which will remain in force, or on the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining Claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 11.

(f). Notwithstanding anything else contained herein or in any Preexisting Agreement or Supplemental Agreement, you agree that your rights and remedies in the event of any breach of this agreement or any Preexisting Agreement or Supplemental Agreement by Filmhub will be limited to the right, if any, to recover money damages, and in no event will you be entitled by reason of any such breach to seek injunctive or other equitable relief or to enjoin or restrain the distribution, exhibition, advertising, or any other means of exploitation of Your Content.6. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein or in any Preexisting Agreement or Supplemental Agreement, you agree that your rights and remedies in the event of any breach of this agreement or any Preexisting Agreement or Supplemental Agreement by Filmhub will be limited to the right, if any, to recover money damages, and in no event will you be entitled by reason of any such breach to seek injunctive or other equitable relief or to enjoin or restrain the distribution, exhibition, advertising, or any other means of exploitation of Your Content.

12. CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER. WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SITE OR SERVICES FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS MUTUAL WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AND FILMHUB MUTUALLY AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY TO AN INDIVIDUAL CLAIMANT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED MAY NOT AFFECT OTHER USERS. YOU AND FILMHUB FURTHER AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND FILMHUB ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO BRING, JOIN, OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER.

13. GOVERNING LAW. You agree that this Agreement will be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate in Section 11 and preempts all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA is found to not apply to any issue that arises from or relates to the agreement to arbitrate, then that issue will be resolved under and governed by the law of your state of residence. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts located in San Francisco, California for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our data security, intellectual property rights, confidentiality rights, or other proprietary rights, as set forth in the agreement to arbitrate, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that the state and Federal courts located in San Francisco, California are the proper and exclusive forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the agreement to arbitrate in Section 11 is found to be unenforceable.

14. MISCELLANEOUS.

(c). Further Assurances. You agree to execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, and record such further certificates, amendments, instruments, and documents, and to do all such other acts and things, as may be required by applicable law or as may be necessary or advisable to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will, upon Filmhub’s request, supply to Filmhub all chain-of-title documents regarding literary, dramatic, and musical material, each Name and Likeness, and any other material contained in Your Content (provided that Filmhub’s review of any such documents in no way limits your representations, warranties, and obligations under this Agreement).

(d). Entire Agreement; Severability; Usage. This Agreement, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with Filmhub in connection with the Services (including any Channel Agreement, Preexisting Agreement or Supplemental Agreement), constitutes the entire agreement between you and Filmhub concerning the Site and the Services. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. All terms defined in this Agreement in their singular or plural forms have correlative meanings when used in their plural or singular forms, respectively. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” do not limit the preceding words or terms and will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

(e). No Waiver. No waiver of any term of this Agreement will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Filmhub’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

(f). Relationship. You acknowledge and agree that Filmhub, in providing the Site and Services, is not acting in a fiduciary capacity. You, the Channels and Filmhub are independent contractors. No agency, fiduciary, partnership, joint venture, employer/employee, or franchiser/franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement between Filmhub (or any Channel) and you.

(g). Channels as Third Party Beneficiaries. If you make Your Content available via the Services, you agree that the Channels are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and that with respect to Your Content, each of the Channels is entitled to rely on your representations and warranties, and to enforce your indemnities, contained in this Agreement.

(h). Bankruptcy. In the event of your bankruptcy, you and Filmhub acknowledge and agree that the licensed rights to Your Content hereunder are fundamentally in the nature of “intellectual property” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy,” as now or hereafter in effect, or any successor statute (“Bankruptcy Code”); that Filmhub’s continued enjoyment of all licensed rights is fundamental to the basic license hereunder; and therefore all licensed rights should be deemed intellectual property subject to Filmhub’s election under Section 365(n)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code. You and Filmhub agree that the definition of “intellectual property” in Title 11 of the United States Code also includes trademarks and service marks, as trademarks and service marks are inextricably linked to the other intellectual property to which rights are granted to Filmhub under this Agreement. You and Filmhub agree that upon any election by Filmhub pursuant to Section 365(n)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, Filmhub will be entitled to, on its own or through employees, contractors, agents or otherwise, upgrade, modify and develop derivative works based upon the rights licensed hereunder. In the event of Filmhub’s Bankruptcy, you agree that, notwithstanding Section 365(c)(1) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, Filmhub may assume this Agreement and may assign this Agreement.
