V. The Term.

The time period that this Agreement is in effect begins on the Effective Date and continues as long as you continue to use the StageIt Service. We can terminate this Agreement at any time by sending you a notice of our intention to terminate.

VI. Data and Metrics.

StageIt is the sole owner of all data it observes or collects during or after the Term as part of providing the StageIt Services.

VII. Broadcaster Payments.

Users may pay a fee or use StageIt “Notes” to view your StageIt Performances. Subject to certain per-user minimums and subject to for-charity StageIt Performances and limited time trials (in each case based upon the functionality of the StageIt Service and incorporated herein), you may set the amount that a user pays to stream your StageIt Performance. Additionally, you may dictate the manner in which Users pay (e.g. tipping, ticketing) based upon the available functionality of the StageIt Services.

We will maintain a proceeds account into which we will deposit proceeds derived from your StageIt Performances and against which we will debit the StageIt Fee payable by you to us (described in the foregoing sentence) and all expenses including, but not limited to broadcast costs, bandwidth costs, royalty payments, software fees, licensing fees, merchant and transaction fees, merchant reserves, returns, chargebacks, overhead and any applicable sales taxes. In consideration of StageIt providing its services in connection with the StageIt Services, StageIt shall have the free right to deduct from the total amount of the proceeds derived from your StageIt Performances a fee (the “StageIt Fee”).  The amount of the StageIt Fee is dependent on the Total Gross Revenue from your StageIt Performance. Artist agrees to the StageIt Fee outlined in this page: https://www.stageit.com/static/static_pages/how_to_get_paid

During the Term, within ten (10) business days of your request, we will remit to you the money in your proceeds account, less applicable fees and expenses (as described herein); provided, however, that we will withhold payment until the total amount due to you is at least twenty-five dollars (US$25.00). Notwithstanding the foregoing we reserve the right to withhold payment if we in good faith determine that additional documentation is necessary to make the payment (e.g. W-9 or identification). You agree that you will be responsible for all taxes incurred as a result of the Broadcaster Payments.

VIII. Miscellaneous.

The expiration of the Term of this Agreement will not relieve either party from their respective obligations incurred prior to or during the Term. Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement will continue to apply even after the expiration of the Term.

If we receive a claim that our distribution of your Broadcaster Submissions or any other materials provided or authorized by you violates any third party rights or if a claim arises from your breach or alleged breach of the representations, warranties, and covenants made by you herein, you agree to fully indemnify and hold us harmless, and upon our request, defend us and our licensees and affiliates (and their respective directors, officers, contractors and employees) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) concerning any such claim. Accordingly, you agree to reimburse us and our licensees and our affiliates on demand for any payments made in resolution of any liability or claim that is subject to indemnification under this paragraph. We will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify you of any such claim, and by obtaining, posting and maintaining an adequate bond for our benefit you may assume control of the defense of such claim, provided that we will have the right in all events to participate in the defense thereof. Additionally, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from and against anything including all losses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses) arising out of any claims by any partner that relates to your withdrawal of your Broadcaster Submissions (such as claims alleging unfair business practices, or price discrimination).

The Agreement and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by StageIt without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of this Agreement shall be void.
