  1. WAIFU LOVERS Videos

  

From time to time, a user of our Site (“User”) may request one or more video recordings (each, a “WAIFU LOVERS Video”) from you through our Site.  

  

While we hope you will fulfill a request within 48 hours of receiving it, you may have up to seven days or longer (at WAIFU LOVERS’s sole discretion) to complete and upload the WAIFU LOVERS Video. If you do not either: (i) accept the request and upload the WAIFU LOVERS Video; or (ii) decline the request; the request will expire and can no longer be fulfilled (except that you may fulfill the expired request at no cost to the User and with no payment due from us). You may decline a request or otherwise refuse, in your discretion, to create or upload a WAIFU LOVERS Video if a User’s request is objectionable or otherwise offensive to you. If you accept a request, you agree to record and upload to our Site one WAIFU LOVERS Video.  

  

WAIFU LOVERS retains the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel any request from a User. No payment will be made to you for any declined, cancelled, or unfulfilled WAIFU LOVERS Video request.  

  

Each WAIFU LOVERS Video will be approximately :30 in duration and will follow the general directions and requests of the User (for example, birthday message, congratulatory message, or “Good luck!” message). You will have sole discretion over the script and content of any WAIFU LOVERS Video, except that you agree: (i) you will use your name (please introduce yourself), the User’s name, and the name of any third party that the User identifies as a recipient (“Recipient”) in each WAIFU LOVERS Video, unless otherwise requested by the User; and (ii) you will not state in the WAIFU LOVERS Video that the WAIFU LOVERS Video is incomplete or cannot be completed. Your response to the User’s request is your responsibility and at your discretion, subject to these Terms; however, Users are usually happiest when at least the majority of their request is followed by a Talent User. If you complete a WAIFU LOVERS Video but do not follow the general directions and requests of the User, we will discuss with you an appropriate adjustment of the payment made to you.

Booking Fee: You set your own price for each WAIFU LOVERS Video and any other offering you choose to make available through the WAIFU LOVERS marketplace platform (e.g., Business WAIFU LOVERS Videos) (each, a “Booking Fee”), provided that: (i) your price on the App for iOS must be an available Apple SKU; and (ii) where there is no identical Apple SKU, your price will be the Apple SKU that is closest to the price you set. In addition, the Booking Fee for each WAIFU LOVERS Video must be at least US$5.00 (unless it is either US$0.00 or as otherwise agreed in writing by WAIFU LOVERS). The Booking Fee excludes any service, transaction, or processing fees paid to WAIFU LOVERS. You may not manipulate or alter your Booking Fee to create the false appearance that your offerings are discounted or on sale, or in any other manner that would be deceptive or misleading to consumers, as determined by WAIFU LOVERS in its sole discretion.  

  

Fees: Other than with respect to an expired request that you choose to fulfill (as set forth in Section 2(a)) and subject to these Terms, absent a separate agreement with you we will pay you 70% of the Booking Fee actually received by WAIFU LOVERS for each WAIFU LOVERS Video or other WAIFU LOVERS product offering that you created and delivered to fulfill to a User’s request that you accepted through our Site, except that in the case of a Booking Fee paid through the App, we will pay you 70% of the amount actually received by WAIFU LOVERS after subtracting any payment to or deduction by the application platform (e.g., Apple deducts a 30% commission from the Booking Fee) from the Booking Fee (“Net App Booking Fee”). In addition, if the offering permits a User to designate an additional amount that is explicitly referred to as a "tip", we will pay you 100% of any amount paid by a User via our Site as such a "tip" (after subtracting any WAIFU LOVERS service fees and any payment to or deduction by the application platform). Any Sales Tax WAIFU LOVERS collects will be remitted to the applicable tax authority and will not be included in the Booking Fee or tip.  

  

Fees and Payment Representations and Warranties: You represent and warrant that: (i) except as set forth in Section 4.g., WAIFU LOVERS Videos are not, and are not intended to be, covered by any union or guild collective bargaining agreement, management, agency, or similar agreement, and there will be no residual or any other type of payment or contribution due from WAIFU LOVERS to you, to any third-party related to you or on your behalf, to any union, guild, pension plan, health plan, management, agent, or other similar person or entity pursuant to any collective bargaining agreement, in connection with any WAIFU LOVERS Video, payment from us to you, or our Site; (ii) WAIFU LOVERS is not responsible for, and will not make any deduction to payments made to you for any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, or payments of any kind to or with respect to any third party, including any manager, agent, attorney, representative, or service provider, in connection with any revenue earned by or payments made to you in connection with our Site; and (iii) WAIFU LOVERS is not responsible for any contributions, payments, taxes, or deductions for Social Security, retirement benefits, unemployment insurance, annuities, or pension or welfare fund payments required by law or any labor union, or any withholding or taxes (other than Sales Tax WAIFU LOVERS collects in relation to a purchase).  

  

Payment: You agree to register with the third-party payment provider selected by WAIFU LOVERS, which WAIFU LOVERS may change in its sole discretion. You may not use a payment provider other than the one selected by WAIFU LOVERS. You will provide the payment provider any information required in order to receive payments via the payment provider, e.g., information about the bank account that you own at a regulated financial institution. Any payments due to you from WAIFU LOVERS will be made via the payment provider. If available, you may transfer funds from your WAIFU LOVERS account to your bank account by submitting a payment request. Your request will be processed by the payment provider. If not available, WAIFU LOVERS will submit the payment request, for processing by the payment provider. In addition, WAIFU LOVERS may, in its sole discretion: (i) transfer funds from your WAIFU LOVERS account to your bank account, including in the case of account inactivity; and (ii) restrict or prohibit withdrawals in excess of any threshold chosen by WAIFU LOVERS. If you do not provide the payment provider with all required information, you may not be able to receive the payments due to you. WAIFU LOVERS will not be responsible for any damages, delays, losses, costs, expenses, or liabilities arising out of or in connection with your inability to receive payments as a result of your failure to provide such information. You acknowledge and agree that WAIFU LOVERS does not operate, own, or control the payment provider; and your use of any payment provider is subject to the terms and privacy policies of that payment provider. You agree that we are not responsible for any delay, failure, damage, or liability caused by a payment provider, any other third party, a force majeure, or your failure to timely or properly set up an account with the payment provider or otherwise provide requested information for payment. Other than with respect to any payment to or deduction by the application platform (as set forth in Section 4.b). WAIFU LOVERS will be responsible for fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with the payment provider selected by WAIFU LOVERS. Unless otherwise agreed by WAIFU LOVERS in writing, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for any other fees, costs, and expenses, including with respect to your bank account and foreign exchange fees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms, if WAIFU LOVERS, in its sole discretion, believes that any fraud, money laundering, or other violation of law or regulation is taking place on or in connection with our Site, you acknowledge and agree that we may withhold, delay, or seek repayment of any payments we believe, in our sole discretion, are related to the violation.  

  

Currency: Payments via the payment provider are in U.S. dollars unless the payment provider permits you to choose another currency and you do so.  

  

Fundraising: If you identify any entity on your booking page or elsewhere on our Site as a charitable organization or a recipient of any funds that you are raising (each, a “Charity”), you: (i) represent and warrant that you will comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to that identification or the Charity, including making disclosures, registering, or entering into any agreement, such as a commercial co-venturer agreement; (ii) acknowledge and agree that we have the right in our sole discretion to reject your identification or the Charity; (iii) represent and warrant that the Charity is and will remain in good standing at all times the identification is used, that within 48 hours of your receipt of our request, you will provide us with written evidence of the Charity’s good standing and charitable status in all applicable jurisdictions, and that you will promptly remove the identification if the Charity ceases to be in good standing; (iv) represent and warrant that you will be responsible for making any payment to the Charity (unless we expressly agree in writing in advance to do so on your behalf and in satisfaction of our payment obligations to you under these Terms); and (v) represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to authorize use of the Charity’s name and logo in connection with (and on) our Site, in the identification, and in any social and other media. You further acknowledge and agree that we may add a statement to your booking page disclaiming a connection between WAIFU LOVERS and the Charity, as we determine in our sole discretion.  

  

Influencer Agreements: Notwithstanding Section 4.c. or any other provision of these Terms to the contrary, for any Business WAIFU LOVERS Video you choose to fulfill, you may, in your discretion and subject to any obligations between you and the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (“SAG-AFTRA”), choose to produce such Business WAIFU LOVERS Video pursuant to the terms of the Talent-Produced WAIFU LOVERS for Business Sponsored Content Agreement or another Influencer-Produced Sponsored Content Agreement made available by SAG-AFTRA (each, an “Influencer Agreement”).

  1. Talent Referral Program

  

We offer Talent Users and others who register on our Site as a talent referral source (“WAIFU LOVERS Partner”) the opportunity to provide their friends, families, or other personal contacts the unique referral code we provide you (“Code”) that a prospective talent user may use to apply to register as a talent user on our Site (“Referral Program”). To participate in the Referral Program, you must agree to the following Talent Referral Program Terms (“Referral Terms”), as well as the rest of these Terms:  

  

WAIFU LOVERS reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Referral Program or your participation in the Referral Program at any time for any reason. Without limiting the foregoing, we reserve the right to disqualify anyone from participating in the Referral Program at any time at our sole discretion. A violation of the Referral Terms may also result in the forfeiture of all Referral Fees (defined below) you earned through the Referral Program. We reserve the right to review and investigate activities undertaken in connection with the Referral Program and suspend your Site account, modify the Referral Fee, or take other action in our sole discretion.  

  

Eligibility to participate in this Referral Program is limited to individuals who have registered an account on our Site as a Talent User or WAIFU LOVERS Partner. The Referral Program cannot be used for affiliate lead generation or other commercial purposes. Employees, officers, directors, contractors, agents, and representatives of WAIFU LOVERS may not participate in the Referral Program.  

  

For every new user whose application to register as a Talent User on our Site using your Code is accepted in writing by WAIFU LOVERS (“Referred Talent”), WAIFU LOVERS will pay you, for one year, beginning as of the date that the Referred Talent first created an account as a Talent User on our Site using your Code, 5% of the Booking Fee actually received by WAIFU LOVERS, except that in the case of a Booking Fee paid through the App, it is 5% of the Net App Booking Fee, for each WAIFU LOVERS Video the Referred Talent creates and delivers to fulfill a User’s request accepted through our Site during that one-year period (excluding any WAIFU LOVERS Video for which no revenue was earned, and, at WAIFU LOVERS’s discretion, any WAIFU LOVERS Video to which a promotion applies or for which a promo code was used) (“Referral Fee”). The Referral Fee is based on the Booking Fee or Net App Booking Fee but is paid from WAIFU LOVERS’s share of the revenue (as described in Section 4.b) and will be paid as described in Section 4.d. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms, you acknowledge and agree that if a new user does not use your Code when applying to register, has previously registered on our Site (with another code, under another name, or otherwise), has previously begun the on-boarding process for our Site, or if anyone else has received or is receiving a Referral Fee from us in connection with that user, no Referral Fee will be due to you. You further acknowledge and agree that each Referred Talent may have only one referring person or entity, and that we are not obligated to pay a Referral Fee to more than one referring person or entity with respect to any Referred Talent.  

  

This Referral Program may be used only for personal purposes and you may share your Code only with your personal connections. You may not advertise your Code or share it with anyone other than your friends, family, or other personal contacts (for example, you may not share it on a social media channel). We reserve the right to revoke or refuse to issue any Referral Fees for Referred Talent that we suspect were generated through improper channels or otherwise in violation of these Referral Terms.  

  

You represent and warrant that any messages you use to share your Code with your personal connections will: (i) be created and distributed in a personal manner; (ii) not be distributed in a bulk manner; and (iii) not be an unsolicited commercial email or a “spam” message under any applicable law or regulation. Any messages that do not meet these requirements are expressly prohibited and constitute grounds for immediate termination of your Site account and participation in this Referral Program. Registrations on our Site by a Talent User using a Code that was distributed through an unauthorized channel will not be valid and any Referral Fees issued in connection with such transactions may be revoked.  

  

We reserve the right to deactivate your Site account and any Referred Talent’s Site account, cancel all related Referral Fees, and seek repayment, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that either you or the Referred Talent: (i) has tampered with this Referral Program; (ii) has used (or attempted to use) this Referral Program in a fraudulent, abusive, unethical, unsportsmanlike, or otherwise questionable or suspicious manner; (iii) has breached any of these Referral Terms; or (iv) has violated any law or regulation or infringed or violated the rights of any third party. We also reserve the right to cancel this Referral Program or change these Referral Terms at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion.  

  

As of the effective date of these Terms and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Talent User may become an Affiliated Talent to an Organization, subject to WAIFU LOVERS’s prior approval, by: (i) confirming in writing, in the form provided by WAIFU LOVERS, that the Organization is its representative; and (ii) the Organization registering the Talent User as its Affiliated Talent. The Organization will be deemed a WAIFU LOVERS Partner and the Affiliated Talent will be deemed a Referred Talent under these Referral Terms. The Organization (as a WAIFU LOVERS Partner) will be entitled to the Referral Fee set forth in Section 5.c as of the date the Talent User becomes an Affiliated Talent.  

  

By participating in the Referral Program, you agree to release and hold harmless WAIFU LOVERS Parties from and against any and all economic liabilities, claims, damages, loss, harm, costs, or expenses, including property damage, that arise from or relate in any way to the Referral Program. THIS SECTION 5.h APPLIES ONLY TO ECONOMIC DAMAGES AND DOES NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS OF FRAUD OR PERSONAL INJURY.

  1. Arbitration Agreement and Waiver of Certain Rights

  

Arbitration: You and WAIFU LOVERS agree to resolve any disputes between you and WAIFU LOVERS through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. You and WAIFU LOVERS each hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any controversy, claim, counterclaim, or other dispute arising between you and WAIFU LOVERS relating to these Terms or our Site (each a “Claim,” and collectively, “Claims”). Any Claim will be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”). The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will be in writing, will include the arbitrator’s reasons for the decision, will be final and binding upon the parties, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other governmental agencies.  

  

Costs and Fees: If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, WAIFU LOVERS will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator’s fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.  

  

No Preclusions: This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or WAIFU LOVERS from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and WAIFU LOVERS each also have the right to bring any qualifying Claim in small claims court. In addition, you and WAIFU LOVERS each retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request will not be deemed to be either incompatible with these Terms or a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms.  

  

No Class Representative or Private Attorney General: Each of you and WAIFU LOVERS agree that with respect to any Claim, neither may: (i) act as a class representative or private attorney general; or (ii) participate as a member of a class of claimants. You agree that no Claim may be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only individual Claims (whether brought by you or WAIFU LOVERS). The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.  

  

Severability/No Waiver/Survival: If any provision of this Section 19 is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be deemed appropriately modified to give effect to the intent of the provision or, if modification is not possible, will be severed and the remainder of this Section 19 will continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section 19 will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver will not waive or affect any other provision of these Terms. This Section 19 will survive the termination of your relationship with WAIFU LOVERS.  

  

LIMITATIONS: This Section 19 limits certain rights, including the right to maintain certain court actions, the right to a jury trial, the right to participate in any form of class or representative claim, the right to engage in discovery except as provided in AAA rules, and the right to certain remedies and forms of relief. In addition, other rights that you or WAIFU LOVERS would have in court may not be available in arbitration.

  1. Other Provisions

  

Force Majeure: Under no circumstances will any WAIFU LOVERS Party be liable for any delay or failure in performance due in whole or in part to any acts of God (such as earthquakes, storms, floods, etc.), epidemics, natural disasters, unavoidable accidents, cybersecurity incidents, internet or communication service interruptions, laws, rules, regulations or orders of government authorities, acts of war (declared or not), terrorism, hostilities, blockades, civil disturbances, embargoes, strikes, or any other event or cause beyond the reasonable control of any WAIFU LOVERS Party.  

  

Choice of Law and Jurisdiction: These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any conflict of laws rules or provisions. You agree that any action of whatever nature arising from or relating to these Terms or our Site will be filed only in the state or federal courts located in Chicago, Illinois. You consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of any such action.  

  

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be deemed appropriately modified to give effect to the intent of the provision or, if modification is not possible, will be severed from these Terms and will not affect the enforceability of any other provision.  

  

No Waiver or Amendment: The failure by WAIFU LOVERS to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not prevent WAIFU LOVERS from enforcing such right or provision in the future and will not be deemed to modify these Terms.  

  

Assignment: WAIFU LOVERS may, at any time, assign its rights and obligations under these Terms, including to an affiliated entity or in connection with a sale of assets, merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, other transaction, or by operation of law.  

  

Miscellaneous: The term “including” in these Terms will be interpreted broadly and will mean “including, without limitation.” Titles are for convenience only and will not be considered when interpreting these Terms.

Talent Store and Merchandise  

  

Last updated: April 22, 2022  

  

Talent Store  

  

  

You may choose to collaborate with WAIFU LOVERS to design, create, produce, or offer for sale custom apparel, physical goods and other non-digital merchandise dedicated to you and customized with your Talent Content, excluding all other WAIFU LOVERS products, services, software, or digital assets (“Talent Merchandise”).  

  

  

Approval and Exclusivity. If you approve an order form or rate sheet in writing, including by email, or otherwise through the WAIFU LOVERS platform (the “Order Form”), you appoint WAIFU LOVERS as the exclusive printer of the Talent Merchandise identified in the Order Form, customized with the Talent Content you specify (each, a “Talent Product”) and exclusive seller and distributor of the Talent Products you choose to offer, as seller, through the Site, including through your booking page (the “Talent Store”).  

  

  

Unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form or mutually agreed in writing, you agree that WAIFU LOVERS will make the Talent Store available for an initial term of one year (the “Term”) and automatic annual renewals. An Order Form shall automatically renew and be extended year to year for successive one-year Terms, until the Order Form is terminated under Section 9 below.  

  

  

WAIFU LOVERS Responsibilities  

  

  

Talent Products. WAIFU LOVERS will arrange for the manufacture, printing, sale, and distribution of the Talent Products, customized with the Talent Content you specify as identified in the Order Form. For the avoidance of doubt, Talent Content includes any modifications WAIFU LOVERS makes to Talent Content that have been mutually agreed in writing.  

  

  

Design Services. Unless the Order Form specifies in writing that the Talent Content you provide is the entire design, WAIFU LOVERS will provide design services that include developing content or other materials (“Design Materials”) to be included on Talent Product.  

  

  

Your Responsibilities  

  

  

Talent User Design. If the Order Form indicates or you otherwise agree in writing to provide the entire design for Talent Products, you will be solely responsible for the design, subject to these Additional Terms (including Section 3.c), and the entire design will be Talent Content.  

  

  

Promotion. During the Term for so long as the Talent Store remains available, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to promote the Talent Store and Talent Products subject to the Order Form and Talent Terms, including the Acceptable Use Policy / Community Guidelines.  

  

  

License; Legal Clearances.  

  

  

In addition to the rights you grant to Talent Content under Section 6.a. of the Talent Terms, you grant to WAIFU LOVERS:  

  

  

(A) A non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, unlimited, universal, sublicensable (through multiple tiers of sublicenses), perpetual, and irrevocable license in any and all manner and media, whether now known or hereinafter invented or devised (including social media channels and third-party websites and platforms), to use, reproduce, license, distribute, modify, adapt, publicly perform, publicly display, your name, image, appearance, likeness, and other personal attributes and characteristics, as well as the name of your organization (“Talent IP”) in connection with creating, printing, advertising, marketing, promoting, and distributing Talent Products and the Talent Store; and  

  

  

(B) A right to use (in whole or in part), cut, edit, crop, copy, display, rearrange, and create derivative works of your Talent Content and Talent IP for any purpose related to these Additional Terms.  

  

  

After conclusion of the Term, WAIFU LOVERS may continue to use your Talent Products, Talent Content, and Talent IP (to the extent incorporated in Talent Products or Talent Content) to sell off any existing inventory of Talent Products, for non-public purposes and for marketing and advertising, including featuring Talent Products and Promotional Material on the Site, WAIFU LOVERS’s social media accounts, and in emails and other marketing materials.  

  

  

To the extent your Talent Content or Talent IP includes any names, likeness, logos, copyrights, trademark, intellectual property, or other material of a third party (collectively, “Third-Party Materials”), you will be solely responsible for securing all necessary rights, authorizations, and permissions so that the Third-Party Materials can be used as contemplated by the Order Form and these Additional Terms (collectively, “Legal Clearances”).  

  

  

(A) You may not provide any Talent Content or Talent IP containing Third-Party Materials unless you have secured Legal Clearances.  

  

  

(B) At WAIFU LOVERS’s request, you will promptly provide written copies of Legal Clearances to WAIFU LOVERS. WAIFU LOVERS may, in its reasonable discretion (1) require you to modify or provide alternative Talent Content or Talent IP; or (2) provide additional Legal Clearances.  

  

  

You remain solely responsible for Legal Clearances regardless of whether WAIFU LOVERS has accepted or rejected them. WAIFU LOVERS will not be responsible for any delays in connection with the Legal Clearance process or any Legal Clearance.  

  

  

Tools. WAIFU LOVERS may make available certain tools for your use, including online customization tools. You will comply with any applicable terms for each tool.  

  

  

Exclusivity. During the Term, you will not (and will not authorize any third party to) enter into any agreement concerning (or otherwise participate in any campaign involving) merchandise that is the same or similar to any Talent Product (including as to the merchandise or its design elements) for the benefit of or in connection with any third party custom apparel/merchandise/t-shirt platform that is competitive to WAIFU LOVERS or your Talent Store. You acknowledge and agree that the above exclusivity and restrictions are necessary for successful operation of the Talent Store.
