You are responsible for all of your activity in connection with the Service. When you interact with our Site or the Service in any way, we require that you comply with our Acceptable Use and Content Moderation Policy. This covers all interactions any User may have on our Site and all Content submitted. The term “Content” includes, without limitation, any User Submissions, videos, audio clips, written forum comments, information, data, text, photographs, software, scripts, graphics, and interactive features generated, provided, or otherwise made accessible by Company or its partners on or through the Service.

You shall provide Company with accurate, complete, and updated registration information.

Fees and Payments - Terms for Users.

dubclub.live enables users (the “User”) to purchase audiobooks containing Content from Artist through the Site, including digital Content made available via download (and, subject to the purchase of a download, streaming) through the Service and to preview such Content by way of streaming (“Digital Content”).

Each such purchase is a “Transaction”, each Transaction involving Digital Content is a “Digital Transaction”. Transactions under this Agreement are facilitated by Company in the name of dubclub.live and our third-party payment processors.

All sales of Digital Content are final (except where prohibited by law), unless otherwise determined by dbclub.live. If you do not receive the Digital Content or otherwise have an issue with the Digital Content delivered, please contact Company with your request and proof of payment, and we will work to resolve your issue. At dubclub’s sole discretion, you may be credited or refunded for the Digital Content. However, you understand and agree that dubclub.live is a platform generating and providing Digital Content, and the Digital Content is derived from files provided by the relevant Artist, and the relevant Artist is solely responsible for such files.

Your total price for each Transaction will include the price of the product plus any applicable tax. If a Transaction is subject to any type of sales tax, value added tax, goods and services tax, or similar indirect tax (collectively, “Sales Tax”), then you agree that we may charge you for those Sales Taxes and that you will pay all the fees and Sales Taxes you incur as applicable.

Content you purchase in a Transaction cannot be guaranteed to be available to you perpetually. For example, if we receive a notification of claimed infringement from a copyright owner or its agent with respect to specific Content, then we may be required by law to remove that Content from the Service and not make it available for future sale, and we may also have to deny continued access to anyone who previously purchased such Content. This means that you may lose access to purchased Content previously available to you through the Service.

If we are required by law to deny access through the Service to previously purchased Content, including by removing access to Content from a user’s personal collection through any mobile application, then Company will not provide the user who purchased that Content with a refund, except as required by applicable law. Users bear all risk from the denial of access to any Content purchased through the Service.

Because there is a possibility that we may be required to deny you access to previously purchased Content, we encourage you to promptly download any Content you purchase through the Site to your own devices so that you will retain control and possession of such Content even if we are required to remove the Content from the Service or the Artist chooses to remove that content from the Service.

You warrant that if you enter into a Transaction, then you shall be able to make full and immediate payment for the requested products or services.

Fees and Payments - Terms for Artists.

Artists may sell their voice-acting part to users through the Site, including, without limitation, the sale of Content including Digital Content in the form of audiobooks. For Digital Content, users will pay the purchase price and any applicable fees and taxes. Artists will receive the gross proceeds from these sales, minus the applicable Revenue Share, Publishing Share and any applicable Fees (the “Artist Payout”). The “Artist Payout” for audiobook voice-acting parts is based on the amount of dubbed text literals in relation to the overall book text literals. We together with book authors, license holders and publishers will set the prices for the audiobook products and services that are charged through Transactions (the “Prices”) through the Site, and we may change the Prices at our discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Company may redistribute previously purchased copies of your products to users who have, in Company’s sole determination, received a corrupted copy of our product, an incorrect file format version of our product, an incomplete copy of our product, or suffered a loss of our product through hard drive failure, damage, theft or destruction, on a no-fee basis to the user (i.e., the user is not charged a new fee for the redistribution). Such redistribution may be effectuated by allowing a user to redownload a replacement copy themselves. A user that has a user account will also be permitted to redownload any previously purchased Content from an Artist. In the event of any of the foregoing redistributions, no additional payments shall be made to you for such redistributions.

In order to participate in certain types of Transactions, you may be required to open an account with a designated third-party payment processor, such as PayPal or Stripe, and you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of such third-party payment processor for purposes of participating in the specified types of Transactions. In order to monetize products and services including your voice-acting part, you, as applicable (i) designate us as your agent for the sole and exclusive purpose of processing Transactions on your behalf; and (ii) authorize us and/or our designated third-party payment processor to collect payments for Transactions on your behalf.

Company shall be entitled to a share of the revenue received from Transactions (the “Revenue Share”), which shall be calculated on the gross revenue from Transactions, not including any Transactions for which we provide a refund.

In certain jurisdictions, tax regulations may require that we collect and/or report information about you, your payments and/or withhold taxes from payouts to you. Company will report any information to the relevant tax authority and you as required by law. Company may withhold any taxes, duties, charges or levies on payments to you as required by law. Company shall remit any such withheld taxes, duties, charges or levies to the appropriate tax authority. Under this agreement you are required to provide Company with any information necessary for Company to fulfill its tax information reporting and tax withholding obligations as required.

When you receive a payment for a Transaction, you may be liable to Company or the applicable third-party payment processor for the full Transaction amount, plus any Fees if the payment is later invalidated for any reason. This means that, in addition to any other liability, you will be responsible for the amount of the payment sent by the sender, plus the applicable Fees if there is a chargeback, a dispute, or if there is a reversal of the payment. You agree to allow Company to recover any amounts due to Company by debiting your account or by instructing our third-party payment processors to direct such amounts to us. If there are insufficient funds to cover your liability, you agree to reimburse Company through other means.

Company retains the right, but does not have the obligation, to immediately halt the offering or sale of any goods or services, prevent or restrict access to the Site or the Services or take any other action in case of technical problems, objectionable material, inaccurate listings, or actions otherwise prohibited by the procedures and guidelines contained on the Site, or for any other reason in the sole and absolute discretion of Company, and to correct any inaccurate listing or technical problems on the Site. Company may immediately halt the offering or sale of any goods or services upon receipt of notifications of claimed infringement, upon acquiring knowledge of actual infringement, or becoming aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing material is apparent with respect to any goods or services.

We require that any Artist who is defined as a “trader” under UK or EU laws, identifies as such. If you fail to identify as a trader when you should do, you may be subject to penalties under the local laws of the country of the consumer you are selling to. Identifying as a trader will require you to provide us with certain information in order to verify your identity and will also require us to publish certain information about you to all consumers: including your name, address, email address and phone number. In addition, all traders are required to comply with UK and EU consumer laws including but not limited to operating a 14 day return policy for all physical products you sell to UK and EU consumers. If we refuse or suspend you from operating on our website (e.g. because we do not think you have provided us with all the information we need to set you up as a trader), you have a right to complain to us by submitting an email to info@dubclub.live. Your email will then be reviewed by our in-house counsel, and we will aim to reply to you within 8 weeks.
