certain users (“Buyers”) can purchase the
Products sold by other participants
(“Sellers”). As represented throughout
these Terms of Service, all (Products available on the
Service are exclusively provided by the applicable Seller
for each specified Product. As such, each Settler bears full
responsibility for the Products they offer, including but
not limited to the quality, legality, safety, and delivery
of those Products. FanBasis operates solely as the
facilitator of the marketplace, providing a platform where
Sellers and Buyers can connect and transact. Consequently,
FanBasis does not assume any liability or responsibility for
the Products that are sold through the Service. This means
that FanBasis does not endorse, verify, or guarantee the
Products offered by Sellers in any manner.

specific age and legal eligibility requirements to ensure
compliance and responsible participation within the
marketplace. By completing the registration process, you

control by adjusting your privacy settings on your Third

Privacy Policy
to the extent they relate to User Submissions that are also
your personally-identifiable information.
By submitting User Submissions through the Services, you
hereby do and shall grant FanBasis a worldwide,
non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid,
sublicensable and transferable license to use, edit, modify,
truncate, aggregate, reproduce, distribute, prepare
derivative works of, display, perform, and otherwise fully
exploit the User Submissions in connection with this site,
the Services and our (and our successors’ and assigns’)
businesses, including without limitation for promoting and
redistributing part or all of this site or the Services (and
derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through
any media channels (including, without limitation, third
party websites and feeds), and including after your
termination of your account or the Services. You also hereby
do and shall grant each user of this site and/or the
Services a non-exclusive, perpetual license to access your
User Submissions through this site and/or the Services, and
to use, edit, modify, reproduce, distribute, prepare
derivative works of, display and perform such User
Submissions, including after your termination of your
account or the Services. For clarity, the foregoing license
grants to us and our users do not affect your other
ownership or license rights in your User Submissions,
including the right to grant additional licenses to your
User Submissions, unless otherwise agreed in writing. You
represent and warrant that you have all rights to grant such
licenses to us without infringement or violation of any
third party rights, including without limitation, any
privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, trademarks,
contract rights, or any other intellectual property or
proprietary rights.
Certain features of the Services allow you to share
information with others, including through your social
networks or other Third Party Accounts. When Content is
authorized for sharing, we will clearly identify the Content
you are authorized to redistribute and the ways you may
redistribute it, usually by providing a “share” button on or
near the Content. If you share information from the Services
with others through your Third Party Accounts, such as your
social networks, you authorize FanBasis to share that
information with the applicable Third Party Account
provider. Please review the policies of any Third Party
Account providers you share information with or through for
additional information about how they may use your
information. If you redistribute Content, you must be able
to edit or delete any Content you redistribute, and you must
edit or delete it promptly upon our request.
Finally, you understand and agree that FanBasis, in
performing the required technical steps to provide the
Services to our users (including you), may need to make
changes to your User Submissions to conform and adapt those
User Submissions to the technical requirements of connection
networks, devices, services, or media, and the foregoing
licenses include the rights to do so
6. Ownership; Proprietary Rights
The Service is owned and operated by FanBasis. The visual
interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, information,
data, computer code (including source code or object code),
software, services, and all other elements of the Service,
but excluding any Products, provided by FanBasis
(“Materials”) are protected by intellectual
property and other laws. All Materials included in the
Service are the property of FanBasis or its third-party
licensors. Except as expressly authorized by FanBasis, you
may not make use of the Materials. There are no implied
licenses in these Terms and FanBasis reserves all rights to
the Materials not granted expressly in these Terms.
7. Third-Party Terms
-
Third-Party Services and Linked Websites.
FanBasis may provide tools through the Service that
enable you to export information, including User
Content, to third-party services, including through
features that allow you to link your account on the
Service with an account on the third-party service, such
as Twitter or Facebook, or through our implementation of
third-party buttons (such as “like” or “share” buttons).
By using one of these tools, you hereby authorize
FanBasis to transfer that information to the applicable
third-party service. Third-party services are not under
FanBasis’s control, and, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, FanBasis is not responsible for any third-party
service’s use of your exported information. The Service
may also contain links to third-party websites. Linked
websites are not under FanBasis’s control, and FanBasis
is not responsible for their content. Further, FanBasis
will not provide exports of third-party data (i.e.
Stripe Express accounts) because the option to link to
owned data that is readily accessible is already
available. Please be sure to review the terms of use and
privacy policy of any third-party services before you
share any User Content or information with such
third-party services. Once sharing occurs, FanBasis will
have no control over the information that has been
shared.
-

include or incorporate third-party software components
that are generally available free of charge under

restricts, or is intended to prevent or restrict you
from obtaining Third-Party Components under the
applicable third-party licenses or to limit your use of
Third-Party Components under those third-party licenses.

11. FanBasis Experiences and Videos
-
Through our Site, you may obtain experiences (“FanBasis Experiences”) from celebrities, including athletes, actors,
performers, artists, influencers, and others (each, a
“Star User”). You may submit a request
to a Star User for a FanBasis Experience, such as a
Video (“FanBasis Video”) that is
personalized for you or a third-party that you identify
as a recipient (“Recipient”).
-
You acknowledge and agree that the Star User has sole
discretion to determine how to fulfill your request and
the content of the FanBasis Video created, and may not
follow your request exactly. We reserve the right to
reject any request in our sole discretion. The Star User
has up to seven days or longer (at our sole discretion)
to fulfill or decline your request. If such a request is
not fulfilled within the described timeframe, FanBasis
may in its sole discretion issue a refund.
-
In the provision of 1-on-1 video call services (“FanBasis Video Call”) facilitated by FanBasis, it is a mandatory
requirement for both the Star User and the Recipient to
fully comply with the user content guidelines expressly
set forth in Sections 8 and 9 of these Terms. Such
compliance is not merely encouraged but is a binding
obligation under the terms of use of the FanBasis
platform. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may
result in the immediate termination of the video call
service for the offending party and may further lead to
additional actions as deemed appropriate by FanBasis, in
accordance with the enforcement provisions contained
within these Terms.
-
FanBasis Videos are licensed, not sold. You are buying
the right (or license) to use it, not the actual
FanBasis Video itself.
-
Subject to your payment in full, the Star User hereby
grants to you the following limited rights to use the
FanBasis Video (other than a Business FanBasis Video)
solely for your own personal, non-commercial, and
non-promotional purposes, subject to these Terms: a
non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, worldwide,
sublicensable, revocable license to use, reproduce,
distribute, and publicly display that FanBasis Video, in
any and all media (for example, on social media
platforms), whether now known or hereafter invented or
devised.
-
You may not sell, resell, commercialize, or encumber
your rights in any FanBasis Offering, including creating
a non-fungible token (“NFT”) from any FanBasis Offering
except as agreed by FanBasis in advance in writing. You
may sublicense your rights in a FanBasis Video only to
the extent necessary for you to use the FanBasis Video
as permitted under these Terms (for example, sharing it
(if it is not a Business FanBasis Video) with friends on
a social media platform or sending it to a Recipient for
personal, non-commercial, and non-promotional purposes
as set forth above).
-
You may use a FanBasis Video only in accordance with
these Terms, which includes our Acceptable Use Policy /
Community Guidelines. We may terminate all or part of
the foregoing licenses at any time for any reason. We
reserve the right to remove a FanBasis Video from our
Site at any time for any reason without any notice to
you.
-
You may obtain follow backs on various social media
platforms as a FanBasis Experience. When engaging in
such transactions, it's essential to understand the
governing terms. Every follow back provided by a Seller
is valid for a period of 90 days starting from the date
the Seller follows back the Buyer, unless the Seller
specifies otherwise. After the 90-day period has
concluded, the Seller retains the right to unfollow the
Buyer without any further notifications. If, for any
reason, you believe that a Seller has unfollowed you
prematurely, before the completion of the 90-day term,
we request that you get in touch with us at
support@fanbasis.com, and we will strive to rectify the
situation. Furthermore, if you find that your follow
back experience was marked as completed but did not
actually result in a follow back, please reach out to us
for assistance at the same email address. It's crucial
to note that by accepting our terms and conditions
disclosure at checkout, you are unequivocally agreeing
to these terms pertaining to the follow backs.

EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND
UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TORT,
CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL ANY OF THE
FANBASIS PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR
(A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR

WITH THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING
THIS APPLICABLE CLAIM OR (D) ANY MATTER BEYOND OUR
REASONABLE CONTROL. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION
OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR CERTAIN
OTHER DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION AND EXCLUSIONS MAY
NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Indemnity. You agree to indemnify and hold
the FanBasis Parties harmless from and against any and all
claims, liabilities, damages (actual and consequential),
losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from
or in any way related to any claims relating to (a) your use
of the Services (including any actions taken by a third
party using your account)and any Products, and (b) your
violation of these Terms. In the event of such a claim,
suit, or action (“Claim”), we will attempt to provide notice
of the Claim to the contact information we have for your
account (provided that failure to deliver such notice shall
not eliminate or reduce your indemnification obligations
hereunder).
Assignment. You may not assign, delegate or
transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations
hereunder, or your Services account, in any way (by
operation of law or otherwise) without FanBasis' prior
written consent. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these
Terms and our rights and obligations without consent.
Choice of Law. These Terms are governed by
and will be construed under the Federal Arbitration Act,
applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of
Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions
thereof
Arbitration Agreement. Please read the
following ARBITRATION AGREEMENT carefully because it
requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with
FanBasis and limits the manner in which you can seek relief
from FanBasis. Both you and FanBasis acknowledge and agree
that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or
relating to the subject matter of these Terms, FanBasis'
officers, directors, employees and independent contractors
(“Personnel”) are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms,
and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Personnel will
have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the
right) to enforce these Terms against you as the third-party
beneficiary hereof
-
Arbitration Rules; Applicability of Arbitration
Agreement.
The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any
dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising out of
or relating to the subject matter of these Terms
directly through good-faith negotiations, which shall be
a precondition to either party initiating arbitration.
If such negotiations do not resolve the dispute, it
shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in
Delaware. The arbitration will proceed in the English
language, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined
Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) then in
effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial
experience in resolving intellectual property and
commercial contract disputes. The arbitrator shall be
selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators
in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award
rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court
of competent jurisdiction.
-
Costs of Arbitration. The Rules will
govern payment of all arbitration fees. FanBasis will
pay all arbitration fees for claims less than
seventy-five thousand ($75,000) dollars. FanBasis will
not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration
unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is
frivolous
-
Small Claims Court; Infringement.
Either you or FanBasis may assert claims, if they
qualify, in small claims court in Delaware or any United
States county where you live or work. Furthermore,
notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate
disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue
injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from
any court of competent jurisdiction, to prevent the
actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or
violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade
secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
-
Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND FANBASIS
WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO
COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY. You
and FanBasis are instead choosing to have claims and
disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures
are typically more limited, more efficient, and less
costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to
very limited review by a court. In any litigation
between you and FanBasis over whether to vacate or
enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND FANBASIS WAIVE ALL
RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the
dispute be resolved by a judge.
-
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions.
ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON
AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF
MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR
LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY
OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If however, this waiver of class
or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or
unenforceable, neither you nor FanBasis is entitled to
arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be
resolved in a court as set forth in (g) below.
-
Opt-out. You have the right to opt out
of the provisions of this Section by sending written
notice of your decision to opt out to the following
address: 3425 Stallion Lane, Weston, FL, 33331
postmarked within thirty (30) days of first accepting
these Terms. You must include (i) your name and
residence 16 address, (ii) the email address and/or
telephone number associated with your account, and (iii)
a clear statement that you want to opt out of these
Terms’ arbitration agreement.
-
Exclusive Venue. If you send the
opt-out notice in (f), and/or in any circumstances where
the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you
or FanBasis to litigate any dispute arising out of or
relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court,
then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply
to either party, and both you and FanBasis agree that
any judicial proceeding (other than small claims
actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts
located in, respectively, Delaware, or the federal
district in which that county falls.
-
Severability. If the prohibition
against class actions and other claims brought on behalf
of third parties contained above is found to be
unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in
this Arbitration Agreement section will be null and
void. This arbitration agreement will survive the
termination of your relationship with FanBasis.
Miscellaneous. You will be responsible for
paying, withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes,
duties, and other governmental assessments associated with
your activity in connection with the Services, provided that
the FanBasis may, in its sole discretion, do any of the
foregoing on your behalf or for itself as it sees fit. The
failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any
right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further
rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms are found
to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be
limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so
that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and
effect and enforceable. You and FanBasis agree that these
Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual
understanding between you and FanBasis, and that these Terms
supersede and cancel all previous written and oral
agreements, communications and other understandings relating
to the subject matter of these Terms. You hereby acknowledge
and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or
joint venture of FanBasis, and you do not have any authority
of any kind to bind FanBasis in any respect whatsoever.
Except as expressly set forth in the sections above
regarding the Apple Application and the arbitration
agreement, you and FanBasis agree there are no third-party
beneficiaries intended under these Terms.

Overview. The FanBasis Affiliate
Program (“Affiliate Program”) allows
affiliate participants (“Affiliates”)
to earn FanBasis Credits by either (a) referring
prospective customers to purchase products or services
hosted on the FanBasis platform (“Buyer Program Affiliates”), or (b) referring prospective merchants to join
FanBasis as a Seller (“Seller Program Affiliates”). Participation in the Affiliate Program is only open
to individuals aged 18 years or older who are legal
residents of and residing in the United States.
Prospective Affiliates must complete an application and
be approved by FanBasis to become an Affiliate. Once
FanBasis reviews and approves a prospective Affiliate’s
application, the Affiliate will receive a unique
tracking link to place on their website or promote
through other channels (“Affiliate Link”).
-
Affiliate Marketing Activities.
Affiliate agrees to use reasonable, good-faith efforts
to provide affiliate services to FanBasis through
referring and promoting FanBasis and applicable FanBasis
Sellers’ and their products and services on the FanBasis
Platform in the United States in accordance with the
Terms, including these Affiliate Program terms.
Affiliate represents, warrants, and covenants that
Affiliate will perform such services in a professional
and workmanlike manner and that such services will
comply with the requirements set forth hereunder,
including in any documentation, guidelines, policies,
and specifications referenced herein, which are all
incorporated herein by reference.

Affiliate Compensation. Affiliate
compensation depends on the type of affiliate
marketing Affiliate conducts:
-
Seller Program Affiliates –
Affiliates can earn rewards for referring new
merchants to the FanBasis Platform. For users
who join FanBasis as a Seller for the first time
via the Affiliate’s Affiliate Link (“Referred
Sellers”), as reasonably determined by FanBasis,
FanBasis will pay the Affiliate an amount equal
to a percentage of FanBasis’s net revenue from
the Referred Seller, for the first six (6)
months after the date when the Referred Seller
joined FanBasis. Affiliate commissions cease
after the end of the six-month period.
-
Buyer Program Affiliates -
Affiliates can earn rewards for referring users
who make purchases from Sellers on the FanBasis
platform. Either FanBasis, or Sellers, can
determine and disclose the fee or percentage a
Buyer Program Affiliate will receive when a
purchase of the Seller’s products or services is
made via an Affiliate’s Affiliate Link
(“Affiliate Offer”). For each purchase of
Seller’s products or services made via the
Affiliate’s Affiliate Link, as reasonably
determined by FanBasis, FanBasis shall pay
Affiliate for such qualifying sale according to
the Affiliate Offer. Affiliate Offers are
subject to change from time to time and may be
terminated at any time. Such changes and
terminations are effective immediately. The
Affiliate Offer at the time of qualifying sale
applies. Please check Affiliate Offers
periodically for any changes or termination.
Affiliate is solely responsible for promoting
the use of its Affiliate Link, and FanBasis
shall not be responsible for any users’ failure
to utilize an Affiliate Link in the registration
or purchasing process, and such failure of use
will result in lack of attribution of sale to
Affiliate. Each party will be responsible, as
required under applicable law, for identifying
and paying all taxes and other governmental fees
and charges (and any penalties, interest, and
other additions thereto) that are imposed on
that party upon or with respect to the
transactions and payments received by it under
these Affiliate Program terms. Each party will

terms and in no event will FanBasis be obligated
to reimburse Affiliate for any costs incurred by
providing services hereunder.

parties.
