You expressly consent to the use and sharing of your personal information as described in these Terms of Service and the Shopify Privacy Policy. In certain circumstances, we may seek consent from you, as Creator, prior to disclosing certain of your personal information to a Merchant in whose Program you are or may participate. The form of consent that we seek, including whether it is express or implied, will largely depend on the sensitivity of the personal information, the reasonable expectations of the individual in the circumstances, and the functionality of the App and the Services.

6. You grant us permission to allow the applicable Third Party Provider to access your Information and to take any other actions as required for the provision of the Services, and any exchange of Information or other interaction between you and the Third Party Provider is solely between you and such Third Party Provider. Shopify is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of your Information, or for any corresponding losses or damages you may suffer, as a result of access by a Third Party Provider to your Information. For clarification, Shopify shall not be responsible for any Third Party Provider or such Third Party Provider’s services, and you agree that any claim relating to a Third Party Provider or such Third Party Provider’s services may only be made against such Third Party Provider.
7. You must not collect or harvest any personal data of any other user of Shopify Collabs without the prior express consent of such other user in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. It is your responsibility to protect any other user’s personal information you access through the App or the Services and to process it safely and securely in accordance with applicable laws and any other terms governing other Shopify services you may use.
8. Merchants and Creators may have their own privacy policies or statements governing their practices in collecting, storing, using and disclosing your personal information. You should familiarize yourself with such other privacy policies or statements before providing or agreeing to provide your personal information to a Merchant or Creator, as applicable.

4. Social Platforms Authentication and Data

Such data may be collected and stored as needed to enable the Services. You can learn more about each Social Platform’s terms of service and privacy policy on such Social Platform’s website.
2. You can revoke the App’s access to your data from the Social Platforms at any time by visiting each respective Social Platform’s app and security settings. Note that revoking such authorizations may limit or eliminate certain functionality of the App or the Services.

5. Accuracy, Completeness and Timeliness of Information

1. We make no representations or warranties with respect to the App or the Services, and we are not responsible if any information available via the Services is not accurate, complete, up-to-date or otherwise does not meet your personal requirements. Any use of or reliance on any of the content, materials or other information made available through the Services is at your own risk. We reserve the right to modify the contents of the Services at any time, but we have no obligation to update any information.
2. Occasionally there may be information available through the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions.
3. We undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify information in the App or the Services or in any related application, website, product or service, except as required by law.

6. Relationship between Merchant and Creator

1. The App and the Services facilitate discovery, connection and management of affiliate marketing relationships between Merchants and Creators. The terms and conditions of any Merchant’s affiliate marketing program (each referred to herein as a “Program”) will be determined by such Merchant or, if a Merchant approves a Creator to participate in the Merchant’s Program, Merchant and Creator may separately enter into an agreement on such terms and conditions as may be agreed to between such Merchant and Creator (any such terms and conditions relating to a Program are collectively referred to herein as the “Program Agreement”). The Program Agreement may include, for example, provisions relating to the services to be provided by the Creator, the rates of commission offered and payable by the Merchant, and any other terms and conditions, whether such are communicated and agreed to by Merchant and Creator through Shopify Collabs or otherwise. You acknowledge and agree that Shopify is under no circumstance a party to the Program Agreement and will not incur any liability or assume any obligation in connection therewith, and Shopify will in no way be responsible for the performance of either Merchant or Creator in connection with any Program or Program Agreement, except as expressly set out in these Terms of Service. Merchant and Creator are solely responsible for the execution of and performance under any Program Agreement.
2. If you are a Merchant, you understand that you are engaging each Creator you approve to participate in your Program, not Shopify. The services provided by a Creator in connection with any Program or Program Agreement are the responsibility of the Creator and not of Shopify.
3. If you are a Creator, you understand that you are applying to and, if approved by Merchant, participating in a Program offered by the Merchant, not Shopify. Any commissions earned by you in connection with any Program or Program Agreement are the responsibility of the relevant Merchant and not of Shopify.
4. The relationship between any Merchant and Creator is strictly between such Merchant and Creator, and Shopify is not obligated to intervene in any dispute arising between you and such other party. Under no circumstances will Shopify be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, extraordinary, exemplary or other damages whatsoever, that result from any relationship, dealing or contract between a Merchant and a Creator.
5. Shopify does not make any representations or warranties of any kind in respect of any Merchant, Creator, Program or Program Agreement. You are responsible for, as applicable, managing, inspecting, accepting and providing any services, deliverables or payments under any Program Agreement into which you may enter in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof. You agree to act in good faith when negotiating and performing your obligations under a Program Agreement.
6. It is your responsibility to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to marketing and advertising, including any applicable anti-spam legislation in your and your recipients’ jurisdictions.

7. Your Content

1. You are fully and solely responsible for any posts, Information or other content you create, submit, transmit, link to, publish, upload, display or otherwise make available on, through or in connection with the App or the Services, including anything you provide to other users of the App, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted (collectively, your “User Content”). You are responsible for your User Content, including its legality, reliability and appropriateness, and you assume all risks and liability associated with your submission of your User Content. You further represent and warrant that: (i) your User Content complies with all applicable laws; (ii) you have all necessary rights and licenses required to upload, use, display and distribute the User Content; (iii) your User Content does not infringe upon, violate or misappropriate any third party intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights, or moral rights; (iv) your User Content does not violate our AUP (defined below); (v) your User Content will not be false, misleading or deceptive; (vi) your User Content will not be unsolicited, undisclosed or constitute unauthorized advertising or endorsements of any product; and (vii) you will comply with the terms of use relating to any applicable Third Party Service (defined below). Shopify has no obligation to accept, display, review or maintain any User Content. Moreover, Shopify reserves the right to remove and permanently delete any User Content from the App without notice and for any reason at any time. You are solely responsible for creating and maintaining your own backup copies of your User Content if you desire. Shopify may choose at its sole discretion to monitor the User Content on the App for inappropriate or illegal behavior, including through automatic means.
2. If you are a Creator, you are solely responsible for the social media posts, advertisements, endorsements, marketing or other content you may create, publish or upload to Social Platforms (collectively, the “Creator Content”), including the legality, appropriateness and accuracy of any such Creator Content. It is your responsibility to ensure the Creator Content is not misleading or deceptive, to make any necessary disclosures in connection with your Creator Content, including clear and conspicuous disclosures of any material connection you have with a Merchant and if you have been compensated or otherwise incentivized by the Merchant, and to otherwise comply with any applicable laws, regulations, guidelines and requirements of any relevant regulatory body, including the United States Federal Trade Commission. Shopify will in no way and by no means be responsible for or assume any liability in connection with any Creator Content.
3. The way in which your audience, followers, visitors, customers and other third parties (the “End Users”) use and interact with your content, including User Content or Creator Content is your responsibility. This responsibility includes compliance with all laws and regulations in relation to End Users.
4. We may, at any time and without notice, suspend or terminate your account or your access to the Services if you engage in activities that violate the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service, the Community Guidelines (defined below), or the AUP, including activities outside of your use of the Services.

8. Third Party Services

1. The App may reference or provide links to the sites of certain other companies or businesses, including, but not limited to, certain Social Platforms (“Third Party Services”), but such does not constitute or imply an endorsement, authorization, sponsorship or affiliation by or with Shopify. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating, and we do not warrant the offerings of, any of these Third Party Services or the content of their websites. Shopify does not assume any responsibility or liability for the actions, products, content or any other transactions associated with any Third Party Services. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are familiar with and approve of the terms, policies and practices relating to such Third Party Services. Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding Third Party Services should be directed to such third parties.
2. You should be aware that operators of linked websites may also collect your personal information (including information generated through the use of cookies) when you link to their sites. Shopify is not responsible for how Third Party Services collect, use or disclose your personal information, so it is important to familiarize yourself with their privacy policies before providing them with your personal information.

9. Account Information

1. In order to use the Services, and to enable connection and communication between you, on the one hand, and Merchants or Creators, as applicable, on the other, you will be required to successfully sign up for an account, which, for Merchants, will be Merchant’s Shopify account and, for Creators, will be Creator’s Shopify Collabs account. Your account will in each case require an email and password login credentials, and any other information indicated as required. Shopify may reject your application for an account, or cancel an existing account, for any reason, at our sole discretion.
2. You must be the older of (i) 18 years of age, or (ii) at least the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside and from which you use the Services to open an account.
3. You acknowledge that we will use the email address you provide in your account, as may be updated by you from time to time, as the primary method of communication with you.

If you submit any ideas, suggestions, comments, proposals, plans, or other content or submissions to us, whether online, by email or otherwise (collectively, the “Comments”), you agree that we may, at any time, without restriction, edit, copy, publish, distribute, display, translate and otherwise use in any medium any Comments that you provide to us. You expressly waive any and all rights in the Comments and you agree that Shopify is free to implement and use the Comments if desired, as provided by you or as modified by Shopify, without obtaining permission or license from you or any third party. We are under no obligation (1) to use or rely on any Comments; (2) to maintain any Comments in confidence (unless such comments contain personal information); (3) to pay compensation for any Comments; or (4) to respond to any Comments. You acknowledge and agree that Shopify may exercise its rights to use, publish and delete any Comments without any notice to you.

We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Comments or other content posted or submitted by you or any third party.

11. Prohibited Uses

1. In addition to other prohibitions as set forth in Shopify’s Acceptable Use Policy (available at https://www.shopify.com/legal/aup) (the “AUP”), the Shopify Collabs Community Guidelines (available at https://help.shopify.com/manual/promoting-marketing/collabs/creators/community-guidelines) (the “Community Guidelines”), or these Terms of Service, you are prohibited from using the App or the Services, or submitting, transmitting, publishing, uploading, displaying, providing or posting any User Content or Comments through or in connection with the App or the Services: (a) for any unlawful purpose or any illegal, deceptive or fraudulent activity; (b) to violate any international, federal or local laws, regulations, rules or ordinances; (c) to infringe upon, violate or misappropriate any of our rights or the rights of any third party, including, without limitation, any intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights; (d) to harass, abuse, insult, threaten, harm, disparage, intimidate, or discriminate based on gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethinicity, race, age, national origin or disability; (e) to submit false, misleading or deceptive information; (f) to upload or transmit viruses or any other type of malicious or destructive code; (g) to collect or track the personal information of others; (h) to spam, phish, pharm, pretext, spider, crawl or scrape; (i) for any hateful, libelous, defamatory, obscene or immoral purpose; (j) to interfere with or circumvent the security features of the Services or any related website or application, other website or application, or the Internet; (k) in any activities that are, in Shopify’s sole discretion, likely to generate liability for Shopify or negatively affect Shopify’s reputation; or (l) to solicit or encourage any other person to perform or participate in any of the foregoing.
2. You agree to comply with the AUP and Community Guidelines. We may, but have no obligation to, remove any content and suspend or terminate your use of the Services, or take such other actions we deem necessary, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that your use of the Services violates the AUP, the Community Guidelines, or these Terms of Service.
3. We reserve the right to terminate your use of the Services or any related website or application for any violation by you of the prohibited uses.

12. Payments

1. Merchant will be solely responsible for paying Creators any commissions or other amounts associated with, related to or arising from or in connection with your use of the App or the Services, or any Program or Program Agreement, or otherwise accruing from the relationship or dealings between Merchant and Creator (collectively, the “Commissions”). Shopify will not be responsible to pay any Commissions and will not incur any liability for any non-payment by Merchant for services rendered by Creator.
2. All commission payments through the App or the Services must be made using means of payment that we may approve and enable from time to time. We currently require payments to be made through PayPal, a Third Party Provider.
3. You acknowledge and agree that any agreement made between Merchant and Creator, including through the App or the Services, is directly between Merchant and Creator.
4. You are solely responsible for determining, collecting, withholding, reporting, and remitting any applicable taxes and tax forms related thereto, and any duties, fees, surcharges or additional charges, as applicable, arising from or as a result of any payment or sale received or made by you as a result of the relationship or dealings between Merchant and Creator pursuant to any Program or Program Agreement. Shopify is not responsible for any of your tax obligations or liabilities associated with, or stemming from or in connection with, your use of the App or the Services.
5. Any attempt to defraud through the use of fraudulent requests or methods of payment, or any failure to honor charges or requests for payment, will result in termination of your account and may result in civil and/or criminal prosecution.
6. In the case of, or if we suspect, any fraudulent payment or activity, including use of stolen credentials, by anyone, we reserve the right to block your account and to inform any relevant authorities or entities.

13. Automated Payouts

1. The Services include a feature that enables automated payouts of aggregate commissions earned by Creators in connection with the App via Merchants’ monthly invoice payments (“Automated Payouts”). For all Merchants commissions payable to such Creator will be paid by such Merchant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.
2. Commissions will be subject to a thirty (30) day hold period, to allow for any cancellation or refund of the underlying purchase that would have the effect of disqualifying a commission, and aggregate earned commissions tracked by the App will appear on a Merchant’s monthly invoice. Shopify will distribute such commissions to Creators twice per calendar month (each such period, a “Payment Period”), depending on when Merchant payment is initiated. The first Payment Period occurs during the first half of the month, and the second Payment Period occurs during the second half of the month. Where the aggregate commissions owing to a Creator are equal to or greater than USD $25 at the end of any Payment Period, such commissions will be paid to Creator. If the commissions owing to Creator are less than USD $25 at the end of any Payment Period, Shopify will be entitled to withhold payment until the next Payment Period in which the balance of unpaid commissions owing to Creator from any previous Payment Period and commissions owing to Creator under the current Payment Period are USD $25 or more.
3. Shopify will collect and file sales, value added, goods and services, harmonized and other taxes related to the sale of Creator’s services on, through or in connection with the App or the Services in each of Hawaii, Maryland, New Mexico, West Virginia, and such other jurisdictions as may be required in accordance with applicable law. Creators are responsible for all applicable taxes that arise from or as a result Creator’s relationship with a Merchant and payment of Commissions by Merchant to Creator. Creator is responsible for determining if taxes are payable in respect of a Creator transaction with a Merchant and, if applicable taxes are not collected by Shopify, self-remitting taxes to the appropriate tax authorities.
4. If payment processing is unsuccessful, there may be subsequent attempts to process commission payment. If payment processing remains unsuccessful and Merchant does not pay an invoice within ninety (90) days following the date of the invoice, Merchant’s account will be frozen until any outstanding commissions are paid.
5. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Shopify, any commissions payment will be subject to a 2.9% processing fee, payable by the Merchant. The processing fee is exclusive of any applicable taxes.

14. Independent Contractors

The parties to these Terms of Service are independent contractors. Except as expressly stated in these Terms of Service, neither Shopify nor any of its Affiliates is an agent, representative or related entity of any Merchant or Creator. Neither Shopify nor you will have any right, power or authority to enter into any agreement for, or on behalf of, or incur any obligation or liability of, or otherwise bind, the other party, except where you expressly authorize Shopify to act on your behalf in these Terms of Service. These Terms of Service will not be interpreted or construed as creating any association, agency, joint venture or partnership between Shopify, on the one hand, and you, on the other, or to impose any liability attributable to such relationship upon either you or us.

We grant to you only the rights and licenses expressly stated in these Terms of Service, and you receive no other rights or licenses with respect to Shopify, Shopify Collabs, the Services, or any other property or right of ours. Your use of the App or the Services does not give you ownership of or right to any aspect of the App or the Services, or to any other person’s Information in the App.
3. You retain all right, title and interest in any Information that you provide, submit, load, transmit or enter through the App or Services or that we collect from third parties with your permission, and you are legally responsible for the Information you submit to the App and Services.

16. Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability

1. You expressly agree that your use of, or inability to use, the App and/or the Services is at your sole risk, and Shopify and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and licensors disclaim all warranties, express or implied, in connection with your use of the App and the Services. The App and Services are provided to you (except as expressly stated by us) “as is” and “as available” for your use, without any representations, warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App or the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that the results that may be obtained from the use of the App or the Services will be accurate or reliable, or that the quality of any services, information, or other material obtained by you through the Services, including but not limited to the App, will meet your expectations, or that any errors in the App or the Services will be corrected. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, so this limitation may not apply to you.
2. In no event shall Shopify, its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, or licensors be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including, without limitation lost opportunity, lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, loss of goodwill or any similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, arising from your use of any part or parts of the App, the Services, or any services or products procured using the App or the Services, or for any other claim related in any way to your use of the App, the Services, or any services or products procured using the App or the Services, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any content or otherwise arising from your use of the App or the Services, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the App or the Services or any content (or product) posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the App or the Services, even if advised of the possibility of same. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

17. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Shopify, its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting, whether directly or indirectly, from: (i) your use of the App, the Services and/or any information contained in the App or the Services; (ii) your violation of, or your breach of any representation, warranty, obligation or covenant under, these Terms of Service or the documents incorporated by reference herein (including the AUP and Community Guidelines); (iii) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party; (iv) any aspect of the relationship between Merchant and Creator, including but not limited to payment of Commissions.

18. Severability

In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Service, and such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

19. Term and Termination

1. These Terms of Service are effective as of the day you first use the Services and will continue in force unless and until terminated by either you or us.
2. You may terminate these Terms of Service at any time by notifying us that you no longer wish to use the App or the Services or by ceasing to use the App or the Services.
3. If, in our sole judgment, you fail, or we suspect that you have failed, to comply with any term or provision of these Terms of Service, we also may terminate these Terms of Service at any time without notice and accordingly may deny you access to the App or the Services or any part thereof.
4. The obligations and liabilities incurred prior to the termination date shall survive the termination of these Terms of Service for all purposes.

20. Waiver; Entire Agreement; Assignment

1. The failure by us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
2. These Terms of Service, including any terms, agreements, policies or operating rules incorporated into these Terms of Service or posted by us in respect to the Services, constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us, and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service).
3. All the terms and provisions of the Terms of Service will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to the Terms of Service and to their respective heirs, successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives. Shopify will be permitted to assign these Terms of Service without notice to you or consent from you.
