The Creator acknowledges that TipSnaps may retain indefinitely information the Creator submits to TipSnaps, including a copy of the Creator’s government-issued identification, in case the information is needed to comply with applicable law, including 18 U.S.C. §§ 2257–2257A and 28 C.F.R. Part 75, or in a good-faith belief that preservation or disclosure of that information is reasonably necessary, in TipSnaps’s opinion, to (a) comply with legal process, including civil and criminal subpoenas, court orders, or other compulsory disclosure; (b) enforce this agreement; (c) respond to claims of a violation of the rights of third parties, regardless of whether the third party is a user, individual, or government agency; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of TipSnaps, the Website’s users, or the public.

No-Disparaging. During this agreement and for two years after its termination, the Creator must not take any action that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to harm TipSnaps, its reputation, or the Website’s reputation, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to unwanted or unfavorable publicity to TipSnaps or the Website. But nothing will prevent the Creator from making any truthful statement in connection with any legal proceeding or investigation by TipSnaps or any government body.

Termination

Termination on Notice; Account Deletion. Either party may terminate this agreement at any time for any reason by written notice to the other party. Subject to section 5.8, the Creator may also terminate this agreement at any time by deleting the Creator’s account.
Termination by Company. TipSnaps may suspend, disable, or terminate the Creator’s account for any reason, including (a) the Creator’s breach of this agreement; (b) the Creator Page or the Creator Content infringes any intellectual property right of another person; (c) the Creator’s fraudulent, illegal, or suspicious activity; (d) the Creator engaged in conduct that threatens the personal safety of the Website’s users or the public or would tend to damage TipSnaps’s reputation and goodwill or create liability for TipSnaps; or (e) the Creator violates applicable law.
Effect of Termination. On termination, the Creator’s right to access the Website and all licenses granted by TipSnaps terminate, and TipSnaps will remit to the Creator, no later than 45 days after the date of termination, all outstanding and undisputed Creator Revenues earned under this agreement. In addition, the Creator acknowledges that TipSnaps may set off against any Creator Revenues owed to the Creator any loss incurred under section 16 (Indemnification).
Survival. Any part of this agreement that imposes an obligation after termination will survive the termination, including all warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

Warranty Disclaimers

TipSnaps is not making any guarantee of profitability or about the amount of money the Creator will earn under this agreement. The Creator acknowledges that past earnings do not guarantee or suggest similar future earnings.
The Creator assumes sole responsibility for all risks, consequences, and damages resulting from the Creator’s interaction and association with the Website, including risks associated with publicly appearing on the Internet; the risk of recording, piracy, or unauthorized dissemination of the Creator Content; or the risk of publication of the Creator’s identity, including publication of the Creator’s personal information.
TipSnaps is not making any warranty—express or implied—that
1. the use of the Website will be timely, uninterrupted, or error-free (whether as a result of technical failure, acts or omissions of third parties, or other causes) or will operate in combination with any other hardware, software, system, or data;
2. the Website or the Materials will meet the Creator’s requirements or expectations;
3. the Website or the Materials will be accurate or reliable;

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from TipSnaps, the Website, or elsewhere will create any warranty not expressly stated here.

Limitation of Liability

TipSnaps, its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, and services providers will not be liable to the Creator for any of the following:
1. Errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of the Website or the Materials;
2. Personal injury or property damage resulting from the Creator’s access to or use of the Website or the Materials;
3. Materials (including Creator Content) or conduct that is infringing, inaccurate, obscene, indecent, offensive, threatening, harassing, defamatory, abusive, invasive of privacy, or illegal;
4. Unauthorized access to or use of TipSnaps’s servers and any personal or financial information stored in them, including unauthorized access or changes to the Creator’s account, the Creator Content, transmissions, or data;
5. Interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the Website;
6. Denial-of-service (DoS) attack or distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack;
7. Bugs, viruses, Trojan horses, malware, ransomware, or other disabling code that may be transmitted to or through the Website by any person or that might infect the Creator’s computer or affect the Creator’s access to or use of the Website or the Creator’s other services, hardware, or software;
8. Incompatibility between the Website and the Creator’s other services, hardware, or software;
9. Delays or failures the Creator might experience in starting, conducting, or completing any transmissions to or transactions through or with the Website; or
10. Loss or damage incurred because of the use of any Materials posted, emailed, sent, or otherwise made available through the Website.
TipSnaps, its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, and services providers will not be liable to the Creator for breach-of-contract damages that TipSnaps could not reasonably have foreseen on entry into this agreement. TipSnaps, its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, and services providers also will not be liable to the Creator—regardless of theory of liability and even if TipSnaps knew or should have known of the possibility of these damages—for damages for any of the following: (a) personal injury; (b) pain and suffering; (c) emotional distress; (d) loss of use; (e) loss of services; (f) loss of profits; (g) loss of revenue; (h) loss of goodwill; (i) loss of contracts; (j) loss of data; (k) loss of privacy; (l) loss of business or opportunity; or (m) cost of obtaining substitute services related to the Website.
Except as stated in section 16 (Indemnification), neither party will be liable to the other party for indirect, incidental, special, statutory, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or relating to this agreement, regardless of the theory of liability and even if that party knew or should have known of the possibility of these damages, including loss of revenue or anticipated profits or lost business.
The total cumulative liability of TipSnaps, its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, and services providers to the Creator will not exceed the greater of (a) total amount owed to the Creator under this agreement and (b) $250 even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542—California Residents Only. If the Creator lives in California, the Creator acknowledges that the Creator understands the consequences of entering into the general release and discharge of all known and unknown claims as stated in this agreement and that the Creator is familiar with the provisions of section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides that:
A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party. The Creator waives all rights under section 1542 and any other federal or state statutes or laws of similar effect.

Scope of Disclaimers and Limitations. The disclaimers and limitations stated in sections 12 and 13 apply to the greatest extent allowed by law, but no more. TipSnaps does not intend to deprive the Creator of any mandatory protections provided to the Creator by law. Because some jurisdictions may prohibit the disclaimer of some warranties, the limitation of some damages, or other matters, one or more of the disclaimers or limitations might not apply to the Creator.

Indemnification

In General. The Creator will pay TipSnaps, its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, and services providers (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) for any loss of an Indemnified Party’s that is caused by (a) the Creator’s use of the Website, including the Interactive Services or the Materials; (b) the Creator Page, the Creator Content, or the Creator Offerings; (c) the Creator’s dispute with any Tipper or other person; (d) the Creator’s breach of this agreement; (e) the Creator’s infringement of third-party intellectual property rights or violation of any other third-party rights; (f) the Creator’s violation of applicable law; (g) the Creator’s tortious acts or omissions; or (h) the Creator’s criminal acts or omissions. But the Creator is not required to pay if the loss was caused by the Indemnified Party’s intentional misconduct.
Definitions. “Loss” means an amount that the Indemnified Party is legally responsible for or pays in any form. Amounts include, for example, a judgment, a settlement, a fine, damages, injunctive relief, staff compensation, a decrease in property value, and expenses for defending against a claim for a loss (including fees for legal counsel, expert witnesses, and other advisers). A loss can be tangible or intangible; can arise from bodily injury, property damage, or other causes; can be based on tort, breach of contract, or any other theory of recovery; and includes incidental, direct, and consequential damages. A loss is “caused by”an event if the loss would not have occurred without the event, even if the event is not a proximate cause of the loss.
Indemnified Party’s Duty to Notify. The Indemnified Party will notify the Creator before the 15th business day after the Indemnified Party knows or should reasonably have known of a claim for a loss that the Creator might be obligated to pay. The Indemnified Party’s failure to give the Creator timely notice does not terminate the Creator’s obligation, except to the extent that the failure prejudices the Creator’s ability to defend the claim or mitigate losses.
Legal Defense of a Claim. The Indemnified Party has control over defending a claim for a loss (including settling it) unless the Indemnified Party directs the Creator to control the defense. If the Indemnified Party directs the Creator to control the defense, the Creator will not settle any litigation without the Indemnified Party’s written consent if the settlement (1) imposes a penalty or limitation on the Indemnified Party, (2) admits the Indemnified Party’s fault, or (3) does not fully release the Indemnified Party from liability. The Creator and the Indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith on a claim.
No Exclusivity. The Indemnified Parties’ rights under this section 16 do not affect other rights that they might have.

Dispute Resolution

Litigation Election. Either party may elect to litigate the following type of case or controversy: (a) an action seeking injunctive relief, or (b) a suit to compel compliance with this section 17.
Arbitration. The parties will settle any dispute arising out of or relating to this agreement, or the breach of it, by arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, enforceability, or formation of this agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable. A single arbitrator will preside over the arbitration and issue a final award on all issues submitted to the arbitrator. The arbitrator may grant whatever relief that would be available in a court at law or in equity, except that the arbitrator will not award punitive or exemplary damages, or damages otherwise limited or excluded in this agreement. The arbitrator’s award will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Arbitration will take place in Sussex County, Delaware, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. The parties will bear equally the costs of arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, and each party will bear the costs associated with its case, except the arbitrator will award costs and fees to the Prevailing Party under section 17.5. Unless required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator will disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under this agreement without the parties’ prior written consent.
Injunctive Relief. The Creator acknowledges that breach by the Creator of this agreement could cause irreparable harm for which damages would be an inadequate remedy. If any breach occurs or is threatened, TipSnaps may seek an injunction, a restraining order, or any other equitable remedy, in each case without posting a bond or other security.
Jurisdiction and Venue. If a party brings any proceeding seeking an injunction, a restraining order, or any other equitable remedy to which that party is entitled under this agreement, that party will bring that proceeding only in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or in any state court of competent jurisdiction in Sussex County, Delaware, and each party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of those courts for purposes of any proceeding. Each party waives any claim that any proceeding brought under section 17.4 has been brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of that proceeding is improper.
Recovery of Expenses. In any arbitration or litigation proceedings between the parties arising out of or relating to this agreement, the Prevailing Party will be entitled to recover from the other party, in addition to any other relief awarded, all expenses that the Prevailing Party incurs in those proceedings, including legal fees and expenses. For purposes of this section 17.5, “Prevailing Party” means, for any proceedings, the party in whose favor an award is rendered, except that if in those proceedings the award finds in favor of one party on one or more claims or counterclaims and in favor of the other party on one or more other claims or counterclaims, neither party will be the Prevailing Party. If any proceedings are voluntarily dismissed or are dismissed as part of settlement of that dispute, neither party will be the Prevailing Party in those proceedings.
Jury Trial Waiver. Each party waives its right to a trial by jury in any proceedings arising out of or relating to this agreement. Either party may enforce this waiver up to and including the first day of trial.
Class Action Waiver. The parties will conduct all proceedings to resolve a dispute in any forum on an individual basis only. Neither the Creator nor TipSnaps will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or participate in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. The parties will not combine any proceeding with another without the advanced written consent of all parties to all affected proceedings.
Limited Time to Bring Claims. A party will not bring a claim arising out of or relating to this agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Any claim brought after one year is barred.
