        2. pay the Creator Earnings to your bank account or the bank account of a corporate entity in which you are a Person with Majority Control (see section 8 above).

All Subscriber Payments and Creator Earnings are transacted in USD only. Your bank may charge you currency conversion or transfer fees to receive the money. Additionally, your e-wallet company may charge you a fee for accessing the money. We do not have control over currency exchange rates or charges imposed by your bank or your e-wallet company, and we are not responsible for paying any charges imposed by your bank or your e-wallet company.
      7. If a Subscriber successfully seeks a refund or chargeback from their credit card provider in respect of a Subscriber Payment, we may investigate and may decide to deduct from your account an amount equal to the Creator Earnings earned by you on the charged-back or refunded amount.
      8. Except for Payout Options involving payment by direct bank transfer from us, we do not store any data disclosed by you when you register your Payout Options with a third-party payment provider.
    2. Circumstances in which we may withhold Creator Earnings:
      1. We may withhold all or any part of the Creator Earnings due to you but not yet paid out:
        1. if we think that you have or may have seriously or repeatedly breached any part of the Terms of Service;
        2. if you attempt or threaten to breach any part of the Terms of Service in a way which we think has or could have serious consequences for us or another User (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User); or
    • if we suspect that all or any part of the Creator Earnings result from unlawful activity, either by you or by the Subscriber who made the Subscriber Payment resulting in the Creator Earnings,
    1. if no appropriate content has been uploaded in the last 30 days

    for as long as is necessary to investigate the actual, threatened or suspected breach by you or the suspected unlawful activity (as applicable). If following our investigation, we conclude that (i) you have seriously or repeatedly breached any part of the Terms of Service; (ii) you have attempted or threatened to breach any part of the Terms of Service in a way which has or could have serious consequences for us or another User (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User), and/or (iii) the Creator Earnings result from unlawful activity, we may notify you that you have forfeited your Creator Earnings.

    1. We shall not have any responsibility to you if we withhold or forfeit any of your Creator Earnings where we have a right to do so under these Terms of Use for Creators.
    2. If we are withholding all or any part of the Creator Earnings due to you and we determine that part of the Creator Earnings withheld by us is unrelated to breaches by you of the Terms of Service or suspected unlawful activity, then we may pay to you the part of the Creator Earnings which we determine to be unrelated to breaches by you of the Terms of Service or suspected unlawful activity. However, you agree that if we consider that your breach(es) of the Terms of Service has or may cause us loss, we may withhold all Creator Earnings due to you but not yet paid and we may set off such amounts against any losses suffered by us.
    3. If once we have finished our investigation we determine that Creator Earnings are forfeited, we will use our best efforts to return any Subscriber Payments which resulted in forfeited Creator Earnings to the relevant Subscribers who paid such Subscriber Payments.
    1. Promoting Tax compliance:
      1. General:
        1. We recommend that all Creators seek professional advice to ensure you are compliant with your local Tax , based on your individual circumstances.
        2.

    • By using Unlok as a Creator you warrant (which means you make a legally enforceable promise) that you will at all times comply with all laws and regulations relating to Tax which apply to you. If, at any point whilst you have an Unlok account, any Tax non-compliance occurs in relation to you (including a failure by you to report earnings or the imposition on you of any penalty or interest relating to Tax) or if any litigation, enquiry, or investigation is commenced against you that is in connection with, or which may lead to, any occurrence of Tax non-compliance, you agree that you will:
    1. notify us by email to [email protected] in writing within 7 days of the occurrence of the Tax non-compliance or the commencement of the litigation, enquiry or investigation (as applicable); and
    2. promptly provide us by email to [email protected]with:

    3. For the avoidance of doubt, you are responsible for your own Tax affairs and Unlok is not responsible or liable for any non-payment of Tax by Creators.
    4. We reserve the right to close your Unlok account if we are notified of or become aware of any Tax non-compliance by you.

Upon our request, you must disclose the methods by which you share your unique referral link in the Bio/Website field of your Unlok account.
      4. The Referred Creator must click on your unique referral link and then register with Unlok using the same browser that they used to click on your unique referral link. If someone registers with Unlok other than by using your unique referral link, we will not link that account to your referral and we will not make any referral payment to you.
      5. The Referred Creator must not have opened a User account with Unlok (whether under the same name or another name) before clicking on your unique referral link. If the Referred Creator is currently or has previously been a User of Unlok we will not make any referral payment to you for the referral.
      6. If the Referred Creator sets up more than one User account we will make referral payments to you on the earnings made by the Referred Creator from their first User account only. We will not pay any referral payments to you on any further User accounts set up by the Referred Creator.
      7. We will not pay any referral payments to you on any referral of a Referred Creator which we determine is owned or operated by you, or is in a commercial relationship with you. You will provide any information which we request to enable us to determine whether the Referred Creator is owned or operated by you or if there is a commercial relationship between you and the Referred Creator.
      8. You agree that when promoting Unlok in any way as a Referring User:
    • you will not give a false impression of Unlok, the services, programs, and content (including Content) made available through Unlok, its Users or the Terms of Service; and
    • you will not make any statements which suggest to a potential Creator that the potential Creator will make a particular sum of money (or any money) from their use of Unlok, or any statements regarding the likely number of Subscribers.
  • Referral payments:
    • How are referral payments calculated? Once a Referred Creator has become a registered User of Unlok in accordance with the rules of the Unlok Referral Program described above, we will pay the Referring User a referral payment equal to five per cent. (5%) of Subscriber Payments generated by the Referred Creator in the twelve months after the date on which the Referred Creator becomes a registered User of Unlok, up to a maximum referral payment by Unlok to the Referring User of US$50,000 per Referred Creator.

    This means that if a Referred Creator generates Subscriber Payments with a total value of US$1 million or more in the twelve months after the date on which that Referred Creator becomes a registered User of Unlok, then the Referring User's referral payments in relation to that Referred Creator will be capped at US$50,000 in total. However, if the Referred Creator generates Subscriber Payments with a total value of less than US$1 million in the twelve months after the date on which that Referred Creator becomes a registered User of Unlok, then the Referring User will be paid five per cent. (5%) of the Subscriber Payments generated by that Referred Creator in the twelve months after the date on which the Referred Creator becomes a registered User of Unlok, following which no further referral payments will be made to the Referring User in respect of that Referred Creator.

    For all referrals made prior to 1 May 2020, we will make referral payments to the relevant Referring Users until 1 May 2021 or until US$50,000 has been paid out by us to the Referring User on the referral, whichever occurs first.

    1. Warning: In compliance with regulation 3 of the Trading Scheme Regulations 1997 (as amended) and section 120(1) of the Fair Trading Act 1973, please read the warning below in respect of the Unlok Referral Program:
    • It is illegal for us or for a participant in the Unlok Referral Program (including Referring Users and Referred Creators) to persuade anyone to make a payment by promising benefits from getting others to join the Unlok Referral Program.
    • Do not be misled by claims that high earnings are easily achieved from participation in the Unlok Referral Program.
  • Choosing a payout method to receive referral payments: In order to be able to receive referral payments you must first choose one of the payout methods provided by Unlok in your country of residence. These methods are called "Payout Options".
  • How frequently are referral payments made? We will transfer to your Unlok account the referral payment due to you on Subscriber Payments made to the Referred Creator in a calendar month on or around the first day of the next calendar month (which means, for example, that referral payments due to you in respect of Subscriber Payments made to the Referred Creator in February shall be paid to you on or around 1 August).
  • Who bears the cost of the referral payment? The cost of the referral payment is borne by us, not the Referred Creator.
    1. Our rights relating to the referral program.
      1. If referral payments have been made incorrectly then we have the right to recover the wrongly paid sums from the User to whom the wrongly paid sums have been paid.
      2. We may request you or Referred Creators (or both) to provide us with ID and other information reasonably required by us to verify any referral payment to be made and the person to whom any referral payment should be made. Failure to provide any information requested by us may lead to you losing your entitlement to referral payments in respect of the relevant Referred Creator.
      3. We may change any aspect of the Unlok Referral Program (including how referral payments are calculated) or discontinue the Unlok Referral Program at any time, but no change will deprive any Referring User of referral payments already earned based on Subscriber Payments made to Referred Creators before the changes came into effect.
    2. Circumstances in which we may withhold referral payments:
      1. We may withhold all or any part of the referral payments due to you but not yet paid out:
    • if we think that you have or may have seriously or repeatedly breached any part of the Terms of Service;
    • if you attempt or threaten to breach any part of the Terms of Service in a way which has or could have serious consequences for us or another User (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User); or
    • if we suspect that all or any part of the referral payments due to you result from unlawful activity, either by you, by the Subscriber who made the Subscriber Payment to the Referred Creator which resulted in the referral payment, or by the Referred Creator to whom the Subscriber Payment was made which resulted in the referral payment,

    for as long as is necessary to investigate the actual, threatened or suspected breach(es) by you or the suspected unlawful activity (as applicable). If following our investigation, we conclude that (i) you have seriously or repeatedly breached any part of the Terms of Service; (ii) you have attempted or threatened to breach any part of the Terms of Service in a way which has or could have serious consequences for us or another User (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User), and/or (iii) all or any part of referral payments due to you result from unlawful activity, we may notify you that you have forfeited all or any part of your referral payments.

    1. We shall not have any responsibility to you if we withhold or forfeit any payment due to you under the Unlok Referral Program where we have a right to do so under these Referral Program Terms.
    2. If we are withholding all or any part of the referral payments due to you and we determine that part of the referral payments withheld by us is unrelated to breaches by you of the Terms of Service or suspected unlawful activity, then we may pay to you the part of the referral payments which is unrelated to breaches by you of the Terms of Service or suspected unlawful activity. However, you agree that if we consider that your breach(es) of the Terms of Service has or may cause us loss, we may withhold all referral payments due to you but not yet paid and we may set off such amounts against any losses suffered by us.
