License Grants
Subject to these Terms of Use, Hypemarket grants you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive and non-transferable license during the Term to permit you to access and use the Platform in accordance with these Terms of Use.
Subject to these Terms of Use, you grant to Hypemarket a perpetual, transferrable, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide and fully sublicensable license to access, collect, store and use any data, information, records and files that (1) you load, transmit to or enter into the Platform, or (2) we collect from your local computer system or from third-parties with your permission, and (in each case) including all results from processing such data, including compilations, and derivative works thereof solely for the purpose of: (A) providing the Platform Services, (B) complying with applicable law, and (C) Hypemarket’s reasonable audit and data retention policies.
User Account
You will be required to successfully sign up for a user account (the “User Account”) using the available interfaces at the Platform and be issued with a username and password login credentials by Hypemarket (“User ID”) in order to use the Platform and communicate with Campaign Initiators through the Platform. If you are issued with a User ID, you shall keep your User ID secure and shall not share your User ID with anyone else, and you shall not collect or harvest any personal data of any other user of Hypemarket, including account names. Hypemarket reserves the right to disable any User Account issued to you at any time in Hypemarket’s sole discretion. If Hypemarket disables access to a User Account issued to you, you may be prevented from accessing Hypemarket, your account details or any Campaigns that are associated with your account.
Term and Termination
These Terms of Use shall commence on the day you first use the Platform and will continue into force until terminated by either party (the “Term”). Either party may terminate these Terms of Use as follows: (1) Hypemarket may terminate these Terms of Use at any time and with immediate effect by giving notice to you, at Hypemarket’s discretion, by email (at your current email address on file with Hypemarket) or through the Platform; (2) you may terminate these Terms of Use at any time and with immediate effect by requesting (by email or through any then-available interfaces on the Platform) that your User Account be deleted, ceasing use of the Platform and uninstalling and removing all local software components thereof.
Campaign Agreements with Campaign Initiators
The Platform permits you to view the Campaign Initiator Profiles of Campaign Initiators who have registered on our Platform and have chosen to allow you to view their Campaign Initiator Profiles. If a Campaign Initiator selects you for a Campaign through the Platform, you may separately enter into an agreement with that Campaign Initiator on such terms and conditions as may be agreed to between you and that Campaign Initiator (“Campaign Agreement”). For example, the Campaign Agreement may contain (a) a description of the services you will provide to the Campaign Initiator, (b) payment terms, and (c) any other terms and conditions as communicated between you and the Campaign Initiator through this Platform or otherwise. You understand that you are performing services for the Campaign Initiator, and not Hypemarket, and that Hypemarket is not a party to and will be in no way responsible for the performance of either you or the Campaign Initiator under any Campaign Agreement, except for facilitating the transmission of payment from the Campaign Initiator to you on their instructions in accordance with these Terms of Use. Hypemarket does not make any representations or warranties of any kind in respect of a Campaign Initiator or a Campaign Agreement. You also agree to act in good faith when negotiating and performing your obligations under each Campaign Agreement. Hypemarket does not provide any guarantees or insurance on the shipment of merchandise to influencers from Campaign Initiators. Campaign Initiators ship merchandise at their own risk.
If you enter into a Campaign Agreement other than through the use of the Platform, you will notify Hypemarket within seven (7) days of the date of such Campaign Agreement.
Facilitated Payments Withholding Consent
If Hypemarket facilitates the transmission of any payments from the Campaign Initiator to you in connection with a Campaign Agreement (each, a “Facilitated Payment”), Hypemarket may in its sole discretion withhold from any such Facilitated Payment any amounts that are payable to Hypemarket by the applicable Campaign Initiator in connection with that Campaign Agreement. Hypemarket is not your trustee or fiduciary in respect of any Facilitated Payments or any Campaign Agreements. Hypemarket reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to place a hold on a Facilitated Payment, if Hypemarket determines that the funds may be subject to a breach of applicable law (e.g. fraud or money laundering), or if Hypemarket is required to cooperate with law enforcement. Furthermore, Hypemarket may hold funds from an Instagrammer, if that Instagrammer has used automated programs to gain more 'likes', 'follows', or 'comments' on their page, or any other stat applicable to their Instagram account. Hypemarket may in its sole discretion withhold any such Facilitated Payment, for reasons they deem necessary to protect companies using the site.
Hypemarket reserves the right to offer Campaign Initiator a refund if an Instagrammer does not post within 30 days of proposal acceptance and agreement.
Payments Non-refundable
All payments or commissions received by Hypemarket from a Campaign Initiator or Instagrammer are 100% non-refundable upon receipt by Hypemarket. Hypemarket shall have the sole and absolute discretion to refund all or a portion of any commission or payment received.
Six Month Exclusivity
For a period of six (6) months commencing on the later of: (i) the date when you last communicated with a Campaign Initiator in respect of a Campaign, whether through the Platform or otherwise, and (ii) the execution date of a Campaign Agreement entered into with a Campaign Initiator (the “Commencement Date”), neither you nor your agents or affiliates will enter into an agreement directly or indirectly with such Campaign Initiator for the creation of any promotional media content, subject to the following exemptions:
The agreement you are entering into with the Campaign Initiator is a Campaign Agreement, in respect of which Hypemarket will receive a fee as provided for thereunder; or
You were engaged in good-faith negotiations with the Campaign Initiator for the creation of that promotional media content on or before the Commencement Date; or
You are renewing a pre-existing agreement with the Campaign Initiator that expired after the Commencement Date.
