Club: Brand Terms & Conditions

Last Revised: August 2023

The Order Form together with these Terms & and Conditions constitute the agreement between Club and the Brands for the use of the Club Platform (the “Agreement”).

Club and its affiliates (“Club”) have created a marketing platform (the “Club Platform”) on which third party brands (a “Brand” and “Brands”) can engage a community of entities and individuals (the “Users”) to promote the Brands (“Brand Program”).

The Users, as part of the process of applying to become a Club on the Club Platform, are required to enter into a Terms of Service Agreement with Club, the most recent version of which, as updated, is available on the Club website https://www.club.co/userterms

1. Content On The Club Platform

Brand Content.  When using the Club Platform a Brand may share, by posting or transmitting, various content, included but not limited to videos, photos, sound clips and comments (“Brand Content”). The Brand is solely responsible for its Brand Content and the consequences of sharing it using the Club Platform. The Brand therefore warrants, acknowledges and agrees that it owns and/or has the necessary licenses and other rights to use and share the Brand Content on the Club Platform and that Club is not responsible for pre-screening any Brand Content that is posted or transmitted by the Brand on the Club Platform. Club acknowledges and agrees that the Brands are the owners (or licensees) of their respective Brand Content that (in whatever form) is submitted to Club and/or uploaded on the Club Platform and/or the Club Website by/on behalf of the Brands, and unless expressly granted in writing by a Brand, no rights in or to the Brand Content except those expressly set forth herein are granted to Club.

Club Content.  When using the Club Platform, the Users may post or transmit various content, included but not limited to videos, photos, sound clips and comments (“Club Content”). Club Content is not the content of Club, but of the individual Users who posts or transmits the content and who holds all rights, including intellectual property rights, in and to the Club Content. Pursuant to Club’s Terms of Service Agreement with the Users, the Users have granted Club a non-exclusive, sub-licensable and royalty-free worldwide license to use, reproduce, make available to the public, publish, translate, modify, create derivative works from, and distribute the Club Content (the “Club Content License”).

Club grants the Brand a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid, worldwide license to use, reproduce, make available to the public, publish, translate, modify create derivative works from, and distribute the Club Content, at the brands discretion. This is done so on the explicit acknowledgement and agreement by the Brands that (i) Club disclaims any and all representations and warranties relating to the ownership or rights of the Users in and to the Club Content, including the right to grant the Club Content License to Club, (ii) Club is not responsible for pre-screening any content that is posted or transmitted on the Club Platform by the Users, and (iii) any use made by a Brand of any Club Content is therefore made at the Brands’ own risk, cost and expense. 

2. Brand Policy

The Brands understand that the Club Platform is a SaaS platform; a software tool that helps the Brands to automate Users to do marketing tasks for the Brands. A Brand is solely responsible for managing its Brand Program. Club does not monitor or interfere with the Brands’ Users’ behavior on the Club Platform. The Brand is solely responsible for managing its Brand Program and making sure that the Users follow the Brand’s policies.

3. Intellectual Property And Proprietary Rights

The Club Platform.  The Brands acknowledge and agree that Club, its subsidiaries, affiliates and/or licensors own all right, title and interest in and to the Club Platform and any and all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets and any other intellectual property and proprietary rights therein.

Club Trade Secrets and Know-How.  The Brands acknowledge and agree that the network of Users, and all information relating to Users (including their individual identities and contact information), and all information relating to all other users of the Club Platform (including without limitation publishers and advertisers), and any and all data and statistics related to the use of the Club Platform, are the trade secrets, know-how and proprietary information of Club. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Brand shall not be restricted from (i) engaging outside of the Club Platform with individuals who became Users by invitation to the Club Platform by the Brand or with Users with whom the Brand engaged outside the Club Platform before becoming a Brand, and (ii) extracting and importing to its systems and freely use unrelated to the use of the Club Platform information and data on the Brand’s engagement with Users (including campaign data derived from the Brand Program).

4. Use of the Technology

Club grants the Brands a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to make use of the Club Platform for the duration of the Agreement.

The Brands agree not to (i) reverse engineer, decompile, translate, adapt, and modify the Club Platform or any part thereof; (ii) copy, display, disclose, sell, lease, co-brand the Club Platform, or any part thereof, in any form; (iii) sub license, or otherwise transfer or permit third parties to use the rights and licenses granted hereunder; (iv) use the Club Platform in any fashion that may infringe any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or any other intellectual property or proprietary rights of Club, its subsidiaries, affiliates and/or licensors or any other third party; or (v) remove any copyright, trademark, patent or other intellectual property notices.

5. Data Protection

Club and the Brands are responsible for the compliance with their own respective data protection obligations, in particular under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679. For clarification, Club and the Brands are separate controllers for their own processing of personal data. Should the Brand extract and import to its systems information and data on the Brand’s engagement with Users, the Brand is the controller for its processing of such personal data.

Data Breach Notification and Responsibility

In the event of a data breach that affects the processing of personal data for which Club is the controller, we will promptly notify affected users and relevant authorities within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Club: User Business Conditions

Last Revised: September 2023


Welcome to Club.

When you interact with and/or promote third party brands using the Club Technology / Club Website the following set of Club Business Conditions apply:

 

Use of Discount Codes


You acknowledge and agree that if you become a follower you may be offered to utilize the Discount Code function when interacting with and/or promoting third party brands. You understand, agree and accept that under no circumstances can you distribute Discount Codes on coupon websites/forums/services or other affiliate like platforms. The Discount Codes that you generate from your account can only be used in the period as defined by Club and/or its third party brands on the platform. You may be offered an opportunity to apply for Discount Codes that you may post on your blog and/or your social media accounts. These Discount Codes should be posted only on your own blog or personal social media accounts. If Discount Codes are distributed through channels other than specified above, such as social accounts created for discount code distribution, through the use of automatic post plugins, or in any spam-like manner, Club and/or its third party brands have the right to void all commissions due to you and terminate your Club Account. Hence, all posts containing Discount Codes should be shared only with your social media and/or Blog followers.

 

Interaction with Third Party Brands


You may be invited to participate in specific social media missions and campaigns designed by third party brands in collaboration with Club. Club and the third party brands, acting independently, each reserve the unilateral right to approve, disapprove or cancel any social media missions or campaigns linked with a reward. These social media missions and campaigns may be subject to specific time limits and use limits.

 

Payment


Payment of commissions is based upon your sales of third party brand products and services utilizing Discount Codes. Your commission is based upon Gross Revenue. Gross Revenue means the amount (might exclude VAT and other official duties) actually received by the third party brand directly arising out of actions and/or transactions taking place in domain(s) controlled by you. Commission excludes, among others, any monthly or other fees charged by Club from its third party brands for the use of the Club Service. The commission shall be sent to you once the third party brand you have worked with has received the Gross Revenue attributable to your work. The Club Website will provide access to a preliminary estimate of your earned Commission. You acknowledge and agree that such estimate is not binding and is subject to change, and that the actual commission payable to you shall be finally determined after the third party brand has received the Gross Revenue in question. In the event that your status as a Club is terminated for any reason, the third party brand shall pay the outstanding balance of your Commission within 90 days from the termination date, on the condition that the third party brand has received the Gross Revenue attributable to you by said date and that you are not in breach of any of the Club Terms and Conditions. You are required to verify your ID before any said payments are processed. Verification costs are variable, and will be stated in the app upon verification. Said cost will be deducted from your Cash Account in the Club app. In the event that your Cash Account balance is in 0, your balance might go in negative.

 

Verifying your residential address

 

During the identity verification process, we may ask for additional information. If we cannot
completely verify your identity using the information you provided, we will ask for information to verify your residential address.

How do I verify my residential address?

  • Upload a copy of a utility bill, bank statement, or credit card statement that shows your residential address along with your name.
  • This document must be dated within the last 3 months and be visible in its entirety.
We will then use this information to verify the residential address associated with your Club account. 

More tips for uploading your documentation:

  • Please ensure your document uses a latin-character alphabet. Your document must include your full residential address.
    • Photograph or scan the entire document and avoid cutting off any corners or sides
    • If you take a picture of your document, please check it is taken in a well-lit area without glare. We recommend taking it in natural sunlight.
  • For scans, please make sure no parts of the document are missing
  • If using an app or program, please check that the picture does not include any logos or watermarks

Payment Method


Payment of commissions is contingent upon your providing the third party brand with such details and payment information as may be requested from time to time. It is the sole responsibility of the third party brands to issue payments to you. In no event will Club be held liable or responsible for lack of or delay in payments. Club reserves the sole right to define which payment methods will be accepted on Club Website – for example, Airwallex. You understand, acknowledge and accept that third party brands may not be able to conduct payments should you fail to provide correct, complete and up-to-date information with respect to the payment method available for use with any specific brand. There are restrictions to withdrawing cash from your Cash Account in the Club app: (i) your account must be verified, (ii) your balance must exceed the amount stated in the app, (iii) you have linked a bank account.

 
Tax Obligations


When you, as a User interact, with and/or promote third party brands, you may be eligible for rewards, gifts, gift cards, discounts, coupons, commissions and other benefits from that third party brand. You agree that all applicable taxes, fees or charges imposed by any government entity in connection with your use of the Club Service are your personal obligation, and not that of the third party brand or Club. If Club or the third party brands incurs an obligation to pay withholding taxes or other official charges in connection with payments due you, Club or the third party brand shall be entitled to deduct the corresponding amounts from payments made to you. In the event Club has good faith reasons to believe that you have breached the Terms and Conditions of the Club Terms of Service Agreement Club and the third party brands reserve the right to withhold from any payments due you.

 
Withdrawal Fees


When you, as a User, receive money into your Club account, a transfer fee may occur. Any fees will be promptly stated in the app. When withdrawing from your Club account, a fee, depending of your region, of the total amount withdrawn, will apply. If a brand you are collaborating with chooses to withdraw from the Club platform, you will receive a notification in the app informing you about this. You will also receive a notification and an email if you have these features enabled. From receiving this message you will have 14 days to withdraw any outstanding gift card balance with the brand. After 14 days of receiving the message all gift card balance from the brand will be voided.

Gift card Usage


Gift cards earned through the Club service may be used towards purchases of full-price products or services and may not be used on currently discounted products or services. Brands may waive this condition at their sole discretion. Gift cards earned are personal and can only be used by the user who earned it. You are not permitted to resell gift cards earned on Club. Club AS has the right to suspend or terminate your access to and use of the Club Technology, withdraw any compensation achieved and refuse current and future use of the Club Technology

 
Monthly Fees


You are requested and solely responsible to stay up to date with all payment and transaction terms that apply through our third party payment providers, including, but not limited to, Airwallex.
