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.

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.
