Section 5. PopShops Service

The PopShops service provided by PopShops involves the creation of a unique storefront for you (the "storefront"). Although the PopShops service provides ready access to content to enable the simple creation of your affiliate storefront, PopShops does not own, supply, manage, host or control the content or operation of the storefront. PopShops has no affiliation with the products, materials or content displayed on the storefront or the parties who supply such products, materials or content. PopShops does not review, filter or manage the content that may be provided to you for display on your storefront. Your rights to display such content will be between you and the vendor with whom you affiliate (the "affiliated vendor") via the PopShops service. YOU ARE ASSUMING ALL OF THE RISK FOR CONTENT THAT IS LOADED ON YOUR STOREFRONT. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT AND OPERATION OF YOU YOUR STOREFRONT. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE BETWEEN YOU AND THE AFFILIATED VENDOR. YOU HAVE AGREED IN THIS CONTRACT TO INDEMNIFY POPSHOPS AND TO HOLD POPSHOPS PARTIES HARMLESS FOR CLAIMS OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM YOUR STOREFRONT INCLUDING THE CONTENT THEREOF.

PopShops earns compensation from providing the PopShops service to you. Our compensation model is aligned with PopShops's customer focused business value objectives; we charge a Subscription Fee for providing the service and do not take a cut of your commissions.

You may terminate the PopShops service and the compensation subscription program by canceling the service (as described below). Upon cancellation, you must immediately cease use of any materials or content provided to you by PopShops.

Section 6. You Are Responsible For Your Service Account

Only you may use your service account. You are responsible for all activity that takes place with your service account, your storefront, or an associated account. You may not authorize any third party to access and/or use the service on your behalf. You agree that you will only create one account.

Section 7. Payment

    • Registration. You may register for any of the services described on our plan page. By registering, you authorize PopShops to charge applicable recurring subscription fees (the Subscription Fees) via our payment gateway to your designated billing payment method.
    • Fifteen Day Trial. The plan page may describe a free fifteen (15) day trial period for the subscription services. This trial period shall begin upon your activation of that plan and shall expire fifteen (15) calendar days thereafter (the "Trial Period". YOU MUST CANCEL THE SERVICE BEFORE EXPIRATION OF THE TRIAL PERIOD TO AVOID ANY CHARGES FOR THE SERVICE. If you have not cancelled the service prior to expiration of the Trial Period, your paid service period shall begin. Subscriptions Fees shall be billed monthly on a 30-day cycle, which shall begin at the end of the Trial Period and end thirty (30) days thereafter, renewing automatically until cancelled by either party (the first such monthly period and each automatically renewed period is a "Subscription Month"). You are allowed one (1) Free Trial Period per subscriptions service.
    • Subscription Fees. The Subscription Fees are described on our plan page. All Subscription Fees are subject to change on a prospective basis upon notice from PopShops to the email address of record and you hereby agree to pay any such revised Subscription Fees for any Subscription Month during which you receive services, subject to the cancellation provisions set forth below. If you upgrade your service plan at any time to a more expensive service, your Subscription Fees will immediately increase to the higher applicable Subscription Fee on a pro-rated basis for the then current Subscription Month (unless you are eligible for a Free Trial of that more expensive service). If you downgrade your membership to a lower cost service, such service plan change shall become effective during the Subscription Month immediately following the then current Subscription Month. There are no refunds for downgrading your account.
    • Payment. You are responsible for keeping your billing up to date within your account during the term of Service. If PopShops is unable to charge your chosen billing payment method during any Subscription Month, PopShops may: (i) immediately suspend or terminate your PopShops account including all active shops and/or (ii) seek collection of the outstanding Subscription Fees owed.
    • Billing Authorizations for Trial Period. You are required to provide billing payment method at the time of registration for subscription services, including any free Trial Period. You agree that PopShops may obtain a pre-authorization for the applicable Subscription Fee amount that you will be charged if you do not cancel the service prior to expiration of the Trial Period. It is possible that some financial institutions may perceive these requested amounts as actual pending charges. These are not actual charges, however, and PopShops will not be responsible for any results, such as an overdraft fee, that may occur to your account because of them. If you cancel the Service prior to expiration of the Trial Period, the subscription pre-authorization requests will be removed. PopShops is not responsible for the length of time required by your financial institution or any delay on the financial institution's part to remove such pre-authorization amounts from your account. PopShops will not be responsible for any results, such as an overdraft fee, that may occur to your account because of them.

You agree that any suggestions, improvements, ideas or other content that you submit to PopShops related to our services (the "Feature Requests") shall be owned by PopShops and shall deemed to have been assigned to PopShops by you upon such submission. To the extent that you provide any materials in conjunction with utilizing our services, provided those are not Feature Requests or materials that we license to you, we do not claim ownership of such materials you post or otherwise provide to us related to the service (called a "submission"). However, by posting or otherwise providing your submission, you are granting to the public free permission to:

  • use, copy, distribute, display, publish, modify and create derivative works of your submission, each in connection with the service;

We will not pay you for your submission or feature requests. We may refuse to publish, and may remove your submission from the service at any time. For every submission and feature request that you make, you must have all rights necessary for you to assign or grant the permissions in this section. In addition, the foregoing provision does not modify or any agreement that you may have with an affiliate vendor.
