5. Fees, Payment, Withholding and Renewal

‍

a. Krispy Cut Fees for Creator Accounts

Krispy Cuts does not charge creators any monthly fees or membership dues. As a creator, the amount you get paid will be stated on the campaign and application page. This amount varies from campaign to campaign. This percentage is used to maintain our platform, market your services to brands, create new related products to offer creators and brands and to pay for all payment processing fees that our payment processors charge us when billing a brand.

‍

Fees and Changes. We may change our fees at any time in accordance with these Terms and requirements under applicable law. This means that we may change our fees going forward, start charging fees for Services that were previously free, or remove or update features or functionality that were previously included in the fees.

‍

Withholding Funds. We reserve the right to withhold any payments to creators if they have not followed the brand script provided, are not able to complete the video by the notified deadline, are not able to shoot the video in accordance with our filming guidelines or the quality of the video is not up to our standard quality.

‍

b. Krispy Cut Fees for Brand Accounts

Fees for Paid Services. Some of our Services are offered for a fee, GetKrispy.com (collectively, “Paid Services”). By using a Paid Service, you agree to pay the specified fees. Depending on the Paid Service, there may be one-time fees, recurring fees, or revenue-based fees. For recurring fees, we’ll bill or charge you in the automatically-renewing interval (such as monthly, annually, or biennially) you select, on a pre-pay basis until you cancel, which you can do at any time by contacting the relevant support team.

‍

Taxes. To the extent permitted by law, or unless explicitly stated otherwise, all fees do not include applicable federal, provincial, state, local or other governmental sales, value-added, goods and services, harmonized or other taxes, fees, or charges (“Taxes”). You’re responsible for paying all applicable Taxes relating to your use of our Services, your payments, or your purchases. If we’re obligated to pay or collect Taxes on the fees you’ve paid or will pay, you’re responsible for those Taxes, and we may collect payment.

‍

Payment. If your payment fails, Paid Services are otherwise not paid for or paid for on time (for example, if you contact your bank or credit card company to decline or reverse the charge of fees for Paid Services), or we suspect a payment is fraudulent, we may immediately cancel or revoke your access to Paid Services without notice to you.

‍

Automatic Renewal. To ensure uninterrupted service, some account may have a renewal fee, paid Services are automatically renewed. This means that unless you cancel a Paid Service before the end of the applicable subscription period, it will automatically renew, and you authorize us to use any payment mechanism we have on record for you, like credit cards or PayPal, or invoice you (in which case payment is due within 15 days) to collect the then-applicable subscription fee as well as any Taxes. By default, your Paid Services will be renewed for the same interval as your original subscription period, so for example, if you purchase a one-year subscription to a GetKrispy plan, you’ll be charged each year for access for another 12-month period. We may charge your account up to one month before the end of the subscription period to make sure pesky billing issues don’t inadvertently disrupt your access to our Services. The date for the automatic renewal is based on the date of the original purchase and cannot be changed. If you’ve purchased access to multiple services, you may have multiple renewal dates.

‍

Cancelling Automatic Renewal. You can manage and cancel your Paid Services through your Get Krispy account or by simply emailing hi@getkrispy.com.

‍

If auto-renew is successfully turned off, you’ll see the date on which your subscription expires. If you have multiple Paid Services to cancel, repeat this process for each subscription.

‍

Refunds. All creator credits are non-refundable. Once you create a campaign, our team starts a search to find the best creators for you, this search involved resources from our end and is thus nonrefundable.
