B. In-Demand Content Pricing. If a requesting Customer purchases your In-Demand Content pursuant to Section 2.B above, Stringr shall pay you the amount set forth in the the push notification made available to you on the Service prior to your submission of the applicable In-Demand Content (the "In-Demand Rate"). You acknowledge and agree that the In-Demand Rate shall be determined in Stringr's sole discretion, taking into account certain factors, including geographical location, time of day, type of Customer request, and other various factors as may be determined by Stringr from time to time. The following In-Demand Rate shall apply to unique downloads; if the requesting Customer downloads the same item of In-Demand Content more than once, you will be paid once only. Your acceptance of the In-Demand Rate shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any separate terms that may apply between you and Stringr.

C. Payment Terms. Without limiting Sections 3.A and 3.B above, all payments made to you under this Agreement (the "Contributor Fees") shall be governed by the following terms:

(i) If you are a "US Person" as said term is defined by the IRS, and you receive Contributor Fees exceeding five hundred dollars ($500) in a fiscal year, we may require you to submit a signed and completed IRS Form W-9 must be submitted to Stringr for Stringr to make any further payments to you to you. If required, you will receive an email containing instructions on how to download and submit this IRS form to us. Foreign persons might be subject to U.S. income tax on income they receive from U.S. sources. If you are a "Foreign Person" as said term is defined by the IRS, a signed and completed IRS Form W-8 may be required to be submitted to Stringr in order for you to claim a reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding as a resident of a foreign country with which the United States has an income tax treaty. If required, you will receive an email containing instructions on how to download and submit this IRS form to us.

(ii) Payments will be issued within two business days following each unique download of your Contributor Content. Payments are automatic and do not need to be requested. If you are credited with a download or downloads and Stringr for any reason thereafter issues a refund to the Customer(s) that downloaded your Contributor Content, Stringr shall have the right to deduct such refunded amounts from your Contributor Fees.

(iii) To the extent determined by us to be appropriate, payment of the Contributor Fees will be net of: (i) taxes or other withholdings that we determine are required by applicable law; (ii) bad debts or other uncollectible sums; (iii) legal and other reasonable fees incurred in enforcing this Agreement or any other Agreement between you and Stringr; (iv) fees, charges and/or costs payable to or deducted by financial institutions for the processing of any credit card, debit card, e-check or alternative payment method and/or currency conversion for payments received by us or paid to you in a currency other than U.S. Dollars; (v) refunded payments for your Contributor Content; and (vi) any amounts owing by you to us under this Agreement or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we are entitled to set-off against any amount owing to you, all amounts to which we are or may be entitled under this Agreement, any other agreement or otherwise at law, including withholding amounts as security for any pending or threatened claim relating to any matter which is the subject of a representation, warranty or indemnity under this Agreement.

(iv) Contributors will receive payments solely through PayPal, a third party online payment processing service. The PayPal service is not under our control; PayPal has its own independent user agreement and privacy policy that will govern your use of the PayPal service, in addition to any other agreement entered into by and between you and PayPal. Stringr's obligation to make payment to you hereunder shall be fulfilled by submitting payment to your PayPal account via the PayPal service. You may not share your PayPal account with another Stringr contributor.

10. Miscellaneous Provisions.

A. Independent Contractors. The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement or the rights granted herein, any upload or submission of Contributor Content or access to or use of the Service shall create a joint venture, partnership, employment relationship, or franchise or fiduciary relationship between the parties.

B. Information Audit. Upon reasonable notice, you will promptly allow us to inspect and provide us with information or documentation requested by us relating to (i) the creation of any Contributor Content, (ii) clearances or releases that have been obtained for any of any Contributor Content, and/or (iii) licenses, agreements or instruments relating to ownership of or rights to any Contributor Content. You also consent to us providing any of the same you have provided to us to Customers or prospective Customers.

C. Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under this Agreement, then, unless another location is expressly specified in this Agreement, you and Stringr agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located San Francisco County, California for the purpose of litigating any dispute. We operate the Service from our offices in California, and we make no representation that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations.

D. Modification of this Agreement. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change this Agreement on a going-forward basis at any time. Please check this Agreement periodically for changes. If a change to this Agreement materially modifies your rights or obligations, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you of the change, such as through sending an email to any address you may have used to register an account, through a pop-up window on the Service, or other similar mechanism. Any material modifications to this Agreement will be effective upon the earlier of (i) your first use of the Service with actual notice of such change, or (ii) 30 days from posting of such change, provided that (i) any Contributor Content that you upload, submit or otherwise provide to us under this Agreement shall be governed by the version of the Agreement that was in effect at the time of such submission; and (ii) any disputes arising under this Agreement will be resolved in accordance with the version of this Agreement that was in effect at the time the dispute arose. Immaterial modifications shall be effective upon publication. If you do not agree to the modified Agreement, your sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate your account and you may no longer use the Service.

E. General. This Agreement, together with the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and the Stringr Submission Guidelines, is the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Stringr regarding your use of the Service and your submission of your Contributor Content. As between you and Stringr, to the extent that this Agreement conflicts with the Terms of Service, this Agreement shall prevail. Except as expressly permitted above, this Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of all parties to this Agreement. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or your rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign this Agreement at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of this Agreement, or any provision of this Agreement, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in this Agreement is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. If any part of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.

11. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration.

A. Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Stringr in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Stringr agree that every dispute arising in connection with this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND STRINGR ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

B. Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 11.A, we both agree that nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either of us to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

C. Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Stringr will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Stringr.

D. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or if we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail ("Notice"). Stringr's address for Notice is: Stringr Inc., 548 Market Street, Unit #50338, San Francisco, CA 94104. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Stringr may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Stringr must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Stringr will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by Stringr in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator's award; or (iii) $1,000.

E. Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with this Agreement, Stringr will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Francisco County, California, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Stringr for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.

F. No Class Actions. YOU AND STRINGR AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Stringr agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

G. Modifications. If Stringr makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Stringr's address for Notice), you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Stringr's address for Notice, in which case your account with Stringr will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject will survive.

H. Enforceability. If Section 11.F is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 11 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 11 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 10.C will govern any action arising out of or related to this Agreement.
