  1. CONTENT CLOUD.


1.1 Purpose of Content Cloud.

Content Cloud is a content marketing publishing SAAS product, connecting Clients with a network of specialist Content Creators, in an interactive and supportive online environment allowing Clients and Content Creators to identify each other and enabling them to buy and sell Services online. Under these Client Terms and Conditions, Content Cloud provides services to both Clients and Content Creators, facilitating the formation of contracts between Clients and Content Creators, and managing disputes related to those contracts. Clients post requests for projects and invite Content Creators to apply. Content Creators post profiles and bid for projects. If a Client and Content Creator agree on terms, a Service Contract is formed directly between the Client and Content Creator subject to the provisions set forth in Section 3 (Service Contract Terms Between Client and Content Creator). Progressive Content pays Content Creators in connection with their delivery of services through Content Cloud. Progressive Content collects payment from Clients in connection with their receipt of services through Content Cloud.

1.2 Eligibility.

Content Cloud is available only to legal entities and persons who are at least eighteen (18) years old and are otherwise capable of forming legally binding contracts under applicable law. You warrant that you are not a citizen or resident of a country in which use or participation of Content Cloud is prohibited by law, decree, regulation, treaty or administrative act.

  1. CONTENT CLOUD GENERAL USER POLICIES


2.1 Subscription Fees.

Progressive Content charges the Client the Subscription Fee (including any commission set out therein) for the provision of services through Content Cloud of connecting the Client with Content Creators and collecting payment for the work carried out by the Content Creators.

In the event that content files held by the Client under the Service Contract require the storage on Content Cloud of material in excess of 10GB, Content Cloud reserves the right to charge the Client a fee (to be determined by Content Cloud in good faith and reflective of market rates for such storage) in respect of such excess storage requirements.

2.2 Payment instructions to Content Creators

Content Cloud will automatically disburse funds to Content Creators according to the payment instructions on file with Content Cloud no more than thirty (30) days after the funds become payable.

2.3 Payments outside Content Cloud.

Client shall make all payments relating to, or in any way connected with, a Service Contract through Content Cloud. Any action that encourages or solicits complete or partial payment outside of Content Cloud is a violation of these Client Terms and Conditions. Should a Client or Content Creator be found in violation of this section of these Client Terms and Conditions, the Client or Content Creator (as the case may be) shall be liable for an amount with respect to each Service Contract equal to the greater of a) £5,000; or b) the applicable fees had the payments been processed through Content Cloud, plus fifty per cent. (50%).

2.4 Contracting Outside Content Cloud.

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth above, Users may agree to provide or receive Services outside of Content Cloud with Users first identified through Content Cloud if the Services are rendered more than three (3) years after the Client first identifies the Content Creator through Content Cloud. If Services are rendered outside of Content Cloud less than three (3) years after the Client first identifies the Content Creator through Content Cloud, the Client shall be in breach of these Client Terms and Conditions and shall be liable for an amount with respect to each contract rendered outside Content Cloud equal to the greater of a) £5,000; or b) the applicable fees had the payments been processed through Content Cloud, plus fifty per cent. (50%). For the avoidance of doubt, this clause shall not apply to Clients who have previously engaged the Content Creator prior to the Client joining Content Cloud.

  1. SERVICE CONTRACT TERMS BETWEEN CLIENT AND CONTENT CREATOR.


Unless otherwise agreed to in writing signed by both Client and Content Creator, the terms and conditions of the Service Contract are as set forth in Sections 3.1 through 3.9 below ("Standard Terms"). Client and Content Creator may not agree to any other terms and conditions that affect the rights or responsibilities of Progressive Content.

3.1 Services.

Content Creator shall perform Services in a professional manner and shall timely deliver any agreed-upon Work Product.

3.2 Performance by Content Creator.

Work performed under a Content Creator’s profile must be performed by the Content Creator represented.

3.3 Client Payments and Billing.

Client shall pay the agreed amount for the approved project through Content Cloud to Progressive Content, and Client will have no obligation of direct payment to Content Creator. Content Creator agrees that it will be paid solely by Progressive Content.

3.4 Termination of a Service Contract.

The Client may terminate a Service Contract at any time but may not recover any payments already made. The Content Creator may terminate a Service Contract at any time if no payment has been made by the Client. If a payment has been made by a Client on a Service Contract, the Content Creator may terminate only with the Client's consent or after the Client’s payment has been refunded.

3.5 Client Deliverables.

Client grants the Content Creator a limited, non-exclusive, revocable (at any time, at Client's sole discretion) right to use the Client Deliverables as necessary for the performance of the Services. Client reserves all other rights and interest, including, without limitation, all Proprietary Rights, in and to the Client Deliverables. Upon completion or termination of the Service Contract, or upon written request by the Client, the Content Creator shall immediately return all Client Deliverables to the Client.

3.6 Work Product.

Users may vary the default position of this Clause 3.6 on Proprietary Rights in Work Product by confirming the agreed position in writing using the Content Cloud messaging system before any work commences. If the position is not clearly agreed between the Users in writing then the default position below shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, photographers, illustrators and videographers may therefore agree the rights that are granted during the commissioning process in writing should they wish to vary the default position below.

Unless otherwise agreed between the Client and Content Creator in writing, Proprietary Rights in Work Product shall be owned by the Content Creator until payment has been made by the Client to Progressive Content, at which time the Content Creator will be deemed to have assigned all Proprietary Rights in the Work Product to the Client. If the Client does not pay in full, the Content Creator may terminate the Service Contract by refunding any partial payment made by the Client, and the Content Creator will retain Proprietary Rights in Work Product. To the extent that under applicable law, Proprietary Rights cannot be assigned, the Content Creator hereby irrevocably agrees to grant, and hereby grants, to Client an exclusive (excluding also the Content Creator), perpetual, irrevocable, unlimited, worldwide, fully paid, and unconditional license to use and commercialise the Work Product in any manner now known or in the future discovered. To the extent such license grant is not fully valid, effective or enforceable under applicable law, the Content Creator hereby irrevocably agrees to grant, and hereby grants, to Client, such rights as Client reasonably requests in order to acquire, as close as possible, all rights equivalent to full legal ownership. In the case that under applicable law, the Content Creator retains any moral rights or other inalienable rights to the Work Product or Confidential Information under this Agreement, the Content Creator irrevocably agrees to waive, and hereby waives, all such rights, or, to the extent the Content Creator cannot waive such rights, the Content Creator agrees not to exercise such rights, until the Content Creator has provided prior written notice to Client and then only in accordance with any reasonable instructions that Client issues in the interest of protecting its rights. The Content Creator obligations under this Section 3.6 will continue even after the Content Creator de-registers from or ceases use of Content Cloud. The Content Creator appoints the Client as its attorney-in-fact to execute documents on the Content Creator’s behalf for the purposes set forth in this Section 3.6.

3.7 Content Creators as Independent Contractors.

Client assumes all liability for the proper classification of Content Creators as independent contractors. These Client Terms and Conditions do not create a partnership or agency relationship between the Client and Content Creator. The Content Creator does not have authority to enter into written or oral - whether implied or express - contracts on behalf of Client. The Content Creator acknowledges that Progressive Content does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control Content Creator’s work or Services performed in any manner. Progressive Content does not set Content Creator’s work hours and location of work. Client and Content Creator will be solely responsible for all tax returns and payments required to be filed with or made to any tax authority, in any nation, with respect to Content Creator’s performance of Services. Client may not require an exclusive relationship between Client and Content Creator. A Content Creator is classified as an independent contractor and is free at all times to provide Services to persons or businesses other than Client, including any competitor of Client. Client and Content Creator agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Progressive Content from any and all claims arising out of or related to their Service Contract.

3.8 General.

Service Contracts shall be governed by Sections 6 (Confidential Information), 11 (General), and 12 (Definitions) of these Client Terms and Conditions, as applicable either directly or by way of analogy.

3.9 Entire Agreement.

The terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3 and any additional or different terms expressly agreed by Client and Content Creator shall constitute the entire agreement and understanding of Client and Content Creator with respect to each Service Contract and shall cancel and supersede any other prior or contemporaneous discussions, agreements, representations, warranties, and/or other communications between them.
