Payments earned as a result of valid Advertising Actions will accrue and be posted to Your Account. All payments will be made in U.S. Dollars. Generally, accrued payments will be available for withdrawal or transfer thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar month in which they accrued. For example, revenue generated as a result of Advertising Actions on June 30 and July 1 will be available for withdrawal on July 30 and August 30, respectively.

If You dispute Revver's payments made to You under this Agreement, You must notify Revver in writing within thirty (30) days of Revver depositing such payment to Your Account.

Revver will use reasonable efforts to resolve any such dispute in good faith, but Revver's resolution will be final. You are responsible for any and all applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity in connection with Your Participation. Revver may change its pricing and/or payment structure at any time, upon thirty (30) days' prior notice of any such change (unless Revver is required by law to provide more than thirty (30) days notice). All modified payment terms shall be effective thirty (30) days after notice has been provided to You by Revver (or such other time period specified in such notice).

By continuing to Participate following notice of any modified payment terms as set forth herein, You accept and agree to be bound by such modified payment terms. For the purposes of checking credit, effecting payment and/or servicing Your Account, Revver may share with third parties, such as payment processors and/or credit agencies, any credit card and related payment information that You provide.
(d) Exceptions. Revver will have no obligation to pay any amounts, and is permitted to deduct or withhold any amounts from or posted to Your Account, determined or reasonably suspected by Revver in its sole discretion to have resulted from: (i) Action Fraud (as defined in Section 11 ("Action Fraud") below), including without limitation through any clicks originating from Your IP addresses or computers under Your control, solicited by payment of money, false representation or request for end users to click on Ads, or Actions co-mingled with a significant number of invalid Advertising Actions; (ii) Advertising Actions originating on Video Content that breaches this Agreement, including but not limited to the restrictions set forth in Section 12 ("Adult Content") and Section 13 ("Copyright Infringement"); or (iii) fraudulent, misleading or false activities.

(b) Effect of Termination. General. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Your right to Participate (including but not limited Your right to receive compensation, if any, as an Artist or a Syndicator) will automatically terminate. In the event of termination, Your Account will be disabled and You may not be granted access to Your Account or any files or other content contained in Your Account although residual copies of information may remain in the Revver Partner Program system.

In no event, however, shall Revver make payments for any earned balance less than twenty dollars ($20). Upon termination, Revver may continue to use any user analytics collected hereunder for solely internal (including archival) purposes, and all related licenses You have granted Revver shall remain in effect for this purpose only. In the event that this Agreement or the Revver Partner Program expires or is terminated, Revver shall not be obligated to return any materials to You.
Artists. Upon termination, Revver will remove any Ads or deactivate any Ad links associated with Your Video Content. Although Revver will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure Your Video Content is removed from the Revver Site within seventy-two (72) hours following termination, Revver shall have no obligation to remove any of Your Video Content that: (i) is otherwise publicly available through the Internet or other publicly accessible medium; or (ii) any of Your Video Content that is distributed by Syndicators in the Revver Syndication Network or their end users without monetary compensation as set forth in Section 10(f) ("Artists: Your Irrevocable Non-Commercial Distribution License").

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party's permitted successors and assigns.
(d) Waiver; Severability. The failure to require performance of any provision shall not affect Revver's right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. If any portion of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, such portion will be modified to reflect the parties' intention and only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
(e) Export Restrictions/Legal Compliance. You agree to comply with all United States and other applicable export laws and related restrictions and regulations, and not to directly or indirectly export, provide or otherwise make available the services and products of Revver in violation of any such export laws, unless any required prior authorizations or necessary approvals are obtained by You, at Your expense, from the applicable United States or foreign authority.
