USING THE SERVICES.
1. Platform.
  The Services include a platform (the “Platform”) where Creators can sell benefits (“Benefits”), including, but not limited to, “Memberships” whose ownership is stored on digital ledgers. Pricing and payment terms, including the specific details with relation to the offering of any Memberships, shall be set forth at the point of sale. Certain portions of the Platform may be accessible only through the Membership Community of a particular Creator. Memberships and Benefits listed on the Platform are being offered by the individuals seeking to sell Memberships and Benefits (“Sellers”), and the actual contracts for sale are between the Sellers and the individuals seeking to buy Memberships and/or Benefits (as applicable) (“Buyers”). While we may, in our discretion, help facilitate resolution of disputes through various programs, we have no control over the quality of Memberships offered on the Platform nor the Benefits offered by the Sellers. We cannot control or guarantee the truth or accuracy of a Member’s or Creator’s Content, the ability of the Creator to deliver the Benefits, the ability of Sellers to sell Memberships, the ability of Buyers to pay for Memberships, or that a Buyer and Seller will actually complete a transaction or deliver or return any Memberships listed on the Platform or deliver any of the Benefits they offer. While HQZ may provide pricing and guidance for Memberships sold by Sellers on our Platform, such information is solely informational. We do not have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any aspect whatsoever of any reviews provided by Members, Memberships sold by Sellers, Benefits offered or sold by the Creators or of the integrity, responsibility, or any actions of any Members. HQZ makes no representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness or accuracy in public, private or offline interactions. When interacting with other Members you should exercise caution and common sense to protect your personal safety and property, just as you would when interacting offline with other persons whom you don’t know. HQZ IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER OF THE SERVICES. HQZ WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICES OR YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE ANY Memberships PURCHASED THROUGH THE SERVICES.
2. Purchasing Memberships through the Platform.
  You may from time to time have the opportunity to purchase Memberships through the Platform. Memberships may be redeemed for or used to ‘unlock’ various goods, rights, and other privileges on or through the Services, including, but not limited to, unique Creator Content not otherwise available to Members. The terms applicable to the purchase of each Membership will be displayed to you at the point of sale, and such terms will be viewable at all times thereafter by the then-current owner of the relevant Membership. When you purchase a Membership through the Platform, you agree to comply with any terms, including licenses or payment rights, that are embedded within or otherwise included with such Membership, and to make commercially reasonable efforts to bind subsequent owners of such Memberships to any such terms. Unless otherwise expressly set forth at the point of sale for such Membership, ownership of a Memberships does not convey any right, title or interest in or to the Content, including any characters, artwork, or other work of authorship, embodied by or linked to such Membership (such Content, “Membership IP”). Unless otherwise expressly set forth at the point of sale for such Membership, when you purchase a Membership you shall receive in connection with such Membership a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to view and display the Membership IP for your personal, non-commercial use solely in accordance with the functionality of the Services for so long as you own such Membership.
3. Storage of Your Memberships.
  HQZ will record ownership of your Memberships on its internal ledger. You will be able to access your Memberships through your Account. If you lose your Account, you may lose access to your Memberships. While your Memberships may be interoperable with other compatible platforms, digital wallets or other services, only Memberships supported by HQZ that are stored on the Platform will be accessible through the Platform. Memberships that have been transferred out of your Account to a third-party platform, digital wallet or other service may no longer be compatible with the Platform, and HQZ disclaims all liability in connection with Memberships that have been so transferred.
4. Memberships Communities.
  Members may from time to time be given access to Membership Communities through the Platform. Each Membership Community has unique access requirements. Members may be able to use certain Memberships to gain access to a Membership Community. Once you join a Membership Community, you may have access to certain Creator Content and/or Third-Party Websites and/or Third-Party Applications (as defined below) through such Membership Community.
5. Selling Memberships through the Platform.
  PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR SELLING MEMBERSHIPS THROUGH THE PLATFORM BEFORE USING THE PLATFORM TO SELL MEMBERSHIPS. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, applicable law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who has an account which has the ability to list items for sale on the Platform. When you engage in transactions on the Platform, we may ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us and/or our Payment Processor(s) (as defined below) to identify you. We may also ask for a copy of your driver’s license or other identifying documents. We reserve the right to require you to provide additional information and documents in accordance with Section 4.3 of these Terms of Service. Failure to provide such information upon request, as well as any other violation of these Terms of Service, may result in your removal from the Services, including a termination of your ability to sell through the Platform.

  HQZ offers two types of Membership: Subscriptions; and (b) Super Memberships (each as defined below, and each a Membership). Each of these Memberships allows you to enjoy access to exclusive Content and/or Membership Communities, as described at the point of sale. You can purchase a Membership through the Services. By purchasing a Membership, you authorize us to charge the relevant fees to the payment method with which you placed the order.

Subscriptions will automatically be renewed at the end of the relevant subscription period at the then-current subscription fee, except if your payment method payment is declined or if you have canceled your Subscription. You have the right to cancel your Subscription at any time, and if you do so you will be permitted to enjoy the benefits attached to the Subscription until the end of your subscription period in which you canceled, after which no further payments will be taken from your payment method in respect of the Subscription (unless you choose to renew your Subscription at a later stage) and you will no longer be able to continue to enjoy the benefits attached to the Subscription.

When you purchase a Super Membership, you will continue to enjoy the benefits attached to it until the expiration date specified by the Creator selling the Super Membership and specified at the point of sale.
9. Account Management.
  Certain Creators may use third party companies, agencies or individuals to manage their account for them (including but not limited to the posting of content and answering of messages sent to the account), meaning that when interacting with a Creator you may be interacting with a third party company, agency or individual. HQZ is not responsible for your interaction with, or the management of, a Creator account, nor is HQZ responsible for ensuring your interactions are with the Creator themselves. HQZ WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH A CRETOR OR A THIRD PARTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY, AGENCY OR INDIVIDUAL MANAGING THE CREATOR’S ACCOUNT ON THEIR BEHALF.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONTENT.
1. Types of Content.
  You acknowledge that all Content shall be the sole responsibility of the party from whom such Content originated. This means that you, and not HQZ, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, sell, e-mail, transmit or otherwise make available (“Make Available”) through the Services (“Your Content”), and that other Members of the Services, and not HQZ, are similarly responsible for all Content that they Make Available through the Services (“User Content”). User Content includes, but is not limited to, Creator Content.
2. No Obligation to Pre-Screen Content.
  You acknowledge that we have no obligation to pre-screen Content (including, but not limited to, User Content), although we reserve the right in our sole discretion to monitor, pre-screen, refuse or remove any Content. By entering into these Terms of Service, you hereby provide your irrevocable consent to such monitoring. You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of privacy concerning the transmission of Your Content, including, but not limited to, chat, text, or voice communications. In the event that HQZ pre-screens, refuses or removes any Content, you acknowledge that HQZ will do so for HQZ’ benefit, not yours. Without limiting the foregoing, we shall have the right to remove any Content that violates these Terms of Service or that we otherwise determine in our sole discretion is objectionable.
3. Storage.
  Unless expressly agreed to by us in writing elsewhere, we have no obligation to store any of Your Content that you Make Available on the Services. HQZ has no responsibility or liability for: (a) the deletion or accuracy of any Content, including Your Content; (b) the failure to store, transmit or receive transmission of Content; or (c) the security, privacy, storage, or transmission of other communications originating with or involving use of the Services. Certain Services may enable you to specify the level at which such Services restrict access to Your Content. You are solely responsible for applying the appropriate level of access to Your Content. If you do not choose, the system may default to its most permissive setting. You agree that we retain the right to create reasonable limits on our use and storage of the Content, including Your Content, such as limits on file size, storage space, processing capacity, and similar limits as determined by us in our sole discretion.
4. Prohibition on Leaked Content.
  You shall not distribute, post, spread, display, transmit, publish or otherwise provide any Restricted Content to other persons (“Leak”), including to any public or private medium, platform, feed or community. “Restricted Content” means any Content (other than Your Content, but including any Creator Content or other User Content) that is provided, streamed, made available or otherwise accessed on or through the Services on a restricted basis rather than on “public” areas of the Services, such as, for example, Content provided to Membership Communities or only to persons with a Membership, or Content provided on an exclusive basis or via a private message or a private, Membership-only or subscription only feed. Without limiting any other rights, remedies or recourse of HQZ (including without limitation the suspension or termination of your HQZ Account or the collection of damages), if you violate the foregoing prohibition on Leaks, HQZ may impose a leaking fee on you to compensate HQZ for the damages caused by such Leaks which may be collected through your Payment Method or otherwise in the same manner as other fees payable by you under this Terms of Service. Such leaking fee shall be calculated as follows: for every individual Leak (one piece of Content such as one image or one video) by you, you may be charged a leaking fee of $50 per site, platform or medium on which the leaked Content can be found, accessed or viewed. We reserve the right to impose such leaking fee for up to three “instances” for a given piece of Leaked Content, as we assume any additional Leaks may not be by the original leaker. An instance is defined as a specified site, platform or medium where the leaked Content can be found, access or viewed, as indicated in a Leak report submitted to HQZ or as otherwise discovered or reported to us. If you do not immediately remove all Content which you Leaked in violation of this paragraph from all sites, platforms and medium, we reserve the right to charge you an additional Leak remediation fee of $150. The foregoing leaking fee and Leak remediation fee are intended and designed to be a reasonable estimate of damages incurred by HQZ from unauthorized Leaks and not as a penalty for such Leaks, and therefore constitute liquidated damages as compensation to HQZ for such damages.

CREATOR TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective as of April 18, 2024.

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in the HQZ Platform (“HQZ”, “we” or “us”) and becoming a Creator on our Platform.

PLEASE READ THESE CREATOR TERMS OF SERVICE (“CREATOR TERMS OF SERVICE”) CAREFULLY.

While we’ve taken all efforts to explain your position and obligations as a Creator on our Services to you in as simple and straightforward a manner as possible, there will inevitably be clauses that do contain a little bit of ‘legalease’. If you require any further explanation or clarification with regards to any of the following, please feel free to get in touch with us and we would be more than happy to provide further explanation and assistance.

THESE CREATOR TERMS OF SERVICE ARE ADDITIONAL TERMS WHICH APPLY TO YOU IF YOU USE OUR SERVICES AS A CREATOR. NOTWITHSTANDING BEING BOUND BY THESE TERMS, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUBJECT TO THE PLATFORM TERMS OF SERVICE. IN THE EVENT OF ANY INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE PLATFORM TERMS OF SERVICE AND THESE CREATOR TERMS OF SERVICE, THESE CREATOR TERMS OF SERVICE WILL PREVAIL TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH INCONSISTENCY.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE CREATOR TERMS OF SERVICE ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY US IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION AT ANY TIME. When changes are made, we will make a new copy of these Creator Terms of Service available on or through the Services. We will also update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Creator Terms of Service. If we make any material changes, and you have registered with us to create a Creator account (“Creator Account”), we may also send an e-mail to you at the last e-mail address you provided to us. Any changes to these Creator Terms of Service will be effective immediately for new Creators on the Services and will be effective thirty (30) days after posting notice of such changes on the Website for existing Creators. We may also require you to provide consent to the updated Creator Terms of Service in a specified manner before further use of the Services as a Creator is permitted. If you do not agree to any change(s) after receiving a notice of such change(s), you shall stop using the Services as a Creator. Otherwise, your continued use of the Services as a Creator constitutes your acceptance of such change(s). PLEASE REGULARLY CHECK THE SERVICES TO VIEW THE THEN-CURRENT CREATOR TERMS OF SERVICE.

Unless defined in these Creator Terms of Service, the defined terms used in these Creator Terms of Service are as defined in the Platform Terms of Service.
