("The Cur8 Group Corp.," "we," "us," or "our"). This Agreement governs your access to and use of the CreateBase software platform, including any associated services, updates, or content (collectively, the "Software" or "Platform").

    By accessing, downloading, installing, or using the Software, you signify your acceptance of this EULA. If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, you must immediately stop using the Software.

    In Plain English: We're giving you permission to use our software, but only for your own personal or business purposes and only if you follow the rules in this agreement and pay any required fees.

    1.2 Use Restrictions

    In Plain English: You can't mess with the software, share it with others, use automated tools to access it, or use it for anything illegal, unethical, or harmful.

    2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

    2.1 Ownership

    The Software and all associated intellectual property rights, including but not limited to copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and patents, are owned exclusively by The Cur8 Group Corp. or its licensors. Nothing in this EULA grants you any rights, title, or interest in or to the intellectual property of The Cur8 Group Corp., except for the limited license granted in Section 1.1. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by The Cur8 Group Corp.

    In Plain English: We own the software and everything that comes with it. You're just getting a license to use it as outlined in this agreement.

    2.2 User Content and Intellectual Property Disclaimer

    • By uploading, submitting, or otherwise making available content through the Platform ("User Content"), you retain ownership of your intellectual property rights in the User Content.
    • The Cur8 Group Corp. expressly disclaims any ownership or control over the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of any User Content uploaded to the Platform. The Cur8 Group Corp. has no intention of using any ownership or administrative share in a creative work to restrict Artist choices or actions, and expressly agrees not to do so. For any artist licensing decisions that would require an approval of the CreateBase Collections entity, such approval is automatically given.
    • You hereby grant The Cur8 Group Corp. a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works of, display, and perform your User Content, including in any media formats and through any media channels, solely in connection with the operation, promotion, and improvement of the Platform and The Cur8 Group Corp's business, in a manner primarily focused on passing royalty income through the Platform to artists, less our administrative fee. The Cur8 Group Corp is not responsible for third-party use of user content.
    • You represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions necessary to grant the rights contained in this section to The Cur8 Group Corp.
    In Plain English: You still own anything you upload to the platform, but you give us permission to use it as needed to operate our service, which is focused on registering, promoting, and collecting royalties for your content on your behalf. We don't control any actions but our own, we don't own your content, and we're not trying to limit how you use it on your own.

    2.3 IP Metadata Registration and Royalty Collection

    • By using the Platform, you authorize The Cur8 Group Corp. to register creative intellectual property (IP) metadata on your behalf and to act as your publishing entity for the sole purpose of facilitating royalty collection.
    • The Cur8 Group Corp. expressly disclaims any ownership or control over the copyrights to any IP referenced by the user-uploaded metadata. The Cur8 Group Corp.'s role is to act as your accountant, managing royalty collections and distributions, without assuming any ownership or control over your creative IP in a rights-ownership sense.
    In Plain English: We can handle the registration of your intellectual property details and collect royalties for you, but we're not claiming any ownership of your work. We're just here to help with the financial side.

    3. FEES AND PAYMENT

    3.1 Fees

    • Setup Fee: A reasonable setup fee is required to claim royalties through the Platform.
    • Catalog Expansion Fees: Additional charges apply for automatically adding additional artist catalogs, as detailed in our current pricing policy available on the Platform.
    • Administrative Fee: The Cur8 Group Corp. will retain a reasonable administrative fee from royalties collected, with the remainder passed through to you. The specific administrative fee percentage applicable to your account will be set forth in your onboarding documentation or account dashboard. Any increase to your administrative fee percentage will take effect only at the start of your next subscription or annual term and will not apply retroactively to the current term. CreateBase will notify you of any such change no later than thirty (30) days before the start of the next term. If you do not wish to accept the adjusted fee, you may terminate this EULA under Section 8.2 before the new term begins.
    In Plain English: You'll pay a setup fee to start using our royalty collection service. If you want us to automatically add more of your music catalogs, there are extra charges (check our current pricing for details). We'll keep a portion of the royalties we collect as our fee, and send you the rest. Your specific fee percentage is shown in your onboarding paperwork or dashboard. If we ever increase your rate, the new rate only kicks in at the start of your next term — never mid-term — and we'll tell you at least 30 days beforehand so you can cancel if you don't agree.

    3.2 Payment Terms

    • All fees are due at the time of purchase and are non-refundable except as required by applicable law.
    • The Cur8 Group Corp. reserves the right to modify its fee structure upon reasonable notice to users.
    • You are responsible for all taxes associated with your use of the Software, except for taxes based on our net income.
    In Plain English: All fees must be paid upfront and can't be refunded (unless the law requires it). We can change our prices but we'll give you notice first. You're responsible for paying any taxes on your use of our service, but we handle taxes on our own business income.

    3.3 Tax Compliance and Withholding Obligations

    (a) Income Source Classification

    The Cur8 Group Corp. will classify royalty income as either U.S. source or foreign source income based on the location where the intellectual property is used, performed, or otherwise exploited. Users acknowledge that different tax obligations apply depending on income source and recipient status.

    (b) U.S. Source Income – Withholding Requirements

    For U.S. source royalty income distributed to users:

    • Foreign Recipients: The Cur8 Group Corp. is required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at statutory rates (currently 30%) unless a valid Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or other applicable form claiming a treaty benefit is provided. Withholding and reporting will be made on IRS Forms 1042 and 1042-S. If withholding has already been deposited with the IRS, The Cur8 Group Corp. shall have no obligation to refund amounts withheld; users may seek any refund or credit directly from the IRS.
    • U.S. Recipients: The Cur8 Group Corp. will issue IRS Form 1099-MISC for royalty payments of $10 or more annually. If a valid Form W-9 is not on file, The Cur8 Group Corp. may be required to impose backup withholding at the rate required by law (currently 24%) and remit such amounts to the IRS.

    (c) Foreign Source Income

    Foreign source royalty income is generally not subject to U.S. withholding tax obligations, regardless of recipient residency status. Users remain responsible for compliance with any non-U.S. tax obligations.

    (d) User Documentation Requirements

    Users must provide complete, accurate, and timely tax documentation, including:

    • U.S. Persons: A valid Form W-9 or equivalent taxpayer identification.
    • Foreign Persons: A valid Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or other applicable IRS form, including treaty claim documentation where relevant.
    • Updates: Prompt notification of any changes in tax residency, treaty eligibility, or other tax status.

    No royalty payments will be released until the required tax documentation has been received and validated.

    (e) User Tax Responsibilities

    Users are solely responsible for:

    • Determining their own tax obligations in all applicable jurisdictions;
    • Filing all required tax returns and paying any taxes owed;
    • Consulting qualified tax advisors regarding their specific circumstances; and
    • Complying with all applicable tax laws and reporting requirements.

    (f) The Cur8 Group Corp. Disclaimers

    The Cur8 Group Corp.:

    • Makes no representations or warranties regarding the tax consequences of royalty payments;
    • Does not provide tax advice or guarantee the accuracy of tax classifications;
    • May modify withholding and reporting procedures as necessary to comply with applicable law;
    • Reserves the right to request additional documentation or withhold payments until compliance is achieved; and
    • Shall not be liable for over-withholding or under-withholding where actions are taken in reliance on the documentation provided by users.
    In Plain English: We determine whether your royalty income comes from the U.S. or other countries based on where your music is actually used, which affects what tax rules apply. If your music earns money in the U.S., we usually have to hold back taxes before paying you - typically 30% for non-U.S. residents (unless you qualify for a lower rate with proper paperwork) or 24% for U.S. residents who don't provide tax information. If your music earns money outside the U.S., we typically don't need to hold back U.S. taxes. You must give us the right tax forms (W-9 for U.S. residents, W-8 forms for non-U.S. residents) before we can pay you any royalties, and let us know if your tax situation changes. You're responsible for figuring out what taxes you owe, filing your tax returns, and paying those taxes - we recommend talking to a tax professional. We don't give tax advice and can't guarantee we'll get everything perfect with taxes, but we'll do our best to follow the rules based on the information you give us.

    4. USER OBLIGATIONS AND PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES

    4.1 User Obligations

    You agree to:

    • Comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and acceptable use policies when using the Software;

    • Provide and maintain accurate tax documentation as required for compliance with applicable withholding and reporting obligations, including timely updates of any changes in tax residency, treaty eligibility, or taxpayer status.
    In Plain English: Follow the law and our policies, keep your account information up to date, keep private information about the software confidential, and protect your account details. You need to give us the right tax forms (like W-9 if you're in the U.S. or W-8 if you're not) and keep them updated. If your tax situation changes (like if you move to a different country), you have to tell us so we can handle taxes correctly. Let us know immediately if anything seems wrong.

    4.2 Prohibited Activities

    You agree not to:

    • Upload, post, or share any User Content that violates or infringes upon the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights of any third party;
    • Engage in any activity that could disrupt, damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Software's performance, integrity, or security, including through the use of malware, bots, or other harmful code;
    • Circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with any security-related features or technical measures implemented by The Cur8 Group Corp to protect the Software;
    • Use the Software to engage in any conduct that is unlawful, harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, or otherwise objectionable.
    • Disclose confidential information related to the Software;
    • Use the Software to harass, abuse, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the rights of others;
    • Impersonate any person or entity or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity.
    In Plain English: Don't share anything that's illegal or violates someone else's rights, don't do things that break the software, reveal any private information, don't try to break or bypass our security measures, don't pretend to be someone else, and don't harass other people.

    5.3 CreateBase Screening Rights

    CreateBase shall have no liability to you for any suspension of services, withholding of payments, or termination of this EULA taken in good faith pursuant to this Section, even if a subsequent determination establishes that no sanctions violation occurred. CreateBase's obligations under this EULA are at all times subject to applicable law, and nothing in this EULA shall require CreateBase to act in contravention of any directive, regulation, or requirement of any Sanctions Authority.

    6. CO-WRITING PROGRAM TERMS

    6.1 Program Participation

    CreateBase may, from time to time, offer co-writing programs, songwriting camps, international cohort sessions, and IP collaboration opportunities (collectively, the "Co-Writing Program") through the CreateBase platform. Participation in the Co-Writing Program is voluntary and subject to invitation or application at CreateBase's discretion. By participating in the Co-Writing Program, you agree to be bound by these Co-Writing Program Terms in addition to the remainder of this EULA. In the event of a conflict between these Co-Writing Program Terms and the remainder of this EULA, these Co-Writing Program Terms shall control with respect to Co-Writing Program activities.

    6.2 Definitions

    "Cohort" means a group of participating artists enrolled in a specific Co-Writing Program session or series, as described in the applicable Cohort Enrollment Terms.

    "Cohort Enrollment Terms" means the specific terms applicable to a particular Cohort, accepted by each participating Artist upon enrollment.

    "Collaboration" means any co-writing session, songwriting camp, IP development project, or other creative activity undertaken as part of a Co-Writing Program Cohort.

    "Collaboration Work" means any musical composition, sound recording, lyrical work, arrangement, or derivative work created during or as a direct result of a Collaboration, as documented in a Session Work Order.

    "Found Royalties" means, in the context of this Section 6, gross royalties collected by CreateBase on your behalf with respect to Collaboration Works, net of: (a) fees, commissions, or administrative charges retained by PROs, CMOs, DSPs, or other payors; and (b) any taxes withheld at source.

    "Moral Rights" means the rights of attribution, integrity, disclosure, and withdrawal (where recognized) and any analogous rights recognized under the laws of any jurisdiction worldwide, whether arising under statute, treaty, common law, or civil law tradition, including but not limited to: droit moral and droits moraux (France, Belgium, Switzerland, Quebec, and civil law jurisdictions generally); derechos morales (Colombia, Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Chile, and Latin American jurisdictions generally); rights under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (United Kingdom); Sections 57 and 57A of the Copyright Act 1957 (India); moral rights protections under Japanese copyright law; Article 6bis of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works; and any equivalent protections enacted by any jurisdiction now or in the future.

    6.3 Enrollment Requirements

    To participate in any Cohort, you must, prior to contributing to any Collaboration session:

    • (a) Hold an active CreateBase account with an accepted and current version of this EULA;
    • (b) Accept the Cohort Enrollment Terms for the applicable Cohort;
    • (c) Have no conflicting exclusivity, co-publishing, or administration agreements that would prohibit your participation or your grant of rights under this Section 6. You represent and warrant that this is true at the time of enrollment and remains true throughout your participation. If you become subject to any such agreement during your participation, you must notify CreateBase immediately at cowriting@createbase.com. You agree to indemnify CreateBase against any claims arising from a breach of this representation, including any third-party claims that CreateBase's registration or administration of a Collaboration Work infringes another party's exclusive rights; and
    • (d) Satisfy any additional eligibility requirements set out in the Cohort Enrollment Terms.

    No contribution to any Collaboration session is permitted without satisfying all enrollment requirements. If you contribute without satisfying these requirements, Section 6.9 (No Loose-End Contributions) applies.

    6.4 CreateBase Commission on Collaboration Works

    In consideration of CreateBase's administration, registration, and royalty collection services with respect to Collaboration Works, CreateBase shall retain:

    • (a) 25% of Found Royalties collected on Collaboration Works created through the Co-Writing Program (the "Co-Writing Commission"); and
    • (b) The remaining 75% of Found Royalties will be distributed to contributing artists in accordance with the applicable Split Sheet.

    The Co-Writing Commission applies in addition to any commissions or fees payable under any other agreement with CreateBase or its partner organizations, except that with respect to Found Royalties on Collaboration Works, the Co-Writing Commission replaces (and is not additive to) the administrative fee described in Section 3.1. No royalty dollar collected on a Collaboration Work is subject to both the Co-Writing Commission and the standard administrative fee. The Co-Writing Commission is deducted from Found Royalties before distribution and is not subject to recoupment. CreateBase will provide a transparent accounting statement with each distribution, setting out gross Found Royalties, the Co-Writing Commission deducted, and net amounts distributed.

    6.5 IP Ownership and License Grant

    6.5(a) Retained Ownership. You retain ownership of your creative contributions to any Collaboration Work in the proportion set out in the confirmed Split Sheet. Nothing in this Section 6 transfers ownership of your share of a Collaboration Work to CreateBase or any other party.

    6.5(b) Administrative License. By accepting these Co-Writing Program Terms and participating in a Cohort, you grant CreateBase a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license (subject to the Co-Writing Commission) to: (a) Register Collaboration Works with PROs, CMOs, and other collecting societies worldwide in accordance with the confirmed Split Sheet; (b) Collect, hold, and distribute Found Royalties on your behalf; (c) Include metadata relating to Collaboration Works in CreateBase's proprietary databases; (d) Represent you in negotiations with DSPs and sync licensees in accordance with Section 6.10; and (e) Take such other administrative steps as are reasonably necessary to protect and exploit your rights in Collaboration Works. This license is limited to the administration and royalty collection purposes set out above. It does not constitute a transfer of ownership, an exclusive publishing agreement, or any grant beyond those expressly stated.

    6.6 Moral Rights

    CreateBase acknowledges and respects your Moral Rights under all applicable laws in any jurisdiction worldwide, whether currently in force or enacted in the future. Nothing in this EULA constitutes a waiver, transfer, assignment, or limitation of your Moral Rights. Without limiting the foregoing: Right of attribution: CreateBase will ensure that you are properly credited as a contributor on all registrations, metadata, and public-facing materials relating to Collaboration Works to which you have contributed, in accordance with the confirmed Split Sheet. Right of integrity: CreateBase will not authorize any modification, distortion, or mutilation of a Collaboration Work that would prejudice your honor or reputation without your express written consent. Right of disclosure: Where applicable law recognizes a right to control the first publication or disclosure of a work, CreateBase will not publish or disclose a Collaboration Work without the consent of all contributing artists as reflected in the confirmed Split Sheet and Session Work Order. Right of withdrawal: Where applicable law recognizes a right to withdraw a work from circulation due to changed convictions or circumstances, CreateBase will cooperate in good faith with any such request, subject to the rights of co-contributors under the confirmed Split Sheet and any existing sync or commercial licenses. Moral Rights are personal to you and are not transferable. CreateBase does not claim, assert, or require the waiver of any Moral Rights as a condition of participation in the Co-Writing Program.

    6.7 Split Sheet Process

    Proposal: Following each Collaboration session, the session facilitator or CreateBase will circulate a proposed Split Sheet to all contributing artists. Review Period: Each contributor has five (5) business days to review the proposed Split Sheet and raise any objections. Confirmation: A Split Sheet becomes binding upon written confirmation by all contributing artists through the CreateBase platform. No Registration Pending Confirmation: CreateBase will not register, exploit, or seek sync placements for any Collaboration Work until all contributors have confirmed the Split Sheet. Disputes: If contributors cannot agree on splits within 30 days of the proposed Split Sheet being circulated, CreateBase may, at its discretion, facilitate mediation. Pending resolution, the Collaboration Work will not be registered or exploited. Finality: Once confirmed by all contributors, Split Sheets are binding and govern all registrations, distributions, and commercial exploitation. Split Sheets may only be amended with the written consent of all contributing artists.

    6.8 Pre-Existing Intellectual Property

    If you bring Pre-Existing IP into a Collaboration session, you must, before or at the time of the session: (a) Disclose the Pre-Existing IP in the Session Work Order; (b) Represent that you have the full right to use and license such material for the purposes of the Collaboration and that such use will not infringe the rights of any third party; and (c) Specify in the Session Work Order the terms under which the Pre-Existing IP is being contributed. You retain all rights in your Pre-Existing IP. Only the rights expressly documented in the Session Work Order are granted to the Collaboration. No broader license or transfer is implied.

    6.9 No Loose-End Contributions

    If you contribute to a Collaboration Work without satisfying the enrollment requirements in Section 6.3, CreateBase is not obligated to administer, register, collect, or distribute royalties for your contribution. You assume all risk of non-collection and non-administration resulting from your failure to enroll. If you believe you have contributed to a Collaboration Work but are not enrolled in the applicable Cohort, you must contact CreateBase at cowriting@createbase.com within 30 days of the session date to regularize your enrollment before the Split Sheet is confirmed.

    6.10 Sync and Commercial Licensing

    If you wish to authorize CreateBase to pursue sync licenses or commercial placements for a specific Collaboration Work, you and all co-contributors must execute a Sync & Licensing Authorization Addendum. Execution of a Session Work Order alone does not authorize CreateBase to pitch or negotiate sync placements on your behalf. All sync placements will be subject to the Moral Rights provisions in Section 6.6.

    6.11 Data Handling — Co-Writing Program

    The collection, processing, and storage of personal data in connection with the Co-Writing Program is governed by the CreateBase Privacy Policy and Section 7 of this EULA. By participating in the Co-Writing Program, you consent to the sharing of your name, IPI numbers, PRO registration data, and contribution information with: (a) co-contributors within your Cohort (limited to what is necessary for split determination and registration); (b) PROs, CMOs, and DSPs as necessary for registration and collection; and (c) partner organizations in accordance with applicable co-writing partnership agreements.

    6.12 Dispute Resolution — Co-Writing Program

    Disputes between you and CreateBase arising out of this Section 6 shall be resolved through the dispute resolution mechanism set out in Section 12. For the avoidance of doubt: artist-CreateBase disputes are governed by Section 12 (AAA arbitration); inter-artist disputes over split sheets are not disputes to which CreateBase is a party, and CreateBase will not register or exploit the Collaboration Work pending resolution of any such dispute.

    6.13 Term and Post-Termination — Co-Writing Program

    Your participation in the Co-Writing Program may be terminated by CreateBase at any time, with or without cause, upon written notice. If this EULA is terminated, your Co-Writing Program participation is automatically terminated simultaneously. Upon termination:

    • (a) The administrative license in Section 6.5(b) continues solely with respect to Collaboration Works created prior to termination, for the duration of copyright in those works, unless otherwise agreed in writing. This license is limited to the continued administration, registration, and collection of royalties for pre-termination Collaboration Works and does not extend to any new exploitation, sync licensing, or commercial placement initiated after the Tail Period without your written consent;
    • (b) The Co-Writing Commission on Found Royalties from pre-termination Collaboration Works continues for a period of twelve (12) months following termination (the "Tail Period"). After the Tail Period, CreateBase shall remit one hundred percent (100%) of any Found Royalties on Collaboration Works to you within thirty (30) days of receipt, consistent with the post-termination mechanics in Section 8.4. If you wish CreateBase to release administration of Collaboration Works back to you following the Tail Period, you may request this in writing; CreateBase will use reasonable efforts to effectuate such release within sixty (60) days;
    • (c) Your Moral Rights in all Collaboration Works survive termination; and
    • (d) Confirmed Split Sheets remain binding on all parties regardless of any individual contributor's termination.

    7. DATA PRIVACY AND SECURITY

    7.1 Privacy Policy

    Your use of the Software is also governed by our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which are incorporated by reference into this EULA. By using the Software, you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as outlined in the Privacy Policy.

    7.2 Data Security

    The Cur8 Group Corp. implements reasonable technical, administrative, and physical measures designed to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, and modification. However, no security measures are perfect, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

    In Plain English: We have a Privacy Policy that explains how we handle your data. We take reasonable steps to keep your data secure, but no security system is perfect.

    8. TERMINATION

    8.1 Termination by The Cur8 Group Corp.

    The Cur8 Group Corp. reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately suspend or terminate your access to the Software, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, with or without cause, including but not limited to your breach of this EULA. The Cur8 Group Corp. may also terminate this Agreement if required by law, or if continued provision of the Software becomes impractical or impossible.

    In Plain English: If you break the rules or if we need to for legal or practical reasons, we can stop you from continuing to use the software.

    8.2 Termination by User

    You may terminate this Agreement by providing thirty (30) days prior written notice to The Cur8 Group Corp. via email to legal@createbase.com. The termination shall become effective thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice. Termination will not relieve you of your obligations under this EULA, including the payment of any fees owed, if applicable. No refunds shall be issued for subscription fees, setup fees, or other amounts previously paid, regardless of the reason for termination or the remaining time in any subscription period.

    In Plain English: You can cancel at any time by giving us 30 days written notice. You won't get a refund for fees you've already paid.

    8.3 Effect of Termination

    Upon termination of this Agreement, all rights and licenses granted to you under this EULA will immediately cease. You must promptly delete and permanently erase all copies of the Software in your possession or control. Termination shall not affect any rights, obligations, or liabilities that accrued prior to such termination. You remain responsible for all tax obligations related to royalty payments accrued or received prior to termination, including any required filings or payments to tax authorities. The Cur8 Group Corp. shall have no obligation to refund any amounts already withheld and deposited with a tax authority.

    In Plain English: If this agreement ends, you lose your right to use the software and need to delete it from your devices. Any responsibilities you had before termination still apply.

    8.4 Post-Termination Commission Rights

    Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, The Cur8 Group Corp. shall retain the right to receive its administrative fee on any royalties collected within twelve (12) months following the effective date of termination that are attributable to collection efforts, claims, registrations, or Letters of Direction initiated or submitted during the term of this Agreement ("Trailing Royalties"). The Cur8 Group Corp. shall remit the balance of any such Trailing Royalties to you within thirty (30) days of receipt. After the twelve (12) month post-termination period, The Cur8 Group Corp. shall remit one hundred percent (100%) of any royalties received to you within thirty (30) days of receipt and shall use reasonable efforts to redirect payors to your designated recipient.

    In Plain English: If you stop using our service, we still get to keep our percentage on any royalties that come in during the next 12 months as a result of work we already did for you (like claims we filed or registrations we completed). After 12 months, we'll pass along 100% of anything we receive and work to redirect payments to you.

    8.5 LOD Revocation Process

    Upon termination, The Cur8 Group Corp. shall revoke any Letters of Direction within ten (10) business days following the effective date of termination and shall notify applicable collection organizations to redirect future payments to you. You agree to provide a valid payment address or designation for such redirection. The Cur8 Group Corp. shall not be liable for any delays in payment redirection caused by third-party organizations.

    In Plain English: After you cancel, we'll notify the royalty organizations to send future payments directly to you. You need to tell us where you want those payments sent. We're not responsible for delays caused by those organizations.

    8.6 Accounting Upon Termination

    Upon termination, The Cur8 Group Corp. shall provide an interim accounting statement within forty-five (45) days of the effective date of termination and a final accounting statement within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of the twelve (12) month post-termination period described in Section 8.4.

    In Plain English: After you cancel, we'll send you a summary of your royalties within 45 days, and a final statement after the 12-month trailing period ends.

    9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

    TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. THE CUR8 GROUP CORP., ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY. THE CUR8 GROUP CORP., DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

    In Plain English: We're providing the software as-is without any guarantees. Use it at your own risk. This one is especially important, so we put it in all-caps.

    10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

    TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE CUR8 GROUP CORP., ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS EULA OR YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE CUR8 GROUP CORP.'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID, IF ANY, FOR ACCESSING THE SOFTWARE DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

    In Plain English: If something goes wrong, we're not responsible for most types of damages. The most we'd owe you is the amount you paid to use the software in the last year.

    11. INDEMNIFICATION

    You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless The Cur8 Group Corp., its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your breach of this EULA, your violation of any applicable law or regulation, your User Content, or your use of the Software.

    In Plain English: If you do something that causes us to get sued or face other legal trouble, you agree to cover all the costs and damages.

    12. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

    12.1 Governing Law

    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California.

    In Plain English: If there's a disagreement about what this agreement means or how it should be enforced, Delaware's laws will be used to figure it out. You agree to bring any disputes to court in San Diego, California, rather than any other place.

    12.2 Dispute Resolution

    Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this EULA, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this Agreement to arbitrate, shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The place of arbitration shall be San Diego, California. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

    In Plain English: If we have a disagreement, it will be resolved through arbitration in San Diego, not in court.

    12.3 Waiver of Class Action

    You explicitly agree that all disputes will be resolved through individual arbitration and waive your right to a jury trial or to participate in a class-wide lawsuit; in cases where multiple users share a common cause of dispute, they agree to resolve their disputes separately from one another in a class, consolidated, or representative action.

    In Plain English: You agree to arbitration, instead of joining a class-action lawsuit (we put this in because class-action suits take a great deal of time and resources, which are especially taxing on small businesses like ours). Any disputes will be handled individually.

    13. MISCELLANEOUS

    13.1 Entire Agreement

    This EULA constitutes the entire agreement between you and The Cur8 Group Corp. concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals, or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter.

    In Plain English: This agreement is the full and final word on the terms between us regarding the software.

    13.2 Waiver

    No waiver of any term of this EULA shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and The Cur8 Group Corp.'s failure to assert any right or provision under this EULA shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

    In Plain English: If we don't enforce a part of this agreement right away, it doesn't mean we're giving up our rights to enforce it later.

    13.3 Severability

    If any provision of this EULA is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

    In Plain English: If one part of this agreement is found to be unenforceable, the rest of the agreement still applies.

    13.4 Assignment

    You may not assign or transfer this EULA or any rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of The Cur8 Group Corp. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer this EULA without such consent will be null and void. The Cur8 Group Corp. may freely assign or transfer this EULA without restriction.

    In Plain English: You can't transfer your rights or obligations under this agreement to someone else without our permission. We can transfer our rights and obligations without restriction.

    13.5 Amendments

    The Cur8 Group Corp. reserves the right to modify or amend this EULA at any time. For non-material changes, The Cur8 Group Corp. will make reasonable commercial efforts to inform users within a reasonable time frame, and your continued use of the Software following the posting of such changes constitutes acceptance. For material changes — including any modification to Section 5 (Sanctions and Export Control Compliance), Section 6 (Co-Writing Program Terms), or Section 8.4 (Post-Termination Commission Rights) — The Cur8 Group Corp. will provide no fewer than thirty (30) days' advance written notice and require affirmative re-acceptance through the Platform before such changes take effect. Changes to Section 3 (Fees and Payment), including any increase to administrative fee percentages, will take effect only at the start of the next subscription or annual term as set forth in Section 3.1. If you do not accept a material change, you may terminate this EULA under Section 8.2.

    In Plain English: We can update this agreement. For minor changes, we'll do our best to let you know and your continued use means you accept. For important changes to sanctions, the co-writing program, or post-termination rights, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice and you'll need to actively agree. Fee increases only ever take effect at the start of your next term, never mid-term. If you don't agree with any material change, you can cancel.

    13.6 Force Majeure

    The Cur8 Group Corp. shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this EULA arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss, or malfunctions of utilities, communications, or computer (software and hardware) services.

    In Plain English: If something big and unexpected happens that we can't control (like a natural disaster or war), we're not responsible for delays or failures in our service.

    13.7 Notices

    All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given under this EULA shall be in writing and sent to legal@createbase.com (or to such other email address as The Cur8 Group Corp. may designate by notice).

    In Plain English: If you need to send us any legal notices, here's how to do it.

    13.8 Relationship of the Parties

    Nothing contained in this EULA shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture, or other form of joint enterprise, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the parties, and neither party shall have authority to contract for or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever.

    In Plain English: We're not business partners or employers. We each handle our own responsibilities.

    13.9 Confidentiality

    "Confidential Information" is information which covers any non-public aspects of the Software. You agree to protect Confidential Information with at least reasonable care. You agree not to use or disclose Confidential Information outside the scope of the EULA. You may disclose Confidential Information if required by law, but must give prior notice to The Cur8 Group Corp.

    In Plain English: Don't disclose any information that isn't public. If you are required by law to disclose any private information, you have to notify us before you do that.

    13.10 Survival

    All provisions of this EULA which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, limitations of liability, Section 5 (Sanctions and Export Control Compliance), and Section 6.13 (Co-Writing Program post-termination obligations).

    In Plain English: Even after this agreement ends, some parts (like ownership rights, limitations of liability, and your sanctions compliance obligations) will still apply.

    By accessing, downloading, installing, or using the Software, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this EULA.
