Heylist reserves the right to change Subscription Fees or other applicable fees as may be described under Client’s Account or any applicable Campaign Brief or Program Agreement and institute new charges upon reasonable notice to Client.
c. Disputed Invoices or Charges.
If Client believes Heylist has charged or invoiced Client incorrectly, Client must contact Heylist no later than 30 days after having been charged by Heylist or receiving such invoice in which the error or problem first appeared in order to request an adjustment or credit. In the event of a dispute, Client will pay any undisputed amounts in accordance with the payment terms herein, and Client agrees to discuss the disputed amounts with Heylist in good faith in order to resolve the dispute as set out in these Terms of Service.
Client may not withhold or setoff any amounts due under these Terms of Service. Heylist reserves the right to suspend Client’s access to the Platform and any delivery of the Services until all due and undisputed amounts are paid in full. Any late payment will be increased by the costs of collection (if any) and will incur interest at the rate of two percent (2%) compounded monthly (26.82% annually), or the maximum legal rate (if less), plus all expenses of collection, until fully paid.
i. The Subscription Fees set out in these Terms of Service do not include applicable sales, use, gross receipts, value-added, GST or HST, personal property or other taxes.

ii. Client is responsible for determining whether any applicable income tax, goods and services tax or other taxes apply to any payments made by Client in connection with a Campaign and to collect, report, and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. If Client is required to charge or have tax withheld in respect of any fees associated with a Campaign, Client is solely responsible for doing so.
Any permitted suspension of the Platform or Services by Heylist pursuant to the terms of these Terms of Service will not excuse Client from Client’s obligation to make payments under these Terms of Service.
All amounts on the Platform are listed in U.S. dollars. Heylist is not responsible for changes in currency exchange rates or any processing fees charged by Heylist’s or Client’s payment processors.
Client agrees that Client will not take any action to circumvent any payment for the Platform or the Service to Heylist or otherwise avoid Subscription Fees, Creator Fees and any other applicable fees.
Client agrees that, for a period of 12 months after the date Client consents to a Campaign Brief or enters into a Program Agreement with Heylist, as applicable, Client will only use the Platform or Services as Client’s sole and exclusive method to communicate and engage with, or solicit engagements from, Creator(s) that Client has worked with directly or indirectly in respect of such Campaign Brief, such work to include, without limitation, sponsorships, marketing, promotional, or endorsement work.
Client agrees that Client will conduct all communications regarding a Campaign in the Platform provided for the Campaign, or to upload/transcribe all related communications, including written agreements and changes to a Campaign, Campaign Content, emails, telephone calls, and discussions regarding content requirements, through the Platform. This process is required to maintain an electronic record of all required elements of a Campaign.
Client also agrees to keep and maintain accurate and complete records related to a Campaign for at least two years following the completion of the Campaign. Heylist reserves the right to request these records and other relevant documentation, which Client agrees to provide to Heylist within 10 days of Heylist sending the request.
Client is responsible for maintaining copies of any records that Client is legally required to maintain under applicable laws, including record retention obligations under applicable taxation legislation. Heylist does not provide an archiving service. Once Client’s Account is terminated, Heylist may delete all of Client’s Member Content. Heylist only agrees that it will not intentionally delete Client’s Member Content prior to termination of Client’s Account, provided that Client’s Member Content otherwise complies with these Terms of Service. Heylist expressly disclaims all other obligations with respect to the preservation or storage of Client’s Member Content.
The Heylist website located at www.heylist.com contains a directory of Creator profiles. Information in the Creator profiles is provided by the Creator and from third party sources, such as certain social media platforms. Heylist does not verify the information in Creator profiles and does not represent or warrant that the information in these profiles is accurate.
The Platform may offer Client links to other sites on the Internet that are owned and operated by third parties and therefore not affiliated with Heylist. Please understand that such linked websites are independent from Heylist, and Heylist has no control over the content of such websites. Consequently, Heylist cannot be held liable for and makes no warranty or representation whatsoever as to the accuracy, timeliness and/or completeness of the information contained on such websites. Such websites may be governed by terms and conditions different from those applicable to Heylist’s Platform, and Heylist encourages Client to review the terms and privacy policies of those third parties before using their websites.
The links which Heylist might place on the Platform do not imply that Heylist sponsors, endorses or is affiliated or associated with, or has been legally authorized to use any trade-mark, trade name, service mark, design, logo, symbol or other copyrighted materials displayed on or accessible through such sites.
All capitalized terms not defined herein will have the meanings set forth in the Campaign Brief or Program Agreement, as applicable.
These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.
Notices to Client may be made via email or regular mail, or in cases of changes to these Terms of Service or to the Services offered through the Platform, by posting notices or links to such notices, or by posting an updated version of these Terms of Service on the Platform itself.
Heylist reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Platform and Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice. Heylist reserves the right to change these Terms of Service at any time and from time to time. Any new features that may be added to the Platform or Services from time to time will be subject to these Terms of Service, unless stated otherwise. Client is responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms of Service, including, without limitation, by checking the date of “Last Update” at the top of this document. Heylist may also, at Heylist’s option, choose to notify Client of such changes by e-mail or other means. If the modified Terms of Service are not acceptable to Client, Client’s only recourse is to stop using the Platform and Services. Client’s continued access to and use of the Platform or Services will constitute the Effective Date to such updated Terms of Service.
Neither party will have any liability for any failure or delay resulting from any event beyond the reasonable control of that party including, without limitation, fire, flood, storms, insurrection, war, terrorism, earthquake, power failure, civil unrest, explosion, embargo, or strike.
In the event of a conflict between a Campaign Brief or Program Agreement, as applicable, and the terms and conditions in these Terms of Service, the terms and conditions in the applicable Campaign Brief or Program Agreement will govern.
i. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, WHICH MAY INCLUDE THE PROVINCE OF QUÉBEC, any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of, relating to, or in respect of these Terms of Service, including their negotiation, validity, existence, breach, termination, construction or application, or the rights, duties or obligations of any party, or the rights, duties or obligations of any party derived from or associated with these Terms of Service (a “Dispute”), will be handled according to the provisions set out below.
ii. Initial Dispute Resolution. Heylist is available by email to address any concerns Client may have regarding Client’s use of the Platform. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. If Campaign Content is not posted within the terms of the Campaign or is deemed to not be consistent with Campaign Content agreed to by Client, Client can contact Heylist via email at support@heylist.com to submit a dispute. Heylist reserves the right, in Heylist’s sole discretion, to return any fees paid for the Campaign, less any applicable service fees and taxes, to Client. Client and Heylist will use best efforts to settle any Dispute directly through consultation and good faith negotiations, which will be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
iii. If Client and Heylist do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of 30 days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to the “Initial Dispute Resolution” section above then the Dispute will be referred to and determined by a single arbitrator in a final and binding arbitration administered under the rules of ADR Institute of Canada, Inc.’s Arbitration Rules. If Client and Heylist have not agreed upon the arbitrator within 14 days, Client and Heylist will ask the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. to appoint a single arbitrator. The seat of the arbitration will be the same as the provincial or territorial law governing these Terms of Service. The arbitration will be heard in the capital of the seat, unless Client and Heylist agree otherwise. The costs and expenses of the arbitrator will be shared equally between Client and Heylist. Client and Heylist have no right of appeal from any award of the Arbitrator, whether characterized as final, interim, interlocutory or partial. All Disputes referred to arbitration (including the scope of these Terms of Service to arbitrate, the law relating to the enforcement of these Terms of Service to arbitrate, any relevant limitation periods, the law governing the procedure of the arbitration, the law relating to available remedies, set-off claims and conflict of laws rules) will be governed by the law of the seat, and Client and Heylist hereby irrevocably consent to venue in the capital of the seat, and to the jurisdiction of competent courts in the capital of the seat for all litigation that may be brought, subject to the requirements for arbitration hereunder, with respect to the terms of, and the transactions and relationships contemplated by, these Terms of Service. Notwithstanding this provision, Client or Heylist may take such steps as are permitted or required to enforce an award made by an arbitrator. The existence of the arbitration and any element of the arbitration, including any award, will be confidential. The deemed undertaking rule will apply. No document or other evidence or information prepared for or produced by or on behalf of Client or Heylist will be disclosed to any non-party to the arbitration. Client agrees that Client will not contest venue, and Client waives any rights that Client may have to initiate, transfer, or change the venue of any litigation arising from or related to these Terms of Service.
iv. Class Action Waiver. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WHICH MAY INCLUDE THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC, Client and Heylist further agree that any lawsuit or arbitration will be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and Client and Heylist expressly waive the right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above will be deemed null and void in its entirety and Client and Heylist will be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
v. Exception — Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding Client and Heylist’s decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, Client or Heylist may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

The foregoing is provided for informational purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice. It is Creator’s sole and exclusive obligation to consult Creator’s own professional legal advisors, and ensure the compliance of all posts in the applicable jurisdiction(s). The foregoing Creator disclosure obligation is a mandatory and material term of all Collaboration Agreements.
i. The Platform and Services are owned and operated by Heylist Inc. Any and all content, data, graphics, photographs, images, audio, video, software, trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, trade dress, patents, copyrighted or copyrightable materials and other information (collectively, the “Content”) contained in or made available through the Platform and Services are proprietary to Heylist, its affiliates and/or third party licensors. The Content is protected by international copyright and trademark laws and is the confidential information of Heylist.
ii. Creator may download, print and reproduce the Content for Creator’s own informational purposes related to receipt of the Services during the term of the Terms of Service. Any other use of the Content in whole or in part, including but not limited to adapting, displaying, distributing, publishing, storing in a retrieval system, transmitting, converting, copying or issuing copies, lending or reproducing the Content in any other form or by any other means whatsoever, whether electronic or otherwise, and including making the same available to or via the internet or wireless technology or authorizing any of the foregoing without the prior written consent of Heylist, is strictly prohibited. To obtain written consent for such use, please contact Heylist at support@heylist.com. Creator agrees any use of the Content by Creator authorized by Heylist and the goodwill associated with such use will inure to Heylist’s benefit. Creator agrees and acknowledges that it will not acquire any interest in the Content or the goodwill associated with the Content by virtue of these Terms of Service or Creator’s use of the Content.
All right, title and interest, including without limitation, all intellectual property rights in, and to any Campaign Content, including all photographs, images, videos, audio, works of art, original writing, drawings, derivatives, compositions, creations and inventions developed by Creator will be owned exclusively by Creator, unless otherwise agreed to with Heylist pursuant to a Collaboration Agreement.
i. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to having performed its obligations required hereunder (including under any Collaboration Agreement), Creator will grant to Heylist, for sub-licensing to Client, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid up, worldwide right to use the Campaign Content for a period of one year following the posting date to the applicable social media channel(s), for the sole purpose of posting the content on social media channels that Client owns or controls and for which Client has not received any compensation or other incentive to post (i.e., an ad) (“Social Rights”). These Social Rights are limited to social media platforms, such as Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat. Heylist cannot sub-license Social Rights to Client to use Campaign Content for any other purpose. For greater certainty, Client does not have any right to use any Work Product that does not form part of Campaign Content.
ii. In addition to the Social Rights referred to above, Client can request non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide rights to use the Campaign Content on other digital marketing channels (“Digital Rights”), broadcasting channels (“Broadcasting Rights”) or non-digital marketing channels (“Offline Rights”), which may be detailed in the respective Collaboration Agreement and purchased from Creator through Heylist. Where a Campaign includes Creator content without Creator posting content to Creator’s social feeds (“Just Content”), Heylist will sub-license to Client the Just Content and Digital Rights for a period of six months following the content approval date in the respective Collaboration Agreement or Platform. Client may request and purchase additional Digital Rights from Creator through Heylist as indicated in the respective Collaboration Agreement.
iii. Upon request, extended licenses to use Campaign Content for other purposes, or an assignment of all of Creator’s rights, title and interest in Campaign Content, can be purchased by Client from Creator through Heylist (collectively, the “Extended Rights”).
iv. Without limiting the generality of anything in these Terms of Service, Creator hereby grants to Heylist and its affiliates, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, unrestricted, irrevocable and unlimited right and permission, but not the obligation, to utilize, distribute, publish, exhibit, digitize, broadcast, display, reproduce, prepare derivative works of, and otherwise exploit Campaign Content as it appears when posted, in any and all manner and media throughout the world and in perpetuity for uses deemed by Heylist or its affiliates in their sole discretion to be reasonable and prudent uses for the purpose of furthering its valid business objectives. Creator also hereby waives all moral rights in the Campaign Content. For greater certainty, this includes including the Campaign Content in a portfolio of work to market Heylist’s Platform and Services. Creator understands that any such content may be edited in the sole discretion of Heylist.
v. Creator further grants Heylist an exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid up, worldwide right to amplify or license any Campaign Content on any platform or service during and, subject to Creator’s consent, after the term of the respective Collaboration Agreement.
Creator hereby grants Heylist a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, and irrevocable right to use, reproduce, and communicate Creator’s name and trademark, and, if applicable, the name and trademark of Creator’s company or organization, as a Member of Heylist’s Platform or Services in any media whatsoever, including in Heylist’s marketing materials during and after the term of these Terms of Service.
Heylist respects copyright law and the intellectual property rights of others, and Heylist expects Heylist’s Members to do the same. Heylist will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law and are properly provided to Heylist. In appropriate circumstances, Heylist will terminate the accounts of Members who are repeated copyright infringers.
i. Heylist reserves the right to remove Member Content alleged to be infringing without prior notice, at Heylist’s sole discretion.
ii. If Creator believes that any of Creator’s Member Content was subsequently removed from the Platform, or to which access was disabled, or was improperly removed or disabled, please provide the following Counter-Notification to Heylist’s Copyright Agent (see 17 U.S.C. Section 512(g) for further detail): (A) Creator’s physical or electronic signature; (B) a description of the materials that have been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled; (C)a statement, under penalty of perjury, that Creator has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and (D)Creator’s name, address and telephone number, and a statement of Creator’s consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, and that Creator will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

Creator has the authority and right to enter into the Terms of Service and any Collaboration Agreement and has obtained all rights and waivers necessary to grant the rights, titles and interests granted thereunder; and

THE LAWS OF CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LEGAL WARRANTIES AND THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF REPRESENTATIONS MADE CONCERNING HEYLIST’S GOODS OR SERVICES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO CREATOR, SOME OR ALL OF THE BELOW EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO CREATOR AND CREATOR MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
CREATOR’S USE OF THE PLATFORM AND THE SERVICES IS ENTIRELY AT CREATOR’S OWN RISK. HEYLIST DOES NOT CONTROL THE CONTENT OF POSTINGS BY ITS MEMBERS. THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING THE CONTENT AND SERVICES PROVIDED HEREIN, IS BEING PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “WHERE IS” BASIS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
HEYLIST HAS NO CONTROL OVER AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE TRUTH OR ACCURACY OF CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTIONS CONTAINED IN A COLLABORATION AGREEMENT OR THAT CLIENT WILL APPROVE WORK PRODUCT FOR A CAMPAIGN, USE CREATOR’S CAMPAIGN CONTENT IN A CAMPAIGN, OR COMPLETE A CAMPAIGN.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEYLIST AND ITS AFFILIATES AND ANY OF THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, OR STATUTORY REGARDING THE PLATFORM, THE SERVICES, THE CAMPAIGNS, AND RELATED MATERIALS, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY AND CONDITIONS OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY AND NON-INTERFERENCE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR EQUIVALENTS UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION. HEYLIST AND ITS AFFILIATES AND ANY OF THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS, USEFULNESS OR QUALITY OF THE PLATFORM, THE SERVICES, OR THE POSTINGS OF ANY MEMBERS, INCLUDING CONTENT POSTED ON OR LINKED FROM THE PLATFORM OR THE SERVICES. HEYLIST AND ITS AFFILIATES AND ANY OF THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM IS SECURE, FREE FROM BUGS, VIRUSES, INTERRUPTION, ERRORS, THEFT OR DESTRUCTION OR THAT THE PLATFORM AND SERVICES WILL MEET CREATOR’S REQUIREMENTS. CREATOR ASSUMES ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH USING OR RELYING ON THE PLATFORM AND SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY LISTINGS BY MEMBERS.
THE LAWS OF CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY OR CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO CREATOR, SOME OR ALL OF THE BELOW EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO CREATOR, AND CREATOR MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE ENTIRE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF HEYLIST AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND ANY OF THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS, AND CREATOR’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, FOR ALL MATTERS OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE PLATFORM AND THE SERVICES WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FEES PAID TO CREATOR, IF APPLICABLE, FOR THE PLATFORM AND SERVICES IN THE PRECEDING SIX MONTHS.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEYLIST AND ITS AFFILIATES AND ANY OF THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT OF LOSS OF PROFITS, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO A COMPLETED OR NON-COMPLETED CAMPAIGN OR OTHER TRANSACTION BETWEEN MEMBERS OR ANY MISREPRESENTATION BY A MEMBER, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO A CAMPAIGN OR THE SUBJECT OF ANY TRANSACTION WITH A MEMBER. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF HEYLIST OR ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Creator agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Heylist, its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all losses, expenses, damages, claims, fines, penalties, costs and liabilities (including all legal and accounting fees), arising from or relating to (a) Creator’s use of the Platform and Services, including any obligations to pay in association with a Collaboration Agreement or other agreement, (b) any representation or misrepresentation by Creator in any content that Creator (or anyone acting in Creator’s Account or Agency Account which Creator owns) submits, posts, transmits or makes available on the Platform or through the Services, including with respect to information in Creator’s Member profile or Campaign, (c) Creator’s completion or failure to complete a Campaign with another Member, (d) any liability arising from the tax treatment of payments or any portion of such payments, (e) Creator’s dispute of any amounts owing in association with a Collaboration Agreement or other agreement, (f) Creator’s liability arising from violation of any law, including intellectual property laws, (g) any violation by Creator of these Terms of Service, and (h) Creator’s negligence or willful misconduct.
Creator agrees that, at Heylist’s option, Creator will conduct the defense of any such claim or action; provided that, notwithstanding Heylist’s election that Creator conduct the defense, (i) Heylist may nevertheless participate in such defense or settlement negotiations and pay its own costs associated therewith, and (ii) Creator will not enter into any settlement or other compromise without the prior written approval of Heylist (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld), unless such settlement or other compromise includes a full and unconditional release of the relevant parties from all liabilities and other obligations in respect of such claim or action.
No person or entity will be entitled to any form of equitable or implied indemnification at any time, except as provided by these Terms of Service.
The term of these Terms of Service will commence upon the Effective Date and will continue until Creator’s Account is closed either by Creator or by Heylist at Heylist’s sole discretion.
i. Account Closure. To close Creator’s Account, Creator must provide written notice to Heylist by sending an email to support@heylist.com. Accounts will be closed following 30 days’ notice with express written confirmation from Heylist provided that (i) all Campaigns associated with Creator’s Account have been satisfactorily completed; (ii) any disputes in which Creator has been involved have been satisfactorily settled; (iii) any payments owing by Creator have been paid; (iv) there are no outstanding funds associated with the Account; and (v) Creator has completed any other obligation associated with Creator’s use of the Services. Following Creator’s Account closure, Creator will still be bound by all provisions of these Terms of Service.
ii. Once Creator’s Account is terminated, Creator will no longer have access to any information within Creator’s Account.
iii. Termination of Collaboration Agreement. Heylist may terminate the Collaboration Agreement issued hereunder effective immediately upon written notice to Creator (“Termination Date”). In the event of any such termination hereunder, Heylist will pay to Creator all amounts due to Creator for Campaign Content completed up through the Termination Date, including without limitation the actual approved costs, expenses, and fees incurred by Creator on Heylist’s behalf prior to the Termination Date which cannot through Creator’s commercially reasonable efforts (at no expense to Creator) be reduced or cancelled. Creator will pay to Heylist any Creator Fees paid by Heylist to Creator in advance for Work Product or Campaign Content not completed by Creator to Heylist’s satisfaction by the Termination Date.
i. In consideration of the Work Product and Campaign Content described in a Collaboration Agreement, Heylist will pay to Creator the Creator Fees as provided in the Collaboration Agreement in accordance with the payment schedule set out in the Collaboration Agreement. Subject to payment of fees by Clients, Heylist will pay to Creator a mutually agreed proportional amount of the approved Campaign Content that was actually published, posted online, or in any other way made available to the public in accordance with the Collaboration Agreement.
ii. Creator Fees are payable on the 15th or last day of the month (“Payment Days”). Creator Fees are due and payable on the Payment Day that falls 30 days after the date upon which Creator performs the work associated with Creator Fees. For example, if Creator performs the work associated with Creator Fees on August 21, 2020, Creator will be paid on September 30, 2020. Payments to Creator will be made by the method identified by Creator in Creator’s Account. Creator is required to keep payment information accurate and up to date. Creator may request to expedite the payment of Creator Fees due and payable for an expedited fee of the payment amount by contacting providers@heylist.com.
Either Creator or Heylist may request changes to Creator Fees described in the Collaboration Agreement by providing a written request detailing the proposed changes to Creator Fees to the other party. Changes to Creator Fees will only be effective upon the written acceptance of both parties to the proposed changes to Creator Fees.
If Creator believes Heylist has paid Creator incorrectly, Creator must contact Heylist no later than 30 days after having been paid by Heylist or receiving such invoice in which the error or problem first appeared in order to request an adjustment or credit. In the event of a dispute, Creator agrees to discuss the disputed amounts with Heylist in good faith in order to resolve the dispute as set out in these Terms of Service.
i. For Canadian GST/HST registrants, the creator fees paid will be inclusive of 13% HST as Heylist Inc. is registered in the province of Ontario. Creators should include in their quoted prices the 13% sales tax that is payable to the Canada Revenue Agency.
ii. The Creator is responsible for reporting any payments received associated with a Campaign to the appropriate tax authorities. The Creator is solely responsible for any additional income taxes (gross receipts, use, value-added, state sales tax) that may apply to payments received by the Creator from a campaign.
Any permitted suspension of the Services by Heylist pursuant to the terms of these Terms of Service will not excuse Creator from Creator’s obligations under these Terms of Service.
All amounts on the Platform are listed in U.S. dollars. Heylist is not responsible for changes in currency exchange rates or any processing fees charged by Heylist’s or Creator’s payment processors, including PayPal or Creator’s bank.
i. Creator agrees that, for a period of 12 months after the date Creator enters into a Collaboration Agreement with Heylist, Creator will only use the Platform or Services as Creator’s sole and exclusive method to communicate and engage with, or request or accept engagements from, Client(s) that Creator has worked with directly or indirectly in respect of such Collaboration Agreement, such work to include, without limitation, sponsorships, marketing, promotional, or endorsement work.
ii. Creator agrees that Campaign Content will only be amplified or licensed exclusively through Heylist during and after the term of these Terms of Service. For greater clarity, Creator will permit the amplification or creator licensing of any Campaign Content only through Heylist, and not through any other platform or service, during and after the term of these Terms of Service.
Creator agrees that Creator will conduct all communications regarding a Campaign in the Platform provided for the Campaign, or to upload/transcribe all related communications, including written agreements and changes to a Campaign, Campaign Content, emails, telephone calls, and discussions regarding content requirements, through the Platform. This process is required to maintain an electronic record of all required elements of a Campaign.
Creator also agrees to keep and maintain accurate and complete records related to a Campaign for at least two years following the completion of the Campaign. Heylist reserves the right to request these records and other relevant documentation, which Creator agrees to provide to Heylist within 10 days of Heylist sending the request.
Creator is responsible for maintaining copies of any records that Creator is legally required to maintain under applicable laws, including record retention obligations under applicable taxation legislation. Heylist does not provide an archiving service. Once Creator’s Account is terminated, Heylist may delete all of Creator’s Member Content. Heylist only agrees that it will not intentionally delete Creator’s Member Content prior to termination of Creator’s Account, provided that Creator’s Member Content otherwise complies with these Terms of Service. Heylist expressly disclaims all other obligations with respect to the preservation or storage of Creator’s Member Content.
The Heylist website located at www.heylist.com contains a directory of Creator profiles. Information in Creator profiles is provided by Creator and from third party sources, such as certain social media platforms. Heylist does not verify the information in Creator profiles and does not represent or warrant that the information in these profiles is accurate.
a.
The Platform may offer Creator links to other sites on the Internet that are owned and operated by third parties and therefore not affiliated with Heylist. Please understand that such linked websites are independent from Heylist, and Heylist has no control over the content of such websites. Consequently, Heylist cannot be held liable for and makes no warranty or representation whatsoever as to the accuracy, timeliness and/or completeness of the information contained on such websites. Such websites may be governed by terms and conditions different from those applicable to Heylist’s Platform, and Heylist encourages Creator to review the terms and privacy policies of those third parties before using their websites.
b.
The links which Heylist might place on the Platform do not imply that Heylist sponsors, endorses or is affiliated or associated with, or has been legally authorized to use any trade-mark, trade name, service mark, design, logo, symbol or other copyrighted materials displayed on or accessible through such sites.
All capitalized terms not defined herein will have the meanings set forth in the Collaboration Agreement.
These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the Province of Québec, Canada and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.
Notices to Creator may be made via email or regular mail, or in cases of changes to these Terms of Service or to the Services offered through the Platform, by posting notices or links to such notices, or by posting an updated version of the Terms of Service on the Platform itself.
Heylist reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Platform and Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice. Heylist reserves the right to change these Terms of Service at any time and from time to time. Any new features that may be added to the Platform or Services from time to time will be subject to these Terms of Service, unless stated otherwise. Creator is responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms of Service, including, without limitation, by checking the date of “Last Update” at the top of this document. Heylist may also, at Heylist’s option, choose to notify Creator of such changes by e-mail or other means. If the modified Terms of Service are not acceptable to Creator, Creator’s only recourse is to stop using the Platform and Services. Creator’s continued access to and use of the Platform or Services will constitute the Effective Date to such updated Terms of Service.
Neither party will have any liability for any failure or delay resulting from any event beyond the reasonable control of that party including, without limitation, fire, flood, storms, insurrection, war, terrorism, earthquake, power failure, civil unrest, explosion, embargo, pandemic, or strike.
In the event of a conflict between the Collaboration Agreement and the terms and conditions in the Terms of Service, the terms and conditions in the Collaboration Agreement will govern.
i. The validity, interpretation, construction, and performance of these Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the province or territory in which Creator resides, without giving effect to its principles of conflict of laws. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, WHICH MAY INCLUDE THE PROVINCE OF QUÉBEC, any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of, relating to, or in respect of these Terms of Service, including their negotiation, validity, existence, breach, termination, construction or application, or the rights, duties or obligations of any party, or the rights, duties or obligations of any party derived from or associated with these Terms of Service (a “Dispute”), will be handled according to the provisions set out below.
ii. Initial Dispute Resolution. Heylist is available by email to address any concerns Creator may have regarding Creator’s use of the Platform. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. If Campaign Content is not approved within the terms of the Campaign or is deemed to not be consistent with Campaign Content agreed to by Creator, Creator can contact Heylist via email at support@heylist.com to submit a dispute. Heylist reserves the right, in Heylist’s sole discretion, to withhold any Creator Fees paid for the Campaign, less any applicable service fees and taxes, to Creator. Creator and Heylist will use best efforts to settle any Dispute directly through consultation and good faith negotiations, which will be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
iii. If Creator and Heylist do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of 30 days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to the “Initial Dispute Resolution” section above then the Dispute will be referred to and determined by a single arbitrator in a final and binding arbitration administered under the rules of ADR Institute of Canada, Inc.’s Arbitration Rules. If Creator and Heylist have not agreed upon the arbitrator within 14 days, Creator and Heylist will ask the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. to appoint a single arbitrator. The seat of the arbitration will be the same as the provincial or territorial law governing these Terms of Service. The arbitration will be heard in the capital of the seat, unless Creator and Heylist agree otherwise. The costs and expenses of the arbitrator will be shared equally between Creator and Heylist. Creator and Heylist have no right of appeal from any award of the Arbitrator, whether characterized as final, interim, interlocutory or partial. All Disputes referred to arbitration (including the scope of these Terms of Service to arbitrate, the law relating to the enforcement of these Terms of Service to arbitrate, any relevant limitation periods, the law governing the procedure of the arbitration, the law relating to available remedies, set-off claims and conflict of laws rules) will be governed by the law of the seat, and Creator and Heylist hereby irrevocably consent to venue in the capital of the seat, and to the jurisdiction of competent courts in the capital of the seat for all litigation that may be brought, subject to the requirements for arbitration hereunder, with respect to the terms of, and the transactions and relationships contemplated by, these Terms of Service. Notwithstanding this provision, Creator or Heylist may take such steps as are permitted or required to enforce an award made by an arbitrator. The existence of the arbitration and any element of the arbitration, including any award, will be confidential. The deemed undertaking rule will apply. No document or other evidence or information prepared for or produced by or on behalf of Creator or Heylist will be disclosed to any non-party to the arbitration. Creator agrees that Creator will not contest venue, and Creator waives any rights that Creator may have to initiate, transfer, or change the venue of any litigation arising from or related to these Terms of Service.
iv. Class Action Waiver. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WHICH MAY INCLUDE THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC, Creator and Heylist further agree that any lawsuit or arbitration will be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and Creator and Heylist expressly waive the right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above will be deemed null and void in its entirety and Creator and Heylist will be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
v. Exception — Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding Creator and Heylist’s decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, Creator or Heylist may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
It is the express wish of Creator and Heylist that these Terms of Service be drafted in English. Les Creator et Heylist aux présentes ont expressément demandé que ces modalites d’utilisation du Site Web soient rédigés en anglais.
