FLATPYRAMID MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT

I. LICENSE GRANT FROM SELLER TO FLATPYRAMID.

For any Seller who provides FlatPyramid with any type of Content for free distribution or sale, the following terms apply:

Seller hereby grant to FlatPyramid and any of its web properties & portals, partners & affiliates and by the act of delivering content to FlatPyramid, grant a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to:

(a) reproduce, file convert, set prices for, sell, and distribute net proceeds from any sale, in whole or in part on my behalf; and to publicly perform, publicly display, digitally perform, or transmit for promotional and commercial purposes;

(b) publish, market, distribute, sell, translate, convert, transfer and sublicense, whether bundled or not bundled with other FlatPyramid products, web properties or services, all Licensed Products and Licensed Intellectual Property;

c) create and use samples of the Content solely for the purpose of demonstrating or promoting your products or services or those of FlatPyramid;

(d) create derivative works, convert or modify the Licensed Products;

(e) use any Licensed Intellectual Property incorporated in the Content in connection with Seller’s material; and

(f) use the name and likeness of any individuals or entities represented in the content only in connection with Seller’s material.

1. Ownership. You retain ownership of the copyrights and all other rights in your content, subject to the non-exclusive rights granted to FlatPyramid under this agreement. You are free to grant similar rights to others of the Licensed Products during and after the term of this agreement provided that such licenses do not conflict with the rights granted to FlatPyramid Hereunder.

2. Termination. The license grant contained in this agreement can be terminated using the guidelines in Section 8 (Termination Clause) above. FlatPyramid reserves the right, notwithstanding the guidelines in Section 8, to terminate this agreement at any time and without notice if any content submitted violates the representations and warranties of Section 2 (Representations and Warranties) above.

3. Modification and Determination of Content. FlatPyramid or Seller may modify, convert, translate or delete the Content submitted on FlatPyramid’s website as part of the general maintenance of such Seller’s account or for whatever reasons. In the event that Seller’s Content is removed from FlatPyramid’s websites/portals, FlatPyramid will not be responsible for removing Seller’s content on other websites placed there for sale or promotional purposes by FlatPyramid or its marketing/affiliate/promotional partners. FlatPyramid may categories Content that is submitted by Seller and make it available in additional file formats for sale on FlatPyramid’s website or on any of its web properties or external portals, partners & affiliates sites. In the event of an error in good faith with the handling, distribution, conversion, translation, sale or categorization of  Seller’s Licensed Products or Licensed Intellectual Property by FlatPyramid, Sellers sole and exclusive remedy will be for FlatPyramid to take all reasonable steps to promptly correct the error as soon as notified or become aware of the error.

4.  Royalty Payments and Commission.  Seller shall be entitled to receive a royalty payment equal to fifty five percent (55%) of the sales revenue of Sellers Licensed Products collected by FlatPyramid in the form of payments made by check/Paypal or any other method distributed at least as often as quarterly. FlatPyramid will be entitled to a commission in the amount of forty five percent (45%) which it will deduct upon receipt. FlatPyramid may at any time implement a program whereby the Seller receives greater or less than 55% in which case royalty payments will reflect those amounts. Seller hereby authorizes FlatPyramid to collect and distribute such royalties and commissions.

5. Chargeback. From time to time chargeback transactions occur by merchant credit card processing services or PayPal. FlatPyramid has no control over this occurrence that results in the reversal of moneys paid for a Sellers Licensed Products for whatever reason. In the event of a chargeback, FlatPyramid will attempt to contest these transactions with the Merchant Services or PayPal. FlatPyramid offers no guarantee that it will be successful. Seller’s account will be immediately adjusted with the chargeback reversal amount. In the event that Seller has already been paid a commission for Sellers Licensed Products involved in the chargeback transaction, then FlatPyramid shall request an immediate refund from the Seller for commissions paid or a debit will be levied on Sellers account and deducted from future commission payments due to Seller. If Seller terminates their account with FlatPyramid prior to their account becoming current or refunding the commissions paid, then FlatPyramid will be forced to use all necessary means to recover monies owed to FlatPyramid by Seller including collections and legal actions against the Seller.

6. Security.  Due to the ever changing nature of security protection on the internet, no one can completely secure data published online. Thus, it is not possible for FlatPyramid to fully guarantee protection of Seller’s content published on site from potential theft or hackers.  However, FlatPyramid takes this matter very seriously, and have put in place several countermeasures and security configurations to protect Seller’s content including 3D Models showcased in its WebGL 3D viewer/player. FlatPyramid will continue to try its very best to ensure that Seller’s content and data are secure. As part of its security effort FlatPyramid does not store credit card information of Sellers or Customers.

7. NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens) 3D Models. FlatPyramid has pioneered and is the first 3d model marketplace to integrate NFT technology. FlatPyramid shall generate and offer for sale an NFT 3D model version of Seller’s 3d models. The technology behind NFTs presents a very valuable characteristic as an asset class; verification of authenticity of each Seller’s 3d model. Each NFT contains data that differentiates it from any other NFT, and such data cannot be replicated. Therefore, replicating NFTs is fruitless because each NFT can be traced back to the original issuer using the blockchain.

FlatPyramid allows each Customer to have a unique copy of every NFT 3d model they purchase and download. Upon NFT 3d model purchase, an NFT is minted and the 3d model is attached with the NFT’s unique identifier.

Additional NFT based Royalty Payments and Commissions is now available to each Seller.

Seller shall be entitled to receive a royalty payment equal to fifty five percent (55%) of the sales revenue of Sellers NFT 3d model collected by FlatPyramid in the form of crypto payments made by USDC token (1USD =1USDC) or its equivalent in FlatPyramid’s native token (FP3D) or any other tokens or payment method distributed at least as often as Monthly. FlatPyramid will be entitled to a commission in the amount of forty five percent (45%) which it will deduct upon receipt.

II. LICENSE AGREEMENT BETWEEN SELLER AND CUSTOMER.

License and Rights Grant:

For any transmission of Content from a Seller to a Customer, whether the transmission was the result of a license or free download, the following terms apply unless more restrictive terms are specified in the text description of the Content:

1. Ownership. Unless explicitly provided for by a separate agreement, the Seller retains, subject to any license agreement between the Seller and FlatPyramid, copyright in content purchased or downloaded by any 3rd party via Flat Pyramid.

2. Valid License. Any license rights relating to content for sale via FlatPyramid are contingent upon the transfer of money from the 3rd party to the Seller. All license rights terminate immediately and without notice if a sale is reversed for any reason.

3. Rights Granted. The Seller grants a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free license to the 3rd party who either purchases license rights to content via a valid sale, or downloads freely available content submitted by the Seller. The license granted will allow the 3rd party to: publicly perform, publicly display, and digitally perform said Content.

4. Rights Not Granted. Absent a written grant of rights greater than that contained in paragraph 3 above, all other rights or sub-divisions of rights generally included in copyrights and trademarks are excluded from this license.

5. Resale. The resale or redistribution by the third party of any content obtained from FlatPyramid, whether for sale or freely available for download, whether part of a valid sale or not, is expressly prohibited.

6. Returned Content. In the event a 3rd party returns any content, whether acquired by valid sale or freely available for download, all license rights granted herein terminate and the 3rd party must immediately destroy any and all copies contained on any type of media under the control or possession of the 3rd party.

7. NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens) 3D Models. FlatPyramid allows each Customer to have a unique copy of every NFT 3d model they purchase and download. Upon NFT 3d model purchase, an NFT is minted and the 3d model is attached with the NFT’s unique identifier. Customer shall own the unique NFT created but not the original copyright of the 3d model. When a Customer buys an NFT 3d model they do not purchase the copyright to the downloadable 3d model files in most cases, which means the NFT creator can still do what they please with their digital asset. Additionally, it does not grant Customers exclusive access to the 3d model and digital assets.

FlatPyramid is powered by its native token, FP3D, and Customers will receive a 20% discount when they purchase an NFT 3D model using the FP3D token. All sales are final and NFTs purchased can’t be returned.

FlatPyramid host NFTs on two separate blockchains for the ease of its Customers as follows:

  1. Ethereum Blockchain
  2. Binance Smart Chain

Additional blockchains and or Layer 2 solutions may be added in the future.

III. EDITORIAL USAGE

Content published and tagged with the Editorial label may only be used in an editorial manner, relating to events that are newsworthy or of public interest, and may not be used for any commercial, promotional, advertising or merchandising use. The intellectual property depicted in the 3d model, including the brand “Brand Name”, is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original rights holders. The 3d model products may not be used on any item/product for re-sale, such as a video game or t-shirt.  The 3d model product may not be used as part of billboard, trade show or exhibit display. Also they may not be used in any defamatory, libelous or otherwise unlawful manner whether directly or in context or juxtaposition with specific subject matter. The material may not be incorporated into a logo, trademark or service mark. For example, you can’t use Editorial content to create a logo design. Also, the material may not be used for any commercial, non-news related purpose.

However, in certain very limited instances, you may otherwise have the rights to IP in content that is labeled Editorial. For instance, you may be the advertising agency for a brand/IP owner or you may be the brand/IP owner itself purchasing content. If that is the case, you may use the Editorial content commercially, assuming you have the rights clearance through other means. But, you must have all the intellectual property rights necessary from the IP in the content and this is usually only the case for a brand/IP owner vendor or for a brand/IP owner itself. As a rule of thumb, if you wonder if you have these rights, you don’t. It is usually very clearly set forth in a contract. The burden and risk of confirming these rights is on each user individually if they move away from the Editorial Use restrictions.
