4. PURCHASING DIGITAL MEDIA

4.1. The Platform enables you to upload and sell Digital Media to Publishers. We cannot guarantee that any Digital Media uploaded and made available for purchase by you will be purchased by any Publisher at all, or for any particular price or within any particular timeframe.

4.2. You can choose whether to offer the Digital Media for sale:

(a) on a shared basis for a set fee;

(b) on an exclusive basis to a particular Publisher for a set fee; or

4.3. Where Digital Media is made available by you on an exclusive basis, the exclusivity period shall be 24 hours, unless a different period is offered by you when you make the Digital Media available for purchase, or unless a different period is agreed between the parties. At the end of the exclusivity period, you shall be entitled to make the Digital Media available for purchase on the Platform by other Publishers on a shared basis.

4.4. The Platform also enables you to respond to tasks broadcasted by Publishers in which they may request particular Digital Media for a specified price. You are entitled to offer Digital Media to that Publisher in response to their task. We cannot guarantee that a Publisher will purchase any Digital Media offered to that Publisher by you in response to a task. If your Digital Media is purchased by a Publisher in this way, the amount payable shall be calculated as set out in clauses 5.9 and 5.10.

4.5. Upon completing a Purchase on the Platform, you will receive a confirmation that the Purchase has been made. At this point, a legally binding contract is formed directly between you and the Publisher pursuant to any terms and conditions that the Publisher makes available to you through the Platform or otherwise. PressHop is not a party to such contract.

5. PRICE AND PAYMENT

5.1. You shall have sole discretion to set or change the prices of any Digital Media made available by you for purchase by a Publisher on the Platform. The price you set for Digital Media shall be the “Hopper Price”.

5.2. When you set the Hopper Price for your Digital Media, we will benchmark the Digital Media against similar Digital Media made available by other Users on the Platform to determine if the Digital Mediais likely to be purchased at the Hopper Price you have set and we may make recommendations to you to adjust the Hopper Price before we publish it. You shall be under no obligation to amend the Hopper Price and can opt to reject our recommendation.

5.3. The commission due to PressHop by you shall be the percentage of the Hopper Price as is communicated to you during the upload process (the “PressHop Commission”). The PressHop Commission deducted will differ depending on whether you are a using the Services in your capacity as a Business User or a Consumer. We shall make the applicable PressHop Commission known to you before you agree to make the Digital Media available for purchase.

5.4. We will add 25% to the Hopper Price when it is published on the Platform, (the “Published Price”). Publishers shall be invited to pay the Published Price for the Digital Media. Publishers shall negotiate the Published Price downwards. Such negotiation shall be managed by PressHop using the functionality available on the Platform. PressHop shall be entitled to accept any offer made by a Publisher for Digital Media where the offer is higher than the Hopper Price. The Purchase Price is the price paid by the Publisher for the Digital Media. If a Publisher offers a price which is below the Hopper Price the offer will be rejected and the Platform will invite the Publisher to purchase the Digital Media at the Hopper Price. Where the Purchase Price is higher than the Hopper Price, PressHop shall retain the mark-up.

5.5. Save for the circumstances outlined in clauses 5.6 and 5.7 below, you acknowledge that the amount that will be transferred to you for the Digital Media will be the Hopper Price, less the PressHop Commission, less any applicable third party service fee which will be as set out in the payment page on the Platform (for example, any charges made by our Payment Provider) (the “Hopper Payment”).

Scenario 1:

For example, if you set the Hopper Price for your Digital Media as £100, the PressHop Commission (for the purpose of this example, being 20% of the Hopper Price) shall be £20 for that Digital Media. PressHop shall deduct the PressHop Commission from the Hopper Price (£20), and then deduct any applicable third party fee (for the purpose of this example only, £2). Therefore, the Hopper Payment which shall be transferred to you will be £78:

(a) Hopper Price: £100

(b) Less PressHop Commission: £20 (being 20% of the Hopper Price)

(d) Hopper Payment: £78.

Scenario 2:

5.6. Where Digital Media has been made available for purchase by you but has not been purchased by a Publisher for more than 48 hours from the time it was uploaded by you, we may recommend that you discount the Hopper Price in order to encourage Publishers to purchase it. We shall seek your approval before applying any such discount. For example, we may recommend that you discount the Hopper Price (£100) by 50%, to reach the discounted hopper fee of £50 (the “Discounted Hopper Price”).

5.7. Where you have agreed to amend the Hopper Price to the Discounted Hopper Price, the Published Price and PressHop Commission shall be recalculated according to the Discounted Hopper Price:

(a) we shall add 25% to the Discounted Hopper Price and make the Digital Media available for purchase by a Publisher for that amount (the “Discounted Published Price”) of £62.50.

(b) We shall recalculate the PressHop Commission by reference to the Discounted Hopper Price (the “Discounted PressHop Commission”).

If the Discounted Hopper Price for the Digital Media is £50, the Discounted PressHop Commission (for the purpose of this example, being 20% of the Discounted Hopper Price) shall be £10 for that Digital Media. PressHop shall deduct the Discounted PressHop Commission (£10) from that Hopper Price (£50), and then deduct any applicable third party fee (for the purpose of this example only, £2). Therefore, the Hopper Payment which shall be transferred to you will be £38:

i. Discounted Hopper Price: £50

ii. Less Discounted PressHop Commission: £10 (being 20% of the Discounted Hopper Price)

iii. Less third party fees: £2

iv. Hopper Payment: £38.

5.8. Publishers shall be entitled to negotiate the Purchase Price for a discounted Digital Media on the same basis as set out in clause 5.4. Where the Purchase Price is higher than the Discounted Hopper Price, PressHop shall retain the mark-up.

Scenario 3:

5.9. Where your Digital Media has been made available for Purchase by a Publisher in response to a task they have broadcast, the Publisher will have set the price for the Digital Media when they broadcast the task. The price set by the Publisher will be the Purchase Price. PressHop will deduct 25% from that Purchase Price, to calculate the Hopper Price, PressHop will calculate the PressHop Commission by reference to that Hopper Price.

5.10. For example, if a Publisher broadcasts a task for Digital Media and sets the fee as £200, and you successfully sell your Digital Media to that Publisher in response to that task, the Purchase Price would be £200. PressHop will deduct 25% of the Purchase Price to calculate the Hopper Price, being £150 in this example. The PressHop Commission (for the purpose of this example, being 20% of the Hopper Price) shall be £30. The PressHop Commission shall be deducted from the Hopper Price (£120) and then any applicable third party fee (for the purpose of this example only, £2) will be deducted. Therefore, the Hopper Payment which will be transferred to you will be £118:

(a) Purchase Price: £200

(b) Less 25% to calculate the Hopper Price: £150

(d) Less third party fees: £2

(e) Hopper Payment: £118.

5.11. We shall use reasonable endeavours to transfer the Hopper Payment to you within 7 days of receipt of the payment of the applicable Purchase Price from the Publisher, but we shall not be liable for delays in payment caused as a result of delays by our Payment Provider.

5.12. We may change or add to our payment methods from time to time. Such changes or additions will be as set out in the payment page on the Platform.

5.13. You understand and accept that the PressHop Commission (or Discounted PressHop Commission as applicable) retained by us is in consideration for making the Services and Platform available to you and facilitating the sale of Digital Media to Publishers. The commission and any third-party payments made are therefore non-refundable in all circumstances.

5.14. Using the functionality available on the Platform, you are entitled to donate a percentage of the Hopper Payment to one of the charities listed on the Platform. Such percentage shall be as determined by you. The percentage of the Hopper Payment you have elected to donate to charity shall be donated before the remaining percentage of the Hopper Payment is transferred to you.

5.15. You hereby acknowledge that you are responsible for any tax liabilities or reporting obligations that may arise as a result of your activities on this Platform and you hereby release us from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such tax liabilities or reporting obligations.
