Subscription Terms
Different levels of Service are offered depending on whether you are a Juice Club member or not, as further described on the Creative Juice website.
MEMBERSHIP
Memberships are available on a monthly or annual subscription basis (“Subscription Period”), subject to a monthly or annual recurring fee (“Subscription Fee”). Subscription Fees are charged in advance of a Subscription Period. We may change the Subscription Fee at any time and will notify you by email, or other reasonable manner, at least 15 days before the change. If you do not agree to the change in Subscription Fee, you must cancel at least 3 days before the next Subscription Period in which the change will take effect.
You acknowledge and agree that Memberships are a recurring service that automatically renew at the end of each Subscription Period, and will continue to renew until you cancel. At the end of your Subscription Period, we will automatically renew your Membership for the same Subscription Period, at the then-effective Subscription Fee. To avoid renewal of your Membership and payment of future Subscription Fees, you must cancel your Membership as directed in these payment terms.
Unless otherwise required by law, all Subscription Fees are final and non-refundable.
PAYMENT METHOD
You must provide a payment method at the time you sign up for a Membership or agree to pay the Subscription Fee through other means that we may make available to you. By providing Creative Juice with a payment method, you (1) represent that you are authorized to use such payment method and that the payment information you provided is true and accurate; (2) authorize Creative Juice to automatically charge your payment method at the beginning of each Subscription Period, for the Subscription Fee that you agreed to when you signed up for the Membership (subject to any changes to the Subscription Fee), and (3) acknowledge that we will continue to charge your payment method each Subscription Period until you cancel. If we receive updated information for your payment method from your card issuer or the card network (such as the card number or expiration date), you authorize us to update your payment method with such updated information and charge your updated payment method in accordance with these subscription terms.
CANCELLATION, TERMINATION
You may cancel a Membership at any time. However, you must cancel at least 3 days before the next Subscription Period renews, in order to avoid being charged another Subscription Fee. If you cancel, you will continue to have access to the Services through the end of your current Subscription Period. At the end of your Subscription Period, we will not renew your Membership and you will have access to the Services as a non-member only.
If you cancel your Membership you will not receive a refund of any Subscription Fees paid (partial or otherwise), including for the current Subscription Period. We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund or credit, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future.
We may terminate your Membership if you are in breach of this Agreement, including these subscription terms, such as if we do not receive payment of your Subscription Fee in full and on time. If we terminate your Membership due to your breach, you will not receive a refund of any Subscription Fee and you will immediately lose access to the Services, even if your Subscription Period has not yet ended. If we allow you to continue using the Services after we terminate your Membership, you will be given access to the Services as a non-member only. This paragraph does not limit our right to suspend or terminate your User Account, or this Agreement with you, as described elsewhere in this Agreement.

2. THIRD PARTY SERVICES
When you apply, register, enroll or otherwise use a Third Party Service, you agree to the following additional terms and conditions governing such Third Party Service as provided through the Platform.
Payment Processing Services
The Platform allows you to accept payments for the sale and purchase of your goods or services (“Transactions”) through the Platform (“Payment Processing Services”). The Payment Processing Services are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By electing to use the Payment Processing Services, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. You use of the Payment Processing Services may be subject to an additional fee that Stripe charges for each transaction processed by the Payment Processing Services. The amount of the fee will be disclosed to you when you sign up for the Payment Processing Services. Stripe reserves the right to revise this fee from time to time.
As a condition of using the Payment Processing Services through Stripe, you agree to provide Creative Juice accurate and complete information about you and your business, and authorize Creative Juice to share such information, and any transaction information related to your use of the Payment Processing Services, with Stripe, in connection with Stripe’s provision of the Payment Processing Services as further set forth in the Stripe Services Agreement.
Creative Juice makes the Payment Processing Services available on the Platform solely as a technology platform, and is not a bank, money services business or money transmitter with respect to the Payment Processing Services. Payment processing and settlement activities are performed solely by Stripe pursuant to the Stripe Services Agreement. You are solely responsible for your compliance with the Stripe Services Agreement, including the Stripe Restricted Businesses Policy.
Transactions processed through the Payment Processing Services are between you and your customers. You are solely responsible for all aspects of your Transactions, including pricing, taxes, refunds, chargebacks, infringement claims, product warranties, or customer disputes. Creative Juice disclaims any and all responsibility for your Transactions, and you agree that you will not seek to hold Creative Juice liable for any loss, claim or expenses related to or arising from your Transactions.
Without limiting your general indemnification obligations under Section 1 of these Terms of Service, you agree to reimburse, indemnify, defend and hold Creative Juice, and its respective officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates, employees, agents, representatives and attorneys harmless from any liability, loss, claim and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) related to your use of the Payment Processing Services, your Transactions (including for any chargebacks, refunds, or other amounts owed to Creative Juice, your customers or Stripe arising from your Transactions), or your violation of the Stripe Services Agreement (including fines and other penalties imposed by Stripe or a payment network like Visa or Mastercard). Without limiting any of Creative Juice’s rights against you, whether under these Terms of Service or applicable law, you agree and authorize Creative Juice to collect the foregoing amounts, if any, by withholding such amounts from any settlement funds owed to you through the Payment Processing Services or as a setoff from any amounts that Creative Juice may owe you under any other Service.
Your eligibility to use the Payment Processing Services are subject to Stripe’s review and approval. In addition to any rights that Stripe may have under the Stripe Services Agreement, including its right to deny, restrict, suspend or terminate your use of the Payment Processing Service, Creative Juice reserves the right to determine, for any reason and in its sole discretion, whether and how to make the Payment Processing Services available to you, including to deny, restrict, suspend or terminate your use of the Payment Processing Services, to modify the Payment Processing Services, to impose additional conditions on your use of the Payment Processing Services, or to cease making the Payment Processing Services available on the Platform.
Tax Form Service
If you use the Platform to make payments to vendors, contractors or other persons that provide you with goods or services (“Payees”), you can use the electronic tax form service provided by Track Technologies, Inc. dba Abound (“Abound”), which will make it easier to create, issue and file W-9s and 1099s (collectively, the “Tax Forms”) with respect to your Payees (the “Tax Form Service”). BY USING THE TAX FORM SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO THESE TAX FORM SERVICE TERMS AND AUTHORIZE CREATIVE JUICE TO SHARE WITH ABOUND INFORMATION ABOUT YOU AND YOUR TRANSACTIONS AS NECESSARY FOR ABOUND TO GENERATE AND FILE THE TAX FORMS WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PAYEES, AND FOR ABOUND TO STORE AND PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ABOUND PRIVACY POLICY.
The Tax Form Service shall be deemed a Service for purposes of these Terms of Service; however, Creative Juice does not provide and is otherwise not responsible for the Tax Form Services. Abound, not Creative Juice, is responsible for providing tax or financial related services relating to the Tax Form Services, which are for informational purposes only and provided to you and your Payees AS IS and without warranty or guarantee. Consult a tax or legal professional or provider before using the Tax Form Service.
A Payee must first agree to provide its information to Abound. If they do not agree, you will not be able to rely on the Tax Form Service to create, issue and file Tax Forms for that Payee and you will be responsible for creating, issuing and filing those forms on your own.
Abound will generate a W-9 Form based on information provided by your Payee through the Tax Form Service. At the end of the year, Abound will generate a 1099 Form based on all payments that you sent that year to your Payee through the Platform. Creative Juice and Abound will not be aware of any payments you made to your Payee outside of the Platform, and such payments will not be included in the 1099 Form. You are responsible for creating, issuing and filing any additional 1099 Forms to Payees to whom you made a payment outside of the Platform. Neither Creative Juice nor Abound make any representations or warranties regarding the truth or accuracy of any information provided by your Payee through the Tax Form Service or any resulting W-9 Form or 1099 Form.
You will have access to your Payee’s Tax Forms as generated by the Tax Form Service. You agree to only use such Tax Forms for lawful tax-related purposes only and for no other purpose. You promise to maintain your Payee’s Tax Forms in confidence.
Creative Juice reserves the right to terminate the availability of the Tax Form Service through the Platform at any time. If this happens, you will be responsible for creating and filing the Tax Forms on your own.
