4. PAYMENT
4.1 Payment By Brands to Logie.
(a) Logie Fees. Brands shall pay Logie the fees and expenses specified on the Platform, payable for the Campaign Term (defined below) of each Campaign Order (“Logie Fees“). For clarity, Logie Fees include, but are not limited to, all amounts due and payable to Creators under a Campaign, commissions and fees payable for Logie’s services, any agreed promotional and advertising fees, and, if applicable, expense reimbursement for Logie’s shipment of product samples to Creators. Campaigns shall remain in effect for the duration set out on the Platform and for an additional forty-five (45) days after the Campaign’s termination (“Campaign Term“).
(b) Payment Terms. Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing between Brand and Logie: (i) all payments made by Brands under this Agreement are payable in in US dollars, non-refundable, and without any right of set-off or cancellation; and (ii) Logie Fees are payable in accordance with the following applicable payment method:
- (A) Payment Methods. If Brand elects to add funds to its Account, whether by credit card, ACH transfer, or other payment method accepted by the Platform, and use such funds to pay the Logie Fees due, Brand is responsible for ensuring such funds cover the Logie Fees due. If Brand’s Account does not have sufficient funds or Brand’s credit card or other payment method declines a charge for the Logie Fees due, Logie may suspend the provision of the Services to all of Brand’s Accounts until the Logie Fees due are paid in full. Brand is prohibited from creating new Accounts until the Logie Fees due are paid in full. More information on available payment methods and payment processing fees, where applicable, is available here https://logie.ai/payment-methods.
- (B) Invoicing. If Brand elects to receive invoices and Logie approves Brand for the same, then, except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Campaign Order, (i) invoices will be sent to Brand each month, via email to the email address(es) Brand designates in its Account and (ii) Brand will pay the Logie Fees due within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice. Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Campaign Order (or an invoice if Brand procures the Services without any applicable Campaign Order), the Logie Fees are payable in United States dollars. If Brand fails to pay the Logie Fees and remedy such failure within fifteen (15) days of the date Logie provides Brand with written notice of the same, then Logie may (i) assess, and Brand will pay, a late fee of the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowable by Law; and (ii) suspend the provision of the Services to all Brand accounts until the Logie Fees due are paid in full. Brand is prohibited from creating new accounts until the Logie Fees due are paid in full.
(c) Suspension. Logie reserves the right to temporarily suspend provision of the Platform: (a) if Brand’s payment of the Logie Fees is overdue, as more fully described in Section 4.1(b) (Payment Terms); (b) if Logie deems such suspension necessary as a result of User’s breach under Section 2.5 (Restrictions); (c) if Logie reasonably determines suspension is necessary to avoid material harm to Logie, to its other customers, or to the Platform, including if the Platform’s cloud infrastructure is experiencing denial of service attacks or other attacks or disruptions outside of Logie’s control, or (d) as required by Law or at the request of governmental entities.
(d) Purchase Orders. If a purchase order (or purchase order number) is required by Brand in order for an invoice to be paid, then Brand shall promptly provide such purchase order (or number) to Logie. Any terms or conditions (whether printed, hyperlinked, or otherwise) in a purchase order or related correspondence, which purport to modify or supplement this Agreement (or the corresponding Campaign Order), shall be void and of no effect.
(e) Payment Disputes. Brand will notify Logie in writing within sixty (60) days of the date Logie bills Brand for any Logie Fees that Brand wishes to dispute. Where Brand is disputing any Logie Fees, Brand must act reasonably and in good faith and will cooperate diligently with Logie to resolve the dispute. Logie will not charge Brand a late fee or suspend the provision of the Services for unpaid Logie Fees that are in dispute, unless Brand fails to cooperate diligently with Logie or Logie determines the dispute is not reasonable or brought in good faith by Brand.
4.2 Payment by Logie to Creators.
(a) Creator Commissions. Logie shall pay Creators the commissions and any applicable costs payable to them, as specified on the Platform for the Campaign Term of each Campaign Order, based on sales of the Brand’s products and/or services generated by Creator Content, after buyers click on the Creator’s Affiliate Link (“Commissions“). Creators shall not be eligible to receive Commissions if (i) the Commission has been obtained by fraudulent means, misuse of the Affiliate Link, or in violation of any Logie policies that we make available to Creators, or (ii) Creator has materially breached this Agreement.
(b) Reports. Logie will use commercially reasonable efforts to accurately and comprehensively track sales of a Brand’s products and/or services generated by Creator Content for the purposes of Logie’s internal tracking, and creating and distributing to Creator monthly reports itemizing the Commissions associated with each Brand payable to Creator for the previous month.
(c) Payment Terms. Logie will pay Commissions in US dollars approximately sixty (60) days following the end of each calendar month in which the Commission was earned by the method that Creator has selected. Creator may be permitted to elect to receive payment in a currency other than our default currency. If Creator chooses to do so, Creator agrees that the conversion rate will be determined in accordance with Logie’s operating standards. If Creator resides outside of the USA and requests payment from Logie, all international transfer and wire fees will be paid by Creator.
- (A) Option 1: Payment by Direct Deposit. Logie will directly deposit the commission income Creator earns into the bank account Creator designates once Creator has provided Logie with the name of Creator’s bank, the account number, the name of the primary account holder as it appears on the account, and other requested identifying information (such as the ABA, IBAN or BIC number, if applicable).
- (B) Option 2: Payment by Check. Logie will send Creator a check in the amount of the Commission Creator earns once Creator has provided Logie with a physical address. If Creator selects this option, Logie reserves the right to deduct a processing fee for each check Logie sends to Creator.
- (C) If Creator does not select or maintain valid information for a payment option, Logie may in its discretion pay Creator through another payment option or hold earned Commissions until Creator makes its selection or provides such information.
(d) Payment Disputes. Creator will notify Logie in writing within sixty (60) days of the date Logie pays Commissions to Creator that Creator wishes to dispute. Where Creator is disputing any Commissions, Creator must act reasonably and in good faith and will cooperate diligently with Logie to resolve the dispute.
4.3 Taxes.
(e) Brand Taxes. Amounts payable by Brands under this Agreement are exclusive of all applicable sales, use, consumption, VAT, GST, and other taxes, duties or governmental charges, except for taxes based upon Logie’s net income (“Taxes“). In the event that Brand is required by any Law applicable to it to withhold or deduct Taxes for any payment under this Agreement, then the amounts due to Logie shall be increased by the amount necessary so that Logie receives and retains, free from liability for any deduction or withholding, an amount equal to the amount it would have received had Brand not made any such withholding or deduction.
(f) Creator Taxes. Creators are responsible for determining and fulfilling their obligations under applicable Laws to report, collect, remit, or include in their price any applicable Taxes.
(g) Collection and Remittance by Logie. In jurisdictions where Logie facilitates the collection and/or remittance of Taxes on behalf of Creators, you instruct and authorize Logie to collect Taxes on your behalf, and/or to remit such Taxes to the relevant Tax authority. Any Taxes that are collected and/or remitted by Logie are identified to Creators on their transaction records, as applicable. Logie may seek additional amounts from Creators (including by deducting such amounts from future payouts) in the event that the Taxes collected and/or remitted are insufficient to fully discharge that Creators’ tax obligations, and you agree that Creator’s sole remedy for Taxes collected by Logie is a refund from the applicable Tax authority. You acknowledge and agree that we retain the right, with prior notice to affected Creators, to cease the collection and remittance of Taxes in any jurisdiction for any reason.
(h) Tax Information. In certain jurisdictions, Tax regulations may require that Logie collect and/or report Tax information about Creators, or withhold Taxes from payouts to Creators, or both. If Creators fail to provide Logie with documentation that Logie determines to be sufficient to support any such obligation to withhold Taxes from payouts to Creators, Logie may withhold payouts up to the amount as required by Law, until sufficient documentation is provided. Creators agree that Logie may issue on behalf of Creators invoices or similar documentation for VAT, sales tax, consumption or other Taxes for Creator’s services to facilitate accurate tax reporting by Creators, Brands and/or their Related Companies.

The Recipient shall use the Discloser’s Confidential Information solely for the purposes expressly permitted under this Agreement.
