Publisher shall be permitted to retain 20 percent (20%) of net receipts after the deduction of expenses of 25 percent (25%) on gross receipts. For the avoidance of doubt, the payments to you set forth above are inclusive of all right holder’s royalties, not including the “writer’s share” of public performance income which you shall receive from your designated performance society (the “pro”). In the event that any Contents are created in whole or in part by you, and you are not a member of the pro and elect not to affiliate with a pro during the term, then, subject to the rules and regulations of the pro, as between you and publisher, the publisher shall where possible have the right to collect and receive so-called “writer’s share” in addition to the so-called “publisher’s share” of performance income generated by the relevant Contents.

2.2 you shall receive statements as to your share of gross receipts, and such monies shall be credited to your DIVYA DRISHTI PLAYER OTT account within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter for each such preceding quarterly period. Once payment has been credited to your account, you will be able to withdraw all or a portion of the balance of your account, at your discretion. You will be responsible for any bank fees or other charges related to such withdrawals. Any objection relating to any accounting statement or any legal claims arising therefrom must be made (and any lawsuit commenced) no later than one (1) year after the date the statement is initially sent to you, and you waive any longer statute of limitations that may be permitted by law. No general objection, including, but not limited to, a general claim of over-reporting of deductions or underreporting of income, shall be deemed a valid objection. Similarly, in the event there is an over-reporting of income to you, or if you are paid any share of gross receipts from any third party that should have been paid to publisher hereunder, publisher shall have the right to deduct any overpayments, or publisher’s portion of any income that should have been paid to publisher, from any income otherwise payable to you, now or accruing in the future, from this agreement or under any other agreement between you and DIVYA DRISHTI PLAYER OTT. 

2.3 the gross receipts posted to your DIVYA DRISHTI PLAYER OTT account will be pooled in an interest-bearing bank account with the gross receipts of other DIVYA DRISHTI PLAYER OTT customers until you withdraw such funds. You agree that you will not receive interest or other earnings on the gross receipts that publisher handles as your agent and places in such pooled account. In consideration for your use of the publishing administration services, you irrevocably transfer and assign to publisher any ownership right that you may have in any interest that may accrue on gross receipts held in such pooled account. In addition to or instead of earning interest on such pooled account, publisher may receive a reduction in fees or expenses charged for banking services by the banks that hold your gross receipts.

2.4 in the event that publisher has, in its good faith discretion, reason to suspect that your account has been subjected to and/or involved in fraudulent or infringing activities, publisher reserves the right to discontinue the posting of gross receipts to your account and block your ability to otherwise withdraw funds therefrom until resolution of the suspect activities to the satisfaction of publisher is obtained. Furthermore, you agree that such revenues will be forfeited by you if publisher determines, in its good faith discretion, that they are the result of fraud and/or infringement. To the extent that any fraudulent and/or infringing activities are determined to be caused by your or your affiliates actions or omissions, any costs incurred by publisher (including legal fees and expenses) in connection therewith may, in addition to its other remedies, be deducted by publisher from any monies otherwise payable to you hereunder. Certain of publisher’s licensees may also have policies related to fraud and suspected fraudulent activities and you agree that it is your responsibility to investigate such policies and such policies shall be binding upon you hereunder.

2.5 in the event that publisher is presented with a claim of infringement of copyright, trademark, right of publicity or other intellectual property right, or failure to comply with any third party license requirement or any other claim which, if true, would constitute your breach of, or non-compliance with, any of your representations, warranties or agreements hereunder, you agree that publisher may freeze any and all revenues in your account that are received in connection with the disputed composition(s) or other materials submitted by you, and that such revenues will be forfeited by you if publisher determines, in its good faith discretion, they are the result of fraud and/or infringement. Furthermore, if in publisher’s reasonable business judgment, it elects to engage an attorney to review and/or respond to such claim, publisher shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to deduct from your account or charge any payment method (as defined in the core terms) a minimum of three hundred dollars (USD $300) to offset the costs of associated legal fees and expenses.

For the avoidance of doubt, if you or publisher terminates this agreement for any of the reasons set forth herein, you will not be entitled to a full or partial reimbursement of the set-up fee.  Furthermore, if for any reason you fail to make a payment or a payment is reversed hereunder via the payment method or any other method after agreeing to the terms, publisher will be entitled to recoup the set-up fee, by any means necessary, including the right to keep your account active and collect any resulting royalties until the set-up fee is fully recouped.  It is your responsibility to notify publisher if your payment method has changed by making the appropriate changes to your DIVYA DRISHTI PLAYER OTT  account settings. If you do not provide a valid payment method your service may be disconnected or interrupted at publisher’s sole discretion.

If publisher receives income that was earned after the post-term period from a collection society, licensee or any other entity due to their acts or omissions or your failure to update third parties of the expiration of this agreement, you acknowledge that publisher’s receipt will not be a violation of this agreement.
