THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MAVELY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT ON THE SERVICES, WHETHER PROVIDED OR OWNED BY MAVELY OR BY ANY THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, FREEDOM FROM COMPUTER VIRUS, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE IN TRADE, ALL OF WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. IN ADDITION, YOU ASSUME TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK FOR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND MAVELY DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT ANY OF THE SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH ANY OF THE SERVICES IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, AVAILABLE, CURRENT, FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS OR DEFECTS, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM MAVELY SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE HEREIN.

IN NO EVENT WHATSOEVER SHALL MAVELY, ITS AFFILIATES, OR SUPPLIERS, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS, OR REPRESENTATIVES, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF SALES, PROFIT, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR DOWNTIME, (ARISING UNDER TORT, CONTRACT, OR OTHER LAW) REGARDLESS OF SUCH PARTY’S NEGLIGENCE OR WHETHER SUCH PARTY KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE DOWNLOAD OF ANY MATERIALS IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES IS DONE AT YOUR DISCRETION AND RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE DOWNLOAD OR UPLOAD OF ANY MATERIAL. MAVELY NEITHER ASSUMES, NOR DOES IT AUTHORIZE ANY OTHER PERSON TO ASSUME ON ITS BEHALF, ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICES. IF, NOTWITHSTANDING THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS, MAVELY IS FOUND TO BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR IS IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OF ANY SERVICES, MAVELY’S LIABILITY SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (1) THE TOTAL OF ANY FEES PAID BY YOU TO MAVELY IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE DATE THE CLAIM IS ASSERTED FOR ANY OF THE SERVICES OR FEATURE RELEVANT TO THE CLAIM, OR (2) US$500.00.

THESE DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ARE MADE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Mavely, its affiliates, licensors and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the Services, including content you submit or make available through the Services, or your use of any information obtained through the Services.

Governing Law

No matter where you’re located, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will govern these Terms and the relationship between you and Mavely as if you signed these Terms in Massachusetts, without regard to Massachusetts state’s conflicts of laws rules. The parties agree to submit to the federal or state courts in Massachusetts for exclusive jurisdiction of any dispute arising out of or related to your use of the Services or your breach of these Terms.

Severability

If it turns out that any part of these Terms is invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that term will be deemed severable and limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary. The limitation or elimination of the term will not affect any other terms.

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Mavely and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written with respect to these Services. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

Force Majeure

We take our commitment to customers seriously, and we’ll do what we can for you. However, sometimes things may come up that are outside of our control. We will not be liable for any failure to perform any of our obligations stated in these Terms if the failure results from a cause beyond our reasonable control, including—without limitation—mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to our workforce), restraints or delays affecting carriers, or our inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials.

Assignment

You cannot assign, transfer or sublicense these Terms without first obtaining our consent. We may assign, transfer, or delegate any of our rights and obligations without consent. These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship, and neither party has any authority to bind the other in any respect.

Waiver

If we do not enforce any part of these Terms, it does not mean we give up the right to later enforce that or any other part of these Terms. In order for any waiver of compliance with these Terms to be binding, we must provide you with written notice of such waiver through one of our authorized representatives.

Release

You release Mavely and our successors from all losses, damages, rights, and demands and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death, and property damage, that are directly or indirectly related to or arise from your use of the Services (collectively, “Claims”). If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him would have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” This release does not apply to any Claims for unconscionable commercial practice by Mavely or fraud, deception, false, promise, misrepresentation or concealment, or suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Services.

Comments, Concerns and Complaints

All feedback, comments, requests for technical support and other communications relating to the Services should be directed to: hello@joinmavely.com

Partner Agreement

The term “Partner Agreement” collectively refers to the terms and conditions below and the Mavely Knowledge Base found here (“Knowledge Base”), in its current form and as may be amended in the future at Mavely’s discretion. You shall be referred to herein as “Partner” and/or “you” and you by using Mavely’s Services and the Software you agree to the terms and conditions of the Partner Agreement. Any promises, representations, offers, or other communications not expressly set forth in the Partner Agreement are of no force or effect. If you do not agree to the Partner Agreement, your sole recourse is to notify Mavely and cancel the Partner Agreement and stop using the Services. Failure to cancel constitutes your acceptance of the Partner Agreement. You must be in good standing, and not in violation of the Agreement, to be eligible for bonuses or commissions from Mavely. In the event of any conflict between the Terms of Use and the Partner Agreement, the Partner Agreement shall govern. Terms not defined in this Partner Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Terms of Use.

Amendments to the Agreement. Mavely reserves the right to amend the Partner Agreement and Mavely Compensation Plan at its reasonable discretion. Amendments shall be effective 30 days after publication, but amendments shall not apply retroactively to conduct that occurred prior to the effective date of the amendment. If you do not agree to any amendments, your sole recourse is to cancel the Partner Agreement.

Independent Contractor Status. Partners are independent contractors and not employees, partners, legal representatives, or franchisees of Mavely. Partners are solely responsible for paying all expenses they incur, including but not limited to travel, food, lodging, secretarial, office, long distance telephone and other business expenses. Partner SHALL NOT BE TREATED AS A MAVELY EMPLOYEE FOR FEDERAL OR STATE TAX PURPOSES. Mavely is not responsible for withholding and shall not withhold or deduct FICA, or taxes of any kind from Partners’ compensation. Partners are not entitled to worker’s compensation or unemployment security benefits of any kind from Mavely. In all written, graphic, or digital material used for Mavely business purposes, Partners must represent themselves as independent of Mavely. Partners shall not lead anyone to believe that they are employees of Mavely.

Intellectual Property.

Partner owns all of content uploaded to Mavely’s Site or creates as a part of Partner’s use of the Services (the “Content”). Partner represents, warrants and agrees that Partner is the exclusive owner of the Content and/or Partner has all rights, licenses, consents and releases necessary for the Content that Partner makes available on the Services, including the right to grant all of the rights and licenses in this Partner Agreement without Mavely incurring any third party obligations or liability arising out of its exercise of the rights thereto granted herein by Partner. Partner further represents, warrants and agrees that the Content does not infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s intellectual property rights, a third party’s rights of publicity or privacy, or any other law or regulation.

Partner grants to Mavely a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, host, store, transmit, reproduce, distribute, sublicense, modify, create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, archive, and otherwise use and exploit such Content, in whole or in part, in any manner, medium, or form, whether now known or hereinafter devised, as Mavely sees fit in its sole discretion, and includes without limitation use for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Services, including but not limited to updating or optimizing links and to train artificial intelligence models and algorithms. Without limiting the above, Partner grants to Mavely the right to syndicate the Content for any purpose, including without limitation the right to use such syndicated Content to promote the Mavely brand. Partner further grants to Mavely all rights necessary to facilitate Partner’s use of a third party’s site, app or services that require syndication or other use of your Content in connection with Mavely.

If Partner chooses to share Content through the Services in areas that others can view, copy, and use, then Partner does so at Partner’s own risk. MAVELY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE USE OR DISCLOSURE OF ANY INFORMATION, COMMUNICATION, OR CONTENT THAT PARTNER VOLUNTARILY SUBMITS THROUGH THE SERVICES, SITES, OR ANY OF THE APPS IN AREAS THAT OTHERS CAN VIEW, COPY AND USE.

Income Taxes/Tax ID Number/W-9 Form.

Partner is responsible for paying local, state and federal taxes on any income generated as an independent contractor.
In compliance with IRS regulations, if a Contractor earns $600 or more from Mavely within a calendar year, Mavely is required to issue a Form 1099-NEC. This form reports nonemployee compensation paid to Contractors for services rendered during the tax year.
Please reference the 1099 Reporting and Tax Policy for Creators for more information.

Assignment of Rights and Delegation of Duties. Partner may not assign any rights under the Partner Agreement or their Mavely Account without the prior written consent of Mavely. Any attempt to transfer or assign the Partner Agreement or Account without the express written consent of Mavely renders the Partner Agreement voidable at the option of Mavely and may result in termination of the Partner Agreement.

If the assets of Mavely, or a controlling ownership interest in Mavely, is transferred to a third party, Mavely may assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations under the Partner Agreement to such third party as part of the sale or transfer.

Waiver. Any waiver by either party of any breach of the Partner Agreement must be in writing and signed by an authorized agent of the party against which the waiver is asserted. Any waiver of a breach by a party shall be a one-time waiver only and shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

Waiver of Right of Publicity. Partner grants Mavely an irrevocable license to reproduce and use their name, photograph, video, personal story, testimonial, and/or likeness in its advertising or promotional materials, including but not limited to use in online forums. Partner waives all claims for remuneration for such use and all rights to inspect or approve all draft, beta, preliminary, and finished materials.

Minimum Age. Persons under age 18 may not be a Partner and no Partner shall knowingly recruit or sponsor, or attempt to recruit or sponsor, any person under age 18.

Severability. If any provision of the Partner Agreement, in its current form or as amended, is held void or unenforceable, only the void or unenforceable portion(s) of the provision shall be severed from the Partner Agreement and the remaining provisions shall remain in effect. The severed provision shall be reformed so that it is in compliance with the law and reflects the purpose of the original provision as closely as possible. The existence of any claim or cause of action of a Partner against Mavely shall not constitute a defense to Mavely’s enforcement of any term or provision of the Partner Agreement.

Term and Renewal of the Partner Agreement. The term of the Partner Agreement is one (1) year from the date of enrollment and shall automatically renew for additional one-year terms on each anniversary of the Partner Agreement unless either party notifies the other that it does not wish to renew the Partner Agreement.

Mavely reserves the right to terminate all Partner Agreements immediately if Mavely elects to: (1) cease business operations; (2) dissolve as a business entity; or (3) terminate distribution of its products and/or services via direct selling channels. Mavely also reserves the right to terminate any Partner Agreement without any notice for any reason pertaining to material breaches of the Partner Agreement or of any of the requirements and obligations set out in a third party’s/brands’ terms and conditions. If a Partner is found to be in violation, such Partner’s Account will be immediately suspended and no payments will be made to such Account. There is a zero tolerance for any infraction. Mavely also reserves the right to terminate Partner Accounts where Mavely reasonably believes the Account is not a valid Account (e.g., the Partner is misrepresenting themselves and how they are promoting online).

General Conduct

Partners shall safeguard and promote the good reputation of Mavely and its products and services and must avoid all illegal, deceptive, misleading, unethical or immoral conduct or practices. Partner agrees to exhibit high moral character in their personal and professional conduct. Partner shall not engage in any conduct that may damage Mavely’s goodwill or reputation. While it is impossible to specify all misconduct that would be contrary to this provision, and the following list is not a limitation on the standards of conduct to which Partner must adhere pursuant to this section, the following standards specifically apply to Partner’s activities:

Partner must adhere to advertisers’ terms and conditions as outlined with the brand details in the technology. Lack of adherence to the terms and conditions can result in the loss of commissions earned, and immediate termination from the Services. Mavely reserves the right to remove any Partner immediately, without warning, and without a detailed explanation for not following brand terms and conditions.
Impersonation of any individual or entity is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, using another person's name, username, branding image, likeness, or any other identifying information without their explicit consent. Such actions will result in immediate account termination and reversal of sales, or loss of commission.
Partner must not engage in any illegal, fraudulent, deceptive, or manipulative conduct in their business or their personal lives that, in Mavely’s sole discretion, could damage Mavely’s reputation or the culture that exists within the field sales force. Such actions will result in immediate account termination and reversal of sales, or loss of commission.
Deceptive conduct is always prohibited. Partner must ensure that their statements are truthful, fair, accurate, and not misleading. Partner must be posting as themselves, or the brand that is trademarked, representing a true person, and not posting under fake or misleading names.
If you are found to be linked with a removed user either directly or indirectly, you will be removed. No further explanation will be provided.
Mavely strictly prohibits the buying, selling, or trading of social media pages or groups from one creator to another. Such actions violate the spirit of the Mavely community, which is intended to foster genuine connections and interactions. Engaging in these activities can harm Mavely's reputation and lead to misuse of the Services, resulting in negative consequences for the user.
Inventory levels are not to be posted. Ex: 'Restocked, X amount available at this time.’ is prohibited and if found, sales will be reversed and Partner may lose commission.
Glitch Sales and Affiliate Link Usage
- While we recognize that some creators may use glitch sales to attract followers, we want to emphasize that using affiliate links in conjunction with glitch sales can be risky. Mavely strongly discourages the use of affiliate links for such offers, as doing so may attract unwanted attention from brands. Brands often do not approve of or compensate for sales originating from glitch offers. Additionally, orders resulting from glitch sales often go unfilled or are returned, further increasing the risk of non-payment for affiliate commissions.
- If Partner chooses to use affiliate links with glitch sales, Partner does so at their own risk. Mavely cannot guarantee any payment or commission for sales generated through such links, and we encourage Partner to be cautious when incorporating them into their Content. Additionally, Partner is fully responsible for ensuring their Content complies with the brands' terms and conditions and Mavely's guidelines.
- By using affiliate links with glitch sales, Partner acknowledges that they may not receive compensation for these sales and agree to take full responsibility for the potential consequences. Mavely reserves the right to suspend or terminate a creator’s account if these practices result in violations of brand agreements or Mavely’s terms.
FTC GUIDELINES - A clear and conspicuous disclosure suited to the online property on which the Partner is publishing MUST be incorporated into all posts such as #ad, #paid, or #sponsored.
- Such disclosure must comply with all applicable laws, including the FTC’s Endorsement and Testimonial Guidelines, included here for reference:
  - Disclosures 101 for Social Media Influencers (https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/plain-language/1001a-influencer-guide-508_1.pdf)
  - Endorsements, Influencers, and Reviews (https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/advertising-marketing/endorsements-influencers-reviews)
  - Disclosures 101 for Social Media Influencers (https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/disclosures-101-social-media-influencers)

If the Agreement is canceled for any reason, Partner must discontinue using the Mavely name, brand names and all other Mavely intellectual property, and all derivatives of such intellectual property, in postings on all social media, websites, or other promotional material.

In the event that Partner violates any law, rule, or regulation or if Partner’s conduct, in Mavely’s reasonable discretion, violates generally accepted standards of behavior such that public association with Partner would subject Mavely and/or its respective affiliates to the disfavor, contempt or ridicule of the general public, or would be detrimental to the reputation, business and/or sale of the products or services of Mavely, or their respective affiliates, or that is reasonably likely to insult or offend the community or any substantial group thereof, Mavely will be entitled to immediately terminate this Partner Agreement in its sole discretion with no further liability to Partner. Partner shall not publish or cause to be published any content that would disparage or cause harm to Mavely’s brands, image, or intellectual property.

Adjustment to Bonuses and Commissions. Compensation stemming from product sales is fully earned when the applicable return, repurchase, and chargeback periods applicable to product sales have all expired. If a product is returned to the seller for a refund or is repurchased by the seller, or if a customer charges back a purchase to their credit card, or the seller expects fraudulent purchases, the seller of the product will reverse the commissions paid to Mavely. In that event, the compensation attributable to the returned or repurchased product(s), fraudulent purchases, or customer charge backs will be recovered by Mavely from Partner who was paid commissions or bonuses on the original sales of such products. Such unearned compensation will be deducted from your account/ and or future payments if payment has already been made.

Returns, reversals, and/or cancellations will be applied in the month in which the refund is issued or the chargeback occurs and continuing every pay period thereafter until the commissions are fully recovered. Corrections may apply to future payments to partners as a result of our quick payment processing to partners.

Requests made six (6) months after a missed payment will be denied for reprocessing.
