MEMBERS acknowledge that they alone assume the risk when choosing to purchase Content that is only accessible through the GC Platform.

UPLOADER is responsible for ensuring that GC has the appropriate information and contact details to be able to remit and send the balance to UPLOADER by bank wire transfer. Should the payout be reversed or fails, GC will keep the balance for three (1) years following the closure of that account, unless required to do otherwise by law. Unless prohibited by applicable law, UPLOADER will be deemed to have expressly and irrevocably waived and renounced the balance owed by GC to UPLOADER three (1) years after the closing date of said account.

4.15 Contests. Although contests may be accessible worldwide through GC or the Platform, not all features, products or services discussed, referenced, provided or offered through or in GC contests are available to all persons or in all geographic locations, or appropriate or available for use in all locations. If you choose to participate in any GC contest, you do so on your own initiative and you are solely responsible for complying with applicable local laws. Any GC contest offer shall be deemed void where prohibited. Entries to GC contests may be subject to moderation, screening and GC's Content Rules, and GC reserves the right to refuse or reject your participation in such GC contest if GC determines at any time, in its sole discretion, that you are infringing, circuGCenting or otherwise not complying with any GC contest guideline or Platform Rule.

You agree to indemnify and hold GC harmless from any liability that may arise from someone viewing your Content. We will promptly notify you of any such claim or suit, as the case may be, and we may decide, at our sole discretion, to cooperate (at your expense) in the defence of such claim or suit.

10.1 Inbound External Links. Subject to these TOS, UPLOADERS may provide external hyperlinks inbound to the Platform to promote their Content, including without limitation, ads or promotions, to other sites or platforms operated by third parties, provided that these sites or platforms have terms of services that are generally similar to the present TOS and do not promote, advertise, or facilitate prostitution in any manner.

10.2 Outbound External Links. Subject to these TOS, UPLOADERS shall not provide or mention external hyperlinks outbound from the Platform in their Content, profile, or otherwise to the Platform, including but not limited to any comments or messages, social posts, GC Live, or Content titles or descriptions, unless expressly permitted. For clarity, UPLOADERS may provide or mention external hyperlinks to expressly permitted social media websites or hyperlinks on the Platform.

GC reserves the right to immediately terminate your account should GC suspect non-compliance with the foregoing Section 10. GC has no control over external websites and is not responsible for their content, privacy policies, or for the collection, use, or disclosure of any information that those sites may collect.

11. GC Ads

11.1 GC Ads. GC offers the option for UPLOADER to purchase advertising space on GC to promote UPLOADER Content and profile visibility to Members on GC’s popular page here (“Ad Space”). UPLOADER acknowledges that the precise number of views and traffic as a result, during a purchased Advertising Period (as defined below), may vary based on the total number of ads purchased for that period. Ad visibility will be allocated equally between all ads purchased for a specific Advertising Period.

Ad Space shall only be used to advertise internally within GC, meaning it may not be used to advertise or promote third party items or services; this exclusion includes external links and UPLOADER’s accounts on Third-Party Sites (as defined in Section 3.7).

11.2 Ads. Ad Space shall only be used to advertise Content that is already uploaded to the UPLOADER’s profile. Members that have identified:

  • a “Straight” preference for their profile will only see ads from the “Default/Straight” category;

  • a “Gay” preference for their profile will only see ads from the “Gay” category;

  • a “Trans” preference for their profile will only see ads from the “Trans” category; and

  • an “All” preference for their profile will see an equal distribution of ads from all categories.

    The ad category deemed applicable to the Member will rotate equally between the ads purchased for the Advertising Period.

11.3 Ads Approval Requirement. All potential advertising Content shall be subject to screening and moderation and must first be approved by the GC Support Team. The approval process may take up to three (3) business days. GC reserves the right to reject ads that do not comply with the TOS herein or the Platform Rules.

Ads advertised on GC are subject to the same Terms of Service applicable to Content and must comply with the Platform Rules. Ads found to be in violation or breach of any of the TOS or Platform Rules that apply to Content will be subject to the same consequences.

11.4 Advertising Period. Ad Space is purchased as a twenty-four (24) hour block (the “Advertising Period”) and may be purchased up to one (1) month in advance of the desired Advertising Period. Advertising Periods begin at 12:00 A.M. and end at 11:59 P.M. UTC and Ad Space may be purchased up to three (3) business days prior to commencement of an Advertising Period. UPLOADER acknowledges that GC reserves the right to reject requests for Ad Space if GC determines, in its sole discretion, that an UPLOADER has purchased an excessive number of Advertising Periods with any one (1) month period.

11.5 Transfer. If an UPLOADER wishes to change the Content or Advertising Period for the Ad Space, UPLOADER must contact the GC Support Team. UPLOADER acknowledges that no changes or new approvals will be permitted or issued within three (3) business days of the Advertising Period and GC reserves the right to reject any transfer request, in its sole discretion.

11.6 Pricing and Payment. GC reserves the right to vary ad prices periodically and/or based on traffic expectations for a specific Advertising Period. Before payment is processed, an invoice will be issued to UPLOADER. In the case of any discrepancy between the price listed on the GC Platform at the time of purchase and the price listed on the invoice, the invoice price shall prevail.

UPLOADERS may purchase Ad Space by credit card. In case of issues with credit card payment, GC reserves the right to set off the debt with the UPLOADER’s profile earnings. Chargebacks on Ad Space purchases may result in UPLOADER’s account being restricted from existing or future Ad Space purchases or other GC ad related services, or suspension or termination of your account.

If, for any reason, UPLOADER no longer wishes to advertise during a specific Advertising Period and does not wish to transfer their purchase to another Advertising Period, UPLOADER may retract their Ad Space request and ask for a refund by providing at least seven (7) calendar days’ notice to the GC Support Team at community@glowclub.tv. UPLOADER acknowledges that no refunds will be issued for requests submitted less than seven (7) calendar days prior to the purchased Advertising Period. In case of a breach by the UPLOADER that results in the termination of the right to use the Ad Space, no refund will be issued.

12. MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Notices. UPLOADER may serve official notices to GC by sending an e-mail to: community@glowclub.tv. GC may serve official notices to UPLOADER by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address on the UPLOADER's account.

If these TOS are translated into any other language, it will be for information purposes only and the English language will prevail in the event of any conflict between the translated version and the English-language version.

12.4 Entire Agreement. These TOS set forth the entire agreement between the UPLOADER and GC and supersedes all other written or oral agreements. If any provision of these TOS is held invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, without invalidating the remaining provisions of these TOS.

12.5 No Assignment. These TOS, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you but may be assigned by us without restriction.

12.6 No Other Limitations. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit or prevent either UPLOADER or GC’s abilities to conduct their respective business with respect to matters not specifically addressed under these TOS.
