The remaining will be paid out to Creator in accordance with this Article C.6, by way of the payment (provider) options selected by Creator in its Account environment (hereinafter: “Payout”).
C.6.3. Sneak Peach will payout Creator in monthly installments, or quicker or slower if both parties agree. Sneak Peach reserves the right to withhold a specific percentage as a reserve to – for example but not limited to - deal with refund requests from Consumers.
C.6.4. Sneak Peach will facilitate timely payment of any refunds owed by Creator to Consumer under a Content Agreement by directly providing Consumer with the amount to be refunded (see also Article B.5.4). Because of this, Creator will owe any such refunded amounts directly to Sneak Peach upon approval and confirmation of the justified refund, and will pay such amounts through the payment options provided through the Platform, within fourteen (14) days of the notification provided by Sneak Peach through the Platform of Creator’s obligation to do so.
C.6.5. Sneak Peach may further defer the payable state of Payout that has not yet become payable if and to the extent that:
a. Sneak Peach suspects the relevant amounts were the result of unlawful activity (either by the Creator or the Consumer) or a violation of these Terms and Conditions or the Content Agreement – until such suspicions are reasonably disproven or confirmed;
b. Sneak Peach suspects or discovers that Creator has attempted or threatened to act in violation of these Terms and Conditions in a way that, in the opinion of Sneak Peach, may lead to legal or financial consequences for Sneak Peach or other Users – until such suspicions are reasonably disproven or confirmed; and/or
c. Sneak Peach has reason to believe that refunds and/or chargebacks under relevant Content Agreements will be so numerous that it will cause Creator to be unable to perform its obligations relating to refunds.
C.6.6. Payout to Creator will become forfeit and will no longer be owed by Sneak Peach if:
a. any suspicions specified in the preceding paragraph are confirmed; and/or
b. and insofar it relates to amounts owed to Sneak Peach due to justified (partial refunds) of Consumer Purchases as meant in Article C.6.4; and/or
c. Six (6) months have passed since Creator terminated its agreement.
C.6.7. Sneak Peach will, at all times, be entitled to offset any Payout which has not (yet) become payable against:
a. amounts owed to Sneak Peach due to justified (partial refunds) of Consumer Purchases as meant in Article C.6.4 – with the understanding that the absence of a Payout owed by Sneak Peach to set-off against does not release Creator from its obligations under Article C.6.4.
b. amounts owed to Sneak Peach due to payment chargebacks by Consumers, including related additional charges levied by the relevant payment provider; and/or
c. any other outstanding amounts or claims Sneak Peach may have on Creator.
