In order to take advantage of some of the pay features available through the Platform, you will be prompted to input a payment method. As noted in our Privacy Policy, this information is received and held by a third-party payment processor who, subject to their terms, will store your payment information for future use through the Platform.

We reserve the right to disallow the use of usernames or cancel, at any time, the membership of any Community Member who uses their selected username in violation of these Terms or in any other way we deem inappropriate in our sole discretion. You are solely responsible for any and all activities conducted and purchases made through your Account. It is important to note that, while we do not require that you provide an email address to create an Account, choosing not to provide an email address limits the support we can provide in connection with your Account as we are unable to verify you are the Account holder.

Shared Accounts. With respect to Accounts which have more than one age-verified user, the person in control of the Account is deemed to be the person whose email address is associated with the Account, unless there is payee information associated with the Account, in which case the payee is deemed to be the person in control of the Account. Material changes to Accounts may only be made at the request of the person deemed to be in control of the account. Material changes include changes to the email address associated with the Account, changes to payee information, and changes to two-factor authentication settings. You understand and agree that the person deemed to be in control of any such Account will have full access to and control over all information associated with the Account, including all information collected on such Account. For more information about information we collect, please see our Privacy Policy.
2. Studio Accounts. Individuals who wish to create a studio account (a "Studio Account") through the Platform must comply with our rules for setting up a Studio Account. If these rules are complied with, such Account will be considered a "Studio" on the Platform.

You are prohibited from providing "tips" for the performance of specific acts. Requesting or demanding specific acts for tips may result in a ban from the Platform for all parties involved. Independent Broadcasters are prohibited from requesting any type of off-Platform payments; provided, however, the Platform may, from time to time, permit Independent Broadcasters to post links to wish lists. Your chosen payment method will only be billed as you specifically request. Unless otherwise specifically provided in writing, you will not be billed for the same purchase on a recurring basis. By providing your payment information, you expressly consent to the use of third-party payment processors to facilitate any and all transactions you may elect to make through the Platform. It is your sole responsibility to make sure that your billing information is up to date. If you believe that you have been erroneously billed, please notify us immediately of such error.

You release us from all liabilities and claims of loss resulting from any error or discrepancy that is not reported to us within 30 days of its publication. We reserve the right to impose transaction limits on Community Members based upon a variety of factors including, without limitation, length of membership to the Platform, location, change in access information, and amount of refund requests.

To be clear, you understand and agree that once a Community Member acquires Member Content uploaded by you in the Community Member's Account on the Platform, you have granted to that Community Member a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to access and view such content through the Platform, and represent that you have all necessary rights and permissions to grant such license.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration proceedings, and awards made by an arbitrator are not generally appealable in court except in rare circumstances. Arbitrators can, however, award damages on an individual basis identical to what can be awarded by a judge. An arbitrator hearing a claim is obligated to follow these Terms as a judge in a regular court proceeding would be. The United States Federal Arbitration Act and United States federal arbitration law apply to these Terms. To commence an arbitration proceeding, you must send a notice to us at legal@LitLounge.io. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, and the Federal Arbitration Act. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment and fees for the arbitration are governed by the AAA rules. We will reimburse the arbitration filing fees for claims less than $1,000 except where the claims are ruled to be frivolous. The arbitration will be held in Los Angeles County, California. Neither party will be entitled to an award of its attorneys' fees or costs incurred in arbitration, except where the court has ruled that the other party's claim is frivolous.
  Regardless of where you reside, to the fullest extent permitted by law, you expressly agree that class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney-general actions, and any other proceeding where someone acts in a representative capacity are not allowed, nor is combining individual proceedings without the consent of all parties.
• Entire Agreement. These terms plus any policies referenced herein or on the site represent the entire agreement between you and us. To the extent that there is a conflict between these Terms and any other policy, these Terms will control except where expressly stated to the contrary.
• Severability. These Terms are severable. If any provision or portion of these Terms is held to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such provision or portion shall be interpreted to fulfill its intended purpose to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, or if legally impossible, such provision or portion shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, and the remainder of these Terms will continue in full force and effect. If any provision or portion of these Terms may be construed in two or more ways, one of which would render the provision invalid or otherwise voidable or unenforceable and another of which would render the provision valid and enforceable, such provision will have the meaning that renders it valid and enforceable.
