Respecting Copyright.
DMCA Guidelines.
The DMCA, Defined
The DMCA and similar laws worldwide establish parameters for services like Plauzzable, which transmit and host user-generated content, to address claims that this content infringes someone’s copyrighted work. When rights holders (or those who act on their behalf) believe their copyrighted work has been included in user-generated content on services like Plauzzable without their permission, they can submit a notification of claimed infringement (i.e. “notification”) to the service to have the allegedly infringing material removed from the website. The DMCA and similar laws also allow individuals who receive certain types of notifications to dispute claims of alleged infringement (i.e. “counter-notification”) and permit rights holders to retract their notifications (i.e. “retractions”).
Below, we explain Plauzzable’s role in the DMCA process, what information must be contained in notifications, counter-notifications, and retractions, and how we handle these communications. We expect notifications and counter-notifications to comply with the requirements in the DMCA and similar laws, and we will consider any failure to comply. For example, we may not act on a notification of claimed infringement if a claimant fails to substantially comply with all of the requirements we list below.
Plauzzable’s Role.
Plauzzable has no authority or ability to make legal judgments regarding copyright infringement allegations. It is our policy to follow statutes and court rulings regarding uses of our services and conduct of our account holders. The DMCA and similar laws require that Plauzzable act as “go-between,” processing notifications of claimed infringement from rights holders and counter-notifications from account holders and notifying the impacted parties. It is the responsibility of the rights holder and the account holder to resolve the dispute.
In addition to facilitating this claim/dispute process, Plauzzable is also responsible for:
- Setting the requirements for what must be included in notifications and counter- notifications, consistent with DMCA requirements and similar laws;
- Keeping track of notifications directed to account holders, counter-notifications from account holders, and any court orders regarding these disputes; and
- Adopting and reasonably implementing a policy that requires termination in appropriate circumstances of account holders who repeatedly engage in copyright infringement on Plauzzable. We call this our “Repeat Infringer Policy,” and it is discussed in detail below.
Plauzzable’s Actions Upon Receipt of Notifications of Claimed Infringement.
If Plauzzable receives a complete notification from a rights holder or someone acting on their behalf claiming that content on a channel infringes the rights holder’s copyright, Plauzzable generally notifies the account holder. At the same time, we will generally remove or disable access to recorded or other content containing the claimed infringing material. We may disable a live- stream and/or suspend an account if the claimed infringement is continuing at the time which we receive the rights holder’s notification.
Plauzzable’s Actions Upon Receipt of Counter-Notifications.
If Plauzzable receives a complete counter-notification from an account holder, Plauzzable generally notifies the claimant who submitted the original notification. At the same time, we may restore recorded content containing the claimed infringing material. Disputed notifications generally will not qualify for a strike under our Repeat Infringer Policy (discussed in more detail below), unless and until the dispute has been resolved by the account holder and the rights holder. Please note that Plauzzable may not be able to reinstate certain material or access to it due to factors such as the passage of time or the format in which the material was broadcast or stored.
Plauzzable’s Actions Upon Receipt of Retractions.
If Plauzzable receives a retraction from a rights holder or someone acting on their behalf, we may restore recorded content containing the claimed infringing material and the disputed notification will not qualify for a strike under our Repeat Infringer Policy (discussed in more detail below). Please note that Plauzzable may not be able to reinstate certain material or access to it due to factors such as the passage of time or the format in which the material was broadcast or stored.
Notification, Counter-Notification, Retraction Submission Requirements.
Submitting a Notice of Claimed Infringement.
If you are a rights holder or an agent thereof, and you believe that any material transmitted or stored on our service infringes your copyrights, then you may submit a written notification of claimed infringement by providing Plauzzable’s Designated Copyright Agent, defined below, with the following information:
- Today’s date;
- Type of material you are reporting (e.g., livestream, recorded clip)
- URL where the allegedly infringing material can or could be found (for claims against live streams and material, please provide a channel/location URL; for claims against recorded videos, please provided a direct link to the video);
- Date and time of the alleged infringement, where applicable (for live streams, please indicate “ongoing” if alleged infringement is occurring at the time of your submission; for concluded events, please provide the date and an accurate timestamp or time frame that identifies, in Pacific Standard Time, when the alleged infringing activity occurred);
- Identification of the copyrighted work allegedly infringed;
- Link that points directly to an authorized example of the copyrighted work, if available (e.g., URL to website or other location where work is displayed);
- Name of the rights holder (owner of the copyright) (person or company) & your relationship to the rights holder (e.g., whether you are the rights holder or an authorized agent);
Information that allows Plauzzable to contact you, including:
- Your full name;
- Your organization, if applicable;
- Your full postal address (Street, Unit #, City/Town, State, Mailing Code, Country);
- Your phone number, including International Code;
- Your email address; and
Verify these statements by including, and adding your name to, the following affidavit:
I, <your full name as an electronic signature>, wish to state that:
- I have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- This notification is accurate; and
- Under penalty of perjury, I am the owner, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Providing all of the information listed above makes it easier for Plauzzable to act on your notification, and failure to do so could render your notification ineffective. Please note that copyright complainants have an obligation to preserve evidence of the alleged infringement. Plauzzable will typically forward complete notifications of claimed infringement to the accused account holder to give the accused account holder an opportunity to review the allegations of infringement and take appropriate action, among other reasons.
Finally, notifications of claimed infringement that include false statements or knowing misrepresentations will be rejected if Plauzzable becomes aware of them and may subject the claimant who submitted the notification to liability – for example, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
Submitting a Counter-Notification.
If you are a Plauzzable account holder and a notification of claimed infringement has been submitted against your content, we encourage you to review the details we have provided and consider your options. If you believe that the notification – and any action Plauzzable has taken as a result – was sent due to a mistake (for example, you believe your actions qualify as fair use under U.S. law) or misidentification, then you may send us a counter-notification.
To send a counter-notification – whether responding to a notification directed to recorded content, a live stream, or something else – please provide all of the following information:
- URL(s) (if any) where the material that was the subject of the notification of claimed infringement appeared before it was identified, removed, or access to it was disabled;
- Name of the claimant who submitted the notification;
- Your Services account name and any registration information;
- Your full legal name;
- Your email address;
- Your full postal address (Street, Unit #, State, Mailing Code, Country);
- Your phone number, including International Code; and
- Verify these statements by including, and adding your name to, the following affidavit:
I, <your full name as an electronic signature>, wish to state that:
- I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my address is located, or if my address is outside of the United States, the judicial district in which Plauzzable may be found, and will accept service of process from the claimant.
- I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material identified in the notification was identified, removed, and/or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
You also have the option to explain why you believe there was a mistake or misidentification. Counter-notifications that include all of the information above should be sent to Plauzaable using one of the methods described in “Designated Copyright Agent” below. Keep in mind that failure to provide this information could result in Plauzzable being unable to act in response to your counter-notification.
Submitting a Retraction.
If you are an account holder who has received a notification of claimed infringement, you can seek a retraction by reaching out to the rights holder or agent who sent the notification directly. Plauzzable will honor retractions of notifications from the party that originally submitted the notifications.
If you are a rights holder or agent who submitted a notification that you wish to retract, please email the retraction request to the Designated Copyright Agent’s email address and make the request from the same email address as your original notification. We cannot process requests sent from a different email address.
Please provide the following:
- The date of your original notification and, if applicable, the Claim ID – replying to the takedown confirmation email we sent may help us respond more quickly.
- The copyrighted work(s) allegedly infringed;
- The URL(s) where the allegedly infringing material could be found; and
- An electronic or physical signature (typing your full legal name is sufficient).
Repeat Infringer Policy.
We will terminate an account holder’s access to the Services if that user is determined by Plauzzable to be a “repeat infringer” of copyrighted works on the service – under our policy, a user will be considered a repeat infringer if they accrue three copyright strikes. Furthermore, we may in appropriate cases and at our sole discretion, limit access to the Services and/or terminate the accounts of any users who blatantly and egregiously infringe the intellectual property rights of others, whether or not repeat infringement has occurred. Account holders generally earn a strike when Plauzzable receives a complete notification of infringement and does not receive a complete counter-notification regarding the alleged infringement or a retraction of the notification. Strikes are not permanent, but rather are associated with an account for enough time for Plauzzable to determine whether the account holder is engaging in repeated, actual infringement such that termination is necessary under this Policy.
When determining whether account holders are repeat infringers under this policy, we take into consideration complete notifications of claimed infringement from rights holders, complete counter- notifications from account holders, retractions from rights holders, and other relevant factors and circumstances, such as whether the claimant is frivolous or vexatious. Plauzzable may also ask the complainant and/or account holder for more information where we think it is necessary to fairly apply our Repeat Infringer Policy.
If a relevant court rules that an account holder is an “infringer” or “repeat infringer” on Plauzzable, we will take that ruling as conclusive under our Repeat Infringer Policy. To provide judicial determinations showing that an account holder is an infringer, or a repeat infringer, on the Services, please forward it to our Designated Copyright Agent (see below) with “court ruling regarding infringer/repeat infringer” in the subject line. Plauzzable personnel will review the submission and may contact the complainant and/or account holder to verify the court ruling and understand its scope.

Introduction & Agreement.
The show ticket access feature (“Show Access”) allows Plauzzable users (“Fan” or “Fans”) to view a show by, and support their favorite comedians or comediennes performing on Plauzzable (“you,” “your,” or “Creator(s)”) by purchasing a ticket that provides access to digital content offered by Creators (“Show Ticket”). Your use of Plauzzable (“Plauzzable” or “Platform”) with respect to the Show Access feature, is subject to, and you agree to comply with, these Creator Access Terms (“Creator Terms”) the Terms of Service and any other products or services offered by Plauzzable (“Services”).
Use of the Services.
You agree your use of Show Access is to offer access to your comedy shows to Fans. This use is subject to, and you agree to comply with, the Creator Terms and Terms of Service. You agree to follow any additional instructions and/or technical documentation Plauzzable provides to you for Show Access.
E-mails.
If, for whatever reason, you ever receive or view an e-mail address associated with a Fan when they purchase a Show Ticket, you agree that you will not use that e-mail address for any other purpose other than to communicate with Fans about the Show Access, unless you first obtain their permission to do so, consistent with applicable law.
Show Access Information.
You will provide accurate information to Fans in connection with your use of Show Access, including but not limited to any digital content or services you choose to offer to them. You must clearly and conspicuously disclose all material terms regarding your offer and the nature of content or services you will provide to Fans (i.e., price of Show Tickets, date and time of the show, appropriate audiences, and whether the Show Tickets provide access to live shows or archived performances (depending on what Plauzzable may make available from time to time)).
Laws.
Intellectual Property.
You confirm that the content you offer via Show Access does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third-party and that you have secured all rights necessary to distribute, copy, display, publicly perform, or otherwise use the content. You further agree not to use or incorporate any music in connection with your use of Show Access unless you own and/or control all rights in all music included in the content (i.e., you wrote, performed, and recorded all music and lyrics yourself, or you have obtained and paid for licenses from all relevant record companies, music publishers, and other rightsholders to feature the music in your content in all countries where your content is made available), or the music is in the public domain. Any reports of unauthorized use of music or other intellectual property rights may result, among other things, in your content being blocked and/or your use of Show Access being terminated under Section 15.
Limited Use.
You agree that your use of Show Access is solely for the purpose of providing Fans access to your show through a Show Ticket, and not for using, incorporating, or otherwise providing any other goods or services.
Gambling
You may not promote or facilitate any gambling, including, for example, a lottery or a raffle, using Show Access. If, for whatever reason, and despite this restriction, you communicate or administer a promotion, contest, or sweepstakes using Show Access, you confirm and agree that you are solely responsible for the lawful operation of that promotion, including with respect to the promotion’s official rules, eligibility restrictions, and compliance with any applicable law or regulation governing the promotion and awarding of prizes (for example, any requirements relating to registration or regulatory approvals). Plauzzable will not assist you in the administration of your promotion, and you confirm and agree that if you use Show Access to communicate or administer your promotion, you do so at your own risk. Any such promotion must include a complete release of Plauzzable by each entrant or participant and an acknowledgement that the promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by or associated with Plauzzable. For the avoidance of doubt, any such promotion may not award as a prize, or otherwise involve, physical goods, and you agree to indemnify and hold Plauzzable harmless for any such promotional activity.
Payment Processing.
Plauzzable processes all Show Ticket transactions through its payment processor vendor, Stripe (“Payment Processor”). Plauzzable reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, change the Payment Processor from time to time. Plauzzable is not responsible for any fees applied by your financial institution(s) to complete payment to you.
Fees and Revenue Share.
Creators get to set their own prices for their shows subject to the Show Access feature. Plauzzable will pay you a revenue share calculated as a percentage (“Your Share”) of what’s left of the revenues from your Show Ticket sales after deduction of fees/charges and any other fees or taxes incurred by Plauzzable. Your Show Ticket sales will be processed as payments to Plauzzable via the Stripe payment platform, which are subject to Stripe’s separate payment terms and conditions. Plauzzable will deduct for itself a revenue share of 40% of your Show Ticket sales (which cover the fees for Stripe and the use of Plauzzable). The remaining 60% of the Revenue Share goes to the Creator. Plauzzable may, in its sole discretion, change the revenue share provisions contained in these Creator Terms in the future. Plauzzable will make best efforts to give 30 days' notice of any such change. If a Fan successfully seeks a refund or chargeback from their credit card provider in respect to a Fan payment made to you, we may investigate and, if necessary, deduct from your revenue share an amount earned by you equal to the charged-back or refunded amount.
Payment Enrollment Process.
Creators must complete any enrollment process Plauzzable requires for payment by Stripe, or the third-party Payment Processor Plauzzable so designates to you, prior to using the Show Access feature. If you do not complete the payment enrollment process in a proper manner that allows Plauzzable to deliver payment to you through the Payment Processor, you forfeit and waive all rights to receive payment of any funds collected through the Show Access feature. Plauzzable may, but has no obligation or duty, notify you if they are unable to deliver payment based on the information you provide to the Payment Processor platform. Stripe (or the Payment Processor) will collect fan payments and pay the Creator earnings to their bank account.
Discounts and Free Trials.
Plauzzable reserves the right to offer discounted Show Tickets and free trials for fans in its discretion from time to time for any reason. In such instances, Your Share will be reduced accordingly, and Your Share will be based on the amounts fans actually pay (less fees and taxes incurred by Plauzzable). Subject to the implementation of the feature by Plauzzable, and at Plauzzable’s sole discretion, a Creator will have the ability to generate up to 3 codes for discounted Show Tickets per show, ranging from 0-100% off. The Creator will decide what percent discount will apply to those 3 tickets.
Payment.
Payment to you of any net amounts Plauzzable receives for Show Access from fans will be made on a monthly basis, on the 4th of each month for the previous months’ shows, subject to the accurate completion and timely provision of all forms and documentation that Plauzzable reasonably determines is required to complete such payment, and subject to your compliance with the Creator Terms. Plauzzable will not be responsible for any subsequent fees applied by your financial institution to complete payment of the monthly fee to you. If your account is deactivated or terminated, you may forfeit any accrued amounts. Plauzzable also reserves the right to refund Fans, or to set off and/or withhold any amounts that Plauzzable reasonably considers is due or is likely to be payable by you to Plauzzable under these Terms (including under any indemnities).
Taxes.
You are responsible for paying any applicable taxes owed with respect to any amounts you receive through your use of Show Access. If Plauzzable is required to do so under applicable law, it will charge you taxes with respect to such amounts.
Termination/Suspension.
Plauzzable can terminate or suspend your use of Show Access at any time in its sole discretion, and may change or stop offering Show Access at any time in its sole discretion. In no event will Plauzzable be liable for terminating or suspending your use of Show Access, for discontinuation of Show Access, either temporarily or permanently, or for the removal or disabling of access to content, or for the withdrawal of the content or Show Access.
Material Changes.
If you change what is included in a Show Ticket in a way that could be considered material (i.e., date, timing), you must give fans reasonable prior notice before a show such that they have a reasonable opportunity to cancel their Show Ticket if they choose to do so.
Third-Party Use.
If you are using Show Access on behalf of a third-party (including, but not limited to, as an agent or representative of a Creator), you represent and warrant that you have the authority as agent of such party to use such features on their behalf, agree to these Creator Terms, and hereby bind such party to these Creator Terms. You agree that all information submitted to Plauzzable is agreed upon and worked out between you, your agents, and representatives prior to submittal. You agree to indemnify and hold Plauzzable harmless from any claims, suits, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses resulting from breach of the Creator Terms by you or the parties you represent.
Limitation of Liability.
To the greatest extent permitted by law, you agree that Plauzzable is not liable to you for any incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of these terms, or your use or attempted use of the Show Access feature. For this clause, “Plauzzable,” “we,” and “our” are defined to include our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and third-party service providers. You further agree that Plauzzable excludes all implied warranties, representations, or conditions, that may apply to Plauzzable or any content on it. That means if the Terms of Service or Creator Terms do not expressly include a promise or commitment by us, then one cannot be implied by law. You further agree that Plauzzable is not responsible to you for any loss or damage suffered by you that is not a foreseeable result of Plauzzable breaching the Terms of Service or using reasonable care and skill. You agree that loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time you agreed to the Terms of Service and the Creator Terms, both Plauzzable and you knew it might happen. We are specifically not liable for losses associated with unfulfilled offerings and benefits and for losses caused by conflicting or unfulfilled contractual agreements. In no event shall the aggregate liability of Plauzzable exceed the greater of one hundred U.S. Dollars (U.S. $100.00) or the amounts unpaid by Plauzzable to you, if any, in the past six months for Fans Show Ticket purchases. The limitations of this subsection shall apply to any theory of liability, whether based on warranty, contract, statute, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, and whether or not Plauzzable has been informed of the possibility of any such damage, and even if a remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose.
Updates.
Plauzzable reserves the right to update these Creator Terms from time to time. If any change to these Creator Terms is material, we will provide you with notice before the changes become effective, so that you can choose to terminate or discontinue your use of Show Access. Your continued use of Show Access despite material changes to the Creator Terms constitutes acceptance of such changes.

Pricing and Payment.
By purchasing a Show Ticket, the Fan agrees to pay the Fan Payment applicable to the relevant Show in accordance with the published price on Plauzzable’s website plus any Tax which is applicable. The Fan and the Creator authorize Plauzzable or its third-party payment processor (Stripe, or as may be changed by Plauzzable from time to time in accordance with any applicable terms of service) to act as a payment intermediary and to collect, hold, and process the Fan Payment and any applicable Tax, deduct any necessary fees, and to pay out the sums due Creators, as described in applicable terms of services on Plauzzable.
License to Access Show.
Once the Fan makes the Fan Payment for a Show Ticket, the Creator grants to the Fan a limited license to access the applicable Show of that Creator to which the Show Ticket relates (the “Show”). This license is non-transferable, non-sublicensable and non-exclusive, and permits the Fan to access and view the Show on the Fan’s personal device and via a normal web browser (and to make a temporary copy of such Content only to the extent that this is an incidental and technical process forming part of the Fan’s accessing the Show (i.e. caching)), in accordance with all other Plauzzable terms of service.
Content Ownership.
The Fan participating in Show Access acknowledges and agrees that the license to access Show provided in Section 6 of this Agreement does not result in the fan acquiring any rights in or to the Show, which rights shall be retained by the Creator(s) of the Show.
License Expiration.
The licensed granted to a Fan in relation to the Show will expire automatically without notice in the following circumstances:
- If the Fan Payment related to the Show was unsuccessful, or is charged back, contested, or reversed for any reason;
- In respect of the Show, once the Show has ended;
- If the Fan’s account is suspended or terminated for any reason;
- If the Fan acts in breach of the Terms of Service, or any other applicable terms on Plauzzable;

Cancellation and Refunds.

With that said, Plauzzable may, on a case-by-case basis, cancel or refund a Show Ticket under the appropriate circumstances, in their sole discretion.
Fan/Creator Obligations.
- The Fan and the Creator participating in the relevant Show agree to comply at all times with Plauzzable’s Terms of Service and all other applicable terms in relation to the Show, including when accessing, viewing, and interacting with it.
- The Fan participating in the relevant Show agrees to make the Fan Payment required to access, view, or interact with the Show, and agrees not to initiate a chargeback other than if the Fan disputes the Show Ticket purchase with a good faith reason. By way of non-limiting example, not being happy with a show is not a good faith reason for a chargeback. If someone stole your credit card and used it without authorization, that is a good faith reason. If Plauzzable has reason to suspect that you initiate a chargeback without a good faith reason, it may, in its sole discretion, decide to ban you from Plauzzable.
- The Creator warrants (makes a legally enforceable promise) that they possess all necessary rights in and to the Show sufficient to license it to the Fan in the territory in which the Fan will be accessing the Show, and has obtained, if any, all permissions and consents needed to grant the license in Section 6 of this Agreement.
- The Creator is solely responsible for creating, uploading, and otherwise streaming the Show. The Creator provides no guarantees that it will create and upload Shows on an ongoing or future basis.

No Guarantees.
The Fan participating in the Show Access feature acknowledge that there may be circumstances where it is not possible for the Fan to access the Show or for the Creator to no longer provide the relevant Show, including, but not limited to:
- If the Creator’s account is suspended or deleted;
- If the Fan’s account is suspended or deleted; or
- If the availability of all or any part of Plauzzable’s site is suspended or inaccessible; or
Dispute Terms.
The laws of the State of Washington, excluding its choice of law provisions, govern this Agreement. All disputes related to these Terms, or the Services, will be brought solely in the federal or state courts located in King County, Washington, United States, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and waive any objection as to an inconvenient forum.
If you are a federal, state, or local government entity in the United States using Plauzzable in your official capacity and legally unable to accept the controlling law, jurisdiction, or venue clauses above, then those clauses do not apply to you. For such U.S. federal government entities, these Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the United States of America (without reference to conflict of laws) and, in the absence of federal law and to the extent permitted under federal law, the laws of the State of Washington (excluding choice of law).
