2. Content Ownership and License Grant

2.1. Ownership: You retain ownership of the intellectual property rights in the original content comprising your Publications that you create and post to the Services.

2.2. License to DeepStreet: To enable us to operate, promote, and improve the Services and to facilitate the distribution and monetization of your Publications, you grant DeepStreet a worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable (through multiple tiers, including to Readers as necessary for their access), royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable license to:(a) Host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting or display purposes), distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, transmit, and otherwise use your Publications on and through the Services;(b) Use your Publications (including excerpts) for the purpose of marketing, advertising, and promoting your Publications and the DeepStreet Services;(c) Use your name, likeness, tradename(s), trademark(s), service mark(s), and logo(s) ("Creator Marks") in connection with the marketing, advertising, distribution, and promotion of your Publications and the DeepStreet Services; and(d) Collect, analyze, and use data related to the access and usage of your Publications on an aggregated and/or anonymized basis for analytics, service improvement, and reporting purposes.

2.3. License Scope and Duration: This license continues for as long as your Publications remain on the Services. Upon removal of a Publication or termination of this Agreement, the license granted in Section 2.2 will terminate, except that DeepStreet may retain: (i) archival copies for legal, regulatory, or backup purposes; (ii) the right to continue displaying Publications to Readers who had valid subscriptions for the duration of their paid subscription term; (iii) aggregated/anonymized data derived from your Publications; and (iv) residual rights in marketing or promotional materials created prior to termination that incorporate your Publications or Creator Marks.

3. Pricing, Payments, and Revenue Share

3.1. Pricing: You may offer your Publications for free or for a recurring subscription fee, determined at your sole discretion using the tools provided within the Services. You may change subscription prices prospectively, but price changes will not apply retroactively to existing subscription terms.

3.2. Payment Processing: If you charge subscription fees, you must use the third-party payment processing platform designated by DeepStreet (the "Payment Processor," e.g., Stripe) and comply with its terms and conditions. All payments from Readers must be processed through the mechanisms integrated within the Services.

3.3. No Circumvention: You agree not to solicit or accept payments for subscriptions to Publications accessible via DeepStreet through any means outside the designated Payment Processor integrated with the Services (e.g., direct PayPal links, separate payment pages specifically for accessing DeepStreet content). This provision does not prohibit you from operating independent websites or services, provided you do not actively divert Readers obtained through DeepStreet to circumvent payment processing via the Services for the same Publications offered on DeepStreet. You agree to notify us immediately at legal@deepstreet.io if you receive an offer or solicitation intended to circumvent these payment terms.

3.4. Revenue Share: In consideration for use of the Services, DeepStreet shall retain ten percent (10%) of the Net Subscription Revenue (the "Revenue Share"). "Net Subscription Revenue" means the gross subscription fees received from Readers for your Publications via the Payment Processor, less (i) fees charged by the Payment Processor, (ii) refunds issued to Readers, (iii) chargebacks and payment disputes, and (iv) any applicable sales, value-added (VAT), or similar transaction taxes collected by DeepStreet or the Payment Processor on your behalf. The remaining amount constitutes your payout.

3.5. Payment Mechanics: The Payment Processor will typically facilitate the automatic deduction and transfer of the Revenue Share to DeepStreet and the Payment Processor's fees, with the remaining Net Subscription Revenue disbursed to the payout account you designate in accordance with the Payment Processor's schedule and terms. You authorize DeepStreet and the Payment Processor to perform these deductions and transfers. All Revenue Share payments to DeepStreet are non-refundable.

3.6. Taxes: You are solely responsible for determining, reporting, and remitting any and all applicable federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, duties, levies, and similar assessments (including income, gross receipts, and self-employment taxes) arising from or related to the revenue you earn through the Services. DeepStreet or the Payment Processor may collect transaction-based taxes (like sales tax or VAT) from Readers where legally required, but you remain ultimately responsible for your overall tax compliance. You agree to provide DeepStreet with accurate tax identification information (e.g., SSN, EIN, VAT number) as required for reporting purposes (e.g., Form 1099-K).

3.7. Information and Accuracy: You agree to provide and maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date account, payment, and tax information as requested by DeepStreet or the Payment Processor. Failure to do so may result in delayed or withheld payments.
