The company is not responsible for content including links to third-party websites and activities provided by users. Both this content and the activities are neither attributable to the company nor do they reflect the opinion of the company.

ViewStub does not warrant that: this website will be constantly be available, or available at all; or the information on this website is complete, true, accurate or non-misleading.

Nothing on this website constitutes, or is meant to constitute, advice of any kind. If you require advice in relation to any legal, financial or medical matter you should consult an appropriate professional.

This Website is “as is” and there are no warranties either expressed or implied. If you feel that you deserve a refund for our services, please contact us immediately and we will review your claim. It may happen that our platform is down, either for scheduled maintenance or because of site issues. It is possible that one of our creators may making misleading statements in their video content or live stream. We may also encounter security issues. These are just a few examples.

7) Payments & Transactions

Payment for all services (including but not limited to live stream attendance and VOD purchases) is expected in full prior to access to the service. Once successfully purchased, the viewer is granted full access to all features included in the specific service.

Refunds will be reviewed by our support team, and are defined under the “Refund Policy” section of these Terms.

Creators are responsible for upholding the expectations they set involving their content. These expectations should be clearly defined by the creator, as not to cause confusion to potential viewers or customers. Upon successful delivery of these expectations, payment will be released and delivered via a third party escrow service (PayPal, Stripe, etc.).

ViewStub implements a 90% rule. This 90% rule is defined as an expectation that creators will complete at least 90 percent of the time they designate for each stream or VOD. This rule is implemented to help both the creator and the viewer.

Per example, a live stream is listed and estimated at 6 hours by the creator, prior to the first sale. Upon completion of the first purchase of the stream, the creator is expected to stream for at least 90 percent of the 6 hours defined by the creator. This would equate to at least 5.4 of the 6 hours in order to receive payment. This is a generic example, and does not represent all of the situations that may occur while using our service.

ViewStub utilizes a “Pay-Per View Model” (defined as: a type of paid service by which a subscriber or member of a service provider can purchase events to view via private telecast. With the rise of the Internet, the term Internet pay-per-view (iPPV) has been used to describe pay-per-view services accessed online.)

Event customers have two options regarding credit card payment processing fees, they can either 1.) absorb (deduct from their commission) or 2.) pass along to the attendee (add to customer’s ticket purchase price) all credit card and/or PayPal payment processing fees incurred from each transaction. Stripe payment processing fees are 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction, and ViewStub does not charge any additional markup to this amount. For ‘in-person’ tickets, ViewStub keeps 3% + $1.00 per ticket. For ‘video streaming’ tickets, ViewStub charges 19%. By creating with ViewStub, users agree to a eighty one (81) / nineteen (19) percent split between the Event and ViewStub of total ‘video streaming’ ticket revenue earned. For further explanation, creators will receive 81% of their ‘virtual streaming’ ticket revenue and 97% minus $1.00 for each ‘in-person’ ticket sold. Event is responsible for any taxes owed based on the income received from utilizing ViewStub services.

Payouts are accumulated a minimum of 3 days after a successful purchase. New payouts can be requested once the previous one has been completed and the new account balances are updated in your ViewStub account. Use our secure Paypal or bank account integrations for direct transfers. Wire transfers and Zelle payments may have limitations or additional fees.

8) Refund Policy

If refunds are allowed by the organizer, and you wish to receive a refund, you must email the organizer directly with a request within fourteen (14) days of your initial purchase, if purchased after the event date, or within (14) days after the original event date displayed when you made your purchase.

ViewStub fees and individual ticket prices are subject to change at anytime. ViewStub reserves the right and has full authority to issue refunds directly to the customer at our discretion prior to those funds being transferred to the Event through any payouts.

9) User Access

ViewStub has sections of our website where access is restricted. ViewStub reserves the right to restrict access to other areas of this website, or indeed this entire website, at ViewStub's discretion.

For video purchases, ViewStub retains the right to remove ownership, limit availability, update pricing on continuous ownership exceeding 60 days from date of purchase.

A Viewer is granted access to the video or live stream once paid in full. This includes but not limited to video(s) and chat engagement.

10) Reporting Functions

A viewer is allowed to engage in a live chat environment with creator and other viewers. It is a user’s responsibility to act accordingly by the Code of Conduct, a creator or a member of the ViewStub team can report and remove the user from a specific stream or ViewStub.com.

Subsequently, users may also use the report function to notify ViewStub of possible breaches of our Code of Conduct, made by other users, including creators.

If a user is reported for a possible breach as mentioned above, ViewStub will conduct an independent investigation into these claims and take appropriate action. This investigation will be conducted with the utmost professionalism and without bias.

11) Terms of Conditions Updates

In the future, we may update these Terms to clarify our practices or to reflect new or different practices (adjustments, added features, etc.). ViewStub reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify and/or make changes to these Terms at any time. If we make any material change, we will notify you using prominent means such as by email notice sent to the email address specified in your account or by posting a notice through our Services. Modifications to these Terms will become effective on the day they are posted unless stated otherwise. Your continued use of our services after changes become effective indicates that you accept those changes.

Any and all revised Terms shall supersede all previous Terms.
