3.7. Payouts to Creators

A third-party payment processor that has been authorized by us will receive all Buyer Payments. Your earnings as a creator will be kept by us or one of our payment processors on your account after our commission is deducted from the Buyer payment..

Your Creator earnings will be added to your account in a fair amount of time. As soon as these Creator profits are visible in your The GrindExposure account, you will be able to withdraw them.

You must have at least the minimum payout amount in your The GrindExposure account in order to receive creator earnings. Please check your account settings to see the minimum payout amount and payout choices for your nation of residence.

Current creator earnings are displayed as the amount in your The GrindExposure account's "current balance." Only US dollars are used for Buyer payments and creator profits. Your bank might charge you for foreign conversion or transfer fees in order for you to get the money. Additionally, you might be charged a fee by the relevant payment processor to obtain the money. Your bank or our payment processors may charge fees; we have no control over those fees, and neither we nor our subsidiary businesses will be responsible for covering any fees that your bank or third-party payment processors may charge.

We reserve the right to investigate and determine whether to deduct from your account an amount equivalent to the Creator earnings you received in the amount refunded or charged back if a Buyer successfully requests a refund or chargeback from your credit card provider with regard to a Buyer payment made to you.

3.8. Withholdings from the creator's profits

The Creator's earnings that are owed to you but have not yet been paid to you may be withheld entirely or in portion.

For as long as necessary to investigate the actual or threatened breach or suspected breach by you or the suspected illegal activity, we may suspend the Creator earnings if we believe that all or part of them are the result of illegal or fraudulent activity, either by you or by the Buyer who made the Buyer payment that resulted in the Creator earnings (as applicable). We may notify you that you have forfeited your Creator earnings if, following our investigation, we determine that (i) you have seriously or repeatedly violated any provision of these terms; (ii) you have attempted or threatened to violate any provision of the Terms of Service in a way that has or may have serious consequences for us or another User (including actual or potential loss caused to us or another User); and/or (iii) the Creator earnings are the result of illegal or fraudulent activity.

If we find out that you have secured, pledged, pledged, assigned, or in any other way allowed a lien to be put on the Creator earnings, we may also keep all or part of the Creator Earnings that are owed to you but have not yet been paid. We take no responsibility to pay third party lien holders from Creator Earnings, and we reserve the right to defer payment of Creator Earnings until the lien has been released.

If we withhold or seize any of your Creator earnings where we are permitted to do so by these conditions for Creators, we shall not be liable to you.

In the event that we withhold all or a portion of the Creators' earnings that are owed to you and later determine that a portion of those earnings is unrelated to any violations of these terms by you or any suspected illegal or fraudulent activity, we may order the payment of that portion of the Creators' earnings to you. You acknowledge that we may keep all Creator profits owed to you but not yet paid to you if we believe that your violation of these terms has caused or is likely to cause us loss. Additionally, we may use these amounts to offset any loss that has been incurred by us.

If, at the conclusion of our investigation, we find that the Creators' earnings have been forfeited, we will make every effort (save where forbidden by law) to return the relevant Buyers' payments that led to the forfeited Creators' earnings to them.
