You can delete your account at any time, but you acknowledge that deleting your account will not of itself prevent the circulation of any of your Content which may have been recorded by other Users in breach of the Terms of Service or by third parties prior to the deletion of your account.

Intellectual property rights – ownership and licenses:

  1. You confirm that you own all intellectual property rights (examples of which are copyright and trademarks) in your Content or that you have obtained all necessary rights to your Content which are required to grant licenses in respect of your Content to us and to other Users. This includes any rights required to engage in the acts covered by sub-section 10(b) below in any territory in which Fan-Topia is accessible and, in particular, in the United States of America, the United Kingdom and the European Union.
  2. You agree to grant us a license under all your Content to perform any act restricted by any intellectual property right (including copyright) in such Content, for any purpose reasonably related to the provision and operation of Fan-Topia. Such acts include to reproduce, make available and communicate to the public, display, perform, distribute, translate, and create adaptations or derivative works of your Content, and otherwise deal in your Content.
  3. The license which you grant to us under sub-section 10(b) above is perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, assignable and transferable by us. This means that the license will continue even after your agreement with us ends and you stop using Fan-Topia, that we do not have to pay you for the license, and that we can grant a sub-license of your Content to someone else or assign or transfer the license to someone else. This license will allow us, for example, to add stickers, text, and watermarks to your Content, to make your Content available to other Users of Fan-Topia, as well as to use your Content for other normal operations of Fan-Topia. We will never sell your Content to other platforms, though we may sell or transfer any license you grant to us in the Terms of Service in the event of a sale of our company or its assets to a third party.
  4. Whilst we do not own your Content, you grant us the limited right to submit notifications of infringement (including of copyright or trademark) on your behalf to any third-party website or service that hosts or is otherwise dealing in infringing copies of your Content without your permission. Although we are not under any obligation to do so, we may at any time submit or withdraw any such notification to any third-party website or service where we consider it appropriate to do so. However, we do not and are under no obligation to police infringements of your Content. You agree that if we request, you will provide us with all consents and other information which we reasonably need to submit notifications of infringement on your behalf. Please see our Complaints Policy for how to make a complaint about infringement of intellectual property rights.
  5. You waive any moral rights which you may have under any applicable law to object to derogatory treatment of any Content posted by you on Fan-Topia. This waiver does not affect in any way your ownership of any intellectual property rights in your Content or the rights which you have to prevent your Content from being copied without your permission. The waiver is intended to allow us when dealing with your Content (as permitted by the license which you give us in section 10(b) above) to add watermarks, stickers or text to your Content.
  6. Twitter: Users have the facility to connect an active Twitter account to their Fan-Topia account and to share certain Content in the form of Fan-Topia posts to Twitter using the share feature. If you use this feature, you must fully comply with Twitter's terms of service from time to time in respect of any Content shared in this way.

Linking to and from Fan-Topia:

Links to Fan-Topia:

  • You may link to the Fan-Topia homepage, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it, but you must not establish a link in such a way as to suggest any form of association, approval, or endorsement on our part.
  • If you are a Creator, when promoting your Creator account you must comply with our Terms of Service and the terms of service of any other website where you place a link to or otherwise promote your Creator account. When promoting your Creator account, you must not impersonate Fan-Topia or give the impression that your Creator account is being promoted by us if this is not the case. You must not promote your Fan-Topia account by using Google Ads or any similar advertising platform or search engine advertising service.
  1. Links from Fan-Topia: If Fan-Topia contains links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your convenience only. Such links should not be interpreted as approval by us of those linked websites or information you may obtain from them. We have no control over the contents of those sites or resources and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them. If you decide to access any of the third-party websites linked to Fan-Topia, you do so entirely at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of use for such websites.

Domain Names: In some instances, Fan-Topia may allow Creators to register or use domain names that contain the Fan-Topia trademark or a confusingly similar term. However, you will not register such a domain name, unless:

  • The domain name is registered by the Creator.
  • The domain name redirects to the Creator’s Fan-Topia profile. Domain names containing the Fan-Topia trademark or a confusingly similar term must not direct to any other website, including link aggregators.
  • The Creator obtains prior written permission from Fan-Topia and signs a licensing agreement.

How do I delete my account? If you want to delete your Fan-Topia account then you may do so in the 'User Account' section of your Fan-Topia account.

  1. If you are a Fan, the deletion of your account will take place within a reasonable time following your request.
  2. If you are a Creator, then once you initiate the "delete account" process your account will remain open until the last day of your Fans' paid Subscription period, following which you will receive your final payment and your account will be deleted.
  3. If you are both a Fan and a Creator then your account will be deleted in two stages (Fan first and then Creator).
  4. Once your account has been deleted you won't be charged any further amounts or have access to your former Fan-Topia account or its Content, and any subscriptions will be deleted and cannot be subsequently renewed. You will receive an email confirmation upon the successful deletion of your account. Once your account has been deleted, we may deal with your Content in any appropriate manner in accordance with our Privacy Policy (including by deleting it) and you will no longer be entitled to access your Content. There is no technical facility on Fan-Topia for you to be able to access your Content following termination of your account.

Adult material: You acknowledge that you are aware that some of the Content on Fan-Topia contains adult material, and you agree to take this into account when deciding where to access and view Content. We will not be responsible to you if you suffer any loss or damage as a result of your accessing or viewing Content containing adult material in a way which places you in breach of any contract you have with a third party (for example, your employment contract) or in breach of any applicable law.

Subscriptions and purchases by Fans: This section describes the terms which apply to Fan/Creator Transactions:

  1. All Fan/Creator Transactions are contracts between Fans and Creators on the terms of the Standard Contract between Fan and Creator. Although we facilitate Fan/Creator Transactions by providing the Fan-Topia platform and storing Content we are not a party to the Standard Contract between Fan and Creator or any other contract which may exist between a Fan and Creator, and are not responsible for any Fan/Creator Transactions.
  2. Creators are solely responsible for determining (within the parameters for pricing on Fan-Topia) the pricing applicable to Fan/Creator Transactions and the Content to which you may be given access. All prices appear in USD only.
  3. Fan Payments are exclusive of VAT, which shall be added at the current rate as applicable to Fan Payments.
  4. To be able to enter into a Fan/Creator Transaction with a particular Creator, you must first add a payment card to your account and then click the 'Subscribe' button on the relevant Creator's profile.
  5. You authorize us and our subsidiary companies to supply your payment card details to a third-party payment provider for the purpose of processing your Fan Payment. All Fan Payments will be charged in USD. Your payment card provider may charge you currency conversion fees. We do not have control over currency exchange rates or charges imposed by your payment card provider or bank and we and our subsidiary companies will not be responsible for paying any charges or fees imposed by your payment card provider or bank.
  6. If you choose to provide details of two or more payment cards, then if you try to make a Fan Payment from the first card and the card is rejected for any reason, then the other payment card will be used to collect the full Fan Payment.
  7. The payment provider will take (i) periodic payments from your payment card for Fan Payments which are Subscriptions; and (ii) immediate payments from your payment card for Fan Payments other than Subscriptions (including any tips paid by you to a Creator). You authorize and consent to each of these payments being debited using your supplied payment card details.
  8. Apart from free-trial Subscriptions, all Subscriptions to a Creator's profile will automatically renew at the end of the relevant subscription period, except if your payment card is declined, the subscription price for the Subscription has increased, or you have turned off the "Auto-Renew" switch located on the relevant Creator's profile. This means that if you want to stop subscribing to a Creator's profile and paying continuing monthly subscription charges, you will need to turn off the "Auto-Renew" switch located on the relevant Creator's profile.
  9. If you cancel a Subscription you will continue to be permitted to view the relevant Creator's Content until the end of the subscription period in which you cancelled, after which no further payments will be taken from your payment card in respect of subscriptions to that Creator's profile (unless you choose to pay for a new Subscription to that Creator’s profile), and you will no longer be able to view the relevant Creator's Content.
  10. You agree that you will not make unjustified requests for a refund in respect of any Fan/Creator Transaction or tip to a Creator, or unjustified chargeback requests of your payment card provider in relation to any Fan/Creator Transaction or tip to a Creator. If we consider that any request for a refund or chargeback request was made by you in bad faith, we have the right to suspend or delete your User account.
  11. If you believe a refund is owed to you due to a creator misleading you or not delivering on a service, please reach out to us via the "contact us" section of the site.
  12. Refunds are not available to users after 3 days into the subscription period.
  13. Subscriptions end one calendar month from last payment - i.e if you subscribed on the 5th of a month, but cancelled on the 6th or 31st, it would still end on the 5th of the next month.
  14. Wallet credits: You can prepay an amount on Fan-Topia (known as "Wallet Credits") which you can later use to make Fan Payments. Purchases on Fan-Topia cannot be divided - if you attempt a purchase that costs more than the total amount of your remaining Wallet Credits, your payment card will be charged the full amount for that purchase. Wallet Credits are subject to a maximum amount as determined by us from time to time. Interest will not accrue on Wallet Credits. Wallet Credits are non-refundable, which means that you are not entitled to a refund of any unused Wallet Credits.
  15. Suspension of your User account: If we suspend your User account in accordance with our rights under the Terms of Service, then any Fan Payments which would otherwise have fallen due during the period of suspension of your User account will be suspended during the period of the suspension of your User account.

Upon our request, you must disclose the methods by which you share your unique referral link in the Bio/Website field of your Fan-Topia account.
  4. The Referred Creator must click on your unique referral link and then register with Fan-Topia using the same browser that they used to click on your unique referral link. If someone registers with Fan-Topia other than by using your unique referral link, we will not link that account to your referral and no referral payments will be made to you.
  5. The Referred Creator must not have opened a User account with Fan-Topia (whether under the same name or another name) before clicking on your unique referral link. If the Referred Creator is currently or has previously been a User of Fan-Topia no referral payments will be made to you for the referral.
  6. If the Referred Creator sets up more than one User account referral payments will be made to you on the earnings made by the Referred Creator from their first User account only. No referral payments will be made to you on any further User accounts set up by the Referred Creator.
  7. No referral payments will be made to you on any referral of a Referred Creator which we determine is owned or operated by you, or is in a commercial relationship with you. You will provide any information which we request to enable us to determine whether the Referred Creator is owned or operated by you or if there is a commercial relationship between you and the Referred Creator.

You agree that when promoting Fan-Topia in any way as a Referring User:

  • you will not give a false impression of Fan-Topia, the services, programs, and content (including Content) made available through Fan-Topia, its Users or the Terms of Service; and
  • you will not make any statements which suggest to a potential Creator that the potential Creator will make a particular sum of money (or any money) from their use of Fan-Topia, or any statements regarding the likely number of Fans.

Referral payments:

How are referral payments calculated? Once a Referred Creator has become a registered User of Fan-Topia in accordance with the rules of the Fan-Topia Referral Program described above, the Referring User will be paid a referral payment equal to five per cent (5%) of Fan Payments generated by the Referred Creator for the lifetime of the account of the Referred Creator.

Warning: In compliance with regulation 3 of the Trading Scheme Regulations 1997 (as amended) and section 120(1) of the Fair Trading Act 1973, please read the warning below in respect of the Fan-Topia Referral Program:

  • It is illegal for us or for a participant in the Fan-Topia Referral Program (including Referring Users and Referred Creators) to persuade anyone to make a payment by promising benefits from getting others to join the Fan-Topia Referral Program.
  • Do not be misled by claims that high earnings are easily achieved from participation in the Fan-Topia Referral Program.
  1. Choosing a payout method to receive referral payments: In order to be able to receive referral payments you must first choose one of the payout methods provided by Fan-Topia in your country of residence. These methods are called "Payout Options".
  2. How frequently are referral payments made? These are automatically added to your on-site balance.
  3. Who bears the cost of the referral payment? The cost of the referral payment is borne by us, not the Referred Creator.

Our rights relating to the referral program.

  1. If referral payments have been made incorrectly then we have the right to recover the wrongly paid sums from the User to whom the wrongly paid sums have been paid.
  2. We may request you or Referred Creators (or both) to provide us with ID and other information reasonably required by us to verify any referral payment to be made and the person to whom any referral payment should be made. Failure to provide any information requested by us may lead to you losing your entitlement to referral payments in respect of the relevant Referred Creator.
  3. We may change any aspect of the Fan-Topia Referral Program (including how referral payments are calculated) or discontinue the Fan-Topia Referral Program at any time, but no change will deprive any Referring User of referral payments already earned based on Fan Payments made to Referred Creators before the changes came into effect.

Circumstances in which we may withhold referral payments:

We may withhold all or any part of the referral payments due to you but not yet paid out:

  • if we think that you have or may have seriously or repeatedly breached any part of the Terms of Service;
  • if you attempt or threaten to breach any part of the Terms of Service in a way which has or could have serious consequences for us or another User (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User); or
  • if we suspect that all or any part of the referral payments due to you result from unlawful or fraudulent activity, either by you, by the Fan who made the Fan Payment to the Referred Creator which resulted in the referral payment, or by the Referred Creator to whom the Fan Payment was made which resulted in the referral payment,
  1. We may also withhold all or any part of the referral payments due to you but not yet paid out if we receive notice that you have secured, encumbered, pledged, assigned, or otherwise allowed a lien to be placed on, referral payments. We undertake no duty to pay referral payments to third-party lienholders and may withhold payment of Creator Earnings until the lien has been removed.
  2. We shall not have any responsibility to you if we withhold or forfeit any payment due to you under the Fan-Topia Referral Program where we have a right to do so under these Referral Program Terms.
  3. If we are withholding all or any part of the referral payments due to you and we determine that part of the referral payments withheld by us is unrelated to breaches by you of the Terms of Service or suspected unlawful or fraudulent activity, then we may arrange for you to be paid the part of the referral payments which is unrelated to breaches by you of the Terms of Service or suspected unlawful or fraudulent activity. However, you agree that if we consider that your breach(es) of the Terms of Service has or may cause us loss, we may withhold all referral payments due to you but not yet paid and we may set off such amounts against any losses suffered by us.
