  1. By submitting the Content to us and assigning the rights of such Content exclusively to BPM in accordance with the terms and conditions set out herein, you shall be given the opportunity to receive a one-off fee in the sum of one hundred United Stated Dollars (USD$100.00) (the “Fee”). You hereby acknowledge the foregoing to be of good and valid consideration for all rights granted hereunder. The Fee shall only become payable if and when the Content has been uploaded on The Braddy Media official Facebook page, as seen at https://www.facebook.com/Mr.Braddy (the “Page”) for a period of seven (7) days or longer and as a standalone (i.e. not part of a montage consisting of two (2) or more pieces of content) (the “Use”). Should the Fee become payable, you shall notify BPM via email, website, by phone or via social media and ask BPM to disperse your payment after providing details and proof of submission by way of direct link to content uploaded to the “page”; and the Fee shall then be made to you within thirty (30) days following BPM’s receipt of such payment details from you. You shall provide BPM with the requested payment details within ninety (90) days, failing which the Fee shall no longer be payable. BPM shall not be liable for any late payment, should such late payment be due to your delay or failure to supply us with the required payment form. Should it arise that you have breached any of the terms set out in this Agreement (including the Warranties made by you herein) or if you fail to comply with your obligations under this Agreement, after the Fee has been paid to you by us, you shall be liable to return the Fee to us (in full and without any deductions of any kind whatsoever) within thirty (30) days of our notification of such breach to you in writing (which shall include email). You understand and agree that all the Terms set out in this Agreement and your assignment of all rights in and to the Content shall remain in full force and effect (and i.e. remain the property of BPM in full and without any limitations of any kind whatsoever) regardless of whether the Content is featured on the Page or not, and regardless of whether the Fee is paid. BPM shall not be obliged to use the Content and in the event that the Content is not used, BPM shall not be required to pay you the Fee, however the assignment of rights set out herein shall remain valid and binding in consideration of the opportunity provided to you. For the avoidance of doubt, should the Content be shared on any other properties owned by or run by BPM, the Fee shall not become payable. You understand that we may be required to deduct amounts from the Fee, if required by law (including but not limited to any form of tax) and that sums may be deducted from the Fee due to payment charges (including but not limited to bank and/or wire transfer fees, PayPal fees or other service fees). You understand and agree that the Fee under this Agreement includes a buy-out of any image rights, performance fees or union fees or residuals, which may otherwise be payable.
