SCOPE OF OUR SERVICE
Btrendy is a company registered under the laws of Egypt, which keeps its accounts under the laws of Egypt, but it performs global activities.

Through the Website, Btrendy provides an online platform through which business entities or private individuals (the “Brands”) can contract content creators/advertisement providers (the “Influencers”) (Brands and Influencers together shall be referred to as “Users” or “User” respectively) to advertise their services, products or events by way of posting a required content (the “Content”) onto the Influencer’s social media profiles operated by third party providers.

By accepting a booking for a Content (“Campaign”) through Btrendy, the Influencer enters a direct (legally binding) contractual relationship with the Brand which books the Influencer with regards to the relevant Content. We act solely as an intermediary between the Influencer and the Brand. Btrendy also serves as the limited authorized payment collection agent of the Influencers for the purpose of collecting and remitting, on behalf of the Influencers, payments from Brands.

SUBSCRIPTION PACKAGES
The Brand can only use the Service of Btrendy with a monthly subscription (“Subscription”), which can be selected by the Brand from the below opportunities during the registration procedure. Based on the chosen monthly subscription, the Brand should pay a defined monthly fee in consideration for using the Service of Btrendy.

In consideration for the use of the Btrendy online marketplace and Website, Btrendy charges the Brand for the service fee (“Service Fee”), which is charged excluding VAT.

Btrendy charges the Service Fee in excess of the Influencer Fee and separately remits the Influencer Fee to the Influencer as described in these Terms. Therefore, the Service Fee is not included in Influencer Fee. The Service Fee depends on the type of the monthly subscriptions.

Your Subscription will automatically renew at the end of the applicable subscription period, unless you suspend or close it before the end of the current subscription period. The suspend or close will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period. If you suspend your account, you can reactivate it later, and Btrendy will charge your credit card with the Subscription fee. If you close your account, you will not be able to use the Service of Btrendy. You acknowledge, that in case you miss the suspend or close of your Subscription, the Btrendy shall not refund the subscription fee. IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FURTHERMORE AND THE MONHTLY CHARGE, YOU MUST SUSPEND OR CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT.

Btrendy informs the Brand that there are special services which can be used in each subscription package. The Pricing Quote shall include the detailed conditions of that.

NON-CIRCUMVENTION
All Users shall honor the business and clients of Btrendy. In circumstances upon which Influencers and Brands are first introduced to each other by Btrendy, Influencers may not attempt to contact any Brand directly, or vice versa, in order to engage in any activity that might adversely affect Btrendy’s business, while Influencers and Brands shall not attempt to negotiate terms directly with each other, for a period of at least 60 (sixty) days following their initial contact.

Failure by any Users to meet the above criteria shall result in the Users in question having an obligation to pay a penalty and/or the temporary or permanent suspension or termination of access to the Service imposed upon them.

The amount of the penalty for Users for breach of the non-circumvention provisions shall amount to 50% of the campaign budget of the Brand concerned with the default. The Brand and the Influencer in breach shall be jointly and severally liable for such breach. Btrendy is entitled to set off its claim for a penalty against any outstanding and/or future claim of the Users.

If the Influencer sets the Influencer Fee as a PAY PER ENGAGEMENT Fee, then he or she has to give a unit price for the Influencer Fee according to the following: per (i) number of likes or retweets, (ii) number of comments or (iii) number of shares (together: “Performance Indicators”). In the case of a Success Fee, Btrendy will, after 72 hours from the time when the relevant Content has been placed, check the actual (i) number of likes or retweets; (ii) number of comments; or (iii) number of shares that the Influencer has achieved by that time, and will then use a simple multiple of the unit price and the number of the applicable Performance Indicators to calculate the actual sum of the payable Influencer Fee.

At the time of the confirmation of the booking We will block a Security Deposit (see the below Security Deposit policy) on the Brand’s payment card or bank account (see the below Security Deposit policy) and will release the blocked amount upon such Brand’s confirmation of the delivered Content, while simultaneously debiting the actual payable Success Fee to be remitted to the applicable Influencer (or releasing such pre-authorization subject to Our refund policy) as described in these Terms.

Btrendy will also collect a Security Deposit in case the Influencer Fee is set at a fixed rate at the time of the booking confirmation (i.e. when the Brand confirms the booking). Btrendy will release the corresponding Security Deposit and initiate the actual payout of the Influencer Fee to the Influencer within 3 business days (“Fast payment”) of when the Brand confirms the relevant Content (except to the extent that a refund is due to the Brand in line with Our Cancelation and Refund Policy). In the event of a Fast payment, Btrendy is entitled to deduct 4% as consideration for its immediate processing of payment. Additionally, the other payment method is when Btrendy releases the corresponding Security Deposit and initiates the actual payout of the Influencer Fee to the Influencer’s bank account within 30 calendar days (“Slow payment”) after the confirmation of the Brand. In the event of a Slow payment, Btrendy will not deduct any consideration in line with the actual payout of the Influencer Fee to the Influencer’s bank account, except with regards to the use of third-party payment processors, in which case Btrendy is entitled to keep 5%. The actual time it takes for the Influencer to receive payouts may depend upon the payout method chosen by the Influencer. All methods involve the use of third-party payment processors (e.g. PayPal, bank wire transfer by Currency Cloud, Payoneer) who may impose their own additional charges for the use of their services on the Influencer, including by deducting their charges from the payout amount. Payments of Content Fees collected from the Brands will be facilitated and paid out to Influencers by means of secure online payment through these third-party payment processors (all to the extent offered and supported by the Influencer’s bank and card issuer).

Each Influencer hereby appoints Btrendy as the Influencer’s limited payment collection agent, solely for the purpose of accepting the Influencer Fees from the Brands and to facilitate the payments to the account of the Influencer in accordance with these Terms.

Each Influencer agrees that any payment made by a Brand through Btrendy shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Influencer, and the Influencer will complete the Content for the Brand in the agreed-upon manner as if the Influencer has received the Influencer Fee directly. Each Influencer agrees that Btrendy may, in accordance with the Cancelation and Refund Policy defined below, permit the Brand to cancel the booking as specified in Our cancelation policy. By accepting the Terms, each Influencer understands that Btrendy collects and pays out payments to the Influencers as the Influencer’s limited payment collection agent and that Btrendy’s obligation to pay the Influencer is subject to and conditional upon successful collection of the associated payments from the Brands. Btrendy does not guarantee payments to Influencers for amounts that have not been successfully received by Btrendy from Brands.

An Influencer who is connected to a Talent Manager shall acknowledge that the Talent Manager can give the proportion according to which the income shall be divided between the Talent Manager and the Influencer.

The Influencer additionally acknowledges that it is an option to directly pay the Influencer Fee to the Talent Manager, and in that case the Talent Manager will pay directly to the Influencer.

The Influencer furthermore acknowledges that the payment option shall be chosen by the Talent Manager unilaterally.

C) FINANCIAL TERMS FOR BRANDS
The Influencers, not Btrendy, are solely responsible for honoring any confirmed bookings and delivering the booked Content in the required manner, time and place as Brands instruct them during the bookings. If you, as a Brand, choose to enter into a transaction by making a booking with an Influencer for specified Content, you agree and understand that you will enter into an agreement with the Influencer and you agree to accept the current Terms associated with such bookings. You acknowledge and agree that the Influencer, and not Btrendy, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such booking, and that Btrendy is not a party to such booking, and that, with the exception of its payment obligations hereunder, Btrendy disclaims all liability arising from or related to the performance of any Content and its associated arrangements. You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the fact that Btrendy is not a party to the agreement between you and the Influencer, Btrendy acts as the Influencer’s payment collection agent for the limited purpose of accepting payments from the Brand on behalf of the Influencer. Upon the Brand’s payment of the Influencer Fee through Btrendy, the Brand’s payment obligation to the Influencer for the Content Fees is extinguished, and Btrendy is responsible for remitting the Influencer Fees, in the manner described in these Terms. In the event that Btrendy does not remit any such amounts as described in these Terms, such Influencers will have recourse only against Btrendy.

The payable Influencer Fees and payment methods (fixed or success fee) will be displayed to the Brand before the Brand sends a booking request to an Influencer. The Influencer is required to either confirm or reject the booking request.

You as a Brand agree to pay for the Influencer Fee (subject to the below Cancelation and Refund Policy) for any booking requested in connection with Content required by the selected Influencer, if such requested booking is confirmed and delivered by the applicable Influencer. In order to establish a booking pending the applicable Influencer’s confirmation of your requested booking, you understand and agree that Btrendy, on behalf of the Influencer, reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to obtain a pre-authorization, via your payment card, for the Influencer Fee. Brands shall provide the details of their payment card or other payment details. Btrendy will verify: (i) the validity of the payment card and (ii) the availability of funds on the payment card related to the particular Influencer Fee to be confirmed electronically by the bank issuing the Brand’s credit or bank card by blocking a nominal value (1 US dollar or a similar sum in the currency in which you are transacting) and if the card issuer approves the transaction, the available line of credit or outstanding balance on a debit account will be reduced by this amount (this pre-authorization is then immediately lifted after successful validation).

In connection with your requested booking, you will be asked to provide customary billing information, such as name, billing address and credit or bank card information, either to Btrendy or its third-party payment processor(s). You agree to pay the Influencer Fee for any confirmed bookings made in connection with your Btrendy Account in accordance with these Terms. You hereby authorize the collection of such amounts through the charging of the provided payment card via a third-party online payment processor. You also authorize Btrendy to charge your payment card or bank account for security deposits, if applicable (see below). If you are directed to Btrendy’s third-party payment processor(s), you may be subject to terms and conditions governing the use of that third party’s service and that third party’s personal information collection practices. Please review such terms and conditions and privacy policy before using the services.

Once you, as a Brand, confirm booked Content as completed and delivered according to your instructions, you and the applicable Influencer will receive a confirmation email sent by Us summarizing the confirmed Content and notifying the respective Users about the pay-out of the collected Influencer Fee.

Security Deposits
Btrendy will apply a Security Deposit for processing bookings.

In the case of a Success Fee, the actual amount of the Security Deposit is defined as the simple multiple of (i) the unit price set by the Influencer for the relevant type of Performance Indicator and accepted by the Brand, and (ii) the average number per piece of Content of that Performance Indicator historically achieved by the Influencer on his or her respective social media profile(s). The amount of the Security Deposit will be blocked at the time the applicable Influencer confirms the booking and such pre-authorization will be released 24 hours after the time when the booked Content was placed, while simultaneously Btrendy will, in its capacity as the payment collection agent of the Influencer, charge the Brand for the amount of the payable Success Fee administering the Influencer fee due to the Influencer.

For the fixed rate Influencer Fee, the Security Deposit will be calculated as 100% of the actual Influencer Fee set by the Influencer. Similar to the Success Fee option defined above, the amount of the Security Deposit will be blocked at the time when the applicable Influencer confirms the booking. Such pre-authorization will be released as soon as the Brand confirms the performance of the booked Content while, simultaneously, Btrendy will, in its capacity as the payment collection agent of the Influencer, charge the Brand for the amount of the payable Influencer Fee administering the Influencer Fee due to the Influencer.

D) FINANCIAL TERMS FOR TALENT MANAGERS
For Talent Managers, the Service of Btrendy can only be used after registration. The Talent Managers can connect the influencers to their management account and, based upon the number of the connected influencers, the Talent Manager shall be obliged to pay a fee in consideration for using the Service of Btrendy as follows:

There is a trial (“Trial”) option for the BOUTIQUE package, which lasts for 7 days, in order to allow a potential customer to try the Services of Btrendy. For the Trial, we’ll require you to provide your payment details to start the Trial. By providing such details you agree that we may automatically begin charging you for the Subscription on the first day following the end of the Trial, on a recurring monthly basis or upon the basis of another interval that we disclose to you in advance. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THIS CHARGE, YOU MUST CLOSE OR SUSPEND YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE THE END OF THE TRIAL.

ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
By using the services of Btrendy, the Influencers must accept the present Terms and Conditions, however in case there are additional conditions for the Brand the Influencers shall be obliged to accept those too before accepting a Campaign. These additional conditions shall form a part of the contract concluded between the Brand and the Influencer.

Btrendy furthermore informs the Influencer that, in case these additional conditions are not accepted by the Influencer directly, but the Influencer fulfills the booking and makes the required Content, the Parties shall consider these additional conditions accepted and, in the event that these additional conditions are breached by the Influencer, the Influencer shall be responsible for said breach.

REGULATIONS FOR NETWORKS
Btrendy states that it has a right to modify the current Terms or to apply a different Terms of Services in relation to an Influencer who belongs to a network which is subject to a global legal relationship with Btrendy. In such a case, an additional Terms of Service shall apply.

The Networks shall send an invitation to the Influencer(s) that they represent or have a legal relationship with, and the influencer(s) will need to approve the invitation to allow the Networks to access their account. Once accepted, the Influencers account will be linked with the Networks account. Concurrently with the approving, the Influencer may be obliged to accept the additional Terms of Service, and without such acceptance the linking up procedure cannot succeed.

In any case, if the relationship between the Networks and the Influencer terminates, the Networks can un-link the account of the Influencer with its own account, and in that case the additional Terms of Service will no longer be applicable for the Influencer and the Influencer shall be obliged to accept the standard Terms of Services.

RIGHTS OF THE NETWORKS:
The Networks shall be entitled to

create campaigns in their own discretion according to the regulations applicable for the Brands; check and manage the campaigns of the Influencer(s) that they represent or have a legal relationship with;
control and oversee the campaigns of the Influencer(s) that they represent or have a legal relationship with;
allocate payment splits and handle all the payments of the Influencer(s) that they represent or have a legal relationship with;
represent the Influencer(s) that they represent or have a legal relationship with before third parties (including the Btrendy and the Brands);
communicate on behalf of the Influencer(s) that they represent or have a legal relationship with; impersonate the Influencer(s) that they represent or have a legal relationship with in their account;
Modify the profile settings and details of the Influencer(s) that they represent or have a legal relationship with.
FOREIGN CURRENCY
All the Influencers and Brands can choose their own currency for fees settlement during the registration procedure, so it is not necessary to settle an account in PLN.
The costs of any exchange rate loss shall be borne by the Influencers and Brands.

Influencers may prefer to display and receive an Influencer Fee in different currencies, which may require foreign currency conversions to accommodate these differing currency preferences.

Each foreign currency conversion is processed at a foreign currency conversion rate (the “Exchange Rate”, meaning a system-wide rate used by Btrendy for foreign currency conversion that is in effect at the time the foreign currency conversion is processed, and does not include any fee or mark-up; Btrendy establishes the Exchange Rate using data from one or more third parties, such as Open Exchange Rates – https://openexchangerates.org/). Brands and Influencers acknowledge that whichever currency the Influencer displays his or her Influencer Fee in, Btrendy will convert all payment transactions into PLN. Accordingly, Btrendy will convert the payable Influencer Fees into PLN at the prevailing Exchange Rate at the time of collecting the actual amount from the Brand, and will debit the Brand the amount denominated in PLN. The Commission will be calculated and converted likewise into PLN at the Exchange Rate prevailing at the time of the collection of the Influencer Fee.

Since every payout method selected by the Influencer involves certain third-party payment processors (such as PayPal), (i) Btrendy will send the applicable Influencer Fee (minus the actual Transaction Fee) to the processor in PLN, (ii) the Influencer will be able to view the Influencer Fee sent by Btrendy in PLN in his or her transaction history, and (iii) the processor will calculate the actual payout of the Influencer Fee to the Influencer by applying its own foreign currency conversion rate for PLN to the payout currency that the Influencer set as their Base Currency.

When a booked piece of Content is not delivered by the Influencer, and there has already been a foreign currency conversion when the booking was submitted which resulted in the Brand’s bank account or payment card being charged by Btrendy, a refund to the Brand will be processed at the same rate as applied to the earlier payment by the Brand.

When you as a Brand submit a booking request, you will be able to view the actual exchange rate used to calculate the Influencer Fee in PLN on Our site.

Please note that your payment company (for example, your credit or bank card issuer) will use a currency conversion rate for and may impose a currency conversion fee on your payment or payout, if your card or bank account is denominated in a currency that is different from PLN. Similarly, third-party payment processors may also use a currency conversion rate for or impose a currency conversion fee on your payment or payout. All of these currency conversion rates and fees are not controlled by or known to Btrendy.

CANCELATION OF BOOKING AND REFUND POLICY
If, as a Brand, you wish to cancel a confirmed booking made via the Website – due to a cause other than an Event of Default as defined below – you hereby agree that you shall pay all fees and costs that are due in accordance with these Terms.

Subject to the above paragraph, if, as a Brand, you wish to cancel a confirmed booking before the Content is completed by the Influencer, you shall immediately report your intention to Us in accordance with the current Terms. Btrendy will use its commercially reasonable efforts to address the Brand’s cancelation request by notifying the Influencer without delay. The Influencer, upon receiving the notification on cancelation, shall use its best endeavors not to complete the Content concerned by the cancelation. Btrendy will not be responsible for any damages related to the Influencer’s non-compliance with such a request, and disclaims any and all liability in this regard. Influencers will not be liable for making a piece of Content after a confirmed booking, as long as they comply with the Brand’s booking instructions and these Terms.

The Brand shall not pay any fee and the Influencer does not become entitled to any consideration if the relevant Content is not delivered, or it is delivered but not according to the current terms and the specific instructions given by the Brand, and the Brand explicitly refuses to accept the Content.

Such Content is deemed as not being in compliance with the relevant Btrendy policy and as such does not need to be honored by the Brand, thus consequently the related pending payment of the Influencer Fee shall not be payable to the Influencer if the following conditions are not met (“Events of Default” or “Event of Default”):

the booked Content is delivered on time as set by the Brand during the booking and as indicated in the Brands’ profile page related to that booking;
the Content is made on the required social media platform(s) as set by the Brand during the booking and as indicated in the Brands’ profile page related to that booking;

If the relevant mandatory field is filled in by the Brand during the booking set-up process for a specific piece of text that is required by the Brand to be included in the Content, then such text shall be displayed in the Content by the Influencer quoted word-for-word.
In case any Event of Default occurs, Btrendy excludes any and all liability towards the Brand affected by such Event of Default.
In case any Event of Default occurs, the Influencer shall pay a penalty to Btrendy amounting to the Commission Fee that would have been paid to Btrendy by the Brand for the respective Content. Btrendy has the right to set off its claim for a penalty against any outstanding and/or future claims of the Influencer.

The provision of incorrect bank, debit or credit card details or invalid credit/debit cards is at your own risk and account and you shall not be entitled to any compensation for any delay or error in payment processing due to incorrect, insufficient or invalid bank, debit or credit card details.
