You further acknowledge that, by acceptance of your submission, CM does not waive any rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to CM, or developed by its employees, or obtained from sources other than you.

7. Creative Market Property

Certain aspects of the Service may allow you to obtain certain reputational or status indicators (for instance, "Karma Points") and/or purchase Service currency used to easily buy Goods (“Credits”) (collectively "Creative Market Property"). While the Credits you purchase do not expire, you acknowledge and agree that if your account becomes Inactive, CM may, without further notice to you, redeem all Credits remaining in your account for any other Creative Market Property that CM selects, in its sole discretion. For purposes of this Section 7, the term "Inactive" means that, based on CM’s records: (i) for a period of one (1) year, or more, you have not logged into your account on the Service; or (ii) despite commercially reasonable efforts, CM has been unable to contact you to verify that you intend to continue use of your account.

You understand and agree that regardless of terminology used, Creative Market Property represents a limited license right governed solely by the terms of these Terms and available for distribution at Creative Market's sole discretion. Creative Market Property is not redeemable for any sum of money or monetary value from Creative Market at any time. You acknowledge that you do not own the account you use to access the Service, nor do you possess any rights of access or rights to data stored by or on behalf of CM on CM servers, including without limitation any data representing or embodying any or all of your Creative Market Property.

All data on CM's servers are subject to deletion, alteration or transfer. Notwithstanding any value attributed to such data by you or any third party, you understand and agree that any data, account history and account content residing on CM's servers, may be deleted, altered, moved or transferred at any time for any reason in CM’s sole discretion, with or without notice and with no liability of any kind. CM does not provide or guarantee, and expressly disclaims, any value, cash or otherwise, attributed to any data residing on CM’s servers.

8. Listing Goods

By using the Service to sell one or more Goods, you agree to pay CM’s fees for such transaction, assume full responsibility for the content of the Goods offered, and accept that CM can’t guarantee exact listing durations.

If you are a "US Person" as such term is defined by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), a completed and signed IRS Form W-9 must be submitted to CM in order for CM to make payments to you. A W-9 is used to certify under penalty of perjury that your social security number is correct and that you are not subject to backup withholding taxes.

If you are a "Foreign Person" as such term is defined by the IRS, a signed and completed IRS Form W-8 must be submitted to CM in order for you to claim a reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding as a resident of a foreign country with which the United States has an income tax treaty. Foreign persons might be subject to U.S. income tax on income they receive from U.S. sources.

B. No Refunds. You may cancel your account at any time; however, there are no refunds for cancellation. In the event that CM suspends or terminates your account or these Terms for any reason, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any Creative Market Property, any credits you have saved, any license or subscription fees for any portion of the Service, any content or data associated with your account, or for anything else.

Payments shall only be made in those months in which the amount due to you totals at least $20 and, if less, when payment has been requested. Unpaid amounts due shall accrue until the next month in which the amount due is at least $20. CM reserves the right to withhold payment or charge back to your account any amounts otherwise due to us under these Terms, or amounts due to any breach of these Terms by you, pending CM's reasonable investigation of such breach. To ensure proper payment, you are solely responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment information associated with your account, which includes without limitation applicable tax information. If we believe that we are obligated to obtain tax information and you do not provide this information to us after we have requested it, we may withhold your payments until you provide this information or otherwise satisfy us that you are not a person or entity from whom we are required to obtain tax information. Any third-party fees related to returned or cancelled payments due to a contact or payment information error or omission may be deducted from the newly issued payment. You agree to pay all applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity in connection with your participation in the Service. If you dispute any payment made hereunder, you must notify CM in writing within thirty (30) days of such payment. Failure to so notify CM shall result in the waiver by you of any claim relating to such disputed payment. Payment shall be calculated solely based on records maintained by CM. No other measurements or statistics of any kind shall be accepted by CM or have any effect under these Terms. We may withhold any taxes or other amounts from payments due to you as required by law.

19. Arbitration   

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY; IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. 

For any claim, dispute, or controversy between you and us that arises out of, is related to or in connection with these Terms (individually a “Claim” and collectively “Claims”), you agree to first contact us at hello@creativemarket.com and attempt to resolve the Claim informally.  We hope we can resolve any Claim with you.  In the unlikely event that you and CM have not been able to resolve the Claim within sixty (60) days after you contact us, then you and we each agree to resolve the Claim by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then in effect for the AAA, except (i) for any and all Claims related to injunctive or other equitable relief and/or any dispute relating to the enforcement or validity of your, your licensors’, our, or our licensors’ Intellectual Property Rights (discussed below); (ii) the extent that arbitration clauses are prohibited by applicable law in jurisdictions outside of the United States; or (iii) you may file a Claim in small claims court if the Claim meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court. 

You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.  The arbitration will be conducted in San Francisco County, California, unless you and we expressly agree otherwise. If your Claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your Claim is for more than U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing, payment of filing fees and the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses will be governed by the AAA rules.  If we commence an arbitration, we will pay for all filing, AAA, and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. In any arbitration, the prevailing party will not seek to recover attorney’s fees or expenses unless the arbitrator finds the Claim to be frivolous or for an improper purpose.  The award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of that party’s data security, Intellectual Property Rights, or other proprietary rights.

ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE FILING PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS CM AGREES OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND CM ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.  If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then those parts won’t be arbitrated but will proceed in court, with the rest proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of Section 19 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed but the rest of Section 19 still applies.
