When you become a Member you will have a single account that is accessible by you from any of the Site (Member Account). Among other things, through your Member Account, you will be able to access a ledger which records payments by you to cmspro club (as a Buyer) and payments made by cmspro club to you (as a Seller or in accordance with clause 18) (Member Ledger).
13. Payments into and from Member Ledger
cmspro club is not a licensed financial service provider, nor does it conduct the business of banking in Canada and cmspro club provides its services as a cashier using a payment processing service rather than a banking service as defined in the Banking Act.
cmspro club is not providing a financial product or service as defined in the Corporations Act and nor is it acting as a fiduciary or an escrow with respect to your funds.
Payments that you make into your Member Ledger
You can make a payment into your Member Ledger to buy cmspro club Credits.
Any monies that you deposit into your Member Ledger must be used to pay for Products you buy on the Site.
cmspro club is not obliged to refund any monies that you deposit into your Member Ledger to buy cmspro club Credits to use as a Buyer. These cmspro club Credits in your Member Ledger, if not used for a period of 12 months, will be forfeited to cmspro club on the 12 month anniversary of that deposit. However, if you buy more cmspro club Credits by making a new deposit into your Member Ledger, before forfeiture of any unutilised cmspro club Credits, the balance of the payments that you have made into your Member Ledger (comprising both the new deposit and the balance of the previous cmspro club Credits) will be available for use by you for a period of 12 months from the date of the new deposit. To the extent that the new deposit is not used after the expiration of 12 months, it will be forfeited to cmspro club on the 12 month anniversary of that new deposit.
cmspro club may, but is not obliged to, warn you about the forfeiture before it occurs.
Payments made by cmspro club into your Member Ledger
You direct cmspro club to;
credit to your Member Ledger any amounts due to you in respect of sales of your Products on a Site; and
credit to your Member Ledger any Referral Commissions earned from referring new Members to the Site (in accordance with clause 18).
For the avoidance of doubt only credits for sales of Products by the Member and Referral Commission earned by the Member which appear on the Member Ledger will be payable to a Member. Any deposits made by the Member to the Member Ledger as a Buyer remain in the Member's Account and are not refundable.
Payments of Earnings out of your Member Ledger
cmspro club will pay to you amounts earned by you as a Seller and Referral Commissions earned by you in accordance with clause 18 (Earnings) subject to the following conditions:
You acknowledge that cmspro club reserves the right to pay any Earnings to you, at any time, at its sole discretion.
You ask cmspro club to hold all sums credited to your Member Ledger until such time as you request payment. You acknowledge that, unless cmspro club exercises its discretion to pay Earnings to you, it will continue to hold any Earnings until it receives your request for payment. Any activity on your Member Ledger such as purchases and sales will be taken to be a restatement and confirmation of this wish.
You must provide cmspro club with the correct account details and payment method when you want to receive a payout. cmspro club will make payments in regard to specific classes of sums as follows:
Sums under $50: cmspro club won't pay you if you have under $50 in your Member Ledger unless over 12 months have passed from either the date of your first sale or the date on which cmspro club last paid out Earnings. If this time frame is met, cmspro club will pay you using a Payment Agent (or, for sums over $20, Payoneer) on your request;
Sums over $50: If you have over $50 in your Member Ledger cmspro club will pay you using a Payment Agent or Payoneer on your request; and
Where you have $500 or more in your Member Ledger: cmspro club will pay you by Payment Agent, Payoneer or using electronic funds transfer on your request.
If cmspro club is unable to pay Earnings to you because:
we do not have the correct account details or EFT details;
we are unable to contact you using the contact details that you have supplied;
you have not made a request for payment; or
you are asking for payment to be made to a person, or to an institution in a country, that cmspro club is prohibited from making payments to at law or where there are limitations in the banking systems.
All Earnings will continue to be held by cmspro club in accordance with your instructions to hold all sums credited to your Member Ledger.
Other than as provided for in clause 13(i), cmspro club will not pay any Earnings standing to your credit in your Member Ledger which are less than $50.00 in total but you may use these to buy Products.
You must bear all expenses incurred by cmspro club in paying monies to you. Payments made via a SWIFT transfer incur a processing fee of $35 for each payment.
SWIFT, Payoneer and Payment Agent standard terms and conditions regarding refunds, chargeback, fees and unauthorised transactions will apply and you authorise cmspro club to automatically deduct such refunds, chargeback, fees and unauthorised transactions from the Member Ledger.
14. Buying Products
When you buy a Product, you acquire a license to use that Product from the Seller of the Product.
Products are subject to different terms of use – depending on the type of license that you choose when buying the Product.
The different types of licenses and the conditions of use are set out in the licensing page.
Depending on the use you want to make of a Product, you will need to select the correct license required by you. You are responsible for choosing, and warrant that you have chosen, the correct license to meet your requirements. You acknowledge that cmspro club has the right to enforce against you the terms of any license that you have from a Seller.
If you buy a Product, you do so on the following terms:
you cannot cancel an order for a Product once the order has been submitted;
cmspro club does not give any undertaking as to the continued availability of Products offered for sale on the Site;
once your order for a Product is accepted, and you pay the fee, you acquire a non-exclusive license to use the Product in accordance with the conditions of the license that you acquire;
ownership of the Product remains with the Seller;
payment of the fee will be made at the time of purchase; and
Sellers are not permitted to buy any of their own Products.
Refunds
Downloaded digital items will not be refunded except as required under the Canadian Consumer Law or relevant consumer protection laws.
If you want a refund or credit on a Product you must make a claim to Support. We will assess claims on their merits, with regard to the digital nature of the goods and any preview or inspection that was available before purchase.
There is no obligation to provide a refund or credit for reasons including (but not limited to) if you:
have changed your mind about a Product;
bought a Product by mistake;
do not have sufficient expertise to use the Product;
ask for goodwill; or
can no longer access a Product because it has been removed by its Seller from the Site (you are advised to download Products immediately upon purchase).
When a refund or credit has been assessed by us as due, this will be paid using the same manner of purchase (that is, if the Product was bought using cmspro club Credits, the Buyer will be refunded in cmspro club credits; if the Product was bought using a credit card via PayPal the Buyer will be refunded using that mechanism).
You acknowledge and agree that despite cmspro club's reasonable precautions, Products may be listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to a typographical error or similar oversight. In these circumstances, cmspro club reserves the right to cancel or reverse a transaction, even after your order has been confirmed and a payment has been processed. If a transaction is cancelled, cmspro club will promptly arrange for any payment to be credited or refunded.
You agree and acknowledge that if, as a Buyer, you lodge a dispute with PayPal we are unable to make any payment out of your Member Account until the PayPal dispute has been closed.

any dispute in relation to the Product has been resolved to the satisfaction of cmspro club; and

If after two years, the dispute has not been resolved, cmspro club will pay amounts standing to your credit in your Member Ledger to you in accordance with clause 13.
You acknowledge and agree that cmspro club will, in its sole discretion, determine the fee payable for each Product on the Site.
Products on Site are continuously reviewed to ensure the library remains consistent with cmspro club's latest quality and technical standards, currency of software and market trends.

cmspro club is not liable for any loss suffered by you as a result of a Buyer making use of a Product that you offer for sale on a Site contrary to the conditions on which the Product was sold to the Buyer.
Unless you elect to become an Exclusive Seller in accordance with clause 16, you are free to sell the Product on other web sites or through other outlets as you see fit.
You agree and acknowledge that cmspro club may use the whole or any part of a Product which you offer for sale at the cmspro club Marketplace to promote the Site.

You authorise cmspro club to submit a DMCA notice to others on your behalf regarding unauthorised use or copies of your Products made elsewhere (without obligation and at cmspro club's sole discretion).
15A. Special arrangements
Bundles
cmspro club may include your Products in promotions such as an cmspro club bundle (bundle). If your Product is selected to be part of a bundle, you'll be informed about how to calculate the revenue your Product can earn as a proportion of the total bundle when included in it, and any change of commission rate applying to your Product in the bundle. When you are notified of your Product's selection to be included as part of a bundle you will be told when the bundle offer will be run and how much time you have to opt out of the bundle. If you do not opt out within the time frame specified, you agree that your Product will be offered for sale as part of the bundle.
All specifics of bundles are made at our sole discretion (regardless of current commission rates, your sales or your exclusivity status). Sales of bundles will not be counted towards your marketplace sales for the purpose of calculating the marketplace commission on your non-bundle Products.
You acknowledge that it can take several weeks to process and apportion bundle payments and that your Member Ledger will not be credited immediately.
Special Deals
Sometimes we might negotiate volume or other arrangements with Buyers as part of our creation of business development opportunities for Sellers (special deals). You give us permission to negotiate special deals.
Changes to pricing: Special deals might involve Products being sold for prices that are different to the advertised prices on Site. This means that the fee payable to you is based on the revenue generated from the sales of your Products via our Site, which may not always be determined by reference to the advertised price.
Changes to commission: Special deals might also involve a change to the commission rate for a Product for a particular special deal (as well as the price). You will be given the opportunity to opt out of participating in a special deal that changes the commission rate for a Product selected for a special deal within the time frame we set out when we make the offer to you.
Additional license terms: Special deals might also involve you entering supplementary licensing arrangements to allow the Buyer to use your Product in particular ways. If these supplementary licenses are substantially different from the standard marketplace licenses, you will also be given the opportunity to opt out of participating in the special deal within the time frame we set out when we make the offer to you.
16. Exclusivity
You may elect to become an Exclusive Seller which means that you agree only to sell your Products through the Site and not through other web sites or other medium (Exclusive Seller).
In order to become an Exclusive Seller, you must elect to opt into the Exclusive Author Program through your Member Account.
For the avoidance of doubt, as an Exclusive Seller, you are still bound by these Membership Terms including the terms of clauses 15 and 15A which set out the obligations of Sellers generally.
17. Commissions
If one or more of your Products is sold over the Site, cmspro club will credit your Member Ledger with the balance of the fee received from the Buyer (that is the gross fee less cmspro club's commission).
You authorize cmspro club to collect and distribute such fees and commissions on your behalf.
The commission payable to cmspro club on each sale of a Product will vary according to whether or not you are a General Seller or an Exclusive Seller or whether you are participating in a special deal.
If you are an Exclusive Seller, cmspro club's commission for each of your Products that are sold over the Site will be calculated by reference to the Commission Table and by reference to the accumulated value of gross sales of your Products you have achieved over the Site (Lifetime Sales Volume).
Commission rates may be varied by cmspro club at its sole discretion, from time to time.
Any changes to the commission rates by cmspro club will take effect on and from the date on which notice of the variation is posted by cmspro club on the Site. (For commission rates on special deals, see clauses 15 and 15A.)

cmspro club's determination as to whether or not your use of the referral program is in breach of any applicable laws and/or these Membership Terms is final and binding.

The inclusion of a link to a Linked Site on a Site does not constitute or indicate any relationship between cmspro club and the operator of that Linked Site or any endorsement or sponsorship by cmspro club of that Linked Site.

While welcoming the contribution made by these third party developers cmspro club is not able to, and does not, warrant or endorse those applications and cannot be responsible for any interaction between you and a third party developer. cmspro club disclaims any liability so arising.
You will need to form your own view of the benefits to be derived from using any such applications and the reliability and trustworthiness of the third party developer.

cmspro club reserves the right, but does not have an obligation, to monitor and/or review all information and materials posted to the Site or through the Site, and cmspro club is not responsible for, and assumes no liability for, any such materials posted by users. However, cmspro club reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or government request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, that in cmspro club's sole discretion are objectionable or in violation of these Membership Terms, cmspro club's policies or applicable law.
cmspro club may also impose limits on certain features of the forums or restrict your access to part or all of the forums without notice or penalty if we believe you are in breach of these Membership Terms or applicable law, or for any other reason without notice or liability.
It is important to remember that comments submitted to a forum may be recorded and stored in multiple places, both on our Site and elsewhere on the Internet, which are likely to be accessible for a long time and you have no control over who will read them eventually.
It is therefore important that you are careful and selective about the personal information that you disclose about yourself and others, and in particular, you should not disclose sensitive, embarrassing, proprietary or confidential information in your comments to our public forums.
