As used in the Agreement, “you” or “Customer” means the individual or the entity you are accessing the Portal on behalf of.

If you are accessing the portal by signing in, you are using the Schemon portal, referred as “user” in this Agreement. If you as a user are providing services over the Portal you are referred as a “Service Provider” and if you as a user are receiving services from a service provider over the Portal, you are referred as a “Service Provider Customer”.

4. Accounts

4.1 Account Types

Access to Schemon is done via two types of accounts with different abilities as defined in the subsections below.

Service Provider Account

A Service Provider Account is an account that is opened by a Service Provider with the explicit aim of providing services over Schemon. Thus Service Provider Accounts are used to create Channels and provide services over those Channels. A Service Provider Account can open multiple Channels.

Service Provider Accounts are linked to specific Subscription Plans. They can be paid (Business Plan or Enterpise Plan) or free (Freelancer Plan). Please see our Billing and Refund Policy as well as our Pricing Page for more information.

Channels that are created by Service Providers can be accessed by Service Provider Customers via self-registration, registration by the Service Provider of the Channel, by direct invitation of the Service Provider of the Channel or anonymously depending on the choices of the respective Channel owners, the Service Providers.

A Service Provider Account can act as a Service Provider Customer Account for a Channel that is not created or managed by this Service Provider Account. Thus, Service Providers do not need to create seperate accounts to be able to receive services over the Schemon Portal via different Service Providers.

Service Provider Customer Account

Service Provider Customer Accounts are Accounts created with the aim of receiving services over the Schemon Portal. Service Provider Customer Accounts are free accounts that are not linked to any Subscription Plan.

Service Provider Customer Accounts are not able to create Channels, they are mainly used to access Channels that are created by other Service Providers.

If in the future a Service Provider Customer wants to also provide services over Schemon, they can convert their Account to a Service Provider Account via their Account settings.

4.2 Account Eligibility

Age Limit

The Portal is available only for individuals aged 13 years or older. If the digital age of consent in your country is older, then that age is used as the limit.

If you are age 13 or older but under the age of 18, or the legal age of majority where you reside (if that jurisdiction has anolder age of majority), then you agree to review these Terms with your parent or guardian to make sure that both you and your parent or guardian understand these Terms and you agree to have your parent or guardian review and accept these Terms on your behalf.

If you are a parent or guardian and are agreeing to these Terms for the benefit of a child over the age of 13 (or the digital age of consent in your country, if older), then you agree to accept full responsibility for that child’s use of the Portal, including all financial charges and legal liability that they may incur.

We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to offer the Portal to any person or entity and change the eligibility criteria for using the Portal at any time. The right to access the Portal is revoked where the Agreement or use of the Portal is prohibited or to the extent any offer, sale or provision of the Portal conflicts with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

4.4 Signing Up

To access and use the Portal (as a Service Provider or Service Provider Customer), you must register for an account with Schemon (“Account”).

To complete your Account registration, you agree to provide us with complete and accurate information. Inaccurate information can cause your signup process to not complete or your Account to be disabled/banned. You also agree to keep that information current so that we can communicate with you about your Account.

We may need to send you notices about important updates or to inform you of legal inquiries we receive about your use of the Portal so you can make informed choices in response.

We encourage you to provide your own (or your company’s) contact and billing details, including your valid, current email address, as we may use it to identify and determine the actual and true owner of the Account and/or Content.

Schemon uses the primary email addess as the unique identifier (username) for your Account. Schemon reserves the right to reclaim usernames on behalf of businesses or individuals that hold legal claim or trademark to those usernames.

4.5 Primary Email Address

You must monitor the Primary Email Address you provide to Schemon and your Primary Email Address must be capable of both sending and receiving messages.

Your email communications with Schemon can only be authenticated if they come from your Primary Email Address.

If you lose access to your Primary Email Address, Schemon will not be able to authenticate your Account and you will permanently loose access to your Account.

You are strictly prohibited from sharing your Account credentials, including usernames and passwords with any third party or individual. Sharing account information is a violation of the Agreement and may result in immediate termination of your Account.

You agree that Schemon shall have no liability for any loss or damage resulting from your failure to maintain the security of your Account information.

4.7 Disputes

If there is a dispute about Account or Content ownership, we reserve the right to determine ownership based on our reasonable judgment in our sole discretion.

However, if we cannot make such a determination, we reserve the right to not intervene in the dispute, suspend any Account(s) involved in the dispute, and/or take down Content until the parties disputing ownership reach a resolution without liability to you or to any other party.

We may request documentation (government-issued ID, trademark certification, company registration information and similar) that may assist us in determining ownership.

Below is a non-exhaustive set of factors we will consider when determining proper ownership:

  • Schemon will consider the owner of an Account as the person or entity who has access to the Primary Email Address for such Account.
  • Schemon will consider the owner of Content as the person or entity who has access to the Primary Email Address for the Account under which such Content was created.
  • For Accounts that have paid any Fees or paid Plan, Schemon may consider the owner of such Account and/or Website Content created thereunder to be the person or entity whose billing details were used to pay such Fees or paid Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Schemon deems that the circumstances justify, Schemon shall have the exclusive right to adjudicate the ownership dispute of an Account and/or Content in its sole discretion based on any information in its possession, including the factors set forth above.

For the avoidance of doubt and for the purposes of this Agreement, Beta Services are not part of the Portal and your use of any Beta Services is entirely optional at your election.

12. Ownership Disputes

Sometimes ownership of an Account, Channel or Content is disputed between parties. Schemon tries not to get involved in these disputes and expects the parties to resolve issues on themselves.

Schemon reserves the right, at any time and in our sole discretion, and without notice to you, to determine the rightful owner and to transfer the relevant Account, Channel or Content to the party we determine to be the rightful owner.

Our decision in that respect is final. If we think that we cannot reasonably determine the rightful owner, we reserve the right to suspend or disable an Account and its related Content until the disputing parties reach a resolution.

We also may request documentation to help determine the rightful owner, including but not limited to a government-issued photo ID, credit card invoice, business information, trademark information or business license.

13. Billing, Payments, Payouts and Renewals

13.1 The PSP Infrastructure

Customers, may they be Service Providers or Service Provider Customers, may be required to provide their credit card or bank account details to the PSP over the Schemon Portal.

The PSP is a legal and authorized electronic money institution that has the appropriate rights to handle this kind of financial data. Schemon, as of now, is not an electronic money institution and has no right to directly collect or directly use this kind of data.

Due to this, Schemon does not collect or use your financial data and instead uses the services of a PSP for Payments and Payouts. The forms or web pages that are provided to you for financial transaction purposes are not hosted by Schemon, even though they appear integrated to the Portal, and instead they are provided by the PSP.

This in turn ensures that your Payments and Payouts are made with the appropriate security measures in place and in accordance with relevant regulations.

Your transactions are processed by the PSP in U.S. Dollars on the date the transaction is processed. If you pay in a currency other than U.S. Dollars (“Foreign Currency”), your currency will be converted to U.S.Dollars at the current exchange rate set by the PSP. If you pay in a Foreign Currency and request a refund, you may receive a refund amount that differs from your original payment amount. If this occurs, Schemon will be unable to adjust the refund amount you received. The difference in payment and refund amounts is caused by currency exchange rate fluctuations outside of Schemon’s control.

13.1.1 Stripe Service Agreement

Schemon uses Stripe as the PSP in most regions, unless otherwise stated. Schemon customers are subject to the “Stripe Full ServiceAgreement” shown below:

  • Payment processing services for you on Schemon are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to this agreement or continuing to operate as a customer on Schemon, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of Schemon enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide Schemon accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize Schemon to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.

In certain regions which Stripe is unable to provide full services, a limited use is available which is used for payouts only. For this, the “Stripe Recipient Service Agreement” is in force:

  • Schemon uses Stripe to make payouts to customers. The Stripe Recipient Agreement applies to your receipt of such Payouts. To receive payouts from Schemon, you must provide Schemon accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize Schemon to share it and transaction information related to your payout with Stripe.

13.2 Subscriptions and Add-ons

Service Providers are required to make payments to Schemon for:

  • Subscription Plans
  • Add-On Features

Subscription Plans can be paid on an annual or monthly basis. In case annual payments are made, Schemon requires Service Providers to make payments at the beginning of the one (1) year period. In case monthly payments are made, Schemon requires Service Providers to make payments at the beginning of each month.

Add-on Features can be one-off payments or additional subscriptions depending on the type of Add-on purchased. In case of a subsciption Add-on, the same rules for standard Subscription Plans apply. In case of a one-off payment, payment must be made before the Add-on is made available to you.

In case a subscription payment is failed, Schemon will inform you about the failure through your Primary Email Address. In case a subscription payment is not made, Schemon will inform you about the missing payment through your Primary Email Address. In both cases Schemon grants a wait period of five (5) business days for the payment to be completed. If payment is not received withing the five (5) business days, Schemon will suspend your Account and any access to your Channel or Conten.

13.3 Payments

A Payment, with capital P and as defined in this Agreement, is the Service Provider Customer paying for services received from a Service Provider for services provided over the Channel to the PSP.

Fees are deducted from Payments, some of which are collected by the PSP itself and some of which are transferred to Schemon. Payment Fees vary depending on the Subscription Plan of the Service Provider assosiated with the Channel and payment method chosen by the Service Provider Customer.

Schemon and/or the PSP communicates these Fees to the Service Provider at the beginning of their subscription period and at any change of the Fees. This communication is done through the Portal.

Service Providers have the ability to enable or disable payment methods that can be provided to their Service Provider Customers on their Channel.

13.4 Payouts

A Payout, with capital P and as defined in this Agreement, is the Service Provider receiving a certain amount of money, which may be a single Payment or accumulated Payments from the PSP.

Payments collected on the behalf of Service Providers from Service Provider Customers by the PSP are paid out to Service Providers depending on their opted Subscription Plan. Depending on the Subscription Plan, Payouts can be made daily, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly to Service Providers.

Fees are deducted from Payouts, some of which are collected by the PSP itself and some of which are transferred to Schemon. Payout Fees vary depending on the Subscription Plan of the Service Provider and Payout method chosen by the Service Provider.

Schemon and/or the PSP communicates these Fees to the Service Provider at the beginning of their subscription period and at any change of the Fees. This communication is done through the Portal.

Service Providers have the ability to select which Payout method should be used for a certain Payout.

13.5 Taxes

You are solely responsible for all federal, state and local taxes, including sales, use, VAT or similar transaction taxes imposed on your:

  • Subscription transactions,
  • Add-on transactions,
  • Payment transactions,
  • Payout transactions

unless you provide Schemon with a valid tax exemption certificate (“Taxes”). All Taxes payable by you will be separately stated and exclusive of the Fees.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will have no liability for taxes that are statutorily imposed on Schemon, including taxes or fees based on Schemon’s net or gross income.

21. Dispute Resolution

21.1 Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement (“Dispute”), you agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding.

Such informal negotiations will commence upon your written notice to Schemon.

Your address for any notices under the Agreement is your billing address, with an email copy to the email address you have provided to Schemon. Schemon’s address for such notices is Schemon, Inc.,Christiana Corporate Business Center, 200 Continental Dr, Suite 401, PMB 1578, Newark, DE, 19713, USA.

21.2 Binding Arbitration

If you and Schemon are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, all claims arising from use of the Portal (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS TO ARBITRATE, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVEA JURY TRIAL.

The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org.Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules (and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules). If your claim for damages does not exceed $10,000, Schemon will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and Schemon may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

21.3 Exceptions to Alternative Dispute Resolution

Each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court or to seek injunctive or other equitable relief on an individual basis in a federal or state court located within the District of Delaware with respect to any dispute related to the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights.

21.4 Waiver of Right to be a Plaintiff or Class Member in a Purported Class Action or Representative Proceeding

You and Schemon agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between Schemon and you individually. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND SCHEMON ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Schemon otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” Section will be deemed null and void.

21.5 Location of Arbitration

Arbitration will take place in Delaware. You and Schemon agree that for any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, the Delaware state and Federal courts located in Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction and you and Schemon agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

In any action to enforce the Term, the prevailing party shall be entitled to attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and costs.

You agree that Schemon's remedy at law for any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement would be inadequate and that Schemon shall be entitled to specific performance or injunctive relief, or both, in addition to any damages that Schemon may be legally entitled to recover, together with reasonable expenses of any form of dispute resolution, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees.

No right or remedy of Schemon shall be exclusive of any other, whether at law or in equity, including without limitation damages injunctive relief, attorneys' fees and expenses.

No instance of waiver by Schemon of its rights or remedies under these terms and conditions shall imply any obligation to grant any similar, future or other waiver.
