You agree that the foregoing shall apply to you and to any persons featured within the Content and you have obtained required permissions from such persons in order to grant such rights to us. You authorize us to assign or sublicense any of the rights granted hereunder to any other third parties without any further payment to you.

By submitting the Content to us and assigning the rights of such Content exclusively to PROMiXX 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 Great British Pounds (GBP£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 PROMiXX - The Original Vortex Mixer Facebook page, as seen at https://www.facebook.com/promixx.mixers (the “Page”) for a period of forty eight (48) hours 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, PROMiXX shall notify you via email, by phone or via social media and ask you to provide your payment details; and the Fee shall then be made to you within thirty (30) days following PROMiXX’s receipt of such payment details from you. You shall provide PROMiXX with the requested payment details within ninety (90) days, failing which the Fee shall no longer be payable. PROMiXX 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 PROMiXX 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. PROMiXX shall not be obliged to use the Content and in the event that the Content is not used, PROMiXX 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 PROMiXX, 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).
