We prohibit and do not recognize any purported transfers of Digital Items outside of the Service, or the purported sale, gift, or trade outside of an application of anything that appears or originates in the Service, unless otherwise expressly authorized by Relay in writing. Accordingly, you may not sublicense, trade, sell, or attempt to sell Digital Items for legal currency or exchange Digital Items for value of any kind outside of an application without Relay's written permission. Any such transfer or attempted transfer is prohibited, null, and void, and will subject your account to termination.

PURCHASES AND FEES
5.1. Payment Information and Taxes. All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Service must be accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all charges incurred by users of your credit card, debit card, PayPal, or other payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Service at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred.

5.2. Refunds. You may cancel your account at any time; however, there are no refunds for cancellation. In the event that Relay 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 Relay 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. In the event Relay makes an exception and issues a refund (which it is under no obligation to provide), you understand and agree that you must immediately retrieve and delete all relevant product files from any and all places you have distributed the files to and all computers you have downloaded them to. You also understand and agree that once a refund is requested, you are not permitted to exploit the product files in question, and immediately upon receipt of a refund, all licenses to such product files and underlying content are revoked, and you are not authorized to use the product in any form or for any purpose whatsoever. All refunds are at the sole discretion of Relay.
5.3. Purchases. In the Service you may purchase, with legal tender, a license to use Digital Items or other goods or services. You may also obtain a license to use Digital Items by redeeming digital currency. PURCHASES OR REDEMPTIONS OF THIRD PARTY DIGITAL CURRENCY TO ACQUIRE A LICENSE TO USE DIGITAL ITEMS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. For Digital Items, your order will represent an offer to us to purchase a license for the relevant services which may be accepted by us when we make the Digital Items available in your account for you to use in our applications or debit your credit card, whichever comes first. Your license to Digital Items for use in Relay applications is a service provided by Relay that commences upon acceptance by Relay of your purchase or redemption of third party digital currency. By ordering a license to use Digital Items you agree and accept that Relay will provide it to you promptly following completion of your purchase. If you reside in the European Union and you purchase a product or service from Relay, you may have the right to withdraw from a purchase within seven calendar days, commencing on the day after the date of purchase (the “Cooling Off Period”), but you lose your right of withdrawal if the performance of the services begins before the end of the Cooling Off Period. Therefore, if you purchase a license to use Digital Items from us, your right of withdrawal is lost as the performance of our services begins promptly once your purchase is completed.
5.4. Payment of Fees. You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using an account registered to you. Relay may revise the pricing for the goods and services it licenses to you through the Service at any time. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT RELAY IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED DIGITAL ITEMS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.

For the purposes of these Terms, "Intellectual Property Rights" means all patent rights, copyright rights, mask work rights, moral rights, rights of publicity, trademark, trade dress and service mark rights, goodwill, trade secret rights and other intellectual property rights as may now exist or hereafter come into existence, and all applications therefore and registrations, renewals and extensions thereof, under the laws of any state, country, territory or other jurisdiction. Relay reserves the right to ban or remove access to Service if you receive one or more copyright complaints against your listed Assets. You understand that publishing your Assets on the Service is not a substitute for registering it with the U.S. Copyright Office, the Writer's Guild of America, or any other rights organization. You affirm, represent and warrant the following:
- You have the full right, power and authority to enter into this agreement and to fully perform all of your obligations.
- Your Assets and all parts thereof are owned and controlled by, or licensed to you, and your use of the Service is permitted by applicable law and by all applicable rightsholders. You retain all Intellectual Property Rights to your posted Assets.
- If your Asset consists in whole or in part of design elements, fonts, clipart, sprites, vectors, brush tools and the like that are included in design programs by uploading such Assets to Relay, the end user license agreement, terms of service or the equivalent license held by you does allow you to incorporate such elements in the Assets created by you, and to license such Assets to Relay.

You also warrant that each such third party has released you from any liability that may arise in relation to such use.

- Relay may, in its sole discretion, provide you with optional recommendations to consider when creating your listings and may also by default use the recommended prices as the default prices for your Assets. If Relay uses the recommended prices as default prices for your Assets, you may opt-out of such default pricing and determine your own prices within your store settings area. Such recommendations and/or default pricing may be based on the aggregated sales and performance history of similar sold and current listings; results will vary for individual listings. Your use of pricing recommendations or default pricing is optional, at your own risk, and Relay does not warrant that such prices will be most effective for your Assets. You agree that you are not relying on any pricing recommendations from Relay.
- You agree to abide by any seller guidelines or policies set forth by Relay.
6.2. License Grant
6.2.1. To Relay. By posting any Assets on the Service, you expressly grant, and you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant, to Relay a royalty-free, sub-licensable, transferable, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, list information regarding, edit, translate, distribute, syndicate, publicly perform, publicly display, and make derivative works of all such Assets and your name, voice, and/or likeness as contained in your Asset, in whole or in part, and in any form, media or technology, whether now known or hereafter developed, for use in connection with the Service and Relay’s business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels.

You should review the Licenses carefully before uploading any Assets.
6.4. Asset Delivery. All Assets must be delivered immediately after purchase, with no barriers to immediate download. Whenever required all Asset files should be hosted on Relay. You must not require a Buyer to provide personal information in order to access licensed Assets.
6.5. Resolution Process for Transactions. All parties share the responsibility for making sure that purchases facilitated by our Service are satisfactory and hassle-free. Our Service hosts the resolution process for transactions when Buyers claim that their Asset was not received, or the Asset they received was different from what was described in the product listing. We may take a more active role in ensuring transaction problems are resolved; however, you understand that we are not obligated to do so. You agree to permit us to make a final decision, in our sole discretion, on any disputes. We reserve the right to fix any processing errors we discover by debiting or crediting Sellers earned credits balance.
6.6. Payouts & Earnings. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, Relay shall send requested payouts according to published timeframes, and in the method, you select during the payout setup process. Available payout methods are subject to change. Our current payment terms (rates, fees, etc.) are available here—you should check this link regularly as we may change these in our sole discretion at any time and such change will apply to all transactions that occur after the published change. Payout requests may only be made if the total amount due to you totals at least $20. Unpaid amounts due shall accrue until the next month in which the amount due is at least $20. Relay 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 Relay'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 canceled 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, you must notify Relay in writing within thirty (14) days of such payment. Failure to so notify Relay 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 Relay. No other measurements or statistics of any kind shall be accepted by Relay or have any effect under these Terms. We may withhold any taxes or other amounts from payments due to you as required by law. To protect against the risk of liability, we may request that our payment service provider hold Seller funds based on certain factors, including, but not limited to, selling history, seller performance, the riskiness of the listing category, or the filing of a dispute claim.

Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by going through customer support. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.
9.2. Arbitration Option. For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration.
