The license ends when the content is validly removed or the relevant agreement terminates, subject to lawful record retention, technical backup periods and any rights expressly agreed separately. 9. Creator Monetization Approved Creator Channels may participate in FILMZED+ subscription-based monetization programs. 9.1 Individual Creator Channel Subscriptions FILMZED+ proposes a monthly subscription price of K5 for viewers wishing to access one individual paid Creator Channel. This is the viewer subscription charge and does not represent a guaranteed K5 payment to the Creator. Creators participating in this program will receive the agreed percentage of qualifying net subscription revenue attributable to their channel, as specified in the accepted Creator Monetization Terms. 9.2 All-Access and Family Subscriptions Creator Channels may also earn from qualifying activity by subscribers using eligible All-Access and Family plans. The portion of bundled subscription revenue allocated to Creator Channels will be determined using the platform's documented attribution methodology.

Earnings and Payments Creators may earn revenue only after being approved for the relevant monetization program and completing required verification. Earnings are based on actual eligible revenue generated under the accepted monetization terms. FILMZED+ will maintain payment records and provide Creators with available earning statements. Payment dates, minimum thresholds and supported withdrawal methods will be established in the applicable Creator Monetization Terms before paid monetization begins. Earnings may be adjusted for documented refunds, chargebacks, fraud or calculation errors in accordance with those terms.

Content Moderation and Violations FILMZED+ may review uploaded material through automated systems, human review or reports from users. When content or conduct violates platform policies, FILMZED+ may take appropriate action, including: First-level action: A warning, correction request or content restriction where the violation can reasonably be corrected.

Creator Channel Suspension and Termination Creators may request to close their channels and end their participation in the Creator program through supported account controls or an official support request. FILMZED+ may suspend or terminate Creator privileges where a Creator materially violates this Agreement, engages in fraud, repeatedly infringes intellectual property rights or presents a serious platform safety risk. Where reasonably possible, FILMZED+ will provide notice and an opportunity to respond or remedy a correctable violation. Channel termination does not automatically extinguish legitimate outstanding earnings. Access to paid content following termination, cancellations and any subscriber refunds will be handled under the applicable subscription and monetization terms. 15. Privacy and Creator Analytics FILMZED+ may process Creator information and platform usage data for legitimate functions such as account administration, identity verification, content delivery, fraud prevention, monetization calculations and audience analytics. Creator Studio may display aggregate analytics such as viewing activity, watch duration, subscriber trends and audience demographics, where lawful and available. Creators must not use platform information to harass, identify, track or unlawfully profile individual viewers. Personal data will be processed in accordance with the FILMZED+ Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. Sensitive or identifying viewer information shall not be provided to Creators merely because they own a channel. 16. No Guaranteed Earnings FILMZED+ does not guarantee any Creator a fixed salary, number of subscribers, monthly income, promotional placement or minimum audience size. Actual earnings depend on the Creator's monetization eligibility, qualifying subscriber activity, agreed revenue-sharing terms and applicable payment calculations. The publication of content or approval of a channel does not automatically create a payment entitlement. 17. Changes to the Agreement FILMZED+ may revise this Agreement where necessary to improve the service, address safety concerns, introduce features or meet applicable legal obligations. Material changes will be communicated to affected Creators through appropriate platform notifications or registered contact details. Changes to accepted monetization percentages or payment calculations must follow the agreed amendment procedure and must not retrospectively reduce legitimate accrued earnings. Where legally required, FILMZED+ will obtain renewed acceptance before material changes take effect. 18. Disputes and Governing Law This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Republic of Zambia, subject to any mandatory legal protections applicable to relevant parties. Creators should first submit complaints or disputes through the official FILMZED+ support and appeals process. FILMZED+ will make reasonable efforts to review complaints and resolve disputes fairly. Nothing in this Agreement excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded. 19.
