Fiitgcustom has no control over the quality, safety, morality or legality of any aspect of the Marketplace Products sold to you by a Maker, the truth or accuracy of the listings, or the ability of the Maker to sell that product.

through the tools available on the Site. You understand and agree that Fiitgcustom is only a venue for these transactions, and as such, you enter into these transactions at your own risk.

20. Correction of Errors and Inaccuracies
20.1. The information and Product listings on this Site may contain design or typographical errors or inaccuracies and may not be complete or current. We therefore reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update information or Content at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your order). Please note that such errors, inaccuracies or omissions may relate to Product design, description, pricing and availability. We also reserve the right to limit or restrict quantities of Products (including after you have submitted your order) for any reason, including, without limitation, if the Product violates any terms of this Agreement.
20.2. In the event a Product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error or error in pricing or Product information
received from our partners, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for Products listed at the incorrect price. We shall have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and you have been charged for the sale. If you have already been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled, we shall immediately issue a credit to your credit card account or refund the amount in the manner in which the purchase was made by you. If we have overcharged for any product, we will issue a refund to you for the difference between what you were charged and the correct price of the relevant product.
21. Pricing, Shipping, and Terms of Sale:
Prices for Products are described on the Site and are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. All prices are in U.S. dollars. Prices and Products may change at Fiitgcustom's discretion. Fiitgcustom may offer promotional discounts from time-to-time. You must agree to the terms of the promotion in order to be given the discount, and Fiitgcustom reserves the right to not honor promotional codes if we reasonably suspect abuse.

necessary for you to select another payment method.
23.3.2. Provide All Necessary Information: You must provide Fiitgcustom with all information necessary to process your Earnings payment (e.g., relevant tax
information, proper PayPal account information).
23.3.2.1. In the event you have not provided us with this information, Fiitgcustom may withhold payments until you have provided all necessary information.
23.3.2.2. In the event that a check sent to the address listed as the payee address in your Account is returned as undeliverable, Fiitgcustom may withhold further payments until you have corrected or updated your address.
23.3.3. Have a Non-Negative Earnings Balance: If your payable Earnings become negative (including but not limited to for any of the following reasons), Fiitgcustom reserves the right to not pay you Earnings until (i) your payable Earnings increase to the point where they become positive, and (ii) they become otherwise payable under the provisions of this Section 23:
23.3.3.1. If any of your Earnings are associated with Products that are or are alleged to be infringing of a third party's rights or are otherwise in violation of the
Policies, Fiitgcustom may do any of the following without providing a warning or prior notice: (i) deduct the associated Earnings from your Account; (ii) suspend your Account and payment of any Earnings; or (iii) deduct all Earnings and terminate your Account, if we determine (in our sole discretion) that you are a repeat infringer (See Section 27.9 hereof and our Designer License Agreement).
23.3.3.2. In the event that an order for which you were paid Earnings is either cancelled, returned or refunded for any reason, or if Products that generated a
referral fee are returned by the User, Fiitgcustom will deduct the relevant amount from your Earnings.
23.4. Payment Timing:
23.4.1. Once Earnings are Earned and Payable, payment will be made within forty-five (45) days after the end of the relevant month.

23.6. Earnings in currencies other than your selected payment currency: (i) will be converted to your payment currency and are subject to foreign currency conversion fees; (ii) may be subject to Payment Thresholds, Processing Fees, and/or Non-Contributing Account Fees that are slightly different than the equivalent of what is detailed herein, due to currency conversion rates and/or the selected payment currency.
21. Non-Contributing Account Fees
24.1. You, Fiitgcustom and the Site thrive best when we all contribute to provide the best Content and features to Users. As a result, your Account will be deemed a "Non-Contributing Account" if you haven't either (i) published a Public Product, or (ii) had a Referral Sale (as defined in the Associates Agreement) attributed to your Account in the previous fifteen (15) month period.
24.2. Your Account may be deemed "contributing" again at any time, once you publish a Public Product or have a Referral Sale attributed to your Account.
24.3. Non-Contributing Accounts are subject to a monthly Non-Contributing Account fee ("Non-Contributing Account Fee"):
24.3.1. Fiitgcustom will determine if your account is subject to the Non-Contributing Account Fee on midnight PST/PDT of the last day of the previous calendar month. For example, if your account is determined to be a Non-Contributing Account as of January 31st, but is deemed contributing again on February 1st, you will still be charged the Non-Contributing Account Fee in February.
24.3.2. If applicable, the Non-Contributing Account Fee will be deducted from your Account's Earned and Payable Earnings prior to when Earnings are paid.
24.3.3. Once a Non-Contributing Account Fee has been deducted from your Account's Earned and Payable Earnings, this deduction cannot be reversed or refunded.
24.3.4. Non-Contributing Account Fees cannot cause an Account's Earned and Payable Earnings to become negative, so in the event that Earned and Payable Earnings are insufficient to cover the relevant Non-Contributing Account Fee being assessed, Earned and Payable Earnings will be deducted until the balance is equal to zero.

Fiitgcustom has no control over the quality, safety, morality or legality of any aspect of the Marketplace Products sold to you by a Maker, the truth or accuracy of the listings, or the ability of the Maker to sell that product.

If you participate as a Designer or Associate (as both terms are defined in the Designer License Agreement), only if and when Fiitgcustom determines that your Account and Stores have remained in compliance with the Policies (as defined in Section 1.2 hereof) for the entirety of the period for which payment is made and through to the date that the payment is issued, Fiitgcustom will pay royalties, referral fees, volume bonus and any other compensation owed to you (collectively, "Earnings"), subject to the following:
23.2. Fiitgcustom maintains a statement of your Earnings. You may check your statement in the "My Account" section of your Account.
23.3. When Earnings are Earned and Payable: The following conditions must be met before Earnings are earned and payable by Fiitgcustom to you ("Earned and Payable"):
23.3.1 Payment Threshold: Your Earnings must meet a Payment Threshold for the payment method you have chosen on your Payment Settings page (e.g., check or PayPal).
23.3.1.1. "Payment Thresholds" mean (i) $100 for payments by check and (ii) $50 for payments using PayPal. Payment Thresholds are subject to change at any time or from time-to-time, in our sole and absolute discretion. You will be notified of any change in the Payment Thresholds.
23.3.1.2. You may request payment of your Earnings even if you have not met the Payment Thresholds, subject to payment of the following processing fees: $5.00 for any check under $100; or $2.50 for any PayPal transaction under $50 (collectively, "Processing Fees").
23.3.1.3. Fiitgcustom, in its discretion, may change the methods of payment that are available, and certain methods of payment may not be available for all balances.
23.3.1.4. Fiitgcustom is subject to PayPal regulations and service restrictions – if PayPal does not provide service to you or within your desired country, it will be
necessary for you to select another payment method.
23.3.2. Provide All Necessary Information: You must provide Fiitgcustom with all information necessary to process your Earnings payment (e.g., relevant tax
information, proper PayPal account information).
23.3.2.1. In the event you have not provided us with this information, Fiitgcustom may withhold payments until you have provided all necessary information.
23.3.2.2. In the event that a check sent to the address listed as the payee address in your Account is returned as undeliverable, Fiitgcustom may withhold further payments until you have corrected or updated your address.
23.3.3. Have a Non-Negative Earnings Balance: If your payable Earnings become negative (including but not limited to for any of the following reasons), Fiitgcustom reserves the right to not pay you Earnings until (i) your payable Earnings increase to the point where they become positive, and (ii) they become otherwise payable under the provisions of this Section 23:
23.3.3.1. If any of your Earnings are associated with Products that are or are alleged to be infringing of a third party's rights or are otherwise in violation of the
Policies, Fiitgcustom may do any of the following without providing a warning or prior notice: (i) deduct the associated Earnings from your Account; (ii) suspend your Account and payment of any Earnings; or (iii) deduct all Earnings and terminate your Account, if we determine (in our sole discretion) that you are a repeat infringer (See Section 27.9 hereof and our Designer License Agreement).
23.3.3.2. In the event that an order for which you were paid Earnings is either cancelled, returned or refunded for any reason, or if Products that generated a
referral fee are returned by the User, Fiitgcustom will deduct the relevant amount from your Earnings.
23.4. Payment Timing:
23.4.1. Once Earnings are Earned and Payable, payment will be made within forty-five (45) days after the end of the relevant month.
23.4.2. Fiitgcustom will pay your Earnings in accordance with the selections you make in the "Payment Settings" page in "My Account," and Fiitgcustom makes the following options available:
23.4.2.1. payment as soon as your Earnings have reached the Payment Thresholds set by Fiitgcustom from time-to-time; or
23.4.2.2. payment prior to reaching the Payment Thresholds, subject to payment of the Processing Fees; or
23.4.2.3. have your Earnings held in your Account until you choose to have your payment made (after reaching the Payment Threshold set by Fiitgcustom).
23.5. Fiitgcustom may apply withholding tax rates to international and domestic payments that may potentially be higher than otherwise would be due, if Designers do not provide us with relevant documentation, such as the W9 or W8-BEN form(s).
23.6. Earnings in currencies other than your selected payment currency: (i) will be converted to your payment currency and are subject to foreign currency conversion fees; (ii) may be subject to Payment Thresholds, Processing Fees, and/or Non-Contributing Account Fees that are slightly different than the equivalent of what is detailed herein, due to currency conversion rates and/or the selected payment currency.
21. Non-Contributing Account Fees
24.1. You, Fiitgcustom and the Site thrive best when we all contribute to provide the best Content and features to Users. As a result, your Account will be deemed a "Non-Contributing Account" if you haven't either (i) published a Public Product, or (ii) had a Referral Sale (as defined in the Associates Agreement) attributed to your Account in the previous fifteen (15) month period.
24.2. Your Account may be deemed "contributing" again at any time, once you publish a Public Product or have a Referral Sale attributed to your Account.
24.3. Non-Contributing Accounts are subject to a monthly Non-Contributing Account fee ("Non-Contributing Account Fee"):
24.3.1. Fiitgcustom will determine if your account is subject to the Non-Contributing Account Fee on midnight PST/PDT of the last day of the previous calendar month. For example, if your account is determined to be a Non-Contributing Account as of January 31st, but is deemed contributing again on February 1st, you will still be charged the Non-Contributing Account Fee in February.
24.3.2. If applicable, the Non-Contributing Account Fee will be deducted from your Account's Earned and Payable Earnings prior to when Earnings are paid.
24.3.3. Once a Non-Contributing Account Fee has been deducted from your Account's Earned and Payable Earnings, this deduction cannot be reversed or refunded.
24.3.4. Non-Contributing Account Fees cannot cause an Account's Earned and Payable Earnings to become negative, so in the event that Earned and Payable Earnings are insufficient to cover the relevant Non-Contributing Account Fee being assessed, Earned and Payable Earnings will be deducted until the balance is equal to zero.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which states: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
