Services allow End-User to: (i) access Customer Content on a pay per view basis for viewing over a limited period of time (ii) access Customer Content on a subscription basis for viewing over a limited period of time during a subscription period and/or (iii) access Customer Content on a free or promotional basis for viewing over a period of time.

If funds have been received in a given calendar month, HD will send Customer a monthly electronic invoice. The invoice shall include collected funds, the amount of transactions successfully completed, the amount of refunds and chargeback received, and applicable taxes.

If Customer does not dispute the electronic invoice before the 15th of each month, HD will make payment to Customer on or before the 20th day of each month, where Customer provides its payment transfer details to HD. Payment shall be made by means of a third-party online payment service (e.g., PayPal). Customer will be responsible for its own additional fees associated with its use of the third party online payment services, if any.

HD shall make payment to Customer when the sum to be paid reaches a minimum of one hundred dollars ($100.00). In the event that a sum of $100.00 is not reached, revenue shall continue to accrue until this sum is reached or until termination of the Agreement.

  1. Refunds and Chargebacks

End Users will be permitted to submit refund requests through their bank, financial institution or PayPal or third-party processing company regarding Customer Content. End Users are able to file a chargeback through their bank, financial institution or PayPal. Such refund requests can be based on various circumstances such as the quality of Customer Content, availability of Customer Content, misleading descriptions of Customer Content etc. HD is not responsible for Customer Content disputes or refunds to End User.

HD shall have sole discretion as to whether or not a refund request is valid or invalid. If HD reasonably believes that a valid refund request is made, the fees paid by the End User shall be reimbursed by HD and deducted from the fees HD owes to Customer based on purchased Customer Content or otherwise.

Valid Refund Cases:

  1. The End User made duplicate purchases using the same email address.
  2. The live streaming or video on-demand was cancelled.

  5. The Customer Content was misleading – the description of the content did not relate to actual Customer Content presented.

Customer agrees that HD has no control over End-User chargeback requests.

HD cannot be held financially or operationally responsible for chargebacks. If the deposit amount is not sufficient to cover Customer’s chargeback, Customer shall reimburse HD the difference.

Refunds and Chargebacks: If the End-User is entitled to a refund of their purchase or files a successful chargeback, HD will retain a fixed $2 fee for processing such a refund or for the management of a chargeback. The End-User will receive back the entire amount of the payment (including fees), and HD will debit Customer’s account for the amount of the refund plus the fixed fee for processing the refund or chargeback.
