4. PAYMENT.
4.1 Independent Relationship of FPM’s
When using a FPM, such as PayPal, Festivals and Filmmakers effect the applicable monetary payment transaction through the FPM service and are bound by the applicable terms of use governing the FPM service.
4.2 Credit Card Processing.
(a) Gateway; Payment Process.
Payment processing occurs directly through FilmFreeway or via a FPM. FilmFreeway will collect all submission fees, ticket fees, and merchandise fees on behalf of the Festival from from Filmmakers as an agent of the Festival and deduct from the fees collected by FilmFreeway all applicable Services Fees as agency commission fees payable by the Festival to FilmFreeway, and then pass the remainder along to the Festival on the tenth (10th) business day of each month (either by mailing a check or through an electronic funds transfer, depending on the option the Festival has chosen through using the Site, to the address or account, respectively, that the Festival accurately designates on the Site), provided that FilmFreeway reserves the right to withhold funds (i) at any time as FilmFreeway determines to be necessary for the processing and settlement of all refunds, disputed charges, chargebacks, customer complaints, allegations of fraud, and other discrepancies and (ii) as otherwise permitted pursuant to this TOS. FilmFreeway, in its sole discretion, may determine to advance a portion of submission fees to Festival prior to the period set forth above, on such terms and conditions as FilmFreeway may establish from time to time. Festival agrees that all fees ultimately due will be net of all Service Fees, refunds, disputed charges, chargebacks and other deductions, whether due to customer complaints, allegations of fraud, discrepancies related to the applicable event or otherwise. No payments shall be made to a Festival from FilmFreeway with respect to any event that is cancelled. If payments have already been made by FilmFreeway to a Festival for a cancelled event, such Festival will immediately refund to FilmFreeway all such payments upon cancellation of such event. All sales, fees, charges, and funds are payable in U.S. Dollars, or other currencies accepted by FilmFreeway. If Festival elects to list submission fees in a foreign currency accepted by FilmFreeway, FilmFreeway will collect and disperse the funds in the currency selected by Festival.
(b) Refunds.
(i) It is the responsibility of the Festival to communicate its refund policy to Filmmakers and to issue refunds to Filmmakers via the Site or offline. A Festival shall ensure that its refund policy is consistent with the terms of this TOS. The Site permits a Festival to issue refunds to Filmmakers within six (6) months after the transaction date. Refunds issued following such period will not be processed through the Site, unless otherwise agreed to by FilmFreeway in its sole discretion. Subject to the foregoing, refunds issued by a Festival will be processed within thirty (30) days after Festival instructs the issuance of the refunds via the Site. All communications or disputes regarding refunds are between the Festival and Filmmaker, and FilmFreeway will not be responsible or liable for, and Festival hereby agrees to fully indemnify FilmFreeway and its affiliates for, refunds, errors in issuing refunds, or lack of refunds. (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that FilmFreeway shall have the right to force a refund of any or all submissions at any time for any reason or no reason, including without limitation if FilmFreeway receives complaints from a substantial number (as determined by FilmFreeway in its sole discretion) of Filmmakers with respect to the Festival, or FilmFreeway determines in its sole discretion that Festival has engaged in any fraudulent activity or made any misrepresentations. Further, if one or more Filmmaker(s) request a refund, whether due to a cancelled event or for any other reason where FilmFreeway would reasonably expect to lose a chargeback, FilmFreeway may, in its sole discretion, issue such refund to such Filmmaker(s), and Festival shall then owe the amount of such refund to FilmFreeway.
Submission Protection
Submission Protection is an optional service that we offer to Filmmakers only at the time of checkout. Submission Protection provides for a full refund of Filmmaker’s entry fee for a Festival if: Filmmaker decides to withdraw submission within 5 days of submitting (provided the entry has not yet been judged by the festival); the Festival is canceled, deactivated, or does not take place; Filmmaker’s submission is lost in transit or not received by the festival.

23. GENERAL.
23.1 Entire Agreement.
This TOS constitutes the entire agreement between you and FilmFreeway and governs your use of the Services as a Filmmaker or other Non-Festival, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, discussions or communications between you and FilmFreeway on the subject matter hereof. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate services, third party Content, third party software or the Services in a manner other than as governed by this TOS.
23.2 Choice of Law.
This TOS and the provision of the Services to you are governed by the laws of the state of Nevada as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Nevada by Nevada residents.
23.3 Arbitration.
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this TOS or the provision of the Services shall be exclusively settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of an arbitration service in Nevada. Any such controversy or claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party. The arbitration shall be conducted in Nevada and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Subject to the foregoing arbitration provision, you and FilmFreeway agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the city of Las Vegas, Nevada. Either you or FilmFreeway may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Las Vegas, Nevada, necessary to protect the rights or property of you or FilmFreeway (or its agents, suppliers, and subcontractors) pending the completion of arbitration.
20.4 No Class Actions.
You and FilmFreeway agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, may not preside over any form of class, consolidated or representative proceeding and may only provide relief in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
23.5 Waiver; Invalid Provisions.
The failure or delay of FilmFreeway to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No oral waiver, amendment or modification shall be effective under any circumstance whatsoever. If any provision of this TOS is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the arbitrator or court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of this TOS shall remain in full force and effect.
23.6 Time to File Claim.
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or this TOS must be filed within two (2) years after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
