    License of Content: Once the Fan has made the Fan Payment for a Fan/Model Transaction, the Model grants to the Fan a limited license to access the applicable Content of that Model to which the Fan/Model Transaction relates (the "Relevant Content"). This license is non-transferable, non-sublicensable and non-exclusive, and permits the Fan to access and view the Relevant Content on the Fan's personal device and via a normal web browser (and to make a temporary copy of such Content only to the extent that this is an incidental and technical process forming part of the Fan's accessing the Content (i.e. caching)), in accordance with the StellaPlus Premium Acceptable Use Policy.

    Ownership of Content: The Fan participating in the Fan/Model Transaction acknowledges and agrees that the license of the Relevant Content provided in section 6 of this agreement does not result in the Fan acquiring any rights in or to the Relevant Content, which rights shall be retained by the Model of the Relevant Content.

    Expiry of license: The license granted to a Fan in relation to the Relevant Content will expire automatically without notice in the following circumstances:
        if the Fan Payment related to the Fan/Model Transaction was unsuccessful or is charged back or reversed for any reason;
        in respect of pay-per-view Content, once the Fan has completed viewing the Content;

        The Fan acknowledges that the Fan/Model Transaction will result in a supply of the relevant Content to the Fan before the end of the period of 14 days from the date when the Fan/Model Transaction is entered into, and the Fan gives his or her express consent to this and confirms to the Model that he or she is aware that any statutory right to cancel the Fan/Model Transaction which the Fan has under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or any other applicable law will therefore be lost.

        This agreement does not affect any statutory right to receive a refund from the Model which a Fan may have under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or any other applicable law. 

    Obligations between Model and Fan: In respect of every Fan/Model Transaction:
        The Fan and the Model participating in the Fan/Model Transaction agree to comply at all times with the StellaPlus Premium Acceptable Use Policy about the Relevant Content, including when accessing, viewing, and interacting with it.

        The Fan participating in the Fan/Model Transaction agrees to make the Fan Payment required to access, view or interact with the Relevant Content and agrees not to initiate a chargeback other than if the Fan disputes the Fan/Model Transaction in good faith.

        The Model participating in the Fan/Model Transaction agrees to make the Relevant Content available to the Fan once the Fan has made the Fan Payment applicable to the Relevant Content.

        The Model warrants (makes a legally enforceable promise) that it possesses all necessary rights in and to the Relevant Content sufficient to license it to the Fan in the territory in which the Fan will be accessing the Relevant Content, and has obtained any and all permissions and consents needed to grant the license in section 6 of this agreement.

        The Model is solely responsible for creating and uploading the Relevant Content. The Model provides no guarantees that it will continue to create and upload Relevant Content on an ongoing basis.
        Unless there has been negligence or other breach of duty by the Model, the accessing by the Fan of the Model's Content is entirely at the Fan's own risk. 

    No guarantees: The Fan participating in the Fan/Model Transaction acknowledges that Models may add and remove Content at any time from their Model account and that Models have the discretion to decide what sort of Content to make available on their account. In addition, the Fan participating in the Fan/Model Transaction acknowledges that there may be circumstances where it is not possible for the Fan to access to Relevant Content to be provided under the Fan/Model Transaction, including:
        if the Model's account is suspended or deleted;
        if the Fan's account is suspended or deleted;
        if the availability of all or any part of StellaPlus Premium site is suspended or inaccessible; or
        if the Model is unable to create or upload Relevant Content in the future.

    Terms relating to disputes:
        This agreement is governed by English law and English law will apply to any claim that arises out of or relates to this agreement. The Fan will also be able to rely on mandatory rules of the law of the country where he or she lives.

        Where claims can be brought:
            If this agreement is with a Fan resident in the United Kingdom or the European Union, any claim under this agreement may be brought in the courts of England and Wales or the courts of the country where the Fan lives.
            If this agreement is with a Fan resident outside of the United Kingdom or the European Union any claim under this agreement must be brought in the courts of England and Wales, unless the Fan and Model otherwise agree.
