        You agree that we will only arrange for Model Earnings to be paid to the account of the Model to which the Co-Authored Content is uploaded. The Model who uploaded the Co-Authored Content is solely responsible for dividing and distributing any revenue generated from the Co-Authored Content between the individuals shown in such Co-Authored Content. Any such revenue-sharing agreement shall be an independent, private agreement between you and such individual(s), and we are not responsible for providing or enforcing any such agreements.

You understand and agree that you are not entitled to any Model Earnings earned on any Co-Authored Content in which you appear but which is posted on another Model’s account. If you post Co-Authored Content on your account, we may require you to provide valid and complete legal information for all individuals which appear in the Co-Authored Content. If you fail to provide any information requested by us upon our request, we may delete the Co-Authored Content, restrict your rights and permissions to post as a Model, terminate your account, and/or withhold all or any portion of Model Earnings earned but not yet paid out to you.

        You agree to release us from and not to make any claims against us arising from Co-Authored Content. You agree that all claims arising from Co-Authored Content shall be made against the Model(s) who posted Co-Authored Content or the individual(s) who appeared in the Co-Authored Content (as applicable). 

    Payouts to Models:
        All Fan Payments will be received by a third-party payment provider approved by us.
        We don't currently work with Stripe or accept credit card payments, all payment is thereby processed through stable cryptocurrency (USDT TRC20).

        Your StellaPlus Premium account will be updated within a reasonable time with your Model Earnings. Your Model Earnings will become available for withdrawal by you from your StellaPlus Premium account once such Model Earnings appear in your StellaPlus Premium account.

        To make a withdrawal of Model Earnings from your StellaPlus Premium account, you must have at least the minimum payout amount in your StellaPlus Model Earning Wallet. Please go to your payment tab under your wallet page on your account to see what the minimum payout amount is for your country of residence and the Payout Option.

        The amount that you see in your ‘current balance’ in your StellaPlus Premium account is your Model Earnings at the relevant time. All Fan Payments and Model Earnings are transacted in USD only.  All payments are made with CRYPTOCURRENCY USDT (TRC 20) Please contact support if you need help generating a (TRC20) Cryptocurrency wallet OR refer to this video for instructions.

    Circumstances in which we may withhold Model Earnings:

        We may withhold all or any part of the Model Earnings due to you but not yet paid out:
            if we think that you have or may have seriously or repeatedly breached any part of the Terms of Service;
            if you attempt or threaten to breach any part of the Terms of Service in a way which we think has or could have serious consequences for us or another User (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User); or
            if we suspect that all or any part of the Model Earnings result from unlawful or fraudulent activity, either by you or by the Fan who made the Fan Payment resulting in the Model Earnings, 

        for as long as is necessary to investigate the actual, threatened or suspected breach by you or the suspected unlawful activity (as applicable). If following our investigation, we conclude that (i) you have seriously or repeatedly breached any part of the Terms of Service;

 (ii) you have attempted or threatened to breach any part of the Terms of Service in a way which has or could have serious consequences for us or another User (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User), and/or

(iii) the Model Earnings result from unlawful or fraudulent activity, we may notify you that you have forfeited your Model Earnings.

        We may also withhold all or any part of the Model Earnings due to you but not yet paid out if we receive notice that you have secured, encumbered, pledged, assigned, or otherwise allowed a lien to be placed on Model Earnings. We undertake no duty to pay Model Earnings to third-party lienholders and may withhold payment of Model Earnings until the lien has been removed.

        We shall not have any responsibility to you if we withhold or forfeit any of your Model Earnings where we have a right to do so under these Terms of Use for Models. 

      If we are withholding all or any part of the Model Earnings due to you and we determine that part of the Model Earnings withheld by us is unrelated to breaches by you of the Terms of Service or suspected unlawful or fraudulent activity, then we may arrange for you to be paid the part of the Model Earnings which we determine to be unrelated to breaches by you of the Terms of Service or suspected unlawful or fraudulent activity. However, you agree that if we consider that your breach(es) of the Terms of Service has or may cause us loss, we may withhold all Model Earnings due to you but not yet paid and we may set off such amounts against any losses suffered by us.

        If once we have finished our investigation we determine that Model Earnings are forfeited, we will (unless prohibited by law) use our best efforts to ensure that any Fan Payments which resulted in forfeited Model Earnings are returned to the relevant Fans who paid such Fan Payments.
