THE CONTRIBUTOR acknowledges and agrees that ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM is a consignment business whereby THE CONTRIBUTOR is selling THE CONTRIBUTOR’S Content to end users through ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM.

ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM assumes no responsibility for obtaining copyright or other intellectual property protection for THE CONTRIBUTOR’S Content. The question of DRM (Digital Rights Management) comes up in the conversation about ownership. Many smart people have written on why DRM is a waste of time for internet media publishers because it doesn’t help sell product, promote products, or enjoy products.

ACCOUNTING

THE CONTRIBUTOR acknowledges and agrees that THE CONTRIBUTOR is not being hired by ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM. Rather, ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM is a consignment business, whereby THE CONTRIBUTOR is selling THE CONTRIBUTOR’S Content directly to end users through the Service. Therefore, ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM has no obligation to send any tax forms (including, without limitation, Form 1099) to THE CONTRIBUTOR.

ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM shall account to THE CONTRIBUTOR for THE CONTRIBUTOR’S share of Gross Revenues approximately once per month during the term of this Agreement. Within sixty (60) days of the close of each period during which ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM shall have received any Gross Revenues with respect to THE CONTRIBUTOR’S Content, ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM will pay THE CONTRIBUTOR via electronic transfer (PayPal or similar account) the amount owed to THE CONTRIBUTOR. THE CONTRIBUTOR agrees that ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM shall not be responsible for any fees associated with the receiving of payment from ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM.

ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM may deduct from any amount payable hereunder such portion thereof as may be required to be deducted under any applicable statute, regulation, treaty or other law in connection with taxation or otherwise, and THE CONTRIBUTOR shall promptly execute and deliver to ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM such forms or other documents as may be required in connection therewith. If at the time of a ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM payment, THE CONTRIBUTOR has not provided ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM with all information reasonably requested, including, without limitation, legal name, tax identification information and complete payment information including the required Paypal account (or related service), then ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM shall hold any sums due to THE CONTRIBUTOR until the end of first period during which THE CONTRIBUTOR has provided ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM with all such missing information. 

If the CONTRIBUTOR cancels or interrupts the valid state of their listed Paypal account ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM will hold any unpaid earnings until the Paypal account is again made valid, or a new Paypal account is listed in the CONTRIBUTOR’S account. Payments will then be resumed for the balance due on the following month of reinstatement. ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM is under no obligation to make a revenue payment to any CONTRIBUTOR, for any reason, other than to a valid Paypal account. 

ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM agrees to keep accurate books and records covering all transactions related to this Agreement. During the one-year period following THE CONTRIBUTOR’S receipt of payment, THE CONTRIBUTOR may, at THE CONTRIBUTOR’S expense and upon reasonable notice, inspect ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM’s records related to that payment at the ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM offices or at a location specified by ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM, provided that THE CONTRIBUTOR’S inspection must not unreasonably interfere with ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM business.

If THE CONTRIBUTOR’S inspection reveals that ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM has underpaid THE CONTRIBUTOR, ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM will promptly correct the deficiency. It is understood that ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM includes certain advertising on multiple pages and sections of the Service; no portion of the sums received by ENTERTHEWORSHIPCIRCLE.COM from the sale of such advertising shall be included in the calculation of any sums payable to THE CONTRIBUTOR hereunder.
