Terms & Conditions

Any payment not received from Customer by the due date may accrue (except with respect to charges then under reasonable and good faith dispute), at Draft's discretion, late charges at the rate of 1.0% of the outstanding balance per month (12.67% per annum), or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid.

3.4 Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, Draft's Fees do not include any direct or indirect local, state, provincial, federal or foreign taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including value-added, goods and services, harmonized, use or withholding taxes (collectively, "Taxes"). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder, excluding taxes based on Draft's net income or property.

3.7 Validity. Upon every charge to the Customer's card, the Customer will receive a word quota as specified in the applicable Plan. This word quota will be valid for a duration of one (1) year from the date of the last charge. Any unused word quota will expire and be forfeited at the end of this one-year period. It is the responsibility of the Customer to utilize their word quota within the stipulated validity period.

4. NON-CIRCUMVENTION.

4.1Payments Through Draft. With respect to each Content Provider identified or to which Customer is connected via the Services, for the term of Customer’s connection or other relationship with such Content Provider in relation to the Services, and for 12 months thereafter (with respect to each such Content Provider, the “Non-Circumvention Period”), Customer agrees to use the Services as the Customer’s exclusive method to request Content from such Content Provider and make payments for work to such Content Provider. If Customer uses the Services as an employee, agent, or representative of an entity, then the Non-Circumvention Period and restrictions above apply with respect to such Customer and the other employees, agents, or representatives of such entity or its successor when acting in that capacity. If Customer is aware of a breach or potential breach of this non-circumvention provision, Customer will submit a confidential report to Draft at  support@draft.co .

4.3 Breach of Non-Circumvention. Customer understands and agrees that if Draft, in its sole discretion, determines that Customer has violated this Section 4, Draft may, at its option, (i) terminate Customer’s User account and/or suspend Customer’s use the Services, and/or (ii) charge Customer for all losses and costs (including any and all time of Draft’s internal workforce) and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) related to investigating such breach and collecting such fees. This Section 4 still applies if Customer chooses to cease using the Services and wishes to continue working with a Content Provider after Customer ceases using the Services. Customer agrees to notify Draft immediately if any person suggests making or receiving payments other than through the Services in violation of this Section 4 or if Customer receives unsolicited contact outside of the Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees that a violation of Section 4 is a material breach of this Agreement.

5. OWNERSHIP RIGHTS.

5.1 Rights to Content. Draft hereby assigns all of its right, title and interest in and to the Content (including the copyrights in the Content) to Customer on delivery of such Content to Customer and payment of all corresponding Fees by the Customer.

5.4 Customer Data. As between Draft and Customer, Customer exclusively owns all rights, title and interest in and to all Customer Data. Customer Data is deemed Customer’s Confidential Information under this Agreement. Draft shall not access Customer's User accounts, including Customer Data, except to respond to service or technical problems or at Customer's request or as necessary for the operation of the Services or billing. Customer hereby grants Draft a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except in connection with the permitted assignment of this Agreement), irrevocable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, perpetual license to use, aggregate, collect, analyze and otherwise exploit the Customer Data, Content and other information relating to the performance of the Services and Draft shall be free (during and after the Term) to (i) use such Customer Data, Content and other information to improve and provide Draft’s products and services, and (ii) disclose such Customer Data, Content and other information solely in an aggregated and anonymized format that does not identify Customer or any individual (“Aggregated Data”).

5.6 Third-Party Services. The Services may provide links or other access to services, sites, technology, and resources that are provided or otherwise made available by third parties (the “Third-Party Services”). Additionally, Customer may enable or log in to the Services via various online Third-Party Services, such as social media and social networking services. Customer’s access and use of the Third-Party Services may also be subject to additional terms and conditions, privacy policies, or other agreements with such third party, and Customer may be required to authenticate to or create separate accounts to use Third-Party Services on the websites or via the technology platforms of their respective providers. Some Third-Party Services will provide Draft with access to certain information that Customer has provided to third parties, including through such Third-Party Services, and Draft will use, store and disclose such information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. For more information about the implications of activating Third-Party Services and Draft’s use, storage and disclosure of information related to Customer and Customer’s use of such Third-Party Services within the Service, please see our Privacy Policy. Draft has no control over and is not responsible for such Third-Party Services, including for the accuracy, availability, reliability, or completeness of information shared by or available through Third-Party Services, or on the privacy practices of Third-Party Services. Draft encourages Customer to review the privacy policies of the third parties providing Third-Party Services prior to using such services. Customer, and not Draft, will be responsible for any and all costs and charges associated with Customer’s use of any Third-Party Services. Draft enables these Third-Party Services merely as a convenience and the integration or inclusion of such Third-Party Services does not imply an endorsement or recommendation. Any dealings Customer has with third parties while using the Services are between Customer and the third party. Draft will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any Third-Party Services.

10. TERM AND TERMINATION.

10.1 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue in effect on a month-by-month basis unless otherwise specified in the applicable Plan. Subject to any minimum term in the applicable Plan, either party may terminate this Agreement without cause on not less than 30 days’ prior notice, or by otherwise following any termination mechanism provided for within the Services.

10.2 Termination for Cause. A party may terminate this Agreement for cause: (i) upon thirty (30) days written notice of a material breach to the other party if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period; or (ii) if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. Upon any termination for cause under this Section 9.2 by Customer (but not otherwise), Draft may refund Customer on a pro-rata basis any prepaid fees for, in the case of a Subscription Plan, any periods after the termination of the Agreement or, in the case of a Usage Plan, any unused credits.

Customer agrees that Draft, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate Customer’s account (or any of its Users’ accounts) or use of the Services and remove and discard any Content within the Services, for any reason, including for lack of use or if Draft believes that Customer has violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of this Agreement. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of Customer’s use of the Services, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Draft may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Services, or any part thereof, with or without notice. Customer agrees that any termination of Customer’s access to the Services under any provision of this Agreement may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledges and agrees that Draft may immediately deactivate or delete Customer’s account (or any of its Users’ accounts) and all related information and files in Customer’s User account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Services.

10.5 Surviving Provisions. The following provisions shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement: Sections 5 through 12.

11. Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration.

11.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in this Agreement as the “Arbitration Agreement.” Customer agrees that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between Customer and Draft, whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between the parties, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that Customer may assert individual claims in small claims court, if Customer’s claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude Customer from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against Draft on Customer’s behalf. Customer agrees that, by entering into this Agreement, Customer and Draft are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Customer’s rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

11.2 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief.

CUSTOMER AND DRAFT AGREE THAT EACH OF THE PARTIES MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH CUSTOMER AND DRAFT AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.

11.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Draft is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most Customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the Customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at  support@draft.co . If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Draft should be sent to  john@draft.co  (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Draft and Customer do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, Customer or Draft may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Draft or Customer will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which Customer or Draft is entitled.

11.4 Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website,  http://www.adr.org . Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page,  https://www.adr.org/consumer . If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of this Agreement as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under this Agreement and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

Unless Draft and Customer agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by AAA. If Customer’s claim is for $10,000 or less, Draft agrees that Customer may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If Customer’s claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

11.5 Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. To the extent any Arbitration Fees are not specifically allocated to either Draft or Customer under the AAA Rules, Draft and Customer shall split them equally; provided that if Customer is able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that Customer is economically unable to pay Customer’s portion of such Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that Customer should not be required to pay Customer’s portion of any Arbitration Fees, Draft will pay Customer’s portion of such fees. In addition, if Customer demonstrates to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Draft will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

11.6 Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

11.7 Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than Section 10.2 titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of Section 10.2 above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of this Agreement will continue to apply.

11.8 Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement.
