Olevus Terms of Service Monetization Amendment

This Olevus Terms of Service Monetization Amendment (the “Amendment”) supplements and amends the Olevus Terms of Service (the “Terms of Service”). Olevus is operated by Aurion Consulting LLC, doing business as Olevus (“Olevus,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

This Amendment becomes part of the Terms of Service when it is published with an effective date and accepted by a member as described below. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment or an incorporated monetization document, the Terms of Service remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment have the meanings assigned to them in the Terms of Service or the applicable incorporated document.

1. Purpose and Scope

This Amendment establishes the contractual framework that allows Olevus to offer multiple monetization, selling, creator-earnings, coin-support, and payout programs without treating every program as the same economic or legal transaction.

It applies when a member does any of the following:

• Enrolls in an Olevus monetization program;

• Connects or creates a Stripe Connected Account through Olevus;

• Purchases, receives, uses, or gifts Olevus coins;

• Earns creator-support value or other compensation;

• Offers or sells products, services, memberships, subscriptions, premium content, or other items through Olevus;

• Receives seller proceeds or requests a payout; or

• Accepts a program-specific monetization schedule.

Participation in one monetization program does not automatically enroll a member in another program, and the economics of one program do not apply to another unless an applicable schedule expressly says otherwise.

2. Incorporated Monetization Documents

The following documents are incorporated into the Terms of Service by reference when applicable to the member or transaction:

• Olevus Monetization, Seller, and Payout Terms;

• Schedule A — Olevus Support Economy: Coin Gifting and Direct Member Support;

• Olevus Coin Purchase Terms;

• Any future monetization, commerce, premium-content, subscription, community, event, service, referral, advertising, sponsorship, or seller schedule accepted by the member;

• Program-specific pricing, checkout, payout, refund, or fee disclosures presented before a transaction; and

• Applicable Stripe, Apple, Google, payment-processor, or app-store terms.

A future program schedule becomes binding only when Olevus makes that program available to the member and the member accepts the schedule or participates after receiving legally sufficient notice, as permitted by applicable law.

3. Order of Precedence

If incorporated documents conflict, the following order controls for the subject matter of the conflict:

Priority	Document	Controls
1	Transaction-specific checkout or payout disclosure	The disclosed price, fee, quantity, or transaction term accepted for that transaction.
2	Applicable program schedule	Program-specific economics, eligibility, hold, refund, chargeback, tax, and payout rules.
3	Monetization, Seller, and Payout Terms or Coin Purchase Terms	Monetization-wide or coin-specific rules.
4	This Amendment	Connection of monetization documents to the Terms of Service.
5	Existing Terms of Service	All matters not specifically modified, including dispute resolution, general liability, platform use, and enforcement.

The dispute-resolution, governing-law, limitation-of-liability, indemnification, and other generally applicable provisions of the Terms of Service continue to apply unless a program schedule expressly and lawfully modifies a specific matter.

4. Electronic Acceptance and Records

A member may accept this Amendment and incorporated monetization documents electronically, including by selecting an “Accept,” “Agree,” “Enroll,” “Connect Stripe,” “Enable Monetization,” “Purchase,” or similar control.

Electronic acceptance has the same effect as a handwritten signature to the extent permitted by law. Members may retain copies by downloading, printing, or saving the documents made available through Olevus.

Olevus may maintain an acceptance record that includes:

• The member’s Olevus account identifier;

• The document title and version;

• The date and time of acceptance;

• The acceptance method;

• The effective date;

• Relevant device, network, or audit metadata; and

• Whether the acceptance was replaced by a later version.

A member who does not accept required monetization terms may continue using non-monetized Olevus features, subject to the Terms of Service, but may not participate in the affected monetization program.

Withdrawal of consent or termination of monetization access does not invalidate transactions, authorizations, fees, obligations, reversals, tax reporting, or other activity that occurred before withdrawal or termination.

5. Separate Monetization Programs

Olevus may operate distinct monetization programs, including the Support Economy, community commerce, premium content, subscriptions, digital products, services, events, advertising, referrals, sponsorships, and future Olevus Commerce offerings.

Each program may have a different:

• Creator or seller percentage;

• Olevus fee or platform take;

• Processing-cost treatment;

• Merchant or seller structure;

• Hold period;

• Payout minimum;

• Refund and cancellation policy;

• Chargeback allocation;

• Tax-reporting treatment; and

• Payout schedule or method.

Program Separation The 80% creator share used for qualifying coin support applies only to Schedule A. It does not automatically apply to product sales, premium content, paid communities, subscriptions, courses, events, services, or other commerce.

6. Monetization Eligibility

To participate in an Olevus monetization program, a member must satisfy the eligibility requirements in the Monetization, Seller, and Payout Terms and the applicable program schedule, including age, account standing, supported jurisdiction, identity, tax, banking, payment, sanctions, and Stripe requirements.

Olevus may require additional information or documentation to confirm identity, ownership, authority, tax status, product rights, transaction legitimacy, payout eligibility, or compliance with law.

Completion of onboarding does not guarantee continuing access. Olevus may restrict, suspend, or terminate monetization access in accordance with the Terms of Service and applicable monetization documents.

7. Stripe Connected Accounts and Platform Authorization

Olevus may use Stripe Connect to provide identity verification, tax-information collection, payment processing, transfers, connected-account functionality, and payouts. A member may be required to create or connect a Stripe Connected Account and accept Stripe’s applicable agreements.

By connecting Stripe or enrolling in a program that uses Stripe, the member authorizes Olevus to conduct activity reasonably necessary to provide the Olevus platform services, including to:

• Create or connect a Stripe account on the member’s behalf;

• Submit information to Stripe and receive information Stripe makes available to Olevus;

• Access connected-account identity, tax, capability, bank-account, transaction, transfer, payout, balance, and risk information;

• Instruct Stripe to process charges, transfers, reversals, refunds, and payouts;

• Deduct disclosed Olevus fees and allocate processing costs as permitted by the applicable program terms;

• Apply payout holds, reserves, restrictions, or offsets;

• Correct account information supplied through Olevus, where permitted;

• Communicate with Stripe about verification, compliance, tax, payout, support, and risk matters; and

• Take other actions reasonably necessary to administer the member’s participation.

The member authorizes Stripe and Olevus to exchange data necessary to provide the connected-account and platform services. Stripe provides its services independently under its own agreements and may impose requirements, restrictions, fees, or account decisions outside Olevus’s control.

8. Payments, Fees, Holds, Reserves, and Payouts

Olevus may collect or facilitate payments, calculate earnings or seller proceeds, deduct disclosed fees, maintain separate balance categories, establish holds or reserves, and instruct Stripe to transfer or pay out eligible amounts.

A displayed balance may be pending, on hold, available, reserved, disputed, subject to tax withholding, or affected by a negative balance. A displayed amount is not necessarily immediately payable.

Payout eligibility may require:

• Expiration of the applicable hold;

• Successful payment settlement;

• Completion of identity, tax, and banking verification;

• An active and eligible Stripe Connected Account;

• Satisfaction of the applicable minimum payout;

• No unresolved refund, dispute, chargeback, fraud, reserve, legal, or account restriction; and

• Sufficient available settlement funds.

Olevus may delay or deny a payout request when a requirement is not satisfied. Submission of a payout request does not guarantee immediate transfer or bank settlement.

9. Seller, Creator, and Provider Responsibilities

When Olevus sells its own offering, Olevus is responsible for that offering. When a creator, community operator, seller, or provider offers their own product or service, that person or entity remains responsible for the offering except to the extent an applicable schedule expressly provides otherwise.

Those responsibilities may include accurate descriptions, lawful pricing, intellectual-property rights, delivery, performance, customer support, permits, licenses, consumer disclosures, refunds, cancellations, taxes, and compliance with law.

The applicable program schedule and payment configuration determine the seller, merchant, payment facilitator, tax, and settlement structure for the transaction. The appearance of Olevus or Stripe on a receipt or statement does not by itself transfer responsibility for the underlying product or service.

10. Coins and the Support Economy

Coin purchases, coin balances, coin classifications, gifting, refunds, and purchaser restrictions are governed by the Olevus Coin Purchase Terms.

Creator earnings from qualifying coin support are governed by Schedule A — Olevus Support Economy: Coin Gifting and Direct Member Support.

The member acknowledges that:

• Olevus coins are closed-loop virtual platform credits and are not cash, cryptocurrency, securities, deposits, or investment assets;

• The purchaser cannot withdraw coins as cash except where a remedy is required by law;

• Only qualifying Purchased Coins can create creator-payout value;

• Promotional, beta, testing, administrative, and other non-payout-eligible coins do not create creator earnings;

• A coin purchase and a creator-support earning are separate transactions; and

• Money spent or received does not directly purchase Reputation, Standing, endorsement weight, ranking, search position, organic reach, moderation immunity, or algorithmic distribution.

11. Tax Information, Reporting, and Withholding

A monetization participant must provide complete and accurate tax information before receiving payouts, including any Form W-9, Form W-8, taxpayer identification number, federal tax classification, address, residency, certification, or other information required by Olevus, Stripe, or law.

Olevus may block or suspend payout access when tax information is missing, inaccurate, uncertified, inconsistent, or subject to an unresolved verification issue.

Different monetization programs may produce different tax-reporting treatment. Olevus or its filing provider may issue Forms 1099-NEC, 1099-K, 1099-MISC, 1042-S, or other required forms based on the transaction structure and applicable law.

Olevus may apply backup withholding or other legally required withholding. Withholding reduces the net payout but does not necessarily reduce gross reportable income.

Each participant remains responsible for their own tax reporting, payments, registrations, deductions, and professional advice.

12. Refunds, Disputes, Chargebacks, Reversals, and Negative Balances

Refunds, payment disputes, chargebacks, unauthorized transactions, fraud, errors, duplicate payments, and invalid activity may reduce or reverse earnings, seller proceeds, coin balances, transfers, or payouts as permitted by the applicable program documents and law.

Olevus may:

• Freeze pending or available balances;

• Reverse affected gifts, earnings, seller proceeds, or transfers;

• Establish a reserve or negative balance;

• Offset future earnings or proceeds;

• Request repayment;

• Submit records in response to a payment dispute;

• Suspend purchases, selling, monetization, or payout access; and

• Use other lawful recovery methods.

A participant is not entitled to retain amounts resulting from fraud, error, unauthorized activity, invalid coin classification, duplicate payment, nonperformance, or other activity for which payment is not properly owed.

13. Fraud, Artificial Transactions, and Prohibited Monetization

The Terms of Service prohibition on fraudulent, abusive, unlawful, or deceptive conduct applies fully to monetization. Prohibited conduct includes:

• Manufacturing artificial earnings, sales, support, or transaction volume;

• Purchasing from oneself or routing funds through controlled or related accounts;

• Coordinating sham, reciprocal, or collusive gifts or sales;

• Using unauthorized or stolen payment methods;

• Manipulating refunds, disputes, chargebacks, engagement, identity, content, or metrics;

• Evading tax, identity, hold, reserve, payout, or transaction limits;

• Laundering, concealing, or improperly converting funds;

• Selling illegal, deceptive, infringing, or prohibited products or services; or

• Exploiting technical, pricing, ledger, or payment errors.

Founder, employee, developer, administrative, and system-test transactions may be tagged and excluded from ordinary earnings, revenue, tax-reporting totals, and public or investor-facing metrics.

14. Suspension, Termination, and Program Changes

Olevus may suspend or terminate monetization access for violations, fraud, verification failure, unacceptable financial or legal risk, restricted Stripe status, unresolved negative balances, prohibited offerings, failure to satisfy customer obligations, or other grounds permitted by the Terms of Service or applicable program documents.

Termination does not automatically eliminate valid balances, but all amounts remain subject to holds, reserves, refunds, disputes, chargebacks, offsets, withholding, investigations, corrections, legal restrictions, and unclaimed-property requirements.

Olevus may prospectively modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue a monetization program. Material economic changes will be communicated through the platform, email, an updated document, or another legally sufficient method. Reacceptance may be required before continued participation.

15. Privacy and Data Use

The Olevus Privacy Policy applies to monetization and payment-related data. Olevus may collect, use, store, disclose, and process information reasonably necessary to administer monetization, including identity, contact, tax, bank, Stripe Connected Account, transaction, earnings, product, customer, risk, fraud, dispute, and compliance information.

Information may be shared with Stripe, app stores, payment providers, financial institutions, tax authorities, regulators, service providers, professional advisers, law-enforcement authorities, and other parties as permitted by law, the Privacy Policy, and applicable agreements.

16. No Guarantee of Earnings, Sales, or Program Availability

Olevus does not guarantee that a member will receive gifts, make sales, earn a particular amount, reach a payout threshold, maintain monetization eligibility, or continue to have access to a particular monetization program.

Monetization does not guarantee Reputation, Standing, visibility, ranking, influence, customer demand, business success, or financial return.

Except as required by law, validly earned amounts are governed by the applicable monetization documents even if Olevus later modifies or discontinues a program.

17. Independent Relationship

Participation in monetization does not create employment, partnership, joint venture, franchise, fiduciary, or agency status. Creators, sellers, community operators, and providers act independently and remain responsible for their own business expenses, insurance, permits, licenses, taxes, and legal obligations.

No participant may bind Olevus or represent that Olevus endorses, guarantees, or provides the participant’s offering unless Olevus expressly agrees in writing.

18. Survival

Provisions concerning fees, taxes, withholding, refunds, disputes, chargebacks, reversals, negative balances, repayment, records, intellectual property, privacy, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive will continue after account closure, monetization termination, or program discontinuation.

19. Dispute Resolution and Governing Terms

All disputes arising from or relating to monetization, coin purchases, creator earnings, seller proceeds, Stripe onboarding, tax reporting, holds, reserves, refunds, chargebacks, payout decisions, or incorporated monetization documents are governed by the dispute-resolution and governing-law provisions of the existing Olevus Terms of Service.

Those provisions are incorporated into this Amendment by reference. This Amendment does not create a separate dispute process.

20. Miscellaneous

Except as modified by this Amendment, the Terms of Service remain in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. If a provision of this Amendment is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions will remain effective.

Olevus may assign this Amendment together with the Terms of Service as permitted by the Terms of Service. A member may not transfer monetization rights, connected-account access, balances, or payout rights except as expressly permitted by Olevus or required by law.
