Payments

Bandbox shall calculate the amount Net Proceeds (as defined below) payable to you for your sales of the Content on the first (1st) day of each thirty day sales cycle during which you use the Service (or the next following business day if such day falls on a weekend or holiday), and will cause the direct deposit of the amount payable to you to an account designated by you approximately fifteen (15) days following each such date, provided that, if the amount payable to you is less than Ten Dollars ($10.00), such amount shall accrue to the next payment date on which the total amount payable to you exceeds Ten Dollars ($10.00). Bandbox shall pay to you one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Proceeds derived from the sale of the Content. "Net Proceeds" shall mean the gross monies actually received by Bandbox from the sale of the Content by Bandbox to end users, less actual credit card processing and chargeback fees and all applicable taxes. All Net Proceeds shall be paid in U.S. Dollars.

Content Pricing
