ChainMart may increase fees for each renewal period. Customer may terminate its subscription at any time. On termination, Customer may continue to use the Service through the end of the prepaid subscription period. ChainMart will not refund any prepaid fees on such termination.

Customer will pay ChainMart the fees set forth in each Order Form. Fees for self-serve accounts must be paid via credit card, bank debit, or approved cryptocurrency wallets through the Service.

– vendor sponsorship - a Vendor sponsoring the article, in which case a defined percentage of the sponsorship fee is paid to the Content Contributor.
Royalty rates, calculation methodology, and payment timing will be published on ChainMart’s website and may be updated with 30 days’ notice to Content Contributors. Where Vendor and Creator attribution applies, the Vendor determines the royalty split with the Creator at the time of commissioning, and ChainMart is not responsible for any dispute between Vendor and Creator regarding their internal split.
S1.7.3 Audit Rights
Content Contributors have the right to request a summary of engagement metrics and sponsorship revenue attributed to their Customer Educational Content for the purpose of verifying Royalty calculations. Requests should be directed to legal@chainmart.io and will be responded to within 30 days.

Where rewards are distributed via smart contract, the on-chain record is the authoritative record of payment and ChainMart is not liable for gas fees, wallet errors, or tokens lost due to Content Contributor error.
S1.7.5 Reward on Withdrawal
Where an article is withdrawn by ChainMart under Section S1.10, Rewards already issued prior to withdrawal are retained by the Content Contributor. Royalty entitlement ceases on the date of withdrawal.

S1.9 Indemnity (Content Rights)
The Content Contributor will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ChainMart and its Related Parties from and against all Losses arising from Claims that the Customer Educational Content infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights or contains defamatory or unlawful material.
ChainMart will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Content Contributor from and against all Losses arising from Claims that ChainMart’s use of the Customer Educational Content in connection with vendor sponsorship, sublicensing, or editorial modification exposes the Content Contributor to liability, provided the Content Contributor notifies ChainMart promptly in writing and cooperates in the defence.
The indemnities in this Section are mutual. Neither party is liable to the other for indirect or consequential losses under this Section.
Content Contributors retain all moral rights in Customer Educational Content, including the right of integrity and the right of attribution, subject to the following:
– Attribution: ChainMart’s obligation to attribute under Section S1.6 satisfies the Content Contributor’s moral right of attribution.
– Integrity: The Content Contributor grants ChainMart a partial waiver of the right of integrity solely to the extent required to permit reasonable editorial edits, formatting changes, and platform presentation necessary for publication. ChainMart will not make changes that fundamentally misrepresent the Content Contributor’s views without prior written consent.
Content Contributors who believe that editorial changes have materially misrepresented their work may request review by contacting legal@chainmart.io. ChainMart will respond within 14 days.
S1.11 Editorial Withdrawal and Takedown
ChainMart may withdraw Customer Educational Content from the Service if:
– the content is found to be factually incorrect or misleading;
– publication is found to violate Applicable Law or third party rights;
– the content no longer meets ChainMart’s editorial or community standards.
Content Contributors may request takedown of their own Customer Educational Content by written notice to legal@chainmart.io, provided that the exclusivity obligation in Section S1.4 continues notwithstanding any takedown, and that ChainMart is not obliged to honour a takedown request where it would breach obligations to third parties such as Vendor sponsors.
Withdrawal does not affect Rewards already issued or Royalties already accrued prior to the date of withdrawal.
S1.12 Community Standards and Compliance
Content Contributors agree that Customer Educational Content reflects professional standards appropriate to an enterprise B2B platform. ChainMart may remove content that subsequently becomes problematic due to regulatory developments, factual inaccuracy, or changes in industry standards. Such removal does not constitute a breach of this Agreement and ChainMart will notify the Content Contributor where practicable.
