2.2 Retention of Rights by Licensor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting Licensors rights to utilize the Licensed Product itself or grant licenses to the Licensed Products to other parties provided that such licenses do not conflict with the rights granted to Highend3D Marketplace hereunder.
3. Royalties
3.1 Royalty. Licensor shall be entitled to a “Royalty” equal to fifty-five percent (55%) Less Transaction Fee, of (a) the Sales Revenue of all Licensed Products sold by Highend3D Marketplace during the Term hereof and (b) Highend3D Marketplace’s net royalty income received from any sublicensee of Highend3D Marketplace during the Term hereof, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section. If a Licensed Product is a part or component of a larger item or bundled, then the Sales Revenue shall be only that portion of the Sales Revenue of the larger item or bundle that is fairly, reasonably and conclusively allocated by Highend3D Marketplace to the part or component that is the Licensed Product. If any Licensed Products are sublicensed by Highend3D Marketplace to any sublicensee(s) and then resold or re-sublicensed to another third party by the sublicensee(s), the Royalty payable by Highend3D Marketplace to Licensor for any such transaction(s) shall be limited to fifty-five percent (55%) of whatever payment(s), Less Transaction Fee, Highend3D Marketplace receives from the sublicensee(s). There are no other royalties, fees or any other compensation payable to Licensor under this Agreement except as expressly specified in this paragraph.
3.2 Royalty Payments. Payments for previous month are calculated on the 1st of each next month. Payments will be made on the 7th of each month for previous month sales. This is to allow time for refunds and disputes from the previous month to be resolved before payments are made. Payments are made through Paypal or Moneybookers directly. The Royalty shall be paid in United States dollars or converted where available in services such as Paypal. The Royalty and Sales Revenue shall be determined according to the definitions set forth above and, in the event of any uncertainty beyond said definitions, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Payments are processed by banks and due to holidays and weekends, depending on the month, actual money transfer to sellers may occur anywhere between the 7th-11th of the following month. Bank transfers are subject to Paypal and Skrill timing and sometimes delays occur with these services unrelated to the timing of our bank transfers.
3.3 Demonstration Copies. Highend3D Marketplace and its Sublicensees shall have no Royalty obligation to Licensor for copies of any Licensed Products used by Highend3D Marketplace for demonstration, evaluation or advertising purposes.
3.4 Other.Except for the foregoing, there are no other royalties, fees or any other compensation payable by Highend3D Marketplace to Licensor or any third party under this Agreement. Licensor agrees that the consideration paid to it herein is fair and sufficient consideration for the rights and licenses granted, and, therefore, agrees to waive any right it has to modify the consideration included in this Agreement.
4. Chargebacks and Fraud
4.1 Chargebacks. Marketplace Sellers are responsible for all chargebacks related to items they sell. Marketplace Sellers will be held responsible for any chargeback where the Marketplace Seller fails to respond to any and all information requests, or if the response is insufficient to fight the chargeback. Marketplace Sellers will be held responsible for the amount of the order, as well as all fees assessed by the bank for the issuance of the chargeback. These fees are not assessed nor covered by Highend3D Marketplace and are the Marketplace Seller's responsibility unless the charge is from a stolen or fraudulant credit card, in which Highend3D Marketplace will pay the chargeback fees for the seller. If a chargeback is issued and covered by the issuer's protection policy, you will not be held responsible for the monetary amount. However, all chargebacks are closely monitored. A high number of chargebacks for your Marketplace Seller account will result in further action by Highend3D Marketplace. If a chargeback fee is greater than the amount of money owed to Licensor than Licensor's account will become negative in royalty payments until the cost of chargeback is met through additional salesof Licensor's products.
4.2 Fraud Prevention. Highend3D Marketplace is subscribed to special fraud prevention services which allow for a strict set of defined and detailed rules to prevent fraud. Highend3D Marketplace monitors and checks every purchase and builds new rules in an on-going basis to give Marketplace Sellers the most amount of protection from fraud and chargebacks.

Failure to adhere to the highest standards for customer service may lead to a Marketplace Seller’s suspension pending the resolution of any issues.
