Artist Agreement

When a fan buys from your FanzPro-hosted storefront, FanzPro, LLC is the seller of record on the transaction. FanzPro processes the payment, handles sales tax calculation and remittance, issues receipts, and manages refunds and chargebacks. You appoint FanzPro as your limited agent to sell your merchandise, digital goods, tickets, and experiences on your behalf.

Marketplace-facilitator laws in Tennessee and ~45 other US states relieve you of collecting or remitting sales tax on FanzPro-facilitated orders — we handle it.

You keep the majority of every sale after (a) our platform fee, (b) the fan affiliate's referral commission, if any, (c) the print-on-demand cost of goods and shipping, and (d) card processing and any sales tax. Your applicable platform fee is shown live in your Artist Portal.

Earnings mature 30 days after the sale to cover refunds and chargebacks. Matured balances above the $50 minimum can be paid out to your connected bank account via Stripe Connect Express.

Your Stripe Connect account is used solely to receive your artist payouts. FanzPro does not debit your Stripe Connect account for fan commissions on hosted sales — hosted-mode fan commissions are paid from FanzPro's own fan payout reserve.

If you enable FanzPro affiliate tracking on your own external store (Shopify, Bandcamp, your own site, etc.) where FanzPro is not the merchant of record, you must provide FanzPro with an active authorization to collect fan commissions from your designated payment method. Accepted authorization methods are: (i) Stripe Connect Standard/Express with an application fee, (ii) Stripe SetupIntent with a saved payment method and signed mandate, or (iii) an ACH mandate via Stripe Financial Connections or GoCardless.

By enabling referral tracking, you authorize FanzPro to debit the fan commission portion of each attributed sale from your designated payment method at the time the sale is recorded. This authorization is a standing instruction until you revoke it.

Revoking the authorization does not release you from commissions already earned by fans. If a debit fails or the authorization is revoked, FanzPro will (1) retry collection at 24 hours, 72 hours, and 7 days, (2) send you a link to reauthorize at 14 days, and (3) freeze your affiliate program (redirecting affiliate links to a 'temporarily unavailable' state) if unresolved at 30 days. FanzPro reserves the right to recover unpaid, matured fan commissions through collection or setoff against future FanzPro-hosted earnings.

US artists must submit a valid IRS Form W-9 before receiving payouts. Non-US artists must submit the applicable IRS Form W-8. Payouts are held until documentation is on file. FanzPro issues Form 1099-NEC or 1042-S annually as required.

Chargebacks and refunds are debited against your matured and future earnings. If your account carries a negative balance beyond 60 days, FanzPro may invoice you for the shortfall.

You warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to every image, design, recording, video, and trademark you upload or sell through FanzPro. You will not upload content that infringes third-party rights (including music masters, publishing, band-name marks, or celebrity likenesses). You indemnify FanzPro against claims arising from your content.

FanzPro complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If your content is the subject of a valid DMCA notice we will remove it promptly and notify you. Repeat infringers will be terminated. See our DMCA policy.

Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time on written notice. Termination does not release either party from obligations that accrued before termination, including matured payouts owed to you and refund/chargeback liability.
