- Introduction
1.1. Definition of Parties. The parties referred to in this Agreement are defined as follows:
1.1.1. The Company is the operator of the website https://www.pp39.cn/. “Company” has the meaning defined in this Agreement. When first-person pronouns (we, our, ours, etc.) are used in this Agreement, these pronouns refer to the Company and/or any other website we may choose to operate in the future. In addition, when the terms “Website” or “Site” or “Websites” are used, these terms refer to https://www.pp39.cn/, any predecessor or successor domain name or URL, and any website published by us, unless a site is expressly exempted from this Agreement. Our website and the services available through the website and the services provided through the website (the “Services”) may contain images and videos (collectively, “Content”) as well as text, software, graphics, data, messages or any other information and any other website content owned, operated, licensed or controlled by Company (collectively, “Materials”).
1.1.2. You, the User. As a user of the Website and/or the Services, this Agreement will refer to the User as “you” or any second-person pronouns (such as “your”, etc.). Hereinafter, users of the Website and/or the Services will be referred to by applicable second-person pronouns. By using the Website, you certify that you are eighteen (18) years of age or older, or twenty-one (21) years of age, depending on the age of majority in your jurisdiction.
1.1.3. Users vs. Members vs. Verified Members. For purposes of this Agreement, all Members and/or Verified Members are Users, but not all Users are Members. This Agreement applies to all Users, whether or not they are Members. You become a User by accessing the Website or the Services in any manner, so you do not need to be a Member of the Website for this Agreement to apply to you. You are not considered a Member as defined in this Agreement until you submit an online account registration (hereinafter referred to as a “Registration”). You become a Member by registering a user ID and password on the Site through Registration (as described below) or by activating and registering for other available registration methods as defined on our Site. Registration does not require providing your email address. In addition, registration can be done through the “Sign Up with Google” feature on the Site’s registration page. You are not considered a Verified Member as defined in this Agreement until you submit an online application to participate in our Creators Program (hereinafter referred to as “Verification”) and comply with these Terms and the Creators Program Terms. Once your application is reviewed by us and your online account is accepted into the Creators Program, you become a Verified Member.
1.2. Electronic Signature/Agreement Required:
1.2.1. No person shall be authorized to access the Site or use the Services unless they have signed this Agreement. Such signature does not need to be a physical signature as the Act on Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (E-Signatures Act), Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014, and similar federal and state laws allow for the electronic acceptance of this Agreement. You agree to this contractual agreement by taking any action that indicates your assent to this Agreement. Most likely, you have clicked or will click a button containing “I agree”, “Sign up” or similar syntax, or register on our website using the “Sign up with Google” feature. You should understand that this has the same legal effect as your signing any other legal contract. If you click on any link, button or other device provided to you in any part of our website interface, you have legally agreed to all of these terms and conditions. In addition, by using our website or services in any way, including uploading your content to our website, you understand and agree that we regard such use as your confirmation that you fully and unconditionally accept all the terms of this agreement.
1.2.2. If you fail to sign this agreement, you understand that you are an unauthorized user of the website and services. Any of our actions or omissions should not be interpreted as a waiver of your requirement to agree to this agreement. If you fail to do so, you will still be bound by the terms of this agreement by your viewing of the website or use of any part of the website or our services.
1.3. If you are looking for information about any illegal activities, you must leave the website immediately and do not attempt to use the services. You acknowledge that you are aware of the community standards of your community and you will access the content on the Website and/or use the Services only if you believe that the content on the Website does not violate the community standards prevailing in your community.
1.4. You agree that you will not use the Services or access the Website if it would violate the laws of your state, province or country.
1.5. Amendments to this Agreement:
1.5.1. We may amend this Agreement from time to time. We reserve the right to do so and you agree that we have this unilateral right. You agree that all modifications or changes to this Agreement will be effective and enforceable immediately upon posting. Any updated or edited version will replace any previous version immediately upon posting, and the previous version will not have continuing legal effect unless the revised version expressly refers to the previous version and keeps the previous version or part of it valid. If any amendment to this Agreement is deemed invalid or invalid by any court, you and us (collectively, the “Parties”) agree that the previous valid version of this Agreement will be deemed valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
1.5.2. We agree that if we make changes to any of this Agreement, we will change the “Last Modified” date at the top of this Agreement to immediately indicate that we have updated this Agreement. This Agreement is located at https://www.pp39.cn/info/terms and a link to this Agreement is also located at the bottom of the home page of the Site under “Terms of Use”. You agree to revisit this webpage periodically and use the “Refresh” button on your browser when you do so. You agree to take note of the date this Agreement was last revised. If the “Last Modified” date remains the same as the last time you reviewed this Agreement, you can assume that nothing in this Agreement has changed since you last read it. If the “Last Modified” date has changed, you can be sure that something in this Agreement has changed and you need to re-review it to determine the impact that the revisions may have on your rights and liabilities.
1.5.3. Waiver. If you fail to review this Agreement periodically to determine whether any terms have changed, you assume full responsibility for your failure to do so and you agree that such failure to do so is an express waiver of your right to review revised terms and we have no liability to you for that failure.
1.6. Incorporation by Reference While this Agreement represents the main terms and conditions of service for our website, additional guidelines and rules are referenced herein. The documents that can be found on our website, and that are expressly incorporated by reference and are therefore an integral part of this Agreement, include the following:

- Account Access and Membership Description
2.1. Access and Limited License:
2.1.1. Certain public areas of the Website are accessible to all users. You understand that all we offer to you is access to the services we offer from time to time. You will be responsible for providing your own internet access and any internet access or other fees you incur in order to access the Site and use our Services will be your sole responsibility. We will not provide you with any hardware or software – you will need to purchase or license the necessary hardware and software to access the Site and Services. This Agreement covers all public and non-public areas of the Site.
2.1.2. By accessing the Site, you certify that:
2.1.2.1. You will use the Site for your personal, non-commercial purposes only;
2.1.2.2. You will not copy or distribute any part of the Site without our prior written authorization;
2.1.2.3. You will fully comply with these Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy.
2.2. Membership or User Account:
2.2.1. Although you can use most of the features of the Site without creating an account, to access certain features of the Site and Services, you must register as a member of the Site or become a verified member.
2.2.2. When completing the registration, you agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete personal information as prompted by the registration (such information is referred to as the “Registration Data”); you also agree to maintain and promptly update the Registration Data during your membership or verified membership to keep it true, accurate, current and complete at all times.
2.2.2.1. As part of the registration, you will be provided or may select a unique username and password, which you must enter in order to access the non-public parts of the Website (e.g., to access your account on the Website). If you register on the Website through the “Sign Up with Google” or “Sign Up with Twitter” features, you may also access the non-public parts of the Website. At the same time, pursuant to Section 1.1.3 of the Agreement, you do not need to provide an email address to register on the Website, so we encourage you to remember your username and password so that you can access your account and the non-public parts of the Website. If you wish to recover your account, we strongly recommend that you provide us with an email address for verification purposes in the event that you forget your username or password or wish to deactivate your account. You can provide an email address when registering or later in the “Edit Profile” section at the following link: https://www.pp39.cn/my/edit/profile. To recover your password, you can use the dedicated page in your account. However, if you do not provide an email address and forget your username or password, we will not be able to confirm that the account is indeed yours and therefore you will not be able to restore access to your account. In addition, if you do not provide an email address when registering or when editing your profile later, we will not be able to reactivate your account in case you deactivate it.
2.2.2.2. You guarantee that, when asked to choose a username, you will not choose a name that could falsely represent you as someone else or that could infringe the rights of third parties. We reserve the right to change the username or delete the associated account if the username violates any of the aforementioned rights.
2.2.3. Community User. After completing the registration, you can choose to become a community user by submitting a photo containing your face and your username and the handwritten text “www.pp39.cn”. If you meet the requirements described here, you will receive a special mark to confirm your identity as a community user.
2.2.4. Verified Member. This option is available to all Members and is intended to allow Members to activate Creator Program features, including but not limited to uploading Content to the Website. Member Verification means that such User’s documents (documents containing your full name, photo, date of birth and other identifying characteristics (such as your address)) and data have been verified by third-party service providers engaged by us from time to time. We do not assume any responsibility for the services provided by such third-party service providers. All data processing is carried out in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the privacy policy of the third-party service provider. We may ask Members to provide additional documents for verification purposes before and after verification to determine your age and identity, and we may also change the number of documents required from Members from time to time at our sole discretion. The types of documents used for verification purposes vary and are set by us and the service provider based on the country and may include one or more of the following: National ID card, National passport, International passport, Citizenship card, State ID card, Driver’s license (only for countries where a national ID card or passport is not mandatory). We reserve the right to review all verification results received from the service provider and make a final and binding decision on whether to accept the data provided. However, if the Website verifies the identity of a particular Member, such verification does not reflect or affect such Member’s professional reputation or reliability as a suitable business partner and should not be relied upon. Verified Members are in no way endorsed by the Website or its agents and have not been subject to any screening process except as provided above in this clause. We therefore expressly disclaim any liability associated with any online or offline communications between any User and such Verified Member.
2.2.5. Members are only allowed to create one (1) account.
2.2.6. Memberships may not be transferred or sold to a third party unless otherwise permitted by us in writing.
2.2.7. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account and you must keep your account password confidential. You must immediately notify the Website of any security breach or unauthorized use of your account.
2.2.8. In the event of any national or state law or other jurisdiction that imposes regulations requiring verification of a user’s age, the Company may ask the user to confirm their legal age. Such confirmation may be made with the assistance of a third party that provides verification services. By making such verification, the member authorizes the Company to transfer their personal data to a third party for the purpose of confirming their legal age.
2.2.9. User access to the Website is free of charge. We do not offer any form of paid membership. Any premium membership or subscription offered through the Website is provided in part or in whole by a third party, regardless of the brand or name associated with such membership. The Website is not responsible for the activities of any third party or the content of any third party website, including the use of cookies by third parties or any other information (such as IP address, browser type or operating system) collected when you enter their website through a link on the Website or view their advertisement. Links to such third-party websites should not be considered an endorsement by the Website of the third-party websites or any products or services advertised, offered or sold therein, nor an indication that such websites are free of computer viruses or anything else of a destructive nature. It is your responsibility to review any terms and conditions and privacy policies of such third-party websites.
2.2.10. We are committed to ensuring transparency in our referral system, as provided for in Article 27 of the Digital Services Act (“DSA”). To learn more about the main parameters used and any options that affect these main parameters of our referral system, please visit our EU DSA page.
2.2.11. Verified Members are entitled to participate in our referral program, as described in Appendix 1 to this Agreement.
2.3. Deactivation or termination of your membership or user account.
2.3.1. You may cancel your membership at any time by going to your profile settings. Then click on “Deactivate Account”, enter your password and then click on the “Deactivate Account” option. The terms of this Agreement shall survive deactivation or termination, unless otherwise stated. After we process your request, you will no longer be able to access the non-public areas of the Website where you were a member. It is emphasized that the purpose of the “deactivate” option is to allow you to close your account and make it unavailable to the public, not to permanently delete some or all of your content and account. Upon deactivation, your account may only be restored if you have provided us with an email address and such email address is verified. After six (6) months, user accounts that have been deactivated and have not uploaded any content and have not been reactivated may be permanently deleted at the Company’s discretion.
You also have the right to permanently delete your account and all information we store about you in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You can delete your account in your profile settings (click on “Edit Profile” and select the “Deactivate Account” option). Alternatively, you can use our Contact Us / Single Point of Contact.
2.3.2. Without limiting other remedies, we may suspend or terminate your access to and use of the Website and Services, temporarily or indefinitely, at any time, with or without prior notice, if:

2.3.2.2. We are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide to us;
2.3.2.3. We believe, in our sole discretion, that your actions may create legal liability for you, our users, or us; or
2.3.2.4. We decide to cease operating or otherwise terminate any service or option offered on the Website or part thereof.
2.3.3. You agree that neither we nor any third party acting on our behalf will be liable for any termination of your account or access to any part of the Website or Services.

2.3.5. You agree to allow us to access your account and any other information you submit or create, as long as this is reasonably necessary to investigate complaints or protect our interests, in order to maintain the integrity of the Site and Services, enforce the terms of the Agreement, or investigate complaints.
2.3.6. You agree not to use our services to publicly discuss any violations, warnings, or bans. You must discuss any concerns about such topics with us directly.
2.3.7. If you provide any untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete information, or we or any of our authorized agents have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any current or future use of the Site and Services by you, and pursue your criminal and civil liability. If applicable, you are responsible for any credit card chargebacks, bounced checks, and any related fees incurred by the Site as a result of your account. If you fail to reimburse us for any credit card chargebacks, bounced checks, or related fees within thirty (30) days of our initial request for a chargeback, you agree that you will pay us an additional liquidated damages of one hundred euros (100.00 EUR) plus any fees we incur for each charge.
2.3.8. The Website and its affiliates disclaim any liability arising from fraudulent access to and use of the Website. If a user gains access by fraudulent means, the Website may immediately terminate their membership and take all necessary and appropriate action under applicable national and international laws.

If we suspect any member has used a stolen or forged ID during the member verification process or Co-Performer verification process under the Creator Program feature, we will notify the appropriate law enforcement agencies and terminate the member’s account.
2.5. You agree that Your Content will comply with all terms set forth in this Agreement. Your Content includes any text, images, videos, blog posts, forum comments or other content or media that you upload or otherwise provide to us for use on the Website or Services (“Your Content”).
2.6. Subject to your acceptance of this Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable personal license to access and use the Website, the Materials and the Services contained therein. We provide the Materials and Services on the Website for personal, non-commercial use by users of the Website. Users of the Website are granted a license to view one copy of the Materials.
2.7. All Materials and Services available on the Website are for private, non-commercial use only and all other uses are strictly prohibited unless agreed to in writing by us.

Any unauthorized use of the Site or any material contained therein will immediately terminate this limited license. This is a license to use and access the Site for its intended purpose, not a transfer of title. You may not copy or redistribute any content on the Site. We reserve the right to terminate this license at any time if you violate or breach any provision of this Agreement, in which case you are obligated to immediately destroy any information or materials you have downloaded, printed or otherwise copied from the Site. Violations of this limited license may be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible under applicable law.
2.9. Service Interruptions. Our service may be temporarily interrupted from time to time due to various technical factors, scheduled software uploads, and other factors beyond our control. Due to technical and other factors, some features of the Site, such as the Site’s email system, may sometimes be unavailable.

Prior to suspension, we will issue a warning to the complainant depending on the severity of the violation.
2.12.3. Evaluation Criteria. When determining whether a suspension is necessary pursuant to paragraphs 2.12.1 and 2.12.2 above, we will evaluate the user’s behavior on a case-by-case basis. We will conduct this evaluation promptly, diligently, and objectively, taking into account the following:

- Scope of the Referral Program
1.1. The Referral Program applies to Verified Members who decide to refer others to register as Verified Members on the Website (hereinafter referred to as the “Referrer”) and individuals (natural and/or legal persons) referred to the Website by the Referrer (hereinafter referred to as the “Invited Members”).
1.2. The Referral Program provides each Referrer with the opportunity to earn rewards, provided that the following conditions are met:
1.2.1. The Referrer shall be a Verified Member as defined in the General Terms and Conditions of the Website – https://www.pp39.cn/info/terms (“General Terms”).
1.2.2. Upon the Referrer’s successful and final registration as a Verified Member, the Referrer will receive a Referral Link (unique and personalized) through his/her profile on the Website. The Referral Link is a unique code that allows the Company to track whether the Invited Member was invited by the Referrer.
1.2.3. The Referrer may share the Referral Link with any natural or legal person through any available communication source (e.g. social media, email, website). Referrer must comply with all applicable laws and regulations and must not engage in any illegal and/or unsolicited conduct during the sharing of the Referral Link. Referrer must comply with the latest electronic communications and direct marketing laws and regulations, which may include the laws of the jurisdiction where the intended Invited Member resides. Any distribution of Referral Links that may constitute unsolicited commercial email or spam under any applicable laws or regulations is expressly prohibited and will constitute grounds for immediate termination of your account and exclusion from the Referral Program. The Company reserves the right to automatically disqualify suspicious referrals.
1.2.4. Invited Members shall be natural or legal persons who are new to the Website and have never registered on the Website. Referrer shall not receive any income from Invited Members who have registered as Verified Members on the Website before receiving the Referral Link sent by Referrer. Referrer shall not receive any income from rejected or incomplete registration attempts by Invited Members.
1.2.5. Invited Members shall register as Verified Members through Referrer’s Referral Link in accordance with the General Terms. If Invited Members register as Verified Members without using the Referral Link, we will not pay any rewards to Referrer.

1.2.6. The Referrer is entitled to five percent (5%) of the Invited Member’s total earnings from the Company within twelve (12) months of the Invited Member’s registration as a Verified Member.

The Company will place these income sources and the Referrer’s Rewards on the Referrer’s dedicated webpage.
1.2.7. The Referral Program will be valid for twelve (12) months after the Invited Member registers as a Verified Member.

1.3. The Referrer may not earn more than $50,000 (Fifty Thousand Dollars) for one Invited Member during the entire Referral Program period.
1.4. In order to increase the rewards that a Referrer may receive, the Company may work with third-party service providers. In this case, if the Invited Member registers on the website of the Third-Party Service Provider, the Invited Member’s subsequent registration will be automatically linked to the Referrer for additional rewards. If this interaction increases the Invited Member’s income, the Referrer will receive additional rewards.
The following rules apply to the relationship between the Referrer and the Invited Member and the aforementioned Third-Party Service Provider:
- The duration of the Referral Program begins from the date the Invited Member creates an account on the Website or on the website of the Third-Party Service Provider, whichever action occurs first.
