6. Revenue Share and Payment Terms
6.1 Revenue Share Structure: The specific revenue share percentage or fixed fee per transaction due to each Product Owner, Distributor, and Trufla for each sale (the “Revenue Share”) will be detailed in the respective Distribution Agreement. The Revenue Share is calculated after deducting a 4% surcharge per transaction to cover payment processing fees by a third-party payment processor and any technology fees as specified in the specific Product agreement. Such amounts exclude taxes and any separately stated fees or charges. A Revenue Share is due only for sales for which Trufla has received final payment from or on behalf of an End User Customer.
6.2 Currency and Payment: The currency used for all transactions, including the listing of Products and Revenue Share payments will be as specified in the Distribution Agreement. Trufla reserves the right, in its discretion, to conduct transactions in other currencies as appropriate. In such cases, currency conversions for Revenue Share payments will be conducted based on prevailing exchange rates as determined by Trufla at the time of payment.
6.3 Payouts: Trufla shall distribute the Revenue Share in accordance with the following terms:
a. Establishment of a Marketplace account via Stripe Connect and granting access to Trufla is required to facilitate direct distributions upon successful transactions. Trufla may from time to time add or replace Marketplace account options or processing partners.
b. You are required to maintain a minimum balance in your Stripe Connect account (or equivalent Marketplace account), as determined by Trufla, to accommodate potential refunds.
c. Monthly payouts will be standard practice, with exceptions in specific circumstances at Trufla’s discretion.
d. You are responsible for providing accurate and complete bank account information to the payment processor, money transmitter, or money services business proscribed by Trufla.
e. Trufla reserves the right to accrue and withhold payments, without interest, until the total amount due to you reaches at least $500.00 in the currency described in the Distribution Agreement (or equivalent).
f. Any fees incurred by the bank for payment processing will be borne by you.
g. Trufla retains the authority to modify the minimum balance requirement and payout frequency to accommodate operational needs and to ensure the integrity of transactions within the Marketplace.
6.4 Payment Schedule: Subject to the terms of the Distribution Agreement and this Agreement, Trufla will process payments of the Revenue Share to the Product Owner and Distributor no more than thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar month in which the applicable sale is made. The Product Owner and Distributor agree to establish a Marketplace account via the payment processor, money transmitter, or money service business proscribed by Trufla. Any fees charged by the bank in connection with wire transfers are the responsibility of the receiving party.
6.5 Refunds and Adjustments: Trufla may issue refunds to End User Customers in its sole discretion. If a refund is issued before the Revenue Share is paid for the applicable sale, the Product Owner and Distributor agree and acknowledge that they will not receive a Revenue Share for that portion of the sale amount that was refunded. Additionally, if a Revenue Share has been paid out on a sale and a refund or credit is later issued to the End User Customer (or a chargeback related to the sale occurs), Trufla may offset the amount of the Revenue Share previously paid against future Revenue Shares or other amounts due, or require repayment of that amount. Upon termination of this Agreement, Trufla may withhold all Revenue Shares due for a period of sixty (60) days from the date they would otherwise be payable, to ensure the ability to offset any refunds or make any other necessary adjustments.
6.6 Chargebacks: Chargebacks occur when a dispute with an End User Customer remains unresolved or a transaction is processed without their authorization. The Product Owner and Distributor acknowledge that Trufla bears no financial responsibility for such chargebacks. The following terms outline the obligations of the Product Owner and Distributor in preventing, managing, and resolving chargebacks.
a. Responsibility and Resolution: Both the Product Owner and Distributor are jointly responsible for resolving disputes arising from fraudulent transactions or chargebacks. This includes providing the necessary documentation to prove the legitimacy of the transaction and taking active measures to recover funds or hold the purchaser accountable if payment is not recovered.
b. Documentation and Action: The Product Owner and Distributor must maintain detailed records for each transaction including the customer’s name, transaction identifier, date and time of the dispute, the nature of the dispute, and actions taken to resolve it. This information must be provided to Trufla within ten (10) business days upon request.
c. Chargeback Process: A chargeback may occur due to failure to resolve a dispute, unauthorized transactions, or any breach of the terms of this Agreement. The Product Owner and Distributor understand that Trufla is not financially liable for chargebacks and is authorized to reverse transactions as necessary.
d. Excessive Chargeback Activity: High chargeback rates (to be defined by Trufla) may lead to restrictions on the Product Owner and Distributor’s ability to operate within the Marketplace, up to and including termination of the ability to use the services and accept payments.
e. Recovery of Funds: In the event of a chargeback, Trufla may, without prior notice:
-
- Charge the amount of the transaction to the Product Owner and Distributor’s Stripe Connect account (or equivalent Marketplace account);
- Adjust any credits due to offset the amount of the transaction;
- Set off the amount against any funds held by Trufla on behalf of the Product Owner or Distributor.

8.5 Security Incidents: In the event of a Security Incident, Product Owners must promptly (within 24 hours) notify Trufla and provide detailed information about the incident and its potential impact on End User Data and the Trufla Marketplace. Product Owners are solely responsible for investigation, remediation, and notifications to affected parties in compliance with laws and industry standards. Product Owners must maintain updated contact information for handling Security Incidents.
8.6 Cooperation and Review: While Trufla does not conduct security reviews, Product Owners are expected to cooperate with any requests from Trufla related to data protection, security, and privacy concerns. This may include providing information, undergoing interviews, or facilitating other forms of cooperation to ensure compliance with Marketplace standards and legal obligations.

13.4. Survival: All Sections of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including accrued rights to payment, confidentiality obligations, indemnification, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
14. Indemnity
14.1 By Trufla: Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Trufla shall defend a Distributor or Product Owner from claims by third parties alleging that the Trufla Marketplace itself, when used in connection with such Product, infringes such third party’s registered copyright or trademark within the jurisdictions where Trufla operates. Trufla shall pay damages finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction against such Distributor or Product Owner for such a claim, or, if Trufla settles the claim, the settlement amounts. Trufla’s obligations in this Section 14.1 apply only to the Trufla Marketplace itself and not to any Products, the Trufla Platform, other Trufla products or services, or other third-party content hosted on or used with the Trufla Marketplace. Moreover, Trufla’s obligations do not apply if the alleged infringement or violation resulted from any modifications, combinations, or unauthorized use of the Trufla Marketplace. As a condition to Trufla’s obligations under this Section 14.1, the Distributor or Product Owner must provide Trufla (i) prompt written notice of the claim (and in any event notice in sufficient time for Trufla to respond without prejudice), (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, settlement, and defense (if applicable) of the claim, and (iii) all reasonable necessary cooperation. This Section 14.1 sets forth Trufla’s sole liability and the Distributor or Product Owner’s exclusive remedy with respect to third-party claims of intellectual property rights infringement.
14.2 By You (Distributor or Product Owner): You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Trufla and its subsidiaries (including its respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and assigns) from and against any loss, claim, liability, damage, action, or cause of action (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any third-party claim relating to (i) any Product or the use of Product (including any claims made by or arising from End User Customers), (ii) your breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or (iii) any Security Incidents caused by your Products or third-party services supporting your Products (individually, a “Claim,” and collectively, the “Claims”). In any defense or settlement negotiations, you will keep Trufla apprised of all relevant developments, including the choice of counsel. Trufla may participate in the defense or settlement of any Claim at its own expense. You will provide Trufla with reasonable notice of any judgment entered against Trufla or any settlement terms offered to settle a Claim and you will not consent to the entry of a judgment or settle a Claim without Trufla’s prior written consent, which we may not unreasonably withhold. If you do not promptly assume and reasonably conduct the defense of a Claim or take reasonable action to settle any such Claim after being provided with sufficient reasonable advance notice to evaluate the Claim, then Trufla may take control of the defense (without limiting your indemnification obligations). Your obligations under this Section 14.2 are independent of your other obligations under the Agreement.
15. Governing Law
This Agreement and any disputes arising out of or related to it will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta, without giving effect to its conflict of law principles. Both parties’ consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts in the Province of Alberta for any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement.
16. Agreement Changes
As the Trufla Marketplace evolves over time, we may need to update this Agreement. Therefore, Trufla reserves the right to change this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion, with the changes to the Agreement becoming effective thirty (30) days after notice (unless Trufla specifies a shorter notice period). Trufla will give you notice of the changes by posting an updated version of this Agreement on its website or within the Marketplace, or by emailing you at an email address you have provided.
If you do not agree to any of the changes, your sole remedy is to terminate this Agreement prior to the date on which the changes are to take effect by (i) providing written notice to Trufla and (ii) ceasing all use of the Marketplace. If you terminate this Agreement according to the preceding sentence, the changes will not apply to you. Otherwise, your continued use of the Trufla Marketplace after the changes take effect will constitute your acceptance of the changes. In certain cases, you may be required to click to agree to the modified Agreement to continue using the Marketplace.
