6.4. PREMIUM AUTHOR’S ROYALTY

6.4.1 CALCULATION OF THE PREMIUM ROYALTY

Premium Author’s “Premium Royalty” (Rpa) is calculated as follows:

Rpa = (Ppd × Tdl / Spm) × R27crags × 50%

where

  1. Ppd = Topo price per download;
  2. Tdl = Total downloads of Topo per month;
  3. Spm = monthly sales of all Topos per month; and
  4. R27crags = 27 Crags’ monthly Net Revenue.

Topo price per download (Ppd) is determined by the formula

Ppd = nr × r × Q,

in which

  1. nr = the number or routes/pitches of the crag;
  2. Q = the quality factor (“Q-Factor”); and
  3. r = 0,02 € for mainly boulder crags, and 0,05 € for mainly traditional or sport crags.

Q-Factor represents the quality of the Topo and is the aggregate value of these subfactors (counted in when satisfied):

  1. +0.2 for crag description;
  2. +0.2 for access info, approach and GPS trails;
  3. +0.2 for quality of the Topo images;
  4. +0.1 for route descriptions;
  5. +0.1 for route properties;
  6. +0.1 for route info: firs ascent and date; and
  7. +0.1 for additional images.

“Net Revenue” is all revenue actually received by 27 Crags in respect of sales of a Premium Topo Content, less the following:

  1. government taxes and duties (e.g., VAT, excise or sales tax, governmental withholdings and foreign tax withholdings) incurred by 27 Crags in connection with the sale or commercial exploitation of the Premium Topo;
  2. any refunds paid to Premium Users and chargebacks relating to such sales; and
  3. any direct costs relating to Service maintenance and business operations.

6.4.2 ROYALTY PAYMENT

You shall receive statements of your share of Premium Royalty and such monies are credited to your account within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter for each such preceding quarterly period. Team administrators and only they are authorized to submit and change settings related to payments (e.g. payees and their account numbers).

The minimum royalty payment per calendar quarter is 300 €. Royalty payments of more than 100 € and less than 300 € will be disbursed at the latest, alongside payments for the last quarter of the year. You will be responsible for any bank fees, taxes, or other charges relating to such withdrawals.

27 Crags may at its sole discretion offer you an advance payment, which shall be separately agreed in writing between 27 Crags and you, and recouped from royalties otherwise payable to you.

As a Premium Author, you may request for your Premium Royalty to be directly paid to a bolt/access fund of your choice. 27 Crags retains complete authority to approve or reject such a request and also to revoke such payments without undertaking any obligation or liability thereof. You are not authorized and you are liable not to assign any claim against 27 Crags to a bolt/access fund without 27 Crags’ consent.

6.4.3 ROYALTY DISPUTES AND PRECLUSION

Any objection relating to any accounting statement or any legal claims arising from Premium Royalty must be made (and any lawsuit commenced) no later than one year after the date the statement is initially sent to you, and you waive any longer statute of limitations that may be permitted by law.

6.5 PENALTIES, PREVENTIVE MEASURES AND INDEMNIFICATION

In addition to what is stipulated in subsection 3.7, 27 Crags is entitled, at its sole discretion, as a penalty for a violation and as a preventive measure, to withhold any unpaid Premium Royalty.

Your copyright (all transferable rights) to the Premium Topo Content submitted by you, will be transferred to 27 Crags at the moment of resignation. The transfer is subject to the recompense of the Premium Author paid as final payment of his/her Premium Royalties amounting to last 12 month’s aggregate.
