USERS & CREATORS SUBMISSIONS

The WEBSITE allows USERS to submit various types of electronic CONTENT, known as SUBMISSIONS, which may be hosted, shared, and/or published at FABLES' discretion on WEBSITE. FABLES doesn't guarantee confidentiality for any SUBMISSIONS, whether published or not.

You are responsible for your SUBMISSIONS, including comments, pictures, artwork, comic strips, promo images, thumbnails, statements, and copyrighted material. By completing a SUBMISSION, you affirm that you have the rights and permissions for FABLES to use the SUBMISSIONS outlined in these TOS. You grant FABLES a license to use, reproduce, distribute, and display your CONTENT on the WEBSITE. This license ends when you remove your CONTENT from the WEBSITE. You also acknowledge that FABLES may retain server copies of removed SUBMISSIONS and CONTENT for historical and legal purposes.

You hereby also agree to:

• Take responsibility for your SUBMISSIONS and CONTENT, including any copyrighted material or third-party rights.

• Not post false or harmful material, solicitations, or impersonate others.

• Recognize that FABLES isn't responsible for SUBMISSIONS or CONTENT accuracy, safety, or intellectual property rights, and waive any legal claims against FABLES regarding them.

You can link to WEBSITE materials for personal, non-commercial use only unless related to the standard business of your CONTENT, and FABLES can discontinue any and/or all aspect of the WEBSITE at any time.

With respect to SUBMISSIONS and CONTENT, the posting USERS & CREATORS retain ownership and copyrights of such CONTENT at all times providing that they own it to begin with.

In connection with SUBMISSIONS and CONTENT, you further agree that you will:

• Not publish falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage FABLES and WEBSITE or any third party;

• Not submit material that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, violate any law, or is otherwise inappropriate;

• Not post advertisements or solicitations of business other than those related to any approved CONTENT;

• Not to impersonate another person. FABLES does not endorse any USERS or CREATORS SUBMISSIONS, CONTENT or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and FABLES expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with USERS & CREATORS SUBMISSIONS and CONTENT.

• FABLES does not permit copyright infringing activities and infringing intellectual property rights on the WEBSITE. FABLES will remove all CONTENT and SUBMISSIONS if properly notified that such CONTENT infringes on another's intellectual property rights. FABLES reserves the right to remove CONTENT and SUBMISSIONS without prior notice. FABLES will also terminate a USERS' access to the WEBSITE if they are determined to be a repeat infringer. FABLES also reserves the right to decide whether CONTENT or SUBMISSIONS is appropriate and complies with these TOS for violations other than copyright infringement and violations of intellectual property laws, such as, but not limited to obscene or defamatory material. FABLES may remove such SUBMISSIONS and CONTENT and/or terminate a USERS' access for uploading such material in violation of these TOS at any time, without prior notice and at its sole discretion.

• The WEBSITE displays CONTENT using three different viewer ratings: General, Mature, and Adult. Therefore, USERS may not lie about their age and date of birth to prevent Adult CONTENT from being distributed to minors. SUBMISSIONS with mature content must flag the CONTENT as mature without exception or risk of CONTENT removal and/or account suspension. The same applies for any CONTENT rated for Adult (18+) as it must be flagged appropriately.

• Publishing on Fables - This Section of the WEBSITE is the main body of the WEBSITE and it publishes CONTENT suitable for all audiences. It also includes CONTENT rated as Mature. When CREATORS create their series, they must select the rating for General if it is applicable. When CREATORS publish an Episode, they can identify it as Mature. Doing so on one Episode will result in the entire series being identified as Mature so there are no surprises for the USERS. Such Mature CONTENT is commonly referred to as PG13, which allows for adult situations. However, no nudity, sexually explicit images, or any excessive gore is permitted in this Section, whether the CONTENT is listed as General or Mature.

• Any CONTENT published on Fables General area comes with a security parameter. All CONTENT in the form of an Episode published in this Section must be seen at least five times before any ads are delivered. If any USERS Report the Episode, all ads are suspended for the Episode until a FABLES Representative reviews it. This safety parameter ensures that the CONTENT shared in Fables General does not violate the rules of the Section and ruin the monetization opportunity for others.

• Publishing on FablesX - This Section of the WEBSITE must be activated in the User Settings by confirmed adults and it is not readily available to everyone unless they activate it. FablesX publishes CONTENT suited for an Adult 18+ audience. When CREATORS create their series, they must select the rating for Adults (18+) if applicable. SUBMISSIONS and CONTENT in FablesX have broader permission regarding what can be published. Nudity, sexually explicit images and acts, gore, etc., are permissible within the confines of the law. Please note that even the ads shown on the FablesX Section may be sexually explicit. USERS, beware before changing your settings to allow FablesX CONTENT to show on WEBSITE. FablesX is NOT safe for work.

• All new series being published on Fables and FablesX will not be immediately released for publication. In an effort to protect everyone from harmful attacks on the site, all new series must be approved by a Fables Administrator before being published. This process is usually done within 24 hours, and you have our commitment to getting it done as fast as we can. With that being said, Fables also takes this opportunity to ensure that every series is set up to achieve peak performance. We affirm that your promo image is displaying correctly, and we look at your thumbnail to confirm it is appropriate and well-centered. We also look to see if you properly entered a series description and an author description for your fans to see. This procedure is undertaken with the full intent of collaboration. We're not only in this together, but we will also succeed together.

Furthermore,

• You understand that when using the WEBSITE, you will be exposed to USERS & CREATORS CONTENT from a variety of sources and that FABLES is not responsible for the accuracy, usefulness, safety, or intellectual property rights of or relating to such USERS & CREATORS CONTENT. You further understand and acknowledge that you may be exposed to USERS & CREATORS CONTENT that are inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. You agree to waive, and hereby do waive, any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against FABLES with respect thereto and agree to indemnify and hold FABLES, its Owners/Operators, affiliates, and/or licensors, harmless to the fullest extent allowed by law regarding all matters related to your use of the WEBSITE.

• FABLES permits you to link to materials on the WEBSITE for personal, non-commercial purposes only, except as authorized for standard approved CONTENT work. In addition, FABLES reserves the right to discontinue any aspect of the WEBSITE at any time.

Please note that any CONTENT created by or in part by, the use of any AI system is strictly prohibited. AI systems create content by garnishing artistic work of others without permission. Therefore, the use of this CONTENT is hereby prohibited on WEBSITE and USERS and/or CREATORS that submit such work may have their CONTENT removed, and/or be suspended from use of WEBSITE with or without prior notice at FABLES discretion.

Fables retains the right to revisit and change its AI Content Policy at any time should the standard garnishing practices used by the AI industry should change or for any other reasons.

COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT PROCEDURE

• In particular, if you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any USERS and/or CREATORS SUBMISSIONS or CONTENT infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing;

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

CREATORS OWN ADVERTISEMENT

FABLES has created a monetizing program that allows CREATORS to be paid fairly for their work. CREATORS can choose to activate monetization on your CONTENT through FABLES' advertising program. FABLES advertising partners are approved by FABLES to run ads on the WEBSITE. In order for you to monetize your CONTENT, you must contact info(at)fables(dot)pro and ask to have monetization activated. FABLES will provide you with a USER ID along with all the necessary details such as payment schedules, procedures, etc.

As a CREATORS, you have three ad spots available to you on all of your Episode pages. A Skyscraper ad next to your Episode, the Center Square ad after your Episode, and the Leaderboard ad at the bottom of the site. You retain all revenue that comes from these ads once monetization is activated. This is done to ensure that you get paid fairly and receive as much as possible for your time and effort. FABLES can change the location or remove any ads on your page at its discretion or if there are changes in ad policies that we must comply with.

That said, please note that all ads on published episodes are automatically suspended until they reach a minimum of 5 views. This suspension is to allow the opportunity for the community to moderate the content and report any infractions. If any nudity, gore, or explicit adult-related content appears in the content within Fables, it must be reported. In the event an episode is reported, all ads will remain suspended until a Fables Administrator reviews the situation. This procedure ensures Fables and all of our Creators who participate in the monetization program aren't negatively affected by a few bad infractions.

If you don't want to monetize your CONTENT, you can use the ad spaces to promote other CONTENT, such as Kickstarter, Linktree, Ko-fi, an online store, etc., as long as it follows the TOS and as long as the WEBSITE allows it.

Please note that monetization is available for both Fables and FablesX.

FABLES ADVERTISEMENT

Please note that ads run on FablesX may be sexually explicit in nature, therefore USERS beware.

It's up to CREATORS to figure out if you need to pay taxes on the money you receive from our monetization program and to make sure you collect, report, and pay the correct amount to the tax authority. FABLES isn't responsible for deciding if taxes apply to transactions or for handling any tax payments from our advertising partners to you.

According to the law, FABLES may report accounts with earnings over a certain amount and more than a specific amount of separate payments in a year to tax authorities, if required by the law.
