8. CONTRIBUTORS
OF PUB WALKS OR OTHER DOWNLOADABLE PRODUCTS TO THIS WEBSITE
8.1 Contributors of pub walks and other information to the Website must register
first as a user of this site and register second as a contributor. Anyone accepted
as a contributor will be granted access to a secure area of the site for the
purpose of adding pub walks or other products to the MyFavouritePubWalks.com
database. This access is at our absolute discretion and we may withdraw it without
notice.
8.2 Pub walks added to the site by contributors themselves using this access
will qualify contributors for the profit sharing arrangements. Where a contributor
asks us to add pub walks to the site on his behalf then he will only qualify
for the profit sharing arrangements if we have expressly agreed to this and
notified the contributor of this in writing.
8.3 The accuracy of the information regarding any pub walk is the sole responsibility
of the contributor and no responsibility is accepted by MyFavouritePubWalks.com
or its associates for any of the content of pub walks nor for any injury or
loss that may result from the pub walks being undertaken.
8.4 Contributors warrant that they own the copyright of their pub walks and
agree to grant MyFavouritePubWalks.com a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
sublicenseable right and license to use the work in any way that helps to promote
either the pub walk or the purposes of MyFavouritePubWalks.com or both. Contributors
also agree that editorial revisions to the walk may be made by MyFavouritePubWalks.com
before or after publication on the site. By submitting a pub walk, the Contributor
warrants that the words, maps and pictures are entirely their own work and have
not been copied from another source unless the Contributor owns the rights to
do so. Contributors also agree to indemnify MyFavouritePubWalks.com against
all legal fees, damages and other expenses that may be incurred by MyFavouritePubWalks.com
as a result of their breach of the above warranty.
9. PROFIT SHARING
ARRANGEMENTS
9.1 The first accounts of Trailblazing Ltd will be prepared to 31 December 2007
and then annually thereafter and these will include but may not be limited to
the financial results of this site. A separate calculation of the profits of
this website will be made each calendar year for the purpose of distributing
50% of the site profits to contributors of pub walks to this site. The calculation
of profits for this purpose will be income less expenses and will generally
follow standard accounting principles with some exceptions as set out in clauses
9.2 and 9.3. Once this calculation has been completed it will be independently
audited by a qualified accountant within 2 months of the year end. A summary
of the calculation will be provided to all those who have one or more of their
pub walks appearing on the site during the relevant year.
Pub walks submitted as "Free sample pub walks" which are available
free of charge to all visitors are specifically excluded from these profit-sharing
arrangements.
9.2
Income will include members subscriptions, pay-per-pubwalk, advertising revenue
from publicans and any other amounts we decide to include from time to time.
Income will not necessarily include all sources of revenue of Trailblazing Ltd.
9.3 Expenses will include all Website costs
and license fees in the year that they are paid, marketing costs, information
technology and administration costs, other tax-deductible expenses and depreciation.
Expenses specifically exclude any drawings or salary of the site founder except
for reimbursement of out of pocket expenses.
9.4
Contributors will receive a share of 50% of the profits based upon how many
times their pub walks are downloaded
during the relevant calendar year. Downloads include those
made for
free by subscribing members and those downloaded using the pay-per-pubwalk option.
9.5 The preferred method of payment will be by
using Paypal but payments will also be made by direct credit to a contributor's
bank account where requested. Other forms of payment may be considered at our
discretion depending upon the type of request and the size of the payment.
We will seek to make the profit-sharing payments within 3 months of the end
of the relevant calendar year with this period being dependent upon the timely
provision by contributors of their Paypal or bank account details that we request.
9.6
If a contributor does not wish to participate in the profit-sharing arrangement
then they may elect for their payment to be made to their chosen good case or
retained by us for offsetting against the following year's site expenses.
9.7
If MyFavouritePubWalks.com makes no profit in its first year of trading, the
first period for profit sharing purposes will be extended to 31 December 2008.
