HOW TO START RECEIVING PAYMENTS

Complete the steps below after creating your Account to receive You42 payments.

(a) Connecting your Stripe account. To successfully receive payments from You42, you need an active account with Stripe, You42’s payment provider. When adding your existing Stripe account to your You42 Account, make sure that you correctly enter the email address associated with the Stripe account. This profile contains all key pieces of information which control payments for your You42 Account. Please note that you are responsible for all Stripe transaction fees. These will be passed down to you from You42.

Stripe may require you to verify your Stripe account by providing additional identification or proof of address. If this requirement applies to you, any You42 payouts released during the Stripe verification time will be deposited into your Account after verification by Stripe. During that time, You42 will notify you through email that there is an error. Please note that it typically takes up to 2 business days for verification of a new Stripe account.

Find out more about Stripe, including how to create a Stripe account, at www.Stripe.com.

(b) Who gets paid. The name and address of the person or company payments are issued to.

(i) Tax information. A W-9 form will be required for all content creators who wish to monetize their content.

(ii) Contacts. The name and contact information for people associated with your profile.

(c) Receiving Payments. When your Stripe account is active and ready, Stripe allows you to receive You42 payments directly to your Stripe account. After You42 releases your payment, Stripe typically delivers the funds to your Stripe account within 1 business day.

(d) Meet the payment threshold. If your current balance reaches the payment threshold, by the 15th of the month, a 45-day payment processing period begins. You42 will issue you a payment after this processing period ends. See more information about payment timelines below.

EXAMPLE: The payment threshold for your Account is $25, and your current balance reaches this threshold on May 15th. Once you have completed all steps above, then You42 would issue you a payment on or about June 30th. If your current balance has not yet reached the payment threshold, your finalized earnings will roll over to the next month and your balance will continue to accrue until the payment threshold has been met.

PAYMENT THRESHOLDS

There are several revenue thresholds that impact your eligibility to be paid for your You42 earnings. You may be required to act when a threshold is met. These thresholds vary depending on the reporting currency you have chosen in your account.

(a) Payment method selection threshold. Your Account must be active and will need to reach the payment threshold to qualify for a payment. You42 does not issue payments for less than this threshold, and You42 issues all payments through your active Stripe account.

(b) Payment threshold. Provided that you remain in compliance with You42’s policies and there are no holds on your Account, you will be paid out any earnings due to you when you reach the payment threshold (see Threshold Values below).

(c) Cancelation threshold. Should you decide to terminate your Account and your Account balance is greater than the cancelation threshold, You42 will issue your final payment within approximately 90 days after the end of the month in which you have terminated your Account. Please note that you are responsible for completing all necessary steps in the account cancellation process to ensure your final payment can be processed.

PAYMENT TIMELINES

(a) You42’s payment cycle is 45 days. You accrue earnings over the course of a month. Your monthly earnings will be finalized by You42 accounting and then posted to your available balance on your You42 account. If you remain in compliance with You42’s policies, have no payment holds on your account, and have a balance in your Account that exceeds the payment threshold, You42 will payout your earnings (less any applicable transaction fees) and any other credits on your Account as a lump sum by the end of the following month. Please note that the timing of your receipt of payment will depend upon your time zone, and whether the last day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday.

(b) Tracking the progress of your payments. Your You42 Account page is updated with the progress of any payments to your account. This will include items added and updated throughout the month as your earnings are determined and payment is issued. Any credits, chargebacks, etc. will also be detailed on your You42 Account page.
