1. Vidcaster Agreement Effective Date and Vidcaster Initiation

To become a Vidcaster, You must first register and create, and then maintain, an Account on Shopchums as a Shopper. Secondly, You will become a Vidcaster coincidental with Your acceptance of these Terms (despite such acceptance, You will retain Your status as a Shopper).

You can become active as a Vidcaster:

1.1. If You have followers on social media networks, and You share the premade Shopchums Vidcaster promo video with Your followers by uploading the video to Your accounts on all social media sites, which video will contain Your unique Income ID. Very importantly, and in order for Your followers to be linked to Your Income ID for commission purposes as described herein, Your followers must open and watch the Vidcaster promo video that You share with them, and then register and open an Account on Shopchums using the registration form attached to Your shared Vidcaster video. To clarify, if any of Your followers bypass the Vidcaster video You shared with them, and then register by opening and using someone else’s shared video, or if they separately register directly on Shopchums, they will not be linked to You for commission purposes herein.

1.2. If any of Your followers (A followers) have followers, any of Your A followers may in turn refer their followers to Shopchums by becoming a Vidcaster, simply by reading and agreeing to these Terms. Any A follower (after they become a Vidcaster) can then refer their followers (identified herein as B followers) to Shopchums, by following the procedures in paragraph 1.1 above. Any such A follower (now Vidcaster) will then earn commissions with their Income ID link to their B followers, every time the B followers attend and view Shopcasts on Shopchums.

1.3. Pursuant to 1.2 foregoing, Your link to Follower A will also link Your Income ID to the B followers, and You will earn commissions for B follower views on Shopcasts, in a manner similar to how Your A followers will earn commissions.

1.4. If You are already a follower on Shopchums and not currently a Vidcaster, You may become a Vidcaster and become active by following the video uploading and sharing procedure outlined in paragraph 1.1 herein. Similarly, any social media user on any social media network may become a Vidcaster by registering on Shopchums as a Shopper, and following the procedure in paragraph 1.1. herein.

1.6. Pursuant to 1.2 herein, the commission paid to Your A followers for a B follower view for any particular Shopcast will be 20% of the per view Fee paid to Shopchums by the Business that creates that particular Shopcast, as well as for any B follower views on subsequent Shopcasts.
