Licenses issued by QwertyStock for any Content that is later removed from the QwertyStock Websites will remain in full force and effect in perpetuity.
    6. Selection and Distribution: For those accepted Content, QwertyStock agrees to create digital files of those works, and distribute them on the Website.

    2. Royalties and Statements. For any of Contributor’s Content sold by QwertyStock in accordance with this Agreement, we shall pay to Contributor an amount based on our Royalty Payment Structure specified in Appendix B (“Royalties”). All discounts issued by us and administrative fees by Payment Processors in relation to the processing of sales transactions of Contributor Content will be borne by QwertyStock. All administrative fees by Payment Processors in relation to the processing of royalty payment transfer to Contributor will be borne by Contributor.

Remaining Royalties become available to be paid out to Contributor’s external Payment Processors accounts after a waiting period of twenty (20) days since the day they were credited to Contributor’s account balance. QwertyStock shall issue a requested Royalties payout to the specified Payment Processor account within five (5) business days after such request has been received by QwertyStock. Please note that the actual payout can take longer because of delays introduced by the Payment Processor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payouts are available until QwertyStock completes the implementation of the payout system.
    4. Dispute. If QwertyStock is prevented in any way from using rights granted under this Contract because those rights (and/or the Content itself) are found or alleged to be an infringement of the rights of a third party, we may refuse to pay royalties until the dispute is resolved to our satisfaction. If QwertyStock discovers or determines in its reasonable discretion that the Content provided by Contributor appears for sale or license or free in breach of this Contract, we may refuse to pay royalties.
    5. Royalty Statement. QwertyStock shall provide Contributor with a royalty statement setting forth the licensing by QwertyStock of the Content during that reporting period.
