5. Fees and Services
- Signing up for UBUILDAPP is free. We do charge fees for our services, such as creation of mobile applications, submission to marketplaces, and yearly maintenance fees. When you purchase a mobile application or use a service that has fees you will be charged based on our Fee schedule, which we may change from time to time. Changes to that Policy are effective immediately when we post the changes on the UBUILDAPP site. We may choose to temporarily change the fees for our services for promotional events (or new services, and such changes are effective when we post the temporary promotional event or new service on the sites.)
- There may be fees for features within an APP, for the release of the APP to the Apple AppStore, and for maintenance of an account and/or APP.
- Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with our sites and services in a timely manner with a valid payment method. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms. (This includes charging other payment methods on file with us, retaining collection agencies and legal counsel.)
6. Payments and Revenue Sharing
- UBUILDAPP allows PUBLISHER to set a fee for their APP in the Apple AppStore. PUBLISHER will be paid 50% of the gross sales for their apps, as reported by the Apple AppStore. PUBLISHER will continue to earn revenue share for as long as the APP is for sale. Earningns and payments shall be as follows:
- Currency. The Service is open to residents of planet Earth, but all payments will be in US Dollars.
- Revene Share. For applications sold through the Apple AppStore, UBUILDAPP will pay PUBLISHER a revenue share of 50% of the gross fees paid for the APP by an end user. Free APPs will have no revenue share.
- Payment Schedule. We will pay you on a monthly basis after we have been paid by Apple or other application sties. On or before the fifteenth (15th) day after the end of a calendar month, we will send you a check for the fees paid to us for applications sold during the previous month. For example, checks will be written by March 15th for money earned during the month of January and paid to us by Apple in February. However, if the fees payable to you for any calendar month are less than $20, we will hold payment until the total amount due is at least $20.
- Reporting. Statements of activity will be available for you to view through special management areas on the ubuildapp.com Site. The management area on our site will allow you to view APP downloads and money earned for the current calendar month as well as the previous calendar month. All statements shall be deemed correct. UBUILDAPP shall not be liable for any errors made by Apple or other third-party application stores.
