4. PURCHASING SERVICES.
1. Available Subscriptions.
To enjoy access to the relevant Service, you need to sign up for a subscription (“Subscription”). The Website describes the offer details (“Offer Details”) for available Subscriptions, and the Order Form summarises the Offer Details you have purchased, which are categorized as one or a combination of the following:
“Commitment Offering”. You commit in advance to purchase a specific quantity of Services for use during the Subscription Period and to pay upfront or on a periodic basis in advance of use. With respect to World Stream Minutes above those included in the Subscription, additional or other usages (for example, usage beyond your commitment quantity) may be treated either as a Commitment or as a Consumption Offering (as described below). Committed quantities of Services that are not used will expire at the end of the Subscription Period.
“Consumption Offering” (also called Pay-As-You-Go). You pay based on actual usage of the Service in the preceding month with no upfront commitment. Payment is on a periodic basis and in arrears.
“Limited Offering”. You receive a limited quantity of Services for a limited period without charge (for example, as a trial Subscription or free account). Provisions in these Terms with respect to pricing, cancellation fees and payment may not apply.
2. Ordering.
By ordering or renewing a Subscription, you agree to the Offer Details for that Subscription. Unless otherwise specified in those Offer Details, Services are offered on an “as available” basis. You may place orders on behalf of your Users under and grant your Users administrative rights to manage the Subscription, but Users may not order Subscriptions. In purchasing Subscriptions on behalf of other Users you represent and warrant that you are an authorised representative of those Users with the authority to bind them to these Terms. If you grant any rights to Users or third parties with respect to your Subscription, such Users or third parties will be bound by this Agreement and you agree to be jointly and severally liable for any actions of such Users or third parties related to their use of the Services.
Some offers may permit you to modify the quantity of Services ordered during the Subscription Period. Additional quantities of Services added to a Subscription will expire at the end of the Subscription Period unless otherwise stated in the Order Form. If you decrease the quantity of Services during the Subscription Period, we may charge you a cancellation fee for the decrease in quantity as described below in Section 5.2.
Certain add-ons, for example, World Stream Minutes, will expire if the Subscription is inactive for six consecutive months. “Inactive” in this context means neither you nor your Users use the Subscription during this period. Please consult your Order Form to understand which add-ons have an inactivity period.
3. Seats.
As part of the Subscription, you may be assigned a Seat or a number of Seats. These Seats can be allocated to your employees, contractors or agents. The Seats are individual to a User, and you have the ability to re-assign the Seat to another User, but the Seat may not be shared or used by anyone other than the User assigned.
Admin Seat. As part of your Subscription, you may be assigned an Admin Seat. An Admin Seat can assign permanent, temporary, or Developer Seats, activate and deactivate Active Regions, and add and remove Services during the Subscription Period. The number of Seats an Admin Seat can assign will depend on the Subscription and/or any add-ons you purchase. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the security of your Admin Seat username and password and, other than the User assigned the Admin Seat, agree not to disclose such details to any other User or any third party.
Developer Seat. As part of your Subscription, you may be assigned a Developer Seat which you can use to upload content to your World or list content for sale in the in-World Shop. Any item uploaded to the Shop needs to follow the Shop terms and conditions.
Seat Pack. As part of your Subscription, you can purchase a set of additional Seats up to the maximum number defined in your Subscription Plan at any time. Adding Seats will change your Subscription plan immediately for that Subscription Period, the extra cost will be due immediately. You cannot lower the number of Seats beyond the default minimum Seats required by that Subscription, lowering or increasing beyond the minimum and maximum number of Seats permitted will require a change to your Subscription. Unless otherwise stated, Seat Packs do not include any World Stream Minutes.
Daily Passes. As part of your Subscription, you may be allowed to purchase Daily Passes. A Daily Pass is locked to a single user account when they occupy (activate it) and are only valid for 24 hours post-activation. Any unused Daily Passes will roll over to the next month unless the Subscription is cancelled, in which case they will expire.
4. Regions.
As part of your Subscription, you will be allocated a set number of Active Region slots. You can upload regions (if you have a Developer Seat) or purchase any number of regions to fill these slots for your World, but the number of concurrent active regions will depend on your Subscription. The regions may be activated/deactivated anytime. The total number of Active Regions can be increased by purchasing support plans.
5. World Stream Minutes.
As part of your Subscription, you have been allocated a set number of World Stream Minutes as defined on your Order Form. Minutes commence from when the User opens the web page associated with your business, to when the window is closed or the User has otherwise logged out. Minutes accrue for each User individually (for example, if two users are logged in concurrently, World Stream Minutes are spent at twice the rate). World Stream Minutes can be purchased in advance or on a pay-as-you-go basis (which is billed on a monthly basis). Any unused World Stream Minutes will carry on to next month if the Subscription is active. Any unused World Stream Minutes will expire when your Subscription expires or is terminated.
6. Video and Audio Conferencing Minutes.
As part of your Subscription, Users of your World can use audio and video conferencing tools to voice/video chat or share screens with others. In doing so, you must ensure that your Users use the audio and video conferencing tools in a reasonable manner. Breakroom may determine that abnormal, unreasonable, or impermissible usage is occurring based on industry standards and patterns of usage of the Services, and may take appropriate steps, including suspension or termination of service. Breakroom may first contact the Customer and discuss appropriate usage and suitable plans to support valid use of the Services.
7. Analytics.
The Analytics Dashboard provides various insights relating to the usage of your World, interactions, and User behaviour. We reserve the sole right to either modify or discontinue any of the features of the Analytics Dashboard at any time with or without notice to you. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review the Analytics Dashboard from time to time and to familiarize yourself with any modifications. See our Privacy Policy disclosures regarding the collection and use of your information.
8. Support Services.
During your Subscription, you have access to certain Support Services. All Subscriptions come with a basic support plan, with a first response time defined in the plan. You can purchase enhanced support by purchasing one of the Support Plans. For more information about what Support Plans are available, and what is included in the Support Plans, please see Breakroom terms of service schedules (1. Support Services) below.
9. Sine Wave Shop.
As part of your Subscription, you have the option to enable or disable access to the Shop. If you enable the Shop for Users, or if you are selling content for your Users using the in-world shop, you and your Users must accept the shop terms. Please see Sine Wave Shop and Creator Program Terms (Part A: SINE WAVE SHOP) below.
In addition, if you are uploading content to the Shop you must agree to the Creator Program terms, referred to in Clause 4.10 below.
10. Sine Wave Creator Program.
As part of our Service we may allow you and/or your Users to participate in our Creator Program, which provides participants with access to various creative and development functions embedded within the Platform, and for content to be uploaded to the Platform. For more information, including the terms and conditions for using the Creator Program, please see Sine Wave Shop and Creator Program Terms (PART B: SINE WAVE CREATOR PROGRAM) below.
11. Pricing and Payment.
Payments will fall due and must be made according to the Offer Details for your Subscription.
For Commitment Offerings, the price may be based on the quantity of Services you ordered. When you sign up to a Commitment Offering, your first payment will be billed immediately. Some offers may permit you to modify the quantity of Services ordered during the Subscription Period and the price may be adjusted accordingly, but price changes will not be retroactive. During the Subscription Period, prices for Services will not be increased from those posted on the Website at the time your Subscription became effective or was renewed, except where prices are identified as temporary in the Offer Details.
For Consumption Offerings, pricing is subject to change at any time upon notice. When you sign up to a Consumption Offering, your first payment will be billed immediately.
12. Renewal.
Depending on the Subscription you purchase, your Subscription may renew automatically or you may be prompted to renew your Subscription. Upon renewal of your Subscription, these Terms will remain in force. If you do not wish to renew your Subscription, you may decline to renew your Subscription and your Subscription will terminate.
For Commitment Offerings, your subscription will automatically renew until cancelled, in which case it will terminate upon expiration of the Subscription Period. If the Subscription Period is longer than one calendar month, we will provide you with no less than 3 days' notice, by e-mail or other means, of the automatic renewal before the expiration of the Subscription Period.
For Consumption Offerings, your Subscription will renew automatically unless you terminate the Subscription.
For Limited Offerings, renewal may not be permitted.
All prices are subject to change at the beginning of any Subscription renewal. We reserve the right to adjust pricing at any time. Unless we expressly communicate otherwise, any price changes to your Subscription will take effect on your next billing cycle upon notice communicated through a posting on the Website or such other means as we may deem appropriate from time to time, such as e-mail. If you do not cancel your Subscription, you will be deemed to have accepted these new prices.
13. Taxes.
Prices are exclusive of any taxes unless otherwise specified in the invoice as tax inclusive. You must pay any applicable value-added, goods and services, sales, gross receipts, or other transaction taxes, fees, charges or surcharges, or any regulatory cost recovery surcharges or similar amounts that are owed under these Terms and any Subscription-specific terms and which we are permitted to collect from you under applicable law. You will be responsible for any applicable stamp taxes and for all other taxes that you are legally obligated to pay, including any taxes that arise on the distribution or provision of Services to your Users. We will be responsible for all taxes based on our net income, gross receipts taxes imposed in lieu of taxes on income or profits, or taxes on our property ownership.
If any taxes are required to be withheld on payments you make to us, you may deduct such taxes from the amount owed to us and pay them to the appropriate taxing authority; provided, however, that you promptly secure and deliver an official receipt for those withholdings and other documents we reasonably request to claim a foreign tax credit or refund. You must ensure that any taxes withheld are minimized to the extent possible under applicable law.
5. Term, termination, and suspension.
Term. These Terms will remain in effect for the duration of the Subscription Period until the expiration or termination of your Subscription, whichever is earliest.
Subscription termination. You may terminate a Subscription at any time; however, you must pay all amounts due and owing before the termination is effective.
One-Month Subscription. A Subscription having a one-month Subscription Period may be terminated anytime without any cancellation fee.
Subscriptions of more than one month. If you terminate a Subscription within 30 days of the date on which the Subscription became effective or was renewed, no refunds will be provided, and you must pay for the initial 30 days of the Subscription, but no payments will be due for the remaining portion of the terminated Subscription. If you terminate a Subscription to Breakroom at any other time during the Subscription Period, you must pay for the remainder of the Subscription Period, and no refunds will be provided.
Limited Offerings. Breakroom may terminate your Subscription to a Limited Offering at any time during the Subscription Period without notice and without any liability to you or your Users.
Our suspension and termination rights. We have the right to monitor you and your Users’ use of the Services, and we may suspend your and your Users’ use of the Services if: (1) it is reasonably needed to prevent unauthorized access to User Data; (2) you or any of your Users are in breach of these Terms; (3) you do not pay amounts due under these Terms; (4) you or your Users do not abide by the Fair Use Policy; or (5) where requested by any law enforcement agency or such other governmental, regulatory or other body. If one or more of these conditions occurs, then:
For Limited Offerings, we may suspend your use of the Services, your Subscription and your account immediately without notice.
For all other Subscriptions, a suspension will apply to the minimum necessary part of the Services and will be in effect only while the condition or need exists. We will give at least 30 days’ notice before we suspend, except where we reasonably believe we need to suspend immediately, in which case we will notify you as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. If you do not fully address the reasons for the suspension within 60 days after we suspend, we may terminate your Subscription and delete your User Data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We may also terminate your Subscription if your Subscription or any part of it is suspended more than twice in any 12-month period.

We provide support concerning the installation, activation, seat migration, configuration, troubleshooting and/or any other issues that may arise in connection with the Platform or your use of the Service.
3. Support Requests and Support Tickets.
In the event you encounter a fault or an issue with the Platform or the Service, you may issue a Support Request through our Support Portal. In order for a Support Request to be valid it must:
to the best of your ability, completely and accurately describe the issue or fault, including which area of the Service is affected; and
be in English
following which, we shall review the Support Request and issue a Support Ticket. If you have purchased an add-on Support Plan, we will after a reasonable time classify the fault according to the priorities set out in paragraph 3, below.
4. Response Times.
Once a Support Ticket has been issued, we will respond to the Support Request in accordance with the Response Times specified in the applicable Support Plan Description. Note that Support Plans refer to ‘response times’, not ‘resolution/fix times’: a response does not guarantee the resolution of the fault within a particular time frame. If you have purchased any add-on Support Plans, our response times are faster and vary in accordance with the below fault classifications:
Classification of fault | Definition |
EMERGENCY ("Priority 1") | The problem results in severe interruptions to your World or deployment of your Content. It is affecting your entire team or causes severe impairment of essential operations for deployed Worlds. For instance, data integrity is compromised, or the issue is at risk of causing missed critical event deadlines or deliverables. |
HIGH PRIORITY ("Priority 2") | The problem results in severe interruptions to your World or deployment of your Content. Portions of your team cannot perform important tasks, but the error does not impair essential operations. Your World or components in it cannot operate correctly due to issues with the Platform or performance issues are apparent. |
MEDIUM PRIORITY (“Priority 3”) | The problem causes interruptions to your world or deployment of your content, but it does not prevent the operation of your World. |
LOW PRIORITY ("Priority 4") | The problem results in minimal or no interruptions to your World or deployment of your contents (no business impact). The issue consists of "how-to" questions, including issues related to APIs and integration, installation and configuration inquiries, enhancement requests, or documentation questions. |
5. Emergency and High Priority Support Requests.
If you are suffering from a critical fault with the Platform or the Service you may make a request for emergency support (“Emergency Support Request”) or for high priority support (“High Priority Support Request”). Emergency Support Requests and High Priority Support Requests can be made via the Support Portal, which Support Request must include an accurate and complete description of the issues and be in plain English. Emergency Support Requests and High Priority Support Requests will not be acknowledged by Sine Wave Entertainment as an emergency without this notification method. In addition:
You must provide us with a designated contact during to be available at all reasonable times, either online via chat or by mobile phone, to assist with data gathering, troubleshooting, testing and applying the proposed solution.
In response to a correctly submitted Emergency Support Request or High Priority Support Requests, we will:
Contact your designated contact via phone or other real-time means.
Assign our personnel to take ownership of the issue and manage communications between you and us; and
Engage in regular communication with your designated contact for the duration of the issue.
6. Resolving Support Requests.
Once we have responded within the applicable Response Time, we will use reasonable efforts to address the Support Request by proposing a remedy for you to resolve the issue, or resolving the issue ourselves (for example, by eliminating the defect to bring your World into substantial conformity with its applicable documentation, providing updates, or demonstrating how to avoid the effects of the issue).
You acknowledge that despite our reasonable efforts, not all issues or faults may be fixed. Where an ongoing investigation is required, you will receive regular updates to your Support Request. Additionally, such updates may increase or lower the severity of the issue, in which case the frequency of updates may change accordingly.
7. Your Obligations.
We are reliant on your co-operation in order for us to provide the Support Services in accordance with the relevant Support Plan. In the event you do not fulfil the obligations set out below, we, in our sole discretion, may downgrade the priority level of the Support Request:
Use suitably qualified engineers and artists to develop your World with Sine Wave Entertainment SDK.
Provide accurate and complete descriptions of the problems and issues by submitting a support request via the support portal.
Cooperate with us where we need further information about a particular issue or fault you have encountered.
Provide us with a self-contained reproduction of issues or steps to reproduce the issues where possible.
Provide the files for the Content where needed.
Recognize that the Support Services are often a collaborative and iterative process.
Indicate which priority level the issue may be classified, as described above.
Designate senior-level contacts (ideally one, but no more than three per world) and provide contact details, so that Services personal may contact the senior level contacts at any time in response to Emergency and High Priority Support Requests. Each senior-level contact will be an authorized representative empowered to make necessary decisions for you or bring about such decisions without undue delay.
Assess Support Request responses for suitability and respond in a timely way when the response is not suitable.
8. Limitations.
Current support version. Our obligation to provide the Support Services extends only to the current support versions of the Platform and Sinespace SDK and Unity Software.
Concurrent Support requests. We will provide support services for up to the maximum number of permitted concurrent support requests, as described in the applicable Support Plan Descriptions. Additional Support Requests can be submitted at any time, but we will queue such additional requests and only commence Support Services for that Support Request when the current Support Request has been resolved and closed. You can adjust the order of the submitted Support Requests by setting priority levels via written notice to us. You may elect to increase the allowed number of concurrent Support Requests by purchasing a different Support Plan.
Support Portal. Support Requests sent to us using methods other than the Support Portal will be handled in a manner of our choosing and will not qualify for the initial Response Times set out above. All members of your team with access to the Support Portal will be able to view the full contents of all Support Requests submitted on your behalf.
Logs and Project files. Where it is necessary for you to send the viewer logs, images, or project files of your Content to Breakroom in connection with a Support Request, you must send a version of the file with all applicable references and assets, and which is ready without needing to download from external servers' connection or set up requests.
Our obligation to provide Support Services shall extend only to your Users who have active, valid Subscriptions. We will neither provide Support Services to your end-users, nor to any of your sub-contractors.
We will have no obligation to provide Support Services of any kind for issues or faults caused by User error. If after receipt of a Support Request we determine that it is the fault of or the issue was caused by user error, we will notify you and we may offer specialized services (subject to additional terms and fees) to address the issue or fault.
9. General Terms.
We may subcontract our provision of Support Services to third parties, provided that we will continue to remain primarily responsible and will ensure that such third-party providers provide all Support Services in accordance with the Terms and in accordance with good industry practice. In all instances, we will use suitably qualified personnel.

SINE WAVE SHOP AND CREATOR PROGRAM SCHEDULES
1 PAYMENT TERMS
Where you offer UGC for sale on the Platform, you agree to the following:
Upon successful sale of the UGC, you shall receive 70% of the net revenues from the sale of the UGC.
“Net revenue” is defined as gross revenues of sale of the UGC, less any costs directly resulting from the sale of the UGC, or the purchase of Gold used by the end consumer to purchase the UGC, including but not limited to:
Taxes;
3rd party referral fees;
Refunds and payments not honoured by a financial institution;
Payment processing fees;
Foreign currency exchange losses and expenses; and
Third-party commissions (such as those taken by distribution websites or marketing affiliates).
Net revenue is calculated at the point when the funds are received by us, and not at the point the end-user purchases the UGC.
If the UGC has been resold to end-users utilising Gold, the net revenue shall be based on the amount of Gold spent by the end-user receiving the UGC, multiplied by their net revenue (as defined above) value.
On some platforms, a “free” In-Platform currency may be available; for the purposes of this agreement, the value of this currency, and the resulting purchase is nil. The creator retains the decision of whether to allow their content to be made available for purchase under “free” currency. The Company will ensure the Supplier is aware of which currencies are considered “free”, and which can be construed to have value.
We shall provide you with a reconciliation of sales no later than at the end of the following quarter in which you have had sales (“Quarterly Statement”) or within 30 days of a request from you (such request not to occur more than once per 30-day period).
We agree to send funds to you within 30 days of the issuance of a Quarterly Statement, except when the total value of net revenue for that quarter is less than USD $100.00, in which case the funds will accrue until such a time as they exceed USD $100.00, at which point the funds will be sent to you.
The Company agrees to raise self-billing invoices (or their equivalent) for the Supplier.
The Supplier agrees to accept self-billed invoices raised by the Company under this agreement.
If you are VAT registered, you agree to inform us immediately of any change to your VAT registration or of a sale of your business, or part of your business.
We may from time to time, request you to produce documentation, such as invoices, proof of tax status or VAT numbers, in order to process payments to you. You acknowledge that failure to provide such documentation may delay payments to you until such time as the documentation is provided.
Upon termination of your account, all outstanding fees due to you at that time shall be settled in full within thirty (30) days from the end of the following quarter. Upon termination existing UGC granted to users within the Platform will remain unaffected and existing customers using your UGC will be able to continue their use under the terms of the Platform.
In the event, your account is terminated we shall, within a reasonable period, withdraw your UGC from the Shop, and prevent future purchases. UGC sold or transferred between two user accounts, that do not produce an additional copy of the UGC, shall however be allowed.
