Imperial Votes — Terms of Use (Organizers)
Last Updated: Feb 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern an Organizer’s (“Client,” “you,” “your”) access to and use of Imperial Votes (the “Platform,” “Service”), operated by or on behalf of JPR Global LLC (“Imperial Votes,” “we,” “us,” “our”). By creating an Organizer account, launching a campaign, or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms.
1. Definitions
-
Campaign: A voting period hosted on the Platform for your competition/event.
-
Voting Revenue: Gross amounts successfully collected from voters for votes during a Campaign, less any amounts reversed, refunded where legally required, or charged back.
-
Imperial Rate / Platform Fee: Imperial Votes’ fee applied to Voting Revenue.
2. Service Fees
2.1 Revenue Split (Platform Fee)
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Imperial Votes, the Organizer agrees to a revenue split for Voting Revenue as follows:
-
Imperial Votes: 30% of total Voting Revenue
-
Organizer: 70% of total Voting Revenue
2.2 No Monthly Rental or Setup Fees
The Organizer will incur no monthly subscription/rental fees and no setup fees for use of the Service, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
3. Settlement (Payout) Terms
3.1 Standard Settlement Schedule
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Imperial Votes will settle Voting Revenue to the Organizer monthly, processed at the end of each month.
3.2 Alternative Settlement Schedules
If the Organizer requests a different settlement schedule (including weekly, multiple monthly payouts, or end-of-campaign settlement), the Organizer acknowledges that additional bank, transaction, processing, or administrative charges may apply. Any such charges will be deducted from amounts payable to the Organizer in addition to Imperial Votes’ revenue share and any applicable transaction/clearance fees.
3.3 Additional Monthly Payouts
If the Organizer requests additional payouts within the same month, an additional 10% processing charge will apply to the amount being cleared/released.
3.4 Settlement Method
To minimize transaction costs, settlement will be made as one lump-sum payment per settlement period, unless the Organizer requests an alternative method or frequency, in which case additional fees may apply.
3.5 Bank Processing Time
Transfers may take two (2) to three (3) business days to process and reflect in the Organizer’s account after release, depending on the nominated bank and banking corridor.
4. Votes, Chargebacks & Surety
4.1 Votes Are Final
All votes are final and non-refundable, except where required by applicable law or by payment provider rules (including chargeback outcomes).
4.2 Chargeback Acknowledgment
The Organizer acknowledges that voting transactions may be subject to chargebacks and reversals initiated by voters, card issuers, banks, or processors for up to one hundred and twenty (120) days after a transaction (or such other period imposed by card scheme/processor rules).
4.3 Chargeback Responsibility
The Organizer assumes responsibility for chargeback amounts and associated fees arising from chargebacks related to the Organizer’s Campaign, except to the extent caused solely by Imperial Votes’ proven gross negligence or willful misconduct.
4.4 Chargeback Recovery Fee
In the event of a chargeback, Imperial Votes shall be entitled to recover the chargeback amount and a chargeback administration fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the chargeback amount.
4.5 Retention of Surety
Due to chargeback risk, Imperial Votes may retain a surety equal to ten percent (10%) of Voting Revenue (net of reversals) on a rolling basis for one hundred and twenty (120) days. After expiry of the 120-day period (and subject to unresolved chargebacks/disputes), the retained surety will be released to the Organizer as one lump-sum payment.
4.6 Multiple Surety Releases
If the Organizer requests multiple releases of retained surety (instead of a single release), a 10% surcharge will apply to each surety release payment.
5. Organizer Responsibilities & Campaign Materials
5.1 Promotion
The Organizer is responsible for promoting the Campaign and agrees to share the Campaign link/leaderboard and encourage contestants to share their individual voting links regularly.
5.2 Provision of Assets
The Organizer must provide all digital assets required for setup and display, including (without limitation): contestant images, contestant write-ups/biographies, competition logos/branding, and sponsor logos (if applicable). The Organizer warrants it has all rights/permissions to use and provide such assets.
5.3 Accuracy of Information
The Organizer is solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of all content and data supplied to Imperial Votes.
6. Intellectual Property
Imperial Votes (and/or JPR Global LLC) retains all rights, title, and interest in and to the Platform and all associated intellectual property. The Organizer receives a limited, non-exclusive right to use the Platform during the term of its Campaign(s), subject to these Terms.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Imperial Votes will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, or goodwill, arising from or related to use of the Platform, Campaign performance, or Organizer-provided content.
8. Indemnity
The Organizer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Imperial Votes and JPR Global LLC from claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees arising out of or related to the Organizer’s Campaign, content, promotions, breach of these Terms, or failure to obtain required consents.
9. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
