Secondary Content Royalty Share Calculation: When Customers incorporate Secondary Content into Products, the Secondary Content Creators can earn a Secondary Content Royalty Share as follows:
- Primary Content + Images: The Primary Content Creator receives seventy-five percent (75%) of the Royalty, while the Secondary Content Creator(s) of the Images equally share the remaining twenty-five percent (25%).
- Primary Content + Elements: The Primary Content Creator receives fifty (50) times more of the Royalty than the Secondary Content Element Creators, with the Element Creators collectively capped at receiving ten percent (10%) of the Royalty.
- Primary Content + Images + Elements: The Primary Content Creator will receive no less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Royalty. The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the Royalty will be split between the Secondary Content Image and Element Creators at a ratio of twenty-five to one (25:1), until the Element Creators reach their ten percent (10%) cap.
