Consequently, the present Agreement does not determine my place or schedule for rendering the Services.

2.9. Notwithstanding the above, I am acting under this Agreement as a professional when rendering the Services. Nevertheless it is not intended that the Services rendered by me are to be viewed as being certified by public authorities or by any necessary accreditations, it being my responsibility to keep the end users duly aware of that fact. I understand that I am not in any way an employee of the Company and/or of any other entity related to the Company.
2.10. I hereby declare that under this Agreement I will only render high quality Services, I will not knowingly provide any wrongful or misleading information to the User of the Websites and represent that I will be acting honestly and professionally at all times.
3. Broadcaster Company
3.1. Clause 3 is only applicable to Creators registered under a Broadcaster Company Account.
3.2. The Broadcaster Company enters into this Agreement with the intent to provide Services to the Company. For this purpose, the Broadcaster Company may contract with streamers. It is not our responsibility to limit the scope of liability for third parties, especially given the content of the next two paragraphs.
3.3. The Broadcaster Company understands and agrees that the Services to be rendered by Streamers under the terms and conditions of the contract concluded between the Broadcaster Company and Streamers are of entertainment nature, namely, to perform live stream shows and chat through the Broadcaster Company’s equipment for the entertainment of Users all over the world, who have selected such Streamers according to live streams, images, offline (teaser) and paid videos or receiving the broadcast.
3.4. The Broadcaster Company understands and agrees that it is its responsibility to determine the terms and conditions of the Streamer Contract, which the Broadcaster Company will autonomously and independently determine without any influence from the Company, provided that such Streamer Contract does not result in the violation of the Broadcaster Company's obligations under the present Agreement and while procuring that Streamers must obey the rules that would be substantially similar to those of Clause 3 in this Agreement. Accordingly, Streamers will not be in a contractual or other relationship of any nature with the Company. The Broadcaster Company agrees that it will remain solely and completely responsible and liable for all the content, actions, shows, videos, chat, dialogue, and any other Streamers Services rendered under the Streamer Contract.
3.5. In order to improve the efficiency of the Streamers Services, I, as a Broadcaster Company, am authorised to use the Support provided by the Company and its affiliates, whenever deemed convenient.
3.6. I, as a Broadcaster Company, hereby certify that I work independently and that the Company does not possess any power of direction, subordination, or other kind of authority over me. Consequently, this Agreement does not determine the place or schedule for Streamers to render the Streamers Services, which are determined in the Streamers Contract. The Company does not tell me what my lawful content or the Streamers Services will be, since I am fully aware, as a Broadcaster Company, that I am responsible for Streamers to render reliable and efficient services in full compliance with the applicable legislation and intended purpose of the Streamers Contract.
3.7. I, as a Broadcaster Company, hereby certify that I have read and understood the terms and conditions of the Websites that are applicable to Users of the Websites and I am aware of the level of quality and obligations that are provided in such terms and conditions.

In respect of this, I hereby certify that I am liable for Streamers, in compliance with their obligations under the Streamers Contract, to render the Streamers Services according to the level of quality and obligations that are provided in the terms and conditions of the Websites that are applicable to Users of the Websites.
3.8. Broadcaster Company is acting under this Agreement as a professional in the frame of the exercise of my business activities (as opposed to consumers) when rendering the Services and thus will be solely responsible for paying all applicable taxes. As a general rule, the Broadcaster Company is required to provide invoices for all the Services rendered to the Company. Such invoices will comply with all applicable state and federal laws, as the case may be. In case the Broadcaster Company cannot provide an invoice to the Company, the latter may generate a self-invoice. By acceptance of these terms and conditions, the Broadcaster Company agrees to the Company operating a self-invoicing system, if needed, and accepts each self-invoice issued by the Company in respect of the Services provided by the Broadcaster Company. It is not intended that the Broadcaster Company is to be viewed as being certified by public authorities or by any necessary accreditation, it being the Broadcaster Company's responsibility to keep the end users duly aware of that fact. As a Broadcaster Company, I understand that I am not and that Streamers are not in any way employees of the Company and/or of any other entity related to the Company.
3.9. I hereby commit, as a Broadcaster Company, that under the Streamers Contract, the Streamer will render the Streamers Services with high quality, will not knowingly provide any wrongful or misleading information to the User of the Websites, and that the Streamers will be acting honestly and professionally at all times.
3.10. The Broadcaster Company further commits to guaranteeing that Streamers respect the requirements applicable to the Broadcaster Companies as well as the requirements for Streamers as provided in Clause 2 above.
