Rovalty

Creator Terms of Service

Version 2.0 · Last updated: August 25, 2026

1. The agreement

These terms are a contract between Upstal ("Rovalty") and you, a content creator using a Rovalty-powered creator portal. You must be at least 18 and able to enter contracts. Participating in a brand's program is a relationship between you and that merchant; Rovalty provides the platform, view tracking, and the record of what you are owed — but the merchant pays you directly, and Rovalty never holds or transfers your money (see §5). Your data is handled per our Privacy Policy. You are an independent contractor of nobody here — neither Rovalty nor merchants employ you.

2. Programs and campaigns

Merchants publish campaigns with stated economics: a rate per 1,000 views ("RPM"), a minimum view threshold, a per-video earnings cap, and budgets — and, for placement campaigns, a flat fee and/or free product sample. Joining a program or submitting to a campaign is an offer to perform on those terms; merchants may approve or decline submissions and set follower minimums.

3. Social accounts and tracking consent

  • To submit videos you must link the social account that owns them via the platform's official login (TikTok, Instagram Professional account, or Google/YouTube). Linking proves ownership and authorizes Rovalty to retrieve the submitted videos' public statistics through official APIs to calculate what you are owed.
  • If you revoke a platform's access, tracking for those submissions freezes at the last retrieved counts. You have 14 days to relink; view growth during the gap is not credited, and submissions unlinked beyond the grace period stop earning.

4. Earnings

  • View-based earnings accrue as tracked views grow: once a video passes the campaign's minimum view threshold, earnings are calculated from zero views at the campaign RPM, up to the per-video cap and within the campaign budget.
  • If a campaign's budget runs out, remaining budget is allocated pro rata across currently tracking videos at that moment; if the merchant raises the budget, accrual resumes and catches up retroactively.
  • New earnings are held for a short maturation period (typically 48–72 hours) before they are eligible for settlement — this is the fraud-review window. Matured earnings are gathered into the next weekly statement (§6).
  • Placement flat fees accrue when the merchant approves your submitted video, subject to the keep-live obligation in §7.
  • Tracked metrics come from official platform APIs; those figures are determinative.

5. Who pays you — the merchant, directly

Rovalty never holds, receives, or transfers your money. Each merchant pays you directly from their own account, using a payment method you have registered. The merchant is the payer of record and is solely responsible for paying what they owe you.

What Rovalty does is compute and evidence the obligation: we calculate what you have earned from tracked views and approved placements, issue a payment statement to the merchant each week, record the payment reference they enter and your confirmation of receipt, and enforce non-payment as described in §6. We are not a bank, a payment processor, an escrow agent, or a guarantor, and we do not insure you against a merchant who fails to pay.

Because we never take custody of the funds, a merchant's obligation to you is discharged only when you are paid — not at any earlier point.

6. Statements, payment and confirmation

  • Register a payment method. You must register at least one method (PayPal, bank transfer, Wise, or Payoneer) that is compatible with the campaigns you join. Each campaign states which methods it supports, and the portal warns you before you join if you have none in common. Your details are stored encrypted and revealed only to the merchant who owes you.
  • Weekly close. Each merchant's settlement period closes Mondays at 00:00 UTC, covering the previous week. Your matured earnings with that merchant are gathered into a single statement line.
  • Minimum line. Amounts under $25 carry forward to the next period rather than being paid in fragments. Nothing is lost by carrying forward.
  • Due date. The merchant has 7 days from the statement date to pay and to record the payment reference.
  • Confirm or dispute. When a merchant marks a line paid you have 7 days to confirm receipt or dispute it; if you do neither, it auto-confirms. Disputes go to Rovalty review, where both sides' evidence — the merchant's payment reference and your account of what arrived — is examined and the balance adjusted if warranted.
  • If a merchant does not pay. We send reminders, then mark the statement overdue; a persistently overdue merchant has their campaigns paused and loses their marketplace listing until they settle. Their on-time payment record is shown publicly so you can judge before joining. These are the remedies available to you through Rovalty; the underlying debt remains between you and the merchant.
  • Balances and taxes. Your balance with a merchant can go negative through clawbacks (§7, §9); future earnings offset that debt before becoming payable. You are responsible for the accuracy of your payment details and for your own taxes; a merchant may require tax documentation before paying you.

7. Keep-live obligation

Submitted videos must remain publicly visible through the campaign's stated keep-live window. Deleting, privating, or materially altering a video during that window may reverse its earnings, including flat fees already credited.

8. Content rights and warranties

  • For view-based (clipping/UGC) campaigns you grant the merchant a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, repost, and promote the submitted video, including in paid media, with attribution not required.
  • For placement campaigns where you deliver a raw video file, you assign all intellectual-property rights in the delivered video to the merchant upon submission — effective from creation, including paid-advertising use — and waive moral rights to the extent permitted by law. You keep rights in your likeness for non-campaign purposes.
  • You warrant that submitted content is your original work, that you have all necessary rights (including music), that it complies with the campaign brief, the law, and platform rules, and that you make legally required advertising disclosures (e.g. #ad).
  • Where a campaign provides brand assets, you may use them only for that campaign.

9. Prohibited conduct

Artificial engagement of any kind (bought views, bots, view exchanges, engagement pods), submitting content you don't own, multi-accounting to evade limits, or any deception of merchants or Rovalty results in forfeiture of unpaid earnings, reversal of fraudulent earnings, and account termination. Amounts already paid to you may be reclaimed by the merchant as a debt.

10. Samples

Product samples are provided by merchants free of charge for campaign performance. Delivery starts your posting deadline; missing it may close the request and end your participation in that campaign. Samples are yours to keep unless the campaign states otherwise; selling samples before posting is prohibited.

11. Termination and general

You may leave a program or delete your account at any time; earnings already accrued remain owed by the merchant and statements continue to issue for 12 months after account closure. Sections 5–9 survive termination. The service is provided "as is"; because Rovalty charges you nothing and never handles your money, Rovalty's aggregate liability to you is capped at $100. Nothing in these terms limits the merchant's obligation to pay what they owe you. These terms are governed by the laws of Bangladesh, with exclusive venue in the courts of Dhaka. We may update these terms with 14 days' notice; your acceptance of each version is recorded, and continued participation after the effective date is acceptance.
