Creator Terms of Service

Version 1.0 · Last updated: August 11, 2026

1. The agreement

These terms are a contract between [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] ("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, tracking, and payment administration. 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 for payout calculation.
• 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 becoming withdrawable — this is the fraud-review window.
• 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. Payment collection — agent of the payee

[ATTORNEY REVIEW REQUIRED] You appoint Rovalty as your limited payment collection agent solely to collect amounts merchants owe you under these terms and remit them to you. A merchant's payment obligation to you is satisfied when Rovalty receives the funds from that merchant, whereupon Rovalty becomes solely responsible for delivering those funds to you as described in §6. Rovalty is not a bank; balances are not deposits and earn no interest. Merchant insolvency before funds reach Rovalty is a risk you accept as to unfunded amounts.

6. Withdrawals

• Available (matured) balance can be withdrawn per merchant program via PayPal, Stripe, or — where offered — manual bank transfer.
• Minimum withdrawal: $25 (PayPal/Stripe) or $50 (manual). A platform fee of 4% (minimum $1) is deducted at request time.
• If a payout fails or is returned/unclaimed, the amount and the fee are re-credited to your balance.
• Your balance can go negative through clawbacks (§7, §9); future earnings offset the debt before becoming withdrawable. You are responsible for accurate payout details and for your own taxes; we may require tax forms (e.g. W-9/W-8) before disbursing.

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. Disbursed funds may be recovered 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; matured, positive balances remain withdrawable for 12 months after account closure. Sections 5–9 survive termination. The service is provided "as is"; Rovalty's aggregate liability is capped at the greater of $100 and the fees Rovalty retained from your withdrawals in the preceding 12 months. These terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW / VENUE]. 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.
