Creator Terms of Service

1. The agreement

These terms are a contract between Upstal ("Rovalty") and you, a content creator joining a brand's creator program, powered by Rovalty. Your creator account is created the first time you sign in to a brand's program, with your customer account at that brand's store or, on a brand's rovalty.com page, with Google, and you accept these terms by signing in. There is no separate Rovalty password: you sign in only through a store's login or Google, and the same creator account, keyed by your email, opens on every brand's program. 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. 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. If you want the merchant's product to film, you ask the merchant directly using the contact details shown on the campaign; any product they send is arranged between you and them, and Rovalty is not a party to it.

Once a brand has paid you, you may rate it and review it. A review must be your honest account of working with that brand. It appears with your display name on the Rovalty marketplace while the brand is listed there. You can edit or delete your review at any time; Rovalty may hide a review that breaks these terms but never edits one.

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 unlink an account or revoke a platform's access, tracking for those submissions freezes at the last retrieved counts. You have 14 days to relink; tracking then resumes and views from the gap count. Submissions not relinked within that 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 the maturation period the campaign states, between 48 hours and 30 days, before they are eligible for settlement; this is the fraud-review window. Matured earnings are gathered into the next weekly statement (§6).
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, 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 page 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 the period shown on the statement (currently 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 the period shown with the payment (currently 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 until they settle. 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

A submitted video's caption must include the mention, name or website link the campaign asks for; a video without it is not accepted. Submitted videos must remain publicly visible, with that detail in the caption, through the campaign's stated keep-live window. If a video is found down or without the detail, you are emailed and have 24 hours to fix it. Deleting, privating, removing the detail from the caption, or materially altering a video during that window may reverse its earnings.

8. Content rights and warranties

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.
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).
Footage a merchant provides for a campaign, as links or downloadable files, may be used only in videos for that campaign.
Creator spotlight: a brand's creator page can feature its most-viewed videos. Your videos appear there only if you turn on "Feature my videos on this brand's page" in your workspace on that brand's page. The spotlight shows your handle, profile photo, the video and its view count, and never your earnings. You can turn it off at any time, and your videos leave the spotlight when you do.

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. Termination and general

You may leave a program or delete your account at any time from your workspace. Leaving a program withdraws your videos waiting for review and stops tracking for that brand; you can rejoin later. Deleting your account signs you out everywhere, unlinks your social accounts and erases your name, email, reviews and notifications at once. Either way, earnings already accrued remain owed by the merchant: statements continue to issue for 12 months after account closure to the payment method you registered, which is then deleted. If a merchant removes Rovalty from their store, everything you earned with them, including amounts still in a hold, is billed to them on one final statement, and the email you receive carries a link to confirm or dispute the payment. 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.
