Creator Agreement

This Creator Agreement applies to individuals and businesses using PAZA as Creators. It supplements the Terms of Service. Unless a separate written agreement says otherwise, you provide Creator services to the Brand that engages you, not to PAZA. You are an independent contractor and not an employee, worker, agent, partner, or representative of PAZA. You control how you create content, subject to the deliverables, deadlines, legal requirements, and other terms you accept for a collaboration.

You must be at least 18 years old, have authority to enter contracts, and provide accurate identity, profile, channel, portfolio, payment, and tax information. You may represent only channels, audiences, work, and intellectual property you are authorized to use. PAZA or a payment provider may require identity, channel-ownership, sanctions, fraud, tax, or payout verification.

PAZA may display profile information you choose to make visible and may supplement discovery with public or licensed information about public channels, content, audience signals, engagement, category, or prior work. Creator discovery and relevance signals are informational and may be incomplete or incorrect. You may request correction of inaccurate account information and exercise applicable privacy rights under the Privacy Policy.

You may apply to jobs, submit proposals, respond to invitations, publish Showcase projects, or accept campaign terms. Review compensation, deliverables, channels, deadlines, approval requirements, usage rights, exclusivity, disclosure requirements, verification criteria, and cancellation terms before accepting. An accepted campaign or proposal may create a direct contract between you and the Brand for the Creator services described there.

PAZA may organize accepted collaboration work through projects, milestones, and tasks. You must use reasonable care to complete accepted deliverables on time, communicate material delays, and keep task or delivery status accurate. A task status in PAZA is a workflow record and does not by itself alter the parties' legal rights unless the applicable campaign terms say so.

You retain creative control except for requirements you expressly accept, including factual claims, mandatory disclosures, brand-safety rules, product instructions, technical specifications, and usage requirements. You must not make claims you know are false or misleading. If a Brand asks you to publish unlawful, deceptive, unsafe, or infringing material, you should not publish it and may report the issue to PAZA.

You are responsible for complying with sponsorship, endorsement, affiliate, and material-connection disclosure requirements that apply to your content and the platforms you use. Disclosures must be clear and made in the manner required by applicable law and platform rules. Brand instructions do not excuse a failure to make a legally required disclosure.

You must not materially misrepresent audience size, demographics, ownership, engagement, reach, prior performance, or other information used to evaluate you. Bots, purchased engagement, coordinated manipulation, fabricated analytics, fake followers, falsified screenshots, and other deceptive performance practices are prohibited.

Where a campaign requires verification, you may be asked to submit links, screenshots, analytics exports, uploaded files, timestamps, tracking results, event records, or other agreed evidence. You must have the right to provide that evidence and must not alter it deceptively. PAZA may use automated systems and human review to assess submitted evidence. Automated outputs may be wrong and may be reviewed where appropriate.

Your compensation is determined by the campaign or other agreement you accept with the Brand. Where PAZA payment functionality is enabled, a licensed third-party payment provider handles payment processing, safeguarding, settlement, refunds, and payouts. PAZA does not itself provide an escrow account, stored-value wallet, deposit account, or peer-to-peer money-transfer service and does not take legal custody of your funds. You may need to create or verify a payment-provider account and accept that provider's terms before receiving payment.

Where a payment provider supports marketplace or connected-account functionality, PAZA may send the provider a workflow instruction reflecting whether a campaign or milestone is eligible for settlement under the accepted campaign terms. The payment provider controls the regulated movement of funds. Refunds, reversals, chargebacks, payout delays, reserves, or account restrictions may also be governed by the provider's rules and applicable law. PAZA may assist with the underlying campaign dispute but does not guarantee recovery of money after a provider or financial institution processes a reversal.

You are generally the supplier of your Creator services to the Brand and are responsible for your business registrations, invoices, income taxes, VAT/sales taxes, withholding documentation, and other tax obligations arising from those services, except where applicable law requires the Brand, PAZA, or a payment provider to collect, report, or withhold an amount. PAZA does not provide tax advice.

You retain ownership of intellectual property you owned before the campaign. Rights in new campaign deliverables are governed by the accepted campaign terms. If the Brand needs paid-media use, whitelisting, editing rights, sublicensing, exclusivity, ownership, perpetual use, or other expanded rights, those rights should be expressly agreed. Nothing in PAZA transfers rights merely because a Brand views your profile, proposal, or Showcase project.

You grant PAZA a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, process, transform, display, and transmit content you submit only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, improve, and provide the Services and to perform the collaboration workflow you requested. PAZA will not use private campaign content in a public promotional case study without permission or another lawful right to do so.

You may choose to publish projects, ideas, openings, IP information, assets, funding needs, or collaboration opportunities through Showcase. You are responsible for deciding what to make public and for using access controls where appropriate. Restricted material may be subject to an NDA or click-through confidentiality terms. PAZA does not act as your broker, investment adviser, securities intermediary, or crowdfunding portal, and financing transactions must be independently documented and lawful.

You may receive legitimate campaign, platform, support, or opportunity communications through PAZA. You must use Inbox, outreach, or messaging features lawfully and must not harass, spam, impersonate, or contact people in violation of applicable consent, privacy, telemarketing, messaging, or platform requirements.

Social networks, messaging services, payment providers, analytics tools, and other third-party services have their own rules. You are responsible for complying with the rules of the services you use. PAZA is not responsible for third-party algorithm changes, account suspensions, outages, API restrictions, or other actions outside PAZA's reasonable control.

PAZA may restrict or suspend access for fraud, fake engagement, falsified evidence, abuse, security risks, payment-provider requirements, unlawful conduct, or material breach. Where practical, PAZA will provide notice and an opportunity to address the issue. Existing payment, IP, confidentiality, tax, dispute, and other obligations that should survive termination remain effective.

The Terms of Service, Payment Terms, Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Community Standards, and the specific campaign terms you accept also apply. Specific accepted campaign terms govern the Brand-Creator commercial relationship for that campaign, while the Terms of Service govern your general use of PAZA.
