Creator Agreement

1.Acceptance and eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, have an account in good standing, and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. You may not use creator tools if you have been removed from them or if using them would break the law where you live.

You must comply with the Terms of Service, the Community Guidelines, this Creator Agreement, and all laws that apply to your content and income.

You accept this agreement by opening or using the creator tools, publishing creator content, or receiving creator earnings.

2.Your relationship with Ovation

You are an independent creator. Nothing in this agreement makes you an employee, worker, agent, joint venturer, partner, franchisee, or representative of Ovation. You are not entitled to wages, benefits, expenses, or a minimum income.

You decide what to publish and when to publish it. You are responsible for your own equipment, internet connection, taxes, insurance, and legal compliance.

You may not say or imply that Ovation endorses you, employs you, or guarantees your services. You may describe yourself as an Ovation creator.

3.Creator tools

The creator tools may include:

• the Creator center and creator profile editor;
• a profile, photos, videos, voice intro, About text, tags, and avatar;
• Moments, video posts, and media uploads;
• Discover visibility and the eligibility checklist;
• content removal notices and other creator notices.

I may add, change, limit, or remove creator tools. I may impose eligibility requirements, quotas, or review steps. Features may be tested with a limited group and may change or disappear.

4.Content and licences

4.1 You keep ownership

You keep ownership of the content you create and upload. These Terms give me the licence described in the content section of the Terms of Service so I can host, show, format, moderate, and protect your content as part of Ovation.

4.2 Your promises

You represent and warrant that:

• you own or have all permissions needed to use and monetise your content;
• you have consent from every identifiable person in your content;
• you have the rights to any music, images, video, voice, or other material you use;
• your content is accurate and not misleading;
• your content does not infringe anyone’s rights or break the Community Guidelines; and
• you will honour the services you offer, subject to the limits in this agreement.

5.Creator standards

You must not use creator tools to:

• offer sexual services, escort services, compensated dating, or paid physical companionship;
• sell or advertise illegal goods or services, drugs, weapons, stolen goods, counterfeit goods, or gambling;
• mislead users about who you are or what they will receive;
• press users for money, gifts, cryptocurrency, gift cards, or bank details;
• share or sell another person’s contact details or private information;
• harass, threaten, or spam users, or keep contacting someone who has blocked you;
• record a private conversation without the other person’s consent and a legal right to do so;
• publish or misuse information about users, including their profile or information about your interactions; or
• use bots, fake engagement, or other manipulation to increase your visibility or earnings.

You must treat users honestly, respect their boundaries, and stop contact when they ask you to. If you cannot offer the service you advertised, do not advertise it.

6.Profile and Discover

Your Discover visibility preference is your intention to appear on the wall. Actual inclusion depends on the eligibility requirements and my review. The current checklist requires a complete enough profile, including at least three photos, a voice intro, birth date, country, About text, and at least three tags. I may change these requirements.

Meeting the checklist does not guarantee that you will appear, remain visible, or receive views, follows, messages, or income. I may remove or limit a listing if it is incomplete, misleading, unsafe, or inconsistent with the Community Guidelines.

You are responsible for keeping your profile, photos, voice intro, About text, tags, and availability accurate. Do not use someone else’s photos or work without permission.

7.Coins, earnings, and taxes

7.1 Creator earnings are Coins

Creator earnings, if any, are credited to your Coin balance in Ovation. Coins are an in-app item, not money. They cannot be withdrawn, exchanged for cash, transferred, sold, or inherited. Ovation does not currently offer a payout, withdrawal, or bank-transfer feature. Nothing in this agreement promises that one will be added.

7.2 No guaranteed income

You are not guaranteed any views, Coins, or income. Earnings depend on your profile, your content, your availability, user interest, and factors outside my control. I may change limits or features with notice where required.

7.3 Taxes

You are responsible for determining, reporting, and paying any taxes, levies, or social contributions that apply to your creator activity. I do not provide tax advice. If the law requires me to collect tax information or withhold amounts, I will tell you and comply with that requirement.

7.4 Records

I keep records of creator earnings and related activity for fraud prevention, support, and legal compliance. You can see your available data in the app. If you believe a record is wrong, contact support promptly.

8.Refunds and adjustments

Coin purchases are handled by Google Play. Refunds are subject to Google Play’s policy and applicable law. If a purchase is refunded or charged back, I may reverse the related Coins or creator earnings, and I may limit creator tools or your account if the activity looks fraudulent.

If a user disputes a purchase or a use of Coins, I may review the records and adjust the outcome. I may deduct Coins or earnings connected to fraud, abuse, a duplicate transaction, a technical error, or a violation of this agreement. I will not ask you to refund a user outside Ovation.

If your account is closed for a violation, unused Coins and creator earnings may be lost or forfeited to the extent the law allows. Google Play’s refund rules and mandatory consumer law still apply.

9.Moderation and enforcement

I may review your profile, content, and activity for compliance. If I believe you have broken this agreement, the Terms of Service, the Community Guidelines, or the law, I may:

• remove or restrict content;
• remove you from Discover;
• adjust Coins or creator earnings;
• suspend or close your account; or
• preserve evidence and report the matter to the authorities.

Serious violations can lead to immediate action without a warning. I do not have to continue offering creator tools to anyone who misuses them. If you believe a decision was wrong, you can appeal under the Community Guidelines.

10.Termination

You can stop using creator tools at any time. You can delete your account. If you delete your account, your profile and content become unavailable, and the account is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

I may suspend or end your access to creator tools or the Service under this agreement or the Terms of Service. If your access ends, you may lose eligibility, visibility, and the ability to earn, and Coins or earnings may be forfeited where the law allows. Provisions that by their nature should survive will survive, including content licences for copies already made, records, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, and disputes.

11.No guarantees

Ovation does not guarantee that you will be accepted into Discover, keep your listing, receive views or messages, earn Coins, or build an audience. Creator tools are provided as part of the Service and may change or be discontinued. I do not act as your agent, manager, employer, or financial adviser.

You are responsible for your own decisions about availability, content, and the people you engage with. Read the disclaimers in the Terms of Service; they apply to creator tools as well.

12.Liability and indemnity

The limitations of liability in the Terms of Service apply to this agreement. To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold me harmless from claims and costs arising out of your content, your interactions, your handling of user information, your breach of this agreement, or your violation of law or another person’s rights.

Nothing in this agreement excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, or limits mandatory consumer rights you may have. If you are a consumer, the indemnity applies only to the extent the law allows.

13.Changes and contact

I may update this Creator Agreement as creator tools or the law change. I will post the new version and update the effective date. Material changes will be communicated in the app or by email where reasonable. If you continue using creator tools after the new version takes effect, you accept it. If you do not agree, stop using creator tools.
