What this is
This Creator Assent (“Assent”) explains the terms you agree to when you submit any content through ContentCraze, including the Marketplace and Campaigns.
A Campaign may also be referred to as: Post Party, CPM Campaign, or Creator Contest.
By submitting content (or clicking “I Agree”, “Submit”, “Upload”, or similar), you agree to this Assent.
Quick summary (plain English)
- Brand ownership (the big one): If your video is Accepted (meaning it is not rejected), you sell/assign full ownership of that video to the Brand, forever, worldwide. The Brand can reuse it anywhere, including ads, websites, and social, and can edit it.
- If it’s rejected: You keep ownership. We still may keep limited copies for review, compliance, and records.
- If a Brand uses your video without Accepting it: Brands are not allowed to download, repost, or reuse videos they have not Accepted. If a Brand does it anyway, that use is treated as Acceptance under our Terms of Service: the Brand owes payment, and you keep ownership and all of your rights unless and until payment is made.
- Your likeness: You allow the Brand (and ContentCraze) to use your name, image, voice, and likeness as shown in the content for marketing.
- Keep your post up for 365 days: If your video is Accepted and you are paid for it, you agree to leave it publicly posted for at least 365 days. If you delete it, archive it, or make it private before then, we may reverse or withhold the earnings for that video.
- Authenticity: No bots or fake engagement. Follow Campaign rules and the Brand’s brief.
- Rights: Only submit content you have the rights to (music, footage, people, etc.).
- Payments: If you earn money, payouts are handled through our payment provider after review and verification.
This summary is not the full agreement. The sections below control.
1) Definitions
- “ContentCraze,” “we,” “us”: Craze Software, LLC and its platform(s).
- “Brand”: The company or organization sponsoring the Marketplace brief or Campaign.
- “Campaign”: Any performance‑based or CPM‑based program (also known as Post Party, CPM Campaign, or Creator Contest) where creators submit and/or post content and may earn based on verified results.
- “Marketplace”: The portion of the platform where Brands post briefs and creators submit content that a Brand may purchase/accept.
- “Submission”: Any content you upload, link, or provide through ContentCraze, including videos, alternate cuts, revisions, thumbnails, captions, scripts, on‑screen text, raw files, exports, and any related assets.
- “Accepted” / “Acceptance”: A Submission that is marked accepted/approved/purchased (or otherwise not rejected) by the Brand or ContentCraze (as applicable) under the relevant program’s workflow.
- “Rejected”: A Submission marked rejected/declined, removed, or never accepted.
2) Ownership transfer for Accepted Submissions (Brand owns it outright)
If your Submission is Accepted, you agree that the Brand owns it fully and outright.
2.1 Work‑made‑for‑hire and assignment
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- The Accepted Submission is a “work made for hire” created for the Brand.
- If it is not legally a work made for hire, you irrevocably assign to the Brand all right, title, and interest in and to the Accepted Submission and all intellectual property rights in it.
This includes all rights to:
- reproduce, distribute, display, perform, transmit, and otherwise use the Accepted Submission,
- create edits and derivatives (cropping, captions, dubbing, subtitles, remixing, compiling, etc.),
- use it for organic content and paid advertising on any platform,
- use it in any medium now known or later developed,
- sublicense or transfer rights to the Brand’s agencies, affiliates, ad accounts, partners, platforms, and service providers.
2.2 No further permission required
Once Accepted, the Brand may use the Accepted Submission without additional approval from you, and may do so with or without credit.
2.3 Scope
The ownership transfer is:
- Perpetual (forever)
- Worldwide
- Exclusive to the Brand
- Royalty‑free (except for the compensation described in the relevant Marketplace/Campaign terms)
2.4 Moral rights waiver
Where permitted, you waive (or agree not to assert) any “moral rights” (including rights of attribution and integrity) in the Accepted Submission.
2.5 Practical cooperation
If reasonably requested, you agree to:
- provide the final exported file(s) and/or source files you have,
- confirm the assignment in writing,
- take reasonable steps to help perfect the Brand’s ownership.
3) Limited permission back to you (portfolio + required posting)
Even though the Brand owns Accepted Submissions, you have limited permission to:
- keep the content live on your social profile if posting was required by the Marketplace brief or Campaign rules, and
- show the content in your personal portfolio.
This permission is non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, and for self‑promotional use only. The Brand may request removal in reasonable situations (e.g., legal, compliance, or brand safety concerns).
4) Keeping your post live (365 days)
Once your Submission is Accepted and you have been paid for it, you agree to keep it publicly posted on your account for at least 365 days from the date you posted it.
During those 365 days, you agree not to delete the post, archive it, or switch it to private, friends-only, or any other non-public setting.
When you can take it down early. You may remove the post before the 365 days are up if ContentCraze or the Brand tells you in writing that you can. You may also remove it at any time if you need to in order to follow the law, a platform rule, or a takedown, safety, or legal obligation.
If you take it down early. ContentCraze may reverse or withhold any earnings tied to that video, and may treat the early removal as a breach of this Assent.
5) ContentCraze license (platform operations)
You grant ContentCraze a limited, worldwide license to host, store, display, and transmit Submissions as needed to:
- operate the platform,
- review for compliance, fraud, and trust & safety,
- share with the Brand for evaluation,
- maintain records and audit trails,
- handle disputes, investigations, and legal compliance.
6) Your name, handle, likeness, and voice
You grant the Brand and ContentCraze the right to use your name, handle, image, likeness, voice, and biographical info as shown in the Submission for marketing, advertising, and promotion of the Brand, the Accepted Submission, and/or ContentCraze.
7) Your promises (representations & warranties)
You represent and warrant that:
- You created the Submission (or have all necessary rights) and have the authority to agree to these terms.
- Your Submission does not violate any law or third‑party rights (copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, etc.).
- You have permission from anyone who appears or is heard in the content (or you have removed/blurred them).
- Any music, footage, and assets are properly licensed for the intended uses. - Important: Music usable on social platforms may not be cleared for off‑platform advertising.
- You will follow the Brand’s brief and any program rules (including disclosure requirements like #ad where required).
7.1 Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ContentCraze and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:
- your Submissions or your conduct;
- your breach of this Assent, any program rules, or applicable law;
- your violation of any third‑party rights (including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights); or
- content you post to your own social account, including any failure to make required disclosures (such as #ad).
This obligation is in addition to, and does not limit, the indemnification obligations in the Terms of Service.
8) Campaign rules (CPM / performance programs)
If you participate in a Campaign:
- Earnings (if any) are calculated from verified results under the Campaign rules (for example, CPM rate per 1,000 verified views) and may be limited by a Brand’s budget, timing, eligibility requirements, and other program variables.
- You must not use prohibited methods to inflate performance (bots, click farms, engagement pods, purchased views/likes/comments, etc.).
- ContentCraze may audit results, remove ineligible views, and disqualify content that violates program rules or appears fraudulent.
8.1 Authenticity warranty
When you join the network and whenever you submit content, you represent and warrant that:
- All content you submit is your own original work, created by you.
- The metrics on your connected social account (followers, views, engagement) are organic and were earned without bots, purchased engagement, or any artificial inflation.
- One person uses one account. You do not operate multiple creator accounts, and your account is not shared with or operated by anyone else.
8.2 Strike and removal policy
ContentCraze enforces a standing policy to keep the network honest:
- Immediate removal. Content theft (submitting or reposting content that is not your own) or misrepresenting your country or location results in immediate removal from the network.
- Accumulating violations. Quality and program-rule violations accumulate toward suspension. Repeated violations may result in removal even where no single violation triggers immediate removal.
8.3 Forfeiture of unpaid earnings
If you are removed from the network for fraud, content theft, or misrepresenting your country or location, you forfeit any unpaid earnings in your account at the time of removal. Amounts already paid out to you are not affected.
8.4 Application and audition
- Joining the network requires an application. Acceptance is at ContentCraze's sole discretion, and ContentCraze may accept, waitlist, or decline any application.
- As part of the application you may be asked to record a short introduction video. This video is used internally to review your application and to help verify your identity.
- Your introduction video is never shown to brands without your consent.
9) Marketplace rules
If you submit to a Marketplace brief:
- If the Brand purchases/accepts your Submission, it becomes an Accepted Submission and ownership transfers as described above.
- If the Brand rejects/declines, ownership does not transfer.
- Some briefs may require posting or specific deliverables (length, hooks, format, disclosures). Those requirements will be shown in the brief and control for that brief.
10) Payments, verification, and taxes
- Payments are processed through a third‑party payment provider.
- You may be required to complete identity verification (KYC) and provide tax information.
- Payout timing and eligibility are controlled by the applicable Marketplace/Campaign rules and review processes.
- You are responsible for all taxes on earnings.
- You participate as an independent contractor. You are not an employee, agent, or joint employee of ContentCraze or of any Brand, and you are solely responsible for your own taxes, tools, and equipment.
11) Moderation, takedowns, and disputes
ContentCraze may reject, remove, or disqualify any Submission that violates this Assent, the Brand’s brief, program rules, platform policies, or applicable law.
If a dispute process or deadline is provided in the program, you must follow it. If none is provided, disputes must be raised within a reasonable time.
12) Eligibility
You must meet the age requirements in your region. If you are under 18 (or under the local age of digital consent), a parent/guardian must consent where required.
