Creator terms

Accepting an offer

Accepting is binding. At that moment the brand’s funds move into escrow and stop being available to them, so an acceptance you do not intend to honour has a real cost to someone. If the terms are not right, counter or decline. Both are normal and neither affects your standing.

Delivering

• Publish the agreed deliverables on the agreed platforms, by the publish deadline.
• Use the PactReach tracked link where the brief requires one. A placement published without it cannot be verified, and payment cannot release.
• Include the disclosure the brief specifies. This is a legal requirement for paid content, not a brand preference.
• Keep the content live for the minimum duration stated. Removing it early can reduce or forfeit payment.
• Do not materially edit the caption after verification in a way that removes required tags or the link.

Payment

Your net amount (after the PactReach service fee and any withholding tax) is shown on the offer before you accept, and that figure is fixed at acceptance. Payment credits your wallet when the placement is verified. For performance-based pricing, settlement happens at the end of the measurement window, once the metrics are collected.

Withholding tax

Where applicable we deduct withholding tax and remit it on your behalf, and it appears as its own line on every breakdown. You can claim it against your annual return. We show it separately rather than folding it into “fees” because it is not our money.

Withdrawals

Withdrawals require identity verification and a transaction PIN. A newly added bank account has a 24-hour cooling-off period, and larger withdrawals require a one-time code. These exist to make an account takeover unable to move your money.

Authenticity

Purchased followers, engagement pods and bot traffic are grounds for immediate suspension and forfeiture of disputed earnings. This is not a technicality: a brand paying for reach that does not exist is the failure mode that would make escrow worthless to everyone on the platform.

Managers and delegates

You may grant a manager permission to view offers, negotiate, submit content, or view earnings. No delegate can ever withdraw funds or change your bank details. That is restricted to you, and it cannot be granted away.

Usage rights

Each deal states what the brand may do with your content: whether they can repost organically, run paid amplification and for how long, whether they can whitelist it on their own ad account, and in which territories. Anything not granted is not permitted. Rights outside the stated licence period require a new agreement.
