Instructions for converting Content Creator owned Tokens into Cash 

We deduct a fee of forty per cent (40%) from the gross amount of each payment you receive from a Follower (expressed as a combination of Tokens and Gift converted into tokens derived from the Paid Content) after determining the amount in Tokens and converting that amount into the relevant currency. After deducting applicable VAT, third party payments, app store commissions and any other commissions, the percentage of share can be calculated and %40 of such calculation is referred to as "Our Fee". Thereafter, the remaining sixty per cent (60%) of the Follower's Payment, after deducting VAT, third party payments, app store commissions and any applicable commissions, is the Creator's earnings and is referred to as "Creator Earnings".

Our Fee covers the costs of running, maintaining and operating the Platform and storing Your Content. We deduct Our Fee directly from the Follower's Payment.

If you upload Content to your Content Creator account which shows anyone else other than or in addition to you (even if that person cannot be identified from the Content) ("Co-Authored Content"), you warrant (which means you make a legally enforceable promise to us) that each individual shown in any Co-Authored Content uploaded to your account is i) a Content Creator on the Platform; or ii) a consenting adult, and that you have verified the identity and age of each such individual and will provide supporting documents as we may request in our discretion.

You further warrant that you have obtained and keep on record written consent from each individual shown in your Co-Authored Content that such individual:

  • has given his or her express, prior and fully informed consent to his or her appearance in the Co-Authored Content; and
  • has consented to the Co-Authored Content in which he or she appears being posted on the Platform.

In addition to the confirmations above, you agree that if you upload Co-Authored Content where the other person or people appearing in the Content maintain a Creator account on the Platform, you will tag the Platform  account(s) of any person or people appearing in the Co-Authored Content who can be identified from it.

The Creator who uploaded the Co-Authored Content is solely responsible for dividing and distributing any revenue generated from the Co-Authored Content between the individuals shown in such Co-Authored Content. Any such revenue-sharing agreement shall be an independent, private agreement between you and such individual(s), and we are not responsible for providing or enforcing any such agreements.

You agree that all claims arising from Co-Authored Content shall be made against the Creator(s) who posted Co-Authored Content or the individual(s) who appeared in the Co-Authored Content (as applicable).

Circumstances in which we may withhold Creator Earnings:

We may withhold all or any part of the Creator Earnings due to you but not yet paid out:

  • if we think that you have or may have seriously or repeatedly breached any part of the Terms of Service;
  • if you attempt or threaten to breach any part of the Terms of Service in a way which we think has or could have serious consequences for us or another User (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User); or
  • if we suspect that all or any part of the Creator Earnings result from unlawful or fraudulent activity, either by Content Creator or by the User who made the Followers Payment resulting in the Creator Earnings,

for as long as is necessary to investigate the actual, threatened or suspected breach by you or the suspected unlawful activity (as applicable). If following our investigation, we conclude that (i) you have seriously or repeatedly breached any part of the Terms of Service; (ii) you have attempted or threatened to breach any part of the Terms of Service in a way which has or could have serious consequences for us or another User (including actual or possible loss caused to us or another User), and/or (iii) the Creator Earnings result from unlawful or fraudulent activity, we may notify Content Creator that you have forfeited your Creator Earnings.

We may also withhold all or any part of the Creator Earnings due to you but not yet paid out if we receive notice that you have secured, encumbered, pledged, assigned, or otherwise allowed a lien to be placed on Creator Earnings. We undertake no duty to pay Creator Earnings to third-party lienholders and may withhold payment of Creator Earnings until the lien has been removed.

We shall not have any responsibility to you if we withhold or forfeit any of your Creator Earnings where we have a right to do so under these Terms of Use for Content Creators.

If we are withholding all or any part of the Creator Earnings due to you and we determine that part of the Creator Earnings withheld by us is unrelated to breaches by you of the Terms of Service or suspected unlawful or fraudulent activity, then we may arrange for you to be paid the part of the Creator Earnings which we determine to be unrelated to breaches by you of the Terms of Service or suspected unlawful or fraudulent activity. However, you agree that if we consider that your breach(es) of the Terms of Service has or may cause us loss, we may withhold all Creator Earnings due to you but not yet paid and we may set off such amounts against any losses suffered by us.

If once we have finished our investigation we determine that Creator Earnings are forfeited, we will (unless prohibited by law) use our best efforts to ensure that any Followers Payments which resulted in forfeited Creator Earnings are returned to the relevant Followers who paid such Followers Payments.

AI-Generated Content Disclosure and Compliance
