Terms of Use

Terms of Use

Crelio Tech, Inc.

Effective: September 15, 2026

Creator promotion update. Section 5 expressly prohibits Creators from paying for or arranging any promotion or boosting of Campaign Content during its tracking window, including legitimate platform advertising. Businesses and Flare may continue to run paid advertising under the applicable content rights.

Important update. Since August 14, 2026, Flare has been the contracting principal for Campaign Services. Businesses purchase Campaign Services from Flare, and Creators perform Creator Services for Flare as independent contractors. This replaced the prior structure in which a Campaign agreement formed directly between a Business and a Creator and Flare acted as the Creator's limited payment-collection agent. Section 4.6 explains the transition.

These Terms are organized as follows: general provisions apply to everyone; provisions expressly directed to Businesses apply when you use Flare for a company, agency, advertiser, or other organization; and provisions expressly directed to Creators apply when you perform creator work.

1. Introduction and acceptance

Flare is operated by Crelio Tech, Inc. ("Flare," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), a Delaware corporation currently in the process of changing its legal name to Flare Tech, Inc., with its registered address at 1111B S Governors Ave STE 52394, Dover, DE 19904, USA. Certain services may be provided with support from our affiliates, including Digital Trend AS (Norway), during a transition period.

By creating an account, accessing or using the Services, funding a Campaign, accepting a Creator engagement, or clicking an acceptance control, you agree to these Terms and the Campaign-specific terms you accept. If you act for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it, and "you" includes that organization. You must be at least eighteen (18) and legally able to contract.

We may update these Terms prospectively. We will post the revised Terms, change the effective date, and provide additional notice by email or in the Services for a material change. Continued use after the stated effective date constitutes acceptance, except where applicable law requires another form of consent.

"Content" means text, images, video, audio, data, and other material submitted to or through the Services.

3. Accounts, verification, and security

You must provide accurate, current information, safeguard your credentials, and promptly report suspected unauthorized use. You may not create false, duplicate, transferred, shared, or impersonated accounts. Flare and its providers may require business, identity, age, social-account, tax, sanctions, payment, or payout verification and may require reverification. Failure to complete required verification may restrict Campaign participation, funding, acceptance, Creator Earnings, or payouts.

An organization is responsible for its administrators, employees, contractors, agency personnel, permissions, and activity performed with actual, implied, or apparent authority through its account.

4. Contractual structure and Campaign formation

4.1 Business purchases Campaign Services from Flare

A Business contracts with Flare to purchase Campaign Services. The Business does not ordinarily engage or owe payment directly to the Creator. Flare may use Creators and other independent contractors to perform parts of the Campaign Services, while remaining the Business's contracting counterparty for the Campaign Services described in the accepted Campaign record.

The Business is responsible for Campaign specifications, lawful products and claims, approvals, materials it supplies, Campaign Funding, and its other obligations under these Terms and the Brief. The applicable Campaign record, Brief, pricing, order form, statement of work, or other accepted terms supplement these Terms. Campaign-specific terms may set compensation rates and calculations, quantities, required accounts and platforms, deadlines, tracking windows, Deliverable requirements, and content rights, but may not replace or postpone the fixed earning points in Section 8.4.

4.2 Creator performs Creator Services for Flare

When a Creator accepts a Campaign engagement, the Creator contracts with Flare as Flare's independent contractor to provide the Creator Services described in the Campaign record and Brief for the benefit of the applicable Business. The Business is the customer and intended commercial beneficiary of the applicable Deliverables, warranties, performance obligations, and content rights, but is not the Creator's employer, principal, partner, joint venturer, or ordinary payment obligor.

The Creator may accept or decline opportunities, controls the manner, means, location, schedule, tools, and creative process used to perform the work subject to the Deliverables, deadlines, law, platform rules, and brand-safety requirements, and receives no guarantee of minimum work. Unless a Brief states otherwise, the Creator supplies their own equipment and bears their own expenses.

4.3 Electronic Campaign record

The Campaign engagement consists of the Campaign-specific terms shown to and accepted by the Creator, the applicable Brief and frozen compensation and rights settings, and these Terms. Selecting Join campaign, Start trial, or another clearly labeled Campaign-start action constitutes acceptance of that Campaign engagement. The Platform's versioned record of the accepted terms is the record of the engagement; no separate checkbox, acceptance screen, or paper signature is required. Flare may accept or countersign through electronic activation or processing of the engagement.

4.4 No employment, fiduciary, or general agency relationship

A Creator is not an employee, general agent, partner, joint venturer, or representative of Flare or the Business and has no authority to bind either. Nothing creates a talent-agency, employment-agency, trustee, escrow, fiduciary, partnership, or joint-venture relationship. Flare is not appointed as a Creator's payment-collection agent and does not receive or hold money owned beneficially by a Creator.

4.5 Flare's role

Flare provides bona fide creator-campaign and UGC services, including technology, procurement, contracting, administration, review, analytics, rights administration, and payment operations. Flare may select Creators, administer performance and disputes, determine eligibility under the agreed rules, and engage third-party providers. Flare does not guarantee Creator availability, content performance, views, engagement, conversions, revenue, return on spend, or any other result unless a signed agreement expressly provides a specific guarantee and remedy.

4.6 Transition from the prior marketplace structure

These Terms replace the prior direct Business-to-Creator Campaign Agreement and limited payment-collection agency structure as of August 14, 2026. From that date:

all ongoing and new Campaign Services are purchased from Flare;
all ongoing and new Creator Services are performed for Flare;
Flare assumes and will administer any eligible, unpaid Creator Compensation reflected in the Platform at the transition, subject to the same Campaign requirements, verification, dispute, hold, offset, and reversal rules that applied when the amount arose;
no Business remains responsible for paying a Creator directly for an amount Flare has assumed under this paragraph; and
rights already vested in an accepted Deliverable remain valid and are not narrowed, expanded, or revoked by the transition. For ongoing and future rights, the rights chain in Section 10 applies.

Completed payments, accepted Deliverables, and historical electronic records remain valid records of what occurred. This transition does not convert a completed transaction into a different historical transaction or change a tax or accounting result by contract label alone.

5. Creator performance and Campaign compliance

A Creator must personally perform accepted work professionally, timely, and in accordance with the Brief; make honest endorsements and clear, conspicuous advertising disclosures required by law, including applicable FTC requirements; use only material the Creator may lawfully use; maintain required social-account access; report delays and conflicts; and provide reasonable proof of performance, native analytics, original files, or account ownership when requested.

As a condition of continuing to participate in a Campaign, a Creator must, upon Flare's request and by the stated deadline, provide current screenshots or native exports of analytics from each social account or profile designated for that Campaign. The materials must clearly show the requested account, reporting period, and metrics and must be complete and unaltered, except for redactions Flare expressly permits. Flare may request analytics reasonably needed to verify account control, publication, views, reach, engagement, audience information, or other Campaign performance. If the Creator does not provide the requested materials on time, Flare may immediately pause or terminate the Creator's participation and prevent additional work or compensation from accruing after the pause. Failure to provide analytics does not by itself erase Creator Compensation already earned under Section 8.4; suspected fraud, manipulation, or misrepresentation remains subject to Section 9.6.

Creators may not directly or indirectly cause, buy, solicit, coordinate, conceal, tolerate, or knowingly benefit from Invalid Traffic; use bots, click farms, device farms, engagement pods, traffic exchanges, scripts, account farms, deceptive redirects, undisclosed incentives, VPN or location manipulation, or coordinated activity to inflate Campaign results; manipulate or attempt to deceive a social platform's recommendation, analytics, advertising, moderation, or enforcement systems; or hire or permit another person to do so. A Creator is responsible for traffic or promotion vendors, agents, collaborators, and other persons the Creator selects or controls. The Creator must promptly report suspicious spikes or known Invalid Traffic and take reasonable steps requested by Flare to stop, investigate, document, or mitigate it.

No Creator paid promotion during tracking. Throughout each Campaign Content item's applicable tracking or measurement window, as specified in the accepted Campaign record or Brief, the Creator must not directly or indirectly purchase, fund, initiate, arrange, commission, or continue any form of paid promotion, advertising, boosting, or paid amplification of that Content. This includes TikTok Promote, Instagram or Facebook Boost, other platform advertising tools, paid placements or shoutouts, and third-party promotion or traffic services. The prohibition applies even if the promotion is lawful, permitted by the social platform, or reaches genuine people. It also applies when someone else pays or acts at the Creator's request or on the Creator's behalf, and when promotional credits, vouchers, or non-cash consideration are used instead of money. A promotion started before the tracking window must not remain active during it.

Business advertising remains permitted. This Creator restriction does not prohibit the Business or Flare from funding and running paid advertising using Campaign Content within the applicable content rights, including Spark Ads and Partnership Ads. A Creator may provide the permissions or authorization codes needed for that advertising; doing so alone is not prohibited Creator promotion. Creators must not pass off paid views or engagement as organic performance or use another person or account to evade the restriction.

Paid views and engagement do not count toward organic performance thresholds or organic performance-based Creator Compensation, regardless of who funds the promotion. A Creator must promptly disclose any prohibited promotion, stop it, and provide the promotion records and native analytics Flare requests. Breaches are subject to the investigation, hold, exclusion, reversal, and recovery provisions of Section 9.6. The separate prohibitions on Invalid Traffic and platform manipulation continue to apply before, during, and after the tracking window.

Unless a Brief states otherwise, Campaign Content required to remain public must remain accessible for 180 days after posting, subject to law, platform action not caused by the Creator, credible safety concerns, or Flare's written direction.

6. Business Campaign and regulatory responsibilities

A Business is responsible for the legality, safety, substantiation, licensing, labeling, targeting, and availability of its products, services, offers, claims, scripts, materials, customer lists, and instructions. It must comply with advertising, endorsement, consumer-protection, privacy, communications, accessibility, age-restriction, and other applicable laws and platform rules. It must not direct a Creator to make false, misleading, unsubstantiated, unlawful, or inadequately disclosed statements.

Flare may reject, pause, or discontinue Campaigns involving heightened legal, financial, safety, reputational, or provider risk and may require additional documentation or restrictions.

7. Subscriptions, pricing, and fees

Flare may offer monthly, annual, usage-based, or custom plans at the prices, limits, and features shown at enrollment or in an order. Paid subscriptions automatically renew until canceled. Cancellation is effective at the end of the current billing period; charged subscription periods are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly agreed.

A Campaign may display Creator Compensation, Flare platform or service fees, processing fees, and total Campaign cost separately for transparency. Contractually, the Business purchases and pays Flare for Campaign Services. A displayed Creator Compensation component is not money the Business transmits through Flare to the Creator; Flare independently incurs its Creator Compensation obligation under Section 8.

Flare fees may become earned and non-refundable when charged, incurred, work begins, resources or Creator capacity are reserved, or as otherwise disclosed. Provider and processing fees may be non-refundable even where eligible Campaign Funding is returned.

Promotional credits are non-cash, non-withdrawable, and non-refundable; they are applied to eligible Creator costs before purchased Campaign Funding and expire 365 days after issuance.

Creator Pro money-back guarantee

Where the 30-day money-back guarantee is displayed at checkout, your first Creator Pro purchase on the Flare website is covered. Email [email protected] from your account email within 30 days of your first payment to request a full refund of the Creator Pro subscription charges paid during that window, including a paid trial and any renewal within it. No reason is required. We will cancel the subscription and refund those charges to the original payment method; Pro access ends when the refund is processed. This guarantee applies to web purchases, not purchases billed by Apple or Google, which follow the respective store's refund process. It does not limit any refund rights you have under applicable law.

8. Campaign Funding and Flare's Creator payment obligations

8.1 Pre-funding is required

A Business must maintain sufficient Campaign Funding before a Creator may be invited, engaged, activated, or permitted to perform payable work. Flare does not extend ordinary credit by default. Flare may immediately and without advance notice block activation or halt new work, uploads, publishing, tracking, earning, or payout administration when funding is insufficient, reversed, disputed, or at material risk. A funding halt stops new Creator Compensation from accruing after the halt; it does not erase Creator Compensation earned before the halt under Section 8.4.

8.2 Internal Campaign Funding ledger

Campaign Funding is an internal bookkeeping and contractual ledger maintained by Flare. It is not a bank account, deposit account, prepaid account, stored-value account, trust account, escrow account, custodial account, investment account, general-purpose wallet, or money-transfer account. It earns no interest, cannot be transferred between unrelated users, and does not give a Business or Creator ownership of or a beneficial interest in specific funds or any particular Flare bank account.

Flare may maintain pooled corporate funds in its own bank, treasury, and payment-provider accounts. No specific dollar is segregated for a Business or Creator unless Flare expressly agrees in a separate signed writing and actually implements that segregation.

8.3 Uncommitted and committed Campaign Funding

Campaign Funding is uncommitted to the extent it is not reserved for or applied to active Creator engagements, accrued or earned Creator Compensation, bonuses, refunds, fees, reversals, reserves, or other outstanding Campaign obligations. Eligible uncommitted funding may be returned to the Business subject to fraud review, chargeback and reversal exposure, processing costs, open Campaign obligations, and amounts the Business owes Flare.

Campaign Funding becomes committed when Flare reserves Creator capacity or incurs or reasonably expects a non-cancelable Campaign obligation, and becomes applied when Creator Compensation, a fee, refund, adjustment, or other Campaign amount accrues. Committed or applied amounts are not withdrawable merely because the Business changes its mind.

8.4 Fixed earning points; Creator Compensation is Flare's payable

The earning point is determined only by whether the Campaign requires the Creator to publish the Deliverable. A Campaign record, Brief, approval setting, review window, or Business instruction may not replace or postpone these earning points:

Content-only Campaigns. If the Campaign does not require Creator publication, the agreed per-Deliverable Creator Compensation becomes earned when the Creator completes upload of the required Deliverable through the Platform before an effective halt or cancellation. Business approval, deemed acceptance, and the end of a review window are not earning conditions.
Posting Campaigns. If the Campaign requires Creator publication, Creator Compensation becomes earned only as the required Deliverable is actually published through the required Creator account to the applicable platform before an effective halt or cancellation and the publication is verified as satisfying the Campaign requirements. A draft, upload, submission for review, approval, scheduled post, or unfinished work does not itself earn Creator Compensation. Performance-based amounts continue to accrue only under the stated measurement window and calculation rules after the qualifying publication.

When Creator Compensation becomes earned under this Section, Flare incurs its own contractual obligation to pay the Creator, subject to the verification and Creator-caused reversal rights in Section 9. The Creator's claim is against Flare as obligor, not against the Business or a specific bank balance. A later Business chargeback, reversal, cancellation, or unrelated dispute does not by itself erase properly earned Creator Compensation. Flare retains all remedies against the Business for improper chargebacks, reversals, unpaid obligations, fraud, processor fees, collection costs, and breach.

8.5 Funding authorization and improper disputes

A Business authorizes Flare and its processors to charge approved payment methods for disclosed Campaign Funding, Campaign Services, fees, subscriptions, overages, reversals, and other authorized obligations. Before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute, the Business must contact Flare and allow a reasonable opportunity to investigate, except where a non-waivable right applies. Knowingly false or bad-faith disputes are a material breach.

9. Creator Earnings, verification, and payouts

9.1 Bookkeeping states

The Platform may show Creator Earnings as Calculated, Earned, Verifying, Ready, Payout Pending, Paid, Held, or Reversed. Creator Earnings shown through the Platform are bookkeeping records of amounts payable by Flare and do not represent ownership of or a beneficial interest in any specific funds or bank account maintained by Flare. Creator balances do not earn interest and are not bank accounts, deposits, stored value, custody accounts, or general-purpose wallets.

9.2 Verification hold

Creator Compensation ordinarily enters a verification period currently lasting fourteen (14) days, or the period displayed for the applicable Campaign. During that period Flare may verify performance, metrics, identity, compliance, content availability, approvals, and fraud. Amounts become Ready for Payout after the applicable hold and requirements are satisfied. A hold may continue where reasonably necessary for an active fraud, provider, bank, card-network, sanctions, tax, legal, or dispute proceeding.

9.3 Provider-neutral payouts

Flare chooses the approved payout provider available to a Creator based on geography, compliance, provider availability, cost, and operational considerations. Providers may include Stripe Connect, Whop, or another provider Flare designates. The inbound Business payment processor and outbound Creator payout provider need not be the same provider. Flare may receive Business payments through Stripe, ACH, wire, invoice, or another approved method and discharge its Creator payables through a different approved provider.

Creators must complete the assigned provider's identity, sanctions, tax, bank, and payout onboarding and keep the information accurate. The provider controls its own verification, methods, processing, settlement timing, and restrictions. Flare generally receives statuses and identifiers rather than complete payment credentials.

To receive payment from Flare, each Creator is solely responsible for creating, connecting, verifying, and maintaining an account with the payout solution designated by Flare; completing all identity, sanctions, tax, bank, and other provider requirements by the applicable deadlines; responding promptly to provider requests; and ensuring that the Creator's country, identity, tax status, bank, and requested payout method are accurate and supported. Flare does not guarantee that any payout provider will approve or continue to support a Creator or a requested payout method. Flare is not responsible for any delayed, rejected, restricted, suspended, or unavailable payout caused by the Creator's failure or inability to satisfy these responsibilities or by a payout provider's independent review, decision, availability, restriction, or service limitation. Flare may condition a payout request, disbursement, or eligibility for Campaign work on completion and continued satisfaction of applicable payout, identity, tax, sanctions, fraud-prevention, and provider requirements.

A Creator may request payout only to the Creator through an approved method. Creator Earnings cannot be transferred to another Creator or an arbitrary third party, used for person-to-person payments, exchanged as stored value, or used for a transaction unrelated to a bona fide Flare Campaign.

9.4 Payout minimum

A payout request must meet the minimum payout amount displayed in the Platform, currently one hundred United States dollars (US$100) of Ready balance. Amounts below the minimum remain payable and continue to accumulate until the minimum is reached. Flare may change the minimum prospectively, and may waive it, including on account closure or where a Creator can no longer earn on the Platform.

The minimum exists because payout providers charge substantially fixed costs per disbursement, which consume a disproportionate share of a small payout.

9.5 Fees and taxes

Any Creator payout fee and net payout are shown before confirmation. Creators are responsible for taxes arising from Creator Compensation. Flare, a payout provider, or another applicable paying entity may collect tax information, withhold amounts, or file tax forms where required and supported by the applicable arrangement. Use of a provider does not change a party's legal tax obligations. Creators should obtain independent tax advice.

9.6 Creator-caused holds, reversals, and offsets

Invalid Traffic does not qualify for Creator Compensation, regardless of whether the Creator caused it, knew about it, or a social platform initially counted or displayed it. Flare may determine eligible activity using information reasonably available to it, including Platform records; social-platform APIs, analytics, enforcement actions, and retroactive adjustments; raw or native analytics; account, audience, timing, geographic, device, network, referral, conversion, and payment signals; third-party fraud tools; Business evidence; and statistically anomalous patterns. A public counter, screenshot, or a social platform's preliminary metric is not conclusive.

While suspected fraud, Invalid Traffic, platform manipulation, or related misconduct is investigated, Flare may immediately pause tracking, new work, Campaign participation, account access, or payouts and place affected or reasonably related Creator Earnings on hold for up to 180 days. A hold may continue longer while reasonably necessary for an active social-platform, payment-provider, bank, card-network, governmental, litigation, arbitration, or other external proceeding. The Creator must cooperate and provide complete, authentic records by Flare's deadline. Flare may draw an adverse inference, treat disputed activity as ineligible, or decide the matter on the available record if the Creator fails to cooperate, withholds requested evidence, or provides altered, incomplete, inconsistent, or false information.

Flare may withhold, exclude, reduce, reverse, offset, or recover amounts reasonably connected to fraud; Invalid Traffic; platform manipulation or attempted circumvention; impersonation; account sharing; work Flare determines materially failed objective Campaign requirements; intellectual-property or disclosure violations; prohibited early content removal; duplicate payment; overpayment; manifest tracking or calculation error; unlawful conduct; Creator breach; or a provider, court, or government instruction. If a Creator caused, directed, purchased, encouraged, concealed, knowingly benefited from, or failed to mitigate Invalid Traffic or related misconduct, Flare may also terminate the engagement or account, disqualify affected Campaign activity, offset future amounts, and recover affected compensation already paid together with reasonably resulting chargebacks, refunds, investigation costs, provider costs, and other losses.

Flare is not required to disclose confidential detection methods, thresholds, models, security procedures, third-party information, or evidence whose disclosure could enable circumvention, compromise an investigation, violate law or another duty, or impair fraud prevention. Flare will make its initial administrative determination in good faith from the information reasonably available. A Business rejection by itself does not reverse Creator Compensation. Any final forfeiture will be reasonably connected to the affected work, violation, or resulting loss.

A Business dispute pauses only the genuinely disputed amount while Flare reviews it; undisputed and properly earned amounts remain payable. Ending a collaboration does not by itself claw back Creator Compensation already earned.

10. Deliverable review and intellectual-property chain

10.1 Review and acceptance

The Business must review a Deliverable within the period stated in the Brief or, if none is stated, the then-current product review window. A rejection must be timely, specific, in good faith, and tied to the agreed requirements. Silence after the review period constitutes acceptance. Review and acceptance determine quality, revision, use, and rights administration; they do not change the earning points in Section 8.4. A late, retaliatory, fraudulent, pretextual, or clearly unrelated rejection does not eliminate otherwise earned Creator Compensation. Flare may make the initial administrative determination, without preventing formal remedies under Section 20.

10.2 Creator to Flare; Flare to Business

The Campaign record determines ownership, license scope, duration, exclusivity, paid-media rights, raw-file obligations, likeness rights, and portfolio restrictions. The following defaults apply only where the Campaign record does not expressly provide otherwise:

Deliverable-based work. On the completed Platform upload that earns Creator Compensation under Section 8.4, the Creator assigns to Flare all right, title, and interest in the uploaded Deliverable, excluding Creator Background IP. Flare may contemporaneously or subsequently assign the same acquired rights to the Business. The Creator grants Flare, with the right to sublicense to the Business, a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to Creator Background IP only to the extent embedded in and necessary to use the Deliverable.
Creator-posted work. On acceptance or qualifying publication, the Creator grants Flare a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, reproduce, publish, display, distribute, edit, adapt, combine, create derivative works from, advertise with, and otherwise exploit the Deliverable, including paid media and the Creator's name, voice, image, likeness, handle, and performance as embodied in it. Flare grants or sublicenses the applicable Campaign rights to the Business.

"Creator Background IP" means the Creator's pre-existing tools, processes, templates, know-how, stock elements, persona, likeness outside the Deliverable, and material created independently of the Campaign. Raw footage and project files are required only when the Campaign record says so. The Creator may display publicly released work in a personal portfolio unless confidentiality, exclusivity, or the Campaign record says otherwise. To the extent permitted by law and necessary for the granted uses, the Creator waives and agrees not to assert moral rights, except where the Campaign record preserves them.

Rights do not pass for rejected work the Business may not use. Campaign-specific limits pass through the Creator → Flare → Business chain without expansion. Vested rights survive payment, termination, and the transition in Section 4.6.

10.3 Third-party material

The Business is responsible for claims, scripts, trademarks, music, footage, customer data, and materials it supplies or directs. The Creator is responsible for third-party material and participants the Creator independently selects. Each party represents it has the rights and permissions necessary for its contribution.

11. Confidentiality and privacy

Non-public Briefs, pricing, strategies, customer information, unreleased products, access credentials, analytics, communications, and security information must be protected with reasonable care and used only for the Services and the applicable Campaign. These duties do not cover information lawfully known without restriction, independently developed, lawfully received without duty, or made public without breach.

Our Privacy Policy describes how Flare processes personal information and is incorporated by reference. Feature-specific privacy notices and choices also apply.

12. Social platforms and third-party services

The Services may connect with social networks, advertising platforms, payment processors, payout providers, identity-verification services, analytics providers, and other third parties. Their terms also apply. Flare does not control their outages, APIs, moderation, account restrictions, ad rejections, data accuracy, security incidents, fees, settlement timing, or compliance decisions and may suspend an integration when necessary.

You authorize Flare and its providers to access and use connected-account information within the permissions you grant to administer Campaigns, publish at your direction, measure performance, prevent fraud, and provide the Services.

13. Limited-purpose payment activity; prohibited transfers

Flare provides creator-campaign and UGC services, not a general-purpose money-transfer product. Users may not use Flare to send arbitrary money to another user, remit funds to arbitrary third parties, perform person-to-person transfers, exchange stored value, create self-payment schemes, or transact outside bona fide Flare Campaigns or Services. Payment activity exists solely to collect payment for Campaign Services and to satisfy Flare's own contractual and related obligations. Third-party financial providers perform payment processing and payouts through their systems.

Nothing in these Terms is a representation that a particular regulatory exemption, license, accounting classification, or tax treatment applies in every jurisdiction; those questions depend on applicable law and actual operations.

14. Non-circumvention

Businesses must purchase and pay Flare for Flare-Sourced Work through the Services and may not route a substantially similar engagement around Flare to avoid Flare's contracts, fees, administration, or payment systems. Creators may not solicit or accept direct payment from a Business for Flare-Sourced Work in circumvention of Flare. The restriction applies during use and for twelve (12) months after the last Flare-facilitated interaction between that Business and Creator, but does not restrict a documented pre-existing relationship disclosed promptly to Flare.

For each prohibited arrangement, the breaching user agrees to pay Flare liquidated damages of USD 2,500 or the fees Flare reasonably would have earned, whichever is greater, as a reasonable estimate of difficult-to-measure loss and not a penalty, without duplicative recovery. Flare may also suspend access and seek injunctive or other available relief.

15. Prohibited conduct and enforcement

You may not use the Services for unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, abusive, discriminatory, harassing, unsafe, infringing, sanctions-evasive, or security-compromising conduct; stolen payment methods; false invoices; money laundering; fabricated identities or businesses; unauthorized automation or scraping; malware; circumvention; artificial engagement; or transactions unrelated to bona fide Services.

Flare may monitor and investigate account, Campaign, Content, device, network, social, payment, and transaction records for support, quality, security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, and enforcement. You must reasonably cooperate. Flare may warn, require reverification, remove Content, reject transactions, pause work or payouts, apply holds, suspend or terminate accounts, prevent re-registration, offset amounts, and pursue legal or equitable remedies. Immediate action may be taken for fraud, payment abuse, illegal conduct, security risk, harassment, artificial engagement, or material circumvention.

16. Flare intellectual property and user content

Flare and its licensors own the Services, software, interfaces, workflows, databases, designs, trademarks, templates, analytics methods, and documentation. Subject to these Terms, Flare grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Services for authorized purposes.

You retain ownership of Content you lawfully own, subject to Campaign rights and a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license allowing Flare to host, store, reproduce, format, transmit, display, analyze, administer, secure, improve, and market the Services; administer Campaigns, rights, and payments; generate analytics; prevent fraud; and comply with law. Flare may use publicly released Campaign Content, public Creator profiles, and non-confidential results to demonstrate and market the Services, subject to an applicable written restriction. Contact us to opt out of promotional use of your profile or Campaign Content outside operation of the Services.

17. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Services and request account deletion subject to active Campaigns, accrued obligations, record retention, and subscription cancellation rules. A Business may cancel a Campaign or an individual Creator engagement at any time, with immediate effect or at a later time the Business specifies, without a minimum notice period. Flare may likewise suspend or terminate access or immediately halt a Campaign or Creator engagement where reasonably necessary to protect users, Campaign Funding, the Services, payment systems, legal compliance, or legitimate business interests.

When a cancellation or halt becomes effective, the Creator must stop new work and must not upload or publish additional Campaign Content unless Flare expressly reauthorizes it. Only Creator Compensation earned before that cutoff under Section 8.4 remains payable: for a content-only Campaign, required Deliverables uploaded before the cutoff; for a posting Campaign, required Deliverables actually published before the cutoff. No Creator Compensation accrues for future services, work in progress, drafts, unuploaded files, review submissions, approvals, scheduled posts, or publications made after the cutoff. Cancellation does not erase Creator Compensation already earned, and a Business remains liable to Flare for Campaign Services, Creator Compensation, fees, reversals, chargebacks, and losses incurred before or because of the cancellation.

18. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES, ANALYTICS, RECOMMENDATIONS, AUTOMATED OUTPUTS, AND RELATED FEATURES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." FLARE DISCLAIMS EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING. FLARE DOES NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, THIRD-PARTY AVAILABILITY, CAMPAIGN PERFORMANCE, CREATOR SELECTION, SOCIAL-PLATFORM APPROVAL, OR ANY COMMERCIAL RESULT.

19. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FLARE AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OPPORTUNITY, OR DATA; COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES; OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, SOCIAL-PLATFORM ACTIONS, USER CONDUCT, OR CAMPAIGN PERFORMANCE.

FLARE'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF USD 100 OR THE AMOUNTS THE CLAIMANT PAID TO FLARE AS FLARE FEES DURING THE SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT. This cap does not reduce Creator Compensation finally determined to be payable under Section 9 and does not apply where liability cannot lawfully be limited.

20. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Flare and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, payment partners, and licensors from claims, investigations, losses, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, costs, chargebacks, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from your Content, products, services, claims, Campaigns, instructions, targeting, materials, account activity, breach of these Terms, violation of law or third-party rights, fraud, artificial engagement, payment disputes caused by your conduct, or misuse of the Services, except to the extent caused by Flare's gross negligence or willful misconduct where that exception is prohibited.

21. Dispute resolution and arbitration

Before arbitration or litigation, the claimant must send a written notice to [email protected] identifying the claimant, account, dispute, relevant records, requested relief, and contact details. The parties will attempt good-faith resolution for at least sixty (60) days.

Except for eligible small-claims matters and requests for temporary or injunctive relief to protect intellectual property, confidential information, security, payment systems, or non-circumvention rights, disputes arising from the Services, these Terms, or a Campaign will be resolved by final, binding, individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable Consumer or Commercial Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs. Proceedings will ordinarily be remote; any required business hearing will occur in Delaware, and any individual hearing will occur as required by applicable AAA rules.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY INDIVIDUALLY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, OR REPRESENTATIVE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE-ATTORNEY-GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may award individualized relief but may not consolidate unrelated claims.

You may opt out of arbitration and the class-action waiver by sending written notice to [email protected] within thirty (30) days after first accepting these Terms. If a provision of this Section is unenforceable, it will be severed to the minimum extent necessary; if the class waiver is unenforceable for a claim, that claim proceeds in court.

22. Governing law

These Terms and disputes not governed by the Federal Arbitration Act are governed by Delaware law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to Section 21, the state and federal courts in Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction, and each party consents to venue and personal jurisdiction there, except where non-waivable law requires another forum.

23. Copyright complaints

Send copyright notices to [email protected] or the address in Section 27. A notice should identify the copyrighted work, allegedly infringing material and location, contact information, a good-faith statement that the use is unauthorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and the sender is authorized, and a physical or electronic signature. Flare may remove material and terminate repeat infringers where appropriate.

24. Electronic communications

You consent to receive agreements, disclosures, notices, invoices, statements, security messages, Campaign communications, and other records by email, in-app message, push notification, SMS, or other electronic means. Electronic records and acceptance controls have the same effect as physical writings and signatures to the fullest extent permitted by law. You are responsible for maintaining current contact information.

25. Assignment, severability, and waiver

You may not assign these Terms or an account without Flare's written consent. Flare may assign them in connection with a financing, reorganization, merger, sale of assets, corporate transaction, affiliate transfer, or successor. If a provision is invalid, it will be enforced to the maximum permitted extent and the remainder remains effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

26. Entire agreement and survival

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, Campaign records, Briefs, accepted pricing, and applicable signed orders or statements of work are the entire agreement concerning the Services and supersede prior terms on that subject from the Effective Date. A signed order or statement of work controls an express conflict solely for its subject matter. Payment, content rights, confidentiality, investigations, non-circumvention, indemnification, disclaimers, limitations, dispute resolution, and provisions that by nature should survive will survive termination.
