2. Eligibility and Registration

2.1 Eligibility

To register as a Creator, you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement, and not be located in any country subject to United States sanctions or embargoes.

2.2 Accurate Information

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your Creator Profile updated. You represent and warrant that you are the owner or authorized operator of all social media accounts linked to your Creator Profile. Providing false, misleading, or fraudulent information is grounds for immediate removal from the Marketplace.

2.3 Account Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized access to or use of your account.

3. Creator Profile and Marketplace Participation

3.1 Profile Visibility

By registering, you consent to your Creator Profile being visible to all Subscribers on the Riovis platform. Your profile includes your display name, bio, social media handles, niches, location (country), and publicly available metrics (follower counts, engagement rates). Your email address is never exposed to Subscribers and is used only for account management and direct communications from the Company.

3.2 AI-Powered Discovery

You acknowledge and consent to the Sivoir Influencer Engine analyzing your Creator Profile and publicly available data from your linked social media accounts to generate scores, audience insights, and brand-fit assessments. These AI-generated assessments are recommendations only and do not constitute guarantees of performance, audience quality, engagement rates, or campaign outcomes. The Company makes no representations regarding the accuracy of AI-generated scores or assessments.

3.3 No Guarantee of Opportunities

Registration on the Marketplace does not guarantee that any Subscriber will discover, contact, or offer you any campaign, contract, or collaboration opportunity. The Company does not endorse, recommend, or guarantee any specific Creator to any Subscriber, nor any Subscriber to any Creator.

3.4 Profile Removal

You may request removal of your Creator Profile at any time by submitting a deletion request through the Platform. See Section 10 (Data Rights and Deletion) for details on the deletion process and timeline.

4. Creator Content Ownership and Licensing

4.1 Ownership

You retain all right, title, and interest in and to your Creator Content, including all intellectual property rights therein. Nothing in this agreement transfers ownership of your Creator Content to the Company or any Subscriber.

4.2 Limited License to Company

By creating a Creator Profile, you grant the Company a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and reproduce your Creator Profile information (display name, bio, avatar, publicly available metrics) solely for the purpose of operating the Marketplace, including displaying your profile to Subscribers and enabling AI-powered discovery features. This license terminates upon deletion of your Creator Profile, subject to reasonable technical processing time.

4.3 No License to Subscribers

This agreement does not grant any Subscriber a license to use your Creator Content, name, likeness, or intellectual property. Any such license must be established through a separate Contract between you and the Subscriber. The Company is not a party to such Contracts and bears no responsibility for their terms or enforcement.

4.4 Content Responsibility

You are solely responsible for all Creator Content you create, upload, or reference through the Platform. You represent and warrant that your Creator Content does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third party’s intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or any applicable law.

5. Contracts and Payments Between Creators and Subscribers

5.1 Platform as Facilitator

The Platform facilitates contract management between Creators and Subscribers. The Company is not a party to any Contract between a Creator and a Subscriber. The Company does not negotiate, guarantee, enforce, mediate, or arbitrate the terms of any Contract. All contractual obligations, including payment terms, deliverables, timelines, and dispute resolution, are solely between the Creator and the Subscriber.

5.2 Payment Processing

The Company does not process, hold, escrow, or guarantee any payments between Creators and Subscribers. All payment arrangements are directly between the parties. The Company bears no liability for late payments, non-payment, disputed payments, or any financial loss arising from contractual relationships between Creators and Subscribers.

5.3 Tax Obligations

You are solely responsible for all tax obligations arising from income earned through campaigns or partnerships facilitated by the Platform, including but not limited to income tax reporting, self-employment tax, VAT/GST, and compliance with 1099 reporting requirements (for US-based Creators). The Company does not provide tax advice and is not responsible for your tax compliance.

5.4 Contract Review

YOU ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED ATTORNEY BEFORE ACCEPTING ANY CONTRACT OFFERED THROUGH THE PLATFORM. The Company does not review, approve, or validate the legal sufficiency of Contracts created by Subscribers. Contracts may contain terms, obligations, or restrictions that significantly affect your rights.

6. FTC and Regulatory Compliance

You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations governing sponsored content, endorsements, and advertising, including but not limited to:

  • FTC Endorsement Guides - You must clearly and conspicuously disclose material connections with Subscribers (e.g., #ad, #sponsored, #partner) in all sponsored content, in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255).
  • Platform-Specific Policies - You must comply with the advertising and disclosure policies of each social media platform on which you publish sponsored content (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, X, etc.).
  • Truth in Advertising - All claims, reviews, and endorsements you make about a Subscriber's products or services must be truthful, not misleading, and based on your genuine experience and opinion.
  • International Regulations - If you operate or publish content in jurisdictions outside the United States, you are responsible for compliance with local advertising and consumer protection laws, including but not limited to the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, and Canadian Competition Act.

The Company does not monitor, review, or enforce your compliance with any of the above obligations. Failure to comply may result in removal from the Marketplace in addition to any liability you may incur under applicable law.

7. Prohibited Conduct

As a Creator, you agree not to:

  • Provide false, misleading, or fabricated information in your Creator Profile, including inflated follower counts, fake engagement metrics, or misrepresented audience demographics.
  • Use bots, click farms, purchased followers, or any artificial means to inflate metrics displayed on the Marketplace.
  • Impersonate another person or entity, or falsely claim an affiliation with any person, organization, or brand.
  • Upload, post, or reference content that is defamatory, obscene, harassing, threatening, hateful, discriminatory, or that promotes violence or illegal activity.
  • Circumvent the Platform or its payment rails. Any Subscriber you discover through the Marketplace, or who discovers you through the Marketplace, must be engaged and paid through the Platform for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the first Platform-facilitated contact. You may not solicit payment on external platforms (including, without limitation, Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Zelle, Wise, Revolut, ACH/bank transfers, or cash), and you may not share contact information with the intent of moving the relationship off the Platform. This restriction exists to protect Marketplace integrity, payment traceability, and Creator audit rights.
  • Use the Marketplace to collect Subscriber information for purposes unrelated to legitimate collaboration opportunities.
  • Violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right through your use of the Marketplace.

Violation of this Section may result in immediate suspension or permanent removal from the Marketplace, without prior notice or liability to you.

8. Disclaimers of Warranty

THE MARKETPLACE AND ALL RELATED SERVICES, INCLUDING THE RIOVISION INFLUENCER ENGINE, AI-GENERATED SCORES, BRAND-FIT ASSESSMENTS, AUDIENCE ANALYTICS, AND DISCOVERY FEATURES, ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
