We may allow you to create or log in to your account using third-party credentials (e.g., Google, Apple).

You remain responsible for compliance with the terms of service of any such third-party platform.
3.6 Account Managers and Agents
Creators may authorize agents or management companies to assist with operating their Creator Account. Notwithstanding any such delegation, the Creator remains personally responsible for all activity conducted through their Creator Account, all Content posted, and all obligations under these Terms.

SECTION 4 โ DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATFORM
4.1 What Followd Is
Followd is a creator commerce platform that enables Creators to build direct monetization relationships with their Fans. The Platform facilitates, among other things: subscription-based memberships, one-time content purchases, tipping, Custom Requests, Physical Goods sales, and Livestreaming. Followd provides the technology infrastructure and payment processing facilitation but is not a party to transactions between Creators and Fans except as expressly stated herein.
4.2 Platform as Venue
Followd acts as a marketplace and technology venue, not as an employer, agent, partner, or joint venturer of any Creator. We do not pre-screen Creator Content (except to the limited extent described in Section 11), do not guarantee the quality or delivery of any Creator's content, products, or services, and are not responsible for any disputes between Creators and Fans. The relationship between a Creator and Fan is direct and independent.
4.3 Platform Modifications
We are constantly improving the Platform. Followd reserves the right, at any time and in its sole discretion, to add, modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature, functionality, or aspect of the Platform, with or without notice.

5.3 Creator Content Ownership and License to Followd
You retain ownership of all Intellectual Property Rights in your Creator Content. However, by publishing Creator Content on the Platform, you grant Followd a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, display, reproduce, distribute, adapt, and make available your Creator Content solely for the purpose of: (a) operating and providing the Platform; (b) displaying Creator Content to authorized Fans; (c) promoting Followd and the Platform in marketing materials (including social media, advertisements, and press), subject to the limitations in Section 5.4; and (d) complying with applicable legal obligations.
This license terminates when you permanently delete Creator Content from the Platform or close your Creator Account, except: (i) to the extent necessary to fulfill outstanding Fan obligations; (ii) to the extent copies have already been made by authorized Fans; (iii) with respect to aggregated, anonymized usage data; and (iv) as required by law.
5.4 Marketing Use Limitation
Followd will not use your name, likeness, or Creator Content in paid advertising campaigns without your prior written consent. We may, however, display your Creator profile, username, and publicly available Creator Content in organic promotional contexts (e.g., "featured creators" sections, social media posts highlighting the platform) without separate consent, as this is inherent to the nature of a public creator marketplace.
5.5 Content Responsibility
Creators are solely responsible for all Creator Content they publish. Followd does not endorse, verify, or guarantee the accuracy, quality, or legality of any Creator Content. Creators agree to promptly remove any Content upon Followd's request where Followd determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such Content violates these Terms, applicable law, or third-party rights.
5.6 FTC Disclosure Requirements
Creators who receive free products, compensation, or other consideration from third parties in connection with Creator Content must include clear and conspicuous disclosures in accordance with the FTC's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 C.F.R. Part 255) and the FTC's guidance for social media influencers. Followd reserves the right to require modification or removal of non-compliant Content and to suspend payouts pending compliance.
5.7 AI-Generated Content
Creators may publish AI-assisted or AI-generated Content subject to the following requirements: (a) any Content that is substantially generated by artificial intelligence must be clearly labeled as "AI-Generated" or "Created with AI" in a manner visible to Fans before purchase; (b) AI-generated Content depicting real, identifiable individuals requires those individuals' written consent; (c) AI-generated Content that depicts fictional minors in any sexual or inappropriate context is absolutely prohibited; and (d) Creators may not use AI tools that were trained on third-party data in violation of those parties' rights.
SECTION 6 โ FAN AND BUYER TERMS

Fans may browse public areas of the Platform without registering. To subscribe, purchase Content, send Tips, submit Custom Requests, or access gated content, Fans must create a registered account and provide valid payment information.

6.3 Prohibition on Content Leaking
Fans are strictly prohibited from distributing, posting, transmitting, publishing, or otherwise making available any gated or subscription-only Creator Content outside the Platform ("Leaking"). This prohibition applies regardless of whether the Leaked Content is distributed for free or for compensation. In addition to any other remedy available to Followd or the applicable Creator, if a Fan Leaks Creator Content, Followd may impose a liquidated damages fee of $150 per individual piece of Leaked Content per platform or medium on which the Leaked Content is found, recoverable against the Fan's payment method on file. The parties agree these amounts represent a reasonable pre-estimate of harm and not a penalty.
6.4 Personal and Non-Commercial Use Only
Access to Creator Content through the Platform grants Fans a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to view and experience the Content. No Fan may use Creator Content for commercial purposes, create derivative works, or otherwise exploit Creator Content beyond personal viewing without the Creator's express, separate written license.
6.5 Fan Responsibilities for Custom Requests
When submitting a Custom Request, Fans must: (a) provide accurate, complete, and lawful instructions; (b) not request Content that violates Section 11 (Content Standards); (c) understand that Custom Requests are generally non-refundable once the Creator has begun fulfillment; and (d) accept that Creators retain final discretion over whether to accept or decline any Custom Request.
SECTION 7 โ PAYMENTS, FEES, SUBSCRIPTIONS, AND PAYOUTS
7.1 Payment Processing
All payments on the Platform are processed through Followd's third-party payment processors ("Payment Processors"). By submitting payment information, you authorize Followd and its Payment Processors to charge your designated payment method for all amounts due. Followd does not store full payment card data on its own systems; such data is handled by the Payment Processor under their applicable security standards (e.g., PCI-DSS). Your use of payment processing features is also subject to the Payment Processor's terms of service.
7.2 Platform Fee
Followd charges a Platform Fee on Creator earnings as disclosed in the Creator's account dashboard. The current Platform Fee schedule is incorporated into these Terms by reference and may be updated upon 30 days' advance notice to Creators. Followd deducts the Platform Fee from Gross Revenue before remitting Net Revenue to the Creator. For the avoidance of doubt, the Platform Fee is Followd's fee for use of the Platform infrastructure and is not refundable.
7.3 Subscriptions โ Recurring Billing
Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or at such other intervals as offered by the Creator). By purchasing a Subscription, you authorize Followd to automatically charge your payment method at the beginning of each billing period until you cancel. Subscription prices may change with 30 days' notice to active subscribers. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period; you will retain access until that date. No partial refunds are provided for unused subscription periods, except as required by applicable law.
7.4 One-Time Purchases and Tips
One-time purchases (including individual content purchases, Custom Requests, and Physical Goods) and Tips are non-refundable, except: (a) as required by applicable law; (b) where Followd determines a Creator has materially failed to deliver a paid deliverable; or (c) in the event of verified fraud. All amounts are quoted in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
7.5 Creator Payouts
Followd will remit Net Revenue to Creators on a [bi-weekly / monthly] basis, subject to: (a) the Creator's payout account being in good standing; (b) the Creator having met any applicable minimum payout threshold (as disclosed in the Creator dashboard); and (c) the Creator having provided complete and accurate tax information as required by Section 7.7. Followd reserves the right to delay or withhold payouts in the circumstances described in Section 7.6.
7.6 Payout Withholding
Followd may withhold all or part of a Creator's pending payout if: (a) Followd has reason to believe the Creator has violated these Terms; (b) Followd reasonably suspects fraud, money laundering, or other unlawful activity; (c) a Fan dispute, chargeback, or payment reversal is pending with respect to the relevant funds; (d) outstanding Creator Content raises potential third-party intellectual property claims; or (e) Followd is required to do so by law, court order, or regulatory direction. Followd will notify the Creator of any withholding and the reason, where legally permissible. Withheld funds may be forfeited if the underlying violation is confirmed.
7.7 Chargebacks
In the event a Fan initiates a chargeback or payment reversal with their financial institution, Followd may deduct the corresponding amount (plus any chargeback fees imposed by the Payment Processor) from the Creator's pending or future payouts, to the extent the chargeback is upheld. Followd will provide Creators with reasonable notice and an opportunity to submit evidence disputing the chargeback. Followd's decision in connection with chargeback handling is final in the absence of manifest error.
7.8 Taxes
Creators are solely responsible for all taxes arising from their use of the Platform and receipt of earnings, including income taxes, self-employment taxes, and any VAT, GST, or similar taxes in applicable jurisdictions. Followd will issue IRS Form 1099-K or other required tax forms to qualifying Creators in accordance with applicable law. Creators must provide accurate taxpayer identification information (Form W-9 for U.S. persons, Form W-8BEN for non-U.S. persons, or equivalent). Followd reserves the right to withhold amounts from payouts as required by applicable tax law, including backup withholding.
7.9 No Off-Platform Payments
Creators and Fans may not use the Platform to solicit or arrange payments outside of Followd's payment infrastructure for any transaction that originates on the Platform. Directing Fans to external payment apps (e.g., Venmo, CashApp, PayPal, Zelle, cryptocurrency wallets) for Platform-originated transactions is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate account suspension.
7.10 Pricing and Currency
All transactions on the Platform are denominated in U.S. dollars. Fans located outside the United States may be subject to currency conversion fees charged by their financial institution. Followd is not responsible for currency exchange rates or related fees.
SECTION 8 โ PHYSICAL GOODS AND MERCHANDISE
8.1 Creator Responsibility for Physical Goods
Creators who sell Physical Goods through the Platform are solely responsible for: (a) the accuracy of all product listings, including descriptions, images, dimensions, materials, and pricing; (b) inventory management; (c) lawful fulfillment and timely shipment; (d) compliance with all applicable consumer product safety laws and regulations; (e) any warranties, representations, or guarantees made regarding the Physical Goods; and (f) handling returns, exchanges, and customer service related to Physical Goods, subject to any minimum standards Followd may establish.
8.2 Prohibited Physical Goods
Creators may not list, sell, or facilitate the sale of Physical Goods that: (a) are illegal or regulated without appropriate licenses (including controlled substances, firearms, or prescription items); (b) are counterfeit or infringe third-party Intellectual Property Rights; (c) have been recalled by any government authority or manufacturer for safety reasons; (d) contain hazardous materials requiring special handling or shipping restrictions; (e) include animal products derived from endangered species; or (f) are otherwise prohibited by Followd in its sole discretion.
8.3 Shipping and Fulfillment
Creators must ship Physical Goods within the timeframe stated in the product listing, and in no event later than 14 days after receiving payment (unless a longer pre-order period is clearly disclosed at point of sale). Creators must provide valid tracking information to Followd upon shipment. Followd may suspend a Creator's ability to sell Physical Goods in the event of repeated fulfillment failures.
8.4 Followd as Venue Only
Followd is a venue for Physical Goods transactions and is not a seller, manufacturer, distributor, or warrantor of any Physical Goods. Followd is not responsible for product defects, shipping delays, or any harm arising from Physical Goods purchased through the Platform, except to the extent Followd is the identified seller at point of sale.
SECTION 9 โ LIVESTREAMING
9.1 Livestream Standards
Creators who conduct Livestreams through the Platform must comply with all Content standards set forth in Section 11 in real time. By their nature, Livestreams may not be pre-reviewed by Followd. Creators bear full responsibility for the content of all Livestreams, including any third-party participants or guests who appear.
9.2 Recording and Replay
Unless a Creator expressly disables recording at the time of the Livestream, Followd may store Livestream recordings and make them available for replay to subscribed Fans. Creators may control availability of recordings through their account settings. Followd's license to Livestream recordings is the same as described in Section 5.3.
9.3 Livestream Disruptions
Followd does not guarantee uninterrupted Livestream service. We may terminate any Livestream at any time if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the Livestream violates these Terms or applicable law. Followd is not responsible for any loss of revenue or reputation arising from technical failures or forced terminations of Livestreams.
9.4 Third-Party Rights in Livestreams
Creators are solely responsible for ensuring that all music, third-party content, and other materials included in a Livestream are properly licensed. Followd reserves the right to mute or terminate Livestreams that trigger third-party copyright claims, including those processed through automated content recognition systems.
SECTION 10 โ CUSTOM REQUESTS
10.1 Custom Request Mechanics
Creators may offer to fulfill Custom Requests (e.g., personalized video messages, shout-outs, voice recordings, illustrations, written pieces, or similar personalized deliverables) at prices and turnaround times set by the Creator. When a Fan submits and pays for a Custom Request, the Creator has sole discretion whether to accept or decline. Payment is collected at the time of submission and held in escrow pending delivery.
10.2 Delivery
Once a Creator accepts a Custom Request, the Creator must fulfill and deliver the requested item within the timeframe stated at acceptance, or such default timeframe as Followd may establish. If a Creator fails to deliver within the stated timeframe, Followd may, in its discretion, issue a refund to the Fan and debit the amount from the Creator's pending payouts.
10.3 Content of Custom Requests
Custom Requests are subject to all Content Standards in Section 11. Creators must decline any Custom Request that would require them to produce Prohibited Content. Fans who submit Custom Request specifications for Prohibited Content will be in material breach of these Terms, and Followd may terminate their account.
10.4 No Solicitation of Off-Platform Services
Custom Requests may not be used to arrange in-person meetings, sexual services, escort services, or any activity that constitutes an offer or solicitation of physical services or contact. Any such use is a material breach of these Terms and will result in immediate account termination.
SECTION 11 โ CONTENT STANDARDS AND ACCEPTABLE USE
11.1 General Principle
All User Content must comply with these Terms and all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Users are solely responsible for the Content they post. Followd reserves the right, but not the obligation, to monitor, review, remove, or restrict access to any User Content at any time and for any reason in its sole discretion.
11.2 Prohibited Content
The following categories of Content are absolutely prohibited on the Platform under all circumstances ("Prohibited Content"):

11.3 Adult Content Policy โ SFW Platform
Followd operates as a Safe For Work ("SFW") platform. Sexually explicit content, nudity, and pornographic material are not permitted on the Platform in any form, regardless of whether it is gated, subscription-only, or otherwise restricted. This includes but is not limited to:
Explicit sexual acts, whether photographic, videographic, illustrated, or AI-generated;
Full frontal nudity displayed in a sexual context;
Erotic or sexually suggestive Content intended primarily to arouse; and
Any content that would qualify as "adult content" under OnlyFans, Fanfix adult tier, or similar platforms' definitions.
Creators seeking to publish adult content should consider platforms designed for that purpose. Followd reserves the right to remove any Content that, in its reasonable judgment, approaches or crosses the SFW threshold, even if not explicitly sexual.
11.4 Mature Non-Sexual Content
Mature, non-explicit Content (e.g., strong language, moderate violence in artistic contexts, dark themes) may be permitted at Followd's discretion where the Creator's page is properly labeled as "Mature" or "18+" in their profile settings.

SECTION 17 โ LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IMPORTANT: THIS SECTION SIGNIFICANTLY LIMITS FOLLOWD'S POTENTIAL LIABILITY TO YOU.
17.1 Exclusion of Consequential Damages
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FOLLOWD AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SUCCESSORS (COLLECTIVELY, "FOLLOWD PARTIES") SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR: LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE; LOSS OF SUBSCRIBERS OR FANS; LOSS OF DATA OR CONTENT; LOSS OF BUSINESS OR GOODWILL; BUSINESS INTERRUPTION; PERSONAL INJURY; EMOTIONAL DISTRESS; OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES โ EVEN IF FOLLOWD HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND WHETHER ARISING UNDER CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE FOLLOWD PARTIES' AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO ANY USER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY SUCH USER TO FOLLOWD DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
17.3 Essential Basis
The parties acknowledge that the limitations of liability in this Section 17 reflect a reasonable allocation of risk and are an essential element of the basis of the bargain between Followd and Users. The Platform would not be offered on the terms set forth herein without these limitations.
17.4 Statute of Limitations
Any cause of action or claim you may have arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Claims not brought within this period are permanently barred.
17.5 Jurisdictional Exceptions
Certain jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. In such jurisdictions, Followd's liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
SECTION 18 โ INDEMNIFICATION
18.1 User Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Followd Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) ("Losses") arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of or inability to use the Platform; (b) your User Content or Creator Content; (c) your breach of these Terms or any representation, warranty, or covenant made herein; (d) your violation of any third-party right, including any Intellectual Property Right, right of publicity, or privacy right; (e) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; (f) your physical goods listings or fulfillment failures; or (g) any transaction between you and any other User.

For each such violation, you agree to pay liquidated damages of $1,000 per incident (for (a) and (b)) or the amounts specified in Section 6.3 (for Content Leaking), which the parties agree represent a reasonable estimate of harm and not a penalty. Followd may charge these amounts against any payment method on file.
18.4 California Section 1542 Waiver
IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE BENEFITS OF SECTION 1542 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, WHICH PROVIDES: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY."
SECTION 19 โ DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND BINDING ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES WITH FOLLOWD THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL AND CLASS ACTIONS.
19.1 Governing Law
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or your use of the Platform shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that would require the application of a different jurisdiction's laws.
19.2 Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Good-Faith Resolution
Before initiating any arbitration or litigation, the party seeking relief must first send a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") to the other party. A Notice from you to Followd must be emailed to legal@followd.com. Any Notice must include: (a) the claimant's full legal name and email address associated with their Followd account; (b) a clear description of the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; (c) the specific relief sought, including any monetary amount; and (d) a personal signature of the claimant. A Notice must be individualized โ it may only address the claimant's own dispute.
Upon receipt of a completed Notice, the parties agree to engage in good-faith negotiations for a period of 60 days to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. Compliance with this pre-arbitration requirement is a condition precedent to filing any arbitration demand. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days, either party may initiate arbitration as described below.
19.3 Binding Arbitration
Except as provided in Section 19.6 (Exceptions), all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Platform, or any transaction between you and Followd โ including disputes about the validity, enforceability, scope, or interpretation of this arbitration agreement โ shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules (or Consumer Arbitration Rules, if applicable), rather than in court.
Arbitration shall be conducted: (a) in the State of Delaware, or at such other location as mutually agreed; (b) in English; and (c) before a single arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any individual relief available at law or in equity, but may not award punitive damages except where authorized by statute.
19.4 Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver
BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU AND FOLLOWD EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO: (A) A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO THE PLATFORM OR THESE TERMS; AND (B) PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS WITHOUT BOTH PARTIES' WRITTEN CONSENT.
19.5 Mass Arbitration Procedures
If 25 or more substantially similar arbitration demands are filed against Followd by or with the coordination of the same legal counsel or organization ("Mass Arbitration"), AAA's Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules shall apply, and demands shall be administered in batches. This provision does not authorize class or mass arbitration on behalf of similarly situated claimants; each demand shall remain individual. If a court determines this batching provision is unenforceable and that the dispute must proceed on a mass or class basis, the entire arbitration agreement in this Section 19 shall be deemed null and void with respect to those claims, and such claims shall be litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction in Delaware, subject to Section 19.7.
19.6 Exceptions โ Claims Not Subject to Arbitration
The following claims are not subject to mandatory arbitration and may be brought in court: (a) claims to enforce, protect, or determine the validity of either party's Intellectual Property Rights; (b) claims for injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent unauthorized use of the Platform, user impersonation, or Content violations; (c) small claims court actions where the claim qualifies under applicable small claims court rules; and (d) claims by Followd for collection of amounts owed under these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree to honor the class action waiver set forth in Section 19.4 in any court proceeding.
19.7 Venue for Non-Arbitrable Claims
For any claim not subject to arbitration under Section 19.6, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware and waive any objection to personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum in such courts.
19.8 Arbitration Opt-Out
You may opt out of the arbitration agreement in this Section 19 by sending written notice of your opt-out to legal@followd.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your opt-out notice must include your name, email address associated with your Followd account, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other provision of these Terms.
19.9 Costs
For consumer-facing disputes, AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules will govern filing fees and cost-sharing. For all other disputes, each party shall bear its own legal fees and costs, except that the arbitrator may award fees to the prevailing party where authorized by applicable law.
SECTION 20 โ TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION
20.1 Termination by You
You may terminate your account at any time by following the account deletion process in your account settings or by contacting support@followd.com.
