Creator Agreement

1. Nature of the relationship

You are engaged by Inflink as an independent contractor to provide content creation and related services on a non-exclusive, per-booking basis. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment relationship, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship (in the legal sense) between you and Inflink.

You are free to provide services to other parties outside Inflink, subject to the non-circumvention provisions in Section 9.

2. Engagement mechanism

Each booking arranged through the Inflink platform constitutes a separate Work Order. A Work Order is formed when:

• Inflink offers you a specific booking (brief, deliverables, timeline, compensation), and
• you accept the offer through the platform.

You are not obligated to accept any particular Work Order. Declining a booking does not affect your standing on the platform, though consistent unavailability may affect the frequency of offers.

3. Creator rates and compensation

• You set your base rates for different content types (e.g., Reel, Post, Story, bundles) within your Inflink profile.
• Inflink quotes its own prices to brands, which may include a margin above your base rate to cover Inflink's services.
• You are compensated at your agreed rate for the specific Work Order, as shown and confirmed before acceptance.
• All fees are inclusive of any applicable taxes you are responsible for.
• Compensation is paid by Inflink as a commercial obligation under this Agreement, not as a pass-through of funds from brands.

4. Payment terms

• Inflink runs a weekly payout cycle.
• Payment for completed Work Orders is made within seven (7) days of content going live and receiving brand approval (or being deemed approved per the Campaign Booking Terms).
• Payments are made by bank transfer to the UAE account you have nominated in your Inflink profile.
• You are responsible for ensuring your payout details are accurate and current.

5. Deliverable standards

For each Work Order you accept, you agree to:

• Deliver the specified content on or before the agreed date.
• Follow the brief provided, including creative direction, messaging, hashtags, tags, and usage of any brand-supplied assets.
• Include all required advertising disclosures (e.g., #ad, “Paid partnership with [Brand]”) in accordance with applicable UAE advertising regulations.
• Maintain a professional standard consistent with the sample content in your profile.
• Not modify, delete, or take down delivered content during the agreed usage period without Inflink's consent.

6. Intellectual property and content rights

• You retain ownership of the content you create.
• You grant Inflink a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, sub-licence, and distribute the content delivered under a Work Order.
• Inflink will sub-licence the content to the booking brand on terms no broader than those agreed in the Work Order (including usage duration, territory, and media type).
• Inflink may use delivered content for its own promotional and case-study purposes with attribution to you.

7. Your warranties

You represent and warrant that:

• Content you deliver is original and created by you, and does not infringe any third party's rights (including copyright, trademark, privacy, or publicity rights).
• You have the full right and authority to grant the licences set out in this Agreement.
• Your audience is genuine and has been built through legitimate means (no bot-driven growth, bought followers, or artificially inflated engagement).
• You are not subject to any exclusive agency agreement or contractual restriction that would prevent you from accepting Work Orders from Inflink.
• You comply with all applicable UAE laws, including advertising, tax, and content regulations.

8. Performance, cancellations, and kill fees

• Non-delivery: if you fail to deliver content as agreed, no compensation is due for that Work Order, and repeated non-delivery may result in removal from the Inflink roster.
• Late delivery: at Inflink's discretion, late delivery may result in a partial payment reduction reflecting the impact on the brand campaign.
• Brand cancellation before creator acceptance: no compensation due; no impact on you.
• Brand cancellation after creator acceptance but before content creation: 25% kill fee payable to you.
• Brand cancellation after content creation: 100% of agreed compensation payable to you.
• Revisions: reasonable revisions requested by the brand (up to two rounds) are included in the agreed compensation.

9. Non-circumvention

For the term of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months following its termination, you agree not to directly or indirectly solicit, accept work from, or enter into an agreement with any brand you first engaged with through an Inflink Work Order, outside of the Inflink platform.

This does not prevent you from working with brands you had a pre-existing relationship with before Inflink, or brands you independently met outside any Inflink introduction.

10. Confidentiality

You agree to keep confidential:

• Campaign briefs, brand strategies, and marketing plans shared with you.
• Inflink's pricing, commercial terms, and internal processes.
• Any non-public information about Inflink, Following FZC, or brand partners.

This obligation continues for three (3) years after termination of this Agreement.

11. Tax and compliance

You are solely responsible for:

• Filing and paying any taxes (including VAT where applicable) arising from compensation received under this Agreement.
• Maintaining any licences, permits, or registrations required for your activity.
• Compliance with UAE advertising, consumer-protection, and content laws.

Inflink is not your employer and will not withhold taxes or make social-security contributions on your behalf.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Inflink, Following FZC, and their affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of:

• your breach of this Agreement;
• any claim that your content infringes a third party's rights;
• any misrepresentation in your warranties;
• your non-compliance with applicable law.

13. Termination

• Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving thirty (30) days' written notice, or immediately by deletion of your account through the platform.
• Inflink may terminate immediately in the event of material breach, fraud, misrepresentation, or conduct damaging to Inflink's reputation or business.
• Upon termination, active Work Orders will be honoured to completion unless both parties agree otherwise.
• Upon deletion of your account, Inflink will delete personal data as described in our Privacy Policy, while retaining anonymised records required for legal, tax, and audit purposes.
• Sections 6 (IP), 9 (Non-circumvention), 10 (Confidentiality), 12 (Indemnity), and 15 (Governing Law) survive termination.

14. Amendments

Inflink may amend this Agreement from time to time. Material changes will be notified via the platform or by email. Continued use of the platform after an amendment takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Sharjah, UAE, being the emirate in which Following FZC is registered.

16. General provisions

• Entire agreement: this Agreement, together with the Platform Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, sets out the full understanding between you and Inflink regarding your role as a creator.
• Severability: if any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect.
• No waiver: failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
• Assignment: you may not assign this Agreement without our consent. We may assign this Agreement to any affiliate or successor entity.
• Notices: written notices may be delivered via the platform, by email, or to the address you have registered.
