Publisher Terms

1. Your agreement

These terms form an agreement between ReelBounty and the organisation identified in the publisher account. The person accepting them confirms they have authority to bind that organisation. The Acceptable Use Policy, Payouts & Refunds Policy and each funded bounty form part of the agreement.

2. Organisation account

Keep organisation, website, billing and tax information accurate. Account owners are responsible for invited members, permissions and activity carried out through their accounts. Tell us promptly about unauthorised access or changes to legal/billing details.

3. Campaign briefs

• Describe the product, objective, dates, allowed platforms, eligibility, deliverables and reward formula accurately.
• Clearly identify required disclosures, talking points, prohibited claims, content usage rights and any minimum live period.
• Do not ask creators to make misleading, unsubstantiated, unsafe or unlawful claims, conceal advertising, manipulate engagement or violate platform rules.
• Own or have permission to supply all logos, examples, product material and other campaign assets.

A campaign is not live until its required gross budget is successfully paid and the platform records confirmed funding.

4. Funding and the 20% platform fee

The checkout amount is the gross campaign funding. Under the launch pricing model, 80% becomes the creator reward pool and 20% is ReelBounty’s platform fee. For example, a £1,000 gross payment creates an £800 creator pool and a £200 platform fee. Amounts and tax treatment shown at checkout govern if they differ.

ReelBounty reserves creator liabilities against the available pool and will not intentionally confirm rewards beyond funded availability. Pausing a campaign stops new activity where technically supported but does not cancel rewards already earned or committed.

5. Fair review of creators

Review applications and submissions promptly, consistently and against the published brief. Rejection notes must be accurate and not discriminatory. Approval starts or continues reward verification; it is not permission to privately renegotiate the published formula. ReelBounty may override, pause or investigate decisions needed to protect creators, publishers or the marketplace.

6. Creator content and rights

Creators remain responsible for their content and retain ownership unless a valid separate agreement says otherwise. You receive only the review, verification and reporting permissions described in the Creator Terms plus any additional licence clearly included in the brief and accepted before creation. Do not download, edit, repost, use in paid media or exploit a creator’s likeness beyond those permissions.

7. Personal information

Use creator and campaign data only to assess, administer and measure the relevant campaign, protect it appropriately, and comply with data-protection and direct-marketing law. Do not scrape profiles, build unrelated marketing lists or sell creator data. Where you independently determine why and how personal information is used, you are responsible as a controller for that use.

8. Refunds, disputes and chargebacks

Refund eligibility and allocation are set out in the Payouts & Refunds Policy. Do not initiate a card dispute instead of contacting support about a resolvable campaign issue. A refund, dispute or failed payment may pause the campaign and place related earnings or payouts on hold while liabilities are reconciled.

9. Your legal responsibilities

You are responsible for your product, landing pages, claims, promotions, targeting and required sector approvals. You must comply with advertising, consumer, competition, intellectual-property, sanctions and data-protection law. Creators control how they perform their independent services; do not direct them in a way that unlawfully creates employment or worker status.

10. Suspension and termination

You may pause or end a campaign using available controls, but outstanding commitments survive. We may suspend an organisation or campaign to address risk, non-payment, abuse, legal requests or material breach. Account closure does not erase financial, campaign, tax, fraud, audit or dispute records that must lawfully be retained.

11. Availability, liability and law

We do not guarantee a number of applications, videos, views, conversions or commercial results. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss. Any final liability cap, service-credit regime and business-to-business tax wording requires approval before live contracting. Nothing excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded. English law governs and the English courts have jurisdiction.
