Creator Terms of Use and License Agreement

Last Updated: January 17, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Slacker, an AI-powered marketplace connecting creators and brands. By creating an account, uploading content, or using the Slacker platform ("Platform"), you ("Creator," "you") agree to these Creator Terms of Use and License Agreement ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.

Your use of the Platform is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms.

Google Data Policy: If you connect a Google account, our use of Google user data is governed by the Google API Services User Data Policy and the Limited-Use requirements.

2. Definitions

  • Platform refers to Slacker's website, services, and applications
  • Creator or User refers to you, the individual using our platform
  • Creator Content refers to all content you create and upload, including videos, images, audio, and text
  • License Term refers to the one (1) year period during which brands may promote your content

3. Ownership of Your Content

You retain full ownership of all the content you create and upload to the Platform ("Creator Content"). Slacker does not claim ownership of your original creative work.

4. Limited Display and Promotion License

You grant Slacker and its brand partners a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to promote and display your content for advertising and marketing purposes as part of Slacker campaigns. Brand use of the Creator Content is limited to the platform where the Creator posted Creator Content. This includes the ability to:

  • Boost or promote your content on original platforms (for example, Meta's paid partnership or Spark Ads)
  • Embed or share your content on brand websites or emails
  • Reference your content in campaign analytics and reports

This license lasts for one (1) year from your approval date ("License Term") and ends automatically unless renewed through Slacker. After it expires, brands must stop promoting your content but can keep copies for reports or archives.

Brands cannot download, modify, or own your content — it stays yours and lives on your social channels.

5. Use of Likeness and Moral Rights Waiver

You allow Slacker and participating brands to use your name, image, voice, and likeness as they appear in your content for marketing and reporting purposes related to content created and published by the Creator for campaigns run in partnership through Slacker.

You also waive any moral rights (like the right to be credited or to object to small edits) to the extent allowed by law. This means we can use your content as part of a campaign without needing extra permissions each time.

6. AI and Adaptation

Slacker uses AI tools to help enhance creator content for brand campaigns. By using the Platform, you give Slacker permission to use your likeness, voice, and creative style to generate brand-aligned versions of your existing content that include sponsored or promotional messages.

You will always have the right to review and approve any AI-adapted content before it is published or promoted. Slacker will not publish or distribute any AI-generated or modified version of your content without your explicit approval.

All AI processing follows Slacker's Privacy Policy and is designed to respect your creative integrity and personal brand.

7. Revenue Share and Payments

You'll earn money from campaigns either through a flat fee or revenue share, as explained in the Slacker Monetization Policy. We'll handle all payments after your campaign is approved and published.

8. Creator Responsibilities

As a Creator on the Platform, you agree to:

  • Ensure your content follows all applicable laws and platform rules
  • Own or have permission to use everything in your content
  • Clearly label any sponsored content (such as using "#ad" or "#sponsored")
  • Provide accurate information about your social media presence
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials
  • Comply with all platform guidelines and content policies

9. User Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Platform and participate in monetization campaigns. By using the Platform, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.

10. Intellectual Property

Your Content: You retain ownership of your original content. By uploading content, you grant us a non-exclusive license to use, display, and distribute that content as necessary to provide our services as described in Section 4.

Slacker's Intellectual Property: All technology, tools, designs, features, and content on the Slacker Platform — including our name, logo, software, and AI systems — belong entirely to Slacker and are protected by law. You can use the Platform only as described in these Terms and for your own creator activities. You don't get any ownership or license to Slacker's intellectual property by using the Platform. Please don't copy, modify, or try to reverse-engineer any part of it.

Platform Data: The Platform retains rights to aggregate, anonymized data solely for the purpose of operating and improving the platform features you choose to use.

Google Data Exception: Any Google user data obtained via OAuth is subject to Google's Limited-Use requirements; we never aggregate or republish it outside the features described on our product pages.

11. Termination and Data Retention

Account Termination: You can delete your account at any time. Licenses for active campaigns stay valid until the end of the License Term. Slacker can suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms.

Data Deletion: Upon termination, your content will be deleted from our platform within 30 days. For Google-connected accounts, all Google user data is deleted within 30 days of disconnection or account termination.

  • OAuth tokens are immediately revoked upon disconnection
  • Backups containing user data are automatically purged within 30 days
  • Active campaign licenses remain valid through their License Term

12. Platform Usage and Data Handling

When using our platform, you agree not to:

  • Violate any applicable laws or regulations
  • Infringe on the intellectual property rights of others
  • Distribute malware or other harmful code
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our platform or systems
  • Use the platform in any way that could damage or overburden our infrastructure

Google User Data: We do not sell, rent, or transfer Google-sourced user data to third-party advertisers, data brokers, or analytics vendors. Access to any Google user data is restricted to authorized staff and only for debugging, abuse-investigation, or as required by law.

13. Representations and Warranties

By using the Platform, you confirm and warrant that:

  • You are at least 18 years old
  • You own your content or have permission to use it
  • Your content doesn't break any laws or infringe anyone's rights
  • You will cooperate if there are any issues or legal claims related to your content

Indemnification: You agree to protect Slacker and our partners from any claims, costs, or damages that result from your content or your actions on the Platform.

14. Limitation of Liability

Slacker provides the Platform "as is" and cannot guarantee perfect performance or results. We are not responsible for:

  • Any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
  • Loss of profits, data, followers, or business opportunities
  • Content created by users
  • Third-party services or platforms
  • Interruptions or errors in the functioning of the platform

Our total liability to you will never exceed what we paid you in the past 12 months.

15. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Users will be notified of significant changes. Continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of modified Terms.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Arbitration: Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform will be resolved through binding arbitration administered by JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services) in California, rather than in court. You waive your right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action lawsuit.

17. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:

  • TLS 1.2+ encryption for all data in transit
  • AES-256 encryption for sensitive data at rest, including OAuth tokens
  • Role-based access controls that limit internal access to user data
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability scanning
  • Automatic session timeouts and token rotation

18. Privacy and Data

Your data is handled according to our Privacy Policy at https://slacker.dev/privacy, which explains how we collect, use, and share information.
