Creator Agreement

This Creator Agreement ("Agreement") is between you ("Creator") and HASTREOS LTD (trading as Hastreos) ("we," "us"). It applies when you apply to or participate in brand partnerships coordinated through Hastreos. This Agreement supplements our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

1. Partnership overview

Hastreos connects verified creators with brand sponsors in audio, streaming, and creator-gear categories. Each campaign has specific deliverables, timelines, and compensation confirmed before you accept.

2. Application and verification

2.1 Accurate information

You must provide truthful personal, channel, and contact information. You represent that you own or control the YouTube channel you submit.

2.2 Channel verification

Before a partnership is activated, you must complete YouTube channel verification. This confirms you control the channel — preventing someone else from entering your channel name and redirecting payments to themselves. Failed or skipped verification means we cannot proceed with paid partnerships on that channel.

3. Campaign acceptance

A partnership is confirmed only when you explicitly accept a written offer (email, message, or platform confirmation) specifying:

• Brand name and product (if applicable)
• Platform and content format (e.g. 60-second YouTube integration)
• Deliverables and deadlines
• Compensation amount and currency
• Usage rights granted to the brand

4. Creator obligations

• Produce content that meets the agreed brief while preserving your authentic voice
• Include required sponsorship disclosures (#ad, paid partnership, or platform-equivalent labels)
• Submit drafts for approval when the brief requires it
• Publish within the agreed window and notify us of delays promptly
• Not disparage the brand or product beyond honest review standards agreed in the brief
• Comply with YouTube, FTC, and applicable advertising regulations

5. Payment

5.1 After verification

Once your channel is verified, our team is notified and will contact you directly to discuss payment details — including currency, payment method (bank transfer, PayPal, or other agreed method), and tax documentation.

5.2 Payment release

Payment is released after deliverables are published and meet the campaign requirements, unless otherwise agreed (e.g. partial upfront for long productions). Payment timing is typically within 14–30 business days of confirmed publication unless a different schedule is stated in your offer.

5.3 Disputes

If you believe payment is overdue or a deliverable was rejected unfairly, contact us at [email protected] with campaign details. We will review in good faith within 10 business days.

6. Intellectual property

6.1 Your content

You retain ownership of content you create. Upon acceptance of a campaign, you grant the brand a non-exclusive license to repost, whitelist, or amplify the sponsored segment for the period and channels specified in the offer (commonly 30–90 days for paid amplification).

6.2 Exclusivity

Unless explicitly stated in a campaign offer, Hastreos partnerships are non-exclusive. Category exclusivity (e.g. no competing microphone brands for 14 days) applies only when agreed in writing.

6.3 Brand materials

Product samples, logos, and assets provided by the brand may be used only for the agreed deliverables and must be returned or disposed of per brand instructions where applicable.

7. Cancellation

7.1 Before acceptance

You may withdraw your application at any time before accepting a specific campaign offer.

7.2 After acceptance

If you cancel after accepting, the brand may seek reimbursement for product costs or partial payment for work completed. Repeated cancellations may affect future partnership eligibility.

7.3 By us or the brand

We or the brand may cancel a campaign for material breach, failure to meet deadlines without notice, or brand budget changes. If cancellation occurs through no fault of yours after substantial work, we will negotiate fair partial compensation.

8. Confidentiality

Unreleased product information, unreleased briefs, and non-public compensation terms are confidential. Do not share them outside what is needed to produce the content.

9. Non-exclusivity with Hastreos

Joining the Hastreos network does not require exclusivity with us. You remain free to work with other agencies and brands, subject only to any category exclusivity in individual campaign offers.

10. Termination

We may remove you from the creator network for verification fraud, repeated no-shows, disclosure violations, or conduct harmful to brands or Hastreos. You may request removal by emailing [email protected].

11. Disputes

Disputes arising under this Agreement shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, disputes are governed by the laws of England and Wales, consistent with our Terms of Service.

12. Entire agreement

This Agreement, together with the campaign-specific offer, Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy, constitutes the full agreement for your participation as a Hastreos creator.
