1. Who we are and what this is
In plain words: brands buy campaigns from us, we engage you to make clips for those campaigns, and we pay you for results you can verify. This document is the contract between you and us.
1.1 clipbeep is operated by Everlancer OÜ, a European Union company registered in Estonia (registry code 17590253, Narva mnt 5, 10117 Tallinn) ("clipbeep", "we", "us"). Our contact address is hello@clipbeep.com.
1.2 These Terms apply to you when you create a clipper account, join a campaign, post a clip, or receive money from us ("you", "your"). Our contracts with brands are separate from these Terms, and you are not a party to them. Our Privacy Policy explains what we do with personal data and forms part of these Terms. We are the controller of the personal data we process about you, including when we run campaigns for brands. Our identity verification provider carries out identity checks for us as our processor under a data processing agreement, and acts as a controller only for its own fraud prevention and to meet its own legal obligations (9.8). Our payout partners act as independent controllers for their own onboarding (9.4), under their own privacy terms. Brands receive what they see as recipients and are not controllers or joint controllers of our processing of that data: they do not decide why or how it is processed, and they give us no instructions about it. A brand that has bought a campaign from us sees only what it needs to review the work it bought: your public handle, the clips and post links you submit to its campaign, your showcase videos (6.12), the performance of those posts, and our warnings and strike decisions on them (section 13). We never give a brand your legal name, contact details, identity or tax information, payout details, balance or earnings, or anything we read from your connected accounts beyond the public metrics of posts in its campaign. Brands cannot export or download clipper data from clipbeep, and our contracts with brands forbid them to use what they see to contact you outside clipbeep, profile you, or keep their own records about you. The only exception is your clip itself: when a brand republishes or edits your clip on its own channels under the licence in section 6, that use is the brand's own, and the brand is responsible for it.
1.3 By creating an account you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not create an account.
1.4 We are not your employer, your agent, or your partner. You are an independent creator deciding for yourself what to post, when, and on which of your own accounts. Nothing here creates an employment relationship, and you are responsible for your own taxes and social contributions in your own country.
1.5 You provide your work to us as an independent contractor. We are the party that orders your work and pays for it under these Terms. Brands are our customers, not yours, and nothing in these Terms creates a contract between you and a brand.
1.6 What being independent means in practice. You work with us as a self-employed creator or a freelancer, and we run clipbeep so that this is true in fact, not just on paper:
(a) you choose whether to join any campaign, and you may decline a campaign or stop posting to it at any time. Turning campaigns down never lowers your rate, your standing, or the campaigns we show you;
(b) you choose when, where, how often and how much you work. There are no minimum hours, shifts, availability windows or posting quotas, and we do not penalise you for being inactive;
(c) you decide how to make your clips, with your own equipment, software and methods. You may get help from others, as long as the clip is posted from an account listed on your profile and you remain responsible for it under these Terms;
(d) you are free to work for anyone else at the same time, including other clipping services, agencies, and our competitors. The only limit is the one in section 17;
(e) the campaign card and campaign rules describe the result we are buying and the legal and brand requirements it has to meet. They do not tell you how to organise your work, and we do not supervise your working time;
(f) you are paid per result, not for your time, and you carry your own costs and business risk.
If anything we do looks to you like the kind of control an employer has, tell us at hello@clipbeep.com and we will review it.
2. Who can join
In plain words: 18 or over, not in a sanctioned country, one account per person, real identity.
2.1 Age. You must be at least 18 years old. You confirm your age when you sign up, and your identity and date of birth are checked by our identity verification provider before your first payout (section 9.8). We may freeze payouts until that check is complete. We may close an account if we learn the holder is under 18, and any accrual on that account is handled under section 12 (Voided accruals).
2.2 Where you can be. clipbeep is open worldwide except for jurisdictions and persons covered by the EU consolidated sanctions list, the sanctions programmes administered by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control, and the UK sanctions list, each as updated from time to time. You confirm you are not a sanctioned person and are not acting for one. This currently closes clipbeep to Russia, Belarus, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, and the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, in addition to any other jurisdiction under a comprehensive sanctions programme from those lists. We keep the current list on the signup and country screens rather than freezing it in this document, and section 2.6 covers what happens to money you already earned if a new closure affects you.
2.3 We may also close specific countries to new clippers, or to payouts, where our fraud statistics for that country make the risk unmanageable, or where our payout partner does not serve it. We will say so on the signup and payout screens rather than letting you find out at the end.
2.4 One account. One person, one account. Do not run a second account to join the same campaign twice, to get around a restriction, or to post from an account you do not control.
2.5 Your posting accounts. You may only post from social accounts you own and control, and you must comply with the terms of the platform you post on. We do not override TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram rules, and we cannot help you if a platform removes your post.
2.6 A country closing does not touch what you already earned. If we close your country under 2.3, or if it becomes subject to a sanctions programme under 2.2, accruals you earned before that date are not voided or reversed for that reason alone. They stay on your balance, and your balance page states plainly why a payout is not moving.
2.7 A short questionnaire. Before you can join a campaign, mint a tracked link, or submit a clip, you complete a one-time questionnaire covering the confirmations in 2.1 and 2.2, your country of residence, the languages you create in, the niches and content formats you post, whether your account is a declared AI creator (section 6.11), the status you work under (section 2.12), and your country of tax residence (section 2.13). You can update your answers later from your profile. Answering honestly is a condition of using clipbeep.
2.8 Connecting a social account. You can connect a TikTok account or an Instagram professional (Creator or Business) account you own. YouTube needs no connection: we read its public metrics directly. Connecting is optional, but TikTok and Instagram views on an unconnected account are not counted toward your verified performance (section 8.2). An external account can be connected to one clipbeep account only. If you try to connect one that is already linked elsewhere, we refuse the connection and may flag both accounts under 11.1(l).
2.9 What we read. Once connected, we read only your own posts: which posts are yours, and their public metrics such as views, likes, and publish date. We do not read your messages, your followers, or any other account's data, and we never post on your behalf.
2.10 Storage and disconnecting. Access tokens for a connected account are encrypted and are not exposed in our product or our support tools. Disconnect at any time from your profile. From that moment we stop reading that account: clips already submitted from it keep whatever verification they already earned, and new TikTok or Instagram views on that account stop being paid or displayed. Disconnecting never affects money you have already earned, and it does not affect YouTube verification, which does not require a connected account.
2.11 Listed and public posting accounts. Your profile lists every social account you post from for clipbeep, connected under 2.8 or not, and you may list several. Every listed account must be public: a brand must be able to open your post from the link you submit without logging in, following you, or asking for access. We check that a link opens when you submit it. We reject a post at submission if it comes from an account that is not on your profile. A post from an account that is private when we or the brand review it does not earn (12.1(f)) unless you make it public within the notice period in 13.8.
2.12 How you work with us. As part of the questionnaire in 2.7, you tell us which of two statuses you work under: self-employed, in your own name or through an entity ((a) or (b)), or freelancer ((c)):
(a) Self-employed, in your own name. You are a sole trader or hold another self-employed registration in your country (for example, a UK sole trader, a French micro-entrepreneur or a German Einzelunternehmer or Freiberufler). You give us your registration number and, where you have one, your VAT number.
(b) Self-employed, through an entity. You work through a company, partnership or other legal entity. The entity is then the party to these Terms and the payee, the account is a business account, and you confirm that you are authorised to act for it. Every person who posts for the entity must meet 2.1 and 2.5. You give us the entity's legal name, registration number and, where it has one, its VAT number. We check the VAT number in the EU's VIES system when you give it to us and before payouts, and our self-billing invoices (9.7) show how VAT applies to what we pay the company.
(c) Freelancer. You work for yourself without a business registration, where the law of your country allows you to do so for this kind of work.
(d) Your responsibility. You are responsible for holding any registration, licence or tax status that your country requires for the status you choose, and for accounting for your own tax and social contributions. The status you choose decides how we issue self-billing invoices and payout statements (9.7) and what we report under section 10. Tell us within 30 days if your status changes. The change applies to accruals recorded after we update your account. Whichever status you choose, you never work for us as an employee, and section 1.6 still applies.
2.13 Your country of tax residence. Your country of tax residence must be one we serve for the status you choose under 2.12. The countries and statuses we serve are shown on the signup and payout screens, and we check the country of tax residence you give us. We do not accept clippers who are tax resident in Estonia, in any status under 2.12: this includes individuals who are self-employed or freelancers, and companies and other entities registered or tax resident in Estonia. If we learn that your country of tax residence is not one we serve for your status, we stop accepting new campaign joins from your account until this is resolved, and we pay out accruals already recorded once it is.
3. What clipbeep actually does with the money
In plain words: brands pay us up front for campaigns. We set your rate ourselves, and it is not a cut of what the brand pays. What you earn is money we owe you, and we pay it from our own funds. We are not a bank.
3.1 Brands buy campaigns from us and pay us for them in advance, before a campaign accepts clippers. A campaign cannot go live on clipbeep until the brand has paid us for it. This is one of the reasons we exist.
3.2 When you earn an accrual, it is an amount we owe you under these Terms for work you did for us. We pay it from our own funds. Our obligation to pay you does not depend on whether the brand has paid us or disputes its payment to us. If a brand fails to pay us, or reverses or charges back a payment it made to us, that loss is ours: it never reduces, voids or claws back anything we owe you or have already paid you.
3.3 We set your rate per result ourselves, from our own clipper rate card, within the bands described in section 3.5. Your rate is not calculated from, and does not move automatically with, what any brand pays us. It is the number printed on your campaign card. Your rate is shown on the card, on every ledger entry, and on every receipt, before the fact, not netted off quietly. Nothing is deducted from the rate printed on your card: it is already yours in full.
3.4 We are not a bank, an e-money institution, or a payment institution, and we do not provide payment services to you. We pay you as the customer of your work, through the payout partner described in section 9. What we pay you is our own payment, from our own funds, for work you did for us.
3.5 How we set your rate. For each type of activity (for example, a sale on a given platform, or a thousand verified views in a given content format), our rate card sets a minimum and a maximum rate per result, with tiers by content type, niche and experience. Within that band, we set the rate for each campaign ourselves, either through our own pricing model or by a decision of our pricing team, taking into account the content type and format, platform, niche, your experience tier, market, expected workload, current clipper demand and our own commercial position. We never set a rate below the minimum for that activity. A brand cannot set, instruct or veto your rate, and your rate is not a fixed share of, or a formula based on, what the brand pays us. We review the bands at least once a quarter and keep a record of how each campaign rate was set. A change to a band applies only to campaigns you join after it takes effect: once you join a campaign, the rate on its card stays fixed for your posts in that campaign, unless we raise it.
3.6 What keeps your rate independent. Because we set your rate ourselves under 3.5:
(a) different clippers can earn different rates on the same campaign: within the band we may offer a higher rate to clippers with a stronger verified track record, a cleaner compliance history, or skills the campaign needs, and the rate that applies to you is the one shown on your card when you join;
(b) what a brand pays us does not change your rate: a change to the brand's price, or a discount, credit, volume deal or refund we agree with a brand, leaves the rate on your card untouched;
(c) we may add bonuses or boosts on top of your rate, from our own funds and at our own choice, for example to fill a campaign quickly or to reward quality, and we show them on your card or ledger before they apply;
(d) our margin on a campaign is ours to win or lose: it can be large, small or negative, and where the rates we owe on a campaign exceed what the brand paid us, we still pay every accrual at the rate on your card, except as section 18.6 provides differently.
4. Campaigns, joining, and posting
In plain words: read the campaign card, it is the deal. Post links you mint on clipbeep are how you get paid.
4.1 Each campaign has a campaign card that states the rates, the caps, the attribution window in days, the lock period in days for results priced per sale (section 9.1), the platforms allowed, the content rules, and any brand-specific requirements. The campaign card is part of these Terms for that campaign, and where it is more specific than this document, it governs for that campaign.
4.2 When you join a campaign you get a tracked link, and where the campaign uses them, a promo code. Mint a separate post link for each post. If you post without the tracked link or code from that campaign, we cannot attribute the result and you will not be paid for it. This is a measurement limit, not a punishment.
4.3 Do not post the same clip to the same campaign twice to multiply accruals, and do not re-upload another clipper's work.
4.4 Campaign Admission and Accruals. A campaign may be open to all eligible clippers or subject to admission requirements set by the brand. The brand determines the campaign rules and selects whether clippers are admitted automatically, based on filters applied to information declared in their profiles, or manually, through acceptance or rejection of individual applications in the app. We make and communicate admission decisions in our own name and reserve the right to override them. Clippers rejected automatically will be informed of the admission criteria they did not meet and may request a human review. We do not approve posts before publication. Where required by a pilot brief, the brand may review videos against the brief through clipbeep before publication, and we will communicate the outcome to the clipper. We may suspend the accrual of earnings pending the completion of applicable checks, without preventing publication of the post.
4.5 Nothing on clipbeep is a promise of views, sales, or income. Campaign estimates are estimates.
4.6 Our review, before anyone can join. A campaign, and the brand behind it, must pass our own review before clippers can see it at all. This is separate from a campaign's own approval or seats process under 4.4, which governs individual applications to a campaign that has already passed our review. You will not see an unapproved campaign in discovery, and you cannot join it, mint a link for it, or submit a clip to it until both the brand and the campaign are approved by us.
4.7 No cap on how many clips you submit. There is no daily or per-campaign limit on the number of clips you can post. In a campaign that pays per view, the brand may cap how many of your posts are paid per day; the cap is shown on the campaign card, and posts above it do not earn. A clip can still fail to earn without any cap existing: duplication (4.8), fraud (section 11), a campaign's own submission review under 4.4, a missing disclosure under section 5, views on an unverified account under 2.8, and a temporary limit on the submission form (4.9). Apart from a daily cap on paid view-based posts, none of those limits how much you can earn.
4.8 Originality. The same post cannot be submitted twice, by you or by anyone else. A video that closely duplicates another clipper's submission to the same campaign does not earn (11.1(l)). Your own clip posted to a different platform is not treated as a duplicate of itself.
4.9 A technical limit on submissions. To stop scripted abuse of the submission form, we may temporarily limit how many clips you can submit in a short period. This protects the form, not your earnings: it is temporary, it never cancels a clip you already submitted, and you can try again shortly after.
4.10 Your Links page. When your Links page is live, we give you one public page, clipbeep.com/l/<your handle>, listing the campaigns you are actively promoting. Each card on it links through the same tracked redirect as your other links, so a click from your Links page is measured exactly like a click on any other post link you minted. We hide a card from your Links page while its campaign is paused, closed, or not yet approved, or while your account is flagged.
4.11 Campaign rules. Every campaign carries a campaign rules form set by us, based on the brand's brief: what to say and what not to say about the product, formats, the disclosure required under section 5, and the platforms allowed. The rules are part of the campaign card. Joining a campaign is your acceptance of the rules version shown at that moment; we record which version you accepted and when. A post is judged against the rules version in force when you posted it. If we change the rules, including at the brand's request, we tell you, posts you already made are not affected, and you confirm the new version before your next post to that campaign.
4.12 Rules cannot go below these Terms or the law. Campaign rules can be stricter than these Terms, never looser. A rule that asks you to drop or weaken a disclosure (section 5), to make a claim you cannot lawfully make, or to do anything section 11 lists as fraud is void, and following it is not a defence. Tell us if you see one.
4.13 Platforms, including "other". The campaign card lists where you may post. Where it allows "other", you name the platform yourself when you submit the post link, and the link must open publicly (2.11). The platform you post on does not change how a sale is verified: a sale counts when it runs through your tracked link into the brand's checkout, or through your promo code (section 8). Views are paid only on platforms with a verified data source (8.2).
4.14 Brands may use automated tools. A brand may use software or AI agents acting for it to brief us and buy campaigns from us. That changes nothing for you: the campaign rules, the price you see, your disclosure duties and our verification apply exactly the same, and the brand stays responsible for what its tools do.
4.15 Banned products, and health and wellness apps. Some products can never be promoted on clipbeep. Health and wellness apps, and consumer health devices sold with an app, are allowed, and so are campaigns from a brand whose wider catalogue also includes adult content, under the rules below. Adult content itself is never allowed.
(a) Health and wellness apps. Campaigns for health and wellness apps, and for consumer health devices sold with an app that are available without a prescription and lawfully on the market (with CE marking where the law requires it), are a normal category, and individual posts do not need our approval before they go live. Their campaign rules prohibit medical claims: you must not say or suggest that the app or device treats, cures or diagnoses any condition, or that it guarantees an outcome.
(b) Breach. A post that makes a medical claim breaks the campaign rules, and we deal with it through warnings and strikes under section 13.
(c) Brands whose catalogue includes adult content. A campaign is not excluded only because the brand's wider catalogue includes adult content, provided that: (i) the campaign promotes only titles or products that contain no adult content; (ii) every tracked link leads only to pages that contain no adult content; (iii) your clips contain no adult content and follow the campaign rules and these Terms; and (iv) we check the destination when we review the campaign under 4.6. In these campaigns, promote only the titles or products named on the campaign card, use only the tracked links we give you, and do not point viewers to the brand's adult content in your clips, captions, comments or profile. If a destination later changes so that any of these conditions is no longer met, we may pause or close the campaign under 18.1, and what you have already earned is dealt with under section 18.
(d) Never allowed. Gambling, betting and lotteries of any kind; alcohol; crypto-assets; unauthorized financial or insurance products and services; products making health claims (including food supplements, slimming products, over-the-counter medicines and medical devices), other than health and wellness apps under (a); cosmetic surgery and aesthetic procedures; tobacco, vapes and other nicotine products; prescription-only medicines, illegal drugs and unapproved pharmaceuticals; crypto-casinos and unlicensed gambling; weapons; adult content; and high-risk trading products such as contracts for difference, binary options and leveraged foreign-exchange trading, as well as get-rich-quick and trading-signal schemes, are never allowed. Do not promote or feature them in your clips.
5. Advertising disclosure: your legal duty, not a checkbox
In plain words: you are being paid, so you must say so, in words, on every post.
5.1 You are paid for the results of your posts, which is a material connection between you and the brand. Both you and the brand carry legal responsibility for disclosing it. This is required by the US FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) and by EU unfair commercial practices rules, and it is a condition of being paid on clipbeep.
5.2 What counts. A clear disclosure placed where a viewer sees it without tapping "more". These are accepted: #ad, #sponsored, #paidpartnership, #gifted, or a plain spoken or on-screen statement that the post is paid.
5.3 What does not count. #spon, #sp, #collab, #ambassador on its own, #thanks, #love, disclosure buried at the end of a hashtag block, disclosure only in a comment, or disclosure only in a caption when the claim is made in the video.
5.4 Platform toggles are not enough on their own. TikTok's branded content toggle, Instagram's paid partnership label, and YouTube's paid promotion checkbox are useful and you should switch them on where the campaign asks for it, but you must still disclose in your own words in the post.
5.5 A post that does not disclose properly is a rule breach. We may hold accruals on it, ask you to fix it within 72 hours, refuse to pay it, and in repeated cases restrict your account under section 19.
5.6 If a brand asks you to remove or weaken a disclosure, do not do it, and tell us. A brand instruction never overrides this section.
5.7 Confirming disclosure is part of getting your link. Minting a tracked link for a post, or submitting a clip, requires you to confirm that the post is marked as paid partnership. The confirmation is required, not a reminder: you cannot get a link or submit without it, and a brand cannot ask us to waive it for their campaign.
6. Your content stays yours
In plain words: you own your clip. You give three separate, limited licences. Paid ads are always a separate yes.
6.1 Ownership. You keep ownership of everything you create. Nothing in these Terms transfers copyright in your clip to us or to a brand.
6.2 Grant A: the clipbeep house licence. You grant clipbeep a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, display, and transmit your posted clip and its thumbnail, metrics, and public handle, for the purpose of operating clipbeep, and to show it in our own showcase, case studies, and marketing of clipbeep. You can opt out of us using your clip in paid advertising for clipbeep by writing to hello@clipbeep.com, and we will stop within 30 days, without affecting your account or your accruals.
6.3 Grant B: the brand licence. For each campaign you join, you grant clipbeep an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence, which we sublicense to the brand that bought the campaign from us, to use your clip in the brand's own marketing, including to:
(a) view, share, and link to your post as published;
(b) repost or re-upload your clip on channels the brand owns or controls (its own social accounts, its own website, its own app, its own email and internal decks);
(c) make light edits: trimming, cropping to platform aspect ratios, adding captions or subtitles, and adding its own branding, provided the edit does not distort, misrepresent, or omit the substantive message of your clip, does not remove your watermark or handle where visible, and does not remove or obscure the advertising disclosure.
6.4 Term and exclusivity of Grant B. The brand licence runs for the campaign period plus 24 months after the campaign ends. While it runs, you may not license the clip, or allow it to be used, for anyone else, apart from the licence that the posting platform's own terms require for your post (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or another platform the campaign allows). You keep the right to show the clip in your own portfolio and on your own profiles and accounts, and clipbeep keeps its rights under Grant A. The exclusivity covers the clip only: it never stops you making other clips for anyone else, including brands in the same category (section 1.6(d)).
6.5 Excluded from Grant B. The brand licence does not cover television, OTT, CTV, cinema, out-of-home or any offline placement, does not cover any paid media spend, and the brand may not sublicense it further except to its own agency acting on its behalf and bound by the same limits.
6.6 Grant C: paid amplification, opt-in only. Whitelisting, Spark Ads, Partnership Ads, boosting, or any use of your post or your handle in paid media requires a separate opt-in from you for that specific campaign. The opt-in is a distinct step in the product, not part of joining a campaign and not part of accepting these Terms.
(a) The default duration of an amplification opt-in is 30 days from the date you give it.
(b) It can be extended in further 30-day blocks, each one a fresh opt-in.
(c) Total paid amplification of a single post cannot exceed 180 days without a new opt-in given after that period.
(d) The opt-in step includes the music and rights confirmation in section 7. If you cannot confirm it, the brand cannot run paid amplification on that post.
(e) You can decline an amplification request without any effect on your accruals, your standing, or your access to campaigns.
6.7 When a licence expires. After Grant B or Grant C ends, your original organic post may stay live on your account, and nothing requires you to delete it. From that point the brand must not pin it, repost it, boost it with paid spend, link to it in advertising, or otherwise promote it.
6.8 Moral rights. Estonian law does not allow an author to transfer or waive their personal (moral) rights, and we are not asking you to. Instead:
(a) you consent to the specific kinds of modification described in section 6.3(c), and to your clip being used in the formats and channels described in this section 6;
(b) you consent to your clip being shown without your name attached where the format does not carry attribution, for example inside a brand's own edit or an aggregated showcase;
(c) for as long as that consent stands, you agree not to exercise your personal rights in a way that contradicts it.
6.9 AI-assisted and AI-generated content. You may use AI-assisted editing, AI voiceover, and AI-generated elements in your clip if you follow the rules of the platform you post on and declare the AI use when you submit. Where the AI content is realistic enough that a viewer could mistake it for unedited footage of a real person, voice, or scene, you must also apply that platform's own AI label, for example TikTok's AIGC label, Meta's "AI info" label, or YouTube's disclosure for altered or synthetic content. An obviously cartoonish overlay or graphic does not need a platform label.
6.10 What AI never excuses. Regardless of any declaration or label, you may never post a deepfake or an impersonation of a real person, a fabricated testimonial or review, or an invented result, statistic, or quote. A breach voids the accrual under section 12 and can restrict your account under section 19, whether or not you used AI to make it.
6.11 AI creator accounts. If the account you post from is a virtual character or an AI persona rather than a person appearing as themselves, you declare it as an "AI creator" account in your questionnaire (section 2.7), and it must also be labelled as AI on the platform you post on. An AI creator account can join and post to a campaign only where we have allowed AI creators for that campaign, which we do only at the brand's request; otherwise you get an honest refusal, not a silent one. An AI creator account never claims personal experience, a review, or a testimonial in its own voice: it can show and explain a product, not vouch for it. None of this changes who stands behind the account: a real person still connects it, owns it, and completes identity verification before any payout, exactly as for any other account.
6.12 Your showcase video. You may upload one or more short vertical videos you own to your profile as a showcase of your work. We store them privately: they are shown only to you and to us and to brands that have bought a campaign from us, never published publicly by us. Limits: 200 MB per file, 120 seconds per video, up to 5 videos. We review a showcase video before it is shown to a brand. A showcase video is deleted when your account is erased.
7. Music and anything in your clip that is not yours
In plain words: if there is a track, a clip, or a face in your video that is not yours, that is your problem to clear, and it becomes everyone's problem the moment paid ads touch it.
7.1 You confirm that you own or have the rights to everything in the clip you post: footage, music, voice, images, trademarks, and the appearance of any identifiable person.
7.2 Platform music libraries generally license trending tracks for organic posting only. They usually do not cover paid advertising. Running paid amplification over an uncleared track is an infringement, and the bill lands on the brand and on us.
7.3 For that reason, the amplification opt-in in section 6.6 includes a confirmation that the audio and any third-party material in the post is cleared for paid use. If you cannot confirm it, say so, and the post simply stays organic. There is no penalty for saying no.
7.4 You will indemnify clipbeep against third-party claims arising from material in your clip that you did not have the rights to use, and from a false confirmation under 7.3.
8. How you earn, and what the ledger is
In plain words: results are counted in our ledger, in cents, and shown to you as they happen. If our number and yours differ, section 15 is how you challenge it.
8.1 Each campaign pays per verified result in one mode only: either a rate per sale (CPA) within a cap, or a rate per thousand verified views (CPM). The campaign card states which, and at what rate.
8.2 Views are counted only where we can verify them through an official platform data source, meaning the platform's own API: TikTok's Display API and Instagram's API for professional accounts, read through your connected account, and the YouTube Data API for public video statistics. Where we have no verified source for a platform, views on that platform are not paid and are not displayed as earnings. We only show numbers we have checked ourselves.
8.3 Sales are attributed to you through the tracked link you minted, or through your campaign promo code.
8.4 Attribution window. A sale counts for you if it happens within the attribution window that starts when the viewer clicks your link. The default window is 30 days. We set it for each campaign, anywhere between 7 and 90 days, and the number in force is printed on the campaign card before you join.
8.5 The ledger of record. Our records (clicks, post links, sales, accruals, payouts) are the record of what happened, and they prevail unless there is a manifest error. A manifest error is an obvious mistake that can be demonstrated, for example a duplicate entry, a missing webhook, a wrong rate applied, or a currency or rounding fault. We correct manifest errors in both directions, including in your favour, whether or not you noticed them.
8.6 All amounts are recorded in whole US cents. Fractions are rounded in the way stated on the receipt.
9. Getting paid
In plain words: 7 days to clear (results priced per sale: 10 days from verification, up to 14 days where we set a longer period for that campaign), $20 minimum, weekly batches through our payout partner. There is no manual payout button.
9.1 Clearing. An accrual becomes payable 7 days after it is recorded, except that an accrual for a result priced per sale becomes payable 10 days after the result is verified, or after a longer period of up to 14 days where we set a longer period for that campaign (the lock period). A sale result is verified on the date the brand has reported the sale to us and it has passed our checks on attribution (sections 8.3 and 8.4) and fraud (section 11). A hold under section 13 placed after that date does not change it, the lock period or the refund window in 12.1(a). The lock period exists so that an end customer's refund or chargeback of the sale can be caught before the money leaves, rather than after. Once the lock period ends, a later refund or chargeback of that sale does not affect what you are paid.
9.2 Minimum. The minimum payable balance is $20. Anything below that carries over to the next batch.
9.3 Batches. Payouts run in scheduled weekly batches through our payout partner. There is no manual payout request and no "pay me now" button. A payout above $50 also requires two-factor authentication on your account; your balance page tells you when to set it up. If the payout rail is not yet live for your account or your country, accruals keep accumulating and are included in the first batch after it opens. Your balance page always states which of those two states you are in.
9.4 Payout partners. Payouts are executed through our payout partners (a licensed payment institution for card and bank payouts, and where needed one additional licensed payout provider). You will need to complete the relevant partner's own onboarding. Their terms apply to the transfer itself, their fees and currency conversion are theirs, and we cannot release a payout to an account that has not passed their checks. Your balance page tells you which partner and which status apply to your account.
9.5 Payment rail holds are outside our control. Our payout partners may apply holds to payouts to you. For example, a payout partner may hold funds where they have a reasonable suspicion of fraudulent or criminal activity, sometimes without a fixed end date. Where a hold of this kind delays your payout we will tell you that it is a payment partner hold, tell you what we know, and chase it, but we cannot override it and we are not liable for it beyond section 21.
9.6 Taxes. You are responsible for your own income tax and social contributions. We do not withhold on your behalf unless the law requires it.
9.7 Payout statements. When an accrual is recorded, we issue a self-billing invoice for it, dated that day, for the services you provided to us. If the accrual is later reversed or voided, we issue a correcting document. Every payout comes with a statement listing the self-billing invoices it settles. If your country requires you to issue your own invoice, you can, and it must match our self-billing invoice.
9.8 Identity verification (KYC). Before your first payout, you complete identity verification through our identity verification provider: proof of identity from an identity document, a selfie liveness check, a one-to-one comparison of your selfie with the photo on that document, an age check from the document (and, for some documents, an age estimate from the selfie), and a sanctions screen. The selfie comparison uses biometric data, so we and our identity verification provider run it only with your explicit consent under Article 9(2)(a) GDPR. You give that consent in a separate step, by ticking an unticked box before the check starts; it is not part of accepting these Terms. Your selfie is compared only with your own identity document: we never search it against other people's faces or any database of faces. This is separate from a payout partner's own onboarding in 9.4, and both have to be complete before money can reach you. We tell you exactly what is missing. A pending or failed check holds your payout, not your accruals: what you have earned keeps sitting on your balance.
10. Tax information we collect
In plain words: As the party paying you, we have to collect your tax details and, where the law requires, report them. For DAC7 only, Estonian law treats us as a reporting platform operator for the services you provide to us, so we report what we pay clippers who live in the EU. If you live in the EU: no details, no payouts.
10.1 We collect and verify your country of tax residence and, if you are tax resident in an EU member state, your tax identification number and report what we pay you to the tax authorities where EU and Estonian law require it, including under the EU rules on reporting by digital platform operators (Council Directive (EU) 2021/514, known as DAC7).
10.2 If you are tax resident in an EU member state, you agree to provide, and to keep current: your full legal name, your date of birth, your address, the country you are tax resident in, and your tax identification number where you have one, the country that issued it (or your place of birth if you do not have one), and the bank or payout account we pay you into and the name of its holder. For business accounts we also need the registration number and VAT number where applicable, and any permanent establishment in the EU through which you work with us.
10.3 We check the information you give us, including your tax identification number, against the tools the EU and tax authorities provide. If something is missing or does not validate, we tell you exactly what is missing. Until it is complete and has passed validation, we do not release payouts (not accruals): no details, no payouts. If it is still missing after our first request and two reminders, and at least 60 days after the first request, we may also close your account. What you have earned stays on your balance.
10.4 We are legally required to report this information, together with the amounts paid to you, the number of paid results and any fees or taxes we withheld, broken down by quarter, to the Estonian Tax and Customs Board, which may share it with the tax authority of your country of residence. Reporting is annual. We report by 31 January for the previous calendar year, and by the same date we send you a copy of what we reported about you.
10.5 For DAC7 only, Estonian law treats us as a reporting platform operator for the services you provide to us. That applies even though we buy your work ourselves and sell campaigns to brands in our own name: DAC7 treats the clips you make for those campaigns as personal services within its scope, and what we pay you for them is what we report. This is a tax-reporting classification only. It does not change that you work for us and not for brands (sections 1.5 and 3), or that you are self-employed or a freelancer (section 1.6). DAC7 applies only to clippers who are resident in, or have their address in, an EU member state, and we report only those clippers, or as Estonian law otherwise requires. If you live outside the EU, we do not report you under DAC7, and we do not collect DAC7 details from you: we ask only for what we need to confirm where you are resident and to issue your payout statements. We keep the records behind each report for the period Estonian law requires. Our Privacy Policy explains how this data is processed.
10.6 Giving us false tax information is a rule breach under section 11.
10.7 Your taxes are your responsibility. The rates on your campaign card and the amounts on your payout statements are the full price for your work, and include any tax, social contribution or levy due on them in your country. You alone are responsible for registering, declaring and paying all income tax, social security contributions, VAT and similar taxes due in any country on what we pay you. We do not withhold or pay them for you unless the law requires us to. If it does, we deduct the amount from your payout and show it on your statement. If a tax authority claims from us any tax, contribution, interest or penalty that was yours to pay, or that arises because information you gave us under 2.12, 2.13 or 10.2 was wrong or out of date, you will reimburse us. We tell you in writing first, and we send you the authority's claim. You can dispute the amount under section 15. Once the amount is settled, we recover it by set-off against your future accruals in the same way as section 14.4. Because it is a reimbursement claim and not a negative balance from a duplicate or a manifest error, the write-off in section 14.5 does not apply to it.
11. Fraud: what actually counts as fraud
In plain words: here is the list. We are not going to say "at our sole discretion" and leave you guessing.
11.1 The following are fraud or manipulation for the purposes of these Terms:
(a) bots, automated playback, view farms, engagement pods paid to inflate metrics, or any artificial inflation of views;
(b) click farms, or generating clicks that are not from real people who chose to click;
(c) buying through your own tracked link or promo code, and purchases made by members of your household, your family, or people acting on your behalf;
(d) VPN, proxy, emulator, or geo-spoofing used to make traffic look like it came from somewhere it did not;
(e) incentivised traffic: paying, rewarding, or promising anything to people in return for clicking or buying, unless the campaign card expressly allows it;
(f) cookie stuffing, forced clicks, auto-redirects, pop-unders, or any click generated without the viewer's intent;
(g) posting the same clip repeatedly across accounts or campaigns to multiply accruals, or splitting one post across duplicate links for the same purpose;
(h) posting from an account you do not own or control, or buying an account to post from;
(i) trademark bidding, typosquatting, or impersonating the brand or clipbeep;
(j) false tax, identity, or age information;
(k) any breach of section 5 (advertising disclosure) that repeats after we have asked you to fix it;
(l) connecting or submitting from a social account that belongs to someone else, or posting a video that closely duplicates another clipper's submission to the same campaign.
11.2 An objective threshold as well. Independently of the list above, we may open a review where sales attributed to you show a refund or chargeback rate above 1% over a rolling 90-day period, measured on at least 20 attributed sales so that a small sample cannot trip it. A review is not a finding. It is us looking, with the process in section 13 applying.
11.3 If you think a campaign or a brand is gaming the system against clippers, tell us. We treat that as seriously as we treat the reverse.
12. Voided accruals (before you are paid)
In plain words: if a result was never real, the accrual never becomes real either. No debt is created.
12.1 Where a result is not genuine, an accrual attached to it is voided and does not become payable. This applies where:
(a) the underlying sale by the brand to its end customer is refunded, cancelled, charged back, or was a duplicate (a refund or chargeback counts only if it is reported to us within the lock period in section 9.1, before you are paid);
(b) the result falls under section 11 (fraud);
(c) the post breached the campaign card or section 5 and was not fixed after notice;
(d) the view count came from a source we could not verify;
(e) a strike against the post was confirmed under 13.9;
(f) the post came from an account that was private at review (2.11), and this was not fixed after notice.
12.2 A voided accrual creates no debt. You do not owe us anything. The entry stays in your ledger, marked as voided, with the reason, so the history stays honest.
12.3 Voiding is our correction of a record before payment. It is not a penalty and it is not a set-off. Section 13 (holds) and section 15 (disputes) apply to it.
13. Holds and reviews
In plain words: we can pause a payout for up to 30 days, and we have to tell you why in writing when we do it. One extension, to 90 days, only if we are waiting on a bank or a payment partner.
13.1 We may place a hold on a specific accrual, on a campaign balance, or on an account where we have a reasonable, specific ground to believe section 11 applies, or where a brand has questioned whether a specific result is genuine and we need to investigate. A payout that waits for a step on your side is not a hold under this section: identity verification (9.8), a payout partner's onboarding (9.4), tax details (10.3), the tax-residence check (2.13) or, for a payout above $50, two-factor authentication on your account (9.3).
13.2 We tell you at the moment we do it, in writing, with the reason, the accruals affected, and what would resolve it. A hold without a written reason is not something we are allowed to do to you under these Terms.
13.3 Maximum 30 days. A hold lasts no longer than 30 days.
13.4 One extension to 90 days, and only where the outcome depends on a third party we do not control: a card issuer, an acquirer, our payout partner, or a law enforcement or tax authority request. We must tell you, in writing, before the first 30 days end, which third party we are waiting for.
13.5 At the end of a hold, the accrual is either released and paid in the next batch, or voided under section 12 with a written reason. It does not stay in limbo.
13.6 A hold on one accrual does not freeze your whole balance unless the ground for the hold applies to the whole account.
13.7 Warnings. A brand may issue a warning directly from a post in its campaign dashboard. The warning is immediately communicated to you through clipbeep as a warning from the brand, without requiring our prior approval. The warning must explain what needs changing and why, and is logged so that both parties can see its content and timing. We reserve the right to review and withdraw any warning. A warning is informational only and does not constitute a penalty or affect your accruals or standing. Any decision to issue a strike remains solely ours.
13.8 Strike requests. A brand can ask us to strike a post that breaks the campaign rules (4.11), the campaign card, or section 5. The brand names the rule and attaches evidence. A brand cannot request a strike for a disclosure you made, for content the rules allowed when you posted it, or later than 7 days after you submitted the post. We tell you in writing the moment a request is filed, with the rule, the evidence, and what would fix it. You have 72 hours to fix the post or to reply. A fix made inside that window closes the request with no strike. Where a fix cannot technically be made in 72 hours, tell us and we extend the window to what is reasonable. The notice says in plain words what happens if you do nothing: after the window we decide on the evidence in front of us, and the appeal under 13.12 still stands.
13.9 Our decision. A strike exists only when we confirm it. We confirm a strike only where the post broke a named rule and you did not fix it in time; we reject requests that fail that test, and we tell the brand and you why, in writing. We also reject a request where the problem came from the brand's own materials or brief, or from a rules change made after you posted. Our written decision names the post and the rule, the facts we relied on and whether a brand request started it, the clause of these Terms we applied, and how to appeal; a human makes every strike decision. A confirmed strike voids the accruals attached to that post (12.1(e)) and removes the post from the campaign. It never touches accruals on your other posts or other campaigns, it never takes back money already paid to you, it creates no debt (12.2), and it is not a penalty: it is the record that this post did not meet the conditions it was paid under. A rejected request changes nothing.
13.10 A post that has already earned. Where the post already has accruals, a confirmed strike voids them only for a material breach: a prohibited or unlawful claim, a missing disclosure you refused to fix, or content the campaign rules expressly forbade. For anything less, the outcome is a warning, and the accruals stand.
13.11 Brands that misuse strikes. A strike request is not a way to get a result without paying for it. Where at least half of a brand's strike requests are rejected, once it has made at least 4, we stop accepting strike requests from that brand, and we deal with its concerns only through our own review.
13.12 Appeal. You can appeal a confirmed strike within 30 days, by replying to the decision or writing to hello@clipbeep.com, and a person at clipbeep reviews it afresh under 19.5. Where we reverse a strike, we restore the voided accruals and say so.
14. Clawback and negative balance (after you have been paid)
In plain words: if money already reached you and it later turns out it was not earned (a duplicate, a manifest error or fraud), we set it off against your next accruals, for up to 180 days. We do not charge you interest and we do not send debt collectors after small amounts.
14.1 This section is separate from section 12 on purpose. Section 12 is about money you have not been paid yet. This section is about money that already left. It never covers a brand failing to pay us, or a brand reversing or charging back its own payment to us: that risk is ours (section 3.2), and it never creates a negative entry on your balance.
14.2 We need it because a duplicate, a manifest error or fraud can come to light after you have been paid. An end customer's refund or chargeback of a sale attributed to you is not a ground for recovery: we pay results priced per sale only after the lock period in section 9.1, and the risk of a later refund or chargeback is ours, even though it can arrive long after that, in some card schemes up to 540 days.
14.3 Where an amount already paid to you turns out not to have been earned (a duplicate, a manifest error in your favour, or a finding under section 11), that amount becomes a negative entry on your balance.
14.4 How we recover it. By set-off against your future accruals, and only that, for a period of 180 days from the date the negative entry is created. We will not:
(a) charge you interest on a negative balance;
(b) charge your payment card or debit any account of yours;
(c) recover an amount that arose from our own error where you received it in good faith and could not reasonably have noticed it.
14.5 After 180 days, any unrecovered negative balance from ordinary commercial causes (a duplicate or a manifest error) is written off by us and you owe nothing. We reserve the right to pursue repayment beyond that period only where the negative balance arose from fraud under section 11.
14.6 A negative balance is shown on your balance page with its cause and its expiry date.
15. If you disagree with a number
In plain words: you have 30 days from when an entry appears in your ledger. We answer in 10 business days. Silence from you means the entry stands.
15.1 Raise a dispute from your account, or by email to hello@clipbeep.com, within 30 calendar days of the entry appearing in your ledger. Tell us the entry, the amount you expected, and why.
15.2 If you do not raise it within 30 days, the entry is treated as accepted. This does not affect any right you have under mandatory law.
15.3 We answer in writing within 10 business days, with the reason for the outcome and the data we relied on.
15.4 We may extend to 45 business days where the answer depends on a third party (a card issuer, our acquirer, our payout partner, or the brand's payment processor). We will tell you before the first 10 days are up, and say who we are waiting for.
15.5 Our ledger prevails absent manifest error (section 8.5). Our decision on a dispute is our position, not a judgment. It does not stop you going to court, or to any authority you are entitled to use.
15.6 Limitation. Any claim arising out of these Terms must be brought within one year of the date the claim arose, except where mandatory law gives you longer, in which case the mandatory period applies.
16. Public campaign pages and your Links page
In plain words: our public pages show brands and their offers, never what you earn.
16.1 Our public campaign pages and your Links page (4.10) show the brand, its offer and the campaign. By joining a campaign, you agree that we may show your public handle and the clips you submitted to it on those pages while the campaign runs. These pages never show what you earned, your balance or your payouts: your earnings appear only in your own account (8.5).
17. Working around clipbeep
In plain words: if you worked on a brand's campaign through us, do not work for that brand directly for 12 months. We hold brands to a matching rule.
17.1 For 12 months from the date you join a campaign we run for a given brand, you agree not to work for that brand directly instead of through us: no arranging paid clipping work for that brand, or any company in its group, outside clipbeep, and no accepting payment from them outside clipbeep for work of the kind clipbeep provides.
17.2 This runs both ways. Brands are bound by a corresponding non-circumvention obligation under their own, separate terms with us (section 16.4 of our Terms of Service for Brands), which carries its own compensation, and we will enforce it as readily against a brand as against you. Nothing in it changes what you owe under 17.4.
17.3 It is not a ban on working. It does not apply where you already had a documented relationship with that brand before joining the campaign, where the brand's work is of a kind clipbeep does not offer, or where we have given written consent, which we will not unreasonably refuse.
17.4 If it is breached, we void the accruals tied to the deal that bypassed us and may close your account under 19.2. We do not charge you a fixed sum.
18. Campaign end, kill switch, and what happens to your money
In plain words: a campaign can stop at any time. Everything you have already earned is yours. While a campaign is paused or after it closes, your links stop sending visitors to the brand.
18.1 We can pause or close a campaign at any time, including when the brand that bought it asks us to. When we do, you get an immediate notification by email and a banner in your account.
18.2 New accruals stop at the moment of closure. No new posts, no new views paid, no new clicks counted.
18.3 Clicks that already happened still count. A sale from a click made before closure is still paid to you, if it lands within the campaign's attribution window and no later than 30 days from the date of the pause or closure, whichever comes first.
18.4 Accrued is untouchable. Money you have already earned cannot be taken back because a brand closes a campaign, changes its mind, or is unhappy with the results. The only routes back are section 12 (the result was not real) and section 14 (recovery after payment). Closing a dormant account under 20.2 is not taking money back: we pay the balance out, and if that payout fails, it can be reinstated under 20.4.
18.5 Your links. A tracked link sends visitors to the brand's product while the campaign runs; while the campaign is paused or after it closes, the link stops.
18.6 Pauses. Whenever a campaign pauses, for whatever reason, every clipper in it gets a notice in the app, their tracked links stop sending visitors to the brand's product, and the campaign's card leaves their Links page; when the campaign resumes (the brand resumes it, or a top-up ends a pause for an exhausted budget), the links work again. What happens to sales during the pause depends on who paused it. Where the brand pauses a campaign, a sale from a click made before the pause is paid to you exactly as section 18.3 provides for the closing tail. Where we pause a campaign, or it pauses by itself (for example because its budget ran out, after a chargeback or during our review), nothing accrues while it is paused: a sale made during the pause is recorded but is not charged to the brand and not paid to you, and it is not paid retroactively when the campaign resumes.
18.7 Termination for fraud is the exception. Where we terminate your account under section 11 for fraud, accruals attached to the fraudulent activity are voided under section 12, with the reason given in writing. Accruals unconnected to it are paid.
19. Suspension, restriction, and closing your account
In plain words: we can restrict or close an account, but we have to tell you why, in writing, and you can appeal.
19.1 You can leave any time. Close your account from your profile. We pay out any cleared balance in the next batch, even if it is below the minimum, and hold anything still clearing until it clears.
19.2 We may restrict, suspend, or terminate your account where you breach these Terms, where section 11 applies, where the law or a payment partner requires it, or where we are compelled by a court or authority.
19.3 Statement of reasons. Whenever we restrict, suspend, or terminate, we give you a written statement of the specific reasons, on a durable medium, at the time it takes effect, unless a legal prohibition stops us. The statement names the facts and the clause we relied on.
19.4 Notice before termination. Where we terminate your account other than for fraud, an illegality, a payment partner requirement, a repeated breach, or a confirmed circumvention under section 17, we give you 30 days' notice first. In every case you get the statement of reasons under 19.3 and can appeal under 19.5.
19.5 Appeal. You can appeal a confirmed strike, the closure of your account or any other decision about you within 30 days, by replying to the statement of reasons or the decision, or by writing to hello@clipbeep.com. A person at clipbeep reviews the decision afresh, with the evidence and your reply, and answers in writing, with reasons, within 10 business days. Wherever possible, that person is not the one who took the original decision. While only one person at clipbeep can take these decisions, our founder reviews the appeal personally and looks at the case afresh, and we tell you so in the answer. This internal route is free. It does not affect your right to use an out-of-court dispute settlement body or to go to court.
19.6 Where we lift a restriction we imposed in error, we restore your accruals and say so.
19.7 Three strikes. Three strikes confirmed under 13.9 within any rolling 12 months are a repeated breach, and a person at clipbeep then decides whether to terminate the account under 19.2; the account never closes automatically. You get the statement of reasons under 19.3 and the appeal under 19.5. The termination does not void accruals on compliant posts: what has cleared is paid in the next batch, even if it is below the minimum, and what is still clearing is paid when it clears. Your standing (strikes in the last 12 months and open warnings) is shown on your account at all times, so this is never a surprise.
19.8 Automated monitoring and automated decisions. We use automated systems to run clipbeep, and this is how:
(a) What we monitor automatically. The posts you submit and their public metrics (views, publish date, and whether the post is still public), clicks and sales through your tracked links and promo codes, your submissions against the campaign card (including the disclosure confirmation in 5.7), and signals of the kinds of fraud listed in section 11, such as unusual view patterns, duplicate content, and the refund or chargeback rate in 11.2. We do this to count and pay your results, to check compliance with the campaign rules, and to detect fraud. Our own team sees the results, and the brand that bought a campaign sees the results for that campaign.
(b) What automated systems decide or support. Whether a view or sale is counted and attributed to you (section 8), whether an accrual is held for review (section 13), flags for possible fraud (section 11), and, where our pricing model sets it, the rate we offer within the bands in 3.5. The factors that matter most are the ones named in those sections; for rates, they are listed in 3.5.
(c) What a person always decides. A person at clipbeep makes or confirms every decision to restrict, suspend or close your account (this section 19, including after a third strike under 19.7, where closure is never automatic), to confirm a strike (13.9), to void an accrual under 12.1(b), (c), (e) or (f), or to recover an amount already paid to you (section 14).
(d) What we never do. We do not use automated systems to process data about your emotional or psychological state, your private messages or conversations, anything you do while you are not working on clipbeep, or your trade union or collective activity, and we use biometric data only for the one-to-one selfie check in 9.8, with your explicit consent, and never to search for you among other people's faces.
(e) Your rights. You can ask us at any time to explain a decision that an automated system took or supported and that affects you, and to discuss it with a person. A person reviews it and replies in writing within 10 business days, as in 19.5. Where the decision was wrong, we correct it and restore what it affected. We tell you before we make a significant change to these systems.
19.9 Reporting illegal content (notice and action). This is our notice-and-action channel under Article 16 of the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065). Anyone, with or without a clipbeep account and free of charge, can tell us about content on clipbeep they believe is illegal, including campaign briefs, destination links, and clips or posts submitted to campaigns. Reports go through the reporting form at https://clipbeep.com/report or to hello@clipbeep.com. A report should include: an explanation of why the content is illegal; the exact URL or other location of the content; the name and email address of the person reporting, which is not needed for reports of child sexual abuse material; and a statement that the person believes in good faith that the report is accurate and complete. We confirm receipt without undue delay. We review each report diligently, objectively and in a timely way, and tell the person who reported it what we decided and how they can challenge the decision. Where we use automated tools to process or decide on a report, we say so. The reporting form is linked from every page of clipbeep, works by electronic means only, and can be used without logging in. If someone frequently submits reports that are manifestly unfounded, we may, after a warning, stop processing their reports for a reasonable period (Article 23 of the Digital Services Act).
19.10 If we remove or restrict your content or account because of such a report, you receive a written statement of reasons under 19.3 and can appeal under 19.5. A report about illegal content is separate from a brand's warning or strike request under section 13, which deal with breaches of campaign rules.
19.11 Points of contact. hello@clipbeep.com is our single point of contact for users and for the authorities of EU member states, the European Commission and the European Board for Digital Services. We communicate with users in English, and with authorities in English and Estonian. Where we become aware of information that gives rise to a suspicion that a criminal offence involving a threat to a person's life or safety has taken place, is taking place or is likely to take place, we promptly inform the relevant law enforcement or judicial authorities.
20. Dormant balances
In plain words: if you disappear for two years with less than the $20 minimum sitting there, we close the account and pay the balance out to you. Above the minimum, it goes out in the ordinary weekly batches.
20.1 A balance at or above the $20 minimum is paid out in the ordinary batch cycle. We do not sit on payable money waiting for you to ask, and there is no request to make.
20.2 A balance below the $20 minimum is not paid out in the ordinary batch cycle, but it is paid out when your account closes. Where an account has had no activity for 24 consecutive months and holds such a balance, we send you two notices to your registered email, at least 30 days apart. If neither is answered, we close the account and pay the balance out in the next batch. If that payout fails, we keep the amount on our records and 20.4 applies.
20.3 Activity means logging in, joining a campaign, posting, or earning.
20.4 If you come back after that and the amount can be reconstructed from our records, we will reinstate it. We would rather look silly than keep dust that is yours.
21. Our liability
In plain words: we are liable, with a cap. The cap does not apply where we acted deliberately or with gross negligence.
21.1 We provide clipbeep with reasonable skill and care, but we do not warrant that campaigns will earn you money, that a platform's API will keep working, or that the service will be uninterrupted.
21.2 Cap. Our total liability to you for all claims arising in any 12-month period is capped at the greater of (a) the total amounts we paid you and received from you in the 12 months before the event, and (b) $500.
21.3 The cap does not apply to liability for intentional breach, for gross negligence, for death or personal injury, or to anything that cannot be limited under mandatory law.
21.4 We are not liable for the acts of a brand, for a platform removing your post or your account, or for a payment partner's holds and decisions, beyond passing on what we know and doing what we reasonably can.
22. Changes to these Terms
In plain words: 15 days' notice before anything changes. Keep using clipbeep and that counts as accepting.
22.1 We give at least 15 days' notice by email and in-product before a change to these Terms takes effect. Where a change is required by law or is needed to address a security or fraud risk, it can take effect sooner, and we will say why.
22.2 Continued use of clipbeep after the notice period counts as acceptance. When we change these Terms materially, the product will ask you to confirm the new version before you join a campaign, mint a link, or submit again, and will record that confirmation. We record which version you accepted and when. If you do not accept, close your account before the change takes effect, and we will pay out your cleared balance under section 19.1 on the old terms.
22.3 A change never applies retroactively to accruals already recorded.
23. Law and courts
In plain words: Estonian law and Estonian courts, because you use clipbeep as a business, not as a consumer.
23.1 These Terms are governed by the law of Estonia.
23.2 Disputes go to Harju County Court (Harju Maakohus) in Tallinn, Estonia.
23.3 You use clipbeep in the course of your own business as a self-employed creator or freelancer (section 2.12), not as a consumer, and you confirm this when you sign up. Section 23.2 therefore applies to every dispute between us, but it does not deprive you of any rule of law that cannot be excluded by agreement.
23.4 There is no arbitration clause in these Terms, and no waiver of collective redress.
24. The rest
24.1 Assignment. You may not transfer your account or your rights under these Terms. We may assign these Terms to a successor of our business, on notice to you, provided your rights are not reduced.
24.2 Severability. If a clause is invalid, the rest stands and the invalid clause is read down to the closest lawful meaning.
24.3 No waiver. Not enforcing something once does not mean giving it up.
24.4 Entire agreement. These Terms, the campaign cards for campaigns you join, the Privacy Policy, and the opt-ins you gave in the product are the whole agreement between us.
24.5 Language. These Terms are written in English. A translation is for convenience, and the English version governs.
24.6 Notices. We write to the email address on your account. You write to hello@clipbeep.com.
