1. Who we are and what this is
In plain words: clipbeep sells you results, not impressions of results. This document is the contract between your company and ours.
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 open a brand account, fund a deposit, or run a campaign on clipbeep ("you", "your", "the brand"). Our separate Terms of Service for Clippers govern the creator side. Our Privacy Policy forms part of these Terms.
1.3 clipbeep is a business-to-business service. You confirm you are acting for a business, not as a consumer, and that the person accepting these Terms is authorised to bind your company.
1.4 We are not your advertising agency and we do not warrant any commercial outcome. You set what you are willing to pay for a result, and the platform will not spend past it.
2. Opening an account
In plain words: real company, authorised signer, not a sanctioned party.
2.1 The individual creating the account must be at least 18 and authorised to enter into contracts for your company. We may ask for evidence of that authority and of the company's existence.
2.2 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 your company, its owners, and its directors are not sanctioned persons and that you are not acting for one.
2.3 You will give us accurate company details for invoicing, VAT treatment, and our onboarding checks, and will keep them current.
2.4 We may decline or close an account where our payment partners will not serve it, or where a country's fraud statistics make the risk unmanageable.
3. What clipbeep does with your money
In plain words: your deposit is your money, held by us, spent only on results you agreed to pay for. We are not a bank.
3.1 You fund a campaign by depositing money with us before the campaign goes live. Your deposit is held by us as client funds. It is recorded as our liability to you, not as our revenue, and it is not ours to spend.
3.2 Our revenue is the platform fee in section 5 and the subscription in section 5.4. Nothing else in the flow is our income.
3.3 When a clipper earns a result under your campaign, the corresponding amount moves from your deposit to that clipper's accrual, and our platform fee is recorded at the same moment. Every one of those movements is on your ledger with a timestamp.
3.4 We act as agent for the clipper in collecting the amounts your campaign owes, and as the party that pays the clipper.
3.5 We are not a bank, an e-money institution, or a payment institution, and we do not provide payment services to you. We hold and move funds only as an incident of running this marketplace. Deposits do not earn interest for you.
4. Deposits, top-ups, and getting your money back
In plain words: pre-fund, keep it topped up, and ask for the unspent part back any time. Thirty days to return it.
4.1 Pre-funding. A campaign only accepts clippers while it has funds behind it. This is the core of the product and we will not run a campaign on credit.
4.2 Top-ups. Keeping the deposit sufficient for the campaigns you have running is your responsibility. We show the runway in your cockpit and we warn you before it runs out.
4.3 Running out. If a campaign's funds are exhausted, the campaign pauses automatically. Clippers are notified immediately, and accruals already recorded are paid. A campaign that keeps stopping and starting because it was not topped up damages your standing with clippers, and we will say so plainly to you before it does.
4.4 Refund of unspent funds. You can ask for the unspent balance of your deposit back at any time. We return it to the source of payment where the payment rail allows, within 30 days of the request.
4.5 We may hold back from a refund only: amounts already accrued to clippers but not yet paid; amounts inside the clearing window; the platform fee already earned; amounts subject to an open dispute or an open chargeback; and any amount we are required to hold by law or by a payment partner. We will itemise anything held back.
4.6 Chargebacks on your own deposit. Disputing a deposit payment with your card issuer after clippers have already earned against it does not reverse their accruals. It creates a negative balance under section 13.
5. What we charge
In plain words: 15% of what a campaign pays out, plus $150 a month from your second month. Both are visible before you spend anything.
5.1 Platform fee: 15% of the gross amount your campaign pays for a result. It is recorded at the moment of the accrual, and it is itemised on every receipt and invoice.
5.2 The fee is charged against your deposit alongside the clipper's amount, so the total drawn from your deposit for a result is the result plus 15%.
5.3 A campaign cannot exceed the caps you set. If you set a maximum cost per result, the platform cannot spend past it. There is no mechanism in the product to overspend a cap.
5.4 Subscription. Your first 30 days on clipbeep are free. From day 31, launching new campaigns requires an active subscription of $150 per month. Campaigns already running keep running and keep paying out regardless of subscription status, and your access to your ledger, your receipts, and your deposit is never behind the subscription.
5.5 Taxes. Our prices are exclusive of VAT. Where you are a VAT-registered business in another EU member state, we invoice under the reverse charge mechanism and you account for VAT. Where you are outside the EU, our services are treated as an export. You are responsible for giving us a valid VAT number where you have one, and for any taxes in your own country.
6. Setting up a campaign
In plain words: the campaign card is the offer. Whatever you print there is what you owe.
6.1 You set the rates, the caps, the platforms, the content rules, the attribution window, and any approval requirements. The result is the campaign card, and it is the binding offer to every clipper who joins it.
6.2 A campaign must pay for something. Every campaign must carry at least a rate per sale (CPA) within a cap, or a rate per thousand verified views (CPM). Campaigns that pay for nothing cannot be published.
6.3 Attribution window. The default is 30 days from the click. You may set it anywhere between 7 and 90 days. The number you choose is printed on the campaign card, in days, before any clipper joins. You cannot shorten it retroactively for clicks already made.
6.4 Views. We pay for views only where an official platform data source lets us verify them. Where we have no verified source for a platform, views there are not paid and are not displayed. We will not show you or a clipper a number we have not checked.
6.5 Never say guaranteed. You may not describe clipbeep, or a campaign run on clipbeep, as delivering guaranteed views, guaranteed sales, or a guaranteed return. We sell verified measurement and a cap you control, and we will ask you to correct any material that says otherwise.
6.6 Changes to a live campaign apply from the moment they are published, never backwards. Rates, caps, and windows already in force for existing posts and existing clicks stay as they were.
7. What you owe the clippers
In plain words: they are working on your word. Honest product page, honest sales reporting, no moving the goalposts.
7.1 Honest product page. The destination URL you give us must be a real, working page for the product described in your campaign, in a language and market the campaign targets. No bait-and-switch destinations, no interstitials that break attribution, no redirect chains you did not disclose. Change the destination and tell us; do not repoint a live link at a different product.
7.2 Honest promo codes. Codes you issue for a campaign must be live, must apply the discount you advertised, and must not be simultaneously distributed through channels that would take credit away from clippers.
7.3 Honest sales reporting. You will report attributed sales to us accurately and promptly through the integration or webhook we agree, and you will not suppress, delay, misclassify, or under-report a sale to reduce what your campaign owes. Deliberate under-reporting is a fundamental breach of these Terms.
7.4 No retroactive changes. You will not reduce a rate, tighten a cap, narrow an attribution window, or add a condition, and apply it to results already earned.
7.5 No closing a campaign to avoid paying. You can pause or close a campaign at any time for any commercial reason. You may not do it in order to escape accruals that have already arisen or that are about to arise from clicks already made. Doing so is a breach of these Terms, and we will pay the affected clippers out of your deposit regardless.
7.6 Your own refunds and chargebacks. You are responsible for the quality of your product, your fulfilment, your customer service, and your own refund and chargeback rate. A refund that is genuinely yours reverses the accrual under section 12; a pattern of refunds that looks like a way to avoid paying clippers is treated under section 7.5.
7.7 Top up on time. See section 4.2. Clippers plan work around your campaign, and a campaign that dies mid-week because a deposit was not topped up costs them real money.
7.8 Do not ask a clipper to hide the ad. See section 9.
7.9 Do not contact clippers to move the deal off-platform. See section 16.
8. What you cannot advertise here
In plain words: some categories are off the table, permanently.
8.1 We do not accept, as brands or as campaign destinations: gambling, casinos, betting, and crypto-casinos of any kind; adult content; weapons; tobacco, vapes, and nicotine products; illegal drugs and unapproved pharmaceuticals; get-rich-quick, binary options, and signal-selling schemes; anything requiring a financial services or insurance licence you do not hold; anything unlawful in the markets the campaign targets.
8.2 We may add categories to this list under section 19, and we may refuse or remove a campaign that falls in one of them, including after it goes live.
8.3 Products aimed at children, and campaigns that would be shown mainly to under-18 audiences, need our written agreement first.
8.4 Your product must comply with consumer law in the markets you target, including subscription and cancellation rules. Dark-pattern subscription flows are a ground for removal.
9. Advertising disclosure
In plain words: every post under your campaign is advertising and has to say so. You carry that duty too, not only the clipper.
9.1 Clippers are contractually required to disclose that a post is paid, in words, in the post itself, under section 5 of the clipper terms. Both the endorser and the advertiser carry responsibility for this under the US FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) and under EU unfair commercial practices rules.
9.2 You will not ask, incentivise, or instruct a clipper to remove, weaken, bury, or omit a disclosure, and you will not make disclosure a reason to reject a post or withhold a result. If we see it, we treat it as a breach of these Terms.
9.3 When you edit or repost a clipper's clip under the licence in section 11, you must preserve the disclosure.
9.4 You are responsible for the truthfulness of the claims in your campaign brief. If your brief tells clippers to say something about your product, that claim is yours, and you will indemnify us against claims arising from it.
10. Pausing, closing, and the kill switch
In plain words: stop whenever you want. Stopping does not take back what clippers already earned, and their links keep working.
10.1 You can pause or close a campaign at any time, from your cockpit, without asking us.
10.2 New accruals stop immediately at closure. Clippers are notified at once by email and in-product.
10.3 Clicks made before closure still count. A sale from a pre-closure click is still payable if it lands within the campaign's attribution window and no later than 30 days after the closure date, whichever comes first. You must leave enough deposit to cover that tail, and we will hold it back from a refund under section 4.5.
10.4 Accrued is untouchable. Amounts already accrued to clippers are not recoverable by closing a campaign, by disputing the results after the fact, or by being unhappy with the outcome. The only routes are section 12 (the result was not real) and section 13 (recovery after payment).
10.5 Links keep redirecting. Tracked links minted under your campaign continue to redirect to your product page after the campaign ends. This is a promise we made to clippers and it is separate from whether the link still earns. If you need a link retired because the destination is gone, tell us and we will point it at a page you nominate.
10.6 We may pause a campaign ourselves where a deposit is exhausted, a payment fails, a legal or safety issue arises, or section 8 applies. We tell you why, in writing, at the time.
11. The licence you get to a clipper's content
In plain words: they own the clip. You get a limited licence to their post. Paid ads need a separate yes, every time.
11.1 The clipper owns their content. Nothing here transfers copyright to you.
11.2 What you get for each campaign a clipper joins, at no extra cost: a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to view, share, and link to the post as published, and to repost or re-upload the clip on channels you own or control (your own social accounts, your website, your app, your email, internal decks).
11.3 Term: the campaign period plus 90 days after the campaign ends.
11.4 Editing: trimming, cropping to platform aspect ratios, captions and subtitles, and your own branding. You may not distort, misrepresent, or omit the substantive message of the clip, remove the clipper's watermark or handle where visible, or remove or obscure the advertising disclosure.
11.5 Not included: television, OTT, CTV, cinema, out-of-home, or any offline placement; any paid media spend; sublicensing to anyone other than your own agency acting for you and bound by these limits; using the clip after the licence expires; using the clipper's name, handle, voice, or likeness as an endorsement outside the post itself.
11.6 Paid amplification is a separate, per-campaign opt-in from the clipper. Whitelisting, Spark Ads, Partnership Ads, boosting, or any paid media use of the post or of the clipper's handle requires that clipper's explicit opt-in for that campaign. Default duration 30 days, extendable in 30-day blocks, each block a fresh opt-in, and no more than 180 days in total without a new opt-in given after that period.
11.7 Music and third-party rights. Platform music libraries usually licence trending tracks for organic use only, not for paid media. You may not run paid amplification on a post unless the clipper has confirmed, in the opt-in step, that the audio and other third-party material is cleared for paid use. Running paid spend over an unconfirmed post is your breach and your liability.
11.8 After a licence expires, the clipper's original organic post may stay live on their account. From that point you must not pin it, repost it, link to it in advertising, boost it with paid spend, or otherwise promote it.
11.9 A clipper may decline an amplification request. That is not a performance issue and you may not penalise them for it.
12. Verification, fraud, and voided results
In plain words: we hunt fraud on your behalf, against a published list, and a fake result never becomes a real charge to you.
12.1 Section 11 of the clipper terms sets out, as a list, what counts as fraud: bots and view inflation, click farms, self-purchases and purchases by household members, VPN and geo-spoofing, incentivised traffic, cookie stuffing and forced clicks, duplicate posting, posting from accounts the clipper does not control, trademark bidding and impersonation, false identity data, and repeated disclosure breaches. We publish that list rather than reserving a discretion, so that you know what we screen for and clippers know what they are accused of.
12.2 A voided result is not charged to you. Where a result is found not to be genuine before payout, the accrual is voided, and the amount plus the platform fee returns to your deposit.
12.3 Reporting suspected fraud. Tell us through your cockpit or at hello@clipbeep.com, with the evidence you have. We open a review, and we may place a hold of up to 30 days, extendable once to 90 days where we are waiting on a card issuer or a payment partner. The clipper gets a written statement of the reason, as they are entitled to. We do not freeze a clipper on an unevidenced accusation, and we will tell you when we decline to.
12.4 We flag brands too. Under-reporting sales, retroactive changes, and closing campaigns to dodge accruals are treated with the same seriousness as clipper-side fraud, and are grounds for suspension under section 18.
12.5 Payment rail holds. Our card acquirer and payout partner may apply rolling reserves and holds to our accounts. In this industry acquirer reserves are commonly between 5% and 20% of volume held for 90 to 180 days. Where such a hold affects the timing of a refund of your deposit, we will tell you it is a payment partner hold and what we know about it. We cannot override it.
13. Refunds, chargebacks, and a negative deposit balance
In plain words: if your deposit goes negative, you top it up. Unlike clippers, you are a business and interest applies.
13.1 A refund or chargeback on a sale that was already paid out to a clipper, a reversal of your deposit payment, or a manifest error in your favour creates a negative balance on your account.
13.2 You will restore a negative balance within 14 days of our written notice. We may also set it off against any other deposit or credit you hold with us.
13.3 Statutory late payment interest under Estonian law applies to a negative balance that is not restored on time, from the due date. This is the deliberate difference from the clipper terms, where we charge no interest at all.
13.4 Campaigns are paused while a negative balance is outstanding.
13.5 Where the negative balance arose from our own error, none of this applies and we fix it at our cost.
14. The ledger, and disagreeing with a number
In plain words: our records are the record. Thirty days to challenge an entry, ten business days for us to answer.
14.1 The ledger of record. Our records (clicks, post links, sales, accruals, fees, payouts) are the record of what happened between us, and they prevail unless there is a manifest error, meaning a demonstrable mistake such as a duplicate entry, a missing webhook, a wrong rate, or a rounding or currency fault. We correct manifest errors in both directions, including against ourselves.
14.2 Raise a dispute within 30 calendar days of the entry appearing in your ledger, from your cockpit or at hello@clipbeep.com, identifying the entry and the reason. After 30 days the entry is treated as accepted.
14.3 We answer in writing within 10 business days, with the reason and the data relied on. We may extend to 45 business days where the answer depends on a card issuer, an acquirer, a payout partner, or your own payment processor, and we will tell you before the first 10 days are up.
14.4 Our answer is our position. It does not prevent you from going to court.
14.5 Limitation. Any claim arising out of these Terms must be brought within one year of the date the claim arose.
14.6 All amounts are recorded in whole US cents.
15. The public ledger
In plain words: your money movement is public by default. That is the deal that makes clippers trust the marketplace, and it is why they show up.
15.1 We publish, by default and without further notice: your campaign rates and caps, the deposit and spend movement on your campaigns, the platform fee taken, refunds, and campaign-level and platform-level aggregates such as total paid out and number of clippers paid.
15.2 You are a company, and this is company financial activity, not personal data. If your business genuinely cannot have a campaign's spend public, tell us before you launch it and we will discuss it. We will not agree to it silently, because opacity on the brand side is the thing this platform exists to remove.
15.3 We do not publish a clipper's handle next to an amount unless that clipper has separately opted in. You will not attempt to reconstruct, publish, or re-identify individual clipper earnings from aggregates, from your campaign data, or from any other source.
15.4 We do not publish your customer data, your product economics, your conversion rates, or anything you send us in confidence.
16. Working around clipbeep
In plain words: if you met a clipper here, keep the deal here for 12 months. The same rule binds them.
16.1 For 12 months from the date a clipper joins one of your campaigns, you agree not to engage that clipper, directly or through any company in your group or any agency acting for you, for paid clipping work of the kind clipbeep facilitates, outside clipbeep.
16.2 This is symmetrical. The identical obligation is on the clipper in our Terms of Service for Clippers.
16.3 It does not apply where you had a documented relationship with that creator before they joined your campaign, where the work is of a kind clipbeep does not offer, or where we have given written consent, which we will not unreasonably refuse.
16.4 If it is breached, the party who broke it owes clipbeep compensation equal to the greater of $2,500 and 15% of the value of the circumvented arrangements over 12 months. This is an agreed estimate of our loss, which scales with the volume that bypassed us. A court may reduce it if it proves unreasonably high.
17. Data protection between us
In plain words: we each control the data we hold. You do not get to reuse clipper data for anything except this campaign.
17.1 clipbeep is the controller of the personal data it processes to run the platform, including clipper account data, click and sale records, and the public ledger. Our Privacy Policy describes that processing.
17.2 When you receive personal data from clipbeep (for example a clipper's handle, their post links, and the performance attached to them) you act as an independent controller of that data for your own purposes. We are not joint controllers and neither of us processes on the other's instructions.
17.3 You will: use clipper personal data only for running and evaluating the campaign it came from; not sell it, not add it to a marketing list, not use it to train a model, and not combine it with other sources to build a profile; keep it no longer than you need it for that campaign and its accounting; and comply with the GDPR in your own right.
17.4 Where you send us personal data of your own customers (for example in sale postbacks), you confirm you have a lawful basis to do so and that your own privacy notice covers it. For that narrow flow we act as your processor, and a data processing agreement applies.
17.5 If either of us suffers a personal data breach affecting the other's data, we tell the other without undue delay and cooperate on notification.
18. Restriction, suspension, and termination
In plain words: we can stop your campaigns, but we have to tell you why in writing, and you can appeal.
18.1 You can leave any time. Close your account from your cockpit. We settle accrued amounts to clippers, close the tail under section 10.3, and return the unspent balance under section 4.4.
18.2 We may restrict, suspend, or terminate your account or a campaign where you breach these Terms, where section 8 applies, where you have an unrestored negative balance, where a payment partner or the law requires it, or where we are compelled by a court or authority.
18.3 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 the decision takes effect, naming the facts and the clause relied on. Where we restrict or suspend, we give it at the latest when the decision takes effect; where we terminate, we give it at least 30 days before, unless the law, a payment partner requirement, a repeated breach, or a fraud finding means we cannot.
18.4 Complaints. Reply to the statement of reasons, or write to hello@clipbeep.com. We handle complaints about our decisions internally, free of charge, and answer within 10 business days with reasons. If that does not resolve it, we are willing to attempt mediation in good faith with a mediator we agree on.
18.5 We are a small enterprise, and we believe the exemptions in Regulation (EU) 2019/1150 for enterprises with fewer than 50 staff and under EUR 10 million turnover currently apply to the formal internal complaint-handling system and the duty to name two mediators. We are running the process in 18.4 regardless, because it is the right way to behave, and we will publish named mediators when we cross the threshold.
19. Changes to these Terms
In plain words: 15 days' notice before anything changes.
19.1 We give at least 15 days' notice by email and in-product before a change takes effect, as required by Regulation (EU) 2019/1150. 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.
19.2 Continued use after the notice period counts as acceptance. If you do not accept, close your account before the change takes effect and section 18.1 applies on the old terms.
19.3 Changes never apply retroactively to accruals, rates, or attribution windows already in force.
20. Liability
In plain words: we are liable, with a cap. The cap does not cover deliberate or grossly negligent conduct on our side.
20.1 We provide clipbeep with reasonable skill and care. We do not warrant any commercial result, any level of clipper participation, uninterrupted service, or the continued availability of any third-party platform API.
20.2 We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of clippers beyond enforcing these Terms and the clipper terms, for a social platform removing a post, or for a payment partner's holds and decisions.
20.3 Cap. Our total liability to you for all claims arising in any 12-month period is capped at the greater of (a) the total fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event, and (b) $500. Your deposit is your money and is not part of this cap: a claim to have your own unspent deposit returned is not limited by this section.
20.4 The cap does not apply to liability for intentional breach, gross negligence, death or personal injury, or anything that cannot be limited under mandatory law.
20.5 Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, or goodwill, except where the exclusion is not permitted by law.
20.6 Indemnity. You will indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your product, your campaign brief and the claims it instructs clippers to make, your destination page, your own breach of section 8 or section 9, and your use of clipper content outside the licence in section 11.
21. Law and courts
In plain words: Estonian law, Estonian courts.
21.1 These Terms are governed by the law of Estonia.
21.2 Disputes go to Harju County Court (Harju Maakohus) in Tallinn, Estonia.
21.3 There is no arbitration clause and no waiver of collective redress in these Terms.
22. The rest
22.1 Assignment. You may not transfer your account or these Terms without our written consent. We may assign to a successor of our business on notice.
22.2 Confidentiality. Each side keeps the other's non-public commercial information confidential and uses it only for this relationship. Our published ledger data under section 15 is not confidential.
22.3 Severability. If a clause is invalid, the rest stands and the invalid clause is read down to the closest lawful meaning.
22.4 No waiver. Not enforcing something once does not mean giving it up.
22.5 Entire agreement. These Terms, your campaign cards, any order form or insertion order we sign with you, the Privacy Policy, and the data processing agreement are the whole agreement. Your purchase order terms do not apply.
22.6 Force majeure. Neither side is liable for delay caused by events outside its reasonable control. This never excuses a failure to return deposited funds.
22.7 Language. These Terms are written in English and the English version governs.
22.8 Notices. We write to the email addresses on your account. You write to hello@clipbeep.com.
