3. Eligibility and accounts
3.1 You must be at least 18 years old, or the legal age for gambling-related activity in your jurisdiction if higher, to use the Platform.
3.2 Operators must hold, and on request provide evidence of, all licences required to offer and promote gambling services in each market they target. We may verify licences before granting access and may restrict Operators to markets where they are licensed.
3.3 You must provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information, including channel statistics, audience data and company details. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping your login details secure.
3.4 We may approve, reject or remove any profile at our discretion, including where we cannot verify identity, statistics or licences.
4. Role of the Platform
4.1 SinfluenceMe provides a marketplace where Operators and Creators can find each other, communicate and agree Engagements. Unless expressly stated, we are not a party to Engagements, not an agent or employer of any User, and do not guarantee the results, quality or legality of any campaign.
4.2 Each Engagement is a contract between the Operator and the Creator. They are solely responsible for agreeing its terms and for complying with it and with all applicable laws.
4.3 Where the Platform offers payment protection or escrow, we (or our payment partner) hold and release funds only in line with the payment terms shown at the time of the Engagement.
5. Creator obligations
Creators agree to:
Provide truthful statistics and not use bots, purchased followers, fake viewers or any method to inflate audience or engagement.
Promote only Operators licensed for the markets their content targets, and follow each market's advertising rules, including 18+ and responsible-gambling notices.
Clearly disclose paid partnerships as required by law and platform rules (e.g. "#ad", "sponsored").
Not target, appeal to or feature persons under 18, and remove content if asked by us or the Operator for compliance reasons.
Not make false or misleading claims about bonuses, odds or winnings.
Deliver agreed work on time and as described in the Engagement.
Be responsible for their own taxes, social contributions and invoicing.
6. Operator obligations
Operators agree to:
Hold valid licences for every market they ask Creators to promote in, and only request promotion in those markets.
Provide accurate Briefs, including markets, required disclaimers and any restrictions.
Pay Creators in full and on time as agreed, and report conversions (registrations, FTDs, revenue) honestly where compensation depends on them.
Not request content that breaches law, platform rules or these Terms.
Keep Creator data received through the Platform confidential and use it only to evaluate and run Engagements through the Platform.
7. Fees and payments
7.1 Creator commission. We charge Creators a commission of 10% of the Deal Value of each Engagement paid through the Platform, deducted before payout.
7.2 Founding Creators. Creators accepted into the Founding Creator programme pay 0% commission for the first 6 months from approval, and 7% thereafter for as long as their account remains active and in good standing.
7.3 Operator plans. Operators may use the Platform on the plans published on our pricing page, currently:
| Plan | Monthly fee | Booking fee on Deal Value |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | €0 | 10% |
| Pro | €499 | 5% |
| Enterprise | from €1,499 | 3% |
Booking fees are added on top of the Creator's price and paid by the Operator.
7.4 Billing. Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance, renew automatically, and can be cancelled before the next billing date. Fees already paid are non-refundable unless required by law.
7.5 Taxes. Fees exclude VAT and other applicable taxes, which will be added where required.
7.6 Payment protection. Where available, Operators fund an Engagement before work starts, and funds are released to the Creator on delivery or as agreed in the Engagement. Disputes are handled under our dispute process published on the Platform.
7.7 Price changes. We may change fees with at least 30 days' notice. Changes do not affect Engagements already agreed.
8. Non-circumvention
8.1 Why this exists. SinfluenceMe invests in finding, verifying and introducing Creators and Operators, and earns its fees only on Engagements made through the Platform. This Section protects that investment.
8.2 Obligation. For 12 months from the later of (a) the first Introduction between an Operator and a Creator, or (b) the end of their most recent Engagement through the Platform (the "Non-Circumvention Period"), neither the Operator nor the Creator will, directly or indirectly, agree, perform or pay for any Engagement between them outside the Platform.
8.3 Indirect circumvention includes acting through an affiliate, group company, brand, agency, manager, sub-affiliate or any other third party; moving negotiations to email, Telegram, WhatsApp or other channels to avoid fees; and asking or encouraging the other party to deal off-platform.
8.4 Direct Engagement option. An Operator who wishes to work with a Creator outside the Platform during the Non-Circumvention Period may do so lawfully by notifying us in writing and paying a Direct Engagement Fee equal to the greater of (a) 20% of the total Deal Value paid to that Creator outside the Platform during the Non-Circumvention Period, or (b) €2,500 per Creator.
8.5 Breach. If an Operator circumvents the Platform without paying the Direct Engagement Fee, the Operator must pay that fee on demand, and we may suspend or terminate its account. The parties agree the fee is a genuine pre-estimate of the commissions and booking fees SinfluenceMe would have earned and of its costs of introduction, and is not a penalty.
8.6 Creators. A Creator who knowingly takes part in circumvention may lose Founding Creator status, have their Sin Score reduced, and have their account suspended or terminated. A Creator who reports an off-platform approach from an Operator in good faith will not be penalised.
8.7 Information and audit. Where we reasonably suspect circumvention, the Operator must, on request and within 14 days, confirm in writing whether it has engaged the Creator outside the Platform and provide records of payments made to that Creator during the Non-Circumvention Period.
8.8 Exceptions. This Section does not apply where the Operator can show with written evidence that it had an existing commercial relationship with the Creator before the first Introduction. Operators should declare such relationships to us when first contacting the Creator.
8.9 This Section survives termination of your account for the remainder of the Non-Circumvention Period.
9. Content and intellectual property
9.1 The Platform, its software, design, the SinfluenceMe name, logos and the Sin Score methodology belong to Cultholic Ltd. You may not copy, scrape, resell or reverse-engineer any part of the Platform or its data.
9.2 You keep ownership of the content you upload (profile information, images, media kits). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display and use it to operate and promote the Platform, including showing your public profile to Operators.
9.3 Rights in campaign content created under an Engagement are agreed between the Operator and the Creator.
9.4 You confirm you have all rights needed for content you upload and that it does not infringe anyone's rights.
10. Sin Score, statistics and data
10.1 The Sin Score is our opinion of a Creator's profile, based on information available to us, such as verified statistics, completed Engagements, reviews and compliance record. It is not a guarantee of future performance.
10.2 We may calculate, change or reset Sin Scores and verification badges at our discretion, including where we detect fake engagement or circumvention.
10.3 Statistics shown on the Platform may come from Users or third-party platforms. We take reasonable steps to verify them but do not guarantee their accuracy. Operators should make their own assessment before entering an Engagement.
10.4 We may use tracking links, promo codes, stream overlays and conversion data to measure Engagements, calculate fees and detect circumvention.
11. Compliance and responsible gambling
11.1 Each User is responsible for complying with all laws, regulations and regulator guidance that apply to them, including gambling advertising rules in every market where content is shown.
11.2 We may require disclaimers, age gates or market restrictions, and may remove Briefs, content or profiles that we believe create legal, regulatory or reputational risk.
11.3 SinfluenceMe supports responsible gambling. Content must never encourage excessive gambling, present gambling as a way to solve financial problems, or appeal to minors or vulnerable people.
12. Prohibited conduct
You must not:
Provide false information, impersonate anyone, or create multiple accounts to avoid restrictions.
Inflate statistics or use bots, fake viewers or fraudulent traffic.
Circumvent the Platform as described in Section 8.
Share contact details in messages before an Engagement is agreed, where the Platform restricts this.
Scrape, copy or export Creator or Operator data.
Harass, threaten or discriminate against other Users.
Upload malware or interfere with the Platform's security or operation.
Use the Platform for any unlicensed, illegal or fraudulent activity.
13. Suspension and termination
13.1 You may close your account at any time. Subscription fees for the current billing period are not refunded.
13.2 We may suspend, restrict or terminate your account, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if required by law or a regulator, or if we reasonably believe your use creates risk for us or other Users.
13.3 On termination, sums owed to us (including any Direct Engagement Fee) remain payable, and Sections 7, 8, 9, 14, 15 and 18 continue to apply.
14. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
14.1 The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any Engagement will produce a particular result.
14.2 We are not liable for the acts, omissions, content, payments or legal compliance of any User, or for disputes between Operators and Creators, except as expressly set out in our payment-protection terms.
14.3 To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill.
14.4 Our total liability to you in any 12-month period is limited to the fees you paid us in that period.
14.5 Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
15. Indemnity
You will indemnify Cultholic Ltd, its directors and staff against any claims, fines, losses and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your content or campaigns, your breach of any law or regulation, or any dispute between you and another User.
16. Privacy
We process personal data in line with our Privacy Policy and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Messages and activity on the Platform may be monitored to detect fraud, circumvention and compliance breaches.
17. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. We will notify you of material changes by email or on the Platform at least 30 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the Platform after that date means you accept the updated Terms. Each accepted version is recorded against your account.
18. Governing law and disputes
18.1 These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus.
18.2 The courts of Limassol, Cyprus, have exclusive jurisdiction, except that we may seek payment of fees or injunctive relief in the courts of the User's country.
18.3 Before starting proceedings, the parties will try in good faith to resolve the dispute by written notice and negotiation for 30 days.
19. General and contact
19.1 If any part of these Terms is found invalid, the rest remains in force. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your account or rights without our consent.
19.2 These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and pricing page, form the entire agreement between you and us about the Platform.
