Creator Role Schedule

Version: 0.1-draft
Effective Date: [PLACEHOLDER]

This Creator Role Schedule (the “Creator Schedule”) supplements the Master Platform Agreement and applies when the Organisation activates or uses the Creator role.

5.1 Creator Tiers

1. The Platform may support the following Creator tiers:
   1. Referral Partner — link/code attribution with minimal profile requirements;
   2. Verified Creator — verified public profile, identity signals, and additional trust features;
   3. Managed Creator — creators participating in campaigns, sponsorships, gifting, or negotiated collaborations.
2. FutureProof may change a Creator’s tier based on eligibility, documentation, policy compliance, performance, or programme participation.

5.2 Creator Profile and Social Information

1. The Creator shall provide accurate public profile and payout information.
2. The Creator represents and warrants that it controls, or is duly authorised to act for, any social accounts, websites, channels, or profiles it links to the Platform.
3. FutureProof may display public-facing creator profile information, verification badges, trust indicators, creator proof, and platform performance metrics in accordance with Platform rules.

5.3 Referral Attribution

1. Referral attribution is determined by FutureProof’s attribution systems, logs, and programme rules in effect at the time of the transaction.
2. FutureProof may consider links, codes, cookies, clicks, timestamps, campaign-specific rules, assisted conversions, buyer sessions, and fraud signals when determining attribution.
3. FutureProof’s records are prima facie evidence of attribution unless the Creator demonstrates a material error.

5.4 Commissions

1. Creator commissions, fees, or revenue share are governed by the Fee Schedule, programme rules, campaign documents, and this Schedule.
2. A commission is not earned until the underlying event qualifies under programme rules, which may include payment capture, fulfilment, return-expiry, delivery confirmation, or another stated milestone.
3. Commission amounts may be reversed or adjusted for:
   1. refunds or returns;
   2. chargebacks;
   3. cancelled orders;
   4. fraud, bot traffic, or invalid referrals;
   5. duplicate or misattributed conversions.

5.5 Disclosure and Advertising Compliance

1. The Creator shall clearly and conspicuously disclose any material connection with a Brand, Vendor, or FutureProof whenever required by Applicable Law or Platform policy.
2. The Creator shall not make false, misleading, unsubstantiated, or deceptive claims about a product, service, business, or performance outcome.
3. The Creator shall follow:
   1. applicable U.S. endorsement and advertising laws, including FTC disclosure principles for material connections;
   2. applicable Canadian deceptive-marketing laws, including disclosure of material connections where consumers could be misled as to independence or compensation.
4. The Creator acknowledges that disclosure obligations may apply even where the compensation is non-cash, including free product, discounts, travel, or other benefits.

5.6 Content Standards

The Creator shall not publish, submit, or cause to be published through or in connection with the Platform any content that:

1. is unlawful, defamatory, hateful, harassing, or infringing;
2. contains fake engagement, fabricated testimonials, manipulated metrics, or undisclosed AI-generated endorsements presented as genuine experience without appropriate context where required;
3. implies qualifications, testing, certifications, or product performance not actually supported;
4. misuses Brand assets or third-party rights.

5.7 Content Licences

1. The Creator retains ownership of creator content it submits, subject to the licences in this Section and any campaign brief or managed-services agreement.
2. The Creator grants FutureProof a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence during the Term to host, reproduce, display, distribute, reformat, and promote Creator content and creator proof on or in connection with the Platform.
3. Where the Creator participates in a specific campaign or accepts campaign terms granting a Brand usage rights, the Creator grants the applicable Brand the rights expressly set out in that campaign document and no broader rights unless stated there.
4. Any perpetual, paid-media, whitelisting, or edit rights for Brand reuse should be set out expressly in a campaign document and are otherwise [PLACEHOLDER limited to organic reposting and on-platform display].

5.8 Prohibited Conduct

The Creator shall not:

1. use bots, click farms, fake followers, purchased engagement, or traffic laundering;
2. self-deal, including making or coordinating sham purchases for commission generation;
3. misrepresent audience size, audience quality, or campaign performance;
4. impersonate another creator or misstate control of a social account;
5. divert a platform-introduced campaign or referral relationship off-platform to evade fees where a programme rule prohibits circumvention.

5.9 Creator Proof and Verification

1. FutureProof may maintain a creator-proof system showing content links, verification status, campaign outcomes, or other trust signals.
2. Verification is a platform trust designation only and is not an endorsement of the Creator’s conduct or legality.
3. FutureProof may revoke verification where the Creator fails to maintain eligibility or compliance.

5.10 Payouts

1. The Creator shall maintain a valid connected payout account and satisfy verification requirements.
2. Payouts are subject to the minimum withdrawal threshold of $50 CAD, reserves, holds, reversals, and payment processor rules.
3. FutureProof may offset refunds, chargebacks, disputes, or other amounts owed by the Creator against future payouts.

5.11 Campaigns and Collaborations

1. FutureProof may facilitate introductions, briefs, gifting, campaign tracking, and messaging between Creators and Brands.
2. Unless FutureProof is expressly named as a party in a campaign-specific agreement, the Brand and Creator remain responsible for the campaign deliverables, approvals, claims, and obligations between them.
3. Managed Creator campaigns may require separate campaign briefs, rate cards, statements of work, or order forms.

5.12 Intellectual Property Complaints and Takedowns

1. If FutureProof receives a good-faith complaint that Creator content infringes rights or violates policy, FutureProof may remove or restrict the content pending review.
2. The Creator shall reasonably cooperate in investigating complaints and may provide a counter-notice or response where appropriate.
3. Repeat infringement or repeated deceptive content may result in suspension or termination.

5.13 Suspension, Deactivation, and Appeals

1. FutureProof may suspend or deactivate a Creator for policy breaches, fraud, fake engagement, repeated disclosure failures, chargeback abuse, or other trust risks.
2. Where operationally feasible, FutureProof will provide a reason code or summary basis for the action.
3. The Creator may submit an appeal within 14 days of notice unless the account was terminated for illegality, sanctions, or extreme risk.
