Introduction

Welcome! We're excited that you're interested in Creator Subscriptions, which allows eligible creators to offer a subscription-only tier of access to their audience ("Programme"). These Creator Subscriptions Terms ("Terms") govern your participation in Creator Subscriptions and form a legally binding contract between you and Snap ("Snap", "we" or "us"). Please read them carefully.

Only users who accept and comply with these Creator Subscriptions Terms will be eligible to participate in the Programme.

For purposes of these Creator Subscriptions Terms, "Snap" means: 

  • Snap Inc., if you live in or your principal place of business is located in the United States;

  • Snap Camera India Private Limited, if you live in or your principal place of business is located in India;

  • Snap Group Limited Singapore Branch, if you live in or your principal place of business is located in the Asia-Pacific region (other than India); or

  • Snap Group Limited, if you live or your principal place of business is located anywhere else in the world.

These Terms incorporate by reference the Snap Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, Creator Monetisation Policy, Commercial Content Policy and any other applicable guidelines and policies. To the extent these Terms conflict with any other terms, these Terms will control in connection with your use of Creator Subscriptions.

Where we have provided summaries in these Creator Subscriptions Terms, we have done so for your convenience only. You should read these Creator Subscriptions Terms in full to understand your legal rights and obligations.

1. Minimum Eligibility

The Programme is open by invitation only. In order to be eligible for invitation and remain eligible in the Programme, you must meet the following minimum eligibility requirements ("Minimum Eligibility"):

  1. You must reside (if you are an individual), or have your principal place of business (if you are an entity), in an Eligible Region. Payouts are only available in the limited regions listed in the Creator Rewards Guidelines (the "Eligible Regions"). We may modify the list of Eligible Regions at our discretion.

  2. If you are an individual, you must be at least the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction (or, if applicable, at least 16 years old with parental consent). If parental or legal guardian consent(s) is required under applicable law, then you may only participate in the Programme under the supervision of your parent(s)/legal guardian(s), who must also agree to be bound by these Creator Subscription Terms. You represent and warrant that you have obtained all such consent(s) (including two-parent consent, if required in your jurisdiction).

  3. If you are acting on behalf of an entity, you must be at least 18 years old (or the legal age of majority in your state, province, or country) and have the authority to bind such entity. All references to "you" and "your" in these Creator Subscription Terms will mean both you as the end user and that entity.

  4. You must provide Snap, and its authorised third-party payment provider (“Payment Provider”), with accurate and up-to-date Contact Information (defined below), in addition to any other information that may be required to make payment to you. “Contact Information” as used herein shall mean your legal first and last name, email, phone number, province and country of residence, and any other information that may be required from time to time, so that Snap or its Payment Provider may contact you and cause payment to be made to you (or your parent/legal guardian(s) or business entity, if applicable) by its Payment Provider if you qualify for a payment hereunder, or in connection with any legal requirement.

  5. You must complete all requirements necessary to set up a valid payment account (“Payment Account”) with our Payment Provider.

  6. Your Snapchat account and Payment Account must be active, in good standing (as determined by us), and in compliance with these Creator Subscription Terms at all times.

  7. You (or your parent/guardian(s), as applicable) must pass Snap's and our Payment Provider's compliance review. 

  8. You are neither (i) an employee, officer, or director of Snap or its parent, subsidiaries, or affiliated companies; nor (ii) a government entity, subsidiary or affiliate of a government entity, or member of a royal family. 

We reserve the right to request any information necessary to verify that you meet the Minimum Eligibility requirements. Satisfaction of the Minimum Eligibility requirements does not guarantee you an invitation to, or your continued involvement in, the Programme. We reserve the right to remove any user from the Programme at any time for any reason.

In Summary: The Programme is invite only. You must meet certain minimum requirements to be eligible for invitation to the Programme. These include age, location, parental consent and certain account requirements. Meeting these requirements does not guarantee you an invitation to the Programme. You must provide us with truthful and up-to-date information, as well as comply with these Creator Subscription Terms at all times.

2. Qualifying Activity

If you meet the Minimum Eligibility requirements and are invited to the Programme, then Snap may reward you by paying you for performing the services described herein ("Qualifying Activity"). Any such payment ("Payment") may be funded from a portion of the proceeds we receive from Gross Revenue (defined below) in connection with the Programme.

Qualifying Activity may include:

  • Offering a Creator Subscription and posting Public Content through the Programme; or

  • Engaging in any other activity that we designate as Qualifying Activity, subject to your acceptance of any additional terms that we may require (which shall be incorporated into these Creator Subscription Terms).

Qualifying Activity will be determined by Snap in its discretion. “Public Content” shall have the meaning set forth in the Snap Terms of Service. Additionally, in order for the content you post to the Services to be eligible for algorithmic recommendation, it must comply with our Content Guidelines for Recommendation Eligibility. We may review your account and content for compliance with our terms and policies. For clarity, Snap will have the right, but not the obligation, to distribute the content you post to Snapchat in accordance with the Snap Terms of Service. You may delete your Snaps at any time. 

In Summary: We may reward you by paying you for engaging in certain activities. The rights you grant us, and your obligations, with respect to the Public Content you post are set out in our Terms of Service and Content Guidelines for Recommendation Eligibility. Your activities, account and the content you post must always comply with our terms, policies and guidelines. We may check your account and the content you post to determine whether they comply. We have no obligation to distribute the content you post to Snapchat and you may delete such content at any time.

3. Creator Responsibilities

To maintain eligibility to participate in Creator Subscriptions, you must:

  • Provide accurate descriptions to Subscribers of your Creator Subscription offering and any material information relating to your Creator Subscription, and deliver any promised or purchased benefits to Subscribers.

  • Understand that all the content you share through the Programme is considered Public Content under the Snap Terms of Service and accordingly, ensure that it complies with Snap's Community Guidelines.

  • Remain responsible for how you interact with your subscribers. We may moderate your Creator Subscription content and facilitate interactions by providing the Programme, but we are not responsible for Subscriber interactions.

In Summary: You're responsible for ensuring your subscription offerings are accurately advertised to potential Subscribers, and that all your Creator Subscription content complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including any intellectual property laws and Snap guidelines set forth in the Snap Terms of Service.

4. Revenue, Payments & Pricing

4.1 Subscription Pricing

You may determine the pricing applicable to your Creator Subscription within the ranges provided by Snap. Snap may set or adjust price minimums, maximums and available tiers at any time. Subscription payments are processed by an app-store provider or another third-party purchasing platform ("Purchase Provider"), each of which may retain a platform fee. 

4.2 Subscription Revenue

Each month, we will pay you a portion of the Gross Revenue (defined below) of the amount paid by Subscribers for access to your Creator Subscription. "Gross Revenue" means the amounts actually received by Snap from your Creator Subscriptions subscribers, less Revenue Share Deductions (defined below). "Revenue Share Deductions" means (a) taxes, if any, required to be collected, withheld or paid with respect to such amounts (except taxes on Snap's net income), (b) platform fees and (c) any and all refunds to subscribers. 

You also agree that Snap will retain a percentage of your Gross Revenue ("Fee"), which we may instruct the Purchase Provider to collect and pay to us without any further notice and/or approvals. The Fee amount is determined by Snap in its sole discretion. Any Payment amounts shown in the Snapchat application are estimates, shown to you for convenience only and may be subjected to change. In the event you owe Snap any amounts, it may require (as a condition of any payments you may receive) that the Payment Provider deduct or withhold amounts to account for refunds, chargebacks, fraud and/or any other amounts you may owe Snap. You will not be eligible to receive Payment for any such estimates if you are not in compliance with these Creator Subscription Terms and have not successfully set up a valid Payment Account. The final amounts of any Payments will be reflected in your Payment Account that you establish with our Payment Provider. For clarity, estimated Payment amounts or amounts shown in the Snapchat application are not intended to confer or imply any rights or represent any obligations, do not constitute property or rights to property, are not transferable or assignable, and may not be the subject of a sale, barter or exchange.

4.3 Payouts & Requesting Payment

Payment amounts for Qualifying Activity will be determined by us based on our proprietary payment formula. Our payment formula may be adjusted by us from time to time and is based on a number of factors, which may include the number of Subscribers, your price and Gross Revenue. 

Requesting Payment: Once we have recorded enough Qualifying Activity to meet a minimum payment threshold of $100 USD, you may request payment by selecting the relevant option in your user profile. Payment will be disbursed to your Payment Account by our Payment Provider to the extent permitted by law and subject to your compliance with these Creator Subscription Terms. 

PLEASE NOTE: IF (A) YOU HAVE NOT ENGAGED IN ANY QUALIFYING ACTIVITY FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR, OR (B) YOU HAVE NOT VALIDLY REQUESTED A PAYMENT PURSUANT TO THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH FOR A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS, THEN - AT THE END OF THE APPLICABLE PERIOD - WE WILL DISBURSE PAYMENT TO YOUR PAYMENT ACCOUNT BASED ON ANY QUALIFYING ACTIVITY WE HAVE ATTRIBUTED TO YOU THROUGH THE END OF SUCH PERIOD SUBJECT TO YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THESE CREATOR SUBSCRIPTION TERMS. IF, AT THE END OF THE APPLICABLE PERIOD, YOU HAVE NOT SATISFIED ANY REQUIREMENT SET FORTH IN THESE CREATOR SUBSCRIPTION TERMS, YOU WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE ANY PAYMENT RELATED TO SUCH QUALIFYING ACTIVITY. 

In the event Payments are made to you, they will be made to you by our Payment Provider (who is the payer under these Creator Subscription Terms) on behalf of Snap or its subsidiary or affiliate entities, as applicable. Snap is not and will not be responsible for any delay, failure or inability to transfer Payments to your Payment Account due to any reason, including your failure to comply with these Creator Subscription Terms. Snap will not be responsible if someone other than you requests Payment using your Payment Account or transfers your Payments using your Payment Account information. Payment will be made in United States dollars, but you may elect to withdraw the funds from your Payment Account in your local currency, subject to use, exchange and transaction fees, as further explained in the Creator Rewards Guidelines, and subject to our Payment Provider's terms. Snap does not hold your Payment Account and is not responsible for any unclaimed funds within your Payment Account. You have no right to Payments unless and until they are paid to you in accordance with these Creator Subscription Terms.

In addition to our other rights and remedies, we may, to the extent permitted by law, without providing a warning or prior notice, advise our Payment Provider to withhold, adjust or exclude any Payments to you under these Creator Subscription Terms for suspected Invalid Activity (as defined below) or failure to comply with these Creator Subscription Terms. We may direct our Payment Provider, and you expressly agree, to adjust any Payments to account for any amounts that you wrongfully received, received in error or that you owe us under any other agreement. 

4.4 Taxes

You agree and acknowledge that you have sole responsibility and liability for any and all taxes, duties or fees relating to any Payments you may receive pursuant to these Creator Subscription Terms. Payments are inclusive of any applicable sales, use, excise, value added, goods and services or similar tax payable to you. If, under applicable law, taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any Payments to you, then Snap may direct its Payment Provider to deduct such taxes from the amount owed to you so that such taxes may be paid to the appropriate taxing authority as required by applicable law. Nonetheless, you agree and acknowledge that Payment to you as reduced by such deductions or withholdings will constitute full payment and settlement to you of amounts that may be payable under these Creator Subscription Terms. As part of setting up a valid Payment Account, you will provide Snap, its subsidiaries, affiliates and any Payment Provider with any forms or documents that may be required to satisfy any identification, information reporting or withholding tax obligations under these Creator Subscription Terms.

In Summary: You are responsible for all taxes, duties or fees related to your Payments, even if third parties may make these deductions required by applicable law. You will provide any forms or documents required for these purposes.

5. Invalid Activity

Invalid Activity will be determined by Snap in its sole discretion and may include:

  • Manipulation or fraud intended to increase revenue.

  • Off-platform content or accounts that conflict with Snap's brand guidelines.

Snap may direct its Payment Provider to withhold or revoke Payments for any Invalid Activity in its sole discretion.

In Summary: Don't manipulate metrics. Fraudulent engagement will make you ineligible for payment.

6. Termination

You must stay in compliance with these Creator Subscription Terms in order to participate in the Programme. If you are not in compliance with these Creator Subscription Terms, you will no longer be able to participate in the Programme and we reserve the right to suspend or permanently revoke your access to the Services, in addition to taking any other action that we deem appropriate. We may suspend or terminate your ability to use Creator Subscriptions at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to policy violations, safety or content concerns, or any violation of these Creator Subscription Terms.

To the extent permitted by law, we further reserve the right to direct our Payment Providers to withhold (and you agree that you will not be eligible to receive) any payments under these Creator Subscription Terms for non-compliance. If at any time you don't agree to any portion of these Creator Subscription Terms, you must stop posting content, participating in the Programme and using the applicable Services immediately.

We do not guarantee that any of the foregoing will be available at all times or at any given time, or that we will continue to offer any of the foregoing for any particular length of time. You should not rely on the continued availability of the Programme or any of the services for any reason.

In Summary: We can restrict or terminate your involvement in the Program or modify, suspend, or terminate the Program at any time, for any reason. If you no longer agree to these Terms, you must stop participating in Creator Subscriptions.
