SIMPLE MEDIA CREATOR PROGRAM TERMS

Simple Sauce Group LLC d/b/a Simple Media, 936 SW 1st Ave #323, Miami, FL 33130 (Simple Media, we, us) and the person who accepts these terms (you) agree as follows.

1. Acceptance and records. You accept these terms (this Agreement) by checking the box and clicking Accept in the Simple Media app at simplemedia.ai (the app). That click is your electronic signature. We keep a record of the time, account, network address and version of your acceptance, and you can download a copy of this Agreement. You agree to receive this Agreement and notices electronically. Tax forms are covered by Section 13.

2. Who we are. Simple Media is an agency and education company. We connect creators with brands for campaigns and commission links offered through the app (Brand Deals). We are a connector in the middle: we hold the contract with each brand, the brand is not a party to this Agreement and owes you nothing, and we make no promise on behalf of any brand. We pay commission only from money brands actually pay us, never from our own funds (Section 8). We are not responsible for any legal, FTC, tax, platform or account trouble you have, including trouble arising from content you post for a Brand Deal.

3. Who may join. You must be at least 18, live in the United States, have a United States bank account that can receive ACH payments, and not be a person that sanctions law bars us from dealing with. We may ask for proof of age and identity and may refuse or close any account. The Simple Media Creator Network (the Program) is offered only in the United States.

4. The five offers. Simple Media has five offers. (a) AI Referred is the free tier. You can join it only through an invite link from another member. It costs nothing and is granted when you accept this Agreement in the app, with no checkout. It gives you one set of standard tracked links for each Brand Deal you are approved on, all at the one free tier rate for that deal, and no special program of any kind. A AI Referred member may see and apply only to the Brand Deal named in the invite link through which that member joined. A AI Referred member may also see and apply to a Brand Deal named in a later invite link sent to that member. AI Referred includes no access to any brand deal Discord server. (b) AI Jobs is a paid membership sold for coaching and community in the brand deal Discord servers Simple Media runs and for the paid tier rates. Job postings are included with it, but they are not what the fee buys. (c) AI Community is a paid membership sold for group coaching, including the live group calls, and community in the brand deal Discord servers Simple Media runs and the AI Community role in the Simple Media Discord server, and for the paid tier rates, with no one on one help, tickets or one on one coaching. Job postings are included with it, but they are not what the fee buys. (d) AI Accelerator is a separate product sold under its own agreement. While an AI Accelerator agreement of yours is active, that agreement alone governs you, and this Agreement does not apply to your Brand Deals or payouts. (e) AI Lite is a paid membership sold under the Simple Media Terms of Service. On each day an AI Lite membership of yours is active you are on the AI Lite tier: one flat rate of 30 percent for every placement on every Brand Deal you are approved on, earned only on sales of the product your content directly promotes through your own tracked link, never on halo, spillover or other product sales, and no special program of any kind. AI Lite does not include TikTok Shop Brand Deals. For Sections 9, 10, 12 and 13 the AI Lite tier is treated as the paid tier, except that on the AI Lite tier the reserve is held for order verification: we may hold back up to 20 percent of the commission newly earned in a month, and that reserve is released with the payout made on the 15th of the third month after that month. AI Jobs and AI Community are sold under the Simple Media Terms of Service. You are on the paid tier on each day an AI Jobs or AI Community membership of yours is active, and on the free tier on every other day on which you are not on the AI Lite tier. We may charge for the Program, any offer or any feature in the future, change what an offer includes, or close the Program; nothing is promised free forever, and a new charge applies to you only if you choose to buy it.

5. Brand Deals and applications. Before you apply to a Brand Deal the app shows its terms for your tier (the Deal Terms), including your rate and the content rules. You see only the rate and the application for your own tier. We, and the brand where the Deal Terms say so, decide each application at our discretion based on the performance of your account. Buying AI Jobs, AI Community or AI Lite never guarantees approval, work or income, and approval is never guaranteed. If you are approved, the Deal Terms you applied under bind you; where they conflict with this Agreement, this Agreement controls, except for the rate and content rules of that deal.

6. Rates. Rates are set per Brand Deal and per tier and are not guaranteed. On the free tier one flat rate applies to every placement on a deal, and commission is earned only on sales of the product your content directly promotes through your tracked link, never on halo, spillover or other product sales. Paid tier rates are set per deal and may differ by placement. The free tier rate on a Brand Deal is never zero for as long as you keep to this Agreement, to the content, disclosure and AI rules in Section 9, and to the posting and compliance rules of the brand stated in the Deal Terms, and a paid tier rate is never lower than the free tier rate on the same deal. That promise is about the rate we set; it is not a promise that every sale earns. Where you are in breach of any of those rules, or while we are reviewing whether you are, Section 10 may cut the commission on the sales concerned, including to 0 percent on the free tier, and Section 12 lets us withhold or delay payment of commission, within the notice, the time limits and the automatic release that Section 12 sets and never beyond them. Commission withheld under Section 12 is paid when we release it and is forfeited only where Section 10 cuts it or where it was never earned under Section 8. Sections 10 and 12 are the only ways commission is CUT or WITHHELD, and nothing in this Section adds another. Payment may also be delayed, without any commission being cut or withheld, only as Section 13 provides: while valid tax documentation is outstanding, and where a balance under 25 USD is carried to a later payout. A sale earns the rate for the tier you are on, and the rate in force, on the date of the sale. We may change a rate at any time by showing the new rate in the app; the new rate applies to sales made from the day it takes effect.

7. Links and attribution. You post from your own accounts using the tracked links we issue to you and submit each post link in the app. Commission is calculated on sales that TikTok Shop, Amazon or another platform named in the Deal Terms (a Sales Platform) reports as attributed to your links. Figures in the app are estimates and may be corrected. You must not share your links or accounts, use links issued to anyone else, or create sales through self purchases, fake or paid orders, bots or any other artificial activity.

8. When commission is earned. We pay commission only from money we actually collect from the brand for the sales concerned. If a brand refuses or fails to pay for any reason, nothing is owed to you from our own funds. Commission on a sale is earned only when (a) a Sales Platform attributes the sale to your links, (b) the sale is not reversed, not artificial and not a double credited sale under Section 11, and (c) the brand has paid Simple Media for it. If a brand pays only part of what it owes, commission is earned only in the same proportion. Where the cleared funds for a campaign or period paid as a whole are less than the total commission at the rates on every sale attributed in it, commission on each sale is reduced in the same proportion for every creator on that campaign or period, so that total commission never exceeds the cleared funds, and the statement shows the reduction and the figures behind it. What a brand pays us does not depend on your tier, and any amount above your commission belongs to Simple Media. We promise no collection effort and do not advance or guarantee commission. Returns, refunds, chargebacks and attribution corrections reduce commission even after it is paid, and we may recover any overpayment from later payouts.

9. Content rules. In every piece of content you must follow the law, including the FTC endorsement rules: disclose your paid relationship clearly in the video and in the caption, turn on the platform paid partnership tool where one exists, make no product claim the Deal Terms do not allow, never present an AI generated person, voice or experience as real, and label AI content where the platform requires it. You must also follow the rules of every platform you use. On the paid tier you must also follow the other content rules in the Deal Terms, such as call to action rules. On the free tier only legal rules apply, and there are no call to action rules. You will fix or remove content within 48 hours after we ask, and you authorize us to ask a platform to remove it.

10. Violations. We decide in our reasonable judgment whether content breaks a rule that applies to your tier (a violation). A violation counts in the calendar month in which we tell you about it. For each violation, commission on each sale from that content is cut to the lower of your rate and the reduced cap shown in the app if you are on the paid tier on the date of the sale, and to 0 percent if you are on the free tier on the date of the sale. If 3 violations count in one calendar month while you are on the free tier, every free tier sale you make in that calendar month earns 0 percent commission. If that happens in 2 calendar months in a row, we remove you from the Program and this Agreement ends. A cut is not a change to the rate.

11. No double earning. You must not receive commission, fees, credit or any other pay from any other agency, network or program, including a brand own affiliate program, for the same content or the same sales that earn commission under this Agreement. Pay that the Deal Terms say a Sales Platform pays you directly is not double earning. You must tell us in writing about any such arrangement before you post content it could cover; telling us does not permit double earning. A sale credited or paid to you, or to anyone acting for you, both here and elsewhere is a double credited sale. We may withhold commission on a double credited sale, recover commission already paid on it from later payouts or as a debt you owe us, and treat double earning as a breach of this Agreement.

12. Reserves and holds. Whether a reserve applies to a sale depends on the tier you were on when the content that produced the sale was posted. For content posted on a paid tier we may hold back 20 percent of the commission newly earned in a month as a reserve for returns and refunds, or up to 30 percent where the Deal Terms said so before you applied. No reserve is held on content posted on the free tier, and no reserve is taken on released reserve. The reserve taken on the commission of a month is released with the payout made on the 15th of the third month after that month, less only adjustments we have itemized in writing under Section 8. When a paid membership ends and you stay in the Program, no reserve is taken on content posted after it ends and each reserve already taken is released on its normal date. When this Agreement ends, we release every remaining reserve on a final statement sent within 75 days after the later of the 30th day after access ends and the day we deactivate your tracked links. Separately from a reserve, where we have a reasonable basis to believe that attributed sales may not be earned, or that you are in breach of this Agreement, of the content, disclosure and AI rules in Section 9, or of the posting and compliance rules of the brand stated in the Deal Terms, we may hold the affected commission, and may hold your whole balance where the concern is about the account itself. A hold starts on the day we first withhold the affected commission. Within 7 days after that day we send you a written notice stating what was flagged, why, the amount and the source; if no notice is sent within 7 days, the hold ends and the amount is paid on the 15th of the month after the month in which the hold ends or is decided, whichever is earlier. You may answer at any time, and we decide in writing with reasons by the end of the hold. A hold lasts up to 90 days from the day it starts, or up to 180 days where the stated concern is returns or chargebacks. If we find the sales were not earned under Section 8, no commission is owed on them; otherwise the held amount, and any hold not decided by its end date, is paid on the 15th of the month after the month in which the hold ends or is decided, whichever is earlier. The ending of a hold, whether by decision, by a missed notice or by a missed deadline, releases the hold only; it does not make a sale paid for and creates no payment obligation on a sale that is not paid for under Section 8. Held amounts are not forfeited by the passage of time, and a reserve or a hold may be applied to commission that turns out not to be earned or to any amount you owe us.

13. Payouts and taxes. Earned commission is paid only once the brand has paid Simple Media for the sales concerned, and the tier you were on at the date of each sale sets its payout timing. Free tier sales made in a month are usually paid by the 15th day of the second month after that month (for example, October sales by December 15). Paid tier sales made in a month are usually paid within 15 business days (weekdays other than United States federal holidays) after the end of that month. If the brand pays after that date, the same period runs from the end of the month in which the brand pays. We may pay earlier. These dates are targets, not deadlines; they create no obligation or liability on Simple Media, and missing one is not a breach of this Agreement. Nothing in this paragraph affects whether commission is earned, which Section 8 alone decides. Payouts are made only by ACH, in US dollars, to a United States bank account in your name. Every payout, transfer, bank or processing fee charged on money paid to you comes out of your earnings; we absorb no fee. We may carry a balance under 25 USD to a later payout, and pay any carried balance with the last payout after this Agreement ends. We may hold payouts until you give a valid IRS Form W-9, or the applicable Form W-8, through the app; we withhold any tax the law requires and you pay all other taxes on what you earn. We issue IRS Form 1099 where required. Tax forms (Form 1099) for commission are delivered electronically if you give the separate consent in the app, or on paper. The separate consent is at the end of this Agreement; without it you get the form on paper by mail. We may deduct from payouts any amount you owe us. Money we cannot pay because we cannot reach you or your payout setup is incomplete is handled under the unclaimed property law that applies.

14. Referrals. Inviting other creators is governed only by the separate Simple Media Referral Program Terms, which free tier members may also accept.

15. Independent contractor. You take part as an independent business, not as our employee, agent or partner. You decide whether to apply and when, where and how to make content, use your own accounts and tools at your own cost, and may work for others subject to Sections 11 and 17.

16. Content, materials and publicity. Your content belongs to you. For content you make for a Brand Deal you grant us and the brand of that deal a non exclusive, worldwide, royalty free license, with the right to sublicense to the agencies and retail partners of the brand, to use, repost, edit, boost and advertise with it during the campaign and for 12 months after the campaign ends, or for the period the Deal Terms state, and to keep it in records. You promise you have the rights to everything in your content that the brand or we did not supply. Deal Terms, rates and other Program materials are confidential: use them only for your Brand Deals and do not share or resell them, though nothing here limits a truthful review of your own experience. We may share your profile, applications, content and sales data with the brands you apply to, Sales Platforms and our payment providers. We will not use your name, likeness or results to market Simple Media unless you give permission in the app, which you may withdraw.

17. No poaching. Brands you apply to or work with through the Program are our clients. While this Agreement is in force and for 6 months after it ends, you will not contract or work with any such brand directly, or through anyone other than Simple Media, without our written consent, unless you already worked with that brand before you first dealt with it through the Program. Joining an affiliate program that a brand runs itself and opens to the public is not a breach of this Section, but Section 11 still applies to the same content and the same sales. Nothing in this Agreement lets a brand invite you to a Discord server or other community the brand runs, or deal with you directly. This Section protects our brand relationships and confidential deal terms, which are legitimate business interests; it applies only as far as the law where you live allows and may be enforced by injunction.

18. No guarantee of earnings. We do not promise any income, approval, rate or result, and we do not state what a typical member earns. Results vary widely, and many members earn little or nothing. Any example we give of what a named creator earned shows only what that person did, and we keep the proof behind it. No one may promise you income or change this Agreement by anything said on a call, in Discord or in a message.

19. No warranties. The Program, the app, the links, all figures and all materials are provided as is and as available, without any warranty of any kind (including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or error free service), to the fullest extent the law allows. We are not affiliated with TikTok, Amazon, Meta, Discord or any other platform, and we are not responsible for any platform decision, account restriction or ban, or change in attribution.

20. Limit of liability. Our total liability for all claims of every kind relating to this Agreement or the Program will not exceed the commission earned and not yet paid to you plus 100 USD. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages or lost income. This Section applies to every claim, except to the extent the law does not allow liability to be limited.

21. Indemnity. You will defend and indemnify Simple Media, its officers, employees, contractors and agents, and the brand of the deal concerned, against every claim, loss and cost arising from your content, your claims, your accounts, your taxes, double earning, or your breach of this Agreement, of any law or of any platform rule.

22. Suspension and ending. You may end this Agreement at any time by email to the support address. We may suspend or end your access, any Brand Deal or this Agreement at any time for any reason, and immediately for fraud, artificial sales activity, sharing links or accounts, double earning, false identity, being under 18, removal under Section 10, or threats or harassment of any person (each an immediate ground). When this Agreement ends your links and access stop and no benefit continues, except that commission on sales made in the calendar month in which it ends, and in earlier months, stays payable on the normal schedule, unless it is tied to fraud or to a breach of this Agreement. Nothing is payable on sales after that month. Sections 2, 8, 10 to 13 and 15 to 25 survive the end of this Agreement. We will not end your access or hold commission because you asserted a right the law gives you.

23. Changes. We may change this Agreement, any rate or any offer at any time by notice under Section 24. A change takes effect on the date stated in the notice. If you keep taking part in the Program after that date, you accept the change; you may instead end this Agreement at any time, including before the change takes effect. No change reduces commission already earned on sales made before the change takes effect.

24. Notices. We give notice through the app, Discord or email, using any one or more of them, and a notice is given when we post or send it. Keep your email address current. You give notice to us by email to info@simplesaucegroup.com (the support address).

25. General. Florida law governs this Agreement, without regard to conflict of law rules. The state and federal courts in Miami-Dade County, Florida have exclusive jurisdiction, except that either party may bring a claim within the small claims limit in the county court of Miami-Dade County or of the county where you live, and you keep any protection of the law where you live that cannot be waived by contract. If any part of this Agreement is unenforceable, the rest stays in force and that part is enforced as far as the law allows. This Agreement, the Deal Terms you accept, and the Referral Program Terms if you accept them, are the entire agreement between us about the Program, and this Agreement controls every question about Brand Deals, rates, commission, reserves, holds and payouts. We may assign this Agreement without your consent; you may not assign it. The privacy policy at https://simplemedia.ai/privacy explains how we handle personal information.
