IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY AND ITS AFFILIATES TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
Services; Scope(s) of Work. Services; Scope(s) of Work: Company wishes to engage Creator to participate in events, perform social media marketing, and other related marketing services (the "Services"). The Services shall be set forth in one or more Scope(s) of Work (each, a “Scope of Work” or “SOW”). Creator agrees to perform the Services subject to these terms, the terms of the Creator Agreement, and of the applicable Scope of Work. The Company and Creator shall enter into one or more written Scope(s) of Work, detailing the specific Services, duration, reach, and other terms as mutually agreed by the Parties. Each SOW shall detail (a) the specific Services to be provided by Creator; (b) the scope, duration, and reach of each applicable event (each an “Event”) or campaign (each a “Campaign”); (c) the Client’s Social Media Channels, or other media channels, that may be used for the Campaign; (d) any Content (as defined below) to be created by Creator; (e) a schedule and dates for performance by the Creator of the Services and Campaign; (f) minimum and/or maximum limits on the duration a post will be live and on other posts made on the same social media channels and other similar requirements; and (g) such other terms as may be mutually agreed by the Parties.
Development and Approval of Content. Initial Development and Approval. Creator shall submit all elements of any and all plans, materials, content, videos, photographs and/or works of a similar nature produced, developed, or created by Creator, in whole or in part pursuant to the Creator Agreement (collectively, the “Content”), including any applicable post(s) and captions relating to the Content, to the Company for the Client’s written approval prior to posting, which approval may be granted or withheld in the Client’s and Company’s sole discretion. All Content must be submitted to the Company in accordance with the schedule set forth in the SOW. If, following each submission of Content to the Company for approval by the Client, the Company or the Client requests or requires any edits to the Content, the Creator shall make any and all edits as requested by the Company or the Client. Company will endeavour to limit the rounds of edits. Following Creator’s implementation of such edits, Creator shall resubmit the Content to the Company for review and approval by the Client. In the event that Creator incorporates applicable edits in a manner consistent with the requirements provided to Creator but the Content is thereafter not approved by the Client, the Company reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and/or the applicable SOW immediately upon notice to Creator, subject to the payment to Creator of a termination fee per Section 7(d) of these Terms. In addition, if Creator makes any post without having received notice from the Company of the Client’s approval, such unauthorised post shall be deemed a material breach of Creator’s obligations under this Agreement and the Company shall have the right to (a) terminate the Agreement and/or the applicable SOW immediately upon notice to Creator, or (b) require Creator to post a makegood that has been approved by the Client, without additional compensation to Creator.
Ongoing Revisions. In addition to approval requirements in Section 2(a), above, following approval of any Content by the Client, and sharing or posting of such Content by Creator, the Client shall have the right to (i) require Creator to revise any Content to the extent that the information included in a post with regard to the Client is no longer accurate, or (ii) require Creator to remove any indicia of the Client from the Content. In the event of any such requirement by the Client, upon request from the Company, Creator shall revise the applicable Content which shall be subject to the approval process set forth in Section 2(a). For clarity and avoidance of doubt, Creators obligations in this Section 2(b) shall survive termination of this Agreement and Creator agrees at any time upon request of Company or Client to do what is necessary to comply with the provisions of this Section 2(b) provided, however, that after termination, whether the Content is revised or all indicia of Client is removed shall be at Creator’s option.
Authentication/Platform Systems. Creator will take the steps necessary to verify and authenticate the Services as directed by Company. Specifically but without limitation, with regard to any Campaign pursuant to which Creator is obligated to post on Instagram or TikTok, Creator must authenticate with Company’s proprietary system within forty-eight (48) hours of receiving the applicable authentication link. For all TikTok programs, Creator agrees to join TikTok’s Creator Marketplace (TTCM) prior to authorising with NOUR Collective. Successful authentication (or re-authentication) will enable the Company to confirm any Instagram and/or TikTok posts hereunder and issue payment, in addition to viewing the post’s analytics. If Creator fails to provide the necessary authentication within forty-eight (48) hours and/or if authentication is not successfully activated prior to agreed-upon posting date, the Creator will be required to post a makegood that has been approved by the applicable Client, without additional compensation to Creator. Delays in authorisation, will be considered a delay as per Section 2. of these Terms. Further, if Creator fails to provide photographic or other evidence of Creator’s successful completion of the Services and/or Campaign(s), the Company shall have the right to require Creator to post a makegood that has been approved by the Client. Company reserves the right to withhold payment until Creator meets the authentication requirements in this Section 2(c).
Analytics. If requested by Company, Creator must provide Company with proof of completion, including but not limited to, a screen shot of all reasonably available metrics and analytics relating to the Service at the time of posting including, but not limited to, attendee list, the number of post views, audience demographics, and blog analytics (when applicable), within seventy-two (72) hours of each such request. Delays in providing this information, will be considered a delay as per Section 2 of the Terms. Company reserves the right to withhold payment until Creator meets the analytics requirements in this Section 2(d).
Creator Delays. Time is of the essence with regard to Creator’s performance under the Creator Agreement. In the event that Creator fails to provide the Service or Content for review and approval in accordance with the timing requirements set forth in the Creator Agreement, these Terms, in the applicable SOW, or otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties in connection with an applicable SOW, or otherwise fails to perform the Services in accordance with the timelines set forth in the applicable SOW, shall constitute a material breach of the Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, if Creator believes that it will be unable to meet any deadline, Creator shall inform Company of the possible delay promptly.
Objectionable Content. Creator acknowledges and agrees that he/she will not (a) make any unsubstantiated claims about any third party or its products or services in any Content related to any Service; or (b) develop, share or post any material (including both Content and unrelated posts) that is in any way illegal, obscene or harmful to the reputation, goodwill or interest of the Company or the Client or their respective products, services, associates, employees or affiliates or that is otherwise reasonably objectionable to the Company or the Client.
Exclusivity. Creator acknowledges and agrees not to include as part of any Content, or otherwise post to any Social Media Channel, or any other media channel set forth in an applicable SOW, in connection or combination with the Content, any reference to any other brand or trademark other than those authorised by the Company on behalf of the Client and shall not post to any Social Media Channel, or any other media channel set forth in an applicable SOW, any information, promotion, endorsement or content related to the brands specified in the applicable SOW for the period of time set forth in the applicable SOW. In addition, Creator agrees to only tag Client’s pages on Social Media Channels and/or Client’s social media handles in Creator’s post(s) that include the Content.
Compensation and Payment. Subject to completion of the Services and Campaign(s) set forth in the applicable SOW, and delivery to the Company of the confirmation required by the Company to evidence that the Services or Campaign(s) have been completed, and provided that Creator is not in breach of the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall pay Creator the compensation set forth in the applicable SOW. Payment shall be made using a payment system or other method chosen by Company. Company reserves the right to change its payment system or method of payment at any time. Creator agrees to take such actions as are necessary for Creator to receive payment via the system or method chosen by Company. Company currently makes Creator payments using Bank Transfer. For all payments under $5,000, payment shall occur on the first Friday following the thirty (30) day period from the date Creator fulfils all of its obligations hereunder (Net30); for all payments over $5,000, payment shall occur on the first Friday following the 60 day period from the date Creator fulfils all of its obligations hereunder (Net 60).
The Company shall submit payments to Creator using the payment account information provided by Creator on the SOW. Creator shall be solely responsible for maintaining and/or updating his or her payment account information including but not limited to financial institution and account number information (“Creator Payment Information” or “IPI”) by contacting the Company. Any failure by Creator to provide accurate IPI, to timely submit an invoice, or to update changes to IPI may result in delays in payment. If the Company makes a payment to an incorrect account due to Creator’s failure to provide accurate IPI, and the Company is unable to recover the amount of such incorrect payment, the Company shall be deemed to have made such payment in full to Creator, and the Company shall have no further obligation to Creator with regard to such payment. Further, any failure by Creator to claim or request payment on or before ninety (90) days from the date Creator fulfils all of its obligations as set forth in the applicable SOW, shall result in Creator forfeiting any and all right, title and interest to payment. If Company becomes aware of a disagreement between Creator and Creator’s agent concerning the party to whom or account to which payment should be made, Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to delay payment until such time as Creator and agent have resolved the disagreement and jointly instructed Company regarding payment.Term and Termination.

c. Termination Fees. In the event that the Company terminates the Agreement or an applicable SOW pursuant to Section 7(b)(ii), the Company shall pay Creator the following termination fees: (i) if such termination occurs after this Agreement has been fully executed but the SOW has been signed, an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the overall compensation payable by Company to Creator in connection with the terminated Services and/or Campaign(s); (ii) if such termination within after Content has been submitted and approved, or within fourteen (14) days of the event, but before Content has been posted, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the overall compensation payable by the Company to Creator in connection with the terminated Services and/or Campaign(s), (iii) if such termination occurs after Content is submitted, approved and posted but one-half or more of the duration of the Campaign remains, or within seven (7) days of the event, an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the overall compensation payable by the Company to Creator in connection with the terminated Services and/or Campaign(s), and (iv) if such termination occurs after Content is submitted, approved, posted and more than one-half of the duration of the Campaign has been completed, the full amount provided for in the Agreement.
