Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of socialcreators.co and your relationship with SocialCreators ("we," "us," "our") as a brand, creator, or other collaborator. By submitting a form, engaging in a campaign, or accepting a booking through SocialCreators, you agree to these Terms.

1. Independent Contractor Status (Creators)

1.1 Classification

By submitting an application, accepting a campaign, or receiving payment through SocialCreators, you acknowledge and agree that:

• You are an independent contractor and not an employee, partner, agent, or joint venture of SocialCreators.
• SocialCreators is NOT your employer and does not engage you as a worker under any employment contract, whether permanent, temporary, or part-time.
• You have no right to employment benefits of any kind from SocialCreators, including but not limited to: salaries, paid vacations, health insurance, pension contributions, social security benefits, occupational risk insurance (ARL), severance pay, or any other labor benefit under the laws of Colombia, the United States, Mexico, Venezuela, or any other jurisdiction.

1.2 Tax Responsibilities

Each creator is solely and exclusively responsible for:

• Declaring and paying all applicable income taxes, withholdings, and other tax obligations in their country of residence and tax jurisdiction
• Making all required contributions to social security, health insurance, and pension systems as applicable under local law (e.g., salud y pensión in Colombia; IVSS in Venezuela; IMSS in Mexico; self-employment tax in the US)
• Obtaining and maintaining any business licenses or registrations required to invoice for services in their country
• Complying with VAT/IVA obligations where applicable

SocialCreators does not withhold taxes on your behalf, does not issue tax documents (such as 1099 forms in the US), and is not responsible for any tax liability you may incur from payments received through campaigns. It is your responsibility to consult with a tax professional in your jurisdiction.

1.3 Control and Independence

As an independent contractor, you retain control over how you perform your work, subject to the agreed creative brief. You are free to work with other brands, agencies, and platforms at any time. SocialCreators does not impose exclusivity unless explicitly agreed in writing for a specific campaign.

2. How SocialCreators Works

SocialCreators acts as an intermediary. We:

• Receive campaign briefs from brands seeking creator content
• Match brands with suitable creators from our roster based on niche, style, language, and availability
• Facilitate communication, brief delivery, content review, and payment coordination
• Do not produce content ourselves and are not responsible for the final creative output beyond our QC review process

3. Payments

Campaign rates are agreed between SocialCreators and the creator prior to the start of production. SocialCreators coordinates payment on behalf of the brand once final content is approved. Payment timelines are outlined in the individual campaign brief. SocialCreators may deduct a service fee from the total campaign budget before disbursing creator payments. The specific fee is communicated at the time of campaign offer.

SocialCreators is not liable for brand non-payment beyond commercially reasonable collection efforts. In the event a brand fails to pay after content has been delivered and approved, SocialCreators will make reasonable efforts to collect on the creator's behalf.

4. Content and Usage Rights

Unless otherwise specified in the campaign brief:

• Creators grant the brand organic usage rights to content produced through SocialCreators campaigns
• Paid media usage, whitelisting, Spark Ads, and extended licensing require additional compensation, agreed in writing before campaign kickoff
• Creators warrant that all content they produce is original, does not infringe third-party intellectual property rights, and complies with applicable advertising and disclosure laws (including FTC guidelines for US campaigns)

5. Brand Responsibilities

Brands working with SocialCreators agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and lawful campaign briefs
• Pay campaign fees as agreed, fully prepaid before creator confirmation
• Review and provide feedback on content within the timeframes outlined in the campaign terms
• Use content only within the usage rights granted — not beyond what was agreed and paid for
• Not contact, negotiate with, or attempt to hire creators directly outside of SocialCreators for a period of 12 months following any introduction made by SocialCreators

6. Limitation of Liability

SocialCreators is not liable for:

• Any tax liability, social security obligations, or labor claims arising from a creator's independent contractor relationship
• Content quality issues beyond our stated QC process
• Platform algorithm changes affecting content performance
• Delays caused by brand failure to ship products, provide approvals, or respond within agreed timeframes
• Any disputes between brands and creators beyond our mediation efforts

Our total liability in any claim related to a specific campaign is limited to the fees paid to SocialCreators for that campaign.

7. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Colombia. Any disputes that cannot be resolved informally will be submitted to the competent courts in Medellín, Colombia. Parties agree to attempt good-faith resolution before pursuing formal legal action.

8. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance. We will communicate material changes by email when we have your contact information on file.
