Creator Agreement
Effective Date: March 27, 2026 • Contact: support@ai-people.io
1. Platform Role and Relationship
The Platform operates solely as an online marketplace facilitating the listing, licensing, and monetization of fully AI-generated digital human identities and related content ("AI Personalities").
Nothing in this Agreement creates an agency, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the Creator and the Platform.
The Creator acts as an independent contractor and retains control over creative decisions, subject to Platform policies.
Creator is solely responsible for ensuring that the creation, listing, and monetization of content complies with applicable laws and regulations in their jurisdiction.
2. Ownership
Except to the extent assignable rights are expressly transferred under an Ownership / Assignment Agreement:
- the Creator retains rights in AI Personalities and related asset packages created and listed by the Creator;
- no title or ownership transfers to the Platform or buyers by default;
- Exclusive Commercial Rights transactions do not automatically transfer title or ownership.
The Creator represents that they have full authority to grant the rights described in this Agreement.
3. Authorization to License and Enforce
The Creator grants the Platform a non-exclusive, worldwide right to:
- list AI Personalities on the Platform;
- offer and facilitate Commercial, Exclusive, and Ownership / Assignment licenses;
- issue license documentation to buyers;
- collect payments and distribute proceeds in accordance with Platform terms;
- suspend, restrict, or terminate licensing where required.
The Creator further authorizes the Platform, at its discretion, to take reasonable actions to enforce license terms, investigate misuse, and respond to third-party claims or complaints relating to AI Personalities listed on the Platform.
4. Marketing and Promotional Use
The Creator grants the Platform a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, and perpetual license to use AI Personality names, images, videos, previews, and related materials solely for:
- marketing and promotion of the Platform;
- marketplace listings and discovery;
- internal analytics, optimization, and performance measurement.
This license does not permit resale of the content outside the Platform and does not transfer ownership.
5. Representations and Warranties
The Creator represents and warrants that:
- all AI Personalities are fully AI-generated;
- no AI Personality is based on, depicts, or resembles a real individual;
- no third-party intellectual property or personality rights are violated;
- all content complies with applicable laws and Platform policies;
- NSFW content, if any, is accurately categorized and labeled.
The Creator bears full responsibility for any breach of these warranties.
6. Licensing Models
6.1 Commercial License
The Creator authorizes the sale of multiple non-exclusive Commercial Licenses, each with a fixed term of business use. Renewal, if offered at all, remains subject to then-current availability, platform rules, and the absence of a later effective premium claim over the same asset.
6.2 Exclusive Commercial Rights
Upon the effective date of an Exclusive Commercial Rights transaction:
- no new Commercial Licenses or additional Exclusive transactions may be issued for the same asset;
- previously issued Commercial Licenses remain valid until their disclosed expiry dates;
- title and ownership remain with the Creator except to the extent rights are separately assigned elsewhere;
- the Creator must not authorize new exploitation that conflicts with the exclusive buyer's granted commercial rights.
6.3 Ownership / Assignment
Upon the effective date of an Ownership / Assignment transaction:
- the Creator agrees to transfer only the assignable rights and listed deliverables actually controlled by the transferor and expressly covered by the deal;
- previously issued Commercial Licenses, if disclosed, remain effective until their expiry dates;
- the Creator must cease new exploitation or distribution inconsistent with the transfer once the deal becomes effective;
- the Platform may retain limited archival, compliance, and marketplace-record materials unless the executed deal expressly states otherwise.
7. Revenue, Fees, and Payouts
Platform commission: 25%
Creator share: 75%
Payments are:
- collected by the Platform;
- credited to an internal Creator balance;
- withdrawable upon request once the minimum payout threshold is met.
Network transaction fees are borne by the Creator.
The Platform may delay or withhold payouts in cases of disputes, violations, or suspected abuse.
7A. Publication Credits
Creator-side Publication Credits may apply before a new AI Personality or asset package is submitted for moderation.
One Publication Credit covers one new package submission for moderation review. It does not include catalog placement, ranking, advertising, promotion, approval, publication, sales, buyer access, or any specific moderation outcome.
Draft creation, draft editing, and draft storage remain available without Publication Credits. A Publication Credit is consumed when the Creator first submits a package into moderation. If the same package is returned for fixes and resubmitted, that resubmission does not consume an additional Publication Credit.
If a package is rejected or removed for policy, rights, quality, safety, compliance, or moderation reasons after review has been processed, the Publication Credit is generally treated as used. The Platform may issue a manual correction or credit adjustment where it determines that a clear operational or technical error occurred.
8. Buyer Communication, Platform Exclusivity, and Anti-Circumvention
The Platform may facilitate communication between buyers and the Creator following a transaction.
8.1 Platform-only commercialization of listed assets
While an AI Personality or related asset package is listed on the Platform, and with respect to any buyer, lead, or commercial opportunity originating from the Platform, the Creator shall not, without the Platform's prior written consent, directly or indirectly list, market, use, license, sell, assign, transfer, distribute, or otherwise commercially exploit that AI Personality or related asset package outside the Platform or through any competing marketplace, reseller, agency, intermediary, or direct arrangement.
8.2 Anti-circumvention
The Creator agrees not to circumvent the Platform, including attempting to complete licensing, sales, transfers, or other transactions outside the Platform in order to avoid fees, restrictions, disclosures, buyer-protection controls, or premium transaction procedures.
8.3 Confirmed breach and immediate platform remedies
If the Platform determines in good faith, after review of reasonably available evidence, that the Creator has breached this Section 8, the Platform may immediately suspend or terminate the Creator account, remove the Creator and all associated content from the Platform, cancel unpublished listings, freeze or withhold payouts, and take any other reasonable protective action permitted by the governing documents and applicable law.
8.4 Liquidated damages
For each AI Personality or related asset package involved in a confirmed breach of this Section 8, the Creator shall pay the Platform liquidated damages in the amount of USD 25,000. The parties acknowledge that damages arising from off-platform exploitation, diversion of buyers, marketplace harm, evidentiary loss, and impairment of premium or exclusive transaction value would be difficult to quantify precisely at the time of contracting, and that this amount represents a reasonable pre-estimate of anticipated harm and is not a penalty.
8.5 Non-payment, set-off, and protective license
If liquidated damages or other amounts due under this Section 8 are not paid within 10 business days after written demand, the Platform may retain and set off any unpaid Creator balances and, in addition, the Creator grants the Platform an irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license, solely to the extent reasonably necessary for enforcement, mitigation, buyer servicing, archival, evidentiary preservation, compliance, and protection of existing transactions, to host, copy, store, reproduce, display, distribute to affected buyers where already owed, remove, disable, archive, and otherwise act upon the Creator's relevant content without any royalty, payout, or revenue share to the Creator.
Custom work remains subject to Platform policies and applicable fees unless expressly stated otherwise.
9. Content Moderation
The Platform reserves the right to review, moderate, suspend, or remove AI Personalities or listings at its discretion to ensure compliance with Platform policies and applicable laws.
10. Indemnification
The Creator agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Platform from any claims, damages, or losses arising from:
- breach of representations or warranties;
- misuse of AI Personalities;
- violation of third-party rights.
11. Termination
Either party may terminate participation in the Platform in accordance with Platform procedures.
Termination does not affect:
- existing valid licenses;
- accrued payment obligations;
- rights or liabilities arising prior to termination.
Sections relating to ownership, licenses, platform exclusivity, anti-circumvention, enforcement, indemnification, limitation of liability, governing law, and accrued payment obligations shall survive termination.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Platform shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from Creator participation on the Platform.
13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware.
14. Amendments
The Platform may update this Agreement from time to time.
Continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement.
