4. Creative Requirements and Verification
4.1 EON Insurance Requirement: All Creatives must maintain valid EON (Entertainment Industry) insurance coverage and provide proof of coverage during verification.
4.2 Content Rights: Creatives must be able to grant Spaidz an available digital streaming license for each title they upload. Owning the copyright or “film rights” is not sufficient if exclusive AVOD, TVOD, SVOD, FAST, airline, or territorial rights have already been granted to another party for a term. Required documentation includes:
- Chain of title documentation
- Rights ownership declarations confirming an available digital streaming license
- Copyright registration (where applicable)
- Third-party license agreements
- Confirmation that digital streaming rights for the listed territories and windows are available (not exclusively licensed elsewhere)
4.3 Content Quality Standards: All uploaded content must meet technical standards including:
- Minimum HD resolution (1080p or higher)
- Professional audio quality
- Industry-standard encoding formats
- No visual or audio defects
4.4 Verification Process: Creatives must complete the verification process including:
- Confirmation of an available digital streaming license
- Quality standards compliance
- EON insurance verification
- Legal and distribution agreements
4.5 Content Guidelines: All content must comply with Spaidz content guidelines and applicable laws.
5. Consumer Payout Incentive (CPI) Program - Legal Compliance Notice
5.1 CPI Overview: Creatives may allocate a budget to pay Consumers who fully watch their content. This is NOT a gambling, lottery, or sweepstakes program.
5.2 Guaranteed Payouts: CPI payments are GUARANTEED to every Consumer who completes qualifying content. There is NO element of chance, randomness, or lottery involved.
5.3 No Gambling Elements: This platform explicitly avoids all gambling law violations by ensuring:
- Every qualifying viewer receives payment (no random selection)
- No entry fees beyond standard subscription
- No chance-based or lottery-style distributions
- Complete transparency in all payout terms
5.4 Eligibility Requirements: To receive CPI payments, Consumers must:
- Maintain an active subscription
- Complete the full duration of qualifying content
- Meet any specific requirements set by the Creative
- Not engage in fraudulent viewing practices
5.5 Subscription Fee Transparency: The standard subscription fee provides access to the entire content library. CPI payments are additional incentives from Creatives, not the primary purpose of the subscription.
5.6 Payout Security: CPI is paid in US dollars. Consumers withdraw available CPI to a US bank account through Stripe or to PayPal. Spaidz does not pay CPI in cryptocurrency. Stripe and PayPal process those transfers. Spaidz keeps records of CPI earnings and payouts to operate the program, prevent fraud, and meet tax obligations.
5.7 Payment Processing: CPI payments are automated and processed within 24-48 hours of content completion.
5.8 Tax Responsibilities: Consumers are responsible for reporting CPI earnings as income for tax purposes. Spaidz will provide necessary tax documentation (1099 forms) for earnings exceeding $600 annually.
5.9 Payment Limits: CPI amounts are set by Creatives and may vary by content. Spaidz reserves the right to set maximum CPI limits.
5.10 Fraud Prevention: Spaidz monitors for fraudulent viewing patterns and reserves the right to withhold payments for suspicious activity.
5.11 Legal Compliance: This CPI program is designed to comply with all applicable federal and state laws, including gambling regulations, consumer protection laws, and sweepstakes requirements.
6. Content Ownership and Licenses
6.1 Creative Content: Creatives retain ownership of their uploaded content but grant Spaidz a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to:
- Display, stream, and distribute content on the platform
- Process content for technical requirements
- Use content for promotional purposes
- Store content on secure servers
6.2 Revenue Sharing: Under the User Percentage (UP) model, Creatives earn 70% of net subscription revenue (after applicable third-party app-store fees, such as Apple's in-app purchase commission on App Store subscriptions), allocated by completed viewership share among Creatives. CPI (Consumer Payout Incentive) is separate optional marketing spend funded by Creatives to reward Consumers who fully watch qualifying content; CPI does not reduce UP subscription-share earnings. UP amounts accrue as described in the app and appear in your Creative dashboard. Withdrawals or transfers of UP amounts to your US bank (Stripe Connect), a saved PayPal email (USD), or an eligible debit payout method (when offered) are subject to a waiting period of 90 calendar days from the last calendar day of the applicable earnings month, measured in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), so consumer subscription funds can settle before payout.
6.3 Content Removal: Creatives may request removal of their own titles at any time through Content management in the app or by contacting Support@Spaidz.com.
When you request removal:
- Your title will be removed from browse, search, and discovery feeds within 48 hours.
- Viewers who already started watching may finish their current session; new full views and new CPI accrual for that title will stop once delisting takes effect.
- Complete removal from Spaidz storage and streaming CDNs may take up to 30 days from your request.
- Residual edge caches may take up to an additional 48 hours to clear after deactivation.
- CPI budgets already allocated to that title are non-refundable.
Spaidz reserves the right to remove content immediately that violates these Terms, applicable law, or the Acceptable Use Policy.
6.4 Platform Content: All other content on Spaidz is owned by or licensed to Spaidz and protected by intellectual property laws.
6.5 Catalog Term and Continuation: After QC approval, a title remains available on Spaidz for one year. The first year is included in the applicable Submission Review Fee. Continuation is not automatic. Spaidz will notify the Creative before the year ends (typically 60, 30, and 14 days prior). If the title had meaningful watch activity during that year — including UP Pay accrual, completed views, or an active CPI plan — Spaidz waives the continuation fee for the next year. If the title had no meaningful watch activity, the Creative may keep it stored and available by paying a catalog continuation fee of $399 USD per title per year. If the Creative does not renew, Spaidz will delist the title from browse, search, and discovery. Files may be retained for up to 30 days after delisting so the Creative can renew or request a copy, then may be deleted. This catalog term does not limit Spaidz’s right to remove content for rights issues, applicable law, or the Acceptable Use Policy, and does not limit the Creative’s right to request removal under Section 6.3. Catalog continuation fees are non-refundable once the new year of availability begins.
