Openline Creator Terms

Version 1.0 · These terms apply when you join the Openline creator program. The rates below are the current program defaults; the rates that apply to you are the ones in effect when your application is approved, and they stay yours unless we agree a change with you.

1. The programs

Pay-per-view: $1 per 1,000 verified views on a qualifying video, capped at $100 per video. Views are counted from the platform's public counter once the video is 30 days old — so a video posted late in a month still gets its full first month of views — and the payout lands in the next monthly payout run.
First-video bonus: a one-off $25 bonus is added to your first verified video.
Affiliate: your referral code gives new users 30 days of Openline premium free. You earn 20% of subscription payments made by users who signed up with your code, calculated net of app-store fees.

2. Qualifying videos

Only videos that meet the qualification checklist are paid. The current checklist is shown on the signup page and your creator dashboard, and each criterion is reviewed per video — if a video doesn't qualify, your dashboard shows exactly which criteria it missed.
Paid videos must stay publicly available for at least 12 months after posting. We check this automatically; if a paid video disappears early without an agreed reason (e.g. a platform strike outside your control), we may reclaim the payout or deduct it from your next one.
Submit each video via your creator dashboard within 7 days of posting.

3. Content rights — both ways

You keep full ownership of every video you create.
For qualifying videos, you grant Openline a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to feature the video on Openline's website, social accounts and marketing materials, and to promote it as paid advertising — including boosting, Spark Ads / branded-content ads and allowlisting on your platform where that requires your authorization, which you agree to grant through the platform's tools when we ask.
We'll always credit your handle, and we'll never edit a video in a way that changes its meaning without checking with you first.
You may show your Openline work in your own portfolio and use the Openline name and logo to describe the collaboration accurately.

4. Disclosure & content standards

Always disclose the partnership (#ad or the platform's branded-content tool) and follow your platform's rules and local advertising law.
Follow the brand guardrails: no gender-war framing, no medical or therapy claims, no divorce-scare content, no real private conflicts without both partners' consent. Openline complements therapy — it doesn't replace it.

5. Payments

Balances are paid monthly once they reach $25; smaller balances roll over to the next month.
You're responsible for your own taxes. We may withhold payment on activity that looks fraudulent (fake views, self-referrals, incentivized signups) while we investigate.

6. Referral integrity

Referral codes are for your genuine audience. No self-referrals, no paid-ads arbitrage on the code itself, no coupon-site posting.

7. Term & changes

Either side can end the collaboration at any time by email; earned balances are still paid out on the normal schedule, and the content license in section 3 survives for videos already published.
If we change these terms or your rates, we'll tell you by email before the change applies to you — your existing agreed rates don't change retroactively.
