Independent Streamer Agreement
Not yet in effect · under review
How the program is meant to work. This is a description, not a contract, and there is nothing to sign yet.
Under review. Not yet in effect.
This is a working draft being reviewed before it is adopted. Nothing on this page is a binding term today, and no part of the site asks you to agree to it. When it is in effect this notice is replaced by a date.
Published while it is still a draft on purpose: it is better that you can read where the terms are heading than that the page sits behind a login until the day it binds you.
01What this document is
A plain description of the program we are building, published while it is still being drafted so you can see the shape of it before you apply. It is not a contract. It names no parties, has no start date and no signature, and nothing on this page binds you or us. A real agreement will be put in front of you, in full, before you are ever asked to sign anything.
02The relationship
Independent streamers are not employees. You would keep your own channel, your own audience and your own brand, and your recordings would be yours. We would need permission to use clips of a session in our own marketing, and you would need permission to use our branding on your channel; both of those would be written down rather than assumed.
03What we would supply
The product you sell, and the packing, shipping and buyer support behind it. You would not be buying inventory or fronting anything.
04How you would be paid
A share of what your session sells, calculated after the platform's fees and after what the product cost us, so the split is on the margin rather than on the headline number. Every line of that calculation would be shown to you for every session.
05The actual numbersUndecided
Not yet set. There is no rate to quote you, because the split has not been decided, and we will not print a range we might not honour. When the numbers exist they will be published here rather than negotiated one applicant at a time.
06When payouts would runUndecided
Not yet set. There is no payment system behind this program today, so there is no schedule, no minimum and no method to describe. This is one of the things that has to exist before anyone streams.
07Booking a station
Nothing can be booked. No room is open, so there are no stations, no hours to hold and no schedule to join. Applying now puts you in a queue, and that is the only thing it does.
08What we would expect on stream
Describe product accurately, treat buyers and staff decently, and follow the rules of whichever platform you are on. If a card has a flaw, show it.
09Margin data
Showing you what product cost us means showing you our margin. Any real agreement would ask you to keep that to yourself, and would say so rather than rely on good manners.
10The parts that need a lawyerUndecided
Several, and they are the parts that matter most: which state's law applies and where a dispute is heard; tax treatment and the forms that go with contractor status; who absorbs a chargeback or a reversed sale after a payout has run; who carries the risk when high-value product is on a table in front of a camera; notice periods on either side; and limits on liability in both directions. None of these are drafted. They will be, before anyone signs.
3 sections of this document are marked undecided. Those are real gaps waiting on a decision, not drafting shorthand, and they are listed openly so nobody reads a placeholder as a term.
