Terms of Service

Updated this week

Artec Studio, Inc.
Effective Date: April 13, 2026
Last Updated: April 13, 2026

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Artec platform, including our websites, creator and brand dashboards, mobile applications, messaging tools, content submission flows, analytics features, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”).

By creating an account, accessing the Platform, or using any Artec service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use Artec.

2. What Artec Is

Artec is a managed creator marketplace that helps brands, creators, and agencies work together on short-form content campaigns. Depending on your role, the Platform may allow you to:

  • Create and manage an account

  • Discover or evaluate creators

  • Connect social accounts and sync public content metrics

  • Send, receive, accept, or decline campaign invites

  • Set deal terms, deliverables, timelines, and compensation

  • Submit, review, approve, or request revisions on content

  • Process payouts and fees through third-party payment providers

  • Access messaging, analytics, and performance reporting

Artec is a platform provider. Unless we expressly say otherwise in writing, Artec is not a party to the underlying creative services relationship between a brand and a creator.

3. Eligibility and Accounts

You may use Artec only if you can form a legally binding agreement with us and are legally permitted to use the Platform under applicable law.

You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete registration information

  • Keep your login credentials secure

  • Promptly update any information that becomes inaccurate

  • Accept responsibility for activity that occurs under your account

You may not share accounts, impersonate another person or entity, or create accounts using false, misleading, or unauthorized information.

3.1 Brand Accounts

Brand accounts are for businesses and authorized representatives seeking to source creator content, launch campaigns, and manage deal activity.

3.2 Creator Accounts

Creator accounts are for individuals or authorized business entities that create, submit, and manage content opportunities and receive payouts.

3.3 Agency Accounts

Agency accounts are for agencies or managers acting on behalf of brands or creators with proper authority to do so.

If you use Artec on behalf of a company, brand, or agency, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

4. Marketplace Rules

Artec is designed to support on-platform collaboration. Users must engage honestly and in good faith.

You agree not to:

  • Provide false, outdated, or misleading profile, business, payment, or campaign information

  • Use the Platform for unlawful, deceptive, exploitative, or abusive conduct

  • Circumvent Artec’s fee structure, payout flows, or campaign records

  • Solicit or pressure other users to move deal execution or payment off-platform to avoid fees or monitoring

  • Manipulate rankings, creator scores, applications, views, engagement data, or review systems

  • Scrape, copy, resell, or harvest Platform data without written authorization

  • Upload malware, malicious code, or any content intended to disrupt the Platform

  • Harass, threaten, discriminate against, or intimidate other users

Additional operational rules may appear in our separate policy articles, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference.

5. Campaign Invites, Acceptance, and Deal Records

Artec is a managed marketplace. Deal-specific terms are generally captured in Platform records rather than separate negotiated paper contracts.

For each campaign or creator engagement, Artec may store:

  • Deliverables

  • Compensation terms

  • Timing requirements

  • Approval or revision status

  • Messaging history

  • Acceptance timestamps and related audit fields

When a creator accepts a campaign or invite through the Platform, that action may serve as the binding record of the parties’ agreement to the deal terms presented in Artec at that time. Users are responsible for reviewing campaign terms carefully before accepting or approving them.

6. Payments, Fees, and Payouts

Artec facilitates certain financial flows through third-party providers such as Stripe. By using those features, you also agree to the applicable payment processor terms.

You understand and agree that:

  • Brands may be required to maintain a valid payment method and fund deposits, wallet balances, or campaign charges before work proceeds

  • Creators may be required to complete payout onboarding and tax or identity verification before receiving funds

  • Platform fees, processing fees, and payout deductions may apply, as disclosed in the product or applicable policy

  • Artec may place holds, delay payouts, reverse credits, or suspend disbursements where needed to investigate fraud, failed payments, chargebacks, suspected abuse, or policy violations

  • Credits, wallet balances, or prepaid campaign deposits may be non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated otherwise

More detail is provided in the Payment Policy and Cancellation and Refund Policy.

7. Creator Content and User Content

Users may upload or transmit text, briefs, videos, media files, comments, ratings, and other materials through the Platform (“User Content”).

You retain ownership of the User Content you own. However, by submitting User Content to Artec, you grant Artec a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, display, and transmit that content as needed to operate, improve, secure, and support the Platform.

If you are a creator, the usage rights you grant to a brand are determined by the deal terms accepted on the Platform. If you are a brand, you are responsible for using creator content only as permitted by those deal terms and applicable law.

You represent and warrant that:

  • You own or control the rights necessary to upload and use the content

  • Your content does not infringe or violate any third-party rights

  • Your content is accurate and not intentionally misleading

8. Artec Score, Rankings, and Platform Data

Artec may use internal scoring, ranking, matching, analytics, fraud detection, and recommendation systems, including AI-assisted analysis, to operate the marketplace. These systems may evaluate content quality, engagement signals, submission history, campaign fit, responsiveness, or other signals.

Scores, rankings, or recommendations are provided for Platform purposes only. Artec does not guarantee:

  • That any user will receive a specific score, ranking, or opportunity

  • That any recommendation will lead to engagement, payment, or performance results

  • That analytics or AI outputs will be error-free or suitable for any legal, business, or professional decision without independent review

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue scoring or recommendation systems at any time.

9. Communications

By using Artec, you consent to receive service-related communications from us, including account notices, security alerts, campaign updates, payment notifications, and support messages. Where permitted by law, we may also send product, marketing, or promotional communications, which you can opt out of where applicable.

We may monitor, log, or retain Platform communications for safety, support, fraud prevention, quality assurance, or legal compliance.

10. Third-Party Services

Artec may integrate with third-party services such as Stripe, Firebase, TikTok, Instagram, email providers, analytics providers, and messaging services. Your use of those integrations may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies.

Artec is not responsible for the availability, policies, content, or actions of third-party services.

11. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the Platform at any time, with or without notice, if we believe:

  • You violated these Terms or a related policy

  • You created legal, payment, fraud, safety, or reputational risk

  • Your use of the Platform could harm Artec, other users, or the public

  • We are required to do so by law or by a third-party provider

You may stop using the Platform at any time. Termination does not eliminate obligations that arose before termination, including payment obligations, licensing rights already granted, dispute obligations, or provisions that by their nature should survive termination.

12. Disclaimers

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ARTEC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.

Artec does not guarantee campaign success, creator performance, brand satisfaction, content performance, payment timing beyond processor and system constraints, or uninterrupted access to the Platform.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ARTEC STUDIO, INC. AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ARTEC’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PLATFORM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:

  • THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO ARTEC IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR

  • $100 USD

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Artec Studio, Inc. and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from or related to:

  • Your use of the Platform

  • Your User Content

  • Your campaigns, services, or creator deliverables

  • Your violation of these Terms or applicable law

  • Your infringement of any third-party rights

15. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

Before filing a formal claim, you agree to contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, Artec may require disputes arising from these Terms or use of the Platform to be resolved through binding arbitration, except where prohibited by law or where claims may properly be brought in small claims court.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we may provide notice by posting the revised Terms, updating the date above, or using other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Platform after the revised Terms become effective means you accept the updated Terms.
