Creator Agreement

Effective date: July 31, 2025 · Republished 24 August 2026 · Last updated 25 October 2026 (operated by Solutionize Tech, LLC)

1) Visibility & Safety Context (Summary)

• Public areas stay general-audience: Explore, public profiles and chat previews must meet our Public Surface standard. Public profile elements (for example avatar and banner) may appear publicly if they comply with our Standards.
• Protected previews: media you sell shows a protected preview, and the full content is viewable only after purchase.
• Pre-screening: All Uploaded Content is subject to automated screening before publication. Screening is applied to every upload, but no screening system detects every violation. Screening assigns signals and categories to content. Where particular signals or categories are present, screening may result in automated action, including restricting or removing the content and suspending or banning the account. An internal reviewer may additionally examine flagged content.

2) The Consent & License You Grant

You own your Media. This is a licence, not a transfer. You keep all ownership and copyright in your Media and your Likeness. Finsta acquires no ownership interest in anything you upload. Everything below is permission to do specific things with your Media so that the Platform can operate, and nothing more.

By checking the required boxes and clicking "I agree to the Creator Agreement" you grant Finsta the following permissions within the Platform and for compliance/safety:

2.1 Scope (Required)

A worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license, exercisable through service providers acting on our behalf, over your images, video, audio, and text that you upload (the "Media") and your name, display name/handle, likeness, and voice (your "Likeness") as they appear in the Media. The rights you grant are not the same for all Media: they depend on where the material is shown:

• Public profile elements: your display name/handle, avatar, banner and bio text, which must meet our Public Surface standard: to host, store, transcode, analyze (for safety/moderation), otherwise process, and display them inside the Platform and on Finsta's own marketing websites.
• Private Media (Media you sell or send in an Interaction): to host, store, encrypt, transcode, analyze (for safety/moderation), otherwise process, and transmit it to the individual recipient who obtains it through the Platform (including its protected preview to that recipient). Finsta will not display, publicly display or publicly perform Private Media on any public or general-access surface, and will not use it in marketing of any kind.
• Your Likeness: only so far as is needed to exercise the two rights above, and, off-platform, only if you separately opt in under Section 2.5.

and in each case solely to:

• operate and provide the Platform (including previews, product pages, in-app discovery/placement, and delivery to purchasers/recipients),
• enforce our Standards (including automated screening and, where warranted, internal review and investigation), and
• comply with legal and partner obligations.

These permissions are a licence only. They do not transfer ownership, do not permit Finsta to sell or sub-license your Media to any third party other than service providers acting on our behalf, and end when your Media is removed from the Platform, subject to any retention we are legally required to make.

2.2 Visibility Clarification

Public areas: Only public profile elements (e.g., avatar, banner, bio text) may appear publicly, if compliant.

Private areas: Private Media and its previews are protected inside Finsta and reach only the recipient who obtains the Media through the Platform. Finsta does not put Private Media on any public or general-access surface.

2.3 Duration

This license lasts while your account or Media remains on the Platform and, following deletion or closure, for the period reasonably necessary to: (i) complete ongoing transactions, chargeback/fraud reviews, or investigations; (ii) meet legal retention/audit duties; and (iii) maintain backups.

2.4 Promotions Inside the Platform (Required)

You permit Finsta to use your public profile elements (display name/handle, avatar, banner) and compliant product thumbnails inside the Platform for in-app discovery and search results.

How placement actually works, so there is no confusion: in-app Explore ranking is algorithmic: profiles are ordered by automated ranking signals, and Finsta does not hand-pick what appears in Explore. Separately, a small number of profiles are hand-selected by Finsta for display on Finsta's public marketing websites. Only public profile elements are used in that hand-selected display, and being hand-selected is not a promise of placement, earnings or continued display.

2.5 Optional: Off-Platform Marketing (Separate Box; Optional)

If you choose to opt in, you grant Finsta permission to use your public profile elements and any Media you choose to share for promotion off-platform (e.g., Finsta website landing pages, social channels, paid ads) to promote you or the Platform. You can withdraw this optional consent at any time in your app Settings or by contacting us (see Section 23, Notices & Contact, in our Terms & Conditions).

Limits that apply whether or not you opt in: Finsta will not use Private Media in off-platform marketing of any kind. Marketing creative, landing pages and the search terms and keywords used to promote the Platform will not suggest minors, non-consent, or any other category listed in our Community Guidelines.

Finsta's advertising is US-focused. Finsta will not direct off-platform marketing to any jurisdiction where the Platform's services are unlawful, and will not knowingly place advertising on surfaces targeted at such a jurisdiction.

3) Your Representations & Warranties (Required)

You confirm that:

• You are at least 18 (and of majority age in your location) and will complete the identity verification carried out by a third-party provider before any funds are released to you, as set out in our Identity Verification Policy. That verification is operated by the third party under its own terms and privacy policy, and may include a facial scan or other checks determined by that provider.
• You are the only person who appears in the Media you upload, or everyone else who appears has first been verified as a collaborator under our Identity Verification Policy. The same applies on your side of an Interaction: no one else may appear unless they are a verified collaborator. Until collaborator verification is available, no one other than you may appear. Media showing anyone who has not been verified as a collaborator is removed, related payouts are frozen, and the account is subject to termination (see our Identity Verification Policy).
• The Media is lawful, consensual, and compliant with Finsta's Standards as outlined in our Terms & Conditions, which you accepted upon sign-up (nothing involving minors, nothing shared without consent, no trafficking, and nothing else listed in our Community Guidelines).
• You are responsible for your own conduct in an Interaction and will comply with the laws that apply to you, as set out in Section 5A of the Terms & Conditions. If you think someone on Finsta may be under 18, you will stop the Interaction and report it.
• You will not upload Media that infringes others' rights (copyright, privacy, publicity) and you have all rights needed to grant the license in Section 2.
• You understand uploads are screened automatically and may be delayed, withheld or removed; violations may result in removal and account action.

4) Consent Management, Withdrawal & Appeals

Managing consent: You can remove specific Media at any time via the app; you may also withdraw optional off-platform marketing consent in your app Settings or by contacting us (see Section 23, Notices & Contact, in our Terms & Conditions).

Effect of withdrawal: Withdrawal stops future uses. It does not undo (a) deliveries already made to purchasers, (b) necessary retention for legal, safety, or chargeback reasons, or (c) archival backups.

Periodic reconfirmation: Finsta may prompt you to re-affirm consent periodically; failure to reconfirm may pause uploads/payouts until completed.

Appeals by people in your content: If someone says they appear in your Media without valid consent, we review it under Part B of our Complaints & Content Removal Policy and, where there is disagreement, allow it to be resolved by an independent body.

5) Data & Safety Processing

You acknowledge and consent to Finsta processing your Media and Likeness for:

• Moderation & safety: automated scanning by third-party content-safety tools (including text and metadata analysis) and internal review; viewing limits and protected previews;
• Fraud/chargeback prevention (e.g., device fingerprinting, velocity checks); and
• Compliance with applicable law and partner rules.

6) Agreements

Identity

I am at least 18 and of legal majority where I live. I will complete the identity verification carried out by Finsta’s third-party provider before any funds are released to me. I understand that verification is operated by the third party under its own terms and privacy policy, that it checks my identity and date of birth against a government-issued identity document and may include a facial scan or other checks determined by that provider, and that if I do not complete it I cannot receive payouts.

Ownership & Rights

I am the only person who appears in the content I upload, unless everyone else who appears has first been verified as a collaborator through Finsta, and no one else will appear on my side of an Interaction unless they are a verified collaborator. I understand that content showing anyone who has not been verified as a collaborator will be removed.

Media Licence (In-Platform)

I grant Finsta a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, encrypt, transcode, analyze for safety, and otherwise process my images, videos, audio, text, and Likeness on the Finsta Platform, consistent with Finsta's Standards. I understand this works in two different ways:

• My public profile elements (display name/handle, avatar, banner, bio), which must meet the Public Surface standard: Finsta may display them inside the Platform, including in in-app discovery, and on Finsta's own marketing websites.
• My Private Media: Finsta may deliver it, and its protected preview, to the individual recipient who obtains it through the Platform, and will not display it on any public or general-access surface or use it in marketing.

Visibility Clarification

I understand Private Media is not publicly visible and is accessible in full only to the consumer who purchases it; public profile elements may appear publicly if compliant.

Pre-Screening Acknowledgment

I understand every upload is subject to automated screening before publication, that no screening system detects every violation, and that my uploads may be delayed, restricted, or removed for safety, legal, or policy reasons.

Lawful Interactions

I am responsible for my own conduct in an Interaction, and I will comply with the laws that apply to me. If I think someone on Finsta may be under 18, or that an Interaction may involve exploitation, trafficking or someone acting under pressure, I will stop the Interaction and report it. I understand that screening does not relieve me of this responsibility and that I remain responsible and liable for my own conduct, as set out in Section 5A of the Terms & Conditions.

Optional: Off-Platform Marketing Consent (separate, optional)

I consent to Finsta using my public profile images, Likeness, display name and any Media I choose to share for promotion off-platform (e.g., website, social media, paid ads) to promote me or Finsta. I understand Finsta will not use Private Media in off-platform marketing, and will not direct off-platform marketing to any jurisdiction where the Platform's services are unlawful. I can withdraw this optional consent at any time in Settings or by contacting Finsta.
