Campaign Terms

1. When these terms apply

These additional terms apply when campaign participation is enabled in Disperse and you accept them. They supplement the Terms of Service and Content Policy. Preview campaigns, example rewards, and imported references are not offers of payment unless expressly identified as an active campaign with accepted terms.

For an external campaign linked from another service, that organiser's terms control participation and payment. Importing or summarising a brief does not transfer the campaign, its budget, or payment responsibility to Disperse.

2. The brief is the agreement for the work

Before accepting work, creators must be able to see the organiser, eligible platforms and territories, content requirements, source permissions, submission deadline, rate and currency, qualifying metric, measurement window, exclusions, payout caps, and review process.

A funded campaign must also state the budget rules, any fees or deductions, the payment provider or responsible payer, settlement timing, and what happens when the budget is exhausted. If a required detail is missing or unclear, obtain clarification before spending time or money on a submission.

Organisers must keep material terms clear and accurate. Changes apply prospectively; they must not retrospectively reduce an amount already earned under the accepted rules. A changed brief should identify which version applies to each submission.

3. Brand and organiser responsibilities

Organisers must have authority to run the campaign and license the supplied footage, music, logos, and other assets for the stated uses. They must provide accurate instructions, substantiate advertising claims, and identify necessary disclosures and restrictions.

Do not describe a campaign as funded unless the described funding arrangement is in place. Review submissions against the accepted brief consistently and in good faith. Explain rejections with reference to a specific requirement. Do not reject compliant work simply to avoid an earned payment.

4. Creator responsibilities

Creators must meet eligibility requirements, hold the necessary rights to added materials, follow the accepted brief, and submit accurate post links and supporting information. AI assistance does not replace checking the final clip.

Do not buy, fabricate, or manipulate views, engagement, identities, or submissions. Do not repost another creator's work without permission, submit duplicates contrary to the brief, or misrepresent audience location or performance.

Keep qualifying posts available for the duration stated in the brief unless removal is needed to comply with law or platform rules. Notify the organiser of material edits, takedowns, or account restrictions affecting a submission.

5. Views, RPM, and payment eligibility

Where a campaign pays an RPM, the starting calculation is eligible verified views ÷ 1,000 × the stated rate, subject to the accepted measurement period, caps, budget allocation, and disclosed fees. Views outside the stated criteria do not qualify.

A rate, estimate, pending balance, or submission count is not a promise of income. The brief must explain when earnings become final and payable. A high view count does not guarantee approval or a particular business outcome.

Creators must receive the applicable requirements before participating; undisclosed conditions must not be added afterwards to avoid payment. Any necessary payment-account or identity checks should be described before acceptance. Disperse does not promise a universal payout timetable or fee until those arrangements are expressly published.

6. Verification, disputes, and appeals

A submission may be checked for brief compliance, genuine traffic, duplication, and rights issues. If payment is held for a suspected issue, the affected person should receive a reason and a chance to supply relevant evidence, unless doing so would compromise a lawful investigation.

Contact the organiser first for brief-specific questions. For a Disperse campaign dispute, email team@disperse.video with the campaign, submission link, accepted rules, relevant dates, and requested outcome. We can review our own platform decisions. External organisers remain responsible for their external campaigns.

Any recovery of a payment must have a stated contractual or legal basis, such as demonstrated fraud or an actual payment error. This is not a general right to reverse earned rewards at will.

7. Rights to campaign content

A brief must say what rights the organiser grants creators and what rights it receives in finished work, including platforms, duration, territory, editing, reuse, attribution, and any use as a paid advertisement.

No blanket assignment of all creator content occurs merely by joining a campaign. Organisers must have rights to the source material, and creators retain pre-existing rights unless separately agreed. Permission to use music on one platform may not extend to another platform or to commercial advertising.

8. Advertising disclosures

Paid or incentivised content must be recognisable as advertising where required. Follow applicable advertising laws and the destination platform's branded-content rules. Use clear disclosures such as "Ad" or "Sponsored" where appropriate, positioned so viewers can readily notice them.

A footer link, profile-only disclosure, or statement buried in a brief does not replace disclosure in the actual content. Do not make false testimonials, invent personal experience, or publish unsupported product claims. Organisers must not instruct creators to hide sponsorship.

9. Campaign changes, closure, and records

The accepted brief must explain cancellation, unspent budgets, work already accepted, and submissions awaiting review. Closing a campaign does not by itself extinguish payment obligations already earned.

Keep records of accepted rules, approvals, and payouts. Each party is responsible for its own tax obligations as required by law. Campaign participation does not guarantee employment, a minimum amount of work, or exclusivity; any legal classification depends on the actual relationship and applicable law.

Mandatory consumer, employment, and other statutory rights prevail over any inconsistent campaign rule.
