1. Single-Merchant Agency Model

The parties agree that, during the launch phase:

• Tribute.tips operates as a single-merchant business.
• Each Creator Profile is a Company-controlled presentation of services offered and sold by the Company.
• The Company is the sole seller and contracting party for every booking and Tribute.
• The Company sets or approves offers and prices, accepts Follower payments into its own Stripe account, issues receipts, administers refunds and disputes, and controls the Follower relationship.
• You perform assigned services for or on behalf of the Company under this Agreement and any applicable Engagement Document.
• You are not a separate marketplace seller, payment facilitator, Stripe connected account holder, or owner of a Follower payment by reason of operating or appearing on a Creator Profile.

You must not state or imply that a Follower is paying you directly, that Tribute.tips holds Follower money in escrow for you, or that you have a right to withdraw a percentage of a booking or Tribute from the Service.

2. No Creator Stripe Account, Balance, or Withdrawal Right

The Company will not create or integrate a separate Stripe payout account for you under this Agreement. The Service does not provide you with:

• a Stripe connected account;
• a payment or stored-value account;
• a wallet, escrow account, or trust account;
• a Creator-owned transaction balance;
• a right to withdraw Follower funds; or
• an ownership or creditor interest in any booking payment or Tribute.

All amounts paid by Followers through the Service are Company receipts. A Tribute is an optional gratuity paid to the Company after the Company has provided a bona fide service, not a personal gift or transfer to you and not consideration for extra content, access, attention, a future service, or another benefit.

Any compensation the Company owes you is governed only by an applicable Engagement Document and ordinary payroll or accounts-payable procedures. Even if an Engagement Document calculates compensation by reference to Company revenue or activity, every Follower payment remains a Company receipt and any compensation is paid separately; it does not create a transaction split, Stripe transfer, platform balance, or withdrawal. If no Engagement Document promises compensation for a particular activity, this Agreement alone does not create that promise. Nothing in this Agreement authorizes the Company to retain an amount that applicable wage or tip law requires it to distribute.

The Company may account internally for revenue, costs, refunds, performance, or compensation. An internal dashboard entry is informational only and does not create a bank account, stored value, escrow, or withdrawal right.

3. Future Stripe Connect or Independent-Creator Model

This Agreement does not authorize independent third-party selling or Stripe Connect payouts. Before you may act as an independent seller, receive platform-allocated proceeds, or connect a payout account, the Company must:

• approve that model in writing;
• provide new or amended commercial, payment, data-sharing, fee, refund, dispute, tax, and payout terms;
• complete any Stripe or other payment-provider onboarding and verification;
• obtain your separate affirmative acceptance; and
• make any operational and legal changes required for that model.

You have no expectation that the Company will introduce or offer that model.

4. Scope of Creator Services

You will provide only the services, offers, content, profile activity, and administrative tasks the Company authorizes in writing or through its approved systems (Creator Services).

Creator Services may include non-clinical guidance, mentorship, educational discussion, creative feedback, question-and-answer sessions, or other Company-approved services. You may not expand the scope, sell a different service, make an undisclosed offer, or accept payment outside Company systems without written authorization.

An Engagement Document may specify duties, schedule, deliverables, performance standards, location, tools, reporting, exclusivity, compensation, expenses, benefits, or classification. If this Agreement directly conflicts with an Engagement Document on compensation, benefits, worker classification, or an expressly negotiated work term, the Engagement Document controls for that subject. This Agreement controls platform, profile, Follower-data, payment-flow, conduct, and compliance matters unless the later document expressly states otherwise.

5. Profile Accuracy and Company Control

You must provide accurate, current, and supportable information about:

• your legal and display names;
• age and identity;
• credentials, licenses, education, experience, specialties, and affiliations;
• service descriptions, duration, availability, time zone, and delivery method;
• images, biography, links, contact methods, testimonials, and public claims; and
• any fact that could materially affect a Follower’s decision.

You must promptly correct information that becomes inaccurate. You may not use false credentials, purchased reviews, deceptive testimonials, unauthorized images, misleading claims, or a name or likeness you lack permission to use.

The Company owns and controls the Tribute.tips domain, profile URL, page layout, offer approval, pricing display, moderation status, and publication decision. We may edit formatting, require substantiation, reject changes, add disclosures, unpublish material, reassign bookings, or suspend a Creator Profile for quality, safety, legal, payment, brand, or operational reasons. We will not knowingly alter a factual claim in a way that makes it false.

6. Offers, Pricing, and Availability

You may propose an offer, rate, schedule, or custom response, but the Company has final authority to approve what is displayed and sold.

You agree to:

• maintain accurate availability;
• avoid double booking;
• disclose known scheduling conflicts promptly;
• honor the duration, scope, and delivery method shown to the Follower;
• use Company-approved time zones and scheduling records; and
• avoid hidden, added, or off-platform charges.

You may not promise a discount, refund, credit, upgrade, or additional paid service on the Company’s behalf without authorization.

7. Booking Response and Fulfillment

When the Company assigns or routes an authorized booking request to you, you must respond within the period shown by the Service, generally up to 24 hours and sometimes sooner when the requested session begins earlier.

Before accepting, confirm that you can:

• provide the service as described;
• attend at the scheduled time;
• use the stated delivery method;
• satisfy any lawful qualification or location requirement; and
• avoid a known conflict of interest or safety risk.

Once accepted, you must prepare reasonably, appear on time, provide the full authorized service professionally, and promptly document completion or any delivery problem through Company systems.

If you cannot fulfill a confirmed booking, notify the Company immediately. Do not ask the Follower to cancel on your behalf or misstate the reason. The Company may reassign, reschedule, refund, or otherwise resolve the booking.

8. Follower Communications

Use booking-linked messaging and Company-approved communication methods only for legitimate coordination, fulfillment, safety, and support.

You must not:

• request or accept off-platform payment;
• move a transaction to another merchant or undisclosed business;
• pressure a Follower to send a Tribute, leave a positive review, or withdraw a complaint;
• promise special access, content, attention, or a service in exchange for a Tribute;
• use a Follower relationship to solicit unrelated business without written Company and Follower authorization;
• send spam, deceptive promotions, sexual content, harassment, threats, or discriminatory material;
• request full card details, bank credentials, Social Security numbers, government identification, passwords, or unnecessary medical information; or
• represent that a communication is privileged or confidential in a professional, medical, legal, fiduciary, or therapeutic sense.

Messaging is not an emergency or crisis channel. Escalate threats of imminent harm or other emergencies under Company safety procedures and applicable law.

9. Prohibited Services and Conduct

You may not use a Creator Profile, offer, booking request, custom request, session, message, review, Tribute, or arrangement initiated through the Service to offer, request, advertise, arrange, provide, purchase, or facilitate:

• prostitution, escort services, sexual services, sexual massage, fetish services or fulfillment, adult live chat or video, paid companionship intended for sexual gratification, pornography, or sexually explicit text, imagery, audio, video, performance, roleplay, instruction, or other material intended for arousal or sexual gratification, including AI-generated or materially altered content;
• sexual exploitation, sexual content involving a person under 18, or any attempt to sexualize, groom, solicit, or endanger a minor;
• medical diagnosis or treatment, telemedicine or telehealth, psychotherapy, crisis care, legal advice or representation, investment or trading advice, cryptocurrency advice or signals, lending, credit repair or counseling, debt relief, settlement, consolidation, or collection, mortgage consulting, escrow, money transmission, currency exchange, or another regulated professional or financial service;
• matchmaking, arranging romantic introductions, or operating an online dating service;
• gambling, betting, lotteries, raffles, sweepstakes, fantasy sports, tournaments, contests, auctions, forecasting, or other activity involving an entry fee or a monetary or material prize;
• illegal drugs, cannabis or marijuana products, CBD products, drug-production or cultivation instruction, tobacco or vaping products, weapons, explosives, dangerous materials, counterfeit goods, infringing material, fake identification or documents, or unlawful violence or physical harm;
• pyramid or multilevel-marketing schemes, get-rich-quick programs, guaranteed-result schemes, fake or deceptive testimonials, misleading or high-pressure upselling, hidden or negative-option pricing, document-falsification services, or the sale of followers, traffic, or engagement;
• crowdfunding, charitable fundraising, undisclosed donations, personal gifts, peer-to-peer transfers, cash advances, cash equivalents, stored value, gift cards, virtual credits, Creator balances, withdrawals, or payments collected for another person or merchant;
• exclusive Creator content or digital goods, pay-per-view access, content or message unlocks, or content-related payments other than a Tribute permitted under the Terms of Service;
• discrimination, exploitation, stalking, harassment, doxing, threats, violence, trafficking, or abuse;
• fake credentials, fake or manipulated reviews, undisclosed conflicts, or misleading claims;
• unauthorized recordings or surveillance; or
• any product, content, service, transaction, or business that Stripe identifies as prohibited, or as restricted unless the Company has received any required written approval and has expressly authorized the activity in writing.

These categories are illustrative, not exhaustive. The Company may reject or remove content, cancel or refund transactions, restrict features, reassign bookings, or suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary to comply with law, Stripe or card-network requirements, Company policy, or risk controls.

Non-explicit sessions may address dating, communication, relationships, general wellbeing, mentorship, creative feedback, or education only in a general informational manner. They may not include nudity, erotic roleplay, sexualized interaction, fetish fulfillment, explicit sexual instruction or conversation, or material intended for arousal or sexual gratification. General discussion of wellbeing is not permission to diagnose or treat a physical or mental-health condition. If a Follower requires emergency, clinical, legal, financial, or other regulated assistance, make no professional recommendation beyond directing the Follower to seek an appropriately qualified resource.

10. Privacy, Confidentiality, and Follower Data

Follower information, private messages, booking details, transaction status, support information, Company operations, security controls, nonpublic analytics, and other nonpublic information are Confidential Information.

You agree to:

• access only the information reasonably needed for assigned Creator Services;
• use Follower information only to fulfill and administer authorized Tribute.tips services;
• keep credentials confidential and use multi-factor authentication where offered;
• use secure, updated, access-controlled devices and approved systems;
• avoid downloading, exporting, copying, printing, or locally storing Follower data unless the Company authorizes it;
• never sell Follower information, build a separate Follower list from it, or use it for independent advertising;
• avoid sharing information with another person or service except as authorized;
• follow the Company’s Privacy Policy, retention rules, access instructions, and security procedures;
• cooperate with verified privacy requests, investigations, litigation holds, and breach response;
• return or securely delete Company and Follower information when instructed or when access ends; and
• maintain confidentiality after this Agreement ends.

If you suspect lost credentials, device loss, phishing, malware, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse, notify the Company immediately and, whenever feasible, within 24 hours. Preserve relevant evidence and do not notify a Follower, regulator, press outlet, or other outside party unless the Company authorizes it or law requires you to do so.

You may not record a session without the Follower’s prior express consent, the Company’s written approval, and compliance with all applicable recording and privacy laws.

The Company—not the Creator Profile—controls the processing of Follower information and administers the Follower relationship for launch operations. Nothing here gives you ownership of Follower personal information or limits a Follower’s privacy rights.

Nothing in this Agreement prohibits a good-faith report to a regulator, law-enforcement agency, attorney, or other legally protected recipient; participation in an investigation; discussion of wages or working conditions where protected by law; or another activity that applicable law protects. You do not need Company permission to make a legally protected report.

11. Payments, Refunds, Disputes, and Cooperation

The Company has final authority over checkout, payment authorization and capture, the 10% Follower platform booking service fee, receipts, fraud review, refunds, cancellations, chargebacks, and card disputes. For ordinary bookings, the Company authorizes the displayed checkout total when the Follower submits the request and captures it only after you accept through the Service. If you decline or do not timely accept, the Company cancels the authorization rather than capturing it. A Follower may automatically cancel until one minute before the scheduled start, in which case the full checkout total is canceled or refunded under the Terms of Service.

You must:

• provide prompt, truthful records concerning booking acceptance and delivery;
• preserve relevant scheduling and communication evidence;
• cooperate with a refund, fraud, complaint, or dispute investigation;
• not contact a bank, card network, or Stripe on the Company’s behalf without authorization; and
• not retaliate against a Follower for requesting support, a refund, or a lawful card dispute.

The Company may reschedule or refund a transaction when it reasonably determines that the service was not or cannot be delivered, the charge was unauthorized or erroneous, law or card-network rules require it, or another fair resolution is appropriate.

Whether a refund affects your compensation is governed only by an Engagement Document and applicable wage, contractor, and other law. Nothing in this Agreement authorizes an unlawful wage deduction or makes you personally liable for an ordinary customer refund. This does not protect fraud, theft, intentional misconduct, or liability validly established under separate law or agreement.

12. Reviews, Complaints, and Quality

You must not create, purchase, manipulate, improperly influence, condition, or retaliate over a review. You may report a review that you believe is fraudulent, abusive, irrelevant, unlawful, or discloses private information.

Where the Service permits, you may publish or unpublish an eligible Follower review but may not edit the Follower’s words or rating. The Company may moderate reviews under its policies.

You must respond promptly and honestly to quality or conduct inquiries. We may observe operational metrics, review Follower complaints, require remediation or training, reassign bookings, restrict offers, or suspend a profile.

13. Intellectual Property and Publicity

13.1 Your materials

As between you and the Company, you retain ownership of original photographs, biography text, trademarks, course materials, and other content you own and provide (Creator Materials).

You grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, reproduce, crop, format, adapt, transmit, display, distribute, and promote Creator Materials and your approved professional name, likeness, image, voice, and biography:

• to operate, market, secure, archive, and improve Tribute.tips;
• to present and fulfill Creator Services;
• in Company-controlled advertising and social promotion relating to Tribute.tips or your approved profile; and
• through vendors acting for the Company.

The license continues during the Agreement and for a reasonable wind-down and archival period afterward. The Company may retain transaction, legal, compliance, and historical records as required. Any broader paid advertising, merchandising, or unrelated use must be authorized by an Engagement Document or separate written approval.

This license does not authorize the Company to create a synthetic voice, digital replica, or materially altered AI-generated version of your identity. Any such use requires a separate, specific written consent.

You represent that you have all rights and releases needed for Creator Materials and that our authorized use will not infringe another person’s rights.

13.2 Company materials

The Company owns or licenses the Tribute.tips software, domain, branding, profile templates, booking workflows, analytics, transaction records, Follower lists, policies, and Company-created content. Except for limited access needed to perform Creator Services, you receive no ownership right in Company materials.

13.3 Follower materials

Follower messages, reviews, and other Follower content remain subject to the Follower’s rights and the Company’s terms. You receive only the limited access needed for authorized services and may not republish Follower content without permission.

14. Status, Authority, Taxes, and Insurance

Your status as an owner, employee, contractor, agent, talent, or other provider is determined by applicable law and any Engagement Document, not merely by the title Creator or by this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement:

• gives you authority to bind the Company, sign a contract, incur a debt, make a warranty, issue a refund, or speak publicly for the Company without authorization;
• creates a partnership or joint venture;
• changes wage, benefit, tax, or worker-classification rights established by law; or
• guarantees any minimum number of bookings, hours, revenue, compensation, or term of engagement.

You are responsible for taxes, licenses, permits, insurance, and professional obligations allocated to you by law and an Engagement Document. The Company is responsible for obligations the law places on it.

15. Compliance, Credentials, and Conflicts

You must maintain every license, permit, certification, insurance policy, and consent required for an approved Creator Service and provide proof upon reasonable request.

Promptly disclose:

• a lapse, restriction, investigation, disciplinary action, or complaint concerning a relevant credential;
• a criminal, regulatory, sanctions, or civil matter reasonably related to safety, honesty, payment eligibility, or the Creator Services, to the extent lawful to request;
• a conflict of interest affecting a Follower or booking;
• an inability to perform an accepted service; or
• a change that makes your profile materially inaccurate.

The Company may conduct lawful verification and may condition access on accurate information and successful compliance review.

16. Records and Audit Cooperation

Use Company systems to document availability, acceptance, fulfillment, cancellation, complaints, and material Follower communications. Do not falsify, backdate, delete, or conceal relevant records.

On reasonable request, provide records needed to verify performance, resolve a complaint or payment dispute, comply with law, or protect the Service. This Section does not require disclosure of legally privileged material or information you are prohibited from providing.

17. Term, Suspension, and Termination

This Agreement begins when you accept it and continues until ended under this Section or an Engagement Document.

Either party may end the Agreement by written notice, subject to any valid notice, work, or payment obligation in an Engagement Document or applicable law. The Company may immediately suspend profile access, new bookings, Follower communications, or Creator Services while investigating a security, safety, payment, legal, quality, or policy concern.

The Company may terminate immediately for material breach, fraud, theft, violence, harassment, prohibited services, misuse of Follower data, false credentials, unlawful conduct, repeated nonperformance, payment circumvention, or conduct creating substantial risk.

After suspension or termination:

• stop accessing the Service and Follower information except as expressly authorized;
• return or securely delete Company and Follower data as directed;
• cooperate in reassigning or resolving pending bookings;
• stop using Company credentials, marks, and systems;
• preserve records subject to a legal hold or Company instruction; and
• continue to comply with provisions that by their nature survive.

Accrued compensation, if any, will be handled under the Engagement Document and applicable law. Termination does not create a right to Follower payments, a platform balance, or a withdrawal.

18. Creator Representations and Indemnification

You represent that:

• you can lawfully enter this Agreement;
• the information and Creator Materials you provide are accurate and authorized;
• you will perform Creator Services professionally and lawfully;
• your performance will not violate another agreement or right; and
• you will comply with applicable law, this Agreement, Company policy, and approved instructions.

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its owners, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from your fraud, willful misconduct, unlawful or unauthorized services, material breach, infringement, or misuse of Follower information.

This Section does not require indemnification for the Company’s own negligence, willful misconduct, legal violation, or obligations that applicable employment or other law prohibits shifting to you.

19. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Company does not guarantee a minimum number of views, bookings, Tributes, hours, revenue, or compensation. Service availability, payment-provider approval, and Follower demand may change.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable to the other under this Agreement for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages or lost profits, except where the loss results from fraud, willful misconduct, misuse of Confidential Information, infringement, or liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company’s aggregate liability under this Agreement will not exceed the greater of five hundred U.S. dollars (US $500) or the compensation the Company paid you under the applicable Engagement Document during the six months before the event giving rise to the claim. This cap does not limit an obligation to pay earned compensation, liability for the Company’s fraud or willful misconduct, or liability that applicable law does not permit the Company to limit.

20. Governing Law and Courts

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that mandatory employment, contractor, wage, privacy, and other laws applicable where you live or perform services continue to apply.

Any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement that is not resolved informally must be brought in a Delaware state court with proper jurisdiction or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue there, except where applicable law provides a non-waivable right to proceed elsewhere.

This Agreement does not require arbitration and does not waive any right to participate in a class or collective action.

21. General Terms

Notices. Notices to the Company must be sent to legal@tribute.tips and any additional address stated in an Engagement Document. Notices to you may be sent to the email or account contact on file. A legal notice is effective as provided by applicable law and any Engagement Document.

Changes. We may update platform-wide requirements by providing reasonable notice and obtaining renewed acceptance where required. We will not retroactively reduce earned compensation through an online policy change.

Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement or delegate Creator Services without written Company approval. The Company may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or transfer of Tribute.tips, subject to applicable law and any Engagement Document.

Entire agreement. This Agreement and applicable Engagement Documents form the entire agreement on their subjects and replace prior discussions on those subjects.

Relationship to platform Terms. If you also use the Service as an account holder, the Terms of Service apply to that general use. This Agreement controls your Creator-specific profile, service, Follower-data, conduct, and payment-flow obligations. An Engagement Document controls only as stated in Section 4.

No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

Severability. An unenforceable provision will be enforced to the greatest lawful extent and the remainder will continue.

Counterparts and electronic acceptance. This Agreement may be accepted electronically and in counterparts. Electronic records and signatures have the same effect as paper records and signatures to the extent provided by law. You must be able to retain a copy.

Survival. Payment ownership, confidentiality, Follower-data restrictions, records, intellectual property, indemnification, liability limitations, dispute terms, and other provisions that should operate after termination survive.

Headings. Headings are for convenience only.
