Terms of Service

Last updated: 5/24/2026

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before participating in the Brandfluence marketplace ecosystem.

1. The Financial Ecosystem

Brandfluence operates a strictly regulated dual-ledger financial system utilizing Stripe. By utilizing our platform, you agree to the following economic principles:

  • Brand Deposits: All wallet deposits carry a mandatory 3% gross markup fee to offset Stripe processing overhead. This is paid upfront by the Brand.
  • Escrow Logic: Launching a Campaign automatically locks the required budget inside a non-withdrawable Reserved Balance to guarantee Influencer compensation.
  • Platform Fees: Brandfluence intercepts a unified 10% platform fee from exactly every processed Influencer Payout.

2. The 7-Day Clearing Period

To prevent fraud, chargebacks, and unfulfilled deliverables, Brandfluence imposes a strict 7-day clearing protocol. When a Brand manually clicks "Approve Content," the funds are physically released from the Reserved Balance into the Influencer's Pending Balance. The Influencer cannot withdraw these funds until our automated clearing networks sweep the ledger exactly 7 days later, moving the sum to their Available Balance.

3. Campaign Expiration & Auto-Refunds

If a Campaign surpasses its designated End Date without utilizing its full allocated budget, our cron systems will autonomously mark the campaign as COMPLETED and securely refund any unspent Escrow fractions back linearly to the Brand's Available Balance.

4. Content Ownership and APIs

Our service requires authorization into highly sensitive Social APIs (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok). You agree that we will perpetually read your active engagement nodes to calculate metrics. The creative deliverables you submit to Brands remain jointly licensed to the Brand upon financial completion.

5. Account Termination

We reserve the right to irrevocably suspend any Account exploiting financial vulnerabilities, utilizing botted social engagement APIs, or attempting to natively bypass the 10% platform payout cut by operating outside the ecosystem.
