2. Scope and Purpose

2.1 Nature of This Agreement

This Creator Agreement governs the contractual relationship between TribuShare (operated by SYLOE GROUP, SAS) and the Creator with respect to the distribution of Content on the Platform. TribuShare provides Creators with a technology platform enabling direct-to-audience distribution of independent films, including tools for payment processing, audience analytics, referral management, live events, and community engagement.

2.2 Platform Role — Technical Neutral Intermediary

TribuShare operates exclusively as a neutral technology intermediary. TribuShare does not acquire, edit, curate, or exercise editorial control over Content. TribuShare does not represent Creators in rights negotiations, does not clear Rights on behalf of Creators, and is not a party to any agreement between the Creator and third-party rights holders (composers, performers, co-producers, distributors).

TribuShare's right to moderate Content under Section 8.3 is exercised solely to enforce these Terms and applicable law. It does not constitute editorial control, editorial selection, or co-authorship of any Content, and does not affect TribuShare's status as a neutral hosting intermediary for the purposes of applicable intermediary liability protections, including but not limited to: Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (United States, 47 U.S.C. §230); Article 6 of the EU Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065); and the French loi pour la confiance dans l'économie numérique (LCEN) of June 21, 2004.

The Creator is solely responsible for all decisions relating to Content, pricing, territory management, and rights clearance.

2.3 B2B Relationship

This Agreement constitutes a commercial agreement between two professional parties (contrat B2B). By activating a Creator Account, you expressly confirm that you are entering into this Agreement in your professional capacity as a content creator, audiovisual producer, filmmaker, or distributor — and not as a consumer acting outside any professional or commercial activity. Consumer protections applicable exclusively to natural persons acting outside any professional or commercial capacity (consommateurs) do not apply to this Agreement.

3. Creator Account

3.1 Eligibility

To activate a Creator Account, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Have full legal capacity to enter into binding contracts under the laws of your jurisdiction
  • If acting on behalf of a legal entity, be duly authorized to bind that entity
  • Provide accurate, complete, and current registration information
  • Maintain a valid payment account capable of receiving Revenue Share disbursements

3.2 Account Activation

Creator Account activation is subject to TribuShare's review and approval. TribuShare reserves the right to decline applications at its sole discretion, without obligation to provide reasons. Activation does not constitute a guarantee of minimum revenue or audience.

3.3 Account Responsibilities

The Creator is solely responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of account credentials
  • All activities conducted under the Creator Account
  • Immediately notifying TribuShare at support@tribushare.com in the event of suspected unauthorized access
  • Ensuring all information provided to TribuShare remains accurate and up to date

3.4 One Account Per Creator

Each Creator entity (individual or legal entity) may maintain only one Creator Account. The creation of multiple accounts to circumvent Platform policies, Revenue Share calculations, or any other limitation is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate termination of all associated accounts and forfeiture of accrued Revenue Share.

3.5 Partner Program Access

A Creator Account does not automatically grant access to the TribuShare Partner Program. Creators who wish to participate in TribuShare's referral and affiliate program must separately review and accept the Partner Program Agreement. Participation in the Partner Program is subject to separate eligibility criteria and approval. The rights and obligations set out in this Creator Agreement apply independently of, and are not modified by, participation in the Partner Program.

3.6 Accredited Access — Screeners, Press, and Industry

Creators may grant complimentary or restricted access to designated individuals — including press, film festival programmers, sales agents, broadcasters, and industry buyers — through the Platform's credentialing and access management tools ("Accredited Access"). The following rules apply to all Accredited Access:

  • All Content Rights warranties in Section 6 of this Agreement apply in full to Content distributed via Accredited Access, without exception
  • The Creator is solely responsible for verifying the identity and legitimacy of each accredited recipient before granting access
  • The Creator must configure appropriate access restrictions (expiry dates, viewing limits, territory restrictions) consistent with any confidentiality obligations or screener distribution policies applicable to the Content
  • Accredited recipients are bound by the TribuShare Terms of Service as a condition of access. The Creator acknowledges that TribuShare cannot enforce confidentiality obligations between the Creator and accredited recipients — such obligations must be established by the Creator directly with each recipient
  • TribuShare's digital watermarking (Section 7.4) applies to all Accredited Access streams. In the event of unauthorized redistribution of a screener, TribuShare will provide the Creator with available watermark traceability data to assist in identifying the source of the leak, subject to applicable data protection law

3.7 Distributors, Sales Agents, and Authorized Licensees

Where the Creator is not the original rights holder but acts as a distributor, sales agent, or other authorized licensee of the Content (collectively, "Mandataire"), the Creator makes the following additional warranties:

  • The Mandataire holds a valid written mandate, distribution agreement, or license from the original rights holder(s) — including the film's director and all co-authors under applicable law — expressly authorizing distribution of the Content through digital VOD platforms, including TribuShare, for all territories activated on the Platform
  • The terms of the Mandataire's mandate or license include the right to sub-license to TribuShare the Technical License described in Section 7.2, and do not require TribuShare to enter into any direct agreement with the original rights holder(s)
  • The Mandataire's mandate or license remains valid throughout the entire period during which the Content is made available through the Platform, and the Mandataire will promptly notify TribuShare at legal@tribushare.com if the mandate or license expires, is terminated, or is modified in a way that affects TribuShare's right to distribute the Content
  • Revenue Share disbursements made by TribuShare to the Mandataire fully discharge TribuShare's payment obligations with respect to the Content — TribuShare has no obligation to make any direct payment to the original rights holder(s), co-producers, or any other third party holding rights in the Content

TribuShare may at any time request that the Mandataire provide written evidence of their mandate or license. Failure to provide such evidence within 10 business days of request constitutes grounds for suspension of the relevant Content pending resolution.

4. Platform Access and License

4.1 License to Use the Platform

Subject to the Creator's compliance with this Agreement and the Terms of Service, TribuShare grants the Creator a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Platform solely for the purpose of distributing Content and managing the Creator's distribution activities.

4.2 Platform Ownership

The Platform — including its source code, architecture, interfaces, algorithms, databases, design components, trademarks, and all associated intellectual property — is the exclusive property of SYLOE GROUP, SAS, protected under French intellectual property law (Code de la Propriété Intellectuelle) and applicable international treaties. The Creator acquires no ownership rights in the Platform under this Agreement.

4.3 Restrictions on Platform Use

The Creator shall not:

  • Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or derive the source code of the Platform
  • Reproduce, sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, or commercially exploit the Platform independently
  • Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, watermarks, or security measures embedded in the Platform
  • Use the Platform in any manner that violates applicable law or these Terms
  • Attempt to circumvent or disable any content protection, DRM, or access control mechanism
  • Use the Platform to distribute Content for which the Creator does not hold all required Rights

4.4 AI and Automated Systems

TribuShare may use automated systems, including artificial intelligence, for the following limited purposes: (i) generating technical subtitle suggestions; (ii) providing audience analytics; (iii) optimizing content delivery. TribuShare expressly undertakes NOT to use Content uploaded by Creators to train its machine learning models or those of third parties, without prior written consent from the Creator. Creators may opt out of all analytical processing at any time by contacting support@tribushare.com.

Where TribuShare makes available optional AI-powered tools to assist Creators — including but not limited to contract analysis assistance, metadata suggestions, or rights verification guidance — such tools are provided for informational convenience only and do not constitute legal advice. TribuShare does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or legal validity of any output generated by such AI tools. The Creator remains solely responsible for verifying their rights independently, and no reliance on AI tool output shall limit or modify the Creator's warranties under Section 6.1. Use of any optional AI tool is entirely at the Creator's own discretion and risk.

5. Revenue Share and Payment

5.1 Revenue Share Rate

The Creator shall receive a Revenue Share calculated as a percentage of Net Revenue generated from the distribution of the Creator's Content on the Platform. The applicable Revenue Share rate, subscription plan fees, and payout thresholds are set out in the TribuShare Creator Fee Schedule (Schedule A to this Agreement), which forms an integral part of this Agreement. TribuShare reserves the right to amend the Fee Schedule upon 30 days' prior written notice to the Creator.

"Net Revenue" means gross transaction revenue less: (i) TribuShare's platform commission as set out in Schedule A §A.1; (ii) applicable Stripe payment processing fees (currently 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction, subject to change by Stripe); (iii) applicable transaction taxes required by law; (iv) verified chargebacks and refunds.

5.2 Payment Architecture — Destination Charges and Tax for Marketplaces

Payments on TribuShare are processed through Stripe Connect using Destination Charges. Under this architecture, TribuShare (SYLOE GROUP, SAS) is the merchant of record for all Transactions and receives the full gross payment from the Viewer. TribuShare then transfers to the Creator's connected Stripe account the Creator's net Revenue Share: the gross Transaction amount less (i) TribuShare's platform commission (Schedule A §A.1), (ii) applicable Stripe payment processing fees, and (iii) the tax amount withheld.

Tax Withholding: TribuShare collects applicable indirect taxes (VAT, GST, sales tax) on behalf of tax authorities as a marketplace facilitator. The tax portion of each Transaction is retained on the TribuShare platform account and is not transferred to the Creator. This tax is remitted by TribuShare to the applicable tax authorities. The Creator's Revenue Share is calculated on the pre-tax transaction amount. Tax collection by TribuShare does not affect or reduce the Creator's Revenue Share percentage — it is applied on top of the Creator's price, not deducted from the Creator's revenue.

TribuShare can process refunds to Viewers on the Creator's behalf via Stripe, regardless of the Creator's Stripe Connect configuration. This allows TribuShare's support team to handle Viewer refund requests directly without requiring Creator intervention. Where TribuShare processes a refund on the Creator's behalf, the corresponding Revenue Share amount is reversed.

The following financial terms apply to all refunds and chargebacks:

  • Stripe processing fees: Stripe does not refund its original processing fees when a refund is issued. These non-recoverable fees are borne by the Creator as a cost of the Transaction. TribuShare's application fee (platform commission) is refunded proportionally to the refund amount
  • Response obligation: When TribuShare relays a Viewer refund request to the Creator, the Creator has 48 hours to respond with a decision (accept, reject with justification, or propose an alternative resolution). If the Creator does not respond within 48 hours, TribuShare is authorized to process the refund in accordance with applicable consumer protection law and the refund policy displayed on the Creator's film site at the time of the Viewer's purchase
  • Chargebacks: In the event of a chargeback (payment dispute initiated by a Viewer through their bank or card issuer), Stripe debits the disputed amount from the Creator's connected Stripe account balance. If the Creator's balance is insufficient, the shortage may be debited from TribuShare's platform balance pursuant to Stripe Connect's liability rules. In such cases, the Creator shall reimburse TribuShare for all amounts advanced on the Creator's behalf, including the dispute fee charged by Stripe (currently $15 per chargeback), within 30 days of written notice. TribuShare reserves the right to deduct such amounts from future Revenue Share disbursements
  • Technical failures: Where a refund is necessitated by a technical failure attributable to TribuShare's infrastructure (including streaming, DRM, or payment processing failures not caused by the Creator), TribuShare shall bear the full cost of the refund, and the Creator's Revenue Share shall not be affected

TribuShare is not a payment service provider or money transmitter. Stripe, Inc. is the licensed payment processor. By activating a Creator Account, the Creator agrees to comply with Stripe's Connect terms of service.

5.3 Creator Responsibility for Internal Revenue Splits

Where the Creator is required to share revenue with co-producers, sales agents, writers, performers, or other rights holders, those splits are the Creator's sole responsibility. TribuShare transfers the net Revenue Share to the Creator's primary connected Stripe account only. Any onward distribution of revenue from the Creator to third parties is managed by the Creator through their own Stripe infrastructure or other means. TribuShare has no involvement in, knowledge of, or responsibility for internal revenue distribution between the Creator and third parties.

5.4 Payment Schedule

Revenue Share disbursements are processed by Stripe on a rolling basis in accordance with Stripe Connect's standard payout schedule (typically daily or weekly, subject to the Creator's Stripe account settings and applicable Stripe policies). TribuShare targets configuration of payout settings within 5 business days of Creator Account activation. Any delays caused by Stripe's own hold periods, account verification requirements, or compliance checks are outside TribuShare's control.

5.5 Tax Responsibilities

Indirect taxes on Viewer transactions (VAT, GST, sales tax): TribuShare collects and remits applicable indirect taxes on Viewer purchases as a marketplace facilitator. The Creator has no obligation to collect, report, or remit these taxes in respect of Transactions processed through TribuShare. TribuShare registers for and administers applicable tax registrations, including the EU VAT One-Stop Shop (OSS) scheme.

Creator income tax and Revenue Share taxes: The Creator is solely responsible for all taxes applicable to the Revenue Share payments they receive from TribuShare, including income tax, corporate tax, and any other taxes on business revenue in the Creator's jurisdiction. The Creator is also solely responsible for any VAT or equivalent taxes applicable to their own business activities in their country of establishment, which are separate from TribuShare's marketplace tax collection.

TribuShare shall provide transaction records and disbursement documentation to assist the Creator in meeting its income tax reporting obligations. Where required by applicable law, TribuShare may be required to report Creator revenue to relevant tax authorities (including under the EU DAC7 Directive for digital platform operators) and will notify Creators of any such reporting obligations.

5.6 Currency

Revenue Share is disbursed in the currency of the Creator's connected Stripe account, as configured by the Creator. TribuShare is not responsible for currency conversion losses or exchange rate variations applied by Stripe.

6. Content Rights — Creator Warranties and Indemnification

6.1 Rights Warranty

By uploading, publishing, or making available any Content on the Platform, the Creator UNCONDITIONALLY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS that, as of the date of upload and throughout the period during which the Content is made available on the Platform:

  • The Creator is the sole owner or authorized licensee of ALL Rights in and to the Content, for ALL territories activated by the Creator on the Platform
  • The Creator holds valid synchronization rights and master recording rights for ALL music included in the Content
  • The Creator holds valid image rights (droit à l'image) and model releases for ALL identifiable natural persons appearing in the Content
  • The Creator holds all co-producer and co-author agreements necessary to authorize distribution of the Content through the Platform
  • The Content does not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or personality rights of any third party
  • The Content is not subject to any distribution exclusivity agreement, embargo, or court order that would prohibit or restrict its distribution on the Platform
  • All content classification, rating, and regulatory approval obligations applicable to the Content in each activated territory have been met or are not required, including but not limited to: the CNC visa d'exploitation (France); BBFC certificate (United Kingdom); applicable MPAA or state-level ratings (United States); FSK classification (Germany); OFLC/ACB classification (Australia); and any equivalent classification required in any other activated territory. The Creator is solely responsible for verifying and complying with the specific classification obligations of each territory in which they make Content available
  • The Creator has the full legal authority to enter into this Agreement and to grant the Technical License set out in Section 7.2
  • Where the Creator is not the film's director, the Creator has obtained, to the extent required by applicable law (including French law, Art. L121-1 Code de la Propriété Intellectuelle), any necessary consent or waiver from the director and all co-authors (screenwriters, composers, and other contributing authors) with respect to the form, conditions, and territories of distribution through the Platform. The Creator warrants that the distribution of Content through the Platform does not violate the moral rights (droit moral, droits moraux) of any co-author, director, screenwriter, or composer who has contributed to the Content, including but not limited to the rights of integrity (droit à l'intégrité) and disclosure (droit de divulgation)
  • The distribution of Content through the Platform does not conflict with any theatrical release obligations, media chronology requirements (including the French chronologie des médias established by applicable decree), broadcasting holdbacks, or SVOD/VOD exclusivity windows applicable to the Content. Where the Content has received a theatrical release in France, the Creator is solely responsible for verifying compliance with the chronologie des médias decree of January 26, 2024, and any subsequent amendments. TribuShare bears no liability for the Creator's failure to comply with applicable media window obligations
  • Content Rating Accuracy: The Creator warrants that the content rating declared for each piece of Content in the Creator Dashboard accurately reflects the actual content of the work, including its suitability for audiences by age. Ratings must be selected from TribuShare's standardised rating categories (All Ages / 7+ / 12+ / 16+ / 18+ / Not Rated). Where the Content has received an official classification from a recognised rating authority (e.g. CNC visa in France, BBFC certificate in the UK), the declared TribuShare rating must be consistent with that official classification. The Creator acknowledges that TribuShare may use automated tools to assess content characteristics at upload time for internal risk management purposes. A mismatch between the Creator's declared rating and TribuShare's internal assessment may trigger a manual review. The Creator shall indemnify TribuShare against all losses, damages, claims, and legal costs arising from an inaccurate content rating declaration, including any regulatory action by competent authorities (including ARCOM or equivalent bodies) resulting from a minor accessing Content that was incorrectly rated

6.2 TribuShare's Absence of Liability for Rights Deficiencies

TribuShare does NOT verify, and is NOT responsible for verifying, the accuracy or completeness of the Creator's Rights declarations. TribuShare does not perform clearance checks, does not retain rights counsel on behalf of Creators, and expressly DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY arising from:

  • Content uploaded without proper Rights clearance
  • Errors or omissions in the Creator's rights documentation
  • Territorial rights conflicts arising from the Creator's misconfiguration of distribution territories
  • Third-party claims asserting rights in any element of the Content (music, performance, screenplay, image rights, etc.)
  • Any Content that infringes the rights of third parties, regardless of whether TribuShare had actual or constructive knowledge of such infringement prior to receiving a formal notice

THE CREATOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TRIBUSHARE ACTS AS A TECHNICAL INTERMEDIARY ONLY. THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR RIGHTS CLEARANCE RESTS ENTIRELY WITH THE CREATOR.

6.3 Creator Indemnification Obligation

The Creator shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SYLOE GROUP, SAS, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and successors (collectively, "TribuShare Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages, liabilities, losses, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and court costs) arising out of or in connection with:

  • Any breach or inaccuracy of the warranties set out in Section 6.1
  • Any third-party claim alleging that the Content, or any part thereof, infringes or misappropriates any intellectual property right, right of publicity, privacy right, or any other right of any person or entity
  • The Creator's failure to obtain, maintain, or renew any Rights required for the lawful distribution of Content through the Platform
  • The Creator's violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party agreement in connection with the use of the Platform
  • Chargebacks, payment disputes, or refund claims resulting from the Creator's Content, pricing decisions, territorial configuration, or failure to respond to Viewer complaints within the timeframes specified in Section 5.2(b) of this Agreement

This indemnification obligation survives termination or expiration of this Agreement.

6.4 Notice & Takedown Cooperation

Upon receipt of a formal notice alleging that Content infringes the rights of a third party, TribuShare reserves the right to suspend access to the disputed Content within 48 hours, pending investigation. TribuShare will notify the Creator and provide a reasonable opportunity for the Creator to submit a counter-notice within 5 business days. The Creator agrees to cooperate fully and promptly with TribuShare in connection with any such investigation.

6.5 Content Guarantee Regarding Minors

The Creator warrants that no Content uploaded to the Platform depicts minors in any context that is sexual, violent, or harmful in nature. Any Content depicting minors has been produced in full compliance with applicable child protection laws in all relevant jurisdictions. Violation of this warranty will result in immediate account termination and referral to the competent authorities.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Creator Retains Full Ownership of Content

The Creator retains all intellectual property rights in and to the Content. Nothing in this Agreement transfers, assigns, or conveys any ownership rights in the Content to TribuShare. TribuShare's rights are strictly limited to the Technical License described in Section 7.2.

7.2 Technical License Granted to TribuShare

For the sole purpose of providing the Services described in this Agreement, the Creator grants TribuShare a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to:

  • Store and reproduce the Content on TribuShare's servers and content delivery network (CDN)
  • Encode and transcode the Content into formats appropriate for streaming delivery
  • Generate technical preview elements (thumbnails, short clips, metadata extracts) for navigation purposes within the Platform
  • Transmit the Content to Viewers who have been authorized by the Creator through the Platform's access management tools
  • Apply digital watermarking and fingerprinting to the Content for security and piracy prevention purposes

This Technical License is granted for the duration of this Agreement only and terminates automatically upon its expiration or termination. TribuShare shall delete all copies of the Content within 30 days following termination, subject to any applicable legal retention obligations.

This Technical License expressly excludes the following rights, which require a separate written agreement with TribuShare under a future Professional Licensing Agreement (Module E, to be published at tribushare.com/legal/professional-licensing when available): (i) in-flight entertainment (IFE) rights for commercial airlines and private aviation; (ii) hotel and hospitality pay-per-view (PPV) rights; (iii) maritime and cruise line distribution rights; (iv) military base distribution rights; and (v) educational institutional licensing beyond individual access. Until Module E is available, Creators wishing to explore these rights through TribuShare must contact business@tribushare.com. TribuShare has no obligation to conclude any Professional Licensing arrangement.

7.3 No Editorial Use

TribuShare shall not use the Content for any purpose other than the technical delivery purposes described in Section 7.2. In particular, TribuShare shall not: (i) publicly screen, broadcast, or distribute Content for its own promotional purposes without the Creator's prior written consent; (ii) modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works from the Content; (iii) license or sublicense the Content to third parties.

7.4 Digital Watermarking

TribuShare applies an invisible digital watermark (fingerprint) to all Content streamed through the Platform. This watermark is unique to each viewing session and enables the identification of the account that accessed the Content. The Creator expressly acknowledges and agrees that digital watermarking does not constitute a modification of the Content within the meaning of the moral rights (droit moral) provisions of French law. This measure is implemented exclusively as a technical security mechanism pursuant to Article L335-4 of the French Code de la Propriété Intellectuelle.

7.5 TribuShare Platform Intellectual Property

The Platform — including its software, source code, algorithms, interfaces, databases, visual design elements, trademarks, and documentation — is and shall remain the exclusive intellectual property of SYLOE GROUP, SAS. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed as transferring any ownership interest in the Platform to the Creator.

8. Content Standards and Prohibited Content

8.1 General Standards and Content Classification

All Content distributed through the Platform must comply with applicable law in all Qualifying Territories, including content classification, rating, and age-restriction requirements. The Creator is solely responsible for verifying and meeting all such requirements before activating any territory.

8.1a Territory-Specific Classification Requirements

The following classification obligations are mandatory in the listed territories and are the Creator's sole responsibility. TribuShare does not verify compliance and bears no liability for violations:

  • France — Visa d'exploitation CNC (Art. L211-1 Code du cinéma): mandatory for any commercial distribution. Films without a visa cannot lawfully be distributed commercially in France. The Creator must obtain and maintain a valid visa before activating France as a distribution territory
  • United Kingdom — BBFC certificate: mandatory for commercial Video on Demand distribution under the Video Recordings Act 2010 and the Digital Economy Act 2017. Films distributed commercially in the UK without a BBFC certificate may constitute a criminal offence. This obligation applies regardless of the film's country of origin
  • Germany — FSK classification (Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle der Filmwirtschaft): required for commercial distribution. Age restrictions must be implemented in the Creator's territory configuration
  • Australia — OFLC/ACB classification: mandatory for commercial distribution. Films rated RC (Refused Classification) cannot be distributed in Australia
  • United States — MPAA or equivalent ratings: voluntary for theatrical but relevant for streaming platforms targeting US audiences. Content restrictions vary by state law. The Creator must ensure Content complies with applicable US federal and state law, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) where relevant
  • All other territories — the Creator is solely responsible for identifying and complying with any content classification, censorship, or age-restriction requirements applicable in each territory they activate

8.1b Display of Classification Information

Where the Creator has obtained a content classification or rating, the Creator is responsible for entering this information accurately in the Platform's metadata fields. TribuShare will display the classification information provided by the Creator on the relevant film page, without verifying its accuracy. TribuShare does not independently classify Content and makes no representation regarding the adequacy of any classification provided. The Creator indemnifies TribuShare against any claim arising from inaccurate, missing, or expired classification information in the Content's metadata.

TribuShare is not obligated to display classification information on film pages beyond what the Creator provides. However, for Qualifying Territories where classification display is legally mandated (e.g., UK age ratings under BBFC guidelines, German FSK symbols), the Creator must ensure the required symbols or ratings are included in the Content's artwork or marketing materials uploaded to the Platform.

8.2 Prohibited Content

The following categories of Content are strictly prohibited on the Platform regardless of rights status:

  • Content that is obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit (except where the Creator operates an age-verified platform under a separate written agreement with TribuShare)
  • Content that incites, promotes, or glorifies violence, terrorism, or acts of hatred on the basis of race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic
  • Content depicting the abuse, exploitation, or sexual representation of minors
  • Content that constitutes defamation, malicious falsehood, or unlawful invasion of privacy
  • Content that infringes applicable data protection laws
  • Content produced in violation of applicable labor or occupational safety laws

8.3 Content Moderation

TribuShare reserves the right to review Content at any time and to suspend or remove Content that it reasonably believes violates Section 8.2 or any applicable law. TribuShare will endeavor to notify the Creator prior to removal, except where immediate removal is required by law or where TribuShare determines in good faith that notification would impede an emergency response.

9. Notice & Takedown — Third-Party Rights Infringement

9.1 Processing of Notices

TribuShare processes third-party notifications of alleged rights infringement in accordance with applicable law, including the Digital Services Act (EU Regulation 2022/2065) to the extent applicable. Upon receipt of a valid notice, TribuShare will:

  • Assess the validity of the notice within 48 hours of receipt
  • If the notice is facially valid, suspend access to the disputed Content pending investigation
  • Notify the Creator of the suspension and the basis for it
  • Provide the Creator an opportunity to submit a counter-notice within 5 business days
  • Restore access if the Creator's counter-notice is accepted, or permanently remove the Content if the notice is upheld

9.2 No Liability for Takedowns

TribuShare shall not be liable to the Creator for any loss of revenue, loss of audience, or other damages arising from the suspension or removal of Content pursuant to a valid third-party notice, whether or not the notice is ultimately upheld. The Creator's sole remedy in the event of a wrongful takedown is the restoration of access to the Content.

9.3 Notification Addresses

Third-party rights infringement notices must be submitted in writing to: legal@tribushare.com. Notices submitted through other channels may not receive expedited processing.

For U.S. copyright infringement claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. §512): TribuShare's designated DMCA Agent is reachable at legal@tribushare.com with subject line "DMCA Notice — TribuShare". TribuShare's DMCA Agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. The same notice requirements apply as under Section 9.1. The counter-notice procedure under 17 U.S.C. §512(g) is available to Creators who believe their Content was removed in error — submit counter-notices to legal@tribushare.com with subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice".

10. Territory Management

10.1 Creator's Responsibility

The Creator is solely responsible for configuring the geographic availability of Content through the Platform's territory management tools (geo-blocking). TribuShare provides the technical tools to enable territory-based access restrictions but does not independently verify the Creator's territorial rights.

10.2 No Automatic Territorial Verification

TribuShare does not monitor, audit, or verify whether the Creator's territorial distribution configuration is consistent with the Creator's actual territorial rights. Any errors in territory configuration are the Creator's sole responsibility and are covered by the indemnification obligation in Section 6.3.

10.3 Temporal Availability Windows

The Platform provides tools enabling the Creator to configure time-limited territorial availability — setting a specific start date and end date for Content availability in each territory. The Creator is solely responsible for configuring temporal availability windows consistent with their distribution rights agreements. TribuShare does not verify the consistency of temporal settings with third-party distribution agreements.

Where the Platform's scheduling tools do not yet support the precise temporal configuration required by the Creator's distribution agreements, the Creator must either: (i) manage availability manually by activating and deactivating territories at the appropriate times; or (ii) contact support@tribushare.com to discuss whether a custom configuration can be implemented. TribuShare's failure to provide temporal scheduling tools does not diminish the Creator's sole responsibility for compliance with distribution window obligations.

11. Data and Analytics

11.1 Audience Data

Audience data collected through the Creator's distribution activity on the Platform (including Viewer purchase data, engagement metrics, and referral performance) is made available to the Creator through the Platform's analytics dashboard. The Creator is the data controller for personal data of Viewers who have purchased or engaged with the Creator's Content. TribuShare acts as the data processor in respect of such data, pursuant to the Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum, which forms an integral part of this Agreement.

11.2 TribuShare's Use of Aggregated Data

TribuShare may use aggregated and anonymized data derived from Platform activity for the purposes of product development, platform optimization, and internal reporting.
