Creator & Affiliate Terms

Effective: August 9, 2026 · Last updated: August 9, 2026

ENGLISH IS THE CONTROLLING TEXT OF THESE TERMS. Any translation is provided for convenience only and does not change the English text.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. SECTION 15 CONTAINS A BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU MAY OPT OUT WITHIN 30 DAYS UNDER SECTION 15.9.

Before you register — five things to be clear about

1. You are responsible for what you publish. Our hosting, translation, distribution or labelling of your content is not verification or endorsement.
2. You must disclose material connections. If you are paid, get commission, receive free or discounted product, or have a personal or financial relationship with a brand, you must say so clearly, in the content itself.
3. We may label, restrict, delink, remove or suspend content and accounts without your prior consent where our rules or the law require it.
4. Registration alone creates no payment obligation. Paid work exists only under a written Task Rule that you accept and complete.
5. These Terms include arbitration and a class action waiver.

1. Who these Terms are between

1.1 These Creator & Affiliate Terms ("Creator Terms") are between MetaOriental Technology Inc., a Delaware corporation at 61 W 62nd Street, 8H, New York, NY 10023 ("MetaOriental," "we"), and you, the individual or entity applying for, registering for or using MetaOriental creator, affiliate, referral, attribution or task features ("you," "Creator").

1.2 They apply to your activity on and off the Service that relates to MetaOriental projects, brands, products, links, tasks or content.

1.3 They supplement the Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, Reviews & Ratings Policy and Advertising, Affiliate & Sponsorship Disclosure. Where they conflict on a creator matter, these Creator Terms control; where a Task Rule conflicts with these Creator Terms on delivery, attribution, reward or settlement for that task, the Task Rule controls for that task only.

1.4 Definitions.

• "Creator Content" — anything you submit, publish, stream, link, forward or authorize us to use in connection with MetaOriental, including content posted on third-party social platforms about MetaOriental, a partner brand or a task.
• "Commercial Content" — content published or influenced because of a material connection, including payment, commission, affiliate revenue, free or discounted product, samples, gifts, travel, services, equity, employment, or a personal or family relationship.
• "Task Rule" — the written rules for a specific paid task, published on the task page and accepted by you.

2. Eligibility and your account

2.1 You must be at least 18 and have full legal capacity. If you register on behalf of a company, studio, agency or MCN, you confirm you are authorized and that entity is bound with you.

2.2 Provide accurate, complete and current account and social-media information. Keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity through your account and must notify us immediately of unauthorized use.

2.3 We may require verification of identity, social accounts, contact details, tax status or payment information for security, attribution, anti-fraud, tax or settlement reasons, and may limit features or withhold task eligibility until verification is complete.

2.4 You may not sell, transfer, rent or share your account, let a third party control it, or use a new account to evade a restriction, suspension or termination.

2.5 One creator, one account. Operating undisclosed multiple or coordinated accounts is grounds for forfeiture of rewards and termination.

3. Nature of the relationship and no guarantee of work or income

3.1 You are an independent user or independent service provider. Nothing here makes you an employee, agent, partner, joint venturer, distributor, franchisee or legal representative of MetaOriental or any brand. You decide the method, place, time and personnel used to produce your content, you may work for others, and you bear your own business costs and risks.

3.2 This is not a compensation agreement. It sets no rate, minimum amount, commission percentage, minimum volume of tasks and no payment deadline. Compensation arises only where we publish a written Task Rule, you expressly accept it, and you complete all of its conditions.

3.3 We do not guarantee tasks, invitations, samples, budgets, traffic, exposure, ranking, followers, sales, conversions, a term of cooperation or any income, and we do not guarantee that your content will remain visible, distributable or attributable. Any figure, range, example, leaderboard, past result or screenshot shown anywhere on the Service is illustrative and is not a prediction of what you will earn — read the Creator Earnings Disclaimer, which forms part of these Terms.

3.4 Arrangements a brand offers you directly — cooperation, payment, samples, intellectual property or delivery — are between you and that brand. Unless a signed MetaOriental document expressly names MetaOriental as the payer, we are not responsible for a brand's or any third party's payment obligations. The same applies to arrangements offered by a MetaOriental ecosystem partner: an ecosystem partner has no authority to promise you compensation, exposure, traffic or task volume, and any such promise does not bind MetaOriental.

3.5 You may not, without our separate written authorization, quote prices on our behalf, promise product performance or results, give warranties, collect money, process refunds, sign documents, or otherwise bind MetaOriental or a brand.

4. Your content: truthfulness, rights and responsibility

4.1 You are the author and publisher of Creator Content and are responsible for its truthfulness, accuracy, completeness, legality, timeliness, evidentiary basis, manner of expression and consequences. Verify before you publish and keep records supporting material factual statements.

4.2 Do not claim experience you do not have. You may not state or imply that you personally used, tested or experienced a product you did not, and you may not fabricate experiences, identities, reviews, engagement, user feedback or testimonials.

4.3 Generative AI and synthetic media. If you use generative AI, synthetic media or materially altered footage, you may not impersonate a real person, fabricate a real-world experience or mislead your audience, and you must make any disclosure required by law or by the publishing platform's rules. Where AI-generated imagery depicts product performance, label it.

4.4 Verifiable claims. For statements about performance, compatibility, safety, health, efficacy, comparisons, environmental attributes, sales volume, price, discounts, stock, delivery or earnings, you must have a reliable basis, stay consistent with current official materials, and not exaggerate, edit or take out of context. For claims requiring scientific or professional substantiation, do not go beyond what the brand has supplied and lawfully authorized you to use.

4.5 Rights clearance. You confirm you have all permissions needed for music, footage, text, software, trademarks, likenesses, voices, locations, personal information and third-party materials in your content, and that it infringes no intellectual property, privacy, publicity, reputation, contract or other right.

4.6 Our handling is not endorsement. Our hosting, formatting, translation, summarization, categorization, recommendation, resharing, algorithmic distribution, human or automated review, commercial labelling or retention of your content does not constitute confirmation, adoption, warranty or endorsement of its truthfulness, legality, product quality or viewpoint.

4.7 Correction duty. If you learn that your content is inaccurate, that a permission has lapsed, that product information has changed, or that the content could mislead, infringe, create a safety risk or cause harm, stop distributing it immediately, correct or delete it, and notify us.

5. Commercial disclosure

5.1 Whenever a material connection exists between you and a brand, seller, MetaOriental or a related party — whether the consideration is cash, commission, affiliate revenue, free or discounted product, samples, gifts, hospitality, travel, services, employment, equity, or a family or personal relationship — you must disclose it.

5.2 The standard. Disclosure must be clear, conspicuous and hard to miss: at the start of written content before any fold or "more" control, within the first three seconds of video, and repeated at reasonable intervals during a live stream. A platform disclosure label supplements your own disclosure; it does not replace it. Use the same language as the content, so an ordinary member of the audience immediately understands the commercial relationship.

5.3 Applying that standard by format.

• Images and short text — visible in the image or at the start of the caption, ahead of any fold, "more" control or hashtag block. Never only in a profile bio or on a link page.
• Video — on-screen in readable text within the first three seconds and, where appropriate, spoken aloud; repeat for long-form.
• Live streams — at the start and repeated at reasonable intervals.
• Platform tools — where the publishing platform offers a paid-partnership tool, enable it in addition to your own disclosure.

5.4 Acceptable wording: "Advertisement," "Ad," "Sponsored," "Paid partnership with {brand}," "{brand} sent me this for free," "I earn a commission if you buy through this link," "#ad," "#sponsored." Not acceptable: "collab," "thanks {brand}," "ambassador," "sp," "spon," "affiliate" alone, or any abbreviation or vague term an ordinary viewer would not immediately understand.

5.5 Reviews must reflect genuine opinion and actual experience. No reward, sample or cooperation may be conditioned on a positive review, a particular star rating, hiding a negative view or suppressing honest feedback. A genuine, good-faith negative or neutral review will not be rejected for payment solely because its conclusion is unfavourable, provided it meets the objective delivery conditions of the Task Rule.

5.6 You must comply with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's rules on advertising, endorsements, testimonials, reviews and material-connection disclosure, including the FTC Endorsement Guides and the FTC rule on consumer reviews and testimonials, and with the requirements of the place you publish, the place your audience is located, and the third-party platform. Content aimed at U.S. consumers may be subject to U.S. rules even if you publish from elsewhere.

6. Prohibited content and conduct

6.1 Do not publish content that is unlawful, fraudulent, false, misleading, defamatory, harassing, hateful, discriminatory, obscene, exploitative of minors, encouraging of dangerous behaviour, infringing of others' rights, or that could reasonably create risk to persons, property, product safety, network security or serious reputational harm.

6.2 Do not promote legally restricted or platform-restricted goods, services or activities without our express approval and applicable review, and do not circumvent age, geographic, qualification, warning, recall or safety restrictions.

6.3 Strictly prohibited: bots, click farms, purchased or exchanged fake followers, views or engagement, self-purchase, duplicate or coordinated accounts, fake orders, collusive attribution, hidden redirects, cookie stuffing, traffic hijacking, malicious refunds, or any other manipulation of tasks, rankings, conversions or rewards.

6.4 Do not spam, scrape or sell data, reverse engineer, bypass access or geographic controls, deploy malicious code, steal credentials, impersonate others, abuse complaint channels, or interfere with the platform, tracking links, payments, stores, brands or other users.

6.5 Do not harm MetaOriental, brands, partners or users through misrepresentation, disclosure of confidential information, misappropriation, threats, harassment, technical attack, malicious complaints, or interception of customers or funds. This does not prohibit good-faith commentary based on true facts, lawful whistleblowing, or expression protected by law.

6.6 Without written authorization, do not charge brands, consumers or other creators fees in MetaOriental's name, accept undisclosed kickbacks or side payments, or use internal rates, client lists, task budgets or non-public materials for any purpose outside these Creator Terms.

7. Review, correction, removal and account action

7.1 We may, but need not, review Creator Content, accounts, links, engagement and metadata before or after publication, using automated tools, human review, rights-holder notices, brand feedback, user reports and third-party services.

7.2 We may act on the basis of legal or regulatory requirements, a court or government order, intellectual property or privacy complaints, product recall or safety risk, missing commercial disclosure, false or misleading information, brand safety, community safety, fraud, abuse prevention, technical security, termination of a relationship, or reasonable operational judgement.

7.3 Available measures include refusing or delaying publication, adding a commercial or risk label, adding source or link context, applying formatting, captioning, translation or technical processing that does not change substance, requiring correction, limiting recommendation or visibility, disqualifying you from a task, suspending attribution, delinking, hiding, removing, preserving evidence, limiting features, and suspending or terminating your account.

7.4 Unless applicable law requires otherwise, we do not need your prior consent and do not need to prove a violation first, and in urgent, safety, investigative, rights-protection or legally constrained circumstances we may act without prior notice. Any notice or review channel is not a condition of a measure taking effect. This paragraph does not apply to a measure that would be retaliation under 7.8: no measure may be taken for a reason protected by 7.8, and we will give you the reason for any 7.8 measure on request.

7.5 Content on third-party platforms. For task or brand content you published elsewhere, we may require you to correct, add disclosure or delete within the period stated in our notice. If you do not act, we may disconnect attribution links, disqualify you from the task, notify the brand or the platform, and take other reasonable measures.

7.6 We will not change the substance of a genuine review because it is negative, and we will not require you to delete it for that reason. Negative content must still meet truthfulness, rights, disclosure and safety requirements. To avoid misleading readers we may add context, or restrict or remove content, rather than rewrite it.

7.7 Non-publication, restriction or removal of content is not by itself a breach by us and creates no claim for exposure, opportunity or expected income. Amounts that have already become undisputed earned compensation under a Task Rule remain governed by that rule, subject to adjustment for invalid traffic, refunds, chargebacks, fraud and compliance. This paragraph does not limit 7.8.

7.8 No retaliation. This applies to every creator, whether or not you have accepted a Task Rule.

7.8.1 What is protected. We will not retaliate against you for: publishing an honest negative, neutral or qualified assessment that meets our truthfulness, rights, disclosure and safety requirements; making a required commercial disclosure; declining a task; asking to be paid; disputing an amount; reporting a safety, legal or advertising-compliance concern; making a complaint to a regulator, a labour authority or a court; or refusing to do something these Creator Terms or a Task Rule do not require.

7.8.2 What retaliation means here. It includes withholding or delaying settlement of amounts otherwise due, cancelling or reducing a task, downranking or delisting your content, suspending or restricting your account or task eligibility, removing you from future task pools, or reporting you to a brand or platform — where any of that is done because of an act protected by 7.8.1. Ordinary enforcement of these Creator Terms, a Task Rule or the Community Guidelines for an unrelated reason is not retaliation, and we will tell you that reason on request.

7.8.3 How to raise it. Email legal@metaoriental.com with the subject "CREATOR RETALIATION". It will be reviewed by someone not involved in the decision and you will get a written outcome. You may go to a court, a regulator or a labour authority at any time instead of or in addition to this route; you do not have to use it first, and using it does not extend any legal deadline.

7.8.4 Rights you cannot sign away. Nothing in these Creator Terms waives any right under the New York Freelance Isn't Free Act or a comparable state or city freelance, wage-payment or anti-retaliation law — including the right to be free from retaliation and the right to statutory damages, double damages and attorney's fees. Any term that would have that effect does not apply to you.

8. Intellectual property and licence

8.1 As between you and MetaOriental, you retain the rights you have in Creator Content. Third-party materials, brand assets and platform tools remain with their owners.

8.2 Licence to us. For operating, displaying, reviewing, translating, categorizing, distributing, attributing, promoting and improving the Service and related projects, you grant MetaOriental and its affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable licence, sublicensable to our technology providers, brands, channels and distribution partners.

8.3 The licence covers hosting, reproduction, caching, display, public communication, performance, distribution, embedding, linking, excerpting, captioning and translation, resizing and reformatting, and generating covers or summaries, on the platform, our official social channels, brand project pages, event materials, and promotion connected with that content or project.

8.4 Name and likeness. You license us to use your name, username, avatar, voice, likeness and public profile description within the scope directly related to your content, profile, task attribution and the operation of the Service. We may not use these to fabricate an endorsement by you of a product or matter you did not address.

8.4.1 Paid advertising is opt-in only. We will not use your name, likeness or content in paid advertising, brand marketing materials, whitelisting or allowlisted media buying unless the specific Task Rule for that task ticks that use, states its term and territory, and states the separate consideration. Anything not ticked is not granted. You may withdraw the opt-in for future placements at any time in writing; content already placed, event records and archival copies are unaffected.

8.5 Duration. The licence lasts while your content or account exists, plus a commercially reasonable technical wind-down period after deletion. Backup, audit, risk-control, compliance and dispute-evidence copies may be retained as permitted by law. Content already lawfully re-shared, embedded, recorded into event materials, or separately licensed under a Task Rule cannot be recalled from every channel.

8.6 Unless a Task Rule says otherwise, this licence carries no additional compensation. Product suggestions, platform feedback and general ideas you send us may be used without charge, and we have no obligation to adopt them or pay for them, provided we do not disclose your confidential information.

8.7 Extended usage rights — organic resharing by a brand, editing, cross-platform reuse, paid advertising, whitelisting or allowlisted media buying, territory and duration — must be specified in the Task Rule. Anything beyond that scope requires a separate authorization and separate consideration.

8.8 MetaOriental's name, logo, interface, code, algorithms, databases, templates, task materials and brand assets belong to MetaOriental or its licensors. You may use them only within an approved task, for its term, and per our brand guidelines. Do not register confusingly similar marks, domains or account names, or create the impression of official agency, certification or endorsement.

9. Brands, products, links and third-party services

9.1 Unless a product page or transaction document expressly names MetaOriental or its designated entity as seller or merchant of record, MetaOriental provides content, discovery, distribution, attribution and growth support, and is not the manufacturer, brand owner, importer, warehouse or fulfilment provider of the products your content covers.

9.2 Product quality, safety, compliance, labelling, intellectual property, stock, pricing, warranty, logistics, after-sales service, recalls, refunds and official brand statements are the responsibility of the relevant brand, seller or fulfilment party, except for MetaOriental's own liability that cannot be excluded by law.

9.3 Purchases, pre-orders, group buys, payments, orders, refunds and after-sales service may be completed through Shopline or other third-party commerce, payment, logistics and social platforms and are subject to their terms and privacy policies. We do not control third-party systems and do not warrant their availability, decisions or conduct.

9.4 Use current authorized materials and valid links provided by MetaOriental or the brand. Do not alter price, promotion, eligibility, warranty, return, delivery commitments or safety warnings. On receiving a stop-sale, recall, correction or risk notice, stop the relevant promotion immediately and handle existing content as instructed.

9.5 Transactions, communications and disputes between you and brands, consumers, MCNs, social platforms or other third parties are the responsibility of those parties. We may help relay or coordinate; that assistance is not an admission of liability, a payment promise or a guarantee of outcome.

10. Tasks, attribution, rewards and settlement

10.1 Every paid task requires a written Task Rule published on the task page or in another retainable written document, which must state, at minimum: the legal name and full street address of the party hiring you and of the party obliged to pay you, and MetaOriental's role in the task; your own name and address; who may participate; the deliverables; the deadline; content requirements and required disclosure language; the attribution method; the reward rate or amount and the calculation basis; the value of the services; a payment date or a mechanism by which the payment date can be objectively determined; the date by which you must submit any list of services rendered; verification standards; and cancellation and adjustment rules. Where there is no complete Task Rule, no automatic payment obligation arises.

10.2 Attribution may be determined by dedicated links, codes, accounts, devices, event IDs, click or conversion windows, and order and payment status. Absent a verifiable manifest error, the combined records of the platform, Shopline, the merchant, payment providers and anti-fraud systems are the settlement basis. Where an earnings interface is provided, any real-time figure or estimated reward it shows is an estimate, not a final payable amount.

10.3 Invalid or ineligible activity includes fake or incentivized fraudulent traffic, self-purchase, duplicate or related accounts, bots, unauthorized promotion, activity outside the attribution window, activity without valid tracking, cancelled orders, refunds, returns, chargebacks, fraud, test orders, taxes and shipping, and anything else excluded by the Task Rule.

10.4 In cases of fraud, refunds, chargebacks, product or content disputes, compliance investigations, incomplete tax or identity information, or account security anomalies, we may suspend, adjust, offset or reverse related estimated or paid rewards within a scope proportionate to the risk, and may request supporting records. Undisputed amounts that already satisfy the Task Rule are handled under that rule and applicable mandatory law.

10.5 Payment. Where payment is enabled, you must provide banking, tax and identity information consistent with the payee entity, and you are responsible for reporting and paying tax on your income. We may perform information reporting, withholding, and settlement through third-party payment services.

• U.S. payees: provide a Form W-9. We may issue Form 1099-NEC where thresholds are met.
• Non-U.S. payees: provide the applicable Form W-8BEN / W-8BEN-E and truthfully disclose where services are performed. U.S.-source income may be subject to U.S. federal withholding at up to 30%, and we may issue Form 1042-S. Amounts lawfully withheld are treated as paid to you.
• Tax forms and payment records are retained at least six years.

10.6 Payment timing. Undisputed amounts are paid no later than the payment date stated in the Task Rule. If a Task Rule ever fails to state one, the outer limit is 30 days after the end of the calendar month in which you delivered — verification cycles, reconciliation and brand settlement schedules may set the earliest payment date, but they never remove or extend that outer limit. Payout requires your payee, tax and banking information to be complete; incomplete information delays disbursement of an amount, it does not stop the amount from being earned or restart the outer limit once you have supplied it. Where mandatory law — including the New York Freelance Isn't Free Act or a comparable state or city law — requires a written contract, a specified payment date, a shorter payment period, or prohibits waiver of a right, that law prevails and nothing here waives it.

10.7 You have no right to a share of any amount merely because a brand paid MetaOriental a budget, because the platform earned sales revenue, because your content received views, or because a link was clicked. You have no right to require disclosure of contracts, prices, internal costs, margin or allocation percentages between MetaOriental and brands, payment providers, channels or other partners.

10.8 Anti-double-charging. You may not charge multiple parties undisclosed fees of the same nature for the same activity, and must disclose in advance if you are simultaneously being compensated by a brand for the same content.

11. Data, privacy, confidentiality and security

11.1 We process your information as described in the Privacy Policy, including registration details, public social information, content and metadata, device and log data, clicks and conversions, tasks and communications, anti-fraud signals, and identity, tax and payment information needed for settlement.

11.2 To operate profiles, dashboards, attribution, anti-fraud, customer service and project coordination, we may share relevant information with affiliates, brands, technology providers, payment and commerce providers and professional advisers, with appropriate protections.

11.3 You may not scrape, export, sell, exchange or use user, brand, order, creator or analytics data obtained through the platform for unauthorized profiling, marketing or other purposes, and you may not publish sensitive personal information, private communications or unauthorized customer data in your content.

11.4 Non-public brand plans, budgets, products, samples, sales, customers, technology, task rules and platform materials you receive are confidential and may be used only for the approved purpose. General confidentiality obligations last three years from disclosure; trade secrets remain protected while they qualify as trade secrets under law.

11.5 On account compromise, misdirected data, unauthorized access, disclosure of confidential information or another security event, take immediate mitigation steps and notify us within 24 hours of becoming aware, preserve evidence, and cooperate with investigation and remediation.

12. Complaints, IP notices and cooperation

12.1 Where to send what. Use the reporting channels on the platform, or:

Copyright notices go to our designated agent under the DMCA / Copyright Policy.

12.2 We handle copyright, trademark, privacy, reputation, product safety and other rights notices under applicable law, which may include temporary or permanent removal, restricting access, preserving evidence, forwarding materials to you, disclosing necessary information to the complainant or a competent authority, and account action against repeat infringers.

12.3 Respond promptly to verification requests with authorizations, original assets, factual bases, disclosure records and other reasonable evidence, and correct, supplement disclosure or delete as instructed. If you do not cooperate, your materials are clearly insufficient, or risk persists, we may maintain or extend restrictions.

12.4 If you believe a measure was wrong, submit specific reasons and evidence through the channel we provide. We will review but do not guarantee restoration. The original measure remains in effect during review, and we may decline to disclose details that would increase legal, rights, safety or investigative risk. This does not entitle us to withhold the reason for a measure covered by 7.8, which we will give on request.

13. Indemnity and disclaimers

13.1 To the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and hold harmless MetaOriental, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, service providers, participating brands and channels against third-party claims, regulatory proceedings, fines, judgments, approved settlements, direct losses and reasonable defence costs arising from your Creator Content, your publication or promotion activity, false or misleading statements, failure to disclose a material connection, infringement of rights, unlawful conduct, account abuse, fake traffic, unauthorized promises, data or confidentiality breaches, or breach of these Creator Terms.

13.2 We will notify you of a covered claim when reasonably practicable. You will cooperate with investigation, evidence preservation, correction and defence. We may control the defence and settlement of matters affecting our reputation, platform, data, intellectual property or ongoing business, and you may not settle in a way that imposes obligations on us, admits our fault or limits our rights without our written consent.

13.3 Disclaimers. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service, creator features, content, data, attribution, links, tasks and related services are provided "as is" and "as available." We do not warrant continuity, security, freedom from error or interruption, complete accuracy, or fitness for your particular purpose. We do not warrant the truthfulness, completeness, legality, quality or suitability of any creator content or third-party material, and are not responsible for decisions you or others make based on it. Platform content and tools are not legal, tax, medical, product-safety, investment or other professional advice.

14. Limitation of liability

14.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, MetaOriental and its affiliates are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, or for lost profits, revenue, goodwill, opportunity, expected rewards, data or business interruption, under any theory.

14.2 To the fullest extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability for all claims relating to these Creator Terms or the creator features is limited to the greater of: (a) amounts we actually paid or finally confirmed as payable to you in the three months before the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) US$500.

14.3 These limits do not apply to: our obligation to pay undisputed earned compensation under an accepted Task Rule; our fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence; liability that applicable law expressly prohibits limiting, including statutory remedies, penalties, double damages and attorney's fees available under the New York Freelance Isn't Free Act or a comparable state or city freelance-worker, sales-representative or wage-payment law; and liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

14.4 Nothing here limits your obligations regarding repayment, fake-traffic or fraud reversal, IP licences, confidentiality, data security or third-party indemnity, or liability arising from your intentional, fraudulent or unlawful conduct.

15. Governing law, individual arbitration and class action waiver

15.1 Governing law. These Creator Terms and related non-contractual obligations are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Mandatory advertising, consumer protection, privacy, intellectual property, tax, labour and other laws of the place where you conduct your activity and where your audience is located continue to apply.

15.2 Informal resolution first. Before commencing arbitration or a small-claims action, the initiating party must send a written Notice of Dispute stating the account, facts, request and proposed resolution, and allow 30 days of good-faith discussion. Notice to us goes to legal@metaoriental.com and to MetaOriental Technology Inc., Attn: Legal, 61 W 62nd Street, 8H, New York, NY 10023. Notice to you goes to your account email. Limitation periods are tolled during this period, and completing this step is a condition precedent to arbitration.

15.3 Arbitration. Disputes not resolved informally will be finally resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules where applicable, otherwise its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and where applicable its Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, before one arbitrator. The seat is New York County, New York; if you are an individual you may elect telephone, videoconference, documents-only, or your county of residence.

15.4 Federal Arbitration Act. This Section is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator decides issues of interpretation, applicability, scope, enforceability and formation, except that a court decides whether the class action waiver in 15.5 is enforceable and any question reserved to a court by law.

15.5 Class action waiver. Each party may bring claims only individually, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, representative or private attorney general proceeding. The arbitrator may not preside over any class or representative proceeding and may award relief only in favour of the individual party and only to the extent warranted by that party's individual claim. If this waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request must be severed and heard in a court in New York County, New York, and all remaining claims proceed in arbitration.

15.6 Small claims. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction.

15.7 Injunctive relief. Either party may seek temporary or injunctive relief from a court to protect intellectual property, confidential information, data or account security, or to prevent irreparable harm, without waiving arbitration.

15.8 Coordinated filings. Where 25 or more similar claims are brought against the same party by or with the assistance of the same or coordinated counsel, the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules or the AAA's then-current multiple-filing process — including any process fee, global mediation and bellwether procedures — apply, with the resulting efficiencies applying equally to both parties.

15.9 How to opt out. You may reject this Section 15 within 30 days after you first accept these Creator Terms. Email legal@metaoriental.com with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out", or write to MetaOriental Technology Inc., Attn: Legal — Arbitration Opt-Out, 61 W 62nd Street, 8H, New York, NY 10023, stating your full name, account email, user ID and a clear statement that you decline arbitration. A timely opt-out affects only this Section; the rest of these Creator Terms continue to apply, and opting out will not adversely affect your account or task eligibility.

15.10 Confidentiality, survival and severability. Arbitration proceedings, evidence and awards are confidential except as needed to exercise rights, obtain professional advice, comply with law, or confirm or enforce an award. This Section survives termination. If any part other than 15.5 is unenforceable, it is severed and the rest applies; if 15.5 is entirely unenforceable, this Section 15 is void and disputes proceed in the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York, where each party waives a jury trial to the fullest extent permitted by law.

16. Term, suspension and termination

16.1 These Creator Terms take effect when you first accept them electronically and remain in force while you use your account, profile, content, tasks, links or attribution features. You may stop at any time and request account closure.

16.2 We may immediately suspend or terminate all or part of your access if we reasonably believe you have seriously or repeatedly breached these Creator Terms, created or risked legal liability, safety or reputational harm, infringed rights, manipulated data or rewards, refused a required correction, are subject to sanctions, or where we are legally required to act.

16.3 We may also discontinue creator features or close accounts for feature changes, project termination, resource constraints or other reasonable business reasons, using reasonable efforts to give notice in non-urgent cases; notice is not a condition of the termination taking effect.

16.4 After termination, stop using MetaOriental marks, task materials and non-public information. We may disable links, remove your profile and content, and complete necessary attribution, refund, dispute and settlement reconciliation. Undisputed earned amounts remain payable under the applicable Task Rule and mandatory law. Sections 4, 5, 6.6, 7.7, 7.8, 8, 10.4–10.8, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16.4 and 17 survive.

17. General

17.1 Changes. We may update these Creator Terms for feature, business, legal, regulatory, security or abuse-prevention reasons. Material changes will be notified in-product, by banner, by email or another reasonable method, and where important rights are materially affected we may require re-acceptance. Urgent security or legal changes may take effect immediately. Continuing to use creator features after an update means you accept it. Amounts already undisputed and earned under a Task Rule will not be retroactively cancelled by a later update, but remain subject to that rule's refund, invalid-traffic, fraud and compliance provisions.

17.2 Assignment. You may not assign these Creator Terms without our written consent. We may assign on reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition, asset or business transfer, or legal succession, with the assignee assuming our obligations.

17.3 Severability and no waiver. An invalid provision is adjusted or severed to the minimum extent needed to achieve its original commercial purpose; the rest continues. Not exercising a right immediately is not a waiver. Headings are for convenience.

17.4 Entire agreement. These Creator Terms and the rules expressly incorporated are the general and entire agreement about creator features. Except for parties expressly protected in the indemnity, disclaimer and liability sections, no third-party beneficiary rights arise.

17.5 Electronic acceptance. You agree to contract electronically. Clicking to accept, registering or continuing to use creator features has the same effect as a handwritten signature. We will retain the acceptance time, account, version, page, device, network and other reasonable records to evidence acceptance and performance.

17.6 Language. English is the controlling text. Any other language version we publish is for convenience only unless the page expressly states otherwise. Where we publish a Chinese version, it carries the same version number, effective date and document hash as this English text.

17.7 These are the only creator terms for the United States. These Creator & Affiliate Terms are the single controlling instrument for creators registering or performing tasks for the United States market, and they supersede and replace any earlier or parallel creator registration, content publishing or commercial promotion terms issued by MetaOriental or any affiliate in any language, including any 《达人注册、内容发布与商业推广须知》 accepted before the effective date above. Where a creator previously accepted such a document, these Terms apply from the date the creator accepts them here; nothing in this clause reduces any right that had already accrued to the creator, and any amount already earned remains payable on its original basis.

17.8 Read before you accept. If you do not understand any provision — particularly Sections 3, 5, 7, 10 and 13 to 15 — stop registering and consult your own legal or professional adviser.

Creator Onboarding Notice — Connected Accounts, Displayed Content and Measured Data

Effective: August 9, 2026 · Last updated: August 9, 2026

ENGLISH IS THE CONTROLLING TEXT. Any translation is provided for convenience only.

What this page is. A plain-language summary of four things that apply the moment you connect an account to MetaOriental: what we read from your platforms, what we display, how we measure your results, and when we can switch your page off. It does not create rights or obligations of its own — the binding terms are the Creator & Affiliate Terms, and each paid task is governed by its own Task Rule. Where this page and those Terms differ, those Terms govern.

The short version

• Connecting an account is a one-time read, not access. We read your public profile and recent public posts once, store a snapshot, and never store an access token. We never post as you.
• We display what you give us and what is already public — your handle, avatar, bio, the links and media you submit, and the products you pick.
• We measure clicks, visits and attributed sales ourselves, and our records are the settlement basis. Anything shown before settlement is an estimate and can go down.
• Faked traffic, faked engagement and faked orders end the relationship. So do faked follower counts on your application.
• We can unpublish your shop, disconnect your links or close your creator account at any time, without prior notice where the reason is urgent, legal or safety-related — but never as retaliation for something you are entitled to do (§8.4), and never to cancel money you have already earned (§8.5).
• Registering guarantees you no task, no traffic and no income. See the Creator Earnings Disclaimer.

1. What connecting an account actually does

When you connect a platform (TikTok, YouTube, and others as we enable them), you are sent to that platform's own sign-in screen. You approve the access there; we never see or ask for your password.

What we read, once, at the moment you connect:

• your account identifier and handle on that platform;
• your display name and avatar;
• your public follower / subscriber count;
• the public like counts on a sample of your most recent posts.

What we store: that snapshot, plus the profile link you type in yourself, so a human reviewer can see what we saw. What we do not store: your access token. Verification is a one-shot read, so a stored token would be a liability with no purpose.

What we never do: post, comment, message, follow, delete or change anything on your account, or read your private messages, drafts, private videos, analytics-only metrics, or your viewers' personal data.

Connecting decides nothing by itself. There is no follower number that approves you automatically. A person reviews every application and may approve it, reject it, or ask you for more. Where a platform's sign-in is not yet open to us, you submit your handle instead and we verify it by hand — the same review applies, and a self-submitted handle is unverified until we have checked it.

You can disconnect at any time by revoking access in the platform's own settings and telling us at support@metaoriental.com. Disconnecting removes the connection going forward; it does not by itself delete a shop page you have published, and it may make your profile ineligible to stay published.

See Creator & Affiliate Terms §11.1 and the Privacy Policy. Where we use Google APIs, our use of information received from them follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

2. What we display, and where it comes from

Your creator page can show: the display name, handle, title, bio, languages and categories you enter; the avatar and banner you upload; the profile links you give us; the videos and posts you choose to feature, shown as the platform's own embed or as a thumbnail linking back to the original; the catalogue products you pick; and any off-platform products you add.

Four things follow from that:

2.1 You are responsible for what you submit. Only submit content you have the right to submit, and only link to accounts that are yours. Our hosting, embedding, resizing, captioning, translating or featuring of your content is not verification and not endorsement — §4 and §8.1.

2.1.1 Products we do not sell. If you add a product that is not in our catalogue, the name, brand, image, price and link are yours, not ours — we do not check them, and shoppers are told so on your page. Keep them accurate and update them when they change. A price you leave stale is a complaint that lands on your page. Do not add a product you have not used or cannot honestly recommend, and if the link earns you a commission, say so — §5 and External Links & Embedded Content §5.6.

2.2 Embedded posts stay on their own platform. When your TikTok or YouTube post is embedded, it is served by that platform under its terms and privacy policy, and it can load their cookies or similar technologies. If you delete the original, the embed goes blank — we do not keep a copy of it to keep showing. See External Links & Embedded Content.

2.3 We may present it, not rewrite it. We may resize, reformat, caption, translate, generate a thumbnail, add a commercial or source label, and place your page in listings, search and recommendations. We will not change the substance of a genuine opinion, and we will not ask you to delete an honest negative assessment because it is negative — §7.6.

2.4 Unpublishing is not deletion from the internet. You can unpublish your shop at any time. Caches, backups, compliance and dispute-evidence copies, and anything already re-shared elsewhere, are handled as described in §8.5.

The licence you grant us for all of this — its scope, its duration, and the fact that paid advertising use is opt-in per task and never assumed — is in §8.

3. Disclose your commercial relationships

If you are paid, earn commission, get free or discounted product, or have any other material connection to a brand, say so clearly in the content itself — not only in a bio, not only behind a "more" link, and in the same language as the content. This is a legal requirement under the FTC Endorsement Guides, it applies to your posts on every platform and not only to pages on our site, and it applies whether or not there is a Task Rule.

We may add a commercial label ourselves. That does not replace your own disclosure. Details and required wording: §5 and the Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure.

4. How your traffic and sales are measured

4.1 We do the measuring. Clicks on your links, visits to your creator page, referred sign-ups, and orders attributed to you are recorded by our systems and our commerce, payment and anti-fraud providers. Attribution may be determined by dedicated links and codes, event identifiers, click and conversion windows, and order and payment status.

4.2 Our records are the settlement basis. Absent a verifiable manifest error, the combined records of MetaOriental, the commerce platform, the merchant, the payment providers and the anti-fraud systems decide what counts — not screenshots, platform-side analytics, or your own counts. If you think a number is wrong, tell us and we will look at it: support@metaoriental.com, subject "TASK PAYMENT". See §10.2.

4.3 What you see before settlement is an estimate, and it can go down. Counters and dashboards show estimated figures based on the data available at that moment. Final figures are determined after attribution verification, the refund, return and chargeback window, anti-fraud review, and settlement of the underlying order — §10.2 and Creator Earnings Disclaimer §4.

4.4 Some activity never counts. Activity outside the attribution window, activity without valid tracking, self-purchase, duplicate or related accounts, test orders, cancelled orders, refunds, returns, chargebacks, taxes and shipping, and anything a Task Rule excludes — §10.3.

4.5 You may not take the data out. Do not scrape, export, resell or exchange user, order, brand or analytics data you can see through the platform, and do not publish customer personal data — §11.3.

5. Do not fake the numbers

Zero tolerance. This is the fastest way to lose the account. §6.3:

• bots, click farms, automated or incentivized clicks and views;
• purchased, exchanged or otherwise inauthentic followers, views, likes or comments;
• self-purchase, purchases through family, staff or accounts you control, duplicate or coordinated accounts;
• fake, test or collusive orders, malicious or coordinated refunds;
• hidden redirects, cookie stuffing, traffic hijacking, link tampering, or any interference with tracking;
• misrepresenting your reach, engagement, audience or past results in your application, your intake form, your profile, or to a brand.

Where we detect any of it, we may — proportionately to the risk — invalidate the affected activity, suspend attribution, adjust, offset or reverse estimated or paid rewards, disqualify you from the task, notify the brand or the platform, unpublish your page, and suspend or terminate the account. We may ask you for supporting records first, and you may ask us for ours. §10.4, §7.3.

6. Content we will act on

Content that is unlawful, fraudulent, false or misleading, defamatory, harassing, hateful, obscene, exploitative of minors, dangerous, or infringing of someone else's rights; content promoting restricted goods without approval; content that alters a price, promotion, warranty, return, delivery or safety statement; and content you keep up after a stop-sale, recall or correction notice. The full list is §6, and the standards are in the Community Guidelines.

An honest, well-founded negative opinion is not in this category and never will be — see §2.3 above and §7.6.

7. Impersonation and account authenticity

Connect only accounts you own or are authorized to represent. Do not impersonate another creator, a brand, an employee or MetaOriental itself, and do not present yourself as an official MetaOriental agent, employee or certified partner. Do not charge brands, consumers or other creators anything in MetaOriental's name — §6.4, §6.6.

Participation is free. We never charge you to register, keep a profile, publish a shop or apply for a task. Anyone claiming otherwise is not us — report it to legal@metaoriental.com.

8. We can switch your page off

8.1 What we can do. Refuse or delay publication; add a label or context; limit recommendation or visibility; unpublish your creator shop; remove individual content; disconnect your tracking links; suspend attribution; disqualify you from a task; restrict features; and suspend or terminate your creator account.

8.2 When. Where our rules, a Task Rule, a brand agreement or the law require it, or on reasonable operational judgement — including legal or regulatory requirements, a court or government order, an IP, privacy or defamation complaint, a product recall or safety risk, missing commercial disclosure, false or misleading content, brand safety, fraud or data manipulation, technical security, or the end of a program. We may also discontinue creator features entirely for ordinary business reasons — §7.2, §16.2–16.3.

8.3 How fast. We do not need your prior consent, and we do not have to prove a violation before acting. In urgent, safety, investigative, rights-protection or legally constrained situations we may act without prior notice. Non-publication, restriction or removal is not by itself a breach by us and gives you no claim for lost exposure, opportunity or expected income — §7.4, §7.7.

8.4 What we will never do it for. We will not take any of these measures because you published an honest negative or qualified assessment that meets our truthfulness, rights, disclosure and safety requirements; made a required commercial disclosure; declined a task; asked to be paid; disputed an amount; reported a safety, legal or advertising-compliance concern; complained to a regulator, a labour authority or a court; or refused to do something these rules do not require. That is retaliation, it is prohibited whether or not you have ever accepted a Task Rule, and you can ask us for the reason behind any measure and we will give it to you — §7.8. Raise it at legal@metaoriental.com, subject "CREATOR RETALIATION"; it is reviewed by someone not involved in the decision.

8.5 Money you have already earned survives. Amounts that are already undisputed and earned under a Task Rule remain payable under that rule and applicable mandatory law, including the New York Freelance Isn't Free Act and comparable state or city laws — §16.4, §10.6.

8.6 If you think a measure was wrong. Write to support@metaoriental.com with the specifics and any evidence. We will review it. We do not guarantee restoration, the original measure stays in effect during the review, and we may withhold details that would increase legal, rights, safety or investigative risk — §12.4. None of this limits §8.4.

9. No guarantee of tasks, traffic or income

Registering, connecting an account, publishing a shop or driving clicks does not on its own create any payment obligation. A payment obligation arises only under a written Task Rule you have accepted and completed. We publish no typical or average earnings figures. Read the Creator Earnings Disclaimer before you decide how much time to spend on this.

10. This is not employment

You are an independent user or independent service provider — your own method, place, time and personnel, free to work for others, with no wage, salary, benefit, leave, insurance or equity entitlement. §3.1.

11. Changes to this notice

We may update this notice when the product or the law changes. Material changes are notified in-product, by banner or by email, and where important rights are materially affected we will ask you to acknowledge the new version before you continue. Urgent security or legal changes may take effect immediately. §17.1.

Creator Earnings Disclaimer

Effective: August 9, 2026 · Last updated: August 9, 2026

What this page is. A plain-language summary of what you can and cannot expect to earn. It does not create rights or obligations of its own — the binding terms are the Creator & Affiliate Terms, and each paid task is governed by its own Task Rule. Where this page and those Terms differ, those Terms govern.

The short version

Registering as a MetaOriental creator does not guarantee you any income. You may earn nothing. You may never be offered a task. We make no representation about typical, average or expected earnings, and we do not publish earnings figures because we do not have a reliable basis for any.

If you are deciding whether to spend time on this, decide on the assumption that you will earn nothing, and treat anything you do earn as upside.

1. What registration does and does not give you

Registration gives you: a creator profile, access to the community and content tools, and tracking links where a task provides them. Where and when we launch a paid-task system, registration also lets you apply for the tasks we publish — until then, there are no tasks to apply for.

Registration does not give you: a task, an invitation, a sample, a budget, traffic, exposure, a ranking, followers, sales, conversions, a term of cooperation, or any income. It does not guarantee that your content will be published, remain visible, remain distributable, or be attributable to you.

See Creator & Affiliate Terms §3.3.

2. When you can actually be paid

A payment obligation arises only where all three of these are true — Creator & Affiliate Terms §3.2:

1. We have published a written Task Rule for the work;
2. You have expressly accepted it; and
3. You have completed all of its conditions, including the disclosure requirements.

No Task Rule means no payment obligation. Registering, posting, being featured, or driving clicks does not on its own create one.

Two further things affect when you are paid, not whether you have earned it: passing the verification described in the Task Rule, and having complete payee, tax and banking information on file. Incomplete banking or tax details delay the transfer of an amount you have already earned — they do not cancel it. Payment timing, including the outer limit that applies even if a Task Rule fails to state a date, is in §10.6.

3. Why what you earn will vary — a lot

Outcomes depend on factors we do not control and cannot predict:

• your audience size, composition, geography and purchasing power;
• your content quality, consistency and timing;
• third-party platform algorithms, policy changes and account restrictions;
• the product, its price, its stock and its appeal;
• seasonality and competition;
• whether attributed orders are completed, refunded, returned or charged back;
• whether the brand continues or cancels the campaign.

Any figure you see about another creator's results is that creator's experience, not a prediction of yours. We do not publish typical or average earnings, and you should not treat any example as representative.

4. Any amount shown before settlement is an estimate

Any dashboard, statement or counter we provide shows estimated amounts based on the data available at that moment. They are not final payable amounts and they may go down.

Final amounts are determined after attribution verification, the refund and chargeback window, anti-fraud review, and settlement of the underlying order. See Creator & Affiliate Terms §10.2.

5. Amounts can be reversed

Estimated or paid rewards may be adjusted, offset or reversed — proportionately to the risk, and with the supporting records available to you on request. The full list of what counts as invalid or ineligible activity is in Creator & Affiliate Terms §10.3–10.4; in short it covers invalid or fraudulent traffic, self-purchase, coordinated accounts, activity outside the attribution window or without valid tracking, and orders that are cancelled, refunded, returned or charged back.

6. Costs are yours

You bear your own equipment, software, connectivity, travel, production and business costs unless a Task Rule expressly says otherwise.

Participation is free. We never charge you to register, to keep a profile, or to apply for a task. If anyone claiming to represent MetaOriental asks you to pay a fee, a deposit, a training charge or a "creator activation" charge in order to join or to get work, it is a scam — report it to legal@metaoriental.com immediately.

(Two things that are not fees: a Task Rule may price an exclusivity period or a content-rights grant, which is money paid to you; and a Task Rule may state who pays return shipping on a sample you were asked to send back. Both are set out in the Task Rule before you accept it.)

7. Taxes are yours

You are responsible for reporting and paying tax on any income, and on the value of products you keep.

You will need to give us a Form W-9 (U.S.) or the applicable Form W-8BEN / W-8BEN-E (non-U.S.) before we can pay you, and U.S.-source income paid to a non-U.S. payee may be subject to federal withholding of up to 30%. The details — information reporting, which forms we may issue, and how lawfully withheld amounts are treated — are in Creator & Affiliate Terms §10.5.

We do not give tax advice. Consult your own adviser.

8. This is not employment

You are an independent user or independent service provider: your own method, place, time and personnel, free to work for others, with no wage, salary, benefit, leave, insurance or equity entitlement. See Creator & Affiliate Terms §3.1.

9. Your rights under freelance-protection law are not waived

Where the New York Freelance Isn't Free Act or a comparable state or city law applies to your work, it applies fully — including any requirement for a written contract, a stated payment date and a shorter payment period, and any statutory remedy, including double damages and attorney's fees, which our contractual liability limits do not and cannot override. See Creator & Affiliate Terms §10.6 and §14.3.

You will also not be retaliated against for asking to be paid, disputing an amount, publishing an honest negative assessment, or complaining to a regulator or a court — see Creator & Affiliate Terms §7.8, which applies whether or not you have ever accepted a Task Rule.

10. If you rely on this for income

Please do not — at least not until you have a track record with us that justifies it. We cannot guarantee task volume, continuity of any program, or that the creator program will continue at all. We may change or discontinue it for ordinary business reasons.
