Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of basevos.com and the Basevos platform (the "Service"), operated by Basevos, Inc. ("Basevos," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you're using the Service on behalf of a company, you're agreeing on that company's behalf and confirming you have authority to do so.

Eligibility and accounts

• You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use Basevos.
• You're responsible for the accuracy of the information on your account and for all activity that happens under it.
• You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for notifying us promptly of any unauthorized use.
• Each Basevos account may act as a Brand (creating and funding campaigns) or a Clipper (claiming Drops and submitting content) — the Service supports switching between these roles, but you must accurately represent which role you're acting in for a given campaign.

What Basevos is

Basevos is a marketplace that connects Brands who want their content distributed with Clippers who create and post that content in exchange for payment. Basevos facilitates the connection, campaign funding, submission review, and payout calculation between Brands and Clippers — we are not a party to the underlying agreement between a Brand and a Clipper for any individual piece of content, and we don't guarantee the outcome, performance, or results of any campaign.

Brand terms

• When you create a campaign, you set a budget, payout range, and content requirements (a "Playbook") for Clippers to follow.
• Campaigns must be funded through Stripe before they go live. Funding covers your set campaign budget plus a platform fee, disclosed at checkout, that Basevos retains for operating the Service.
• Funds paid to fund a campaign are generally non-refundable once the campaign is live and Clippers have begun submitting content, except where required by law or at our discretion.
• You're responsible for the accuracy and legality of your campaign content, Playbook instructions, and any source video or creative assets you upload — including having the rights to use and distribute anything you provide.
• You agree to review Clipper submissions in good faith and within a reasonable time, and to approve, request changes to, or reject submissions based on whether they meet your stated campaign requirements — not on unrelated or arbitrary grounds.

Clipper terms

• You may claim a Drop that's open for claiming, subject to any requirements the Brand has set.
• Content you submit must be your own original work (or content you have the rights to post), must follow the campaign's Playbook and guidelines, and must be posted on the platform(s) the campaign specifies.
• You agree not to use bots, purchased engagement, fake accounts, or any other artificial means to inflate views, likes, or other performance metrics you report to Basevos or a Brand. We may reject submissions, withhold payouts, or suspend accounts found to be doing this.
• By submitting content for a Drop, you grant the Brand a license to use, reproduce, and distribute that content in connection with their campaign, and you grant Basevos a license to display it within the Service (for example, in review queues and campaign analytics). You retain ownership of your original content.

Payments, fees, and subscriptions

• All payments are processed by Stripe. Basevos does not store your full payment card details.
• Campaign funding: Brands pay their set campaign budget plus a flat platform fee, shown before checkout, in a single charge when funding a campaign.
• Clipper Pro is an optional paid subscription that raises certain usage limits for Clippers. Pro subscriptions bill monthly and renew automatically until canceled. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time from Billing settings, which opens Stripe's secure customer portal. Canceling stops future renewals; we don't provide prorated refunds for the current billing period except where required by law.
• Payouts to Clippers are calculated based on your campaign's payout rate and the performance data recorded against your approved submission, clamped to the minimum and maximum payout amounts the Brand set for the campaign. Payouts are processed according to our payout schedule, which we may update from time to time; we'll communicate any material change to how or when payouts are issued.

AI-generated content

Basevos offers an optional "Generate Clips" feature that uses third-party AI services to transcribe a Brand's source video and automatically produce short, captioned clips. Generated clips are provided as a starting point — Basevos doesn't guarantee their accuracy, quality, or performance, and Brands are responsible for reviewing generated clips before including them in a campaign's Content Kit.

Prohibited conduct

In addition to the specific rules above, you agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose, or to post content that's infringing, defamatory, harassing, or otherwise violates the rights of others.
• Attempt to circumvent Basevos to transact with another user outside the platform in a way that avoids campaign terms, fees, or review.
• Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or our systems.
• Misrepresent your identity, role, or affiliation on the Service.

Content moderation and account actions

We may review, remove, or restrict access to content that violates these Terms, and may warn, suspend, or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe are engaged in fraud or abuse of the Service. Where practical, we'll try to notify you of the reason. You may also close your own account at any time from Settings.

Intellectual property

The Basevos name, logo, and the Service itself (excluding user-submitted content) are owned by Basevos, Inc. and protected by intellectual property law. Nothing in these Terms grants you rights to our trademarks or branding beyond what's needed to use the Service as intended.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We don't guarantee the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any campaign will achieve particular results.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Basevos and its officers, employees, and affiliates won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service is limited to the amount you paid to Basevos in the twelve months before the claim arose.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Basevos harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms.

Termination

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service for violation of these Terms, non-payment, or as needed to comply with law. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including payment obligations for work already completed, intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability — will survive.

Governing law and changes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Basevos, Inc. is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. We may update these Terms from time to time; if we make material changes, we'll notify you by email or through the Service before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
