CITY XO may require additional information or verification before approving your Creator Network profile or offering you a campaign.

You must not:

• impersonate another person;
• submit someone else's social media account as your own;
• provide false or misleading information;
• artificially inflate your audience or engagement;

• operate an account for which you do not have the necessary authority.

CITY XO may reject or suspend an application or creator profile where information cannot be reasonably verified.

Verification may include checking:

• social media accounts;
• publicly available creator information;
• audience information;
• engagement information;
• content history;
• identity information; or
• other information reasonably required for campaign management.

Verification does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee of a creator's performance.

CITY XO may request additional verification where necessary.

05CREATOR OPPORTUNITIES

CITY XO may identify creators for campaigns based on factors including:

• content category;
• city;
• audience;
• content style;
• campaign requirements;
• availability;
• previous campaign performance;
• engagement;
• audience relevance;
• campaign budget; and
• Merchant requirements.

Being part of the Creator Network does not guarantee selection for any particular campaign.

CITY XO may choose which creators to propose to a Merchant or campaign partner.

06NO GUARANTEE OF WORK OR INCOME

CITY XO does not guarantee:

• a minimum number of campaigns;
• a minimum income;
• a minimum number of brand collaborations;
• a minimum number of events;
• a minimum number of views or impressions;
• a minimum number of followers;
• a minimum number of conversions; or
• any particular level of creator earnings.

Creator opportunities depend on campaign availability, Merchant requirements, audience fit, location, budget, performance, and other factors.

07CAMPAIGN INVITATIONS

When CITY XO identifies you for a campaign, we may provide campaign information such as:

• Merchant/brand;
• campaign objective;
• deliverables;
• content format;
• number of posts/reels/stories or other deliverables;
• campaign dates;
• submission deadlines;
• compensation;
• usage rights;
• approval requirements;
• venue or event information;
• tracking links;
• promotional codes; and
• other campaign conditions.

You may accept or decline a campaign unless you have already entered into a binding campaign agreement for that campaign.

08CAMPAIGN ACCEPTANCE

Once you accept a campaign, you are expected to complete the agreed deliverables according to the applicable campaign terms.

Campaign-specific terms may override or supplement these Creator Terms where expressly stated.

If a campaign requires a separate agreement, you may be required to accept or sign that agreement before work begins.

09CREATOR FEES AND PAYMENT

Where a campaign is paid, the applicable creator fee will be communicated before or at the time of campaign acceptance.

Payment may depend on:

• completion of agreed deliverables;
• submission of required content;
• approval of content;
• publication;
• campaign completion;
• compliance with campaign requirements; and
• other conditions specified in the campaign agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed, creator payments are made through CITY XO rather than directly by the Merchant.

CITY XO may deduct or account for applicable fees, taxes, withholding requirements, adjustments, or other amounts where legally or contractually applicable.

10NO DIRECT COMMERCIAL NEGOTIATION WITH MERCHANTS

For CITY XO-managed campaigns, CITY XO may manage the commercial relationship between the Merchant and Creator.

Creators should not independently negotiate campaign fees or commercial terms directly with a Merchant introduced through CITY XO where CITY XO has expressly stated that the campaign is being managed through CITY XO.

This does not prevent ordinary communication with a Merchant that is necessary to perform an approved campaign.

11CAMPAIGN DELIVERABLES

Creators must provide the deliverables agreed for the campaign.

Examples may include:

• Instagram Reel;
• Instagram Story;
• Instagram Post;
• YouTube video;
• event attendance;

Deliverables must satisfy the agreed:

• format;
• quantity;

• creative requirements;
• brand requirements; and
• applicable disclosure requirements.

12CONTENT QUALITY AND AUTHENTICITY

Creators must submit original, genuine content unless the campaign expressly permits otherwise.

Creators must not knowingly:

• purchase fake engagement;
• use bots;
• artificially inflate views;
• artificially inflate followers;
• manipulate clicks;
• generate fraudulent conversions;
• use misleading analytics;
• submit stolen content; or
• misrepresent campaign performance.

CITY XO may request reasonable evidence of campaign performance.

13CONTENT REVIEW AND APPROVAL

For CITY XO-managed campaigns, content may be reviewed by:

• CITY XO;
• the Merchant; or
• both.

The Creator may be asked to make reasonable changes where the submitted content does not comply with agreed campaign requirements.

Content approval does not necessarily mean that CITY XO or the Merchant endorses every statement made by the Creator.

14ADVERTISING DISCLOSURES

Creators must comply with applicable laws, regulations, advertising standards, and platform rules concerning sponsored or commercial content.

Where a campaign is paid, sponsored, gifted, affiliate-based, or otherwise commercially connected, the Creator must make appropriate disclosures where required.

Creators must not represent paid promotional content as an independent personal recommendation where doing so would be misleading or unlawful.

15CREATOR CONTENT RIGHTS

Unless otherwise agreed, the Creator retains ownership of original content created by the Creator.

However, a campaign may grant CITY XO and/or the Merchant specific rights to use the content.

The applicable campaign agreement will specify, where relevant:

• where the content may be used;
• duration of use;
• platforms;
• advertising rights;
• editing rights;
• reposting rights;
• paid-media rights; and
• other usage rights.

Creators should review these rights before accepting a campaign.

16THIRD-PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Creators must ensure that submitted content does not unlawfully infringe another person's rights.

This includes:

• music;
• photographs;
• video;
• trademarks;
• artwork;
• locations;
• people;
• logos; and
• other copyrighted or protected material.

Where third-party permission is required, the Creator is responsible for obtaining it unless the campaign expressly provides otherwise.

17CREATOR RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS

Creators must not make false, misleading, unsubstantiated, or unauthorized claims about a Merchant, product, service, venue, event, or experience.

Creators must follow the factual information and campaign requirements provided by CITY XO or the Merchant.

Where a claim requires evidence or approval, the Creator must obtain the required approval before publishing it.

18EVENTS AND VENUE VISITS

Where CITY XO invites a Creator to an event, restaurant, hotel, club, salon, gym, or other venue, the Creator must comply with:

• venue rules;
• event rules;
• safety requirements;
• age restrictions;
• identification requirements;
• dress codes where applicable; and
• reasonable instructions from authorized venue personnel.

An invitation does not guarantee admission where the Creator does not satisfy applicable eligibility or venue requirements.

19AGE-RESTRICTED CAMPAIGNS

Some CITY XO campaigns may involve venues, products, events, or services subject to age restrictions.

Creators must provide truthful age information where required.

A Creator may be excluded from a campaign where the Creator does not satisfy the applicable age or eligibility requirements.

Creators must not assist another person in bypassing an age restriction.

The Creator is responsible for their own:

• taxes;
