Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of terms

You must be able to form a binding contract to use sponsr. Creating an account, signing in, or using any part of the service counts as acceptance. We may update these terms; material changes will be announced in the product or by email, and continued use after the effective date counts as acceptance of the updated terms.

2. The service

sponsr.dev is a workspace for running sponsorships between brands and developer creators: deal rooms, briefs, scripts, preview review, tracked links with conversion attribution, and payment records. It is currently in public beta and free to use during the beta.

sponsr is not a payment processor, a bank, a talent agency, or a marketplace guarantor, and it is not a party to any agreement between a brand and a creator. We may add, change, or remove features, and we will give reasonable notice of changes that materially reduce the service.

3. Accounts

Keep your registration details accurate and your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. Organization workspaces are controlled by their owners and admins, who decide who joins. Creator accounts are invite-based; verification reflects an identity check at invite time, not an endorsement. We may refuse, suspend, or revoke accounts that break these terms or put the service or its users at risk.

4. The brand and creator relationship

Deals, rates, briefs, deliverables, and timelines agreed through sponsr are agreements between the brand and the creator. sponsr provides the workspace and keeps the record; it is not a party, broker, employer, or agent of either side, and it does not guarantee that either side will perform. Disputes about a deal are between the parties to it.

5. Payments and invoicing

Money moves off-platform, directly between brand and creator. sponsr records payment state (invoiced, paid, received) exactly as the parties declare it and holds no funds. The accuracy of amounts and the completion of payments are the parties' responsibility. The service is free during the beta; if we introduce fees for sponsr itself, we will announce them in advance and they will never apply retroactively.

6. Intellectual property

You own what you bring: briefs, scripts, uploads, and the content exchanged in a deal belong to the brand and creator as they agree between themselves. You grant sponsr a limited license to host, store, and display that content to the people you share it with, so the product can work. sponsr owns the platform, its design, and its marks. If you send us feedback, we may use it without obligation.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the service for unlawful content or activity;
• infringe anyone's rights or misrepresent your identity;
• spam or abuse invites, shares, or the messaging surfaces;
• circumvent attribution, access controls, or the tokened share links;
• scrape the service, probe or disrupt it, or reverse engineer it except where the law allows;
• misreport metrics, conversions, or payment state.

8. Disclaimers

The service is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, and we do not guarantee deal outcomes, creator performance, or campaign results. Attribution and analytics are measurements, not guarantees: ad blockers, cleared cookies, and third-party outages can cause undercounting. The service depends on third-party providers (hosting, database, email) whose failures are outside our control.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, sponsr is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, lost profits, or lost data. Our total aggregate liability for claims arising from the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid sponsr in the twelve months before the claim or INR 8,000. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law. You agree to indemnify sponsr against claims arising from your content or your dealings with a brand or creator.

10. Termination

You can stop using sponsr and request account closure at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that materially breach these terms, with notice where practicable. On termination we will make your deal records available for export for 30 days, after which they may be deleted per our retention practices. Sections 4, 6, 8, 9, and 11 survive termination.

11. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts of Uttarakhand, India have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these terms or the service, subject to any mandatory dispute resolution required by applicable law.
