Terms of Service

Last updated: February 10, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of SimplrAds, operated by Simplr Inc. ("we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use SimplrAds.

Please read these Terms carefully. They contain important information about your rights, our limitations of liability, and how disputes are resolved.

1. Description of Services

SimplrAds is a software platform that enables:

  • Brands ("Brand Users"): To connect their paid advertising accounts, invite content creators, review and approve creator-submitted videos, deploy approved videos as paid media advertisements, and track performance metrics including ROAS, revenue, and ad spend.
  • Creators ("Creator Users"): To upload video content for brand review, earn commission payments based on the performance of approved advertisements, and track earnings and video performance through our dashboard.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of our services at any time with reasonable notice.

2. Eligibility and Account Registration

2.1 Eligibility

To use SimplrAds, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts
  • Not be prohibited from using our services under applicable law
  • For Brand Users: Have authority to bind the company or organization you represent

2.2 Account Creation

Accounts must be created using email and password. After account creation, you may link Google or other supported OAuth providers for future sign-ins. You are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate and complete registration information
  • Maintaining the security of your account credentials
  • All activity that occurs under your account
  • Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized account access

2.3 One Account Per User

You may not create multiple accounts. Each person or organization is entitled to one account. We reserve the right to terminate duplicate accounts.

3. Brand User Terms

3.1 Ad Account Connection

By connecting your advertising accounts (e.g., Meta Ads) to SimplrAds, you authorize us to:

  • Access your ad account data for performance tracking and reporting
  • Create and manage ad campaigns on your behalf using approved creator content
  • Pause or modify campaigns based on performance thresholds you configure

You remain fully responsible for all ad spend, campaign performance, and compliance with the advertising platform's own terms of service. SimplrAds is not responsible for ad platform decisions, account suspensions, or policy violations on connected platforms.

3.2 Creator Management

As a Brand User, you may:

  • Invite creators to your SimplrAds account
  • Set commission rates between the minimum and maximum rates permitted by your subscription plan
  • Approve or reject creator-submitted videos at your sole discretion
  • Pause or remove live ads at any time

3.3 Commission Payments

Brand Users are responsible for all commission payments to creators. By using SimplrAds, you authorize us to:

  • Calculate creator commissions based on revenue attributed to approved videos
  • Charge your payment method on the 1st of each month for the prior month's commissions plus platform fees
  • Process payouts to creators via Stripe Connect

Platform Fee: SimplrAds charges a platform fee of 10% on top of creator commissions. All Stripe payment processing fees are passed through to Brand Users.

You are responsible for ensuring sufficient funds are available for scheduled commission payments. Failed payments may result in service suspension.

License Tied to Payment:

Brand User access to Creator videos is strictly contingent on maintaining an active, valid payment method and remaining current on all commission payments. Upon non-payment:

  • All video licenses terminate immediately (subject to a 48-hour grace period)
  • Brand Users must cease all use of Creator videos
  • SimplrAds will forcefully pause all related campaigns

Continued use of videos after termination constitutes copyright infringement and breach of contract, carrying liability for unpaid commissions, platform fees, and statutory damages.

3.4 Content Responsibility

You are responsible for reviewing and approving all creator content before it is deployed as advertising. By approving content, you represent that:

  • The content complies with all applicable advertising regulations and platform policies
  • You have the right to use the content in advertising
  • The content does not make false or misleading claims about your products or services
  • The content complies with FTC disclosure requirements for paid advertising

4. Creator User Terms

4.1 Content Submission

By uploading videos to SimplrAds, you represent and warrant that:

  • You own or have the right to use all content in the video
  • The video does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights
  • The video does not contain illegal content, hate speech, or material that violates our content policies
  • You have obtained all necessary consents from individuals appearing in the video
  • You grant SimplrAds and the relevant Brand User a license to use the video as paid advertising on connected platforms

4.2 License Grant to SimplrAds and Brand Users

License to SimplrAds

By submitting a video to SimplrAds, you grant Simplr Inc. a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display to Brand Users, deliver to advertising platforms, create reports/previews, add watermarks, and enforce your copyright against unauthorized usage. This license continues for as long as your video is hosted on our platform.

License to Brand Users (Payment-Based)

When a Brand User approves your video, you grant that Brand User a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, payment-based license to use your video as paid advertising, subject to these critical limitations:

  • License is ONLY valid while the Brand User maintains an active payment method and their account is in good standing.
  • This license AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATES immediately upon non-payment, account suspension, or violation of these Terms (plus a 48-hour grace period).

Brand Users may NOT: Download videos for use outside SimplrAds, continue using videos after their license terminates, re-upload videos directly to advertising platforms, or use videos in any manner not explicitly managed through SimplrAds.

Continued use of videos after license termination constitutes copyright infringement and breach of contract.

You acknowledge that:

  • SimplrAds may revoke Brand User licenses on your behalf
  • SimplrAds may enforce your copyright against unauthorized users
  • You will not separately license approved videos to Brand Users outside SimplrAds

License to Advertising Platforms

You grant Meta, Google, Snapchat, and other SimplrAds-connected platforms a limited license to display your video to end users solely as part of authorized advertising campaigns managed through SimplrAds.

4.3 Commission Earnings

Creator commissions are calculated based on revenue attributed to your approved videos, at the commission rate set by the Brand User. Commissions are:

  • Calculated monthly based on the prior month's attributed revenue
  • Paid out on or around the 1st of each month, subject to Brand User payment
  • Processed via Stripe Connect — you must connect a Stripe account to receive payouts
  • Subject to a minimum payout threshold (currently $10)

SimplrAds is not responsible for commission payments if a Brand User fails to maintain valid payment methods. In such cases, we will notify you promptly.

4.4 Tax Responsibility

You are solely responsible for any taxes applicable to your commission earnings. SimplrAds may issue Form 1099 or equivalent tax documents where required by law. You agree to provide accurate tax information when requested.

4A. Video Licensing and Usage Rights

  • Videos may ONLY be used through SimplrAds-connected platforms
  • No downloading or offline storage of videos is permitted
