Editor Agreement

This is the agreement between you and UGC Flows for editing work you take through the marketplace. You accept it when you create your editor account, and you cannot claim a job or request a payout without having accepted the current version.

You are an independent contractor. You are not our employee, agent or partner. You choose which jobs to claim and when to work. We do not provide equipment, software or training, and we do not withhold tax. You are responsible for your own taxes, insurance and any registration your country requires.

You must be 18 or older, able to work legally where you live, and the person actually doing the editing. Do not hand your account or your jobs to somebody else.

Every job shows the amount you will receive if it is approved. That number is yours in full, and it is the same number the creator paid: we take no platform fee off editing work. Nothing is taken from your number by us. Whop, which pays you out, charges its own transaction and withdrawal fees, and those come off what reaches you (section 7).

The rate is fixed when you claim. Nothing you or the creator do afterwards changes it. There is no negotiation on the platform.

Every job on the board is already paid for by the creator before you see it. You will never edit an unfunded job.

Claiming is a commitment. Every job has 36 hours from when the creator posts it. When you claim you get 24 hours from your claim, or what is left of the 36 if that is less, and never less than 6 hours from your claim. The deadline is shown on the job before you take it, measured on our clock, and you agree to submit every deliverable in the brief by then.

The board is a queue: the job with the least time left on its clock first. You can claim any of the first 5. Look at the preview before you claim. Until you have delivered your first job you can hold one claim at a time; once you have delivered it you can have 3 jobs on your clock at once, rising to 5 with a strong record. A job you have delivered and that is waiting on a review is not on your clock and does not count, so you do not wait on the creator's review to take more.

You can put a claim back at no cost inside 15 minutes of claiming it, 2 times in any 24 hours. After 15 minutes, or on a third return in a day, putting it back is a strike and the job goes back on the board as a priority job.

There are no extensions. If the footage is missing, broken or not what the brief describes, stop the clock from the job page and say what is wrong. That is not a strike, handing a stopped job back is not a strike, and when the problem is cleared you get back exactly the time the clock was stopped.

A claim that reaches its deadline with nothing submitted expires: the job goes straight back on the board as a priority job, where the next editor gets what is left of its clock, never less than 6 hours. No earnings are created and you receive a strike.

Work submitted late may still be accepted at our discretion. If the creator ends up using it, you are paid for it. If the job had already gone to another editor, you are not.

You cannot claim a new job while you have an overdue one.

Submit through the job page, nothing else. Delivery anywhere else does not count and is not paid.

Every job includes one round of revisions for things the brief asked for that the edit did not deliver. Do that round at no extra pay. A change of direction after delivery is a new job and is paid as one.

Earnings are created when the creator approves, or when an edit sits delivered for 24 hours with no answer. Once approved, the amount shown at claim time becomes an earning on your ledger and does not change.

If a creator rejects an edit you believe met the brief, say so in the job and we will look. Our decision on that job is final.

A strike is our record that something went wrong that was your responsibility. You receive one for: a missed deadline, putting a job back after the 15 minute window or for the third time in a day, a revision that runs past its own deadline, submitting incomplete or unusable files more than once, submitting work that is not yours, or repeated complaints from creators about the same problems.

Strikes count for 90 days. The first strike in 90 days means no claiming for 24 hours. The second means no claiming for 3 days. On the third the account is off the market, and any job you were holding goes back on the board as a priority job.

A strike costs you the pay on a job only when you are still holding that job: a revision you ran past its deadline. A job that went back on the board is no longer yours, so there is nothing on it to lose, and a strike never touches the pay on your other jobs.

A strike is not given for a creator's taste. If an edit met the brief and they wanted something else, that is a revision or a new job, not a strike.

A founder can review a strike and lift it for a documented emergency or a platform failure, and the ban is worked out again from the strikes that are left. A founder can also lift a ban.

Separately from strikes, we can suspend your account, take you off the market, or remove you from the platform at any time and for any reason we consider appropriate, with or without notice. That includes, and is not limited to, fraud, stolen work, abuse of a creator, taking work off platform, poor quality, or anything we believe harms creators or the platform. We can end this agreement at any time. So can you, by closing your account.

Every approved job clears for 3 days before it can be paid out. That window is how a refund, a dispute or a mistake is caught before money moves.

On top of that, we can hold, delay or withhold any earning or payout whenever we consider it appropriate. That includes, and is not limited to: a job under dispute, a creator refund or chargeback, an account under review for missed deadlines, quality or complaints, suspected fraud or a breach of this agreement, a payout account Whop has not verified, or a legal or compliance request. A held earning is shown as held on your ledger.

A hold is released when we are satisfied the question is settled. If we find the work was not delivered as agreed, or was not yours, or the creator's payment was reversed, the earning can be reduced or cancelled.

If your account is taken off the market, earnings that are not held or cancelled are still paid out on the normal schedule.

You are paid through Whop, and only through Whop. To be paid you open a Whop payout account and pass Whop's identity check (KYC). Until Whop has verified you and you have a payout method saved there, nothing can be paid out and your earnings wait.

Every Friday (New York time) we send everything that has cleared to your Whop account, once it is at least $20. Less than that waits for the next Friday. The amount is your cleared balance as we compute it.

Whop charges fees to move money: a transaction fee on transfers and its own fee when you withdraw to your bank, card or PayPal. Those fees are Whop's, not ours, they come off what reaches you, and you are paid what is left after them. We do not control them and cannot refund them. Whop's own terms apply to your Whop account.

You are responsible for your Whop account and payout details being correct. Money sent to the account you set up is sent.

We or Whop may ask for tax forms or identity documents before paying out, and we may report what we pay you where the law requires. Taxes on what you earn are yours.

Everything a creator gives you for a job is theirs and confidential: the footage, the brief, the brand, the products. Use it only to do that job. Do not keep it after the job, do not show it to anybody, and do not post it, sample it or reuse it anywhere. You may not put a creator's work in your own portfolio without their written permission.

The finished edit belongs to the creator once the job is approved. You keep no rights in it and you do not need to be credited.

You promise that the work you submit is your own, that you did not copy it, and that any music, footage or graphics you add are licensed for the creator to use.

To run the marketplace we collect and keep what you give us and what you do here: your name, photo, email, country, time zone, languages, WhatsApp number, Discord account, portfolio links, test edits, the jobs you claim and deliver, messages, ratings, strikes and payout records.

We use it to review your application, run your account, show creators who is editing their job (your name, photo and record), contact you, pay you, keep the platform safe, enforce this agreement, improve the product and meet legal requirements. We can keep your test edits and use them inside the company to judge applications.

We share what is needed with the services that run parts of this: Whop (payouts and identity checks), Discord, our hosting, email and storage providers, and anyone the law requires. We do not sell your information.

Do not contact a creator outside the platform about platform work, and do not give them your contact details for that purpose. Do not take a creator you met here to work off platform. This is the one rule that takes an account off the market on the first offence, and earnings tied to the job are cancelled.

UGC Flows owes you the earnings on your ledger that are not held or cancelled, and nothing beyond that. We are not liable for lost income from a job that expired, was cancelled, or was never claimed. You are responsible for any claim that comes from work you submitted.

We can change this agreement. If a change matters, you will be asked to accept the new version before your next claim or payout request. Earnings already on your ledger are not changed by a new version.
