All Compensation is required to be paid or facilitated through the Dashboard, and in the event that you provide Compensation to any Influencer in connection with a Campaign outside of the Dashboard or without our express consent, your access to the Services may be terminated immediately at our discretion. In addition, you will be required to pay us, in addition to any Plan Fees and Taxes, any amounts we should have otherwise been entitled to receive had the Compensation been facilitated through the Dashboard.
- Subject to these Terms, you will have the sole responsibility for setting out the requirements for each Campaign (the “Campaign Requirements”), including, without limitation, reach, engagement, and location.

- Prior to an Influencer commencing a Campaign, where the Compensation is by way of monetary payment, you will be required to ensure that there is a sufficient Deposit to enable us to pay the Influencer on your behalf the Compensation payable upon completion of the Campaign. As outlined above, we shall be entitled to charge the Deposit Processing Fee. In addition, for each Campaign, we will charge a processing fee (the “Processing Fee”) equal to 5% of the total Compensation payable to the Influencer for the Campaign, which for clarity, in the event the Compensation consists of a combination of monetary compensation and/or produces or services, the Processing Fee shall be based on the total value of all monetary compensation. You authorize us or our third-party payment processing partner to charge your payment method for the Processing Fee when due.
- In the event you request an Influencer to undertake a Campaign but fail to pay the Influencer the Compensation within a reasonable period of time after the Influencer has completed the Campaign, you hereby authorize us to pay the Influencer the Compensation due and authorize us to use any Deposit or charge your payment method the amount of the Compensation, together with the Processing Fee.
