Creator Rights

1. Content ownership

1.1 You own your content

Creators keep 100% ownership of everything they upload to P3RSON, including:

• photos, videos and digital media;
• text, captions and descriptions;
• portfolio, story and live-stream content;
• artwork, music and performance content.

The exception is commissioned work made for a brand under a booking. The booking contract sets the brand's usage rights.

1.2 Metadata

You own the metadata of your content: hashtags, thumbnails, descriptions, captions, location data and timestamps. P3RSON does not claim ownership of it.

2. What P3RSON may do with your content

2.1 Limited license

When you upload content, you give P3RSON a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to operate the Platform. That means we may:

• display your content in feeds, search and your profile;
• cache it and make compressed versions for mobile and streaming;
• generate thumbnails and previews;
• use it for internal analytics;
• keep it on backup systems.

The license is for running the Platform only. P3RSON will not:

• use your content in marketing or advertising without your explicit permission;
• license, sell or sublicense your content to anyone;
• use your content outside P3RSON.

2.2 Brand usage rights on bookings

When you finish a paid booking, the brand gets the usage rights written in the booking contract. Unless the contract says otherwise:

Broader rights (exclusive use, work-for-hire, derivative works, sublicensing) apply only if the booking contract states them. If the contract is unclear, it is read against the party claiming the broader right.

2.3 Your own use

You may use your own content for self-promotion: your portfolio, other social platforms, demo reels, awards and your own marketing, unless a booking contract grants a brand exclusivity.

3. Copyright

3.1 Your copyright

You keep the copyright in your original content. P3RSON does not claim it. You may register it with the U.S. Copyright Office. P3RSON cooperates with copyright enforcement through the DMCA Policy.

3.2 What you promise

You promise that your content:

• is yours, or you have the rights to post it;
• does not infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity rights;
• complies with the law and the Community Guidelines.

If a promise is false, you agree to remove the content, to not re-upload it, and to cover P3RSON's reasonable costs from the claim. Your account may be restricted or ended.

3.3 What you may not upload

• Music or audio you do not have the right to use.
• Footage from films or television that you do not own.
• Photos taken by someone else without their permission.
• Logos or trademarks used without permission, other than fair use.
• Other creators' content without their consent.
• Realistic synthetic media or AI-altered content of a real person that is not labeled.
• Content showing a minor without guardian consent.

AI-generated or AI-assisted content must be labeled "AI-Generated" or "AI-Assisted".

4. Earning on P3RSON

4.1 How creators earn

• Bookings. Brands pay creators through Smart Escrow. P3RSON's fee is 10% of the gross booking amount, deducted from the booking.
• Tips, gifts and support. Fans send P3 Coins. P3RSON's fee is 20% of the gross value. This is the only 20% fee. A cash-out fee of 5% applies when you convert coins to cash. See the P3 Pro and Coins Addendum.
• Direct deals. You may agree terms directly with brands. Payments between users processed through the Platform carry the 10% fee. Payments made outside P3RSON are not P3RSON's responsibility.
• Subscriptions, coaching and partnerships. Any card-paid payment from one user to another processed through the Platform carries the 10% platform fee, deducted from the amount. These features are available from the date the app shows them as available.

The Stripe processing fee (2.9% + $0.30) is paid by the creator. See the Stripe Connect Addendum.

4.2 What creators may not do

• Charge a fee for access to P3RSON itself.
• Charge to read or send direct messages.
• Charge for content that breaks the Community Guidelines.

Paid features that P3RSON itself offers are not covered by these restrictions.

4.3 Your controls

You can turn tips on or off, set minimum tip amounts, turn booking requests on or off, and choose who may message you.

5. Removing content

5.1 You delete your content

Backups are cleared within 30 days after that.

5.2 Copyright takedowns

A rightsholder can send a DMCA notice. We remove the content within 24 hours of a valid notice, tell you, and you can send a counter-notice. Repeat infringers lose their accounts. See the DMCA Policy.

5.3 Other removals

P3RSON may remove content that breaks the Community Guidelines, is illegal, infringes someone's rights, shows non-consensual intimate imagery or harasses others. You get a notice with the reason and can appeal within 14 days. See the Community Guidelines.

6. Impersonation and likeness misuse

If someone is using your name, photos, voice or likeness without your permission, including through a fake account or an AI-generated or edited copy:

1. Report it in the app (Report > Impersonation) or email [email protected] with the subject "Impersonation".
2. Tell us where it appears (a link or the in-app location) and how you can show it is you, or that you authorized the account.
3. We acknowledge the report immediately and a person responds within 24 hours. We investigate for up to 7 days.
4. If confirmed, we remove the content or account and tell you. The person who posted it can appeal as described in the Community Guidelines.

For non-consensual intimate images, including AI-generated ones, use "Intimate image removal" in the app or email [email protected]. We remove a valid request within 48 hours.

7. Attribution

• When P3RSON or a brand uses your content, your name should be credited where practical.
• A booking contract can set how and where credit appears.
• Attribution is not required where it is technically impossible, where the brand and you agreed to waive it, or where the use is internal.
• A brand's use of your content does not mean you endorse the brand. Endorsement needs your explicit agreement.

8. Edits and derivative works

• P3RSON may crop, color-correct and resize your content for the Platform.
• Brands may make only the edits the booking contract permits.
• Significant alterations, including changes to meaning or intent, need your consent.
• The booking contract states which edits need your approval and whether you may use edited versions.

9. AI, likeness and digital replicas

9.1 No AI training

• P3RSON does not use your content to train generative AI models.
• Brands and agencies may not use your content to train AI models unless your booking contract or a separate written approval says so.
• No one may use P3RSON data for AI training without your consent.

9.2 Digital replicas need separate written approval

A brand or agency may not create or use a digital replica of you, or an AI-generated version of your image, voice or likeness, unless you give separate written approval first.

• The approval must be a stand-alone document or screen. It cannot be buried in a general booking contract, the Terms or a click-through.
• It must describe the intended uses: what will be created, the media, the territory, how long it lasts, and whether it can be changed or sublicensed.
• It must state any payment for the use.
• It covers only the uses it describes. A new use needs a new approval.
• You can withdraw approval for future uses at any time, in writing. Withdrawal does not undo uses that already happened under the approval.
• For a member under 18, no digital replica may be made.

Using a digital replica without approval is a violation of this policy and of the Community Guidelines. It can lead to removal of the content and suspension of the account.

10. Privacy and likeness

• P3RSON uses your name and image only on the P3RSON Platform.
• Brands may use your likeness only within the scope of the booking.
• No one else may use your likeness without your consent.
• For a minor, guardian consent is required for any use of likeness, and monetized use is not allowed.

Performances

If you perform (dance, song or other), you own the copyright in the performance. The booking contract states the brand's rights. You may perform the same material elsewhere unless you agreed to exclusivity. A booking does not make you a brand's employee.

Locations

If a location is visible in your content, you give permission for it to appear. You do not promise access to the location. A brand cannot assume it may reshoot there.

11. Disputes about content or usage

• The booking contract controls over this policy for that booking.
• Whoever claims ownership must show it, for example with original files, metadata or registration.
• P3RSON may remove content while a dispute is open.
• If you think a brand used your content outside the contract, write to [email protected]. We respond within 14 days. We tell the brand if the claim is valid. You may then pursue it under the Dispute Resolution policy.

12. What you acknowledge by uploading

• You own your content and give P3RSON the limited license in Section 2.1.
• Your content does not infringe others' rights.
• We may contact you if content appears to infringe.
• Booking contracts control usage rights for commissioned work.
• You can delete your content at any time.
