You keep the majority of every sale.

Creators receive 70% of each sale price, paid out monthly via Stripe once your balance reaches $10. AFTERGLO's 30% covers all platform costs including payment processing fees, hosting, and ongoing marketplace development.

1. Introduction

This Creator Agreement ("Agreement") governs your participation as a content creator ("Creator") on the AFTERGLO marketplace, operated by Ward Legacy Group LLC ("AFTERGLO," "we," "us," or "our"). By uploading content for sale on the AFTERGLO platform or checking the certification checkbox during the upload process, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Agreement in full.

This Agreement is incorporated by reference into and made part of AFTERGLO's Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Terms of Service, this Agreement controls with respect to Creator-specific matters.

AFTERGLO reserves the right to modify this Agreement at any time. We will notify Creators of material changes by email. Continued listing of content on the marketplace after any modification constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement.

2. Eligibility to Sell

To sell Sequences on the AFTERGLO marketplace, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age, or be at least 13 years of age with verifiable written consent from a parent or legal guardian.
  • Have a valid, active AFTERGLO account in good standing.
  • Have a valid Stripe account (or be able to create one) to receive payouts. Stripe may impose its own eligibility requirements based on your country of residence.
  • Own, or have secured all necessary rights and licenses to, every element of the content you upload, including FSEQ sequence data and any bundled audio files.
  • Not have had your Creator privileges previously revoked by AFTERGLO for a violation of this Agreement or the Terms of Service.

AFTERGLO reserves the right to approve or deny Creator status at its sole discretion, and to revoke Creator access at any time for violations of this Agreement.

3. Revenue Share

When a buyer purchases your Sequence on the AFTERGLO marketplace, the revenue is split as follows:

Creator receives: 70% of the sale price set for the Sequence.

AFTERGLO retains: 30% as a platform fee, which covers all transaction costs including Stripe payment processing fees, hosting, and marketplace operations. No additional fees are deducted from the Creator's 70%.

You, as the Creator, set the price for your Sequence subject to any minimum or maximum price limits that AFTERGLO may establish. AFTERGLO reserves the right to introduce price floors or ceilings with reasonable advance notice to Creators.

AFTERGLO may, at its discretion, offer promotional discounts or sales on the platform. If a promotional discount is applied to your Sequence, your 70% share is calculated based on the discounted sale price. AFTERGLO will make reasonable efforts to notify Creators before applying platform-wide promotional pricing to their listings.

Free Sequences (priced at $0.00) generate no revenue and are not subject to the revenue share. You may list Sequences as free voluntarily.

4. Payout Schedule

Creator earnings are paid out on a monthly basis, subject to the following conditions:

  • Minimum payout threshold: Your accumulated unpaid earnings must reach at least $10.00 USD before a payout is initiated. If your balance is below $10.00 at the end of a payout period, the balance rolls over to the next month.
  • Payment method: All payouts are made via Stripe. You must have a valid Stripe account connected to your AFTERGLO Creator profile to receive payments. AFTERGLO is not responsible for delays caused by Stripe's processing times or your failure to maintain a valid Stripe account.
  • Payout timing: Payouts are processed within the first 10 business days of each calendar month for earnings accumulated in the prior month, subject to any holds or review periods.
  • Currency: All payouts are made in US dollars (USD). AFTERGLO is not responsible for currency conversion fees or rates charged by your bank or Stripe.
  • Holds: AFTERGLO reserves the right to place a hold on payouts pending investigation of a dispute, DMCA claim, or suspected fraudulent activity. We will notify you promptly if a hold is placed on your account.

To receive payouts, you are responsible for providing accurate payment information and maintaining a valid Stripe account. AFTERGLO is not liable for failed payouts resulting from incorrect or outdated payment information.

5. Content Ownership and Rights Certification

You retain full ownership of all Sequences and associated content you upload to the AFTERGLO marketplace. AFTERGLO does not claim ownership of your creative work.

By uploading a Sequence and checking the legal certification checkbox, you make the following representations and warranties:

  • The Sequence is entirely your original work, or you hold all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions required to distribute it through the AFTERGLO marketplace.
  • Any audio file bundled with or associated with the Sequence is either your original composition, in the public domain, properly licensed under a commercial-use license (such as a sync license), or otherwise cleared for digital distribution in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.
  • The Sequence does not infringe the copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights of any third party.
  • You have the full legal right and authority to enter into this Agreement and grant the licenses described herein.

You bear full and sole legal responsibility for the content you upload. AFTERGLO does not pre-screen uploaded content for copyright compliance. Any infringement claims resulting from your uploads are your liability alone. AFTERGLO bears no legal responsibility for content you submit to the marketplace.

By uploading a Sequence to AFTERGLO, you grant AFTERGLO a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, and promote your Sequence on the platform for the duration of your listing. This license terminates when you remove the Sequence from the marketplace, subject to reasonable archival periods and existing buyer access rights.

6. AFTERGLO's Right to Feature, Promote, or Remove Content

By listing a Sequence on the marketplace, you grant AFTERGLO the right to:

  • Feature your Sequence in curated sections of the platform (e.g., "Featured Sequences," "Staff Picks," category highlights) at AFTERGLO's sole discretion, without additional compensation beyond the standard revenue share.
  • Promote your Sequence through AFTERGLO's marketing channels, including the website, social media, email newsletters, and partner channels, without additional compensation.
  • Display your Creator name, display name, and Sequence metadata (title, description, preview) publicly on the marketplace.
  • Remove any Sequence at any time, without prior notice, if AFTERGLO determines in its sole judgment that the Sequence violates this Agreement, the Terms of Service, applicable law, or community standards. AFTERGLO will make reasonable efforts to notify you when content is removed.

AFTERGLO does not guarantee that your Sequences will be featured, promoted, or remain listed indefinitely. Listing a Sequence does not guarantee any minimum sales volume or earnings.

7. DMCA Takedown Compliance

AFTERGLO respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If AFTERGLO receives a valid DMCA takedown notice alleging that your Sequence infringes a third party's copyright, we will:

  • Promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing Sequence.
  • Notify you of the takedown notice (to the extent not prohibited by law).
  • Provide you with an opportunity to submit a DMCA counter-notification if you believe the takedown was made in error.

To submit a DMCA takedown notice regarding content on the AFTERGLO platform, contact us at afterglolights@gmail.com with "DMCA Takedown" in the subject line. Your notice must include:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
  • Identification of the allegedly infringing material on our platform (URL or sufficient description).
  • Your contact information (name, address, email, phone number).
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner.
  • A statement made under penalty of perjury that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

Creators who receive repeated valid DMCA takedowns may have their Creator privileges suspended or permanently revoked.

If you knowingly upload copyrighted content without authorization and AFTERGLO receives a valid DMCA notice, AFTERGLO reserves the right to pursue legal remedies including seeking damages and injunctive relief, following a written warning.

8. Independent Contractor Status

You are an independent contractor, not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer of AFTERGLO or Ward Legacy Group LLC. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment relationship, partnership, agency, franchise, or joint venture between you and AFTERGLO.

As an independent contractor:

  • You have no authority to bind AFTERGLO to any obligation or agreement.
  • You are not entitled to any employee benefits, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, or similar benefits from AFTERGLO.
  • You are solely responsible for your own tools, resources, and working conditions.
  • You may engage in other business activities that do not conflict with this Agreement.

9. Tax Responsibility

You are solely responsible for all taxes, duties, and levies applicable to the income you earn through the AFTERGLO marketplace, including but not limited to federal, state, and local income taxes, self-employment taxes, and any applicable sales or VAT taxes.

  • AFTERGLO does not withhold income taxes from Creator payouts.
  • If required by applicable law, AFTERGLO may collect tax identification information (such as a W-9 form for US residents) and issue tax forms (such as a 1099-NEC) to Creators who earn above applicable thresholds.
  • You are responsible for registering with applicable tax authorities, collecting any taxes you are required to collect from buyers, and remitting such taxes to the appropriate authorities.
  • AFTERGLO does not provide tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional for guidance on your specific tax obligations.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless AFTERGLO from any claims, penalties, or liabilities arising from your failure to fulfill your tax obligations.

10. Agreement to Terms of Service

By becoming a Creator on AFTERGLO, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to AFTERGLO's Terms of Service in their entirety, including provisions regarding:

  • Prohibited content and conduct on the platform.
  • AFTERGLO's right to remove content and terminate accounts.
  • Limitation of AFTERGLO's liability.
  • Governing law (State of Texas).

This Creator Agreement supplements the Terms of Service and does not replace it. Both documents are binding and apply concurrently to your use of the platform as a Creator.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate your Creator status at any time.

You may remove all your listed Sequences and cease selling on the platform at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Removal of your content from the marketplace will take effect within a reasonable time, but copies already delivered to purchasers remain valid under their existing licenses.

AFTERGLO may terminate your Creator access immediately and without prior notice if you:

  • Violate this Agreement or the Terms of Service.
  • Receive multiple valid DMCA takedown notices.
  • Engage in fraudulent activity or attempt to manipulate sales data, reviews, or payouts.
  • Provide false information in your Creator certification.

Upon termination, any pending earnings that have reached the $10.00 minimum payout threshold will be remitted in the next regular payout cycle, less any applicable offsets for disputed transactions or damages. Earnings below the $10.00 threshold at the time of termination for cause may be forfeited.
