Terms of Service

Favente is a product of Deo Favente, Corp.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Favente (the platform at favente.so, app.favente.so, and related subdomains), operated by Deo Favente, Corp. (dba Favente) ("Favente," "we," "us"). By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use Favente. These Terms include an arbitration agreement and class-action waiver (Section 16) that affect how disputes are resolved. Please read them.

1. What Favente is

Favente connects companies ("Brands") with content creators ("Creators"). Brands configure creator programs: training, brand briefs, reward tiers, and payout rules. Creators join those programs, complete training, make and post short-form video content on third-party platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube), and earn rewards when their content hits approved view milestones. Favente provides the software and payment facilitation; it does not itself buy the content or employ the Creators.

2. Accounts and eligibility

• You sign in with a Google account (Brands may also connect Slack), and you're responsible for all activity under your account. Keep your credentials secure and tell us promptly at support@favente.so if you suspect unauthorized use.
• You must provide accurate information, including the social profile URLs used to verify your content, and keep it current.
• You must be at least 16 to use Favente, and at least 18 (or the age of majority where you live) to receive payouts. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian must receive payouts on your behalf where the law allows.
• You must not be barred from using the service under the laws of the US or your country, and you must not be on a US sanctions list or located in a comprehensively embargoed region.

3. Terms for Creators

• Independent contractor. You are not an employee, agent, or partner of Favente or of any Brand. Nothing here creates an employment relationship, and you're free to work with anyone else.
• Program agreements. Each Brand's program has its own creator agreement (shown before your first reward claim) and brand brief. Those terms supplement these Terms, and where they conflict on program-specific matters, those terms control over these Terms.
• Authenticity and disclosure. Your content must be your own authentic work. You must clearly disclose your relationship with the Brand in every sponsored post as required by law (for example, FTC endorsement guides in the United States: "#ad" or your platform's paid-partnership label).
• Content license. You keep ownership of your content. By submitting content through a Brand's program, you grant that Brand a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and share it in connection with their marketing, including running it as a paid advertisement (for example boosting or "Spark"/whitelisted ads on the platform where you posted), and using your handle, name, and likeness as they appear in that content for those ads, per that program's creator agreement. You grant Favente the right to host, analyze, and display your submissions to operate the service (including AI review, coaching, and your public creator résumé if you opt in).
• Rewards and verification. Rewards are earned per the program's published tiers, subject to review: self-reported with proof, then AI review against the brand brief, peer review by other creators, and Brand approval. Metrics you submit must be accurate, and we may verify them against public data from the platform where you posted.
• Fraud. Purchased views, bots, engagement pods, view manipulation, recycled or stolen content, or false metrics forfeit the associated rewards and may result in removal from programs and the platform.
• Taxes. You're responsible for your own taxes. US creators earning $600+ in a year may receive a 1099; payouts may require completing tax forms through Stripe.

4. Terms for Brands

• Your program, your obligations. You're responsible for the rewards you publish. When a claim is reviewed and approved under your program's rules, you must pay it.
• Content review. You're responsible for reviewing and approving creator claims in a timely, good-faith manner. AI analysis is decision support, not a decision.
• Subscriptions. Paid plans bill as described at favente.so/pricing. Subscriptions renew automatically for the interval you chose until cancelled. You can cancel anytime and keep access through the end of the paid period; paid periods aren't refunded except where required by law.
• Creator relationships and data. Your creator agreement governs your relationship with your creators. You may not use Favente to solicit employment misclassification or to circumvent payouts creators have earned. Creator personal data you access through Favente may be used only to run your program and must be handled in line with applicable privacy law.
• Compliance. You're responsible for your program's advertising and disclosure compliance, including the FTC endorsement guides and platform rules.

5. Payments, payouts, and refunds

Creator payouts are processed by Stripe (including Stripe Connect); Brand subscriptions are billed by Stripe as well. Favente never stores your full bank or card details. Payout timing depends on approval, program locking periods (refund/fraud buffers set by the Brand), and Stripe processing. Favente facilitates payments between Brands and Creators; except where we expressly say otherwise, the payment obligation for rewards is the Brand's. You agree not to initiate chargebacks for validly incurred subscription charges before contacting us to resolve the issue. Fees and taxes may apply as shown at checkout.

6. Text messages (SMS)

Favente sends text messages only to numbers that have opted in, and only for two purposes:

• Account and security texts, such as one-time verification codes when you add or confirm a phone number. These are transactional and tied to actions you take.
• Reward and payout updates, only if you separately check the optional consent box for text updates about the programs you join. This is never required to use Favente or to receive payouts.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any message to opt out of further texts, and HELP for help, or email support@favente.so. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. How we handle the mobile information you provide is described in our Privacy Policy, and we do not share that information or your opt-in with third parties for their own marketing.

7. Acceptable use

You may not use Favente to:

• post or promote unlawful, deceptive, harassing, or infringing content;
• manipulate metrics, the review process, or peer review;
• scrape, reverse-engineer, probe, overload, or disrupt the service, or bypass its security or rate limits;
• misrepresent who you are or your relationship with any Brand;
• upload malware, or use the service to violate anyone's privacy or intellectual-property rights.

8. AI features

Favente uses AI to analyze video content, score hooks, verify brief coverage, and generate coaching. AI output can be wrong or incomplete. It's provided as guidance and decision support, not professional advice, and final decisions about content and payouts rest with people. Where AI is used in a way that could affect a reward, a person makes or can review the final call.

9. Intellectual property and feedback

The Favente platform (its software, design, branding, and content we create) belongs to Deo Favente, Corp. and is protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the service under these Terms; we reserve all rights not expressly granted. You keep ownership of the content and materials you submit, subject to the licenses in Section 3. If you send us feedback or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use them without obligation to you.

10. Third-party platforms and services

Favente works alongside third-party platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube) and service providers (for example, Google, Stripe, and our AI and messaging vendors). We don't control those services, and your use of them is governed by their own terms. We're not responsible for their acts, omissions, or availability.

11. Copyright and DMCA

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to valid notices under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe content on Favente infringes your copyright, email support@favente.so with the work at issue, the material's location, your contact information, and a good-faith statement. We may remove infringing material and terminate repeat infringers.

12. Termination

You can stop using Favente anytime. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, or where required for legal or security reasons, with notice where practicable. Rewards already earned and approved before termination remain payable unless forfeited under the fraud provisions. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 5, 9, 13–16) survive termination.

13. Disclaimers

Favente is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't guarantee views, earnings, campaign results, or uninterrupted or error-free service.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Deo Favente, Corp.'s total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the service is limited to the greater of $100 or the amounts you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. We're not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Deo Favente, Corp. and its officers, employees, and agents from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your content, your use of the service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

16. Dispute resolution; arbitration; class-action waiver

Informal resolution first. Before filing anything, contact us at support@favente.so and give us 30 days to try to resolve the dispute.

Binding arbitration. If we can't resolve it, you and Favente agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service will be settled by binding individual arbitration administered under the rules of a recognized US arbitration provider, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court or seek injunctive relief for intellectual-property misuse.

Class-action waiver. Disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis; you and Favente waive any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action.

30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this Section 16 by emailing support@favente.so within 30 days of first accepting these Terms; opting out doesn't affect the rest of the Terms.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be announced in the app or by email, and the "last updated" date above will change. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

18. General

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. They are the entire agreement between you and Favente about the service and supersede prior agreements on that subject. You may not assign them without our consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision isn't a waiver. We're not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
