Changes to our Terms of Service

It's been a while since we renewed our terms of service, and since our business, processes and platform have changed quite a bit, we are updating our terms of service accordingly.

We have launched these terms 08.05. and they come into effect 22.05.

So, what's changed?

In short: Quite a lot! We wanted to sum up the biggest changes for you here.

Here's an easy-to-read summary of the important changes to our Terms and Conditions:

  1. Platform use now includes purchasing content from influencer campaigns and other services, with Creator terms added as applicable terms.

  2. Several new definitions have been added, including Content purchase, Content fee, Credits, Participation fee, Minimum Budget, and Working day.

  3. We have now implemented a minimum budget of 1000 EUR for all influencer campaigns, in order to ensure fair payments for creators.

  4. The platform cannot be used for directing users to other services, as a search engine, or for avoiding Boksi's fees.

  5. Sanctions have been added for using the platform for unauthorized purposes or communication outside the platform.

  6. If you want your own products or materials in your Campaign or Project, you are responsible for providing the creators with said products/materials. Before shipping, you must specify if you want them to be returned, and you are responsible for all expenses.

  7. If you cancel an Influencer Campaign after publishing, you may be liable for fees, including the Minimum Budget (EUR 1000) or fees for Creators already accepted to the campaign.

  8. A new section on Billing and Purchasing Content has been added with more detailed information on billing practicalities. In short, you are responsible for ensuring your billing information is correct and up to date.

  9. We updated our terms regarding Content Projects. These include (but aren't limited to): credits now expire after 12 months if no new purchases are made, and we have the right to charge the Content fee 14 days after a project ends.

  10. You can now use credit cards to purchase content, so we added terms regarding the usage of those.
