3. User Content

3.1. Creating Content

As an influencer on the Burst platform, you may create and upload videos and other digital content ("Content") directly to the App. This Content will then be redistributed to your connected Instagram and TikTok profiles. By uploading Content, you agree to ensure that it complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and Burst's guidelines and policies.

3.2. Content Quality Requirements

Content uploaded to the App must be of high quality and relevant to the Burst community. It is your responsibility to ensure that your Content is truthful, not misleading, and does not infringe upon any third-party rights, including but not limited to copyright, trademarks, and privacy.

3.3. Ownership and Rights

You retain full ownership of all rights to your Content. However, if stated in the campaign description, certain rights may be transferred to the Brand. By uploading Content, you grant Burst a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, and fully sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, distribute, display, and perform your Content in connection with the operation of the App and Burst's business.

3.4. Influencer Approval Round

Before participating in a campaign on Burst, you must go through an approval process where the brand evaluates your profile. The brand will assess your profile, past work, and overall influence to determine if you are a suitable representative for the campaign. You will receive a notification of approval or rejection from the brand.

3.5. Content Approval Round

All campaign-related Content must be approved by the brand before it is published. You must submit your Content for review, and the brand will assess it to ensure it meets campaign requirements and Burst's standards. You will receive feedback and a notification when your Content is approved.

3.6. Reimbursement System

Burst offers a reimbursement system for purchases made in connection with creating campaign Content. To be eligible for reimbursement, you must submit proof of purchase along with your approved Content. Reimbursement will only be processed once your Content has been approved and published. Reimbursements are paid within 30 days of Content approval.

3.7. Additional Content Rights Clarification

By creating and uploading Content in connection with campaigns on the Platform, the influencer acknowledges and agrees that the rights granted to Burst under Sections 3 and 5 include the right for Burst to grant or sublicense usage rights to Brands in connection with campaign execution, marketing, advertising (including Creator Ads), and promotional activities, unless otherwise explicitly stated in the campaign terms.

4. Deletion of Content from Social Media Profiles

4.1. Deletion from TikTok and Other Social Media Profiles

If you choose to delete Content from a brand collaboration from your TikTok profile or other connected social media profiles, your earnings from that collaboration will be cancelled. This action is considered a breach of the collaboration terms and triggers an automatic forfeiture of any pending or approved payments.

4.2. Right to Retain Earnings

If you wish to retain your earnings from a brand collaboration, you must not delete the related Content from your social media profiles. By keeping your Content online, you maintain your full rights to compensation as agreed.

5. License to Burst

5.1. Grant of License

By uploading content ("Content") to the Burst app ("the App") or by sharing it on your social media profiles, including but not limited to TikTok and Instagram, you grant Burst a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, fully sublicensable right and license to use, copy, modify, distribute, display, and perform your Content in connection with the operation of the App and Burst's business.

5.2. Sublicensing

Burst has the right to sublicense these rights to third parties. This means Burst may allow partners, affiliates, agencies, and other third parties to use your Content in the same way Burst is allowed to under this agreement.

5.3. Royalty-Free License

The license you grant to Burst is royalty-free, meaning Burst is not required to compensate you for the use of your Content under these Terms. All payments or compensation you receive are limited to agreements specifically entered into in connection with your campaign activities on the Burst platform, including but not limited to CPM-based earnings (Section 11), Creator Ads compensation (Section 12.4), and affiliate commissions (Section 13).

5.4. Transferable License

This license is transferable, allowing Burst to assign its rights and obligations under this agreement to another party without your prior consent. This may include, but is not limited to, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, or other business transactions.

5.5. Duration and Survival

The license granted under this Section remains in effect for as long as your Content is available on the App or your social media profiles. If you delete your Content from the Platform or your social media profiles, Burst and any Brands to whom rights have been sublicensed retain the right to continue using the Content in any campaigns, advertisements, or marketing materials in which it was already in use at the time of deletion. This survival right does not grant Burst the right to create new uses of deleted Content beyond those already in progress.

5.6. No Infringement of Third-Party Rights

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights, permissions, and approvals to grant the license to Burst, and that the use of your Content by Burst will not infringe on any third-party rights, including but not limited to copyrights, trademarks, privacy, or other intellectual property rights. You agree to indemnify Burst against any claims, damages, losses, costs, or expenses resulting from or related to claims of third-party rights infringement involving your Content.
