Creators — read before you sign up
Creator Terms & Content Licence
The agreement every StuntKit creator accepts. It sets out the licence you grant us over the images, video and 3D artefacts you upload and over your name and likeness as they appear in them — what that licence covers, what it expressly does not, how long it lasts, and what you are paid.

What this agreement is
In plain terms. This is the document that lets StuntKit use what you upload. It is the important one.
1.1 These Creator Terms & Content Licence (“Creator Terms”) are an agreement between you and StuntKit (“StuntKit”, “we”, “us”). They apply to you from the moment you accept them, and they apply to everything you have uploaded or will upload to the platform.
1.2 They sit alongside the Platform Terms, which govern the marketplace itself, and the Privacy Notice, which governs your personal data. Where the Platform Terms and these Creator Terms conflict on anything to do with your content, your likeness or this licence, these Creator Terms win.
1.3 We have tried to write this so that a person can read it without a lawyer. The plain-English line above each clause is there to help, and is not a limit on the clause — but if you think the two say different things, tell us, because that is a drafting failure on our part and we will fix it.
1.4 In these Creator Terms, “Content” means anything you upload, submit or make available to us: photographs, video, audio, 3D scans, meshes, textures, garment and body models, artwork, captions, measurements, proof-of-delivery imagery, and anything derived from any of them. “Campaign” means a placement sold through the platform and carried by you.
What you are promising us
In plain terms. That the material is yours to give, and that nobody else in it objects.
2.1 You promise that you own the Content or otherwise have all the rights needed to grant the licence in clause 3, and that granting it breaks no agreement you have with anybody else — an agency, a sponsor, a club, a league, an employer or a record label.
2.2 You promise that the Content does not infringe anybody's copyright, trade mark, design right, privacy or personality right, and that it is not defamatory or unlawful.
2.3 Where another identifiable person appears in the Content, you promise you have their permission for it to be used the way these Creator Terms permit, and that you can produce evidence of that permission if we ask. Where a venue, an event or a third party's branding appears, the same applies.
2.4 You promise you are not a member of a copyright society — in India, IPRS, ISRA, PPL, RMPL or any similar body, and elsewhere their equivalents — in a way that has already vested in that society the rights you are granting us here. If you are, tell us before you upload. A grant made against rights a society already holds is void by statute rather than merely disputable, which means neither of us gets what we thought we had, and it is far better found at upload than after a Campaign has run.
2.5 If you are subject to rules that restrict what you may carry or endorse — a sponsorship exclusivity, a team kit agreement, an athlete's governing-body rules, a student-athlete name-image-likeness regime, or an employer's policy — complying with them is your responsibility, and you must not list a surface those rules do not let you sell.
2.6 If any of this stops being true, tell us immediately. We will work with you on what to do about it, and in most cases that means quietly stopping a use rather than anything more dramatic.
The licence you grant us
In plain terms. The core of this agreement. Broad, worldwide, permanent, and it does not end when your account does.
3.1 You grant StuntKit a licence over the Content. The licence is non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable and sub-licensable, and it is granted for the full term of copyright and every other right in the Content, including every extension, renewal, revival and reversion of that term. It is granted to the furthest extent and for the maximum duration permitted by the law that applies to you — including in perpetuity where that law permits perpetuity — and where it does not, for the longest period that law allows.
3.2 Under that licence we may host, store, reproduce, copy, back up, distribute, transmit, publicly perform, publicly display, publish, edit, crop, retouch, colour-correct, re-time, re-light, re-render, rig, retopologise, compress, format-shift, translate, caption, combine with other material, and create derivative works from the Content — in whole or in part, alone or with anything else. The media this covers are the platform itself, the studio and its previews, the web, social and messaging platforms, email, print, out-of-home and event displays, video and streaming, and press and investor materials. Where a genuinely new medium or method emerges that these do not describe, clause 15 governs: we tell you and ask, rather than relying on this sentence to have silently covered it in advance.
3.3 We may exercise the licence for the purposes of operating, providing, improving, securing and promoting the platform and the marketplace; of building, fitting, previewing and rendering placements; of making, running, delivering and evidencing Campaigns; of showing prospective brands what a placement would look like; and of our own marketing, portfolio, case studies, press, investor materials, showreels and public build-in-public posts.
3.4 The licence extends to your name, handle, likeness, image, voice, signature and persona to the extent they appear in or are captured by the Content, and to the 3D body and garment models built from it — on the terms and within the limits set out in clauses 6, 7 and 9.
3.5 The rights licensed, enumerated. Reproduction and the making of copies in any material form including storing it electronically; issuing copies to the public; performing and communicating the work to the public; making any cinematograph film or sound recording in respect of it; making any translation; and making any adaptation, including a two-dimensional work from a three-dimensional one and a three-dimensional work from a two-dimensional one. This list is written against the acts reserved to a copyright owner by section 14 of the Copyright Act 1957 so that nothing is left to implication.
3.6 The works licensed are identified by our upload record rather than listed here, because a document you sign once cannot name files that do not exist yet. Each item carries its own identifier, content hash, uploader and timestamp, and that record forms part of this agreement. You can obtain it at any time.
3.7 Territorial extent: worldwide, in every territory and jurisdiction, with no geographic limitation. Duration: perpetual, subsisting for the full term of copyright and all other applicable rights and not for any shorter deemed or statutory default period. Consideration: access to the platform and its distribution, the building of your 3D body at our cost, and the revenue share in clause 11.1, which is the whole of the consideration payable to you for this licence. The royalty payable under this licence, as distinct from that consideration, is nil. This agreement remains subject to revision, extension or termination on terms the two of us agree, and nothing here is intended to prevent that. These three things are stated expressly because the law of the governing jurisdiction supplies unwelcome defaults where a grant is silent about them, and we would rather be clear than rely on an implication.
3.8 The licence takes effect and is exercised separately for each item of Content, from the moment that item is uploaded, by our storing, processing, indexing and making it available within the platform. Each upload is its own licensing event and is recorded as one. Our storing, indexing, format-converting, thumbnailing and rendering of an item, and our holding it available in the catalogue, is agreed to be an exercise of every right licensed in clause 3.5 — not only of the right to host it — and wherever the format allows it we generate a derivative work from an item at the moment it is uploaded, so that for those items this is a fact and not only a term. No further act, notice or payment is needed to bring the licence into effect or to keep it in effect, and it does not lapse through non-use, section 19(4) of the Copyright Act 1957 being expressly disapplied.
3.9 No obligation attaches to the licence, now or at any time in the future. We are not obliged to use the Content, to keep using it, to keep it available, to account to you for any use of it, or to pay you anything beyond what clause 11 provides — including in respect of any medium, platform, technology, format or category of use that does not exist yet.
3.10 What the perpetual right does not include. It reaches the Content as captured, and renders and Campaigns you have already approved. It is not a right to drive, animate, re-pose, re-voice or otherwise perform your 3D body or any likeness of you into material you have not approved. A permanent licence over a rigged model would otherwise be a permanent right to make you do things you never did, which is not what we are asking for and not what you are granting. Clause 7 governs anything of that kind, every time.
3.11 Personal data is carved out of this licence. To the extent Content contains personal data — your measurements, your reference photographs, the scan intermediates behind your body model — we will not use that personal data for any purpose other than providing the platform and as set out in the Privacy Notice. A copyright licence is not a data-protection permission and this clause does not pretend it is: your rights to withdraw consent, object and require erasure operate separately and are unaffected by the perpetuity of this licence.
3.12 Viewers get a much narrower licence, from you, automatically. Anybody viewing a public profile, studio preview or embedded placement receives a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to access and display that Content solely as enabled by a feature of the platform — viewing, sharing a link, embedding a preview. It grants no right to use your Content independently of the platform, and it ends for future use when the Content comes down.
3.13 You may license the same Content to anybody else, on any terms you like. Nothing here stops you, and we ask for no exclusivity over your work or your career.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence
In plain terms. We may train our own models on your work. We will not sell it to outside AI companies, and we will not invent a fake you.
4.1 The licence in clause 3 includes the right to use the Content to develop, train, validate, evaluate and improve machine-learning models operated by StuntKit — principally the models that estimate a body from photographs, fit artwork to a garment, generate placement previews, and check a proof image against what was sold.
4.2 That right is limited in two ways that we treat as binding commitments, not as statements of present intention:
- (a) We will not sell, license, publish, trade or otherwise make the Content available to any third party for the purpose of training that third party's artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models, and we will not include it in any dataset assembled for that purpose. If we ever wish to, we will come back and ask you, separately and specifically, and a refusal will cost you nothing.
- (b) We will not use any model to generate a synthetic image, video, voice or likeness of you, or a digital double of you, for any purpose you have not specifically approved — not for a Campaign, and not for a demo, a pitch, an investor deck, a conference talk, a research showcase or our own marketing either. There is no carve-out here for our own use, because our own use is exactly where this would be most tempting. Generative output depicting you is treated under clause 7 as a digital replica and needs its own consent every time.
- (c) These two commitments survive a change of control. If StuntKit is acquired, merges, or sells this business or its assets, they bind whoever ends up holding it, and “our own models” does not quietly become the acquirer’s models. A successor who wants more than this has to come and ask you, as we would.
- (d) We are also responsible for the other direction. A model trained on many creators must not produce output identifiable as you while serving somebody else’s Campaign. We test for that, we treat any instance of it as our breach of clause 4.2, and it is not something you have to notice and complain about before we act on it.
How we ask for the training permission
In plain terms. Separately, not bundled into this agreement — and you can switch it off in one click, permanently.
5.1 Accepting these Creator Terms does not by itself give us the training permission in clause 4 over your body scan or any other personal data. Section 6 of India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 requires consent that is free, specific, informed, unconditional and unambiguous, given by a clear affirmative action, and limited to the personal data necessary for the purpose specified. Training a model is a different purpose from running your Campaign, so it gets its own request and its own affirmative act, on its own screen. Consent bundled into a document you had to accept anyway is not consent, and we would rather ask properly than rely on something that would not hold.
5.2 You can withdraw that permission at any time, from your account settings, with one click, account-wide, taking effect immediately. There is no form, no review queue and no waiting period. Withdrawing costs you nothing and changes nothing else about your account.
5.3 Withdrawal stops future training runs and removes your Content from the next one. It cannot un-train a model that has already learned from it, and we will not claim otherwise. Where we can retire or retrain an affected model on a reasonable timetable, we will.
5.4 This permission is never applied retrospectively. If we change what clause 4 covers, the change reaches only Content uploaded, or permission re-given, after the change takes effect. Content already in the platform stays under the version you agreed to.
5.5 Where you have withdrawn or never given the permission, we will also express that exclusion in machine-readable form — in our robots file, in response headers served with your Content, and in any comparable standard that becomes established — so that the reservation binds crawlers we have no contract with. Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 requires a reservation of rights to be machine-readable to be effective against text-and-data mining, and a promise in a contract does not reach a third party who never signed it.
Your name, likeness, voice and persona
In plain terms. Commercial use of you, not just of your files — which is a separate thing, so we deal with it separately.
6.1 Copyright in a photograph and the right to commercialise the person in it are different rights, held under different laws, and a licence over one is not a licence over the other. This clause is where you grant the second.
6.2 You consent to StuntKit using your name, handle, likeness, image, portrait, picture, voice, signature and persona, as captured in or derived from the Content, for the purposes set out in clause 3.3 — including in advertising and promotional material for the platform itself and for Campaigns you have accepted. This consent is given knowingly and in writing by your acceptance of these Creator Terms, and it is given for valuable consideration as described in clause 11.
6.3 It covers the specific techniques we actually use, named rather than left to be implied: photography and video capture, 3D scanning and photogrammetry, mesh reconstruction, rigging, retargeting and animation, compositing into campaign renders, and — only within the limits set by clauses 4 and 7 — voice synthesis, generative models and model training. A court asked whether a general permission covered synthetic regeneration of a person would be right to say it did not, so we do not rely on a general permission.
6.4 This consent is worldwide and perpetual and, like the licence, it survives the closing of your account. It binds your heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and it applies after your death in any jurisdiction that recognises a post-mortem personality right.
6.5 Your estate is not stuck with it. Post-mortem personality rights pass to your heirs in many countries, which means somebody who never agreed to this would inherit the right we are relying on. So: your executors or heirs may, on reasonable notice, require us to stop new commercial uses of your likeness, and may ask to renegotiate the terms of continued use. We will not treat clause 6.3 as an answer to them.
6.6 It does not make you a spokesperson. Carrying a logo is presence, not endorsement, and we will not present you as stating, believing, using or recommending anything. A statement, a demonstration or a script is a separate thing you price and may refuse, and no licence in this document obtains one for free.
6.7 Where the law where you live requires a specific, separate or differently-worded consent for a particular commercial use of your likeness, we will obtain that consent in the form that law requires before making that use, and we will not treat this clause as a substitute for it.
Your 3D body, and digital replicas
In plain terms. We build the model; you keep the rights in the person it depicts. A replica of you needs its own yes, every time.
7.1 When you ask us to, we build a 3D body model from your measurements and reference photographs so that brands can see a placement on you before they buy it. We own the model as a work we created. You retain every right you have in the likeness it depicts, and the model is Content for the purposes of this agreement, so everything in clause 3 applies to it and everything in clause 9 limits it.
7.2 The model and the garment meshes built on it are shown publicly on your profile and in the studio, because that is the storefront a brand is shopping. Your measurements and the reference photographs you sent are not, and they are handled under clause 3 of the Privacy Notice.
7.3 A digital replica — any model, render, animation or generative output that depicts you in a way a reasonable person would take for you — is treated more strictly than the rest of the Content. We will not create or use one for any purpose beyond previewing and rendering placements on the platform without asking you first, specifically, for that purpose, naming what it will be used for and for how long.
7.4 That standard is borrowed deliberately from the digital-replica provisions negotiated in the entertainment industry, where consent to a replica must be specific and informed rather than swept up in a general grant. A single blanket permission obtained at sign-up is not, in our view, honest consent to being synthetically depicted, and we do not rely on one.
7.5 Consent to a replica is asked for per use class, and each class is a separate act. The classes are: a still image; video; a static 3D artefact; an animated or driven digital double; and voice. The driven double is deliberately its own class — it is the only one that can produce a performance you never gave — and it never rides along on permission you gave for a static scan.
7.6 Every such request carries a reasonably specific description of the intended use: what will be made, for which brand or purpose, on which channels, in which territories, and for how long. A general permission to make replicas of you is not something we will ask for and not something this agreement grants.
7.7 Before you give any replica consent we will tell you, clearly and in the request itself, that you may take independent legal advice first, and we will record whether you did. Some laws make a replica clause unenforceable against a person who was neither represented nor given a specific description of the uses — we would rather meet that standard than discover later that the permission was worth nothing.
7.8 Replica use is paid for separately. A consent to be scanned is not a consent to work for nothing: any use of a digital replica of you carries its own fee, agreed before the use, on top of anything you earn from the Campaign itself. An unpaid replica permission is the thing the industry standards we are borrowing from exist to prevent.
7.9 Where a replica would be generated or driven in real time — live in a studio preview, or inside an interactive placement — we say so in the request. Whether generation is live is part of the description you are consenting to, not an implementation detail.
7.10 Every replica request is presented clearly and conspicuously: easy to notice, written to be understood without a lawyer, and unavoidable rather than reachable through a link you would have to go looking for.
7.11 If you are under 18 you cannot give any of these permissions, and nor can we accept them from you. Where a parent or legal guardian contracts for a person aged 16 or 17 under clause 2 of the Platform Terms, the replica permissions are theirs to give, in the same specific form, and the young person’s own objection ends the use regardless.
7.12 The raw biometric intermediates — scan point clouds, depth maps and face encodings — are kept only as long as it takes to build and validate your model, then deleted on a stated schedule. They are not the delivered artefact and they are not kept as if they were. The Privacy Notice sets out the schedule.
7.13 You may ask us to take your body model down at any time. We will remove it from your profile and from the studio, stop offering placements on it, and stop using it in our own marketing going forward. What we cannot do is recall a Campaign already made from it, for the reasons in clause 12.
What a brand gets when it wins a spot
In plain terms. A 12-month campaign licence. Not everything we have — brands do not inherit our licence.
8.1 The licence in clause 3 is sub-licensable, and this clause sets the ceiling on what any sub-licence to a brand may contain. We cannot give a brand more than this without coming back to you.
8.2 A brand that wins a spot receives a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to use the imagery and footage of that Campaign — the placement as carried, the proof imagery, and the renders made of it — to advertise and promote itself for twelve months from the date the material is first published by the brand. If the brand has not published within six months of winning the spot, the sub-licence lapses and has to be renegotiated — the clock cannot be started at the brand’s convenience two years later.
8.3 The twelve months covers organic and paid media alike, but it does not cover allowlisting: a brand running paid advertising through your own handle or account is a separate thing, priced separately, and never included by default. It is yours to agree to or refuse, campaign by campaign.
8.4 Brands work through agencies, and a flat ban on onward sub-licensing would be broken the day it was written. So a brand may extend its sub-licence to the named agencies and media buyers recorded against that Campaign, on identical terms and no wider. Anybody not named in the Campaign record has no rights at all, and neither we nor the brand can widen the grant without the other and without you.
8.5 That term is renewable, but only by agreement: a brand that wants longer must come back through the platform, and you are paid again for the extension. Silence is not a renewal, and a brand that keeps running a Campaign after its term has expired is in breach of its sub-licence and we will enforce it.
8.6 After the term ends, the brand must stop making any new use of the material, and must stop all paid amplification immediately — that one is not a wind-down, it is a switch. Organic posts already published may stay up. The brand is not required to recall media already distributed, to scrub archives or third-party platforms it does not control, or to delete internal records, which is a real limit on what a licence can achieve and we would rather say so than imply otherwise.
8.7 Your category blocks bind every sub-licence. If you have blocked gambling, alcohol, cannabis, political advertising, adult material or anything else, no brand may place you in it and no sub-licence reaches it, including by re-use of older material.
8.8 A brand never receives the right to sub-license onward beyond clause 8.4, to alter the Campaign imagery in a way that changes what you appear to be endorsing, to alter your appearance — your body shape, skin tone, age or physique, to use it outside the Campaign it bought, or to use any right granted to us under clauses 4, 6 or 7 beyond what this clause allows.
8.9 StuntKit's own rights under clause 3 are unaffected by the expiry of any brand's sub-licence. Ours are perpetual; theirs are not.
What we will never do
In plain terms. The edges of the licence. These bind us, and you can enforce them against us.
9.1 A licence as broad as clause 3 is only reasonable if it has limits, so here they are. These are contractual obligations owed to you, enforceable by you, and they survive for as long as the licence does.
- (a) We will not sell, license or otherwise supply the Content to a third party for AI or machine-learning training, as set out in clause 4.2(a).
- (b) We will not use the Content in a way that states or implies you endorse, use or recommend a product, person, party or cause, unless you specifically agreed to that endorsement.
- (c) We will not place you in a Campaign for a category you have blocked, or for a brand you have rejected, whether by new placement, by re-use of old material, or by generative means.
- (d) We will not create or publish a digital replica of you outside the limits in clause 7.3.
- (e) We will not use the Content in pornographic, sexually explicit or gratuitously violent material, or in political campaigning, without your specific written agreement.
- (f) We will not use the Content in a way we know to be defamatory of you, or that we know would expose you to ridicule, hatred or risk of harm.
- (g) We will not sell your contact details, and we will not hand a brand your personal data beyond what the Privacy Notice permits.
- (h) We will not use the Content to train a model whose purpose is to replace you — that is, to generate placements on synthetic people in order to avoid paying creators for the same work.
Moral rights and credit
In plain terms. We are not asking you to give up your moral rights. We are asking you not to use them to stop ordinary editing.
10.1 In India, France, Germany and many other countries an author's moral rights — to be identified as the author, and to object to derogatory treatment of the work — cannot lawfully be sold or waived. We are not going to ask you to do something the law will not let you do, and a clause purporting to take a waiver would be void exactly where it mattered.
10.2 So instead you give a specific consent to specific acts, which is the thing that is enforceable where a blanket waiver is not. You consent to, and agree not to assert your moral rights against, the following done by StuntKit or anybody we sub-license: cropping, resizing, recolouring and colour correction; compression, format conversion, decimation, retopology and re-rendering; retexturing, re-rigging and retargeting; compositing your Content with other works, with brand artwork and with sponsor assets; overlaying text, graphics and audio; generating derivative two-dimensional and three-dimensional works from it; and displaying it without attribution where the format does not carry a credit.
10.3 That list is deliberately not limited to routine technical handling. Compositing a placement onto a garment mesh and re-rendering it is what this platform does, and a consent that quietly excluded our actual work would be worth nothing to either of us.
10.4 Each of those acts is carried out for the purposes in clause 3.3 and within the limits in clause 9, and you and we agree that none of them is, or is to be treated as, prejudicial to your honour or reputation.
10.5 That agreement not to assert goes no further. It does not touch your right to object to genuinely derogatory treatment, to distortion or mutilation of the work, or to anything that prejudices your honour or reputation. Those rights remain yours and we do not want them.
10.6 Where waiver is permitted by the law that applies to you, and only to the extent it is permitted, you waive your moral rights for the purposes described in clause 10.2. Where it is not permitted, clause 10.2 applies instead and clause 10.3 continues to limit it.
10.7 Two things this does not give you, for completeness. You cannot use your moral rights to require us to publish your Content, or to publish it in a particular placement or to your satisfaction — not showing a work is not an infringement of these rights. And nothing in this clause limits your right to object to genuine distortion or mutilation that does harm your honour or reputation, which is the case this protection exists for.
10.8 We credit creators by name where the format reasonably allows it. Where it does not — inside a render, on a garment mesh, in a compressed preview — no credit is given, and you agree that the absence of credit in those places is not a breach.
What you are paid, and why the licence is royalty-free
In plain terms. You are paid 75% through the marketplace. The licence itself carries no separate fee — and that is the deal, stated plainly.
11.1 You are paid through the marketplace, not through this licence. When a spot you listed is won and the Campaign settles, you receive 75% of the amount the spot closed at, under clause 4 of the Platform Terms. That, together with access to the platform, the building of your 3D body at our cost, and the distribution and promotion we provide, is the consideration for the licence in clause 3 and the consent in clause 6, and you acknowledge it as good, valuable and sufficient consideration for both.
11.2 The licence is royalty-free and fully paid-up. No further royalty, residual, participation, usage fee or other payment is due to you for any exercise of it, whether by us or by anybody we sub-license, at any time, in any medium, including media and technologies that do not yet exist.
11.3 We are not obliged to exploit the Content, to secure you any Campaign, or to generate you any income. No figure shown in an estimator is a promise.
11.4 Your share is intended to satisfy the statutory claims, not to sit alongside them. The share paid to you under clause 11.1 is agreed to include, and to be paid in satisfaction of, any royalty or share of royalties or consideration you are entitled to under sections 18 and 19 of the Copyright Act 1957 in respect of the use of your work in any form — including any equal share claimable where your work is used in or as a visual recording, and including uses outside a cinema hall, which is every use we make. It is attributed per work, and we will show you the attribution for any item on request.
11.5 Where the law that applies to you gives you a right to equitable, appropriate or proportionate remuneration that cannot be contracted away, clause 11.2 does not displace it, clause 11.4 is how we intend to meet it, and the rider for your country in Annex A says what happens if it does not.
Leaving, deleting, and what survives
In plain terms. You can leave whenever you like. The licence does not leave with you — this is the clause to be sure about.
12.1 You may stop listing, take your boards down, remove your body model and close your account at any time, with no notice, no penalty and no fee. Standing bids on anything you withdraw are returned to the brands in full.
12.2 Closing your account stops the future: no new Campaigns, no new placements, your profile comes down, and we stop using your material in our own marketing going forward if you ask us to.
12.3 Closing your account does not revoke the licence in clause 3 or the consent in clause 6. Both are expressly stated to be perpetual and irrevocable and both survive termination of this agreement, the closing of your account, and the deletion of your data. This is the single most consequential sentence in this document and it is why the checkbox at sign-up says so in terms.
12.4 In practical terms that means we may continue to host and use Content already uploaded, continue to show Campaigns already run, keep material in backups and archives, keep case studies and portfolio pieces published, and honour sub-licences already granted to brands for the remainder of their term.
12.5 Some things cannot be undone by anybody, and we will not pretend otherwise: a Campaign that has been carried in public has been seen, photographed by other people, posted by attendees and archived by services neither of us controls. Copies that have already been shared or distributed are beyond recall, and no clause we could write would change that.
12.6 Concretely, these are the reasons a piece of your Content may still be in use after you have gone, and they are the whole list:
- (a) It was shared with others through the platform and they copied, embedded or saved part of it.
- (b) It was sub-licensed to a brand for a Campaign and that brand's twelve-month term has not run out yet.
- (c) We used it in our own marketing, portfolio or case studies before you left.
- (d) It sits in backups and archives, for the reasonable time it takes to age out of them.
- (e) We are required by law — tax, accounting, or a live legal claim — to keep it.
What the licence does not do to your data rights
In plain terms. A copyright licence cannot sign away a data-protection right, and this one does not.
13.1 Your rights under data-protection law are a separate matter and are not limited by clause 12. Clause 9 of the Privacy Notice explains precisely where the line between the two falls, and where the law where you live gives you an erasure or objection right that reaches further than this clause allows, that law wins.
If something you uploaded causes a problem
In plain terms. Your promises in clause 2 come with responsibility attached.
14.1 You will indemnify StuntKit against any claim, loss, damage or reasonable cost (including legal fees) arising from a breach of the promises you made in clause 2 — principally, a claim that you did not have the rights you said you had, or that somebody else in the Content did not agree to be there.
14.2 This indemnity does not apply where the claim arises from our own breach of these Creator Terms, from a use outside the limits in clause 9, or from something we altered the Content into.
14.3 We will tell you promptly about any claim we intend to pass on to you, let you take conduct of it if you want to, and not settle it without your consent, which you will not unreasonably withhold.
14.4 Your total liability to us under this clause is capped at the greater of the amounts you have been paid through the platform and US$5,000, except where the claim arises from your fraud or from your deliberate misrepresentation of the rights you held.
Changes to these Creator Terms
In plain terms. A new version needs a fresh yes from you. It does not reach back over what you already granted.
15.1 Every version of this document carries a version number and an effective date. Superseded versions are kept, and you can always obtain the one you accepted.
15.2 We will not treat your continued use of the platform as acceptance of a material change to this document. Where we change it materially, we will give you at least thirty days' notice by email and ask you to accept the new version by a fresh, separate act — the same unticked box you saw at sign-up. Until you do, the version you accepted is the version that governs you.
15.3 A new version operates only from the date you accept it. Content uploaded under an earlier version stays licensed on that earlier version's terms, and a later version cannot enlarge what you granted under an earlier one retrospectively.
15.4 If you decline a new version you may keep using the platform under the old one until we close the account, or leave. Declining is not a breach, and we will not withhold money you have earned because of it.
Governing law, and how a dispute is settled
In plain terms. Indian law, arbitration in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India — and your own country's protections still apply.
16.1 These Creator Terms are governed by the Laws of India, and any dispute is resolved as set out in clause 12 of the Platform Terms: raise it with us at boom@stuntkit.com first, then arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996, before a single arbitrator, seated in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, in English.
16.2 Choosing Indian law does not switch off the mandatory rules of the country you actually live in. Where your local law gives you a protection that a choice of foreign law cannot lawfully take away — consumer-protection rules, unwaivable remuneration rights, moral rights, data-protection rights, the right to sue in your local courts — you keep it, and we will not argue that this clause removed it.
16.3 Annex A sets out how that works in the jurisdictions where the difference is significant enough to spell out. Those riders are part of this agreement and override the general clauses wherever they conflict.
16.4 If the licence in clause 3 cannot take effect in full in a particular country, it takes effect there as the broadest grant that country's law does allow; and if it allows none of that, it takes effect as a non-exclusive licence to host and display the Content on the platform. A licence that fails to nothing helps neither of us, so it steps down rather than falling over.
16.5 If any part of this document is held unenforceable, then where the law applying to you permits a term to be read down, it is read down to the narrowest form that is enforceable; and where that law does not permit a term to be modified — as the consumer-protection law of several European countries does not — the term simply does not bind you and the rest continues without it. In particular, if the perpetuity, irrevocability or scope of the licence in clause 3 is limited by the law of a particular country, the licence takes effect in that country to the fullest extent that country's law allows, and is unaffected everywhere else.
Annex A
Country-specific riders
Where you live changes what some of these clauses can lawfully do. If you are resident in one of the places below, the rider for that place overrides the general terms to the extent they conflict. Nothing in a rider reduces a right the law gives you.
India
The licence in clause 3 is granted under section 30 of the Copyright Act 1957. Section 30A applies section 19 to licences “with any necessary adaptations and modifications”, so this document states expressly what section 19 would otherwise supply by default: the territorial extent is worldwide, defeating the India-only default in section 19(6); the duration is perpetual and for the full term of copyright, defeating the five-year default in section 19(5); and clause 3.5 identifies the royalty and the other consideration payable, as section 19(3) requires.
Because section 30 provides that a licence of a future work takes effect only when the work comes into existence, each upload is a separate licensing event with its own date. The licence over each item is exercised from that item's upload, as clause 3.6 states, so section 19(4) does not operate to lapse it — and our records are kept per item rather than per account so that this is provable for any single asset.
Section 19(1) requires a licence to be in writing and signed. Your acceptance is recorded electronically under section 10A of the Information Technology Act 2000, which gives electronic contracts statutory validity, together with the document version, the exact wording you were shown, the time, and the address you accepted from. If a court were to hold that an electronic acceptance of this kind is not a signature for the purposes of section 19(1), we will ask you to sign in whatever form is required rather than assert a licence you did not validly grant.
Your special rights under section 57 of the Copyright Act — to claim authorship and to restrain or claim damages for distortion, mutilation or modification prejudicial to your honour or reputation — are not waived, and cannot be. Clause 10 takes only an agreement not to assert them against ordinary technical handling, and clause 10.3 preserves the rest.
Consent under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 is collected separately from this agreement wherever that Act requires it. Section 6(1) of that Act requires consent to be free, specific, informed, unconditional and unambiguous, given by a clear affirmative action, and limited to the personal data necessary for the specified purpose; bundled consent does not satisfy it. That is why the body-scan permission is asked for at the point you request a build, and the model-training permission is asked for separately again under clause 5, rather than both being swept into your acceptance of these Creator Terms.
Nothing in these Creator Terms limits your rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, including your right to withdraw consent to the processing of your personal data, your right to correction and erasure, and your right to nominate somebody to exercise your rights if you die or become incapable. Those rights operate independently of the copyright licence, as clause 8 of the Privacy Notice explains.
Section 19(8) makes a grant void where it runs against rights the author has already vested in a copyright society of which they are a member. This is not something a contract can fix, so it is handled before the grant instead: clause 2.4 asks you, and a declared membership is routed to us rather than straight into the catalogue.
Sections 19(9) and 19(10) give the author of an underlying work an unwaivable equal share of royalties where the work is used other than by communication to the public along with a film in a cinema hall. Every use we make is outside a cinema hall, so we do not have the exhibitor exemption and we are not going to argue that we do. Clause 11.4 is written on the basis that your share includes and satisfies that statutory entitlement, attributed per work.
Post-mortem personality rights are not recognised in India: the right is personal and does not descend. Your moral rights under section 57 do descend, and may be exercised by your legal representatives, so the two do not behave the same way after death. Clause 6.4 gives your estate a right to stop new commercial uses in any event, because we would rather not rely on that asymmetry.
Complaints go to our Grievance Officer at boom@stuntkit.com in the first instance, and thereafter to the Data Protection Board of India.
European Economic Area
If you are habitually resident in the EEA and are acting outside your trade or profession, the consumer-protection rules of your country of residence apply to you despite the choice of Indian law, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your own country. Nothing in clause 16 or in clause 12 of the Platform Terms prevents that.
Where Directive (EU) 2019/790 applies to you, Article 23(1) makes the transparency obligation in Article 19, the contract-adjustment mechanism in Article 20 and the alternative dispute procedure in Article 21 unenforceable to contract out of. Clause 11.2 does not purport to. Ask and we will give you the information Article 19 requires about how your work has been exploited and what it earned; if the adjustment mechanism in Article 20 applies because the share turned out to be disproportionately low against the revenue, we will engage with it rather than hide behind the royalty-free wording. Article 18 on appropriate and proportionate remuneration and Article 22 on revocation apply as your own country has implemented them, and clause 11.4 is how we intend to meet Article 18.
The choice of Indian law settles whether we hold a licence. It does not settle whether something we do in your country infringes: under Article 8(3) of Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 the law applying to an infringement of intellectual property cannot be displaced by agreement, and we do not claim otherwise.
Where you have excluded your Content from model training, we express that reservation in machine-readable form as well as contractually, because Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 requires a reservation of rights to be machine-readable for it to bind text-and-data mining. A clause in a contract binds us; only the machine-readable reservation reaches a crawler that never agreed to anything.
Any term of these Creator Terms that would be an unfair term under Directive 93/13/EEC, or under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 in the UK, does not bind you.
Your rights under the GDPR or the UK GDPR — access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent — are unaffected by the copyright licence and are not limited by clause 12.
United Kingdom
The United Kingdom did not implement Articles 18 to 23 of Directive (EU) 2019/790, so the transparency, contract-adjustment and revocation rights described in the EEA rider are not available to you. Where we can give you the same information voluntarily, ask and we will.
Section 87 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 permits moral rights to be waived by signed written instrument, and section 78 requires the right to be identified as author to be asserted before it takes effect. We rely on the specific consents in clause 10 rather than taking a general waiver, because a consent to named acts is clearer for both of us than a waiver of rights you may not have thought about.
If you are a consumer, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 applies to these terms despite the choice of Indian law, any term that is unfair under it does not bind you, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of the United Kingdom.
Your rights under the UK GDPR are unaffected by the copyright licence and are not limited by clause 12.
Germany
Rights in types of use that were unknown at the time of your acceptance are granted subject to section 31a of the German Copyright Act (UrhG): you may revoke that part of the grant, and we will notify you before beginning any such new type of use, as that section requires. Nothing in clause 3.7 displaces that right.
Your claims to equitable remuneration under section 32 UrhG, and to a further share under section 32a UrhG where the agreed remuneration turns out to be conspicuously disproportionate to the proceeds derived from your work, cannot be waived in advance and are not waived here. Clause 11.2 is read subject to them.
Section 32b UrhG applies sections 32 and 32a whenever significant acts of use occur in Germany, whatever law the contract chooses. We are not relying on the choice of Indian law to escape them, and clause 11.4 is written on the basis that your share is the remuneration those sections are concerned with.
Section 32d UrhG obliges us to give you information about the extent of use and the proceeds derived, at least once a year. That is an obligation on us to do something rather than a term you could waive, and you do not have to ask for it.
Section 40 UrhG means a contract covering future works you have not yet specified requires written form and can be terminated by either of us five years after it was made, on six months' notice. That right cannot be waived in advance and is not waived here.
The licence is expressly non-exclusive, so section 40a — which turns an exclusive lump-sum grant non-exclusive after ten years — does not arise.
Sections 305 to 310 BGB apply to these standard terms whether or not you are acting as a consumer, together with the principle in section 31(5) UrhG that a grant extends no further than the purpose it was given for.
Your moral rights under sections 12 to 14 UrhG remain fully intact. Clause 10 takes only a limited agreement not to assert them against ordinary technical handling, to the extent German law permits such an agreement, and no further.
France
Your moral rights (droit moral) under Article L.121-1 of the Intellectual Property Code are perpetual, inalienable and imprescriptible. They are not waived, assigned or limited by this agreement, and clause 10 is read as going no further than French law allows.
The general assignment of future works is prohibited by Article L.131-1. The licence in clause 3 applies to Content you actually upload, and not to works you have not yet created.
Where Article L.131-4 requires proportional participation in the revenue from exploitation, your share under clause 11.1 is that participation, and nothing in clause 11.2 is intended to displace a right to proportional remuneration that French law does not permit us to displace.
United States
Your consent in clause 6 is given in writing and for valuable consideration, which is what section 3344 of the California Civil Code and sections 50 and 51 of the New York Civil Rights Law require for commercial use of name, voice, signature, photograph or likeness. If you are resident in a state whose right-of-publicity statute requires a separate or differently-worded written consent for a particular use, we will obtain it in that form before making that use.
Where state law — including the Tennessee ELVIS Act and comparable statutes governing digital voice and likeness replicas — requires specific consent for the creation or commercial use of a digital replica, clause 7.3 governs and we will seek that specific consent each time.
If you are in California, section 927 of the Labor Code makes a digital-replica provision unenforceable where it lacks a reasonably specific description of the intended uses and the individual was neither legally represented nor covered by a collective agreement dealing with digital replicas. Clause 7 is written to meet that standard: per-use-class consent, a specific description of each intended use, and a recorded opportunity to take independent advice first. Where it is not met, we will not enforce the provision.
Californian law now treats a digital replica as within “voice” and “likeness” for the purposes of section 3344 of the Civil Code, and allows injunctive relief. If you believe a use of your likeness is unauthorised, tell us and we will stop it while we look, rather than making you go to court to get our attention.
We operate a notice-and-counter-notice route for likeness complaints, modelled on the takedown process in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, for you and for anybody who believes their likeness appears in Content without permission.
If you are in Illinois, the Biometric Information Privacy Act applies to the scan data behind your body model. We obtain a written release before any capture, tell you the specific purpose and the period for which it will be held, and publish the retention and destruction schedule. We do not sell, lease or otherwise profit from biometric identifiers, and we do not treat this agreement as the release that Act requires — that is asked for separately, at the scan.
Nothing in this agreement purports to waive any right of termination you may have under 17 U.S.C. § 203, which applies notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary and reaches non-exclusive licences granted by an author. If you exercise it, derivative works we prepared before termination — Campaign renders and composites already made — may continue to be used under the terms of this agreement, as section 203(b)(1) provides, but we may not prepare new ones from your Content after that point.
Brazil and South Korea
In Brazil, Article 49 of Law No. 9.610/1998 requires copyright transfers to be interpreted restrictively, reduces a term that is unstated or longer than five years to five years, and limits a grant to modalities of use that existed when it was made. The licence therefore runs in Brazil for five years at a time, renewing when you accept a renewal, and reaches only the media described in clause 3.2 — new modalities need a fresh agreement, exactly as clause 3.2 already provides for everywhere.
Your moral rights under Articles 24 to 27 of Law No. 9.610/1998 are inalienable and unwaivable and are not affected by clause 10. Your image rights under Article 20 of the Civil Code are exercised through the consent in clause 6, and your rights under the LGPD (Law No. 13.709/2018), including revocation of consent to data processing, are unaffected by the copyright licence.
In South Korea, the author's moral rights under Articles 11 to 13 of the Copyright Act are personal to the author and cannot be transferred. Clause 10 is read accordingly, and your rights under the Personal Information Protection Act — including in respect of biometric information, which may include a facial or body scan — operate independently of this licence.
Creator Terms & Content Licence, version 1.0, in force from 26 September 2026. Superseded versions are kept and are available on request: whichever version you accepted is the one that governs what you have already granted.
