Platform Terms

1.1 These Platform Terms are an agreement between you and StuntKit (“StuntKit”, “we”, “us”), the operator of stuntkit.com and the marketplace described on it. They take effect when you open an account, and they continue for as long as you hold one.

1.2 StuntKit is a marketplace. We introduce brands who want advertising placements to people (“creators”) who are willing to carry those placements on surfaces they own — clothing, equipment, vehicles, streaming backdrops, event floor space and similar. We operate the auction, hold the money in escrow, review the proof and settle the payout.

1.3 We are not your employer, your agent, your manager or your talent representative, and we are not a party to the advertising relationship except in the specific roles these Terms give us. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture or employment relationship between StuntKit and any creator or brand.

1.4 If you are a creator, the Creator Terms & Content Licence also applies to you, and it governs everything to do with the material you upload and the use of your name and likeness. Where these Platform Terms and the Creator Terms conflict on that subject, the Creator Terms prevail.

2.1 You must be at least 18 years old to hold an account. We do not knowingly contract with minors, and we will close any account we find to be held by one. Where a creator is between 16 and 18 and a parent or legal guardian wishes to contract on their behalf, that arrangement must be agreed with us in writing before any campaign is run; it is never established by simply accepting these Terms.

2.2 Everything you tell us when you open an account — your name, your company, the surfaces you are offering, the events you say you are attending — must be accurate, and you must keep it accurate. Misrepresenting who you are or what access you have is grounds for immediate closure and for reversal of any payout obtained by it.

2.3 You are responsible for your credentials and for everything done through your account. Tell us as soon as you suspect somebody else has access to it.

2.4 If you accept these Terms on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorised to bind it, and “you” means that company.

3.1 A creator lists a drop — a set of spots on a surface, with dimensions, a floor price and, where the drop is tied to an event, a verified invitation to that event. Brands bid. When the clock stops, the highest standing bid wins the spot at that amount. There is no buy-now, no private treaty and no way to jump the queue.

3.2 Bids are commitments, not expressions of interest. Placing a bid authorises us to take and hold the amount in escrow, and a winning bid cannot be withdrawn. The minimum increment above a standing bid is US$50.

3.3 Bidding closes 9 days before the creator carries the placement, because artwork has to be printed, cut and fitted in that window. A spot won is a spot made.

3.4 A creator may refuse any brand and may take a board down at any moment before the placement is carried. Where that happens, every standing bid on the affected spots is returned in full, with no fee and no penalty to either side. The right to say no is not something a brand can buy out.

3.5 We may verify anything a listing asserts — an event invitation, a follower count, a vehicle, a venue — and we may refuse or remove a listing we cannot verify.

4.1 A winning bid is held in escrow. It is not the creator's money yet and it is no longer freely the brand's: it is released only as set out in this clause.

4.2 After the placement is carried, the creator files proof — photographs or footage showing the artwork as worn, driven or displayed. We review it against what was sold.

4.3 The brand then has 7 days from the filing of proof to raise an issue. If no issue is raised, or an issue is raised and decided in the creator's favour, the escrow is released: 75% to the creator and 25% to StuntKit as the platform fee.

4.4 If proof is not filed, or the placement plainly was not carried as sold, the escrow is returned to the brand. Where the position is partial or contested, we decide in good faith what proportion is owed, and we tell both sides why. That decision is ours to make as escrow holder; it does not stop either side pursuing the other under clause 12.

4.5 Payment processing, currency conversion and withholding taxes are handled by our payment providers and by the law where you live. Amounts quoted on the platform are in US dollars and exclusive of any tax you are separately liable for. You are responsible for your own tax affairs and for any registration your local law requires of you.

5.1 You warrant that you own or are licensed to use every element of the artwork you upload — logos, typefaces, photographs, characters, slogans — and that its display on the agreed surfaces infringes nobody's rights. You indemnify StuntKit and the creator against any claim that it does.

5.2 You are responsible for the lawfulness of the advertising itself: its claims, its category restrictions, and its disclosure. Advertising carried on a person is still advertising, and the disclosure rules that apply to endorsements and paid promotion in each market where the campaign runs apply here too — including, where relevant, the guidance of the Advertising Standards Council of India and the endorsement guides of the United States Federal Trade Commission. Where a disclosure is required, you must tell the creator what it is, and the creator must make it.

5.3 The default deal is presence, not endorsement. A creator carrying your logo is not stating that they use, like or recommend your product. If you want a spoken endorsement, a demonstration or a script, that is a separate line item that the creator prices and may refuse.

5.4 You must not use the platform to obtain a creator's contact details in order to take the relationship off-platform and avoid the fee. Doing so entitles us to charge the fee that would have been due on the circumvented placement.

6.1 You must not use StuntKit to do, promote or facilitate any of the following, and we will close accounts that do without waiting to be asked:

7.1 The platform, the studio, the body-building pipeline, the auction mechanics, our name, our marks and everything we publish are owned by StuntKit or our licensors. Holding an account gives you a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use them for their purpose, and nothing else.

7.2 The 3D body model we build for a creator is a work we create. The creator's rights in their own likeness are untouched by that, and the Creator Terms set out exactly what each side may do with the model.

7.3 Feedback you send us — an idea, a complaint, a feature request — we may act on freely and without owing you anything for it. We will not claim you endorsed the result.

8.1 You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account where these Terms are breached, where we are required to by law, where an account is being used to harm somebody, or where we stop operating the service.

8.2 Closing an account does not cancel a campaign already won and paid into escrow. Live obligations run to completion, or the escrow is unwound under clause 4.

8.3 Clauses 4 (to the extent of settled or disputed amounts), 5, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 survive the end of this agreement, as does the licence granted under the Creator Terms & Content Licence, which is expressly perpetual and survives closure of the account that granted it.

9.1 The platform is provided as it is. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, that a listing will attract a bid, that a campaign will produce any particular commercial result, or that any figure shown in an estimator will be earned. Earnings examples are illustrations, not forecasts.

9.2 We do not control what a brand does with a placement off-platform, and we do not control what a creator does at an event. We verify what we reasonably can and we say so where we have not verified something.

9.3 Nothing in this clause limits anything that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud, for fraudulent misrepresentation, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

10.1 Neither side is liable to the other for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of goodwill, or loss of anticipated savings, however caused.

10.2 Our total liability to you arising out of or in connection with this agreement is limited, in aggregate, to the greater of (a) the total fees we retained from transactions on your account in the twelve months before the claim arose, and (b) US$500.

10.3 This clause does not apply to your obligation to pay amounts you owe, to either side's indemnities, or to liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

11.1 You will indemnify StuntKit, and our officers and staff, against any claim, demand, loss, damage or reasonable cost (including legal fees) arising out of material you uploaded, a warranty you gave that turned out to be untrue, your breach of these Terms, or your infringement of somebody else's rights.

11.2 We will tell you promptly about any claim we intend to pass on to you, give you a fair opportunity to take conduct of it, and not settle it without your consent, which you will not unreasonably withhold.

12.1 This agreement, and anything arising out of it, is governed by the Laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

12.2 Before starting formal proceedings, tell us what the problem is at boom@stuntkit.com and give us thirty days to fix it. Most things are resolved at this step and it costs neither of us anything.

12.3 Any dispute that survives that step is finally resolved by arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996, before a single arbitrator, seated in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, conducted in English. The courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka, India have supervisory jurisdiction, and either side may seek urgent interim relief from those courts without waiting for the arbitrator.

12.4 Claims are brought individually. Neither side will bring a claim as a representative or class member, and an arbitrator may not consolidate claims without both sides agreeing.

12.5 If you are a consumer resident somewhere whose law gives you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts, or to the protection of mandatory rules that this clause cannot displace, nothing here takes that right away.

13.1 We may change these Terms. Every published version carries a version number and an effective date, and superseded versions are kept.

13.2 Where a change materially affects your rights or obligations, we will give you at least thirty days' notice by email and in the product before it takes effect, and we will ask you to accept the new version. Continuing to use the platform after a non-material change means you accept it.

13.3 If you do not accept a material change, you may close your account before it takes effect, and the old version governs everything that happened while it was in force. Rights already granted under the Creator Terms & Content Licence are not undone by closing an account — see clause 8.3.

14.1 If any part of this agreement is held to be unenforceable, that part is modified to the least extent needed to make it enforceable, or struck out if it cannot be, and the rest continues in force.

14.2 Our not enforcing something is not a waiver of it, and does not stop us enforcing it later.

14.3 You may not assign this agreement without our consent. We may assign it to a successor to our business, on notice to you.

14.4 These Terms, the Creator Terms & Content Licence where it applies to you, and the Privacy Notice are the entire agreement between us on their subject, and replace anything said beforehand.

14.5 Notices to us go to boom@stuntkit.com. Notices to you go to the email address on your account, and are treated as received the day after they are sent.
