Given the digital nature of content, services and items on Sticky, purchases from Sticky are final and non-refundable except if otherwise determined by law. Users have attempted to defraud Sticky by making purchases with the intent of benefiting from them and requesting refunds, through their own accounts and those of others. Therefore requests for refunds are monitored and for safety, repeated or suspicious refund activity may result in removal as outlined above.
Virtual items in Sticky, including but not limited to virtual 'coins' and 'collectibles' (including any recorded on external networks such as 'non-fungible-tokens') are offered for use only, not as securities or investments, not for conversion into cash, not as having real-world value. Their availability, balance, value and characteristics within Sticky may vary at Sticky's discretion, including with their removal without prior notice.
Sticky may offer a 'marketplace' within Sticky for exchange of virtual items among users. The availability of the marketplace is at Sticky's discretion.
Virtual items offered by Sticky, including but not limited to virtual 'coins' and 'collectibles' may only be purchased and exchanged via the purchase and exchange mechanisms offered within Sticky, except where Sticky has specifically registered items for exchange on outside networks such as decentralized blockchains.
For purchases made using the iOS in-app-purchase system, payment is charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase; contact Apple regarding any purchases made in error, as we have no control over these transactions.

While Sticky aims to promote a safe platform, publication of content involves certain risks.

Creator revenue sharing

Revenue sharing may be available to eligible creators for eligible creations. The availability and terms of revenue sharing may be altered at any time, including with cessation of sharing without prior notice.
These terms cover general aspects of revenue sharing. For details on the calculations, fees, minimums and options currently available, please refer to 'Earning Money on Sticky' on our website.
To be eligible for revenue sharing, creators must accept and have a record of full compliance with these terms of use, our privacy policy and guidelines and must meet specific conditions, published in the relevant areas of the Sticky platform, intended to ensure content quality and the integrity of the Sticky platform and safety of its community. Such conditions may vary over time and may include factors such as complete and accurate profile, account and payment information; pro/creator account membership and account verification status; time elapsed since events such as first content publication; total account content engagement and exchange statistics; absence of legal restrictions such as trade sanctions.
To be eligible for revenue sharing, creations must be compliant with these terms of use, our privacy policy and guidelines, and must meet specific conditions, published in the relevant areas of the Sticky platform, intended to ensure content quality and the integrity of the Sticky platform and safety of its community. Such conditions may vary over time and may include factors such as whether creations are marked as being intended for monetization; whether they are freely available to all Sticky users or require exchange for virtual items or being a paying subscriber; whether they includs third-party ads, Sticky ads, or no ads; content engagement and exchange statistics.
Revenue sharing may relate to exchanges on Sticky attributable to a specific creator (such as transactions on the 'marketplace'), and to allocation from a pool relating to exchanges and user engagement not attributable to a single creator (such as advertising views or subscription revenue), and may be displayed to creators in terms of 'earned coins' (a virtual item in Sticky).
Creators may choose to use their 'earned coins' within Sticky (for example in exchange for other content or items offered by Sticky or other creators) without incurring the Sticky platform fee that applies to cash revenue sharing.
Alternatively, creators may request a revenue share paid in cash. Formulas for calculation of cash amounts based on 'earned coins' are published on the relevant areas of the Sticky platform and may vary over time, but are based on the average price paid by users for coins, net of payment and platform (i.e. credit card, App Store) fees, taxes, refunds and frauds on coin sales, and a Sticky platform fee. Cash amounts received by creators may be net of the payment fees for transferring their cash payment to them.
As outlined above, virtual items such as 'coins' in Sticky are not convertible into cash, and are subject to change or removal at Sticky's discretion. Their use for revenue share computation is a convenience and may be altered at any time. Accordingly, and for avoidance of doubt, 'purchased coins' and 'bonus coins' do not factor into revenue share calculations, though they comprise users' total balance of virtual 'coins' for use in Sticky.
Calculation of revenue share pools and of cash revenue share payments are periodical (for example, once per calendar quarter) and the calculation frequency and time between the end of the relevant period and payment disbursement may vary over time.
Cash revenue share payments are subject to minimum amounts, carried out via specific means of payment and available in specific currencies, all of which may vary over time.
Creators are responsible for reporting and paying any taxes they owe on their revenue share.
By creating on Sticky, you agree that no joint venture, partnership or employment relationship exists between you and the Sticky team as a result of these terms or your submission of content.
The Sticky team may, at its sole discretion, choose to contract selected creators on an ad-hoc basis on terms distinct from those above, including on the basis of a one-time fixed payment or on a distinct revenue share. For avoidance of doubt, in those cases, the terms that apply are solely those of the ad-hoc agreements in question and the compensation specified in the agreements is in place of, not in addition to, the above revenue share.
