You will not have an opportunity to edit a Post after a Brand has approved the Post. You agree you are solely responsible for the publication of Posts. JOOC’D merely provides a service allowing Brands to approve Posts before publication, but the publishing of Posts via the JOOC’D Platform remains your responsibility.
- Before receiving any Payments, you will be asked to provide financial details including your nominated Account Details, whether or not you are registered for GST (in Australia) or VAT (in the UK), your ABN or VAT number (if applicable), Employer Identification number (in the U.S.) and any further required details. After an approved Post is published by a Brand, you will be entitled to be paid the Post Fee (plus GST, or VAT, if applicable to you), subject to your compliance with these Terms of Use and Rules. If you do not comply, you will not be paid. It is your responsibility to notify JOOC’D in the event that you are registered for and liable to pay GST or VAT as applicable, and to keep JOOC’D up to date with your registered GST and/or VAT details as applicable.

You are responsible for the accuracy of your nominated Account details.

Terms for Participating in a Campaign
- Posts and Paid Content must adhere to the requirements contained in these Terms of Use and Rules and any additional requirements imposed by Brands as part of a Campaign and advised to Influencer at the time of submitting the Post for approval (Dos and Don’ts). Posts which do not comply with this condition may be removed from the JOOC’D Platform at JOOC’D’s absolute discretion.
- Influencers must clearly disclose in sponsored Posts their relationship with the Brand. JOOC’D requires that you make such disclosures in such a way so that it is clear to the ordinary consumer viewing your Channels that there is a commercial relationship between Influencer and the Brand.

JOOC’D reserves the right, but is in no way obliged, to review and monitor the disclosure practices of all Influencers in relation to particular Posts or your Channels generally and to require greater levels of disclosure (at JOOC’D’s sole discretion) in particular Posts or across your Channels generally or, if you do not agree to the required levels of disclosure, to remove you from the JOOC’D Platform.

Followers must be obtained organically and not through unethical or unsportsmanlike behaviour such as (but not limited to), purchasing followers, likes or engagement.

JOOC’D may, in its sole discretion, accept written confirmation (including via email) approving an invoice in lieu of a Purchase Order or Insertion Order being provided.

Any terms of credit offered by JOOC’D, including where JOOC’D approves payment by Invoice, may be varied by JOOC’D in its sole discretion and advised to you in writing.
- Media Agencies using the JOOC’D Platform acknowledge and agree JOOC’D is a cost of good and is non-commissionable. No agency rebates will be given.
- When you approve a Post you undertake that you are an authorised user of the card or account (as applicable) nominated on your Brand Account and to pay the applicable charges, that the card details provided are current, correct and complete and that your nominated card or account (as applicable) will cover the full amount of the charges. You must not pay, or attempt to pay, any charges through any fraudulent or unlawful means. Upon receiving your Campaign (including your Campaign Budget), we may carry out a standard pre-authorisation check of your nominated card or account (as applicable) to verify the details provided and to ensure there are sufficient funds to fulfil the Campaign Budget. The relevant Campaign may not be shared with Influencers via the Application until this pre-authorisation check has been completed.
- In relation to Influencer Marketing Campaigns upon an Influencer publishing an approved Post, you authorise us to debit the Brand Fee that is payable for the Post from your nominated card or account (as applicable) in order to pay the charges. You must pay all charges in full strictly within 7 days or as otherwise advised by us in writing from time to time. If no timeframe for payment is stated, the payment must be received by us no later than 7 days from the date of the corresponding tax invoice for those Posts.
- If you fail to pay any charges or we are unable to successfully process your payment of any charges within the timeframe required (as applicable), we reserve the right to charge a late payment fee calculated at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum but no less than $10.00 per month. This amount represents a genuine and reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses associated with managing and processing late payments. We also reserve the right to withdraw credit facilities (where applicable) at any time or to remove your access to the JOOC’D Platform. You may also be liable to pay interest on any amount outstanding at the ATO Benchmark interest rate (Australia) or Statutory rate (UK) on the date the payment becomes due and you may also be responsible for all reasonable expenses incurred by us as a result of such late payment (including but not limited to costs incurred by us to recover any unpaid amounts). Without limiting our rights, in the event you fail to pay any charges within the timeframe and in the manner required, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the JOOC’D Platform or to suspend or terminate any current Campaigns.
- Brands acknowledge and agree that they may not offer a product, service or other non-monetary arrangement to an Influencer as partial or full payment by a Brand for an Influencer’s Post or Paid Content.
- If JOOC’D is required to collect indirect taxes (such as sales tax, value-added tax, withholding tax, etc.) under the laws of your state or country of residence, you shall be liable for payment of any such indirect tax. You may be required to self-assess such taxes under the applicable laws of your country or residence.
Terms for Campaigns

Each Post shall have a Post Fee and Brands and Influencers may not circumvent the Post Fee by negotiating or attempting to negotiate multiple Posts for Post Fees.
- You must not attempt to instruct, coerce or manipulate an Influencer to hide the commercial relationship between the Advertiser and the Influencer. Such attempts may result in the Brand being immediately removed from the JOOC’D Platform.
- You acknowledge and agree that your right to use a Post is strictly limited in accordance with clause 43(c)(i) above. For the avoidance of doubt, you must not use a Post in any form of paid, sponsored or promoted advertising, including within the social media channel upon which the Post was published (for example, via Facebook Power Editor).

JOOC’D is not responsible for identifying any breach of these Terms of Use by an Influencer.

- Brand agrees that upon notice from JOOC’D or if Brand learns that any Content is subject to an actual or threatened claim of infringement, violation of another right, or other claim, or if JOOC’D removes any Content for any reason and gives the Brand notice of such removal, the Brand will remove such Content from its computer systems and storage devices and will, to the extent possible, cease use of such Content. JOOC’D shall, where possible, endeavour to source comparable Content (to be determined by JOOC’D in its reasonable commercial judgement) free of charge, but subject to these Terms of Use and a comparable Rights Licence.
- You acknowledge that JOOC’D has not made any warranties in respect of the success of any Campaign in respect of your business or commercial performance or otherwise of any Post, Campaign, Channel or other media, marketing communications channel, marketing or advertising campaign, promotion or advertisement.
