Terms of Service

DealForge ("DealForge", "we", "us") is a brand-deal brokerage. We connect creators with brands and negotiate the terms of sponsored campaigns. Our service is built on a single, transparent fee: a 20% brokerage commission added on top of the creator's agreed compensation.

By creating an account, submitting a brief, or joining the creator roster, you agree to these Terms.

For every campaign we broker, DealForge adds a 20% fee on top of the creator's agreed rate. If a creator's rate is $5,000, the brand is invoiced $6,000 — the creator keeps the full $5,000 and DealForge earns $1,000.

The brand pays the total. Creators are never asked to discount their rate to cover our fee, and our fee is never deducted from creator compensation.

Campaign payments are processed by Paddle, which acts as the merchant of record. Paddle is the contracting party for payment and handles invoicing, tax, and compliance. DealForge receives the funds and disburses the creator's portion per the agreed payment terms in the campaign agreement.

Payment terms — including deposits, net terms, and payout triggers — are set in each campaign agreement before work begins.

Every deal is governed by a written campaign agreement covering deliverables, timelines, usage rights, whitelisting, exclusivity windows, and revision limits. That agreement, not these Terms, controls the specifics of any single campaign.

If a campaign is cancelled before deliverables begin, no commission is owed. If cancelled mid-flight, the agreement's kill fee schedule applies and commission is prorated to the amount actually paid to the creator.

You may register as a creator or a brand. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for activity under your account. We may suspend or remove access for abuse, fraud, or misrepresentation of audience or identity.

Brands must have the rights to any assets, trademarks, and claims in their briefs and must fund agreed campaigns on the stated terms. Creators must own their content, disclose sponsored posts per applicable law, and deliver against the agreed brief.

Neither party may use DealForge to circumvent our brokerage after we have introduced you. Repeated off-platform circumvention may result in removal from the roster.

DealForge is a brokerage, not a party to creator-produced content or brand-provided materials. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the commission we earned on the campaign in question. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages.

We may update these Terms as our service evolves. Material changes will be posted here with a new "last updated" date. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
