Earnings Terms
How creators earn and get paid on Shoot — eligibility, payout methods, fees, holds, and the rules around earnings.
1. Overview
These Earnings Terms explain how creators earn and get paid on Shoot. They sit alongside our Terms of Service; where they conflict on a payout matter, these Earnings Terms govern.
Creators earn by joining a brand's campaign, posting clips on the allowed platforms, and being paid based on the campaign's payout model (for example, pay-per-view with a per-video or campaign budget cap).
2. Eligibility
To receive payouts you must be at least 18 years old, have a Shoot account in good standing, complete identity verification (a government ID check with liveness and face match), and provide a valid payout method.
Your verified ID name must match the legal name on your account, and your country must not be on our restricted/sanctioned list. We may pause or decline payouts where verification, sanctions, fraud, or compliance checks require it.
You are responsible for all taxes on your earnings and for any tax information needed to be paid (this structured data also supports platform reporting such as HMRC where applicable).
3. How earnings are calculated
Approved clips earn based on the campaign's rate and your tracked views. We sync view counts from the platforms on a schedule; estimated earnings update as views grow.
Each campaign has a view-counting window. When it closes (or a clip hits its per-video or campaign budget cap), your paid views lock in — that locked number is what your payout is based on. Views after the window still show as total reach but don't change your payout.
Earnings may be adjusted or reversed for fraud, manipulated or fake views, duplicate or stolen content, chargebacks, refunds, or campaign reconciliation.
4. Payout methods, minimums, and holds
You can withdraw cleared earnings once they reach the $10 minimum. Payout rails are bank transfer (USD, GBP, or EUR via Wise) and USDT crypto on the Ethereum network (sent manually by the Shoot team).
Cleared earnings become withdrawable after a short release hold once a campaign ends. Withdrawals require email-code verification; crypto withdrawals also require a recorded sanctions/wallet attestation.
Bank payouts typically arrive within 1–3 business days after approval. Crypto payouts are sent by hand, usually within one business day.
5. Fees
Every withdrawal itemises its fees before you confirm: Shoot's 4% platform fee plus a transaction fee — the payment provider's transfer fee (bank) or the current network/gas cost (crypto). The amount you'll receive is always shown clearly before you confirm.
A wrong crypto address or network means the funds are permanently lost and cannot be recovered, and Shoot is not liable for funds lost this way.
6. No earnings guarantee
We do not guarantee that you will earn any particular amount, that any campaign will be available to you, or that our view-tracking will capture every view. Campaign rates, budgets, and availability are set by brands and can change or end at any time.
7. Prohibited earnings activity
Do not inflate or manipulate views, use bots or fake engagement, submit content you don't have the right to post, run lottery- or chance-based schemes, or otherwise try to earn through fraud or deception.
Accounts engaged in prohibited activity may have earnings withheld, reversed, or forfeited, and may be suspended.
8. Suspension, freezing, and reversals
We may hold, freeze, reverse, or withhold earnings and payouts where needed to investigate fraud or abuse, comply with law or sanctions, resolve a dispute or chargeback, or cover amounts you owe.
Where earnings are reversed for refunds or chargebacks on a brand's funding, affected payouts may be adjusted accordingly.
9. Changes and contact
We may update these Earnings Terms as the payout system evolves; material changes will be notified through the product or another appropriate channel.
Questions about earnings or payouts can be sent to support@tryshoot.com. These terms are a product-ready draft and should be reviewed by qualified counsel before a full paid public launch.
