Stint LLC Creator Program Terms

Last Updated: July 15, 2026

These Creator Program Terms (the "Terms") govern your participation in the Creator Program (the "Program") operated by Stint LLC, a Virginia limited liability company ("Stint," "we," "us"). The Program is marketed as a "Creator Program," but for legal purposes it is an independent contractor arrangement. By applying to or participating in the Program, you agree to these Terms.

The Program covers all of our products, including the Stint app, the Candor app, and any product we release in the future (each a "Product," together the "Products"). Your individual arrangement will identify which Product or Products it covers.

By applying to or participating in the Program, you also agree to be bound by Stint's general Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference. These Terms are in addition to (not in place of) those agreements. If a conflict arises on a Program-specific matter, these Terms control; on all other matters, the general Terms of Service and Privacy Policy control.

1. No Agency or Partnership

You participate in the Program as an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms (and nothing about how the Program is named or marketed) creates an agency, partnership, joint venture, franchise, or employer–employee relationship between you and Stint. You have no authority to bind Stint, enter into agreements on its behalf, incur expenses for it, or make any representation or warranty on its behalf.

2. FTC Disclosure (Required)

When you promote a Product, you must clearly and conspicuously disclose that you have a material connection with us and are being compensated, in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides and any equivalent rules in your jurisdiction. Disclosures must be hard to miss (e.g., "#ad," "paid partnership," or "I earn a commission when you use my code") and placed where viewers will actually see them, not buried in a description or behind a "more" link. Failure to disclose is grounds for immediate removal from the Program and forfeiture of unpaid compensation.

This obligation applies to every form of compensation covered by these Terms, including a flat fee, a commission, free or discounted access to a Product, and early access to an unreleased build. If we gave you the thing you are talking about, say so.

You must also keep your content honest. Don't make false, misleading, or unsubstantiated claims about a Product, its features, results, pricing, or availability.

3. How You Get Paid

3.1 Your individual arrangement. Compensation is not uniform across creators. Before you do any paid work, we will send you a written offer (by email is enough) identifying the Product, the scope of the work, and how you will be paid (a "Partnership Confirmation"). Compensation may be a flat fee, a share of revenue, or both. The Partnership Confirmation controls for that engagement; this Section 3 fills any gap it leaves and governs revenue share whenever revenue share applies. We do not pay in exposure.

3.2 Revenue share. Where your Partnership Confirmation includes a revenue share, the following apply unless it says otherwise:

  • Rate. A base commission of 10% on net subscription revenue generated through your unique code or link. Top-performing creators may be eligible for an increased rate of up to 15% at our discretion.
  • What it's paid on. Commissions are calculated on net revenue actually received by Stint, that is, subscription revenue after platform fees (e.g., Apple's commission), taxes, refunds, and chargebacks.
  • Recurring. Commissions recur for as long as a referred member maintains an active, paid subscription attributed to your code, subject to these Terms.
  • Attribution. A sale is attributed to you when a customer subscribes using your unique code or link. We rely on App Store and analytics reporting to determine attribution; our records are the system of record. Self-referrals, incentivized or fraudulent redemptions, and other abuse are not eligible.
  • Payouts. Commissions are paid monthly, in arrears, once your balance exceeds the minimum payout threshold we set. You are responsible for providing accurate payout information.
  • When you're paid (Apple's remittance cycle). A commission only becomes payable after Stint has actually received the underlying funds from Apple. Apple remits on a rolling cycle, typically 30–45 days after a sale, so the payout on any given sale lands in the monthly cycle after Stint is remitted for it, not in the month the sale occurred. This timing is set by the App Store, not by us.
  • Clawbacks. If a sale is refunded, charged back, or later found to be fraudulent or non-compliant, the related commission may be reversed or deducted from future payouts.

3.3 Flat fees. Where your Partnership Confirmation includes a flat fee, it will state the amount, what triggers payment, and when we pay. Flat fees are not contingent on how a piece of content performs unless the Partnership Confirmation expressly says so.

3.4 No guarantee. Nothing here guarantees you any offer, any minimum earnings, any particular volume of referrals, or any renewal. Acceptance into the Program is not itself a Partnership Confirmation.

4. Creator Codes and Customer Offers

Approved creators may receive one or more unique code(s) or link(s) to share with their audience. Your code's core function is attribution: it ties subscriptions driven by your audience to you so your compensation can be calculated, and it works whether or not a separate customer incentive is attached to it.

From time to time we may also attach a customer-facing incentive to creator codes (for example, an introductory free trial for new subscribers who have not already used an introductory offer). Any such incentive, where and when offered, is made available, scoped, and adjusted at Stint's sole discretion, and may be added, changed, or withdrawn at any time. Codes, batches, and any per-creator redemption limits are likewise issued and adjusted at our discretion.

Regardless of whether an incentive is attached, commission accrues only on net paid revenue after a subscription becomes paid: for any subscription that begins with a trial, only after that trial converts to a paid subscription. Trials or sign-ups that are cancelled before the first billing generate no revenue and therefore no commission. This is consistent with the attribution and clawback rules in Section 3.

5. Taxes (Independent Contractor Status)

You are solely responsible for all taxes on amounts you earn through the Program. You are not an employee, and Stint will not withhold taxes on your behalf. If your earnings meet or exceed the applicable IRS reporting threshold (or the equivalent in your country), we will issue a Form 1099 (or local equivalent), and you agree to provide the tax documentation we reasonably request (e.g., a W-9 or W-8).

Compensation in a form other than cash, including complimentary subscriptions under Section 6, may be taxable income to you. We do not give tax advice; consult your own advisor.

6. Complimentary Access

Accepted creators receive complimentary access to the paid tier of the Product(s) their Partnership Confirmation covers, for as long as they remain an active creator in good standing in the Program. This benefit:

  • is personal to you, non-transferable, and has no cash value;
  • is revoked automatically if you leave the Program, are removed, or stop meeting the participation requirements; and
  • does not constitute a "lifetime" entitlement. If the Program ends, your participation ends, or Stint discontinues a Product or its paid tier, the complimentary access to that Product ends as well. If we discontinue a Product entirely, we will make a good-faith effort to notify active creators in advance, but we have no obligation to provide a replacement, substitute, or refund.

7. What We Ask of You

To remain active in the Program, you agree to:

  • deliver whatever your Partnership Confirmation says you will deliver, on the schedule it sets, there is no blanket posting quota under these Terms, and any volume commitment binds you only if your Partnership Confirmation states it;
  • comply with Section 2 (FTC Disclosure) on every piece of promotional content;
  • comply with Section 8 (Pre-Release Products) for anything not yet publicly launched; and
  • share honest feedback to help us improve the Product.

We do not write your script and we do not approve your take. We will tell you what is true about a Product and then leave you alone. In exchange, we ask for the obvious thing back: if a Product does nothing for you, do not post about it. Declining to post costs you nothing under these Terms beyond any fee expressly conditioned on delivery in your Partnership Confirmation, and it is not grounds for removal from the Program.

8. Pre-Release Products, Early Access, and Embargo

Part of the point of this Program is putting unreleased builds in your hands. That requires some discipline in return.

8.1 Confidential by default. Any Product, build, feature, or asset that we have not publicly launched is Confidential Information under Section 10, in full, until we tell you in writing that it is public or an embargo has lifted. This includes screenshots, screen recordings, and descriptions of it.

8.2 Embargo. We may give you an embargo date and, for a specific engagement, ask you to let us see a piece of content before it is published for the sole purpose of confirming it does not disclose something still under embargo, or state something about the Product that is factually wrong. That review is not editorial approval: we do not get to change your opinion, your framing, or your conclusion, and we will not ask you to.

8.3 Pre-release builds are rough. Early builds are provided "as is," may be unstable or incomplete, may lose your data, and may change or be cancelled entirely before launch. Do not represent an unreleased Product's features, pricing, or availability as final, and do not rely on an unreleased Product for anything that matters to you.

8.4 Leaks. Disclosing an unreleased Product outside these Terms is a material breach and grounds for immediate removal from the Program and forfeiture of unpaid compensation, in addition to any other remedy available to us.

9. Your Own Content, Your Own Life

Some of our Products (Candor in particular) work by keeping a private, personal record of your real life, including photographs you take. If you make content about a Product like that, please read this Section carefully.

9.1 You choose what to show. Nothing in the Program requires you to publish, show on camera, or otherwise disclose any of your own personal content, photographs, records, or results. What you reveal about your own life is entirely your choice, and choosing to reveal nothing is not a breach of these Terms. Your Partnership Confirmation cannot override this Section.

9.2 You are responsible for what you publish. If you do show your own content, you are publishing it yourself, on your own channels, at your own discretion. We are not the publisher of your content, we do not control it, and you are responsible for it, including for obtaining any consent required from any other person who appears in, is identifiable in, or is discussed in what you show. If you would not be comfortable with something being permanent and public, do not put it in a video.

9.3 Content you show us or share back. If you send us content, screenshots, or footage, or grant us a license under Section 11 to reshare something you published, you confirm you have the rights and consents needed for us to use it as described.

10. Brand, Content, and Intellectual Property

We may grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Stint LLC name, our Product names, and our logos solely to promote the Products under these Terms. You may not modify our marks, imply endorsement of unrelated products, register confusingly similar marks or domains, bid on our trademarks in paid search, or use our marks in any way that is misleading or damaging to our reputation. All goodwill from your use of our marks inures to Stint. You retain ownership of your own content but grant us a non-exclusive license to reshare and feature it across our channels with credit.

11. Confidentiality

In the course of the Program you may be exposed to information about Stint that is not public (for example, unreleased products and builds, product roadmap, pricing experiments, performance or conversion metrics, code, internal tooling, and information about other creators or users) ("Confidential Information"). You agree to use Confidential Information only to promote the Products under these Terms, to keep it confidential, and not to disclose it to any third party or use it to build, advise, or operate a competing product. Two things are fair game and are not Confidential Information: your own genuine experience using a publicly launched Product as a member, and the public-facing Product itself. This obligation continues after you leave the Program.

12. Prohibited Conduct

You may not: spam; use bots, fake accounts, or incentivized/click-fraud traffic; make deceptive or unsubstantiated claims; misrepresent pricing or availability; engage in self-referral to claim commissions; use Stint-branded paid ads without our written permission; disclose a pre-release Product in breach of Section 8; or do anything unlawful or harmful to our brand, users, or other creators.

13. Non-Solicitation

During your participation and for twelve (12) months afterward, you agree not to use the relationships, audience access, or non-public information you gain through the Program to solicit or divert Stint's users, subscribers, or other Stint creators to a competing product or service. To be candid: outside of the confidentiality and non-solicitation obligations above, these Terms do not stop you from building your own products; they stop you from doing so using Stint's confidential information, codes, or the audience relationships the Program gave you access to.

14. Modification and Termination

We may modify these Terms, the compensation framework, perks, or any aspect of the Program at our sole discretion, with notice for material changes. A change to these Terms does not retroactively change a Partnership Confirmation you have already accepted. We may also suspend or terminate your participation at any time, with or without cause, including for spammy tactics, non-disclosure, brand-damaging behavior, leaks, or violation of these Terms. Either party may leave the Program at any time. Upon termination, your right to use our marks ends, any complimentary access ends, you must stop using and delete any pre-release build in your possession, and we will pay any earned, undisputed compensation above the payout threshold; compensation tied to fraud, abuse, or non-compliance is forfeited. Sections 5, 8.1, 8.4, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, and 17 survive.

15. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Program is provided "as is." We make no guarantee of any minimum earnings, traffic, or results. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Stint will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, and our total liability arising from the Program will not exceed the total compensation paid to you in the six (6) months before the event giving rise to the claim.

16. Your Information and Privacy

To run the Program and pay you, we collect and process information about you, including your contact and identity details, social or content-platform handles, the tax information required to make payments and meet filing obligations (such as a Form W-9 or W-8), your payout details, your creator code(s), and the performance and attribution data tied to your code (referrals, conversions, and commissions). We use this information to operate the Program, calculate and remit compensation, satisfy tax and recordkeeping obligations, communicate with you, and prevent fraud and abuse. Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your payout and tax details current. You are responsible for handling any information you receive about referred customers (such as aggregate attribution or commission data) in compliance with applicable law, and you may use it only to participate in the Program.

17. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Stint and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and contractors (the "Stint Parties") from and against any claims, demands, investigations, losses, damages, fines, penalties, judgments, settlements, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your promotional content and any other content you create, post, or distribute in connection with the Program; (b) your violation of the FTC's Endorsement Guides or any other advertising, marketing, endorsement, consumer-protection, sweepstakes, or unfair-competition law or regulation, including any failure to make the disclosures required by Section 2; (c) any false, misleading, deceptive, or unsubstantiated claim you make about Stint, a Product, or its features, results, pricing, or availability; (d) your infringement or misappropriation of any third party's intellectual-property, publicity, or privacy rights, including in any music, footage, image, or other material used in your content, and including the rights of any person who appears in or is identifiable in content you publish under Section 9; (e) your use of the Stint marks outside the limited license in Section 10; (f) your breach of these Terms, including the pre-release, confidentiality, and non-solicitation obligations in Sections 8, 11, and 13; and (g) your negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of any applicable law. We may, at your expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you will cooperate; you will not settle any such matter without our prior written consent. This obligation is in addition to, and does not limit, any other remedy available to Stint, and it survives your departure from or the termination of the Program.

18. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to the Program are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Stint's general Terms of Service (including their arbitration agreement, class-action waiver, and the related opt-out and informal-resolution provisions) are incorporated into these Terms by reference and apply to disputes arising out of or relating to the Program. For any dispute not subject to that arbitration agreement, you and Stint submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Fairfax County, Virginia, and waive any objection to venue there.
