Stint LLC Creator Program Terms

Last Updated: July 18, 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.

Order of precedence. If there is a conflict, the following order controls, highest first: (1) the provisions of these Terms that state they cannot be overridden (Sections 2, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 18); (2) your Partnership Confirmation, but only as to commercial terms (scope, fee, rate, deliverables) for that engagement; (3) the rest of these Terms; (4) the general Terms of Service; and (5) the Privacy Policy. The general Terms of Service govern you in your capacity as an app user; these Terms govern the Program relationship, and their provisions on compensation, liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution control any dispute arising out of the Program.

Eligibility. You represent and warrant that you are an individual at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live, if higher) with full legal capacity to enter into these Terms; that you are a U.S. person resident in a U.S. jurisdiction where we operate the Program; and that you are not on any U.S. sanctions or restricted-party list and are not located in an embargoed jurisdiction (OFAC). If any of this is or becomes untrue, we may immediately end your participation and withhold unpaid compensation pending verification, and we may require age, identity, residency, and sanctions verification at any time.

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 we may withhold or reverse compensation attributable to the non-compliant activity; earned, compliant commissions remain payable.

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.

2.1 Claim substantiation and prohibited claims. Every claim you make about a Product must reflect your genuine, current, and honest experience and be truthful and substantiated when you make it. Without our prior written approval, you will not: (a) make any earnings, income, or financial-outcome claim; (b) make any health, mental-health, therapeutic, medical, weight, or specific-results claim, or describe a Product as treating, diagnosing, or improving any condition; (c) present a testimonial that is not your own genuine experience, or create, buy, sell, solicit, or incentivize fake, deceptive, or undisclosed reviews or endorsements (including in violation of the FTC's rule on fake and deceptive reviews, 16 CFR Part 465); or (d) state or imply that Stint endorses or has substantiated a claim when it has not. You will promptly correct, edit, or remove any content on our written request, and you grant us the right to review your Program-related content on reasonable notice to confirm compliance with this Section. Failure to comply is a material breach.

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% of Net Subscription Revenue generated through your unique code or link. We may, but are not obligated to, increase your rate up to 15% in our sole discretion; no creator is entitled to an increase.
  • What it's paid on ("Net Subscription Revenue"). "Net Subscription Revenue" means the gross subscription fees Stint actually receives and retains for a subscription attributed to you, less: (i) app-store and platform commissions (e.g., Apple's, at whatever rate applies); (ii) payment-processing, currency-conversion, and chargeback fees; (iii) sales, use, VAT, and similar taxes; (iv) promotional discounts, credits, and price adjustments applied to that subscription; and (v) refunds, chargebacks, and reversals. Commissions are computed from Stint's records, which are conclusive absent manifest error; you have no right to audit Stint's books.
  • Recurring. Commissions recur while a referred member maintains an active, paid subscription attributed to your code and while you remain an active creator in good standing. On termination, withdrawal, or removal for any reason, commissions stop accruing as of that date; nothing here creates a lifetime or vested entitlement, and no commission accrues on renewals, resubscriptions, or revenue arising after your participation ends.
  • Attribution. A subscription is attributed to at most one creator: the creator whose valid, active code or link was most recently applied at the initial paid conversion ("last-code-wins"), as reflected in Stint's records, which are the sole system of record and are conclusive absent manifest error. Attribution does not survive a lapse: if an attributed subscriber cancels and later resubscribes without re-applying your code, the new subscription is not attributed to you. Where attribution is ambiguous or contested by more than one creator, Stint's determination is final. A self-referral (a redemption by you, an account you control, or a member of your household), and incentivized, fraudulent, bot-driven, or abusive redemptions, are not eligible and may be voided at any time.
  • Payouts. Commissions accrue in your account and are paid monthly, in arrears, once your accrued, undisputed balance meets or exceeds a minimum payout threshold, which will not exceed US $50 (we may lower it; we will not raise it above $50). Balances below the threshold carry forward and are not forfeited. You are responsible for providing accurate payout information.
  • Set-off and recovery. If your future payouts are insufficient to recover a reversed, clawed-back, or overpaid amount, that amount is a debt you owe Stint, and Stint may set it off against any amount it owes you under any engagement and may invoice you for the balance.
  • 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. We may apply a clawback at any time within 180 days of the underlying sale (or longer if a chargeback, refund, or fraud finding arrives later).

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, we will issue a Form 1099, and you agree to provide the tax documentation we reasonably request (e.g., a W-9).

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; we may withhold or reverse compensation attributable to the breach, and pursue any other remedy available to us. Earned, compliant commissions remain payable.

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. You must not publish content that depicts, identifies, or discloses the private information of any minor, or of any other person, without that person's (or, for a minor, their parent's or guardian's) written consent.

9.3 Content you show us or share back. If you send us content, screenshots, or footage, or grant us a license under Section 10.2 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

10.1 Our marks. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Stint LLC name, our Product names, and our logos (the "Marks") solely to promote the Products under these Terms and in accordance with any brand guidelines we provide. You will use the Marks only in the form and manner we specify, will not alter them, and will promptly correct or remove any use we object to. You may not: modify or create derivatives of the Marks; imply endorsement of unrelated products; register or use any trademark, business name, social handle, app-store listing name, or domain that is identical or confusingly similar to the Marks; bid on the Marks or confusingly similar terms in paid search or app-store search; or use the Marks in any misleading way or in a way damaging to our reputation. All goodwill from your use of the Marks inures solely to Stint. This license ends immediately when your participation ends or on our request, and you must then stop all use of the Marks.

10.2 Your content; license to us. You retain ownership of content you create. You grant Stint a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, reproduce, edit, adapt, distribute, publicly display and perform, and otherwise use the content you create in connection with the Program — including reposting it across our channels and running it as paid advertising — for the duration of the applicable intellectual-property rights. This license survives termination as to content created while you participated. We may credit you but are not required to. You confirm you have all rights and consents needed for us to use that content as described (see Sections 9.2 and 9.3), including from any person who appears in it.

10.3 No other rights. Except as expressly stated, neither party grants the other any rights in its intellectual property.

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; offer, pay, or accept any undisclosed payment, gift, or inducement to a user to subscribe, redeem a code, or post a review; 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 all earned, undisputed commissions then owed to you, regardless of the payout threshold, in the next regular payout cycle, provided your payout and tax information is accurate; only compensation tied to fraud, abuse, chargeback, or non-compliance may be withheld or reversed. Sections 3 (as to accrued compensation, clawbacks, set-off, and reconciliation), 5, 8.1, 8.4, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, and 18 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.

The limitations in this Section apply only to the liability of the Stint Parties to you. Nothing in this Section limits, caps, or waives your obligations to Stint, including your indemnification obligations (Section 17) and your obligations under Sections 8 (pre-release), 10 (intellectual property), 11 (confidentiality), and 13 (non-solicitation), or your liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or infringement or misappropriation of a third party's or Stint's rights. The exclusions and cap above do not apply to Stint's liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, for its gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud, or for any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

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. You will not attempt to re-identify, sell, share, or retain any customer data beyond what is necessary to participate, will delete it on termination, and will notify us promptly of any suspected exposure.

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.

18.1 Arbitration of Program disputes (standalone). You and Stint agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Program, these Terms, any Partnership Confirmation, your compensation, or your participation as a creator (a "Program Dispute") will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its applicable rules, seated in Fairfax County, Virginia, with the Federal Arbitration Act governing. You and Stint waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in any class, collective, consolidated, mass, or representative proceeding; the arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any representative proceeding, and whether this waiver is enforceable is for a court, not the arbitrator, to decide. Before starting an arbitration, the claimant must send a written notice of dispute to the other party (to Stint at support@stint.tech) and allow 60 days for informal resolution. Either party may still bring an individual small-claims action, or seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property, confidential information, or the non-solicitation covenant in Section 13. If a substantial number of similar demands are filed against Stint by or with coordinated counsel, the parties will follow any JAMS rules or procedures for coordinated or mass proceedings then in effect. This Section is independent of, and does not depend on your acceptance of, the general Terms of Service; where the general Terms of Service arbitration agreement also applies, this Section governs Program Disputes, and any opt-out you exercised as an app user does not opt you out of this Section. This Section survives termination.

18.2 Courts. For any Program Dispute not subject to arbitration, 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.

18.3 General. These Terms (with any Partnership Confirmation and the incorporated agreements) are the entire agreement on their subject matter. You may not assign these Terms or any Partnership Confirmation without our prior written consent, and any attempt is void; Stint may freely assign them to an affiliate or successor or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. Headings are for convenience only.
