These interactions are subject to our Privacy Notice. By carrying on a conversation with our chat bot, you consent to receiving communications from the bot and to the processing of your conversation via Hubspot in accordance with any terms of use or privacy notice that may apply in connection with that platform.

2. Eligibility

You must be a Buyer, Seller, or an authorized representative of a Buyer or Seller to register to use Marketplace. To create an account, you must be over the age of eighteen (18) years old. Authorized agents may create accounts, with proof of authorization from the individual on whose behalf the account is created. IZEA reserves the right to vet any and all Buyers and Sellers before allowing them entrance into Marketplace, and to vet any listings, pitches, or casting calls before the same may be offered for sale to Buyers. Review of a user’s profile, account, Marketplace offerings, listings, or content does not create or transfer any liability to IZEA including, but not limited to, the accuracy of such content or the ownership rights to the same, or to the content services offered within Marketplace.

By registering for Marketplace, you are representing and warranting that all information you may submit is truthful and accurate, and that you agree to maintain the accuracy of such information. You understand and agree that IZEA will use the information you provide in accordance with the terms of the IZEA Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”), which is integrated into and included as part of these Terms. IZEA accounts are not transferable, assignable or resalable under any circumstances. Buyers and Sellers with accounts on the Site(s) who utilize Marketplace expressly agree to IZEA’s Privacy Notice. Buyers and Sellers are encouraged not to share any personally identifiable information with any other Marketplace user outside of entering into contracts for the purchase of services, and expressly agree that, to the extent of applicable law, IZEA takes no responsibility for any personally identifiable information they choose to send or otherwise upload through Marketplace. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees not to misuse information discovered through Marketplace to harass, bully, or SPAM those individuals who are users of Marketplace.

In order to make Marketplace a responsible and safe place, IZEA asks that all Buyers, Sellers, and other users acknowledge and agree to the following:

• Marketplace is offered and available to users who are 18 years of age or older. If you are under 18 you may not use Marketplace unless a parent or authorized agent does so on your behalf. By using Marketplace, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. You will not use a false identity or provide false or misleading information.

• Services that IZEA considers to be pornographic, sexually explicit, lewd, lascivious, violent, harassing, promoting illegal drug use, offensive, or otherwise unlawful or in violation of these Terms are not allowed to be posted and/or solicited, and removal of listings, casting calls, offerings and/or the offending account may follow.

• IZEA does not guarantee or warrant any service offered by a Seller or payment by a Buyer.

• Communications between parties outside of Marketplace are not IZEA’s responsibility and may not be used to circumvent these Terms of Service or misuse Marketplace for illegal or immoral purposes.

• All tangible information and file exchanges must be exclusively delivered through Marketplace, unless these Terms permit otherwise. Obtaining proof of all other performances or services not submitted through Marketplace is the Seller’s responsibility.

• Rude, abusive, offensive, improper language, or violent messages will not be tolerated and may result in an account warning or the suspension/removal of your account.

• Discrimination against another user based on gender, race, age, religious affiliation, sexual preference or otherwise is not acceptable and may result in the suspension/removal of your account.

• Frequent violation or infringement of proprietary rights or intellectual property rights may result in a termination of any listings or casting calls, your account access to Marketplace, and any other appropriate action IZEA may decide upon.

• Physical deliverables shall require the Buyer to provide the Seller a shipping address. IZEA does not guarantee shipping, tracking, quality, or condition of the items or their delivery. IZEA does not compensate Seller for any product(s) purchased to provide services.

• Users may not submit proposals or solicit parties introduced via Marketplace to contract, engage with, or pay for services outside of Marketplace.

In addition to the above list, IZEA can at any time disable an account, remove access, or reject any users of Marketplace or any proposed listing, pitches, or casting call, at any time and for any reason, in its sole discretion. This includes removal of accounts created to circumvent or abuse the Terms.

3. Fees and Payment

Marketplace is open to browse for listings (minimum value of $50 USD) and casting calls, but to enter into a Marketplace transaction you must be a registered user. Marketplace charges Sellers a service fee for listings purchased on the site.

The Creator Marketplace also allows for non-refundable membership subscriptions at various levels, at the fees advertised within Marketplace, for both Creators and Marketers.

If Buyer fails to make payment as set forth herein, Buyer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by Seller or by IZEA in collecting such amounts. All prices are in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated, and do not include taxes that may be assessed by any jurisdiction. If withholding taxes or any other fees are imposed by any jurisdiction on the transactions pursuant to these Terms, Buyer shall pay such taxes. Buyer agrees to promptly: (i) update all information to keep account and credit card billing current, complete and accurate (such as a change in billing address or e-mail), (ii) notify IZEA in writing if it becomes aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized disclosure or use of Buyer’s user name or password, and (iii) notify IZEA in writing if its credit card is canceled. Upon termination, suspension or discontinuation of Marketplace or any Site, all outstanding payment obligations incurred by Buyer in the platform will become immediately due and payable.

3.1. Dispute Policy

As IZEA is not a party to any agreements or contracts between Buyers and Sellers or to the services offered by users through Marketplace, IZEA has no formal role in any disputes between the parties. IZEA requests that the parties make a good faith attempt to amicably communicate with each other in order to resolve any such dispute. However, if the parties are unable to resolve a dispute after making an initial effort to do so, either party may provide any available proof and request that IZEA intervene by sending a request to support@izea.com or by using the automated dispute resolution process within Marketplace. Once involved, IZEA’s decision shall be final in resolving the matter. Note that escalated disputes or a significant number of disputes may result in a negative impact on a user’s ranking in Marketplace, result in a termination of any active listings or casting calls, or result in a termination of an account.

3.1.1. Refund Policy

Any refund requests shall be made directly to the Seller, as IZEA is not a party to any contracts or agreements regarding services offered by Sellers through Marketplace. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute amicably, a request may be made by a party to involve IZEA in the dispute, and IZEA may award no refund, a credit, or a full refund, in its sole discretion. Refunds shall be issued to Buyer’s valid credit card associated with the account.

3.1.2. Cancellation Policy & Rejection of Services

Rejection of an Order

A Marketplace deal may be voided or an offer rejected in the following circumstances: (i) Seller fails to respond to Buyer’s request to purchase a deal within a reasonable time period (i.e., within seventy-two (72) hours barring exigent circumstances), (ii) Seller actively declines the order, or (iii) Buyer submits an order request then fails to respond to Seller’s communications within a reasonable time period (i.e., within seventy-two (72) hours barring exigent circumstances).

Cancellation After Making a Deal

A Marketplace deal can be cancelled after Seller accepts an order in the event that (i) The agreed-upon delivery deadline has expired OR one party fails to respond to the other for a period of seven (7) days following the last message received, and a party does not agree to extend the time period for performance, such as a circumstance in which Seller fails to deliver services (including revisions), Seller receives product from Buyer but becomes unresponsive, or Seller does not respond to Buyer in the time period indicated above; (ii) Seller exceeds the allotted number of revisions without delivering a satisfactory product; (iii) Buyer does not respond to Seller for a period of seven (7) days following the last message received (a) to permit Seller to perform within the agreed-upon deadline for delivery of services, or (b) after Seller delivers content or services to Buyer and Buyer does not request revisions; or (iv) Buyer does not respond to Seller for a period of seven (7) days following the last message received after (a) Seller receives product from Buyer to be incorporated in delivering the services and the agreed-upon deadline has expired; or (b) Seller purchases product to be incorporated in delivering the services and the agreed-upon deadline has expired, during which time Seller may either complete the content and demand payment or cancel the order.

Rejection of Services Delivered

Rejecting delivery of the services or content, for whatever reason, is subject to the Seller’s terms for that listing or deal, and in accordance with the number of content revisions permitted by Seller in the listing or deal. Final rejection of the services after delivery and all revisions have been made, must be coordinated through an IZEA representative using the dispute resolution process. Unless a dispute has been initiated, failure on the part of the Buyer to expressly “accept” the services in a reasonable period of time following delivery will trigger an administrative review and a reminder to Buyer to take action. If, within seven (7) calendar days, Buyer has not taken an action, an administrator may intervene, and following review, all or a portion of the payment may be released to the Seller. Buyer may not make any use of the rejected or cancelled services or content provided.

Return of Materials Received

Should the Buyer reject services or content, or terminate a deal, Seller agrees to return all materials received from Buyer, at Seller’s own shipping cost. If Seller has already received payment then, in lieu of returning the items, Seller shall receive a reduction in payment for services rendered equal to the value of the non-returned items. In no event shall IZEA be responsible for obtaining, shipping, or reimbursing Buyer for materials sent to Seller.

Removal of Content

A Buyer may request that a Seller modify or remove any content posted about Buyer’s products or services, and to cease use of any content incorporating Buyer’s intellectual property, materials, or products, whether or not the same has been published. Should Seller be asked to reasonably modify or to remove posted content, Seller must do so within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving such instruction. Failure to do so may result in a loss of compensation (including a clawback of monies already paid) and other remedies, up to and including removal from Marketplace and any related IZEA Sites, and termination for cause of any related contracts.

3.2. Credit Card Charges

In addition to any subscription fees processed via credit card, other charges incurred in the platform shall be paid via credit card. Buyer will be responsible for charges resulting from the use of a Seller’s services. If Buyer’s account does not have a sufficient credit balance available to complete a transaction, Buyer’s credit card will be charged when the services are ordered. Buyer authorizes IZEA to charge Buyer’s credit card, as provided by the Buyer, to purchase a Seller’s services or pay for any agreed upon fees. Any approved rejection of services (whether agreed to by Seller or finally determined by IZEA) will be handled as a refund to Buyer’s credit card, per the terms of the listing or deal. Payment to Seller will be held as “pending” and the amounts shall not be available for withdrawal until forty-five (45) days after the delivered services are accepted in fulfillment of a deal or listing (or thirty (30) days for “Pro” level subscribers). Any attempt to dispute a valid transaction or reverse payment through your credit card provider is a violation of these Terms and may result in your account being temporarily suspended or permanently removed. Buyer represents and warrants that it has the legal right to use any credit card utilized in connection with Marketplace. By submitting such information, Buyer grants IZEA the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating the completion of transactions initiated by the Buyer. If the credit card provided was not authorized, then all amounts in the Buyer’s account will immediately be forfeited. If there is no balance in Buyer’s account to cover the fraudulent charge or failure to make payment when due, Buyer shall remain responsible for rendering such payment in a different manner. Buyer’s non-termination or continued use of Marketplace reaffirms that IZEA is authorized to charge Buyer’s credit card.

IZEA utilizes a third party payment processor for all credit card payments made on its Sites, and relies on such party to resolve any payment conflicts. Should Seller be unable to obtain payment from a Buyer, whether due to an unfounded dispute or chargeback, or due to Buyer’s use of a fraudulent method of payment, Seller should pursue recovery against Buyer directly and IZEA shall not be liable for any payments due or owed to the Seller.

IZEA reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the required method of payment for use of Marketplace at any time. If IZEA modifies the terms of the method of payment as outlined in this Section 3.2, Buyers and Sellers will be contacted by IZEA or the modifications will be reflected in an updated version of these Terms. If a user does not consent to such modified Terms, such user must immediately discontinue using Marketplace. A user’s continued enrollment after any modifications constitutes its acceptance of the terms and method of payment as modified.

4. Confidentiality

“Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by a disclosing party (e.g. IZEA, Buyer, Seller) to a receiving party (e.g. Seller, Buyer, IZEA) either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or by inspection of tangible objects, other than information that you can establish: (i) was publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure to the receiving party; (ii) becomes publicly known and made generally available after disclosure to the receiving party other than through the receiving party’s action or inaction; or (iii) is in receiving party’s possession, without confidentiality restrictions, prior to the time of disclosure by the disclosing party as shown by receiving party’s files and records. Receiving party shall not at any time (i) disclose, sell, license, transfer or otherwise make available to any person or entity any Confidential Information (except to those individuals who have a legitimate need to know such information and are bound in writing by confidentiality and non-use restrictions not less protective than those contained herein), or (ii) use, reproduce or copy any Confidential Information, except as necessary in connection with the purpose for which such Confidential Information is disclosed to the receiving party and in accordance with the Terms. Receiving party agrees to take all measures to protect the secrecy, and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of the Confidential Information. Receiving party may disclose Confidential Information if required by law to disclose the Confidential Information, provided that receiving party gives the disclosing party prompt written notice of such requirement prior to such disclosure and assistance in obtaining an order protecting the information from public disclosure, and provided further that any such disclosure is limited to the minimum extent necessary to comply with the legal requirement. All Confidential Information shall remain the disclosing party’s personal property and all documents, electronic media and other tangible items containing or relating to any Confidential Information shall be delivered to the disclosing party immediately upon its request, and also, upon termination of the Terms.

Nothing contained in the Terms will prevent IZEA, its parent and/or affiliates from complying with privacy laws and regulations, and if there is any conflict between the Terms and the terms of the applicable Privacy Notice, the Privacy Notice shall control.

Sellers acknowledge and agree that, as part of any service or content development they are contracted for, they have an obligation to keep confidential any and all materials provided to them by Buyers. This obligation survives the end, cancellation, or termination of any agreements between the parties.

5. Ownership & License Rights

5.1 Subscription License

Creators and Marketers may choose “Pro” level software license subscriptions to The Creator Marketplace, at the fees advertised plus applicable taxes, which are non-refundable. IZEA hereby grants each subscriber in countries where access is made available a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use The Creator Marketplace in accordance with any instructions provided by IZEA and in accordance with all applicable laws. Upon any termination by IZEA due to user’s breach or upon the expiration of the term of a subscription license due to non-renewal, subscriber shall have no further rights to access the Marketplace. However, the subscriber remains obligated to pay IZEA all amounts owed for the remaining subscription term as well as any pending or owed service fees and taxes, and any fees due for Marketplace services and transactions, as applicable.

5.2 Content License Rights & Ownership

Buyers and Sellers, when using Marketplace, can choose the following categories of owned or licensed content in connection with the services being purchased. Under no circumstance is any content or service to be used for any illegal, immoral, or defamatory purpose. No license is granted for rejected content or services. To the extent publicity rights are contemplated by the services provided, Seller grants a limited publicity rights license to Buyer to the extent required to make use of the content delivered, and solely in connection with such content, in accordance with the terms of the applicable license. No royalties shall be paid for any services or content delivered in Marketplace. Seller represents and warrants that it owns all copyright and has obtained all publicity releases and licenses required for Buyer to make use of the content as described below, and that such content shall be unique, original, and not repurposed.

a. Commercial – The services and content, following delivery, acceptance, and full payment, belong to the Buyer. Seller assigns the copyright in the content and grants to Buyer all rights and licenses to exploit the services. Buyer shall own the copyright in and to the services and may use, reproduce, have reproduced, edit for length or clarity, publish and exploit such services in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, licensing the services to any agent or third party, copying, distributing, displaying, publicly performing, and creating derivative works of the services. In addition, Buyer and Seller each specifically grants IZEA a worldwide, perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free, and fully sublicensable right and license to share, use, copy, process, adapt, translate, display, perform, reproduce, republish, and distribute the content or any portion thereof in any and all forms of media or distribution methods (now known or hereafter developed), including but not limited to television, radio, print, Internet site and other electronic communications, for purposes of promoting IZEA.

b. Personal – The services and content, upon delivery, acceptance, and full payment, are licensed to the Buyer but Seller retains copyright ownership. The Seller grants to Buyer and IZEA a worldwide, perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free, and fully sublicensable right and license (excluding commercial use) to share, use, copy, display, distribute, perform, publish, and reproduce the content in any and all forms of media or distribution methods (now known or hereafter developed), including but not limited to television, radio, print, Internet site and other electronic communications. The content may not be modified in any way from its original form without Seller’s permission. Any use, publication, or distribution of the content must be accompanied by credit to the Seller who created it, by use of the Seller’s name or social media handle (if made available by Seller, for published content) in connection with such content. No licenses for derivative works of the services or modified services are granted to Buyer.

c. Sponsored Social Content – Content is created by a Seller for Buyer’s marketing campaign and is submitted, posted, displayed, or shared to Seller’s followers through his or her personal social media platforms. Unless otherwise indicated in a Listing description, Deal, or Options, or unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties in a separate communication or writing, Content is owned by Seller, but IZEA and Buyer receive a worldwide, perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free, and fully sublicensable right and license to share, use, copy, process, adapt, translate, display, perform, reproduce, republish, and distribute the content or any portion thereof in any and all forms of media or distribution methods (now known or hereafter developed), including but not limited to television, radio, print, Internet site and other electronic communications. Any use, publishing, or distribution of a Seller’s content must be accompanied by credit to the Seller of that content by use of the Seller’s name, likeness, image, username/handle or other identifying representation (to which Buyer and IZEA will receive a limited license). While Buyer has the right to reuse the Content outside of its native platform, as described above, FTC guidelines state that the connection between the Seller and Buyer (or brand) must be disclosed and the Content must be attributed to the Seller. The disclosure should also clearly and conspicuously communicate that the Seller is paid by or works with the Buyer (or brand).

d. Streaming / Temporal Limited Licenses – Seller creates content as requested by Buyer which only lives on a particular platform that may prohibit off-platform sharing or may limit the time period for which such content may remain live. Platforms may include Clubhouse, Instagram, Twitch, YouTube, and other photo/video sharing sites, social audio sites, and conferencing sites. Buyer receives a limited license to such content only for the period it is streaming, live, or otherwise made available on the particular platform. Buyer is encouraged to coordinate with Seller on the timing of publication for such content, or to otherwise obtain proof that content has been delivered per the terms mutually agreed upon by the parties.

5.3 Deal Features and Options

A Seller may offer a listing at different deal levels with various options or features available, at set prices. A Buyer may select certain options to customize the required services or content to be purchased in a deal. The Seller may request that the Buyer provide supplemental information or files as required to complete the services. If the Seller has placed time limitations on any of the licensed content or services provided, including usage limitations on third party content incorporated into the services or licensed content, Buyer must comply with the same, including ceasing the use, distribution, or advertising of the content, and the removal of such content from publication, display, or distribution after the expiration of such time period.

5.4 Third Party Content & Waivers

Seller represents and warrants that it has the rights to incorporate any and all third party intellectual property, including stock video or stock photo licensing, as well as any publicity waivers required for content (including images of third parties), and Buyer must comply with all usage terms as advised by Seller. By offering a service, the Seller undertakes that he/she has sufficient permissions, rights and/or licenses to provide, sell or resell the service that is offered on Marketplace. Failing to do so may result in removal or suspension of Seller’s account, among other measures available to IZEA.

IZEA does not check Seller uploaded or created content for appropriateness, violations of copyright, trademarks, other rights or violations. Buyers and Sellers agree that IZEA shall not be responsible for the content, quality, or the level of service provided by the Sellers. No warranty is provided by IZEA with respect to the services offered by Sellers, delivery of any services, and any communications between Buyers and Sellers. We encourage Buyers to carefully consider choosing appropriate services and Sellers.

5.5 Casting Calls

Participating Marketers create and list Casting Calls in the Marketplace, often as part of a larger marketing goal or campaign, which offer Creators the chance to receive compensation (i.e. cash, event access, free products, publicity, etc.) in exchange for creating and/or distributing sponsored social content and/or performing an action through their social network or in person. Creator must comply with the requirements set forth by the Marketer in connection with the Casting Call. Each Casting Call should contain a complete description of the requirements and the compensation to be paid by the Marketer. Creators shall disable other ads from running on the paid content of a Casting Call. Should Marketer accept a Creator to participate in a Casting Call, Marketer is solely responsible for the review and approval of Creator’s content, compliance with laws, and for the payment of any compensation to be received. IZEA is not liable if payments are not made by Marketer. Marketer retains responsibility for payment of any or all approved offers and content under review, which will become immediately due and payable, regardless of whether or not Marketer’s access to the Platform is terminated.

Creators participating in the Marketplace must clearly disclose in their sponsored content the relationship between themselves and the Marketers. FTC guidelines require that disclosure be made in a meaningful way that makes clear to an ordinary consumer that there is a relationship between the Creator and the Marketer. Creator agrees to comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising and Disclosures 101 for Social Media Influencers and to comply with all applicable local, state, federal and international laws and regulations in the preparation and delivery of Content. Marketer and Creator, not IZEA, shall be liable for any failure to comply with FTC guidelines. Any violations of the above terms by Creator may be cause for termination of any relevant contracts, casting calls, or listings involving Creator.

By responding to a Casting Call, Creator acknowledges that (i) it will follow the Casting Call’s parameters, instructions, and guidelines, (ii) it has the authority and ability to perform the requested service within the stated time period, as applicable, (iii) all submitted content will be in the English language or such other language as indicated in the requirements, (iv) all submitted content or action will be original (not repurposed) and does not infringe on any license, copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right of any third party, (v) all required releases and waivers will be timely executed and submitted, (vi) all ads will be disabled in paid social media posts, (vii) all submitted content or action is in compliance with the terms of necessary third party platforms, and (viii) all submitted content or action does not include or support excessive profanity, violence, racial intolerance, illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia, pornography or any other content that promotes intolerance, illegal activity or infringes on the legal rights of others.

Creator will receive payment for the completion of the casting call as agreed upon between the Marketer and the Creator. Creators, as part of any Casting Call they are contracted for, have an obligation to keep confidential any and all materials provided to them by Marketers. This obligation survives the end, cancellation, or termination of any agreements between Marketers and Creators.
