Legal

Terms of Service

1. The agreement

viewd is a creator-marketing platform operated by Cooksat LLC (“viewd”, “we”, “us”). These terms are a binding agreement between you and Cooksat LLC and apply to viewd.net and the viewd application (the “Services”). By creating an account or using the Services you accept them. If you use the Services for a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind it, and “you” includes that entity.

We may update these terms as the product evolves. We will post the updated version on this page and, for material changes, give additional notice through the product or by email. Changes apply going forward; continued use after the effective date is acceptance.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter a binding contract. You agree to provide accurate, current information when creating an account and to keep it updated. You may not impersonate anyone, misstate your identity, location, or affiliation, or create an account for someone else.

You are responsible for your credentials and for activity on your account. Tell us promptly at viewdnet@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorized access. We may require identity or business verification and may restrict accounts that fail it.

3. What viewd is (and is not)

viewd connects UGC creators with brands. Brands post campaigns; creators apply; viewd provides discovery, matching, messaging, and first-party performance analytics for connected social accounts.

viewd is the venue, not a party to collaborations. When a brand and a creator agree to work together, that agreement, its deliverables, and its payment terms are between the two of them. viewd is not an agent, employer, broker, escrow agent, or payment intermediary for either side, does not hold or transmit money between users, and does not guarantee that any campaign will receive applicants, that any collaboration will happen or succeed, or that content will achieve any particular views, engagement, or sales.

We may add, change, or retire features at any time. Analytics and any automated recommendations are provided for information; they can be incomplete or wrong and are not professional advice.

4. Creator terms

  • Your profile, portfolio, social handles, follower counts, and rates must be accurate and yours. Connect only accounts you control.
  • Authentic metrics only. Buying or faking followers, views, likes, comments, or any other engagement (bots, engagement pods, incentivized or purchased traffic, view farms) is prohibited and grounds for immediate termination.
  • You are an independent professional, not an employee, agent, or partner of viewd. You choose which campaigns to apply to and how you work. You are responsible for your own taxes.
  • Content you make for brands must comply with law and platform rules, including clear and conspicuous disclosure of material connections (for example FTC endorsement disclosures such as #ad) where required.

5. Brand terms

  • Brands pay viewd a fee per campaign to publish it and to review and connect with applicants. There is no long-term contract.
  • You are solely responsible for your products, services, claims, briefs, creative guidelines, and instructions, and for their legality (including advertising, consumer-protection, and endorsement-disclosure law). Do not ask a creator to make a false, unsubstantiated, or undisclosed-paid claim.
  • Creator profiles and analytics are provided so you can evaluate and run campaigns on viewd. You may not scrape, export, resell, or use them to recruit for a competing service, and you may not mass-contact creators unrelated to a campaign.
  • Campaigns for illegal products or services, or that target minors improperly, are prohibited. We may decline or remove any campaign at our discretion.

6. Collaborations and payments

Collaboration terms (deliverables, deadlines, usage rights, compensation, and payment method and timing) are agreed between the brand and the creator. viewd is not responsible for either side’s performance or payment, and any dispute about a collaboration is between the parties to it. Put your agreement in writing; the messaging thread on viewd is a good record.

Non-circumvention. If you are introduced to a brand or creator through viewd, you agree not to move that relationship off the platform for the purpose of avoiding viewd’s fees, for 12 months after the introduction. Relationships you can document existed before the introduction are exempt. Circumvention may result in termination and any remedies available at law.

7. Fees and billing

Campaign fees are shown before you pay and are charged per campaign. Except where the law requires otherwise, fees are earned when the campaign is published and are non-refundable; declining applicants, pausing a campaign, or being dissatisfied with applicant volume or campaign results does not create a refund right. If we cancel a paid campaign for reasons other than your breach, we will refund the unused fee for it.

Payments are processed by third-party payment providers; we do not store full card numbers. You authorize the charges you approve in the product, and you agree to raise billing questions with us at viewdnet@gmail.com before initiating a chargeback so we can resolve them directly. Prices may change prospectively; a change never applies to a campaign you have already paid for.

8. Your content

You keep ownership of the content, portfolio material, and links you add to viewd. You grant viewd a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, and adapt (for formatting) that content as needed to operate the Services: for example showing a creator’s portfolio to brands, or a campaign brief to creators. If you feature in public case studies or marketing, we will ask first.

Rights to campaign content a creator makes for a brand (ownership, license scope, paid-ad usage, exclusivity) are set by the brand-creator agreement, not by these terms.

You represent that everything you upload is yours or properly licensed (including music, footage, trademarks, and the likeness of anyone appearing in it) and does not infringe anyone’s rights. We may remove content that we reasonably believe is infringing, unlawful, or in breach of these terms, and we respond to copyright notices sent to viewdnet@gmail.com.

9. Connected social accounts

You can connect social media accounts you control (Instagram and Facebook via Meta, TikTok, and YouTube via Google) so viewd can display first-party performance analytics. Connections use each platform’s official login and API; we never ask for your social media passwords. What we access and how we protect it is described in our Privacy Policy. You can disconnect at any time in viewd or by revoking access in the platform’s own settings.

Your use of a connected platform remains governed by that platform’s own terms, and data we receive from Meta and TikTok is handled in accordance with the Meta Platform Terms and TikTok Developer Terms.

YouTube. viewd uses YouTube API Services for connected YouTube channels. By connecting a channel you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service; Google’s handling of your data is described in the Google Privacy Policy. You can revoke viewd’s access at any time via your Google security settings.

10. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • break the law, or post content that is fraudulent, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or sexually exploitative;
  • fake or inflate metrics, reviews, or campaign performance, or misrepresent who you are;
  • scrape, crawl, or bulk-export the Services or other users’ data, or use it to build or feed a competing service;
  • probe, disrupt, overload, or attempt unauthorized access to the Services or other accounts, or upload malware;
  • reverse engineer or copy the Services except where the law says we cannot stop you; or
  • help anyone else do any of the above.

We may investigate suspected violations, and we may remove content, restrict features, or suspend or terminate accounts, immediately and without notice where the conduct is serious.

11. viewd's intellectual property

The Services, including the software, design, analytics, and the viewd name and marks, belong to Cooksat LLC and its licensors. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Services while you have an account. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without restriction or compensation.

12. Termination

You can stop using viewd and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these terms, create risk for other users or the platform, or where we are required to by law; for minor, fixable breaches we will usually warn you first. Sections that by their nature should survive (content licenses already granted, fees owed, disclaimers, liability limits, disputes) survive termination.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VIEWD DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT ANALYTICS (INCLUDING DATA REPORTED BY SOCIAL PLATFORMS) WILL BE ACCURATE OR AVAILABLE, OR THAT ANY CAMPAIGN, COLLABORATION, OR CONTENT WILL ACHIEVE ANY RESULT. SOCIAL PLATFORMS MAY CHANGE OR RESTRICT THEIR APIS, ACCOUNTS, OR CONTENT AT ANY TIME; THAT IS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VIEWD WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR DATA, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. VIEWD’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS OR (B) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID VIEWD IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO PARTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

15. Indemnification

You will defend and indemnify Cooksat LLC and its officers, employees, and agents against claims, damages, and reasonable legal costs arising from your content, your campaigns or collaborations, your breach of these terms, or your violation of law or third-party rights, except to the extent caused by our own misconduct.

16. Disputes and governing law

Talk to us first: before filing any claim, email viewdnet@gmail.com with a description of the dispute and the relief you want, and give us 30 days to try to resolve it informally.

If we cannot, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Services or these terms will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, conducted remotely where possible. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or platform security. YOU AND VIEWD EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Claims must be brought within one year of accruing, where the law allows.

These terms are governed by the laws of the state in which Cooksat LLC is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and any court proceedings not subject to arbitration will take place in that state’s courts.

17. General

These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any campaign-specific terms shown in the product, are the entire agreement between you and viewd about the Services. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
