Yelogig Terms of use

Yelogig

by The Alta Brand
Platform Terms and Conditions
Effective Date: September 1, 2024

1. Introduction

Welcome to Yelogig.com, a collaborative platform that allows content creators (referred to as “Creators”) to monetize their social presence by completing gigs posted by brands (referred to as “Brands”). By accessing or using Yelogig, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Use. This document outlines the rights and responsibilities of all users of the platform, including but not limited to Creators and Brands. Please read these Terms carefully before using the platform.

2. User Registration and Eligibility

a. Eligibility Requirements:

To register for an account on Yelogig, users must agree to the following terms:

       Account Terms

  • You must be 13 years or older to be part of this Program.
  • You must be a human. Accounts registered by “bots” or other automated methods are not permitted.
  • You must provide your legal full name, a valid email address, and any other information requested in order to complete the signup process. Yelogig reserves the right to verify the information provided and to suspend or terminate accounts found to contain false or misleading information.
  • Your login may only be used by one person – a single login shared by multiple people is not permitted.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password. Yelogig cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation.
  • You are responsible for all Content posted and activity that occurs under your account.
  • One person or legal entity may not maintain more than one account of each type (creator or brand).

Yelogig may impose additional conditions as necessary. See our FAQ page for the most up-to-date information on registration eligibility.

b. Account Types

Yelogig offers two primary types of accounts: Creator Accounts and Brand Accounts. An existing Creator account email cannot be used to create a Brand account. The relationship between Brands and Creators is similar to that of Employers and Job Applicants. Brands may post gigs, and Creators respond by creating content based on the requirements stipulated by the Brand.

c. Team Accounts for Brands

Brands have the option to create team or staff member accounts to assist in managing operations such as posting gigs. These team accounts are subject to the same terms and conditions as the primary Brand account.

3. Brand Ambassador Disclaimer

Prohibited Designation

Neither Brands nor Creators are permitted to use the term “Brand Ambassador” solely based on the creation and submission of content for gigs on Yelogig.com. Any such designation without proper authorization is strictly prohibited. Misuse of this term may result in account suspension or other penalties.

4. Account Management and Conduct

a. Account Suspension and Restriction

Accounts may be suspended or restricted if there is a violation of these Terms or the Privacy Policy. Yelogig will typically issue a warning before restricting an account, but reserves the right to take immediate action in cases of severe violations. Accounts will be restored after a resolution is met between the user and Yelogig.

b. Account Deletion

Users have the right to delete their accounts at any time through their dashboard. However, it is important to note that upon account deletion, all active gigs, pending payments, unpaid earnings, and any other associated services will become unavailable. Deleted accounts cannot be recovered.

c. User Conduct

All users are expected to behave respectfully and professionally while using Yelogig. Any content or behavior that is sexually or racially provocative, or otherwise violates community standards, will not be tolerated and may lead to account suspension, restriction, or deletion.

5. Content Ownership and Usage Rights

a. Shared Ownership

By submitting content for gigs on Yelogig, Creators agree to share ownership rights of the content with both Yelogig and the Brand that posted the gig. This means that Yelogig and the Brand are licensed to download, copy, edit, repurpose, recreate, share, and use the content in any manner they see fit, including for commercial purposes and in perpetuity.

b. Post-Gig Content Accessibility

Once a gig has expired, Creators are not obligated to provide the content to Yelogig or the Brand. If the Brand requires the content for any purpose after the gig has ended, it must be obtained directly from the Creator’s social media pages or requested from the Creator.

c. Content Licensing

Creators agree that Yelogig, its affiliates, and the related Brands are granted a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the submitted content in any manner they deem appropriate. This includes, but is not limited to, advertising, marketing, and promotional activities.

6. Payments, Fees, and Financial Transactions

a. Gig Budget and Payments

Upon the completion and expiration of a gig, Creators will receive their portion of the gig budget, which will be credited to their Yelogig wallet within 48 hours. Creators can then request a withdrawal to their local bank account through the platform.

b. Platform Fees

Yelogig imposes certain fees for the use of its services, including but not limited to:

  • Creator Package Fees: A one-time, non-refundable fee that allows Creators to participate in gigs.
  • Brand Gig Fees: A fee charged to Brands for posting gigs on the platform.
  • Charge Per Gig (CPG): A fee applied to every gig budget, determined by Yelogig and subject to change. For the most current CPG rates, please refer to our FAQ page.
  • Payment Processor Service Charges: Fees imposed by third-party payment processors for handling transactions on the platform.

c. Refund Policy

Refunds for unused gig packages are available under certain conditions. Refund requests must be approved by Yelogig and, once approved, will be credited to the user’s Yelogig wallet on the same day. These funds can be used for new gig packages or withdrawn to a local bank account. Refunds are issued minus the Charge Per Gig (CPG) fee and any service charges paid to the payment processor. Used gig packages are not eligible for a refund.

Please visit our Refund Policy page for detailed information on how we manage refunds and process refund requests.

7. Yelogig Creator Affiliate Program Terms of Service

a. Agreement

By signing up to be an Affiliate in the Yelogig Creator Affiliate Program (“Program”) you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Terms of Use”).

Yelogig reserves the right to update and change the Affiliate Program Terms of Service from time to time without notice. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Program, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the Terms of Service. Continued use of the Program after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.

Violation of any Yelogig will result in the termination of your Account and for forfeiture of any outstanding affiliate commission payments earned during the violation. You agree to use the Affiliate Program at your own risk.

b. Links/graphics on your site, in your emails, or other communications

Once you have signed up for the Yelogig Creator Affiliate Program, you will be assigned a unique Affiliate Code (promo Code). You are permitted to place links, banners, or other graphics we provide with your Promo Code on your site, in your emails, or in other communications. We will provide you with guidelines, link styles, and graphical artwork to use in linking to Yelogig. We may change the design of the artwork at any time without notice, but we won’t change the dimensions of the images without proper notice.

To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with special link formats to be used in all links between your site and the Yelogig. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and the Yelogig properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to the Yelogig placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as “Special Links.” You will earn referral fees only with respect to sales on a Yelogig product occurring directly through Special Links; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you or someone you refer to use Special Links or incorrectly type your Promo Code, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.

c. Referral fees/commissions and payment

For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a Special Link from your site, email, or other communications to https://yelogig.com and complete an order for a product during that session, or use your unique Promo Code during checkout.

We will only pay commissions on referrals that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will not pay commissions if someone says they purchased or someone says they entered a promo code if it was not tracked by our system.

We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.

Payments only begin once you’ve earned more than ₦5,000 in affiliate income. If your affiliate account never crosses the ₦5,000 threshold, your commissions will not be realized or paid. We are only responsible for paying accounts that have crossed the ₦5,000 threshold.

d. Identifying yourself as a Yelogig Affiliate

You may not issue any press release with respect to this Agreement or your participation in the Program; such action may result in your termination from the Program. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, say you develop our products, say you are part of Yelogig or express or imply any relationship or affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement (including by expressing or implying that we support, sponsor, endorse, or contribute money to any charity or other cause).

e. Payment schedule

As long as your current affiliate earning are over ₦5,000, you’ll be paid each month. If you haven’t earned ₦5,000 since your last payment, we’ll pay you the following month after you’ve crossed the threshold.

f. Customer definition

Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be our customers. Accordingly, all of our rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect Products that you have listed on your site, you should not display product prices on your site. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.
