The Platform is a marketplace that connects clients, such as brands and advertising agencies, with vetted third-party content creators, such as influencers, photographers, videographers, and consumers. Clients upload projects into the Platform and Creators can apply to participate. Clients then select the Creator or Creators they want to engage with for the applicable project. Clients manage communication, content approval, payment, shipping, and other project activity with Creators through the Platform.

Signet may change, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Platform at any time. Signet may impose limits on certain features and services or restrict a Creator's access to parts or all of the Platform without notice or liability.

The Platform is available only to individuals who are at least 18 years old. If Creator is an individual, Creator represents and warrants that Creator is at least 18 years old. Creator also certifies that they take full responsibility for the selection and use of the Platform. This Agreement is void where prohibited by law, and the right to access the Platform is revoked in such jurisdictions.

Creator will provide Signet with current, complete, and accurate information as prompted or requested.

Signet may furnish Confidential Information to Creator solely as necessary to enable Creator to perform the Project Brief and for no other purpose or use. Confidential Information means all confidential, proprietary, or non-public information, whether written, oral, or in another medium, furnished to Creator by Client or Signet. Creator shall use at least the same degree of care in protecting Confidential Information as Creator uses to protect Creator's own confidential information, but never less than commercially reasonable care.

Creator shall indemnify and hold harmless Signet, any Client that Creator engages with through the Platform, and their parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, managers, shareholders, agents, representatives, employees, and affiliates from and against all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, judgments, costs, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising from or relating to Creator's Custom Materials, breach of these Terms, violation of applicable laws, or fraud, bad faith, embezzlement, misappropriation of funds, conversion, negligence, or willful or intentional misconduct.

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, under no circumstances and under no legal theory shall Signet or its licensors or suppliers be liable under these Terms for indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of goodwill, work stoppage, accuracy of results, computer failure or malfunction, any amount in excess of the greater of $100 or the amounts actually paid by Client to Creator in the three-month period preceding the applicable claim, or any matter beyond Signet's reasonable control.

Creator agrees that any cause of action arising from or relating to the Platform must commence within six months after the cause of action accrues, regardless of when Creator first discovered or should have discovered the facts supporting the cause of action.

Creator acknowledges that Signet is under no obligation to become involved in disputes between Creators and Clients, including issues involving Custom Materials. If Signet helps resolve a dispute, it does so only as a courtesy. Creator releases Signet, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind related to such disputes or the Platform.
