Host Agreement

Age. You must be at least 18 years old to host on Amaze Live.

Authority. If you are hosting on behalf of an organization (a brand, agency, or other entity), you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to this Agreement, and “you” refers to both you individually and the organization you represent.

Identity Verification. We may require you to verify your identity (including by providing government-issued identification) before approving you to host, and at any time during the term of this Agreement.

Tax Documentation. Where we make any payment to you, you agree to provide accurate tax documentation — IRS Form W-9 if you are a U.S. resident or entity, or the applicable W-8 form if you are not — before payment is issued.

Sanctions. You represent that you are not subject to U.S. economic sanctions, are not located in a country subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and are not on any U.S. government restricted-party list.

No Employment. You are an independent contractor, not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer of Amaze. Nothing in this Agreement creates any of those relationships.

No Benefits. You are not entitled to employee benefits, including health insurance, retirement contributions, paid leave, workers’ compensation, or unemployment insurance.

Your Own Business. You are responsible for your own business operations, including your own equipment, internet connection, taxes, accounting, insurance, and compliance with applicable law.

Taxes. You are solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes on income you receive in connection with this Agreement. Where required by law, we will report payments to you on IRS Form 1099 or equivalent.

No Exclusivity. Unless we have entered into a separate written agreement to the contrary, this Agreement is non-exclusive. You may host, sell, or promote on other platforms and other users may host, sell or promote the same products as you.

Compliance with Policies. You agree to comply with our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, Prohibited Items Policy and any host-specific policies we publish from time to time.

Honest Product Representation. You will accurately describe products you present in your streams, including condition, features, limitations, pricing, availability, and shipping or fulfillment terms. You will not make claims about products that you cannot substantiate, and will not make any health, safety, or performance claim that is not supported by competent and reliable evidence.

FTC and Disclosure Compliance. You will comply with all applicable advertising and disclosure laws, including the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s (“FTC”) Endorsement Guides [ADD ENDORSEMENT GUIDE URL]. This includes disclosing:

• any material connection between you and a brand or merchant whose products you present, including paid sponsorships, gifted product, free product, discounts, and any other consideration you receive (or expect to receive);
• any commercial relationship that could reasonably influence your endorsement;
• any affiliate or referral relationships under which you receive (or may receive) compensation for products presented in your streams.

You will make these disclosures clearly and conspicuously. The disclosure must be made verbally during the relevant segment of the stream, in a manner that is reasonably likely to be seen and understood by viewers. The foregoing is a summary of the legal requirements under the FTC Endorsement Guides; compliance with the foregoing is not a substitute for compliance with applicable laws.

Affiliate Programs. If you use third-party affiliate or referral links in your streams, you are solely responsible for complying with the rules of those programs (including, where applicable, the policies of Amazon Associates regarding linking, mentioning prices, and disclosure). Amaze is not a party to your third-party affiliate arrangements.

Prohibited Products. You will not present, advertise, demonstrate, or facilitate the sale of any product on our Prohibited Items Policy, or any product that is illegal in the jurisdiction where you stream or in any jurisdiction reasonably likely to receive your stream.

Authentication and IP. You represent that you have all rights necessary to present any product, image, brand, music, or other content used in your streams. You will not present items requiring authentication (luxury goods, collectibles, trading cards, sneakers) under false claims of authentication or grading.

No Misrepresentation. You will not misrepresent your identity, qualifications, location, expertise, or relationships, and will not impersonate any other person or entity. You will not misrepresent your experience with or the effectiveness of any product you are selling, you will only make truthful statements during your events.

Live Show Standards. You will comply with the following standards for live shows: (i) you will not participate in or feature or otherwise expose the audience to illegal activities during streams, (ii) you will be actively engaged during streams (no inactive shows or static screens), (iii) you will not stream while operating a vehicle, (iv) you will not stream while intoxicated, under the influence of drugs or otherwise incapacitated, and (v) you will not engage in reckless behavior on stream.

Privacy of Others. You will not disclose personal information of viewers or third parties without their consent, including order details, contact information, financial information, addresses, or other private details.

Recording. If you enable recording for your streams, you understand that the recording will capture viewer chat and reactions and may be replayed, distributed, and otherwise used by Amaze as described in our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Spring Storefronts. Where products presented in your stream are sold through Spring storefronts, you agree to comply with Spring’s seller policies, available at [SPRING SELLER URL], in addition to this Agreement.

Definitions. “Host Content” means audio, video, images, text, product descriptions, demonstrations, and other materials you present, broadcast, upload, or submit through the Service in connection with Hosting Activities. Host Content includes recorded streams and clips.

Ownership. You retain ownership of your Host Content, subject to the licenses you grant under this Agreement.

License to Amaze. You grant Amaze a limited, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, perform, distribute, modify (for technical purposes such as encoding and resizing), translate, create derivative works of (including clips, captions, excerpts, and recap content), and otherwise use Host Content in connection with:

• operating, providing, and improving the Service;
• promoting the Service and your streams — including using clips, screenshots, and excerpts in marketing materials, in social media posts, in email communications to users, and on third-party platforms;
• developing, training, and improving content moderation systems and other internal models;
• complying with legal obligations, including responding to lawful requests from public authorities.

Name and Likeness. You grant Amaze the right to use your name, voice, image, likeness, biographical information, and stream excerpts as reasonably necessary to operate, promote, and provide the Service consistent with this Agreement, including in marketing materials.

No Obligation. Nothing in this Agreement obligates Amaze to use any Host Content as set forth in this Section 4.

Specific Programs. From time to time, we may offer payment to hosts under specific programs — including subscription tier rebates, revenue share arrangements, sponsored stream programs, or featured-host compensation. The terms of any such program will be presented to you separately and will form part of this Agreement when you participate.

No Guarantee. Except where we have entered into a separate written agreement with you for specific compensation, Amaze does not guarantee any payment for your Hosting Activities.

Affiliate Commissions. Where you include affiliate or referral links in your streams under your own arrangements with third-party programs, any commissions are paid by those programs directly to you. Amaze is not a party to those arrangements and does not facilitate those payments.

Disputes. If you believe Amaze owes you a payment under a specific program, contact [ACCOUNTING EMAIL] within sixty (60) days of the disputed payment or if an expected payment is not received, within sixty (60) days of the expected payment date, with sufficient detail for us to investigate. If we do not receive notice of the dispute before sixty (60) days have elapsed from the payment date or expected payment date, the payment is deemed accepted as issued and further disputes are waived.

Withholding and Offset. We may withhold from payments to you any amounts required by applicable law, and may offset payments by amounts you owe Amaze under this Agreement or any other agreement.

Confidential Information. In the course of your relationship with Amaze, you may receive non-public information that Amaze identifies in writing as confidential at the time of disclosure, including information about pre-release product features and information shared with you as part of host previews or testing programs (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information subject to this Section 6 will be clearly marked as “confidential.”

Your Obligations. You agree to:

• keep Confidential Information confidential for the term of this Agreement and a period of two years after the termination of this Agreement;
• use Confidential Information only as reasonably necessary to perform your obligations under this Agreement;
• not disclose Confidential Information to third parties without our prior written consent.

Exceptions. Confidential Information does not include information that (a) is or becomes publicly known through no fault of yours, (b) was known to you before disclosure by Amaze, (c) is independently developed by you without use of Confidential Information, or (d) is required to be disclosed by law (provided you give us prompt notice where legally permitted, so that we may seek a protective order).

By You. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Amaze and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from any claim, demand, loss, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to:

• your Host Content, including any claim that it infringes intellectual property, defames any person, violates any privacy or publicity right, or violates any law;
• your acts, omissions, or conduct in connection with the Service — including your statements about products, your interactions with viewers, brands, and other users, and any claim that you made misleading or unsubstantiated representations;
• your breach of this Agreement, the Terms of Service, the Community Guidelines, or any other Amaze policy;
• any failure to make required disclosures under the FTC’s Endorsement Guides or applicable advertising laws;
• any claim by a brand, merchant, viewer, or third party arising out of your stream content or your relationships with them;
• any tax liability arising from amounts paid to you, including any failure to remit applicable taxes;
• any claim that you are or should have been classified as an employee, joint employee, agent, or partner of Amaze rather than an independent contractor.

Procedure. We will notify you of any claim for which we seek indemnification and may, at our discretion, participate in or assume the defense. You will not settle any claim without our prior written consent.

Term. This Agreement begins when you first accept it and continues until terminated.

Termination by You. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by ceasing all Hosting Activities and closing your host account.

Termination by Amaze. We may terminate this Agreement or suspend your Hosting Activities at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. Causes for termination include: breach of this Agreement; breach of our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines; promotion of items on the Prohibited Items Policy; conduct that creates legal, reputational, or operational risk for Amaze; failure to make required disclosures; sustained inactivity; and any conduct that brings Amaze into public disrepute.

Effect of Termination. Upon termination:

• your right to host on Amaze Live ends immediately;
• your existing recordings and clips may, at our discretion, remain available on the Service consistent with the license in Section 4;
• any earned but unpaid amounts under specific compensation programs will be paid in accordance with those programs, all subscription fees are nonrefundable;
• Sections 4 (with respect to existing Host Content), 5.4, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11 survive.

Service Provided As-Is. The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no representations or warranties about uptime, viewership, audience growth, conversion rates, sales, or any other outcome from your Hosting Activities.

No Endorsement of Brands or Products. We do not endorse any brand, merchant, or product you may present. Decisions about which brands to work with and which products to feature are yours alone, and any commercial arrangement with a brand or merchant is solely between you and that brand or merchant.

No Warranties. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Indirect Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will Amaze or its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, or licensors be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including damages for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or relating to your Hosting Activities and/or your use of the Service, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Cap. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (A) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100) or (B) the amount actually paid under this Agreement in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Relationship to Other Agreements. Our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, Prohibited Items Policy and any program-specific terms apply to you and form part of this Agreement. If we have entered into a separate signed written agreement with you for a specific program (e.g., a sponsored stream agreement, an enterprise host agreement), that signed agreement governs to the extent of any conflict with this Agreement.

Modifications. We may modify this Agreement from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email at the address associated with your account or through the Service before the changes take effect. Continued Hosting Activities after the effective date of a modified Agreement constitute your acceptance of the modifications.

Governing Law and Disputes. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement are subject to the dispute resolution provisions of our Terms of Service (including the arbitration agreement and class action waiver, if applicable).

Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. We may assign this Agreement without your consent in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement is not a waiver of that provision.

Notices. Notices to Amaze must be sent to [LEGAL EMAIL]. We may give you notice by email at the address associated with your host account or through the Service.

Construction. “Including” means “including without limitation.” Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
