Terms of Service
Clearing Rate (“the Service”, “we”, “us”) is a creator-pricing tool operated by Counter Culture World. By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind that company, and “you” means the company.
1. What the Service does
Clearing Rate models a fair value for creator partnerships from the inputs you provide (platform, audience, engagement, deliverables and licence terms) against published rate benchmarks and confirmed deal data. It produces estimates and negotiation anchors. It does not set prices, execute deals, or guarantee any outcome.
Every figure the Service produces is an estimate for your own judgement. It is not financial, legal or professional advice, and you remain responsible for every offer you make or accept.
2. Accounts and teams
You need an account to use the Service. Keep your sign-in details to yourself and tell us promptly at ash@clearingrate.com if you believe your account has been used without your permission. Team plans are administered by the person who created the team; that administrator controls who holds a seat and can remove members at any time.
3. Plans, billing and cancellation
Paid plans are billed in advance on a monthly or annual cycle at the prices shown on the pricing page at the time you subscribe. Prices exclude tax where applicable. Plans renew automatically until cancelled; you can cancel any time from your billing settings and your plan stays active until the end of the period already paid for. Except where the law requires otherwise, fees already paid are not refunded.
Usage limits (valuations per month, roster size, campaigns, seats) are part of each plan as described on the pricing page. We may change prices or limits for future periods with at least thirty days’ notice by email.
4. Your data
You own what you put into the Service: rosters, creator records, campaign results, briefs, logos and notes (“your content”). You grant us the licence needed to store, process and display it back to you and your team, and to produce the reports you ask for. We do not sell your content or use it to train models.
You are responsible for having the right to upload any information about creators or third parties, and for using it in line with the laws that apply to you. Our handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy.
5. Acceptable use
Do not attempt to extract the underlying pricing model or benchmark tables, scrape or bulk-query the Service, resell access, share one seat between several people, interfere with the Service’s operation, or use it for anything unlawful. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms.
6. Our intellectual property
The Service, its pricing model, benchmark tables, templates, reports’ design, and the Clearing Rate name and mark belong to Counter Culture World. Clearing Rate™ is a trademark of Counter Culture World. These terms give you the right to use the Service, not any other right in it. Reports you export are yours to share with your clients and partners.
7. Availability and changes
We work to keep the Service available and accurate, but it is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. Benchmarks are re-validated with each release, and the model will change over time; a valuation produced today may differ from one produced later for the same inputs. We may add, change or retire features, and will give reasonable notice of any change that materially reduces what a paid plan includes.
8. Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Counter Culture World is not liable for indirect, consequential or special losses, lost profits, or lost deals arising from use of the Service, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
9. Ending the agreement
You can close your account at any time. We may end the agreement with notice if you breach these terms or if we withdraw the Service, in which case we will refund any prepaid fees for the unused period. On closure we delete your content as described in the Privacy Policy.
10. General
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Counter Culture World is established, and disputes will be heard by its courts. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. We may update these terms; the effective date above changes when we do, and continued use after that date is acceptance of the new terms.
