Jestr provides a platform for video game studios (“Studios”) and creators (“Creators”) to connect through campaign-based programs (“Jestr Campaigns”). Studios create and fund campaigns with eligibility criteria and content requirements; Creators apply to participate and, if approved, submit videos for review. Approved videos may qualify the Creator for payouts calculated based on view counts, subject to these Terms and any campaign-specific rules.

Jestr does not manufacture or sell user Products and does not act as an employer, agent, or representative of Studios or Creators. Content, approvals, and payouts associated with Jestr Campaigns are primarily determined by Studios, with Jestr providing the platform tools to facilitate submissions, reviews, and payouts as described in these Terms.

Jestr is not a financial institution and does not provide banking or money transmission services. Where payouts are facilitated, they are paid via PayPal to the Creator's configured PayPal email. PayPal and any other third-party services are solely responsible for their services, which are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

To use certain features, you may need to create an account and provide the following information: username, first name, last name, age (to confirm you are 18+), and PayPal email (for payouts, if applicable). You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it updated.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities under your account. Please promptly notify us of any unauthorized use atcontact@jestr.com.

Linked Accounts. You may link certain external accounts or payment methods to facilitate payouts, including your PayPal account email (collectively, “Linked Accounts”). You represent and warrant that you own and have the right to link each Linked Account and authorize Jestr to store and use Linked Account details to operate the Service.

Account Ownership. The individual or entity controlling the first Linked Account with a payout method connected to your Jestr account is deemed the owner of all payout amounts associated with that Linked Account. Only that owner may direct removal or replacement of the Linked Account. Jestr will not mediate ownership disputes regarding accounts or associated revenue.

Identity Verification. We may, in our discretion, request identity or eligibility verification to prevent fraud, ensure compliance with law, or confirm age requirements. Failure to provide requested information may result in suspended or withheld payouts or access.

Jestr Campaigns allow studios to create offers with a reward rate, maximum payout, end date, and specific content requirements. Eligible creators (18+) may submit deliverables on supported social platforms for review. Approved deliverables may earn rewards until the earlier of the max payout being reached or the end date.

Campaign Funding and Currency. Studios must ensure sufficient funds to cover campaign payouts and associated costs. Unless otherwise stated, amounts are denominated in U.S. dollars and are non-refundable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

View-Based Payouts. Where payouts are based on view counts, qualification and calculation are determined from the metrics of supported social platforms (e.g., native analytics, platform APIs) or other evidence reasonably acceptable to Jestr or the Studio. Jestr and Studios may exclude Invalid Activity and may adjust or reverse payouts for errors, fraud, or policy violations.

Payout Method. Payouts to Creators are facilitated via PayPal to the PayPal email you provide. You authorize Jestr to instruct PayPal to remit payouts on your behalf. You are responsible for PayPal account accuracy, availability, and any fees PayPal charges. Jestr may withhold, delay, or reverse payouts in cases of suspected Invalid Activity, fraud, policy violations, disputes, or errors.

Clawbacks and Withholding. Jestr may withhold, offset, or claw back amounts paid or payable if we determine, in our reasonable discretion, that the associated activity violated these Terms, campaign rules, or involved Invalid Activity, or to correct errors.
