Creator Guidelines

These Creator Guidelines govern the use of content publishing, audience engagement, and monetization tools on the voomy platform.

By creating a channel, publishing content, or using monetization tools, a creator agrees to these Guidelines, the Community Guidelines, and other platform documents.

1. Creator status

A creator is a user who publishes content on the voomy platform.

Creators independently determine the format of their activity, the content they publish, and the terms on which access to it is provided through the platform's tools.

Creators are responsible for complying with the law and respecting the rights of third parties.

2. Creator content

A creator may publish:

• videos;
• stream recordings;
• playlists;
• text posts;
• educational materials;
• entertainment content;
• other content not prohibited by law or the platform rules.

Creators must ensure that the content they publish complies with the Community Guidelines.

3. Rights to content

By posting content on the platform, a creator confirms that:

• they have the necessary rights to publish the content;
• or they have a lawful basis for using and distributing it;
• publishing the content does not infringe the rights of third parties.

Creators bear sole responsibility for any claims from rightsholders, users, and third parties relating to their published content.

4. Third-party content

A creator may publish content owned by third parties only if they have the necessary rights, licenses, permissions, or another lawful basis.

voomy does not verify the rights to every piece of content before it is published.

When a substantiated complaint is received from a rightsholder, the administration may restrict access to the relevant content until its review is complete.

5. Copyright

Creators must respect the rights of rightsholders.

The following are prohibited:

• presenting another person's content as one's own;
• publishing materials in violation of copyright;
• distributing content whose use is prohibited by the rightsholder;
• circumventing technical restrictions designed to protect content.

If a violation of a rightsholder's rights is confirmed, voomy may remove the content and take action against the creator's account.

6. Creator channel

Creators manage their own channels.

A creator may:

• publish content;
• delete their own content;
• create playlists;
• use subscription tools;
• engage with their audience.

Creators are responsible for the security of their accounts and login credentials.

7. Subscriptions and paid access

The platform provides tools for creating subscription tiers and restricting access to content.

Creators independently determine:

• the subscription price;
• the benefits of each tier;
• the content available to subscribers;
• the terms for accessing their content.

Creators must describe subscription benefits in good faith and must not mislead users.

8. Obligations to subscribers

Creators must:

• give subscribers access to content in accordance with their chosen subscription tier;
• publish accurate information about subscription benefits;
• not use subscriptions for fraudulent purposes;
• follow the platform rules when interacting with subscribers.

Creators independently determine the frequency of publication and volume of content unless the subscription description expressly states otherwise.

9. Monetization

Creators may use the monetization tools available on the platform.

Monetization may be used only in compliance with:

• the Community Guidelines;
• these Creator Guidelines;
• legal requirements;
• the terms of use of payment services.

10. Monetization restrictions

The administration may restrict or disable monetization if there are grounds to believe that a creator:

• violates the platform rules;
• engages in fraud;
• infringes the rights of third parties;
• uses the platform for illegal activity;
• earns income from content that violates the law.

11. Payouts

Payouts to creators are made in accordance with the current Monetization Policy.

The platform may:

• temporarily hold payouts while a review is conducted;
• delay payouts when payment disputes exist;
• restrict withdrawals in cases prescribed by the platform rules or the law.

12. Complaints and reviews

The administration may review a creator's content and activity when:

• user complaints are received;
• rightsholders submit requests;
• signs of fraud are detected;
• violations of the platform rules are detected.

Access to specific content or account features may be restricted for the duration of a review.

13. Interactions with users

Creators must follow standards of respectful communication.

The following are prohibited:

• threatening users;
• publishing users' personal data;
• using the platform to harass or bully others;
• impersonating another person or organization.

14. Suspending a creator account

The administration may temporarily or permanently restrict a creator's access to the platform for:

• systematic violations of the rules;
• publishing prohibited content;
• infringing the rights of third parties;

For serious violations, an account may be suspended without prior warning.

15. Creator liability

Creators bear sole responsibility for:

• the content they publish;
• compliance with the law;
• respect for third-party rights;
• fulfilling obligations to subscribers;
• the accuracy of information they publish.

voomy is not responsible for a creator's actions or for the content they publish.

16. Changes to the Guidelines

voomy may amend these Creator Guidelines as the platform evolves, service features change, or legal requirements change.

The current version of the document is always published on the platform's official website.

Continued use of the platform after changes take effect constitutes the creator's acceptance of the new version of the Guidelines.
