Komi Terms for Creators
Last updated: June 2025
Welcome to Komi
These terms (“Creator Terms”), and the documents we refer to in them, apply to your
use of Komi and to transactions made through Komi, including our website and your Komi
Creator page (“Komi Services”).
Please read these Creator Terms carefully, to understand what we can do for you, how you
can use Komi and how transactions through Komi work and how Komi features and
content, subscriptions, ‘bundles’ and services you make available through Komi are made
available to other non-Creator users of Komi or visitors to your Profile (collectively
Fans”).
When you create a Creator account with us, and when you use Komi Services, you are
agreeing to comply with these Creator Terms.
1. WHO WE ARE
Komi App Limited (“we, “us”) is a company registered in England, with
company number 12268875 and registered address: 35 Ballards Lane, London
N3 1XW, United Kingdom. Email address:
support@Komi.io.
2. KOMI WORKS FOR CREATORS
2.1 Your Komi Creator page (your “Profile”) is the ultimate destination for Fans,
allowing you to aggregate your content, services, other offerings, and commerce
into one place, and build your digital community using Komi’s digital
infrastructure. We also provide in-built tools and integration with third-party
channels to help you monetize your Komi Creator page.
2.2 We don’t want to get in your way. When a Fan engages with, or purchases, your
content, products, events, experiences (digital or physical), tickets, gift
capabilities, subscription or ‘bundle’ offerings, or other materials or services made
available through your Komi Creator page by you (“Creator Services”), their
agreement is with you and/or any intermediary through which you offer your
brand or services. We act as your Komi Creator page provider, and your vendor
for activities such as hosting links to your sales channels, facilitating in-Komi
purchases directly from you and/or your partners, or helping manage Fans’
experience of your Komi Creator page.
2.3 We offer various “Komi Services” which may include functionality to build your
Profile; fan monetization functionalities for your Creator Services; brand affiliation
services; and any other services as we may introduce from time to time, subject
to any specific supplementary or amended terms that may apply to those Komi
Services.
3. YOUR KOMI CREATOR ACCOUNT
3.1 Before you can begin to make your Creator Services available through Komi, you
will first need to create a Komi Creator account. To be able to create a Komi
Creator account, you must:
3.1.1 be at least 16 years old;
3.1.2 if requested by us, provide information about the type of Creator
Services you intend to offer to Fans through Komi;
3.1.3 provide us with any other accurate information that we might
reasonably request in writing from you, including during the Komi
Creator account setup process, so that we can understand your skills
and experience and check that we think the Komi Creator community
is the right place for you and your Creator Services.
3.2 We will need you to select an account password and other security settings, to
help us keep your Komi Creator account safe. You must not share your Komi
Creator account details with others. You are responsible for control of your Komi
Creator account, such as keeping your password and account details safe and
secure, and making sure that the Creator Services you make available to Fans are
what you intend and are appropriate for Komi. You are also responsible for all
activities occurring under your Komi Creator account, and the acts or omissions of
any person you have permitted or authorized to operate your Komi Creator
account.
3.3 When you register for your Komi Creator account, you will be assigned your
Profile web address. We reserve the right to amend your Profile web address at
any time, at our sole discretion.
4. YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH KOMI FANS
4.1 All your interactions and transactions with Komi Fans are between you and each
Fan on the terms you choose to implement between you and the relevant Fan,
including any licenses to the intellectual property in any of the Creator Services.
You are therefore responsible for complying with any obligations to which you are
subject under applicable laws and regulations in respect of such terms, including
in relation to consumer protection, advertising, commercial communications, and
Data Protection Laws (as defined in Schedule 1). To the extent you choose to use
Komi Services which result in us processing personal data of Fans on your behalf
and on your instruction, then the Data Protection Terms in Schedule 1 shall apply
to such processing.
4.2 Whilst we may facilitate your offering of your Creator Services to Fans, and may
carry out certain limited functions accordingly (such as acting as a processor of
personal data, and host of your content), we are not a party to any agreement
between you and the Fan.
4.3 We are not responsible for, and (to the fullest extent permissible under law) we
disclaim and exclude, any and all liability (howsoever arising), that you or any Fan
may incur or suffer from the interactions, transactions and/or purchases made
under, or further to, your agreement with Fans in connection with Creator
Services offered or linked to on Komi.
4.4 You acknowledge that Komi may also have an independent relationship with Fans
and that such relationship is not affected or governed by the provisions of these
Creator Terms.
5. MONETISATION OF YOUR PROFILE: HOW PURCHASES THROUGH KOMI
WORK
5.1 Komi enables you to monetize your Profile through the Komi Services, which may
include fan monetization functionalities and/or brand affiliation services.
5.2 Subject to any new or substitute functionality that we may introduce from time to
time, when a Fan purchases Creator Services from you using:
5.2.1 Third Party Links: we will host the third-party link on your Profile, and
when a Fan clicks the relevant link, they will leave the Komi
environment to make the purchase. Komi will not have control or
responsibility over the Fan’s experience once they leave the Komi
environment – including for the ultimate purchase that is made,
payment processing, or order fulfilment.
5.2.2 Komi Services: we will act as a vendor to host a pop-up window
through which Fans can input purchase information and complete the
checkout process for your Creator Services without leaving your
Profile. The purchase is between you and the Fan. Unless otherwise
agreed, we will not be responsible for the ultimate purchase that is
made, payment processing, or order fulfilment.
5.3 You acknowledge and agree that:
5.3.1 you and/or any third-party platforms or tools you choose to link to or
connect to the Komi Services, have ultimate responsibility for
handling, managing and concluding Fans’ purchases of your Creator
Services and that we have no control over, or responsibility for, a
Fan’s experience in this regard;
5.3.2 refunds, chargebacks, fees and payment to or by you of associated
monies are all the responsibility of you and/or the third-party
monetization channels, the platforms or tools you choose to link to or
connect to the Komi Services, and are subject to your agreement with
such third-party. However, in case of any breach of these Creator
Terms, applicable laws, or Komi policies, Komi may require you to
make refunds of the affected Creator Services; and
5.3.3 provision of certain Komi Services may be dependent on integration
with third parties and, to the extent you wish to make use of such
Komi Services, you may be required to integrate (or authorize the
integration of) your Profile with your account (or similar) with such
third parties, or otherwise engage with such third parties (including by
agreeing to their applicable terms of service). If you do not integrate
and engage with such third parties, we may not be able to provide
such Komi Services to you.
5.4 You are responsible for your own tax and tax reporting (including without
limitation national insurance or social security payments, income tax, corporation
tax, VAT, sales taxes, or similar or equivalent in every relevant jurisdiction),
including in respect of income you receive from transactions with and purchases
by Fans as described in these Creator Terms.
6. WHAT YOU PAY TO US
6.1 The fees charged by us depend on your use of the relevant Komi Services, which you
can select via your Komi Creator account, and may include: monthly subscription fees,
transaction fees, fees for particular Komi Services and any other fees that we may
charge for these or other Komi Services from time to time, subject to your acceptance
of such fees within your Komi Creator account or as otherwise agreed between us and
you, together, the “Komi Fees.
6.2 The Komi Fees may vary based on commercial factors, such as your location or
national currency. The Komi Fees, together with applicable payment terms, will be
clearly shown before you make use of the associated Komi functionality. We
reserve the right to amend or update the Komi Fees from time to time.
6.3 You remain fully responsible for the payment in full to us of all applicable Komi
Fees incurred through your Komi Creator account. In addition to any other rights
or remedies we may have, if you fail to ensure our receipt of the applicable Komi
Fees when due in accordance with these Creator Terms and any payment terms
set out in your Komi Creator account:
6.3.1 interest shall accrue on such due amounts at an annual rate equal to
8% over the then current base rate of the Bank of England at the date
the relevant amount became due, commencing on the due date and
continuing until fully paid (whether before or after any judgment); and
6.3.2 we may immediately suspend, pause, or cancel the provision of any
Komi Services, or terminate your account, until the outstanding
payments are made in full.

events that have taken place through your account to be able to
associate cash flows between accounts and Fans for reporting
purposes;
19.1.5 you will have no right to access any information linked to your Komi
account; and
19.1.6 you will immediately pay to us any outstanding Komi Fees.
20. RESERVING OUR RIGHTS
We, and our licensors, are the owners of all rights in Komi, including without
limitation intellectual property rights. Except for licenses expressly granted to you
under these Creator Terms, no other rights or licenses are granted and all of our
and our licensors’ other rights are reserved.
21. YOUR EQUIPMENT, PRODUCTION, MUSIC AND MOVIE LICENSING
21.1 You are responsible for your own devices, equipment, production of assets and
content and Creator Services, overheads, development costs, hardware costs,
internet connection costs, costs of third parties whose tools you link to, or
integrate, using Third Party Links or Komi Services, and other costs regarding any
Creator Services you provide as part of being able to fulfil your obligations and
exercise your rights hereunder.
21.2 In no event shall we be responsible for paying royalties to you or any third-party
or collection society regarding third-party intellectual property rights in any
Creator Services you choose to input into Komi, including without limitation music
or movie clips you feature in your Creator Services. Clearance and licensing
arrangements for music or movie clips utilized in any and all Creator Services,
content, assets and materials you provide to us or make available through Komi is
solely your responsibility. You will indemnify us against all claims and from all
costs, liabilities, and expenses we incur from your breach of the foregoing.
22. YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH KOMI FANS
In all of your interactions with Komi Fans you must comply with these Creator
Terms. Fans are independent third parties and to the maximum extent
permissible by law, we are not responsible for Fans’ behaviour or interactions
with you or with your Creator Services.
23. KOMI CREATOR ADDENDUM
We appreciate that what you do may be unique and we may need to agree some
further, more tailored, terms between us. For those purposes, we may agree a
separate Komi Creator Addendum with you in writing (including by email), to set
out any special terms that are appropriate. To the extent of any conflict or
ambiguity between these Creator Terms and the Komi Creator Addendum, the
Komi Creator Addendum prevails. Any reference to the Creator Terms shall mean
both these Creator Terms and any applicable Creator Addendum.
24. CHANGES TO THE KOMI CREATOR TERMS
24.1 These Creator Terms may be updated from time to time. In such cases, we will
provide 15 days’ prior notice of any proposed changes by email or other durable
medium (the “Notice Period”) (using the email address you provided to us with
when registering with Komi), unless:
24.1.1 you and we agree a longer notice period in order for you to make
technical or commercial adaptations to comply with the changes;
24.1.2 we are subject to a legal or regulatory obligation which requires us to
change these Creator Terms in a manner which does not allow us to
respect the Notice Period (and if we are permitted by law to notify of
you such reasons, we will do so); or
24.1.3 we must change these Creator Terms to address an unforeseen and
imminent danger related to defending us, Komi, our Fans or our
Creator from fraud, malware, spam, data breaches or other
cybersecurity risks (and if we are permitted by law to notify of you
such reasons, we will do so).
24.2 Following notification of any proposed changes, if you are not happy with the
changes, you may terminate your Creator account and your agreement (i.e.
these Creator Terms) with us either by using settings within Komi or by
contacting us.
24.3 We will not impose retroactive changes to these Creator Terms, except when they
are required to respect a legal or regulatory obligation or when the retroactive
changes are beneficial to you (and if we are permitted by law to notify you of
such reasons, we will do so).
25. GENERAL
25.1 These Creator Terms are the entire agreement between you and us in respect of
your use of Komi. Any representations not set out in these Creator Terms are
superseded and replaced by these Creator Terms.
25.2 Even if we delay in enforcing our rights, including under these Creator Terms, we
still have the right to do so later. Failure to enforce any particular rights or
obligations under these Creator Terms does not prejudice our ability to enforce
any other rights or obligations under these Creator Terms.
25.3 Our remedies set out in these Creator Terms, including without limitation
regarding suspending or terminating your Komi Creator account, are cumulative
and do not limit any other rights and remedies available to us under these
Creator Terms or otherwise at law.
25.4 We have the right to subcontract, sublicense, assign, novate or otherwise transfer
our rights and obligations (in whole or part) under these Creator Terms. For
example, without limitation, we may do so to a group company or if our business
is acquired or restructured.
25.5 You are not permitted to subcontract, sublicense, assign or otherwise transfer
your rights or obligations under these Creator Terms to a third-party, unless we
agree in writing.
25.6 Any requirement for “notice” or “written notice” under these Creator Terms may
be carried out by email.
25.7 You agree that the character of these Creator Terms is unique and of a special
value to us and that, if you breach the Creator Terms, damages alone may not be
a sufficient remedy and that we shall additionally have the rights (without bond
or security) to injunctive relief and any other remedies as may be available at law
or in equity.
25.8 Without prejudice to the express provisions of these Creator Terms, these Creator
Terms do not give any third-party any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third
Parties) Act 1999 (or otherwise) to derive any benefit from or enforce any part of
these Creator Terms.
25.9 In the event these Creator Terms or a part of them are held by any court or
tribunal of competent authority to be illegal or unenforceable, these Creator
Terms (or the relevant part of them) will be interpreted in such a way that the
rest of the terms are unaffected and such unenforceable terms shall be deemed
replaced by terms which are amended to the minimum extent possible so as to be
legal and enforceable and reflect the parties’ intentions with full force and effect.
25.10 These Creator Terms will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of England.
25.11 If you wish to raise a dispute about these Creator Terms or arising in connection
with them, please contact us first to discuss it. You and we hereby submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England to settle disputes or claims arising
from or in connection with these Creator Terms, including non-contractual claims.
