ShortBamboo
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms & Conditions apply to individuals, creators, brands, agencies, businesses and other parties interacting or working with ShortBamboo.
If a brand, agency, creator or business starts working with ShortBamboo, submits or approves a campaign, confirms a commercial engagement, or participates in a campaign, that party acknowledges that it has read and accepted these Terms & Conditions and the applicable Privacy Policy.
Continued participation in a campaign may be treated as acceptance of applicable policies, campaign terms, payment conditions, commercial requirements and agreed deliverables.
2. ShortBamboo Services
Depending on the engagement, ShortBamboo may provide services including:
- Creator discovery and research.
- Creator shortlisting.
- Brand-creator matching.
- Influencer campaign planning.
- Creator negotiations and commercial coordination.
- Campaign management and coordination.
- UGC and content collaborations.
- Campaign reporting and performance summaries.
The exact scope of work depends on the applicable proposal, quotation, campaign brief, invoice, agreement or written commercial communication.
3. Campaigns and Deliverables
Campaign deliverables may include reels, posts, stories, UGC assets, product integrations, photographs, videos or other content agreed for a specific campaign.
Deliverables, timelines, creator requirements, platforms, number of assets and revision requirements should be confirmed before the relevant campaign begins.
Changes requested after campaign confirmation may affect timelines, creator availability, production costs or commercials.
4. Creator Availability and Selection
Creator availability is subject to the creator's schedule, interest, commercial expectations and other circumstances.
A creator profile shared during discovery or shortlisting does not guarantee that the creator will ultimately participate in a campaign.
ShortBamboo may recommend creators based on available information, campaign fit, audience, content quality, engagement and other relevant factors.
5. Commercials and Payments
Campaign commercials, creator fees, agency fees, production charges and other applicable costs will be communicated through the relevant proposal, quotation, invoice, campaign agreement or written commercial communication.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment obligations remain applicable according to the agreed commercial terms.
Creator fees and third-party costs may be payable separately from ShortBamboo's service fees, depending on the campaign structure.
6. Late Payment & Additional Charges
If an agency, brand or other commercial partner fails to make an agreed payment by the applicable due date, the payment will be considered overdue from the next working day.
Even a delay of one working day may result in an additional late-payment charge where such charge has been specified in the applicable commercial terms, invoice, proposal or campaign agreement.
Where a late-payment charge applies, the amount or rate will be communicated in the relevant commercial document applicable to that engagement.
ShortBamboo may pause campaign coordination, creator communication, content delivery, production work or other services where outstanding payments remain unpaid.
Where creator payments or third-party costs depend on receiving payment from an agency or client, ShortBamboo will not be responsible for delays caused by that agency's or client's failure to make timely payment.
Any applicable late-payment charge is separate from outstanding campaign fees, creator fees or third-party costs unless expressly stated otherwise.
7. Content Usage Rights
Content usage rights depend on the commercial agreement for the relevant campaign.
A creator's content may not automatically include unlimited rights for advertising, paid media, whitelisting, website use, marketplace use, editing or long-term commercial exploitation.
Additional usage rights, if required, should be agreed separately and may involve additional charges.

This includes losses arising from third-party platform outages, creator cancellation, changes in platform algorithms, audience behaviour, campaign performance, delays caused by clients or creators, or circumstances outside ShortBamboo's reasonable control.
14. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by applicable law, a party may be responsible for losses, claims, liabilities or expenses arising from its own breach of these Terms, unlawful conduct, infringement of third-party rights or inaccurate information supplied by that party.
15. Suspension and Termination
ShortBamboo may suspend or terminate services where there is a material breach of applicable terms, non-payment, misuse of services, unlawful activity or circumstances that make continued performance commercially or operationally unreasonable.
Outstanding payment obligations and rights that by their nature should continue after termination will survive termination of the engagement.
