Babylon

This Creator Agreement & Payout Policy ("Agreement") forms a part of our Terms of Service and governs the relationship between Babylon and its creators ("Idols"). By registering as an Idol on our platform, you agree to these terms.

1. Eligibility and Creator Responsibilities

You must be at least 18 years of age to be an Idol.
You are solely responsible for all content you post on your Babylon profile and for your interactions with Admirers on any third-party communication platforms.
You agree to comply with all our policies, including our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.

2. Earnings, Fees, and Payments

2.1. No Platform Fees From Idols:

You receive 100% of the earnings from your admirers.

2.2. Gross Earnings:

"Gross earnings" is the amount of money received by you from your earnings from an Admirer for a payment to your profile.

2.3. Mandatory Deductions:

While Babylon does not take a commission from Idols, certain unavoidable costs are added to your Gross Price to calculate amount paid by an admirer. These include:

Payment Processing Fees: Standard fees charged by our third-party payment processor, Stripe, for securely processing each transaction. Dynamic transaction fee depending on the amount of money charged.
Taxes: Any applicable transaction taxes, such as VAT or sales tax, that Babylon is legally obligated to collect and remit based on the Admirer's location.
Other Direct Transaction Costs: Fees associated with currency conversions, chargebacks (if a user disputes a charge), and refunds.

2.4. Your Net Earnings:

Your "Net Earnings" are equal to the gross earnings. This is the final amount that will be added to your payable balance.

3. Payouts

3.1. Payout Account:

To receive payouts, you must connect a valid Stripe account in your Idol dashboard. You are responsible for keeping your Stripe account information accurate and up-to-date. Babylon is not liable for any lost payments due to incorrect or outdated information provided by you.

3.2. Payout Schedule:

Payouts of your available balance are processed on a monthly basis or the one you set in Stripe.

4. Taxes and Independent Contractor Status

4.1. Independent Contractor:

Your relationship with Babylon is that of an independent contractor. You are not an employee, partner, or agent of Babylon.

4.2. Tax Responsibility:

You are solely and fully responsible for reporting your income and paying all applicable taxes (including income tax, VAT, social security contributions, etc.) on the earnings you receive through Babylon, in accordance with the laws of your jurisdiction.

4.3. Tax Documentation:

Babylon will not withhold any taxes from your payouts. We will provide you with a summary of your earnings as required by law. You may be required to submit necessary tax forms (e.g., W-8BEN/W-9) through our payment processor to receive payouts.

5. Account Termination and Forfeiture

If your account is terminated for a violation of our Terms of Service or other policies, Babylon reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to forfeit any outstanding or pending earnings in your account.

6. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Agreement from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes, and your continued use of the platform as an Idol after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.
