Creator Agreement

Last updated 11 October 2026

The short version

You sell your content on Teaselock. We host it, show it and sell access to it. Buyers pay us, we keep 12.5% of each sale, and you receive 87.5% (less any share you have agreed with your own agency). You must be verified, you may only upload content you own or have the rights to, and everyone who appears must be 18 or over at the time of filming, ID-verified and have given written consent. Nothing goes on sale until a person on our team has reviewed it and consent is on record for everyone shown. Break the rules and we can remove content, suspend your account and hold payouts.

1. About this agreement

This agreement is between you and CORE-FBM MANAGEMENT LTD, trading as Teaselock, a company registered in England and Wales, company number 17168590, registered office 82A James Carter Road, Mildenhall, IP28 7DE, United Kingdom ("Teaselock", "we", "us").

You sign this agreement electronically during sign-up by typing your full legal name and ticking the confirmation box. We record your typed name, the date and time, and your IP address as evidence of your signature. Your electronic signature has the same effect as a handwritten one.

This agreement applies in addition to the Terms of Service and the Acceptable Use and Content Policy. If they conflict on anything about selling content, this agreement wins.

2. Definitions

• Studio: your creator dashboard on Teaselock.
• Content: anything you upload, including videos, images, previews, titles, descriptions and tags.
• Item: a piece of Content offered for sale as a single purchase.
• Co-performer: anyone other than you who appears in Content.
• Agency: a management company or person you choose to connect to your account.

3. Who can be a creator

• You must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live if higher.
• You must pass government ID verification through our third-party provider, such as Veriff or Yoti, before you can upload anything.
• The name on your account, your ID and your payout bank account must all match.
• You must give us true, complete and up-to-date information, and tell us promptly if it changes.
• You must not have had a Teaselock account closed for breaking our rules.

4. Your content and the licence you give us

You keep ownership of your Content. You give Teaselock a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence, for as long as your Content is on Teaselock, to:

• host, store, copy, encode, transcode and back it up;
• display it, including previews, thumbnails, titles and descriptions, on the Sites;
• sell access to it and deliver it to buyers by streaming, and by download where you have turned downloads on;
• add a watermark or identifier unique to each buyer;
• review and moderate it, including with automated tools and third-party moderation providers;
• keep copies where we need them for legal, compliance, record-keeping or dispute purposes.

Each buyer receives a personal, non-transferable, non-commercial viewing licence as set out in the Terms of Service. Buyers keep access permanently unless the Item is removed for legal or compliance reasons. If you delete an Item, it stops being sold to new buyers, but people who have already bought it keep access unless the removal is for legal or compliance reasons.

5. Your promises (warranties)

Every time you upload Content, you promise that:

• you own the Content or have every right needed to sell it on Teaselock;
• it does not infringe anyone's copyright, trade mark, privacy or other rights;
• everyone who appears in it, including you, was at least 18 at the time it was filmed or photographed;
• everyone who appears in it has been ID-verified and has given written consent to (a) appearing in it, (b) its publication and distribution on Teaselock, and (c) its download, if you turn downloads on;
• no consent was obtained by pressure, deception or payment conditions that make it void, and no one shown has withdrawn consent;
• the Content was made lawfully, with everyone taking part freely;
• it complies with the Acceptable Use and Content Policy and with the law where it was made and where you are;
• titles, descriptions and previews accurately describe the Item;
• any AI-generated content is labelled as such and does not depict a real person.

6. Co-performers and consent

If anyone other than you appears, you must get their consent on record before the Item can go on sale. There are two ways:

1. Tag a verified creator. If your co-performer is a verified Teaselock creator, tag them on the upload. They must accept in their own account.
2. Upload a release. Upload a signed Co-performer Release together with the front and back of their government ID. Our staff review it.

Our automated checks count the people in each video. If more than one person appears, consent is required for each of them. Nothing goes on sale until every person shown has consent on record.

Anyone who appears in Content can ask for it to be removed through our Appeals Policy. The Content is taken down straight away while we check consent. You agree to cooperate fully with that process.

7. Record keeping

• You are the primary producer of the Content you upload. You must create and keep the age and identity records the law requires of you, including under 18 U.S.C. 2257 where it applies, and keep each co-performer's signed release and ID.
• You authorise us to collect and keep copies of the age, identity and consent records you or your co-performers provide through Teaselock. See the 2257 Compliance Statement.
• You must give us copies of any of these records promptly when we ask, for example to answer a complaint, a request from a payment provider or card network, or a lawful request from the authorities.
• If you cannot produce the records, we will remove the Content and may suspend your account.

8. Review before publishing

Every upload is checked automatically and then reviewed by a person before it is published. We may refuse, ask you to change, or remove any Content at our discretion, including where we reasonably believe it breaks this agreement, the law, the rules of our payment providers or card networks, or puts people at risk. Passing review is not our confirmation that your Content is lawful: that remains your responsibility.

9. Prohibited content

You must not upload anything that breaks the Acceptable Use and Content Policy. Uploading content that shows or suggests anyone under 18, or that was made without consent, will lead to immediate removal, permanent closure of your account, reports to the authorities and, where relevant, withholding of payouts.

10. Pricing and fees

• You set the price of each Item in your Studio, within any limits we show there.
• Buyers pay the price shown, with nothing added by Teaselock.
• For each sale, Teaselock keeps a fee of 12.5% of the price and you receive 87.5%.
• If you have connected an Agency and set a revenue share, the Agency's share is taken from your 87.5%. Teaselock's 12.5% does not change.
• We will tell you in advance if we change our fee. A change applies only to sales after it takes effect.

11. Payouts

• Buyers pay Teaselock through our merchant account. Teaselock then pays you for the Content you supplied, out of that account.
• Each sale is held for a hold period before it becomes available to pay out. The hold period is shown in your Studio. It protects against refunds and chargebacks.
• Payouts are made on the schedule shown in your Studio, once your available balance reaches the minimum payout shown in your Studio.
• Payouts are made by bank transfer to an account in your verified legal name. We do not pay third-party accounts.
• Your Studio shows each sale, the fee, any Agency share, holds, refunds and chargebacks.

12. Refunds, chargebacks and holds

• We refund buyers in the cases set out in our Refund and Cancellation Policy. If we refund a sale, your share of it is deducted from your balance.
• If a buyer files a chargeback, your share of that sale is held while it is open and deducted if the chargeback succeeds.
• We may withhold payouts, wholly or partly, while we investigate suspected fraud, unusual chargeback levels, a consent or legal complaint, or a breach of this agreement.
• If your balance goes negative, we may recover the amount from future sales.
• If we find that sales came from fraud or a breach of this agreement, we may cancel the earnings from those sales.

13. Agencies

• You may connect an Agency to your account, set its revenue share and choose what it can do.
• Every action an Agency takes is logged and visible to you in your Studio.
• You can remove an Agency at any time. Its access ends straight away.
• You remain responsible for everything done on your account, including by your Agency. Any agreement between you and your Agency is between you and them.

14. Taxes

You are responsible for your own taxes, including income tax, national insurance or social security, and any VAT or sales tax due on your earnings. We may ask you for tax information and may report payouts to tax authorities where the law requires.

15. Leaks and protection

We mark every copy delivered with an identifier unique to the buyer so that leaks can be traced. If we identify a buyer who has shared or redistributed your Content, we withdraw their access and block them. You agree we may use this information to protect your Content and may share it with you for that purpose.

16. Suspension and termination

• You can close your account at any time from your Studio or by emailing support@teaselock.com.
• We may make Content unavailable, suspend your account or end this agreement if you break it, if we are required to by law, a regulator, a payment provider or a card network, or if we reasonably believe your account is a risk to buyers, co-performers or Teaselock.
• Where we can, we will tell you why. You can appeal under our Appeals Policy.
• When your account closes, we pay out your remaining balance after the hold period, less refunds, chargebacks and any amounts we are entitled to withhold.
• Sections 4 (for buyers' existing access), 5, 7, 12, 14, 17, 18 and 19 continue after this agreement ends.

17. Indemnity

You will compensate Teaselock for any claims, losses, fines, penalties and reasonable costs (including legal costs) we suffer because your Content or your conduct broke this agreement or the law, including any claim that someone shown did not consent, was under 18, or that your Content infringes someone's rights.

18. Liability

• Nothing in this agreement limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything the law does not allow to be limited.
• We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue or opportunity.
• Our total liability to you under this agreement in any 12-month period is limited to the fees Teaselock earned from your sales in that period.

19. Your data

We collect and use your identity, verification, payout, tax, content and consent data as described in our Privacy Policy. Identity and consent records are kept for as long as the Content is available and for at least 7 years after.

20. Changes

We may update this agreement. We will tell you in your Studio and by email before a significant change takes effect. If you do not agree, you can close your account before the change applies. Continuing to sell after the change takes effect means you accept it.

21. General

• You are an independent business. Nothing in this agreement makes you our employee, agent or partner.
• If any part of this agreement is unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
• This agreement is governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

22. Signature

By typing your full legal name and ticking the box in the sign-up flow, you confirm that you have read and agree to this agreement, and that everything you have told us is true. We record:

• Full legal name (typed)
• Confirmation checkbox
• Date and time of signature
• IP address
