1. Creator Eligibility & Verification
To maintain advertising integrity and regulatory compliance in Nigeria, all creators on Adniverse must satisfy and maintain the following criteria:
- Age Floor (18+): You must be at least 18 years of age. We store your verified date of birth to confirm you're 18+ and to match campaigns by age band.
- Identity & KYC: You must complete individual KYC verification. We verify your BVN or NIN with our licensed verification partner (Monnify). We keep the partner's response in encrypted form and a one-way keyed fingerprint of your ID number so one identity can't open multiple accounts. Staff can't read your ID number in our systems.
- Bank Payout Verification: You must provide a Nigerian commercial bank account registered in your own legal name that exactly matches your KYC verification record. Third-party accounts are strictly rejected.
- Connected Platform Accounts: You must connect your public TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube accounts via official OAuth authentication. Accounts must meet the minimum followers, account age, views target and time window shown on each campaign.
2. Content-Only Compensation Principle
Adniverse pays for high-quality, authentic content and campaign brief execution—never for engagement.
You are paid for creating and publishing original video content that fulfills the brand’s creative deliverables, includes required commercial disclosures, features the designated brand tag and hashtags, and achieves the initial views floor.
No compensation is tied to, dependent on, or increased by likes, shares, comments, saves, or follows. Purchasing engagement, using engagement pods, or deploying automated bots constitutes grounds for review and potential account suspension.
3. Performance Milestones & Durability Window
To earn and withdraw funds for a campaign submission, the following timeline applies:
- Claim & Publication: Once you claim a campaign slot, you must produce and publish your video after the claim timestamp. The post must remain strictly public on your connected handle.
- Initial Verification & Views Floor: Automated verification scans confirm disclosure (#ad or platform paid partnership tag), brand tag, and hashtags. Your post must reach the minimum followers, account age, views target and time window shown on each campaign.
- Durability Window: Following initial verification, your post must remain live, unedited, and publicly accessible for the entire campaign durability window specified on each campaign. If a post is deleted, made private or edited during the durability window, we'll warn you first. Repeated or serious breaches can lead to loss of the held payment or suspension. A person reviews every such decision and you can appeal.
- Available Settlement: Upon completion of the durability window without adverse flags, held funds transfer to your available balance and are eligible for weekly disbursement.
4. Independent Contractor Status & Taxes
You engage with Adniverse as an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, joint venture, or partnership relationship between you and Adniverse or between you and any brand. You are solely responsible for declaring your earnings and paying any applicable local, state, or federal personal income taxes.
5. Human Review of Adverse Decisions
Adniverse values fairness and transparent accountability. No claim rejection, payment forfeiture, penalty, or account suspension is enacted solely by automated algorithms. All adverse decisions must be reviewed and signed off by a human compliance officer, with a clear plain-language explanation and audit record provided to you.
