Terms of Service

Overview

These Terms of Service explain the rules for using Creaters. By creating an account, publishing a project, posting a role, applying to a role, uploading a Resume/CV, contacting support, or otherwise using Creaters, you agree to use the service responsibly and lawfully.

These terms are practical product terms for the current service and are not a substitute for advice from a qualified lawyer. If a separate written agreement with Creaters applies to you, that agreement may control where it conflicts with these terms.

Platform Purpose

Creaters is a project discovery, collaborator-introduction, role listing, and application workflow platform. It helps founders present projects and roles, helps applicants submit context and documents, and helps both sides decide whether to continue a conversation.

Creaters is not a recruiter, employer, employment agency, investment adviser, legal adviser, broker, escrow agent, university, fund, diligence provider, or party to off-platform agreements between members.

Creaters does not verify every member, project, resume, repository, company, claim, funding status, legal status, compensation promise, equity promise, or collaboration outcome.

Eligibility and Account Responsibility

You must be able to use Creaters lawfully in your jurisdiction and old enough to take responsibility for project, application, and collaboration activity. If you use Creaters on behalf of an organization, you must have authority to do so.

You are responsible for keeping your account secure, maintaining access to your email or OAuth provider, choosing strong credentials where password auth is used, and promptly reporting suspected unauthorized access.

You are responsible for activity under your account unless Creaters determines that the activity resulted from a platform security issue outside your control.

Accuracy and No Misrepresentation

You must provide accurate account, profile, project, role, application, and contact information. Do not impersonate another person or organization, use misleading names, misrepresent your credentials, or claim authority you do not have.

Do not fabricate customers, users, revenue, funding, awards, press, partnerships, employment history, degrees, repositories, code ownership, traction, testimonials, or external validation. If a claim would matter to another member's decision, it must be truthful and supportable.

Do not use Creaters to make a project, role, application, or profile appear more established, verified, endorsed, funded, or connected than it is.

Acceptable Use

Use Creaters lawfully, professionally, and respectfully. Do not harass, threaten, discriminate, exploit, spam, phish, scrape, upload malware, attack the service, bypass security controls, share credentials, or collect private information without permission.

Do not use Creaters to publish illegal, deceptive, defamatory, hateful, sexually exploitative, violent, infringing, privacy-invasive, or otherwise harmful content. Do not upload files or links that contain malware, credential-stealing pages, or content you do not have the right to share.

Do not interfere with rate limits, authentication, authorization, storage restrictions, robots rules, monitoring, or abuse-prevention systems. Automated access is allowed only where Creaters has explicitly permitted it.

Your Content and Creaters' License

You keep ownership of content you submit to Creaters, including profile information, project descriptions, proof of effort, role details, application answers, Resume/CV documents, screenshots, support messages, and links, subject to any rights you grant to others outside Creaters.

You grant Creaters a limited license to host, store, reproduce, display, transmit, process, secure, back up, moderate, analyze, and otherwise use your content as needed to operate, improve, protect, and support the service.

For public content, this license includes displaying the content to visitors, search engines, and other members according to the visibility settings and public routes in the product. For private or authorized content, Creaters uses the content according to the applicable authorization and workflow rules.

Founder Responsibilities

Founders are responsible for project titles, descriptions, proof of effort, country or region, industry, tech stack, role descriptions, requirements, application questions, project links, repository links, and review actions.

Founders must not publish roles or projects that mislead applicants about compensation, equity, employment status, working conditions, confidentiality expectations, technical ownership, decision timelines, or the nature of the opportunity.

If a founder asks applicants to complete work, share confidential information, join a repository, sign an agreement, or continue off platform, the founder is responsible for using appropriate written terms and complying with applicable law.

Applicant Responsibilities

Applicants are responsible for the accuracy of their profiles, applications, Resume/CV documents, contact details, answers, portfolio links, GitHub links, and off-platform communications.

Applicants should apply only to roles where they are prepared to share relevant context and communicate professionally. Do not upload documents that include information you are not allowed to share.

Submitting an application does not create employment, contractor status, equity rights, compensation rights, confidentiality protection, or any other legal relationship with a founder unless the parties separately agree in writing.

Founder and Applicant Interactions

Creaters can help introduce founders and applicants, but members decide whether to continue conversations, accept applications, exchange contact information, collaborate, hire, contract, invest, or enter legal agreements.

Off-platform calls, interviews, trial tasks, payments, equity discussions, employment offers, contractor arrangements, NDAs, founder agreements, intellectual-property assignments, and disputes are between the members involved.

Members should independently evaluate fit, credentials, project viability, compensation, equity, intellectual property, confidentiality, immigration, tax, and legal implications before relying on another member's statements.

Privacy and Visibility Controls

Creaters provides public, private, and authorized visibility controls for certain profile fields, contact details, project links, repository links, projects, roles, and application surfaces. You are responsible for choosing settings that match what you intend to share.

Visibility controls reduce exposure inside Creaters, but they do not control screenshots, downloads, copied text, off-platform forwarding, or information another user has already seen outside Creaters.

Creaters may restrict access to private or authorized information through server-side rules, signed URLs, and database policies. Attempting to bypass those rules is prohibited.

Documents, Files, and Links

Resume/CV documents, contact screenshots, project links, repository links, and other submitted materials must be lawful, accurate, safe, and within the file and content limits Creaters sets.

Creaters may reject, remove, disable, or restrict files and links that are too large, unsafe, unsupported, misleading, infringing, privacy-invasive, or otherwise risky. Creaters may also retain certain records in admin-only form when needed for security, disputes, abuse investigation, audit trails, or legal compliance.

No Outcome Guarantees

Creaters does not guarantee collaborators, applicants, co-founders, employees, contractors, funding, investment, customers, revenue, traction, hiring outcomes, employment, equity, compensation, interviews, diligence results, repository access, or project success.

Creaters does not guarantee that content is complete, accurate, current, suitable, lawful, or safe. Members should verify information independently before making decisions.

Search results, card ranking, New/Viewed indicators, role status, public pages, resources, and notification timing are product features, not promises that a project or applicant is endorsed or prioritized by Creaters.

Moderation, Suspension, and Removal

Creaters may review, hide, remove, restrict, disable, preserve, or refuse accounts, projects, roles, applications, files, contact submissions, links, public profiles, or other records when needed for security, abuse prevention, legal compliance, support, user safety, platform quality, or dispute investigation.

Creaters may rate-limit actions, block automated traffic, require profile completion, restrict project visibility, disable active roles on private projects, revoke access to files, or suspend accounts that create risk.

Creaters is not required to host or restore content that violates these terms, creates operational risk, exposes private data, or may harm other members.

Service Availability and Changes

Creaters may change, pause, limit, discontinue, rename, redesign, or remove features as the product evolves. Public-launch availability, routes, workflows, eligibility rules, limits, providers, and pricing may change with notice where practical.

The service may be unavailable because of maintenance, incidents, provider outages, deployments, migrations, abuse controls, or circumstances outside Creaters' control. Creaters may use maintenance mode or temporary restrictions when needed.

Disclaimers

Creaters is provided on an as-is and as-available basis to the extent permitted by law. Creaters disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted operation, error-free operation, and accuracy where legally permitted.

Resources, templates, articles, platform copy, and support responses are general information only. They are not legal, financial, tax, investment, employment, immigration, security, or professional advice.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Creaters is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, lost-profit, lost-opportunity, lost-data, business-interruption, reputational, or off-platform collaboration losses arising from use of the service.

Creaters is not responsible for member-to-member disputes, off-platform agreements, unpaid work, equity disagreements, hiring decisions, founder disputes, applicant conduct, external links, third-party provider outages, or information a member chooses to share outside Creaters.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations. In those places, the limitation applies only to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Leaving or Terminating Accounts

You may stop using Creaters at any time. Account deletion is handled through the deletion workflow and may include a 7-day grace period, anonymization, public project visibility changes, and retained admin-only records where necessary.

Creaters may suspend or terminate access when an account violates these terms, creates security or legal risk, or interferes with the service or other members.

Changes to These Terms

Creaters may update these terms as the service, providers, workflows, legal requirements, or risk model changes. The updated date will change when the terms are materially revised.

Continued use of Creaters after updated terms become effective means you accept the updated terms, unless applicable law requires a different process.
