These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Contractor" or "User") and Interlock Studios LLC, d/b/a Payday Social ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account, accessing, or using our platform ("Platform") at Payday.social, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform.
By signing up on our Platform and participating in campaigns, you agree to provide promotional services ("Services") as an independent contractor for the specific brand ("Brand") running that campaign. You are not an employee, contractor, partner, or agent of PayDay.social or Interlock Studios LLC in relation to the content you produce. Each campaign's specific terms, deliverables, and compensation ("Campaign Terms") are provided on the Platform and form an integral part of these Terms. PayDay.social acts solely as an intermediary that connects you to the Brand, facilitates payments, and enforces campaign terms.
Payments will be made through one of the following methods, as specified on the Platform:
It is your responsibility to ensure that accurate payment information is provided in your account settings to avoid delays.
As an independent contractor, you are solely responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes on income earned through the Platform. The Company will not withhold taxes or make contributions for social security, unemployment insurance, or disability insurance on your behalf. If required, the Company will issue a Form 1099-MISC for annual earnings. In the event of legal fees or fines resulting from your non-compliance with FTC or other advertising regulations, you agree to bear these costs.
From time to time, the Company may offer a referral program that allows Users to earn rewards by referring new users to the Platform. Specific referral terms, payout amounts, and eligibility requirements will be outlined on the Platform or communicated directly.
The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the referral program at any time, with or without notice. Fraudulent referrals, self-referrals, misuse of the system, or failure by the referred user to use the correct referral code at the time of sign-up may result in forfeited rewards and/or account termination. Only referrals that properly use the assigned code at initial sign-up will be considered eligible.
If a Brand disputes the validity of reported metrics, the Company may withhold payment until the dispute is resolved. The Company is not liable for delayed or withheld payments resulting from Brand disputes.
You are an independent contractor and not an employee, agent, or representative of the Company or any Brand. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship. When participating in a campaign, you are contracting directly with the Brand for that specific campaign. PayDay.social serves solely as a facilitator, providing the infrastructure for campaign management and payment. PayDay.social is not a party to any content ownership, licensing, or contractual rights related to deliverables created for the Brand.
You are not authorized to make representations, commitments, or agreements on behalf of the Company or the Brands.
You are responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in performing the Services, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the Campaign Terms.
All social media content, accounts, and promotional materials created for campaigns are the property of the Brand. By joining a campaign, you agree to transfer all rights, title, and interest in any content, channels, or deliverables created as part of that campaign directly to the Brand. You are not partnering with or transferring rights to PayDay.social. Your agreement is with the Brand itself for the purpose of executing that campaign.
By participating in campaigns, you grant the Company and Brands a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, and distribute your submitted content for promotional purposes. You agree that all content created for Brands must comply with relevant advertising regulations, including proper use of trademarks, logos, and any associated content.

You agree that all content created by you must comply with relevant advertising laws, including FTC guidelines. The Company is not responsible for any legal issues, claims, or disputes arising from content created by Contractors.

You may not repurpose, reuse, or distribute any campaign-related content for other purposes, including self-promotion, without prior written approval from the Brand and the Company.
You agree not to disclose, publish, or use any confidential information shared with you during your use of the Platform, including campaign details, compensation rates, or proprietary tools, without explicit written consent.

Contractors acknowledge and agree that both the Company and the Brand reserve the right to pause, modify, or terminate any campaign at any time, for any reason, at their sole discretion including but not limited to performance concerns, budget changes, or strategic shifts. This may occur even if there is a remaining budget allocated to the campaign. In such cases, the Company is not obligated to continue issuing payments beyond the date of pause unless otherwise specified in writing.

You must clearly disclose all sponsored content as required by law or Campaign Terms. The Company shall not be held responsible for your failure to comply with any advertising regulations.
You agree not to engage directly with any Brands introduced to you through the Platform for campaigns, whether or not the engagement is activated through the Platform, for a period of 12 months after the Company ceases its relationship with you. This includes reaching out to or negotiating with any Brands on the Platform, regardless of whether any formal agreement is made through the Platform.
In the event that you violate this clause, you will be liable for all direct and indirect losses incurred by the Company, including any money earned from the direct engagement with the Brand, as well as any damages suffered by the Company as a result of your breach, which may include lost profits and reputational harm.
