Performer Agreement

Effective 26 October 2026 · All policies

Draft. This is a contractor agreement and must be reviewed by an attorney, particularly the classification, tax, and content-licence sections, before any performer is paid.

This Agreement is between you ("Performer") and [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] ("StripsLive"). It applies in addition to the Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. You accept it by completing performer verification.

1. You are an independent contractor

You are not an employee, agent, or partner of StripsLive. You choose when, whether, and how long you broadcast, what you do on your shows, your rates, your menu, and your schedule. You supply your own equipment and workspace. You are responsible for your own taxes, insurance, and compliance with the law where you are.

2. Verification and records

• Before broadcasting you must give your legal name and date of birth and complete government-ID and selfie verification through our provider. Before your first payout you must provide a tax form (W-9, or W-8BEN if outside the U.S.) and a mailing address.
• You confirm you are at least 18 and that every person who appears on your show is at least 18 and has completed the same verification before appearing.
• You consent to your verification records being kept as required by 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and by our payment processors, for as long as the law requires.

3. Earnings

• You earn a share of every token spent on you. The base share is 60%. Monthly gross above the thresholds shown on the Payouts page raises your share to 63% and 67% automatically.
• If you switch on Featured placement, your share on the tokens earned while it is on is reduced by 15 percentage points. You can turn it on or off at any time.
• Your share is calculated per transaction and credited instantly. The Payouts page shows every number.
• Founding creators. The first 100 performers to sign up are founding creators.
  • 75% for 12 months. A founding creator's share is 75% (instead of the 60% base) for 12 active months. The 12 months start at her first completed booking.
  • Stay active once a month. A calendar month (UTC) is active once she completes a booking or posts availability in it. Each active month uses one of the 12. A month with no activity pauses the rate: earnings that month are at the normal share and the month does not count toward the 12. Nothing is forfeited; the rate resumes with her next activity. Earnings before the month's first activity are at the normal share.
  • Featured placement reduces the founding share by the same 15 points as the base share while it is on.
• Bonus tokens. Viewers may receive free promotional bonus tokens (for example a deposit match or spend-back bonus). When a viewer spends bonus tokens on you, you earn your normal share on them exactly as if they had been purchased; StripsLive pays for this from its own share. Purchased tokens are always spent before bonus tokens, and your ledger notes any bonus portion. Earnings funded by bonus tokens are subject to section 5.

4. Payouts

• You may request a payout of your available balance from the Payouts page. Bonus tokens, escrowed amounts, and earnings inside the hold period are not payable.
• Earnings become available 10 days after they are earned, so that any payment reversal on the viewer's side can be resolved first.
• Reversed payments. If a viewer's token purchase is reversed or charged back, StripsLive deducts the earnings that the viewer's spending produced after that purchase, including earnings funded by bonus tokens and any referral or agency earnings paid from that spending. The spending attributed to the reversed purchase is limited to the tokens bought in it plus any bonus tokens it unlocked; if the viewer spent more than that after the purchase, each affected earning is reduced in the same proportion. Earnings from the viewer's spending before that purchase are not affected.
• Deductions are taken from your balance. If your balance is not enough, for example because those earnings were already paid out, the shortfall is an amount you owe StripsLive. It is repaid first from your next earnings, and you cannot request a payout until it is repaid in full. Each deduction and repayment appears in your history.
• Payouts are made weekly by [Paxum / bank transfer / USDC as offered] to the details on your account, subject to the minimum shown on the Payouts page. StripsLive pays the transfer fees.
• StripsLive issues a 1099-NEC to U.S. performers where required.

5. Fraud, abuse, and payout review

• Prohibited earnings. You must not, alone or together with anyone else, generate earnings through fraud or abuse. This includes: tokens spent on you from a viewer account that you own, control, or share; creating, using, or encouraging multiple viewer accounts; arranging with viewers, agencies, or other performers to tip, book, or buy from you in order to turn bonus tokens or promotions into earnings ("self-dealing" or "collusion"); earnings funded by stolen or unauthorized payments; and encouraging or arranging chargebacks ("chargeback abuse").
• Review and holds. StripsLive may review any earnings or payout request and may hold a payout, in whole or in part, for as long as reasonably necessary to complete that review.
• Withholding and reversal. If StripsLive reasonably determines that earnings came from fraud, abuse, self-dealing, collusion, unauthorized payments, or chargeback abuse, it may withhold those earnings, reverse them from your balance or deduct them from future earnings, refuse or cancel the related payout, and void any related bonus tokens. This applies equally to referral earnings and to agencies paid through the same payout queue, and is in addition to the deductions for reversed payments under section 4.
• Our discretion. Determinations under this section are made by StripsLive at its reasonable discretion, based on the information available to it, which may include account, payment, network, and payout-detail information. You may ask us to reconsider a determination by contacting hello@stripslive.com.
• Fraud or abuse under this section is also grounds for suspension or termination under section 11.

6. Shows and reliability

• Pay-as-you-go shows bill the viewer each started minute. You may end them at any time.
• Prepaid time blocks and booked dates are commitments. If you end one early or don't show, the platform refunds the viewer's unused time or deposit automatically from escrow and records a strike. A booked date's cancellation window is shown when you accept it.
• Five strikes in a rolling year pause your ability to go live until reviewed. Strikes for connection failures can be appealed.
• Breaks are allowed up to 10 minutes per hour on public shows and never during a paid show. Viewers are not billed during breaks.

7. Content rules

• You must follow the Community Guidelines at all times on camera and in chat.
• You must broadcast from a private location with no non-consenting or unverified person visible or audible.
• You must not solicit or accept payment for shows or content outside StripsLive, or direct viewers to do so.
• You must accurately describe anything you sell: menu items, deck cards, shop content, and custom requests.

8. Your content

You own everything you create. You grant StripsLive a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to transmit your live shows to viewers, to display your profile, thumbnails you choose to enable, and shop items you upload, and to use your display name and profile image to promote your room on the site. This licence ends when you delete the content or close your account, except for records we must keep. We never record your shows.

9. Privacy and safety

• Your legal name, address, and documents are never shown to viewers. Only your display name and username are public.
• You can ban any viewer from your room instantly and report anyone with the ⚑ button. Bans are final and not reviewed by us.
• If a viewer records or redistributes your show, tell us and we will help with takedowns under the DMCA Policy.

10. Fan clubs, bookings, commissions, and shop

These are your offers to viewers. You set the prices and terms within the platform's rules. Escrow for bookings and commissions is released to you on delivery under the Fair Play Promise; undelivered commissions are refunded to the viewer after 14 days.

11. Suspension and termination

Either party may end this Agreement at any time. You can close your account from your dashboard. If you close your account, your available balance is paid out on the next payout cycle if it is at least $20. A balance under $20 is not paid out. Before you close your account, we show you your balance and ask you to confirm. If you have a specific circumstance, you can contact hello@stripslive.com before closing and we will review it. We may suspend or terminate for violations of this Agreement or the Guidelines, for fraud, abuse, or chargeback abuse (section 5), or as required by a payment processor. Serious violations, including anyone under 18 appearing on your show, result in immediate termination and forfeiture of unpaid earnings, and are reported to the authorities.

12. Legal

This Agreement is governed by California law. [Arbitration and limitation-of-liability clauses: attorney to draft.] You indemnify StripsLive against claims arising from your content or your breach of this Agreement. We may update this Agreement with 14 days' notice on your dashboard; continuing to broadcast after that is acceptance.
