Legal
Creator Earnings Terms
These terms apply if you are a creator and the earnings programme is switched on for your account. They add to our Terms of Use and Payments page.
1. How earnings work
- You may earn a set amount for each real, unique visitor who opens your video page on Your Comments. The current rate, currency and minimum withdrawal are shown in your Wallet.
- The earnings programme is optional for us and may be switched off. While it is off, visitors are still counted but no money is credited.
- We may change the rate, currency, limits or minimum withdrawal for future visits. We will show the change in your Wallet before it applies. Amounts already credited do not change, unless section 3 applies.
- At the moment earnings are counted in Indian rupees (INR).
2. Which visits count
To keep the programme fair, a visit only earns money if our system judges it to be a genuine viewer. Visits do not count, or may be limited, when they:
- come from you, your own devices or network;
- repeat from the same device or network within a short time, or exceed the daily and hourly limits per network;
- come from bots, scripts, automated tools, click farms, or paid or incentivised traffic (for example "visit my link and I will pay you");
- look suspicious in other ways that our fraud checks detect.
Our checks are automatic. We do not share all of their details, so they cannot be worked around.
3. Holds, reversals and fraud
We may put your wallet on hold, refuse a withdrawal, or remove earnings that we reasonably believe came from invalid traffic or a breach of our Terms or Community Guidelines. We will tell you why when it is safe to do so, and you can ask a person to review the decision by emailing [Contact email].
4. Withdrawals and payouts
- You can ask for a withdrawal from your Wallet once your balance reaches the minimum shown there.
- Choose a payout method (such as UPI, bank transfer or PayPal) and enter correct details. We are not responsible for money sent to wrong details you gave us, but we will help try to recover it.
- Payouts are checked and sent by hand. We aim to pay approved requests within 10 working days. You can see the status in your Wallet.
- Your provider may charge fees or convert currency. Those charges are yours.
- We may ask you to confirm your identity or tax details before paying.
5. Taxes
Earnings may be taxable income where you live. You are responsible for declaring them and paying any tax. If the law requires us to deduct tax or collect information (for example in New Zealand or India), we will do so and tell you.
6. Our relationship
You take part as an independent creator. Nothing in these terms makes you our employee, contractor, partner or agent, and earnings are not wages.
7. When earnings end
If we end the earnings programme, we will give at least 30 days' notice where we can, and you may withdraw any valid balance above the minimum. If your account is closed for breaking the rules, earnings linked to that breach may be cancelled. If you close your own account, please withdraw your balance first. A valid balance below the minimum that is not withdrawn within 12 months of the account closing may be cancelled, to the extent the law allows.
