Terms of Service.

01Who we are

Orpheus Network ("Orpheus", "we", "us") is a music promotion agency. We connect artists and labels with a network of TikTok creators who make videos using their music. The service is run by Orpheus Network Oy (in English Orpheus Network Ltd), business ID 3666956-6, Helsinki, Finland.

By sending a campaign request, joining our Discord server, linking a TikTok account or submitting a video, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy.

02Words we use

• Client: an artist, label or rights holder who pays for a campaign.
• Creator: a member of our Discord server who links a TikTok account and makes videos for campaigns.
• Open brief (RPM campaign): a campaign posted in its own channel on our Discord. Creators who join earn per 1,000 views, paid from a fixed budget (the "pot").
• Closed brief: a private offer sent to a chosen creator for one video at a fixed price.
• Sound: the official TikTok sound or audio file of the Client's song.

Requests and plans

You can request a campaign through the form on our website or by email. We review every request and usually reply with a campaign proposal within 24 hours. We may decline any request, for example if the song breaks TikTok's rules or ours.

Budget and payment

• There is no fixed minimum budget. We may decline a budget that is too small to run a real campaign.
• On top of the budget, we charge a service fee. The fee is shown in your campaign proposal, so you know the total before you pay.
• The budget and the fee are paid up front, before the campaign goes live.
• The budget is the most that can be paid to creators. Creator payouts never go above it.
• The whole budget is spent on your campaign. If a campaign is slower than planned, we may raise the creator rate, extend the end date or send extra closed briefs to trusted creators, so the budget turns into more videos for your song.
• Because of this, budget is not refunded once the campaign has gone live. If we decline your request or can't start the campaign after you've paid, you get the full budget and fee back.

Your rights to the music

You confirm that you own or control the rights to the song, or are authorised by whoever does. You allow Orpheus and our creators to use the song in short-form videos on TikTok for the campaign. Videos posted during a campaign may stay online afterwards. You are responsible for any claim that you didn't have the rights to give this permission.

Results and reports

Every video is reviewed by a person before it counts, and videos that break the rules are removed. We send you reports with the videos and their views. We do not guarantee a number of views, a chart position or that a song goes viral: results depend on TikTok and its audience.

04Creators

Who can join

• You need a Discord account and at least one TikTok account that follows TikTok's own rules.
• To be paid you need a PayPal account in your own name. PayPal only allows this from age 18 in most countries.
• You can link up to 5 TikTok accounts. Each one is verified with a code in its bio, and you may only link accounts you own and control.

Briefs and submissions

• Open briefs: join the campaign, post your video, then submit the link in Discord before the campaign closes.
• Closed briefs: accept the offer before it expires and submit your video by the due date.
• You may only submit videos posted from your own linked accounts. Each video can be submitted once.
• Every submission is reviewed. If it's rejected, you get a short reason.

Independent creators

You work as an independent creator, not as an employee of Orpheus. You decide how and when to make your videos within each brief. You are responsible for your own taxes on what you earn.

05Video rules

Every video must:

• use the official sound the way the brief asks;
• follow the brief and be a real, original edit (no low-effort or reposted videos);
• get real views only: no bought views, bots, view farms or any trick that inflates numbers;
• stay public and online for at least 30 days after the campaign has paid out;
• follow TikTok's Community Guidelines and the law, including the rights of anyone shown in your footage.

You are responsible for the footage you use in your edits. We may reject or remove any video that we believe breaks these rules.

06Creator payouts

Open briefs (RPM)

• You earn the campaign's rate for every 1,000 views on approved videos, within any minimum views and maximum per video the brief sets.
• Views count until the pot is used up or the end date passes. After that, views no longer earn.
• While a campaign runs, we may raise its rate, add money to its pot or move its end date later, and we post it in the campaign's channel. A higher rate counts for all views on approved videos, including earlier ones. We never lower a rate or move an end date earlier.
• Views are checked regularly, so the last check can land slightly over the pot. If total earnings go over the pot, every creator's share is reduced by the same percentage so the total equals the pot.
• Payouts are worked out after the campaign ends and every video has been checked.

Closed briefs

You earn the fixed price in the offer. It is sent when your video is approved.

How you're paid

• All payouts are in US dollars, sent to the PayPal email saved in your account. PayPal can take up to 24 hours to deliver.
• Payouts are sent in full. Any fees PayPal charges on your side, such as receiving or currency conversion fees, are paid by you, so the amount that reaches you can be slightly lower.
• There is no minimum payout.
• If you haven't added a PayPal email, your payout waits until you do.
• Each payment is recorded, and you can see your balance in Discord. If we make a mistake, we may correct it, and we tell you when we do.

07Removals & strikes

Before payouts are worked out, we check every approved video again. A video that breaks the rules (for example it was deleted, made private, uses the wrong sound or has fake views) can be removed. A removed video earns nothing, and its share goes back into the campaign's pot.

• Each removed video is a strike. At 3 strikes, you can't submit new videos until our team reviews your account.
• If we find fraud, such as fake views or someone else's video, we may withhold payment for those videos, take back money already paid for them, and remove you from the network.
• If you think a decision is wrong, open a ticket in #support on our Discord.

08Your content

Creators keep ownership of their videos. By submitting a video, you allow Orpheus and the campaign's Client to view and link to it, read its public statistics, and show it with its statistics in campaign reports and in Orpheus marketing.

Clients keep ownership of their music. Orpheus may name the Client and the song in reports and as an example of our work, unless the Client asks us not to.

09Liability

• We provide the service "as is". TikTok, Discord and PayPal are run by other companies, and we are not responsible for their outages, changes or decisions (for example a video taken down by TikTok).
• We are not liable for indirect losses such as lost profits or lost opportunities.
• For Clients, our total liability for a campaign is limited to the budget paid for that campaign. For Creators, it is limited to the payouts owed to you.
• Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that can't be limited.

10Ending & changes

You can stop using Orpheus at any time. We may suspend or remove anyone who breaks these terms or the rules of our Discord server. Money earned for approved videos that followed the rules is still paid.

We may update these terms. If we make important changes, we announce them on our Discord or by email before they apply. Using the service after that means you accept the new terms.

11Law & contact

These terms are governed by the laws of Finland. We'll try to solve any disagreement together first. If that doesn't work, disputes go to the courts of Finland, unless the law gives you the right to use a court where you live.
