By using Scrile Connect you agree to these terms and to the other we post on our website. Please read them carefully and let us know if you have any questions. For information about our data practices, please see our Privacy Policy, including our Cookies Policy. We can collect and use your information in accordance with those policies.

When you create an account you must provide us with accurate information.

To create an account you must be at least 18 years old. To join a creator's membership as a customer, or provide a membership as a creator, you must be at least 18 years old or have your parent's permission.

You are responsible for anything that occurs when anyone is signed in to your account, as well as the security of the account. Please contact us immediately if you believe your account is compromised.

You are responsible for all activity on your account. If you violate our policies we may terminate your account.

Don't do anything illegal, abusive towards others, or that abuses our site in a technical way. If you are a creator raising funds on Scrile Connect, we may be held accountable for what you do with those funds. As a result, we also look at what you do with your membership off our platform.

You can find more detailed information in the Security Policy which cover most issues, but if you find a new and creative way to hurt Scrile Connect or our community we may take action to prevent it.

A creator is someone who offers membership to customers on Scrile Connect. There are a lot of details here involving payments, fees, taxes and restrictions that you should read in full if you are a creator.

To become a creator simply launch your page to start your membership. Memberships are for your most passionate fans. You’re inviting them to be part of something exciting that gives them unique benefits they want, like additional access, merchandise, exclusivity, and engaging experiences. In exchange, customers pay on a subscription basis.

As a creator you make your membership available on Scrile Connect, and we provide membership to your customers on a subscription basis. We also handle payments issues such as fraud, chargebacks and resolution of payments disputes.

We try to provide timely access to your funds, but you may occasionally experience delays in accessing your funds. We may also block or hold payments for violations of our policies or for compliance reasons, including collecting tax reporting information. When payments are delayed or blocked we try to communicate the reason to you promptly. If you have questions about a payments block, please reach out to us using contact form on the website. In order to protect creators, we may block customers’ payments if we believe them to be fraudulent.

Sometimes activities like refunds can put your account balance into the negative. If your balance becomes negative then we may recover those funds from future payments.

As a creator there are two fees associated with your membership on Scrile Connect. The first is the platform fee, which is 10% of your monthly income at Scrile Connect. The second is the payment processing fee, which is dependent on the currency selected by the creator.

Depending on your customers' locations, some banks may charge your customer a foreign transaction fee for their membership subscription. Scrile Connect does not control this charge, but it is typically around 3%.

We do not handle most tax payments, but we collect tax identification information and report this to tax authorities as legally required. You are responsible for reporting any taxes.

The one tax we do handle on your behalf is VAT payments for electronically supplied services to customers in the EU. For the purpose of electronically supplied services, creators make a supply of those services to us, and then we supply them to the customer.

We don't allow creations and benefits that violate our policies:

To become a customer simply create an account, add your preferred payment method and join a creator's membership!

There are two types of membership subscriptions. One is a monthly subscription where you pay per month. The other is a per creation subscription where you pay based on the number of creations a creator posts in that month.

The timing and amount of each membership subscription depends on the creator you support. You can see the details as you join and in the receipt sent to you after each successful payment. You can view all your active membership subscriptions and billing history.

You may cancel your membership subscription at any time. We may grant refunds at our sole discretion.

To become a customer simply create an account, add your preferred payment method and join a creator's membership!

In certain situations you may lose access to a creator's customer-only posts and benefits. These include when you cancel your membership subscription, your payment method fails, the creator blocks you, or the creator deletes their account. We are not required to allow you to be a customer of any particular creator.

Creators' memberships vary and we have limited control over the quality and specific offerings. We attempt to screen for fraudulent creator pages, but cannot guarantee the identity of creators or the validity of any claims they make. We appreciate your help reporting suspicious creator pages so we can keep Scrile Connect safe.

If you are located in the EU, then VAT is added to the total charge. This is shown when you set up the initial membership subscription.

Depending on your location, some banks may charge you a foreign transaction fee for your membership subscription. Scrile Connect does not control this charge, but it is typically around 3%. Please contact your bank for more information.
