Governing Entity: Captions Rush LLC, a Texas limited liability company

---

Plain English Summary

Before the legal text: here's what this contract actually says, in normal language. The plain-English summary is for clarity only — if anything here conflicts with the binding terms below, the binding terms win.

• What you get. Two kinds of reward: (a) free CaptionsRush minutes credited to your account, and (b) real cash via Tebex, paid as a percentage of every initial purchase and recurring subscription renewal made by people who use your Creator Code or click your affiliate link.
• How attribution works. When someone enters your Creator Code at checkout, they're tagged as yours. If they don't enter a code but clicked your affiliate link in the last 60 days, you still get credit. Last click wins.
• What you owe us. Honest promotion, clear "#ad" disclosure on your content, no spam, no buying your own subscriptions to game the system, no hateful or harmful content. Don't damage the brand.
• How we change things. If we cut your cash percentage by 20% or more, we'll give you 30 days' notice and you can quit before it takes effect. Smaller changes (catalog updates, clarifications) can take effect immediately.
• How you leave. Either of us can quit on 14 days' notice. If you breach the rules badly (fraud, hate content), we can terminate immediately.
• Where disputes go. Texas law applies. Texas courts. If you're in the EU/UK, your local mandatory consumer protections still apply.

The legally binding terms start below.

---
This Creator Affiliate Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into between Captions Rush LLC, a Texas limited liability company doing business as CaptionsRush ("Company," "we," "us"), and you ("Creator," "you"), and governs your participation in the Company's affiliate and cash-revshare program (the "Program"). By submitting an application or by promoting CaptionsRush using a Creator Code or Affiliate Link assigned to you, you accept this Agreement in full. If you do not accept it, do not submit an application and do not use any Creator Code or Affiliate Link.

1. Definitions

In this Agreement:

1.1 "Affiliate Link" means a tracked URL the Company assigns to you that records referrals through cookies and similar attribution technology.

1.2 "Attribution Window" means the sixty (60) calendar day period during which a referral arriving through your Affiliate Link is attributed to you. The Company may change the Attribution Window prospectively under Section 4.3.

1.3 "Approved Platforms" has the meaning given in Section 2.2.

1.4 "Creator Code" means a unique alphanumeric code the Company assigns to you, which Customers may enter at checkout to attribute their purchase to you.

1.5 "Customer" means any person or entity who purchases a CaptionsRush subscription or other paid product.

1.6 "Qualifying Purchase" means a Customer purchase or recurring subscription renewal that meets all of the following: (a) the Customer entered your Creator Code at checkout, or arrived through your Affiliate Link within the Attribution Window; (b) the payment was received and processed by Tebex; (c) the payment has not been refunded, charged back, cancelled, or determined by the Company or Tebex to be fraudulent (subject to the clawback window in Section 4.5); and (d) the Customer is not you, a member of your immediate household, or any party acting in coordination with you to manipulate attribution.

1.7 "Tebex" means Tebex Limited, the Company's third-party payment processor and merchant of record.

1.8 "Tebex Wallet" means the Creator-controlled account maintained with Tebex into which cash revshare is paid.

1.9 "Tebex Wallet Reference" means the unique identifier you provide to the Company linking your Tebex Wallet to your Creator Code.

2. Eligibility

2.1 You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) and legally capable of entering into binding contracts. If you are accepting this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, which will then be the "Creator" under this Agreement.

2.2 You must operate at least one content presence on an Approved Platform. Approved Platforms are YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram, Kick, X (Twitter), Discord servers you operate, podcasts, and personal blogs or websites. Other platforms may be approved at the Company's discretion. You must comply with the terms of service of each platform on which you promote CaptionsRush; violation of a platform's terms of service is a violation of this Agreement.

2.3 There is no minimum follower or subscriber count, but your content must be your own original work and comply with Section 7.

2.4 Approval is at the Company's sole discretion. We may request additional information (including a Discord identity for vetting) before approving you and may deny any application without giving reasons.

3. The Program and Attribution

3.1 If approved, the Company will assign you a unique Creator Code and an Affiliate Link.

3.2 Attribution rules. A referral is attributed to you when:

a. A Customer enters your Creator Code at checkout — Code attribution always takes precedence over Affiliate Link attribution; or

b. A Customer purchases within the Attribution Window after clicking your Affiliate Link, where no other Creator Code is entered at checkout.

3.3 Last click wins for Affiliate Links. If a Customer clicks multiple affiliate links from different creators within the Attribution Window, the most recent click controls attribution.

3.4 Recurring subscriptions. Once a Customer is attributed to you on their initial Qualifying Purchase, you continue to earn cash revshare on each subsequent renewal of that subscription for as long as the subscription remains active and this Agreement remains in effect. Termination of this Agreement (Section 8) ends future attribution but does not retroactively revoke past Qualifying Purchases.

3.5 The Program currently offers two distinct rewards:

a. Minute rewards — credited to your CaptionsRush account balance when referrals you bring sign up and make Qualifying Purchases. Minute rewards are subject to manual review and approval by the Company.

b. Cash revshare — paid by Tebex directly into your Tebex Wallet on every Qualifying Purchase, including initial purchases and recurring subscription renewals attributed to you. Cash revshare is governed by your separate relationship with Tebex.

3.6 Minute rewards and cash revshare are both payable on the same Qualifying Purchase unless your affiliate dashboard expressly states otherwise.

3.7 To receive cash revshare you must (a) create and maintain an active Tebex Wallet, (b) submit your Tebex Wallet Reference to us, and (c) pass our content review (see Section 7). You are responsible for keeping your Tebex Wallet active and your payout details current; we are not responsible for payouts that fail because your Tebex Wallet is closed, frozen, or misconfigured.

4. Compensation

4.1 Current revshare percentage. Your cash revshare percentage is the percentage configured by the Company in its Tebex Control Panel against your Creator Code on the effective date of your approval. The percentage is set on a per-Creator basis at the Company's discretion. Minute reward rates are governed by the rates displayed on your affiliate dashboard at the time the referral is recorded.

4.2 Payment of cash revshare. Cash revshare is paid by Tebex into your Tebex Wallet according to Tebex's payout schedule and terms. The Company does not hold, withhold, or process cash compensation on your behalf except as required by law. Tebex's terms of service govern timing, fees, withdrawals, currency conversion, and any holds or reversals.

4.3 Right to modify compensation. The Company may, at any time, change your revshare percentage, modify minute reward rates, adjust the Attribution Window, or restructure the Program. A change is considered "material" if it (a) reduces your cash revshare percentage by twenty percent (20%) or more (for example, from 30% to 24% or less), (b) replaces cash revshare entirely with non-cash rewards, or (c) reduces the Attribution Window by more than half. Material changes will be effective no earlier than thirty (30) calendar days after written notice is delivered to you via email, your affiliate dashboard, or the Company's Discord server. Non-material changes (clarifications, increases in your favor, additions or substitutions to the minute reward catalog, smaller percentage reductions) may take effect immediately. If you do not accept a material change you may terminate this Agreement under Section 8.2 before the change takes effect.

4.4 No guaranteed earnings. The Company makes no representation about how much you will earn. Earnings depend on customer behavior, refunds, chargebacks, fraud holds, and other factors outside the Company's control.

4.5 Refunds, chargebacks, and clawbacks. If a Customer refund, dispute, or chargeback occurs within ninety (90) days of the original transaction credited to you, the corresponding cash revshare and/or minute rewards may be withheld, recouped, or set off against future earnings. Refunds or chargebacks occurring more than ninety (90) days after the original transaction will not be clawed back, except in cases of fraud or self-dealing under Section 7.3. The Company's records (and Tebex's records, where applicable) are conclusive evidence of attributable transactions and clawbacks.

4.6 No audit right. Except for the information visible to you in your affiliate dashboard and in Tebex's payout reports, you have no right to audit, inspect, or examine the Company's records, systems, or attribution data. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you waive any such right.

5. Taxes

You are an independent contractor and are solely responsible for all taxes, withholdings, social contributions, and reporting on amounts you earn under the Program. The Company does not withhold taxes. You may be required by Tebex or by applicable law to provide tax documentation (W-9, W-8BEN, or equivalent) before receiving payouts; failure to provide required documentation may delay or forfeit payouts.

6. Promotion Guidelines

6.1 Honest promotion. You must promote CaptionsRush truthfully. You may not make claims about features, performance, pricing, or roadmap items that are not currently true.

6.2 Disclosure. You must clearly and conspicuously disclose your affiliate relationship with the Company wherever you promote CaptionsRush, in compliance with applicable law — including, in the United States, the FTC Endorsement Guides; in the EU, the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive as implemented locally; in the UK, the ASA and CMA guidance; and in any other jurisdiction, the local equivalent. A disclosure such as "#ad", "Sponsored", or "I earn a commission when you sign up using my link" placed clearly in the post or video description is acceptable.

6.3 No spam, no incentivized signups. You may not promote the Program by spam (unsolicited bulk messages on any platform), by paid bot traffic, by purchasing keyword ads on the Company's trademarks (including "CaptionsRush" or close variants), by impersonating the Company or its staff, or by offering cashback, in-game rewards, or other inducements that bypass the Customer's free choice to subscribe.

6.4 No misleading scarcity. You may not invent fake discounts, expiring offers, or "last chance" claims that the Company has not authorized.

6.5 Right to monitor and require takedown. The Company may monitor your public promotional content for compliance with this Agreement. If the Company reasonably determines that any item of your content violates this Agreement, the Company may require you to take down or edit that content within seven (7) calendar days of written notice. Failure to comply within that period is a material breach of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section limits the Company's right to take immediate action (including direct removal requests to third-party platforms) where unlawful content, imminent harm, or other urgent risk exists.

7. Prohibited Conduct and Content

7.1 You may not participate in the Program if your content or conduct includes any of the following. The list is illustrative, not exhaustive, and the Company has sole discretion to determine whether content falls within these categories:

a. Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or otherwise hateful content;
b. Sexually explicit content, content sexualizing minors, or any content involving the exploitation of minors (zero tolerance);
c. Content that promotes, glorifies, or facilitates illegal activity, violence, self-harm, terrorism, or hate groups;
d. Doxxing, harassment, stalking, or threats against any person;
e. Cheating tools, malware, account-stealing schemes, fraud, or distribution of stolen credentials or pirated software;
f. Misrepresentation of your identity, affiliation, or content ownership;
g. Any conduct that, in the Company's reasonable judgment, harms the Company's brand, community, or the safety of CaptionsRush's users (which include members of the deaf and hard-of-hearing community).

7.2 Engaging in any of the conduct above is a material breach of this Agreement and grounds for immediate termination, forfeiture of unpaid rewards, and permanent disqualification from the Program.

7.3 No self-dealing or circumvention. You may not:

a. Use your own Creator Code or Affiliate Link to attribute purchases made by you, members of your immediate household, or any party acting in coordination with you;
b. Sell, trade, transfer, share, or sublicense your Creator Code or Affiliate Link;
c. Generate fake traffic, fake clicks, fake signups, or bot referrals;
d. Use cookie stuffing, iframe injection, or any technical means to inject affiliate attribution onto Customers who did not voluntarily click your Affiliate Link or enter your Creator Code;
e. Coordinate with other creators or third parties to launder, redirect, or split attribution between codes.

7.4 Self-dealing or circumvention is a material breach and grounds for immediate termination, forfeiture of all unpaid rewards (cash and minute), permanent disqualification from the Program, and an instruction to Tebex to suspend or reverse pending payouts.

7.5 The Company's good-faith determination, based on its records and Tebex's records, that self-dealing or circumvention has occurred is conclusive for purposes of this Section 7.

8. Term and Termination

8.1 Term. This Agreement begins when your application is approved and continues until terminated under this Section.

8.2 Termination by either party for convenience. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason or no reason, on fourteen (14) calendar days' written notice to the other.

8.3 Termination by the Company for cause. The Company may terminate this Agreement immediately, without notice and without liability, if you:

a. Breach this Agreement and, where the breach is reasonably curable, fail to cure within seven (7) calendar days of written notice from the Company describing the breach;
b. Engage in any conduct prohibited by Section 7.1 (no cure period);
c. Commit fraud, self-dealing, or any other conduct prohibited by Section 7.3 (no cure period); or
d. Take any action that the Company reasonably believes harms its brand or community in a manner that cannot be adequately remedied by cure.

8.4 Effect of termination.

a. On termination, your Creator Code and Affiliate Link will be deactivated. The Company is not obligated to credit referrals received after deactivation.
b. Cash revshare attributable to Qualifying Purchases that occurred while this Agreement was in effect will be paid out per Tebex's terms, subject to clawback under Section 4.5.
c. Forfeiture for cause. If termination is under Section 8.3(b) or 8.3(c), the Company may withhold and forfeit any unpaid cash revshare and any pending or unapproved minute rewards in their entirety, and may instruct Tebex to suspend payouts pending investigation. If termination is under Section 8.3(a) or 8.3(d), forfeiture is limited to rewards directly attributable to the breach itself; rewards earned on unrelated Qualifying Purchases will be paid out.
d. Sections 1 (Definitions, as relevant), 5 (Taxes), 7 (Prohibited Conduct), 8.4 (Effect of Termination), 9 (Intellectual Property), 10 (Warranties), 11 (Limitation of Liability), 12 (Indemnification), 13.3 (Confidentiality), 13.6 (Force Majeure), 13.10 (Governing Law and Venue), and 13.11 (Mandatory Consumer Rights) survive termination.

9. Intellectual Property and License Grant

9.1 Your content. You retain all rights in your own content. You grant the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to reference your channel, screen-name, and publicly available content for the limited purpose of marketing the Program (for example, naming you as a participating creator). The Company will not materially modify your content beyond format adaptation such as cropping, captioning, or platform-appropriate resizing.

9.2 Company brand. The Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the CaptionsRush name, logo, and approved brand assets solely to promote CaptionsRush per this Agreement. You may not register or use any domain, social handle, trademark, or business name that includes "CaptionsRush" or any confusingly similar variant. You may not misrepresent yourself as an employee, agent, partner, or official representative of the Company. This license terminates automatically when this Agreement terminates, and you must promptly stop using the brand assets and remove them from channels within your reasonable control.

9.3 No reverse engineering. You may not access the Company's services, APIs, or infrastructure other than as a normal end user, and you may not scrape, reverse-engineer, or attempt to circumvent any technical protection measure.

10. Warranties and Disclaimers

10.1 Your warranties. You represent and warrant that (a) you have full authority to enter into this Agreement, (b) you own or have all necessary rights to the content with which you promote CaptionsRush, (c) the information you provide to us (including your Tebex Wallet Reference, Discord handle, and content URLs) is accurate and current, and (d) your promotion of CaptionsRush will comply with this Agreement, the terms of service of any platform you use, and all applicable laws.

10.2 Company disclaimers. The Program is provided "as is" and "as available." The Company makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the Program's continued availability, accuracy of reporting, or your ability to earn under it. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from a course of dealing or trade.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law: (a) in no event will the Company be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost goodwill, or lost data, even if advised of the possibility of such damages; and (b) the Company's aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, will not exceed the total amount of compensation actually paid by the Company to you under the Program in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100), whichever is greater.

12. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, and contractors from and against any claim, loss, damage, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or related to (a) your content, (b) your breach of this Agreement, (c) your violation of any law or third-party right (including any platform's terms of service), or (d) any false or misleading statement you make about CaptionsRush.

13. General Provisions

13.1 Independent contractor. You and the Company are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise relationship.

13.2 Modifications to this Agreement. The Company may update this Agreement from time to time. Material changes (including changes to compensation per Section 4.3) take effect no earlier than thirty (30) calendar days after notice. Your continued participation in the Program after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Agreement. If you do not accept an update, your only remedy is to terminate this Agreement under Section 8.2 before the update takes effect.

13.3 Confidentiality. Non-public business information the Company shares with you in connection with the Program (including unannounced features, internal metrics, business plans, or other creators' commission rates) is confidential. You may not disclose it without our prior written consent. This obligation survives termination of this Agreement for two (2) years.

13.4 Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the Company's prior written consent. The Company may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

13.5 Notices. The Company may give notice to you via email to the address associated with your CaptionsRush account, via posting in your affiliate dashboard, or via direct message on the Company's Discord server. You may give notice to the Company by email to contact@equalgaming.co (or such other address as the Company publishes on the CaptionsRush website).

13.6 Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, pandemic, government action, internet or telecommunications outages, third-party service outages (including outages of Tebex or any platform), or denial-of-service attacks. The affected party must give prompt notice and resume performance when reasonably possible.

13.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement remains in full force and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to be enforceable.

13.8 Waiver. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.

13.9 Entire agreement. This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Program and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings on its subject matter.

13.10 Governing law and venue. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, for any dispute that is not resolved informally within thirty (30) days of written notice. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

13.11 Mandatory consumer rights (EU/UK creators). If you are habitually resident in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you may benefit from mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence, including consumer-protection rules where applicable. Nothing in this Agreement waives or limits those rights, and nothing in Sections 8.4(c), 10, 11, or 13.10 applies to you to the extent it conflicts with a non-waivable provision of that law.
