Spotlights Creator Terms of Service
Last Updated: 2026/07/13
Effective Date:2026/07/13
These Spotlights Creator Terms (“Creator Terms”) govern your creation, publishing, and monetisation of Spotlights on the Skippz platform. They are an addition to, and form part of, the Skippz Terms of Service (the “Main Terms”) and the Skippz Privacy Policy. Where these Creator Terms conflict with the Main Terms on the subject of Spotlights, these Creator Terms prevail.
The Service is operated by Avlanche Pty Ltd, of 132 Bower Street, Manly, NSW, Australia (“Skippz”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). “You” and “Creator” mean the account holder or workspace publishing a Spotlight. Capitalised terms not defined here have the meaning given in the Main Terms.
By creating or publishing a Spotlight, or by connecting a payment account to a Spotlight, you agree to these Creator Terms.
1. What Spotlights Are
Spotlights are pages you create to showcase and, if you choose, monetise your videos. The current Spotlight style is Showcase, which has a streaming-service look and feel. Other styles, such as course and event Spotlights, may be added over time, and these Creator Terms apply to all Spotlight styles unless we say otherwise.
Each Spotlight has a status of Draft or Published. Both Draft and Published Spotlights count toward the number of Spotlights included with your plan. Spotlights are available on eligible plans only (from the Professional plan upwards), subject to the allocation for your plan.
2. You Are the Seller
This is the most important part of these Creator Terms, so please read it carefully.
For every transaction that takes place through your Spotlight, you are the seller and merchant of record, and Skippz is not a party to that transaction. Skippz provides the technology that lets you publish, price, and deliver your content. Skippz does not sell your content, does not buy it, and is not an agent, reseller, partner, or joint venturer with you.
The agreement to buy, rent, or subscribe is made directly between you and your Buyer. As the seller, you are responsible for that transaction and for your relationship with your Buyers, including delivery, access, support, refunds, disputes, chargebacks, consumer-law obligations, and tax, as set out below.
3. Monetisation Models
The Showcase style currently offers three ways to charge, and you set every price. Any price you set, and the decision to charge or offer content for free, is entirely your responsibility.
Pay per video. You select videos from your Skippz library and either assign a price or leave them free for viewers to watch. A Buyer who purchases a video receives ongoing (“lifetime”) access to that video, subject to Section 8. You may instead offer a video as a rental for a period you choose (24, 48, or 72 hours). A rental period begins when the Buyer first begins watching the rented video and runs for the duration you set, after which access expires.
Pay per Spotlight. A Buyer purchases access to your entire Spotlight collection, including videos you add later. You may also offer the whole Spotlight as a rental for a period you choose, on the same basis as above.
Subscription Spotlight. A Buyer pays a recurring fee (for example, monthly) to keep access to the Spotlight, including videos you add later, for as long as the subscription remains active.
You are responsible for describing your offering accurately, including what is included, whether access is ongoing or time-limited, and the price and its currency.
4. Payments and Your Stripe Account
You connect your own Stripe. Payments are taken through a Stripe account that you connect to Skippz. You may connect more than one Stripe account, and you may assign a different Stripe account to different Spotlights.
Skippz does not process your payments and does not hold your money. Payments flow directly between your Buyer and your connected Stripe account. Skippz does not process, receive, hold, or route funds, and does not gain access to or control of your Stripe account. The connection is an authorised API connection only, which allows Buyers to check out through your Stripe account. You remain solely in control of your Stripe account and are bound by Stripe’s own terms, including Stripe’s Connected Account Agreement.
Skippz takes no fee. We do not charge any commission, revenue share, or transaction fee on your Spotlight sales. Standard Stripe processing fees, and any taxes, are separate and are handled by Stripe and by you.
Dashboard figures are indicative, not a statement of account. The sales amounts shown in your Skippz dashboard reflect the transactions we observe through your Spotlight and are accurate to what we see. They do not include Stripe fees, taxes, refunds, or adjustments, and they are not a statement of your Stripe balance or payout. Your actual balance, fees, and payouts are determined solely by Stripe.
Your Stripe account is your responsibility. We are not responsible or liable for the status or operation of your Stripe account, including any suspension, ban, hold, reserve, delayed or failed payout, account closure, or dispute handling by Stripe. Those matters are between you and Stripe.
Payment methods. Any payment methods offered to your Buyers, such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, are enabled and controlled by you within your own Stripe account.
Disconnecting Stripe. If you disconnect a Stripe account that has active purchases, rentals, or subscriptions, this may disrupt access, billing, or self-service for the affected Buyers. You are responsible for any consequences of disconnecting a Stripe account, including handling affected Buyers.
5. Taxes
Because you are the seller and Skippz takes no fee, you are solely responsible for determining, collecting, reporting, and remitting any taxes that apply to your sales, including sales tax, VAT, GST, or similar. Skippz does not calculate, collect, or remit taxes on your behalf. Stripe provides tools (such as Stripe Tax) that you may choose to use. You are responsible for your own tax compliance.
6. Refunds, Disputes, and Chargebacks
As the seller, you are responsible for your own refund policy and for handling refunds, Buyer disputes, and complaints. You can issue refunds directly from your Skippz dashboard, and we encourage you to do so promptly where appropriate, to avoid confusion for your Buyers and to maintain trust.
Because payments are taken directly through your Stripe account, any chargeback or payment dispute is charged to your Stripe account, not to Skippz. You bear the risk and cost of chargebacks and disputes relating to your sales.
7. Your Creator Profile
When you create your first Spotlight in a workspace, we automatically generate a Creator Profile for that workspace using information we already hold, such as your name or organisation name. You can edit your Creator Profile per workspace.
Your Creator Profile is important. You must provide accurate and truthful details, so that your audience knows who is behind the Spotlights they engage with or pay for, and so that Buyers have a way to contact you for support. You are responsible for keeping your Creator Profile current and for responding to Buyer enquiries.
8. Your Responsibilities to Buyers, and Changes to Access
You are responsible for the experience you provide to your Buyers and for honouring what you have sold. This includes any consumer-protection obligations that apply to you as a seller of digital content in the places where your Buyers are located.
You control your content and may archive, delete, unpublish, or remove access to videos or Spotlights at any time, including content that Buyers have purchased, rented, or subscribed to. If you do so, you are responsible for the consequences, including any Buyer disputes, refunds, support requests, and legal claims that result. “Lifetime” or ongoing access is access that you provide and maintain; it depends on you keeping the content available, and Skippz does not guarantee it on your behalf.
To help protect your Buyers and your integrity, when you take an action that removes or affects access to content a Buyer has paid for (for example, deleting a purchased video or a paid Spotlight), we may automatically send an email to the affected Buyers informing them of the action and the decision you have made, and including your Creator Profile details so they can contact you if they disagree. You authorise us to send these transactional notifications on your behalf. You can also issue refunds for affected Buyers directly from your dashboard.
Any dispute, complaint, or legal matter raised by your Buyers in connection with your Spotlights, content, pricing, availability, or conduct is solely your responsibility, and not Skippz’s.
9. Your Audience Data
Data about your audience and Buyers is recorded in your dashboard, and you have control over it. You can delete your audience data from your Spotlight dashboard at any time.
We will not use your audience data for our own promotional or marketing purposes. We send notifications and important transactional emails to your audience (for example, about refunds, purchases, subscription changes, or loss of access) carrying your branding and Creator Profile details, but sent from Skippz email domains. You authorise us to send these transactional messages.
For your audience data, you act as the controller and Skippz acts as a processor on your behalf, as described in the Skippz Privacy Policy and, where applicable, the Skippz Data Processing Addendum. You are responsible for having a lawful basis to collect and use your audience’s data, and for providing your audience with any privacy notice or disclosures required by law. You are responsible for your own compliance with applicable privacy and marketing laws in your dealings with your audience.
10. Viewer Accounts and Access
You decide how your audience accesses your Spotlight. You may allow viewers to watch as guests, but guest viewing works only for free videos where you have allowed it. For any paid video, paid Spotlight, rental, or subscription, viewers must create an account.
Where a Buyer has an account, they can manage that account, view their invoices and purchases, and cancel subscriptions through Stripe’s self-service portal associated with your connected Stripe account. Account and billing self-service for paid access is therefore provided through your Stripe account.
11. Content Rights, Copyright, and Takedowns
You represent and warrant that you own, or have all rights and licences necessary to sell, display, and deliver, the content in your Spotlights, and that your content and its sale do not infringe any third party’s rights or breach any law.
We do not pre-screen your content. If we receive a copyright or other rights complaint about your content, we may ask you to respond with valid evidence of your rights. If you do not respond with valid proof within a reasonable time, we may remove or disable access to the content in question. Repeated or serious infringement may lead to suspension or termination as described in the Main Terms. This is in addition to the notice-and-takedown process in the Main Terms.
12. Content Protection and Player Settings
You choose your player controls, customisations, and options, including whether to allow Buyers or viewers to download videos. Those choices, and their consequences, are your responsibility.
We apply strong measures to protect video playback, but no technology can fully prevent a determined viewer from screen-recording or otherwise copying content that can be played, and this is especially true for any content you make freely viewable or downloadable. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any unauthorised recording, downloading, or copying of your content by viewers or third parties, including where you have enabled free viewing or downloads. Offering free content, and enabling downloads, is your decision.
13. Acceptable Use for Spotlights
In addition to the acceptable-use rules in the Main Terms, you must not use Spotlights to sell, promote, or deliver content that is illegal, infringing, fraudulent, deceptive, or otherwise prohibited under the Main Terms, or to misrepresent what you are selling, your identity, or your Creator Profile details. You must not attempt to route payments in a way designed to evade Stripe’s or our terms.
14. Suspension and Termination of Spotlights
We may suspend or remove a Spotlight, or your access to Spotlights, in accordance with the Main Terms, including for breach of these Creator Terms. If your Spotlights are suspended, removed, or otherwise become unavailable, you remain responsible to your Buyers for what you have sold, including any refunds or disputes. Where your plan changes so that Spotlights are no longer included, published Spotlights may become unavailable in accordance with your plan.
15. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
Spotlights are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee any level of sales, revenue, viewer numbers, or Buyer satisfaction.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for: your sales or lost sales or revenue; any act, omission, or decision by you affecting your Buyers; any dispute between you and a Buyer; the operation, status, fees, or payouts of your Stripe account; taxes; or unauthorised copying of your content. Our liability in connection with Spotlights is subject to the disclaimers and the limitation of liability, including the liability cap and the Australian Consumer Law provisions, set out in the Main Terms.
16. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Skippz and its directors, employees, and contractors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) arising out of or related to: your Spotlights and content; your sales, pricing, refunds, and dealings with Buyers; your removal of or changes to access; your Creator Profile or any inaccurate information in it; your use or handling of audience data; your taxes; or your breach of these Creator Terms or any law or third-party right.
17. Relationship of the Parties
You and Skippz are independent parties. Nothing in these Creator Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or fiduciary relationship between you and Skippz. You are not authorised to make any commitment on behalf of Skippz, and Skippz is not the seller, agent, or representative of you or your content.
18. Changes to These Creator Terms
We may update these Creator Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will notify you by email or in-app notice. Your continued use of Spotlights after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
19. Governing Law and General
These Creator Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and the general provisions of the Main Terms (including assignment, severability, waiver, force majeure, notices, and survival) apply to them.
