Creator Agreement

Last updated: February 10, 2026

1. Introduction

This agreement covers the terms for curators who earn money on Magic Nothing. If you're an artist submitting music, the Terms of Service covers you — this is specifically for curators.

This Creator Agreement ("Agreement") governs the relationship between Magic Nothing Inc ("Magic Nothing," "Platform," "we," "us") and playlist curators ("Creator," "Curator," "you") who earn revenue by reviewing music submissions on the Platform.

This Agreement supplements our Terms of Service, which also apply to you. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Terms of Service, this Agreement controls for curator-specific matters.

2. Creator Eligibility

You need to be 18+, provide accurate info, and maintain quality standards to be a curator.

You must be at least 18 years old
You must have the legal right to enter into this Agreement
You must provide accurate information in your application
You must maintain the quality standards set by the Platform

3. Revenue Sharing

You earn tokens by reviewing submissions — whether you accept, decline, or place elsewhere. The amount depends on your playlist's quality tier. Here's how it all works.

3.1 Curator Earnings — Quality-Based Payouts

Your earnings are based on your playlist quality tier, which rewards curators who deliver value to artists. Higher-tier playlists earn a larger share of submission revenue. Current rates for each tier are displayed on the Platform.

Your quality tier is determined by playlist performance metrics. Details on how quality tiers are calculated are available on the Platform.

Earnings are calculated in real-time and added to your account.

3.2 Cashout Policy

Minimum cashout: as displayed on the Platform
Cashouts processed within the timeframe displayed on the Platform
1 token = $1 USD for cashout purposes
Payment methods: as available on the Platform (currently Stripe Connect)
Platform may require tax information before processing payments

3.3 Earning Events

You earn tokens when you review a submission (accept, decline, or place elsewhere). You do not earn tokens for submissions that expire without review or that you choose to refund.

3.4 Rate Changes

We may adjust payout rates, quality tier thresholds, and platform fees. Changes apply to new submissions only — existing submissions honor the rate locked at the time of submission.

4. Curator Obligations

Review submissions on time, give honest feedback, don't take payments outside the platform, and keep your playlists accurate. Here's the full list.

As a playlist curator, you agree to:

Review all submissions within the timeframe displayed on the Platform
Provide honest, constructive feedback
Not accept payments outside the Platform for playlist placements found on the Platform (yes, you can still be a curator on other platforms)
Maintain accurate playlist information and genres
Maintain a response rate at or above the minimum threshold displayed on the Platform. Falling below this threshold may result in your playlists being paused or hidden from discovery.
If your playlists are paused due to low response rate, you may appeal by contacting info@magicnothing.com

You may delegate playlist management to another user via the Platform's delegation feature. You remain responsible for all activity on your playlists regardless of delegation.

You may enable vacation mode to temporarily pause new submissions to your playlists.

5. Stripe Connect & Payouts

To get paid, you need to complete Stripe Connect onboarding. Stripe handles the banking details — we never see your bank account info.

To receive payouts, you must complete Stripe Connect onboarding, including identity verification and tax information as required by Stripe and applicable law.
Payouts are processed in USD. If your Stripe Connect account is in another currency, Stripe will convert at their prevailing exchange rate.
Magic Nothing does not have access to your banking details — these are handled entirely by Stripe.
If your Stripe Connect account is restricted or closed by Stripe, we cannot process payouts until the issue is resolved with Stripe directly.

6. Content Standards

Keep it original, accurate, and professional.

All content must be original or properly licensed
Content must be appropriate and professional
No misleading or false information
Must comply with all applicable laws

7. Platform Rights

We reserve the right to review applications, monitor performance, and take action when needed.

The Platform reserves the right to:

Review and approve all creator applications
Monitor creator performance and user feedback
Suspend or terminate creators who violate this Agreement
Modify quality tier thresholds and payout rates with 30 days' notice
Remove content that violates our policies

8. Intellectual Property

You own your content. We get a license to display it on the Platform. You promise it doesn't infringe on anyone else's rights.

You retain ownership of your original content
You grant the Platform a limited, non-exclusive license to display and promote your content on the Platform
You warrant that your content doesn't infringe on others' rights
The Platform owns all Platform-related intellectual property and branding

9. Taxes

You're responsible for your own taxes on what you earn. We'll send the required tax forms if you're in the US. International curators — check your local rules.

You are solely responsible for reporting and paying all taxes on earnings from the Platform.
Magic Nothing will issue IRS Form 1099 (or equivalent) as required by applicable law for US-based creators.
For creators outside the US, you are responsible for compliance with your local tax obligations. Magic Nothing may request tax documentation (e.g., W-8BEN) before processing payouts.
If required by law, Magic Nothing may withhold taxes from your payouts.
You must provide accurate tax information when requested.

10. Confidentiality

When artists submit to your playlists, they're trusting you with their music and messages. Keep it confidential.

In the course of reviewing submissions, you will have access to artist information including their music, messages, and Spotify data. You agree to treat this information as confidential.

You may not share, publish, or disclose submission details, artist messages, or feedback outside the Platform without the artist's consent.
You may not use artist data obtained through submissions for any purpose other than reviewing and responding to submissions on the Platform.

This obligation survives termination of this Agreement.

11. Term and Termination

Either side can end this with 14 days' notice. If you've earned tokens, we'll pay them out within 30 days.

This Agreement begins upon approval of your creator application.
Either party may terminate with 14 days' written notice.
Upon termination, earned tokens above the cashout minimum will be paid out within 30 days, subject to completion of Stripe Connect onboarding and applicable tax documentation.
Tokens earned through activity that violated this Agreement or the Terms of Service may be forfeited.

Survival. The following sections survive termination: Intellectual Property (Section 8), Taxes (Section 9), Confidentiality (Section 10), and Dispute Resolution (Section 12).

12. Dispute Resolution

Disputes are handled under the same process as our Terms of Service — informal resolution first, then arbitration if needed.

Any disputes arising from or relating to this Agreement will be resolved in accordance with the Dispute Resolution provisions in our Terms of Service (Section 18), which are incorporated by reference.

13. General Provisions

Standard legal housekeeping — California law applies, amendments must be in writing, and if one part is invalid the rest still stands.

This Agreement, together with the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Magic Nothing regarding your role as a curator.
Amendments must be in writing.
If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles.
