Terms of Service
Last updated: 1 July 2026
These Terms of Service ('Terms') form a binding agreement between you and Apex Performance Marketing, Inc., a California corporation doing business as 123 Collabs ('123 Collabs', 'we', 'us', or 'our'), and govern your access to and use of our website, mobile applications, and related services (together, the 'Services'). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. PLEASE READ THE 'DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION; CLASS-ACTION WAIVER' SECTION CAREFULLY: IT REQUIRES DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ACTIONS.
1. The Services
123 Collabs is a managed creator-collaboration agency that matches brands with creators and facilitates collaborations, including contracts, invoicing, and payouts.
Specific collaborations may be governed by separate agreements, which control over these Terms to the extent they conflict for that collaboration.
2. Eligibility and accounts
- You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Services.
- You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it up to date.
- You are responsible for safeguarding access to your account and for all activity that occurs under it.
- The creator app is invite-only; access is provided at our discretion, and we may refuse, suspend, or terminate access at any time.
3. Creator and brand obligations
- Creators agree to provide the identity-verification (KYC) and payout details required to be paid, to produce and post content according to the brand's instructions and the applicable campaign agreement, and to disclose paid partnerships as required by law (including U.S. FTC and, in India, ASCI guidance).
- Brands agree to provide campaign content and instructions and to pay the agreed fees through the invoices we raise.
- All content must comply with applicable laws, advertising standards, and the policies of the relevant social-media platforms.
4. Payments
Brands are billed through invoices, which are due as stated on the invoice. Creator payouts are made to verified accounts after the brand approves the posted content and in accordance with the applicable campaign agreement.
You are responsible for any taxes applicable to amounts you receive. We are not obligated to pay for deliverables that do not comply with the agreed instructions or these Terms.
5. Your content and license to us
You retain ownership of the content you submit through the Services ('User Content'). You grant 123 Collabs and, as necessary to run a collaboration, the relevant brand, a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, use, reproduce, modify (for formatting), display, and distribute your User Content for the purposes of operating the Services and carrying out the collaboration.
You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights necessary to grant this license and that your User Content does not violate any law or third-party right.
6. Intellectual property
The Services, including all software, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks, are owned by or licensed to 123 Collabs and are protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Services for their intended purpose.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse-engineer, scrape, or create derivative works from any part of the Services except as expressly permitted.
7. Acceptable use
- Do not use the Services for any unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purpose.
- Do not interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or related systems.
- Do not scrape, harvest, or collect data from the Services except as expressly permitted.
- Do not infringe the intellectual-property or privacy rights of others, or upload malicious code.
- Do not misrepresent your identity or your affiliation with any person or entity.
8. Third-party platforms and services
The Services interoperate with third-party platforms (such as Instagram and other social networks) and rely on third-party providers. Your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for them or for their availability, content, or practices.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED 'AS IS' AND 'AS AVAILABLE,' WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY COLLABORATION WILL ACHIEVE PARTICULAR RESULTS.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, 123 COLLABS AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) US$100.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including under California Civil Code section 1668 for fraud, willful injury, or violation of law.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless 123 Collabs and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your User Content, your use of the Services, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
12. Term and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without cause or notice. You may stop using the Services at any time and may delete your account from within the app.
Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution — will survive.
13. Dispute resolution; arbitration; class-action waiver
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its applicable rules, seated in Sacramento County, California, rather than in court — except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court or seek injunctive relief to protect intellectual-property rights.
YOU AND 123 COLLABS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND 123 COLLABS WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing hello@123collabs.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms; opting out will not affect the other provisions of these Terms.
