Terms of Service

• "Creator" - A person or entity who has applied to or joined the Ascendant Livestream Creator Network.
• "Content" - Any text, graphics, photos, videos, audio, livestreams, or other materials posted, streamed, or otherwise made available via TikTok or any other platform by a Creator.
• "Platform" - TikTok and any third-party social platform, payment provider, or software tool that interacts with the Services.
• "Creator Network Agreement"- The in-app agreement facilitated by TikTok between each Creator and Ascendant Livestream through TikTok's Creator Network interface. If any clause in that Creator Network Agreement directly conflicts with these Terms, the Creator Network Agreement controls.

We offer, without limitation:

• Talent scouting and onboarding - identifying, vetting, and inviting potential creators to join the Ascendant Livestream Creator Network.
• Content and growth strategy - one-on-one coaching, campaign briefs, and "battle" preparation.
• Campaign management - guidance and administration for TikTok LIVE campaigns.
• Resource hub access - guides, templates, calculators, analytics dashboards, Discord channels, and third-party tools.
• Unban and compliance support - liaising with TikTok on account or livestream issues, subject to TikTok policies.
• Physical rewards and merch - as set out in campaign rules or incentive programs.

We may modify, replace, suspend, or discontinue any Service (or part thereof) at any time. Where a change materially affects Creators, we will give reasonable notice by email, Discord announcement, or similar means.

Performance-bonus model.Ascendant Livestream does not deduct any commission from your diamonds, gifts, or other creator payouts. Instead, TikTok may pay Ascendant Livestream separate performance bonuses from TikTok's own revenue share when the agency meets metrics such as total diamond volume, campaign rankings, or creator milestones. These bonuses never reduce your share.

Optional incentive pass-through. We may, at our sole discretion, channel part of our agency bonuses back to Creators via top-up diamonds, merch kits, or cash prizes. These incentives are goodwill perks, not guaranteed entitlements, and can be changed or withdrawn at any time.

Creator expenses. You remain responsible for any costs you incur in producing or streaming content unless we have agreed in writing to cover them.

Currency and taxes. All amounts are in Australian or New Zealand dollars unless stated otherwise. You are responsible for meeting your own tax obligations and should seek professional advice where needed.
