Terms of Service

By creating an account or using ViewMela ("Platform", "we", "us"), you agree to these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, and our Clipper Rewards Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

ViewMela is a marketplace that connects brands with content creators ("clippers") to promote campaigns on supported social platforms and earn based on verified performance.

You must provide accurate registration information and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, applicable law, or platform rules of connected social networks.

Roles on ViewMela include brands (campaign owners), clippers (content submitters), and administrators. Features available to you depend on your role.

To submit clips and sync performance, clippers may connect third-party accounts (for example YouTube or TikTok) via OAuth. You authorize ViewMela to access only the scopes required for ownership verification and view metrics, as disclosed during the connection flow.

You must only connect accounts you control. Submitting content you do not own, or attempting to manipulate metrics, is prohibited. You may disconnect accounts at any time in Settings; we may revoke tokens when you disconnect.

Brands create campaigns with budgets, platforms, payout rules, and guidelines. Clippers may submit eligible clips while a campaign is active and budget remains available.

Brands may approve or reject a submitted clip against the guidelines written on the campaign page. A clip stays in review for 72 hours. If the brand does not decide, ViewMela auto-approves it. Views may still sync during review; they are not payable until the clip is approved.

Clippers may appeal a rejection once within 7 days. An administrator decides. Requirements that appear only off-platform (for example Discord) do not override the campaign page. ViewMela may automate certain settlement and payout steps based on configured rules. Campaign parameters (rates, caps, deadlines) control how earnings are calculated.

ViewMela charges a platform commission on applicable campaign spend as disclosed in the product (currently a percentage of settled amounts). Clipper earnings are calculated from campaign payout rules and verified views, subject to minimums, maximums, and budget availability.

Amounts shown in the product (including clip earnings and pending payouts) are estimates until verification finishes. They are not a guarantee of payment. Payment is due only after integrity checks complete, the clip remains eligible, and the brand pays under the campaign rules.

Clippers must maintain valid payout methods. Brands are responsible for funding campaigns and any prepaid commission requirements shown in the product. Currency display (for example ETB) and timing of transfers depend on configured payment rails and may involve third-party processors.

ViewMela uses official view counts from connected social platforms (for example YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram) as the source of truth. After a clip locks for payment, we may hold approval while those platforms correct invalid traffic.

If the source platform materially reduces a clip's reported view count during that verification hold, we may withhold, reduce, or cancel the unpaid reserved payout for that clip and return the corresponding campaign budget. Current hold length, drop threshold, and when an entire reserved payout is cancelled are stated in the Clipper Rewards Policy, which we may update as described there.

This is a verification of unvested earnings, not a promise that every displayed view will be paid. Buying fake engagement, inflating metrics, or otherwise manipulating performance remains prohibited. You may request a review as described in the Clipper Rewards Policy. We generally do not override a correction made by the source platform.

• No fraud, fake engagement, or metric manipulation.
• No content that is illegal, infringing, or violates social platform policies.
• No attempts to bypass ownership checks, security controls, or rate limits.
• No scraping, reverse engineering, or unauthorized access to Platform systems.

ViewMela branding, software, and documentation remain our property. Brands and clippers retain rights in their own content, subject to licenses needed for campaign promotion and Platform operation. You grant ViewMela a limited license to display campaign and clip metadata as required to operate the service.

The Platform is provided "as is." We do not guarantee uninterrupted service, specific earnings, or that third-party APIs (YouTube, TikTok, payment providers) will remain available unchanged. To the fullest extent permitted by law, ViewMela is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the Platform.

We may update these Terms or the Clipper Rewards Policy by posting a revised version with an updated date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. For questions about these Terms, contact us through the support channels published on the ViewMela website.
