Effective Date: March 25, 2026
Operated by Stacks Studio Holdings LLC | Newark, NJ
UGC Roster ("Platform," "we," "us," or "our") is a software-as-a-service platform operated by Stacks Studio Holdings LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey. The Platform is accessible at ugcroster.com and any related subdomains, mobile applications, APIs, or associated services.
UGC Roster connects brands, agencies, and marketers ("Clients" or "Brand Users") with creators of user-generated content ("Creators") for the purposes of sourcing, licensing, and managing short-form video and other media content for advertising and marketing purposes.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Platform. By creating an account, clicking "I Agree," accessing any feature, or otherwise using the Platform in any way, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies incorporated by reference herein.
If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. References to "you" and "your" refer to both the individual user and the entity on whose behalf you are acting, jointly and severally.
As used in these Terms, the following capitalized terms have the meanings set forth below:
You must be at least 18 years of age to create an Account or use the Platform in any capacity. By creating an Account, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older. The Platform is not intended for use by minors, and we do not knowingly collect information from individuals under 18. If we become aware that a user is under 18, we reserve the right to immediately terminate that Account.
You represent and warrant that you have the full legal capacity to enter into a binding contract and are not barred from doing so under any applicable law. If you are using the Platform on behalf of a business entity, you represent that the entity is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing in its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation.
The Platform is operated from the United States. We make no representation that the Platform is appropriate or available in all locations. You are responsible for compliance with local laws in your jurisdiction. Users in jurisdictions subject to U.S. embargoes or trade sanctions are prohibited from accessing or using the Platform.
Creators must additionally:
To use the Platform, you must register for an Account. When creating an Account, you agree to:
The Platform offers two primary Account types:
You may not maintain both a Creator Account and a Brand Account under the same identity without prior written permission from us.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials, including your username and password. You agree to:
We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized access to your Account resulting from your failure to comply with these security obligations.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any Account, at our sole discretion, for any violation of these Terms, fraudulent activity, abuse of the Platform, or any other reason we deem appropriate. Upon termination, your right to access the Platform ceases immediately.
UGC Roster provides a software platform that enables:
Access to certain features of the Platform may require a paid subscription. Subscription plans, pricing, and included features are described on our Pricing page and are subject to change. Current subscription tiers may include features such as:
Specific features included in any plan are subject to change. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes to subscription plan features.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Platform or any feature thereof at any time, with or without notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services.
We may offer certain features on a beta or early-access basis. Beta features are provided "as-is" without any warranties and may be modified or discontinued at any time.
Brand Users who subscribe to a paid plan agree to pay the applicable subscription fees in advance for the selected subscription period (monthly or annual). Fees are non-refundable except as expressly provided in these Terms or required by applicable law.
For each completed Campaign transaction, UGC Roster may charge a platform fee calculated as a percentage of the total transaction value or a flat fee, as specified on the Platform. Both Creators and Brand Users may be subject to applicable fees. Current fee structures are disclosed in the Platform and may be updated from time to time.
Compensation terms between Creators and Brand Users are established within each Campaign. UGC Roster processes Creator payments through integrated payment providers. Creators are responsible for ensuring their payment information is accurate and current. UGC Roster is not responsible for delays caused by incomplete or inaccurate payment details.
Creators acknowledge that they are independent contractors and are solely responsible for any taxes, withholdings, or other obligations associated with payments received through the Platform. We may be required to collect tax information and issue applicable tax forms (e.g., IRS Form 1099) in accordance with applicable law.
All payments are processed through third-party payment processors. By providing payment information, you agree to the terms of the applicable payment processor. We do not store full payment card numbers and are not responsible for errors or failures by payment processors.
If payment is not received when due, we may suspend access to your Account until payment is made. Any disputed charges must be raised in writing within 30 days of the charge date. Chargebacks initiated without prior notification to us may result in Account suspension and may constitute a breach of these Terms.
Subscription fees are generally non-refundable. However, if you cancel within 48 hours of your initial subscription or renewal and have not used the Platform's paid features during that period, you may request a refund by contacting us at gabe@ugcroster.com. We will evaluate refund requests on a case-by-case basis for extenuating circumstances.
We may offer free trial periods at our discretion. At the end of a free trial, you will be automatically charged for the subscription plan you selected unless you cancel before the trial ends. We will provide notice before the trial ends.
Brand Users are responsible for providing clear, accurate, and complete campaign briefs. A campaign brief must include, at minimum:
We are not responsible for Campaigns that result in unsatisfactory Content due to inadequate or ambiguous briefing.
Upon accepting a Campaign, Creators agree to:
Brand Users may review submitted Deliverables and request revisions as specified in the Campaign. The number of permitted revision rounds will be set forth in the Campaign brief. We encourage Creators and Brand Users to communicate clearly and in good faith regarding revisions. Disputes regarding revisions that cannot be resolved between the parties may be escalated to us for mediation.
Brand Users may reject Deliverables that materially fail to meet the specifications of the campaign brief. Rejection must be accompanied by specific, actionable feedback. Rejections made in bad faith or for reasons not related to the campaign brief may be reviewed by us, and we reserve the right to release withheld payment to Creators in cases of bad-faith rejection.
Creators retain ownership of all Content they create until such time as ownership or usage rights are formally transferred to a Brand User in accordance with a Campaign agreement or license. Platform usage does not itself transfer ownership.
As between Creators and UGC Roster, Creators own all Intellectual Property Rights in the Content they create. By uploading Content to the Platform, Creators grant UGC Roster a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, and distribute the Content solely for the purpose of operating the Platform and fulfilling applicable Campaigns.
Upon successful completion of a Campaign and full payment to the Creator, the Creator grants the Brand User a license to use the Deliverables as specified in the Campaign brief. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the Campaign agreement, this license is:
Brand Users seeking perpetual, exclusive, or broad multi-platform licenses must negotiate such terms explicitly with Creators within the Campaign agreement.
All trademarks, logos, platform interfaces, software, and other materials provided by UGC Roster are the exclusive property of Stacks Studio Holdings LLC or its licensors and are protected by applicable Intellectual Property Rights. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights in or to the Platform's proprietary materials except as expressly stated.
We respect intellectual property rights and expect our users to do the same. If you believe Content on the Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to our designated agent at: legal@ugcroster.com
Your notice must include: (a) identification of the copyrighted work; (b) identification of the allegedly infringing material; (c) your contact information; (d) a statement of good faith belief; (e) a statement of accuracy under penalty of perjury; and (f) your physical or electronic signature. We will respond to valid DMCA notices promptly.
If you provide us with any feedback, suggestions, or ideas regarding the Platform, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use, modify, and incorporate such feedback into the Platform without any obligation to compensate you.
You agree not to use the Platform to:
You agree not to submit, upload, or otherwise transmit Content that:
Brand Users and Creators agree not to solicit or enter into agreements with each other outside of the Platform for any campaign or transaction that originated on or through the Platform (an "Off-Platform Transaction") for a period of 12 months following the conclusion of their last Platform-facilitated Campaign. Off-Platform Transactions circumvent our fee structure and are a violation of these Terms.
We reserve the right to remove any Content, suspend or terminate any Account, and pursue all available legal remedies against any user who violates these Terms. We may also report violations to applicable law enforcement authorities.
By submitting Content through the Platform, each Creator represents, warrants, and covenants that:
By creating a Campaign and using Creator Content through the Platform, each Brand User represents, warrants, and covenants that:
Your use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. By using the Platform, you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your personal information as described in the Privacy Policy.
We collect personal information necessary to operate the Platform, process transactions, and comply with legal obligations. This includes information you provide directly (such as name, email, payment details, and portfolio content) and information collected automatically (such as usage data, device identifiers, and analytics).
The Platform may integrate with third-party services such as payment processors, analytics providers, and social media platforms. Your use of such integrations is subject to the privacy policies and terms of service of those third parties. We encourage you to review those policies.
We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction. However, no data transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to know, delete, and opt out of the sale of personal information. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for details on how to exercise these rights.
If you are a user located in the European Economic Area, you may have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including rights of access, rectification, erasure, and data portability. Our Privacy Policy details our data processing activities and legal bases. Contact us at gabe@ugcroster.com to exercise your GDPR rights.
Both Creators and Brand Users are independently responsible for compliance with all applicable advertising and endorsement laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning Endorsements and Testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255).
Creators must clearly and conspicuously disclose any material connection with a Brand User when creating Content, including sponsored, gifted, or paid partnerships. Acceptable disclosures include use of platform-native disclosure tools (such as Instagram's Paid Partnership label or TikTok's sponsored content tag) or explicit verbal/textual disclosure within the Content.
Brand Users must not instruct Creators to conceal or omit required disclosures, or to make false or unsubstantiated claims about any product or service. Brand Users remain jointly responsible for ensuring that Content distributed on their behalf complies with applicable advertising laws.
UGC Roster provides educational resources regarding FTC compliance but does not provide legal advice. Both parties are responsible for obtaining independent legal counsel regarding their specific compliance obligations.
We encourage Brand Users and Creators to resolve disputes directly and in good faith. The Platform provides messaging tools and a structured revision workflow to facilitate this.
If a dispute cannot be resolved directly, either party may escalate the matter to UGC Roster by submitting a written dispute request via our support system. We will review submitted evidence and may request additional information from both parties. We will provide a non-binding recommendation within 10 business days of receiving all relevant materials.
During an active dispute, we may place a hold on any disputed payments. Funds will be released upon resolution of the dispute by mediation, mutual agreement, or other applicable means.
Our mediation services are provided as a courtesy and are non-binding. We are not a court of law and cannot compel either party. Our mediation recommendations do not constitute legal advice. Parties retain the right to pursue legal remedies as permitted by these Terms.
THE PLATFORM AND ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL MEET YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT ANY ERRORS OR DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL UGC ROSTER, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR:
IN ALL CASES, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO UGC ROSTER IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00).
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR LIABILITY, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN FULL. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless UGC Roster, its parent, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees arising out of or relating to:
We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume control of the defense of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.
Except as set forth below, you and UGC Roster agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Platform, or any transaction facilitated through the Platform ("Dispute") shall be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (available at www.jamsadr.com), as modified by these Terms.
The arbitration will be conducted in English. The seat and place of arbitration shall be Newark, New Jersey, unless the parties agree otherwise. The arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedy available at law or equity, including injunctive and declaratory relief, provided that any such relief is limited to the individual dispute.
YOU AND UGC ROSTER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency injunctive or other provisional relief from any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement of Intellectual Property Rights. Either party may also bring an individual claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies.
You may opt out of the arbitration agreement by sending written notice to gabe@ugcroster.com within 30 days of your initial Account registration. Your notice must include your name, email address, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.
If any portion of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. For any disputes not subject to arbitration under Section 18, you and UGC Roster consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Essex County, New Jersey.
These Terms commence on the date you first access the Platform and continue until terminated by either party.
You may terminate your Account at any time by contacting us at gabe@ugcroster.com. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any prepaid fees except as expressly provided in Section 6.6.
We may terminate or suspend your Account and access to the Platform at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Grounds for termination may include, but are not limited to:
Upon termination: (a) all rights granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease; (b) we may delete your Account and all associated data, subject to our data retention obligations; (c) provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, warranties, indemnification, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution) shall survive.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this document and, for material changes, provide notice via email or a prominent notice on the Platform at least 14 days before the changes take effect.
Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any modified Terms constitutes your acceptance of those modifications. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the Platform and terminate your Account.
The Platform may contain links to third-party websites, services, or resources. These links are provided for convenience only. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party services. Your access and use of third-party services is governed by their respective terms and policies.
The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by UGC Roster of the linked site or service. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party services you access through the Platform.
We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism, governmental actions, internet service provider failures, denial-of-service attacks, or any other cause beyond our reasonable control (a "Force Majeure Event"). We will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable following a Force Majeure Event.
Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, employment, or similar relationship between UGC Roster and any user. Creators are independent contractors and are not employees, agents, or representatives of UGC Roster or any Brand User. Creators are solely responsible for their own taxes, insurance, equipment, and business operations.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable Campaign agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and UGC Roster with respect to your use of the Platform and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. A waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of UGC Roster to be effective.
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may freely assign these Terms, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, upon notice to you.
We may provide notices to you via email to the address associated with your Account, via in-platform notification, or by posting to the Platform. Notices are effective upon delivery. You may provide notices to us at: gabe@ugcroster.com.
Section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
These Terms are written in English. If translated into any other language, the English version shall control in the event of any conflict.
You agree to comply with all applicable export and re-export control laws and regulations, including U.S. Export Administration Regulations. You represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country to which the export of services or data is restricted by law.
