1. IDOL ELIGIBILITY AND ONBOARDING
To become an Idol, you must complete Idollist’s onboarding process. This includes: Submitting valid identity verification documentation and passing a liveness check through our approved verification provider; Providing accurate tax and banking information; Declaring whether your content contains explicit material; and Agreeing to comply with all applicable Idollist Policies. We reserve the right to request updated documentation or require re-verification at any time. If you upload content featuring any person other than yourself, you must verify their age and obtain documented consent for their appearance and the use of their likeness, in accordance with our Co-Authored Content Policy.2. IDOL EARNINGS AND COMMISSION STRUCTURE
As an Idol, you are entitled to receive Idol Earnings representing a percentage of the gross revenue received by Idollist from Users in connection with your Paid-for Services. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the standard Idol Earning Rate is 80% of gross revenue from Paid-for Services. The remaining 20% is retained by Idollist as Platform Fees. Idollist may, at its discretion, offer a Promotional Earning Rate — a temporary, fixed-period uplift to the standard earning rate for new or eligible Idols. The specific rate, eligibility criteria, and duration of any Promotional Earning Rate will be published on the Platform and may be changed or withdrawn at any time without amendment to these Terms. Full details of Idol Earnings and Platform Fees are set out in the Idol Earnings & Payout Policy. You are solely responsible for determining and paying any taxes applicable to your Idol Earnings. Idollist does not provide tax advice and accepts no liability for your tax obligations.2.1 TIPS
Fans may send voluntary Tips to Idols as an expression of appreciation. The following conditions apply to Tips: Tips are subject to the standard Platform Fee of 20%. The Idol receives 80% of each Tip amount, in line with the standard Idol Earning Rate. The minimum Tip amount is $1.00 USD. There is no maximum Tip amount. Tips become available for withdrawal within 7 days of receipt, subject to the standard settlement and compliance review process. Tips are non-refundable once submitted by the Fan. A Tip does not create any obligation on the part of the Idol to deliver content, respond, or provide any service in return.3. PAYOUTS AND WITHDRAWALS
You may request a withdrawal of your Idol Balance at any time, subject to: A seven (7) day settlement period following the original User transaction; and A minimum withdrawal threshold, as displayed on the Platform. Withdrawals are processed via your nominated payment method and are subject to applicable processing times, compliance checks, and third-party banking procedures. We aim to process all valid withdrawal requests within ten (10) Business Days. Delays may occur as a result of fraud reviews, technical issues, or delays caused by third-party payment providers. Any discrepancies in your Idol Balance must be reported to us within 30 days of the relevant transaction. We are not obliged to make retrospective adjustments beyond this period. Full details of our payout and withdrawal procedures are set out in the Idol Earnings & Payout Policy.4. REFUNDS, CHARGEBACKS, AND DISPUTES
Where a User receives a refund or successfully raises a chargeback in connection with your Paid-for Services, we reserve the right to: Deduct the disputed amount from your Idol Balance; or Recover it from future payouts where it has already been paid out. If your account exceeds a dispute rate of 1.5% (including chargebacks and refunds) over any 30-day period, we may apply an administrative fee of USD 50 (fifty US dollars) per dispute thereafter. This fee reflects the costs associated with fraud mitigation, compliance management, and maintaining Platform integrity. We may waive it at our discretion where we are satisfied that genuine efforts are being made to address the underlying cause. You acknowledge that: Not all disputes arise from card fraud; Disputes may result from misleading content descriptions, failure to deliver content as represented, or off-platform solicitations; and You are responsible for maintaining a positive experience for your audience and for taking steps to reduce avoidable disputes.5. OFF-PLATFORM TRANSACTIONS
Idollist is designed exclusively for on-platform transactions. As an Idol, you must not: Accept or solicit payments from Users outside the Platform; Promote external payment links, services, or methods to Users; or Deliver content or services off-platform in exchange for payment or other value. Breach of this section is grounds for immediate account suspension, withholding of outstanding payouts, and possible permanent removal from the Platform.6. REFERRAL PROGRAMME
Any registered User of the Platform — whether a Fan or an Idol — may participate in the Referral Programme by sharing their unique referral link or invite code with prospective creators. A referral is attributed to the referring User when an invited creator submits their application using the referring User’s unique link (idollist.co/apply?ref=CODE) or by manually entering the invite code in the application form. The code is recorded at the point of application submission and stored server-side — attribution does not rely on cookies or browser storage, ensuring it is preserved even if the applicant switches devices between applying and being approved.
A referral relationship is created only at the point the invited creator’s application is approved. No referral entitlement arises from applications that are pending review or that are rejected, and rejected applications are never displayed in the referring User’s referral dashboard.
Once a referral relationship is active, the referring User receives 5% of the invited Idol’s net earnings (after deduction of Platform Fees) for a period of 12 months from the date of approval. After 12 months, accruals for that Idol cease automatically. The invited Idol remains on the Platform and continues to earn at their standard rate — the referral reward does not affect their earnings in any way.
Referral rewards are funded from Idollist’s Platform Fee share. No additional Platform Fee is deducted from the referral reward itself — the Platform Fee shown against referral reward transactions will be $0.
Referral rewards accrue monthly. They appear in the referring User’s balance within approximately one week of the invited Idol receiving their own payout, and are paid out alongside the referring User’s next scheduled payout.
Self-referrals are not permitted. If the email address or payment details of an applicant match those of the referring User, the application will be rejected at the review stage and no referral relationship will be created.
Idollist reserves the right to withhold, reverse, or cancel referral rewards where fraud, abuse, or circumvention of the Programme rules is suspected, including (without limitation) the use of multiple accounts or fabricated applications.
Idollist may modify or discontinue the Referral Programme at any time. Changes will not affect referral relationships that are already active at the time the change takes effect — those relationships will continue for the remainder of their 12-month window on the terms that applied when they were created.
Full details of how referral rewards are calculated, tracked, and paid out are set out in the Idol Earnings & Payout Policy.
7. SET-OFF AND WITHHOLDING RIGHTS
We may offset any amount you owe us against any amount we owe you. This includes, without limitation: Reversed or clawed-back earnings; Administrative dispute fees; and Penalties arising from policy violations. We reserve the right to withhold payments in the following circumstances: Where fraud or abuse is suspected; Pending the outcome of a moderation or compliance investigation; or Where required to do so by law or in response to a law enforcement request.8. MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION
We may suspend or terminate your Idol account if: You breach these Idol Terms or any Idollist Policy; You engage in fraudulent, abusive, or harmful conduct; or We are required to do so by law, or consider it necessary in our sole discretion to protect the Platform or its Users. You may close your Idol account at any time by submitting a request to team@idollist.co. Closing your account does not affect any obligations or liabilities that arose before termination. Enforcement actions taken as a result of violations of the Content Moderation & Protection Policy or the Acceptable Use Policy may include deductions from your Idol Balance, temporary suspension, or permanent removal from the Platform. Idols whose accounts are suspended or terminated may request a formal review in accordance with our Complaints Policy. Appeals must be submitted within 7 calendar days of the enforcement action.9.

These Idol Terms form part of your overall agreement with Idollist and should be read alongside the General Terms & Conditions and all other applicable Idollist Policies. Any rights or remedies not expressly granted in these Idol Terms are reserved by Idollist.
