This Social Media Creator Agreement (“Agreement”) between Mirc Media Audience Measurement Private Limited (“GetEvangelized” or “we” or “us”) and you, or your legally authorized representative on your behalf (“Creator” or “you”) constitutes the terms and conditions for the Creator’s services (“Services”) set forth on the applicable Statement of Work (“SOW”). Each SOW will be subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

Clicking Accept
Clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Use, where it is made available to you by GetEvangelized in the user interface for any particular Service; or
Actually using the Services.
In this case, you understand and agree that GetEvangelized will treat your use of the Site as acceptance of the Terms of Use from that point onwards.
GetEvangelized calculates a Creator Valuation (“Creator Valuation”) for the Creator based on various factors including but not limited to the Creator’s activity on social networks, number of subscribers/followers, the engagement of the Creator’s subscribers/followers and other data points and metrics (the “Creator Valuation”). The Creator hereby acknowledges and agrees that our calculation of the Creator Valuation is an estimate only and we do not make any guarantees relating to the accuracy or the reliability of such Creator Valuation.
GetEvangelized displays the Creator Valuation and other relevant personal, demographic information which is either derived or shared by Creators, to Advertising agencies and brands (“Company”) to source and present sponsorship opportunities for Creators and thereby facilitate the promotion of the Company’s brand by the Creator (each a “Campaign”). GetEvangelized facilitates the discussion, negotiation and implementation of the SOW on behalf of the Company. The Statement of Work typically describes the Campaign and what is required of the Creator, the duration/timing of the Campaign and the fees associated with the Campaign.
You and GetEvangelized hereby agree as follows:
SERVICES; DELIVERABLES.
“Services” means the consulting services specified in each SOW.
Creator will perform the Services set forth in a SOW in a diligent and workmanlike manner. Creator shall not use any subcontractor to provide Services to GetEvangelized without GetEvangelized’s prior written approval. Each party acknowledges that the Agreement and any SOW’s are non-exclusive and GetEvangelized may contract with other parties for the procurement of comparable Services.
Creator agrees to submit each Deliverable for acceptance by the Company in the Campaign in a format specified by GetEvangelized prior to the Campaign Dates specified in the applicable SOW. If a Deliverable is not accepted due to not conforming with the agreed upon brand guidelines or requirements, GetEvangelized will provide Creator with notice of rejection, along with an explanation for the rejection and any revisions to be made to the Deliverables. Upon request by GetEvangelized,
Creator agrees to make reasonable edits in any Deliverable. If Creator does not make the requested revisions in order to conform with the agreed upon brand guidelines or requirements, GetEvangelized has the right to reject the Deliverables and withhold any payment otherwise due to Creator.
Creator understands that GetEvangelized or the Company may also want to promote Creator’s name, likeness, voice, and social media usernames (collectively, “Likeness”) in connection with the Deliverables and other Services that Creator performs under a SOW. Accordingly, you agree that GetEvangelized and Company may each use your Likeness in connection with promoting the Deliverables.
“Deliverables” means each item of social media content, including any photographs, video footage, artwork and written work identified in an SOW that you create (or any portion thereof), including any that you may make alone or jointly with others, in connection with performing Services, whether or not they are eligible for patent, copyright, trademark or other legal protection.
RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES.
Creator is an independent contractor and is not an agent or employee of GetEvangelized or Company or any of their affiliates or subsidiaries, and has no authority to bind GetEvangelized or Company by contract or otherwise. Creator shall not be entitled to any benefits accorded to GetEvangelized’s or Company’s employees, including without limitation worker’s compensation, disability insurance, or any GetEvangelized or Company sponsored benefits. Creator shall be responsible for providing, at Creator’s expense, and in Creator’s name, as applicable, unemployment, disability, and worker’s compensation. Creator acknowledges and agrees that Creator is not protected by any GetEvangelized insurance policy for any injury or damage that may be sustained by Creator or Creator’s property while rendering Services. Creator will perform the Services as agreed to with GetEvangelized, but Creator will determine, in Creator’s sole discretion, the manner and means by which the Services are accomplished. GetEvangelized has no right or authority to control the manner or means by which the Services are accomplished.
PAYMENT; TAXES.
Fee; Expenses.
GetEvangelized will pay Creator the fee specified in a SOW for all Deliverable(s) that conform with the agreed upon brand guidelines, requirements and deadlines within forty five (45) business days of Creator posting the Deliverable(s) to the GetEvangelized Dashboard and the social media platform(s), as accepted by the Company. Unless otherwise specified in a SOW, GetEvangelized will not compensate or reimburse Creator for any expenses incurred in connection with performing Services. You agree that any payments made to you for Campaign Posts that are not delivered or not delivered in conformance with the terms of this SOW shall be repaid to GetEvangelized within seven (7) days of GetEvangelized’s request for repayment.
Taxes.
Creator shall be solely responsible for any and all central, state, local, and transaction taxes (including sales, use, consumption, value-added and similar taxes), disability insurance, unemployment taxes, and other payroll type taxes applicable to the compensation earned hereunder. Creator hereby indemnifies and holds GetEvangelized harmless from, any claims, losses, costs, fees, interest, penalties, liabilities, damages or injuries suffered or arising out of Creator’s failure with respect to its obligations in this Section. GetEvangelized may deduct or withhold any withholding taxes that GetEvangelized may be legally obligated to deduct or withhold from any amounts payable to Creator under the Agreement, and payment to Creator as reduced by such deductions or withholdings will constitute full payment and settlement of amounts payable to Creator under the Agreement. If a tax authority subsequently finds that GetEvangelized’s withholding tax payment was insufficient and requires additional payments, GetEvangelized will make such payments and Creator will reimburse GetEvangelized for such additional withholding tax payments. Within a reasonable period, GetEvangelized will provide Creator with documentation evidencing its withholding tax payments.
OWNERSHIP; LICENSE.
Ownership of Deliverables.
Creator will retain all ownership rights in the Deliverables, subject to the terms of a license provided to Company Materials (as defined below) and any other third party materials incorporated therein, unless otherwise specified in any SOW.

GetEvangelized may provide you with materials owned by the Company or another third party (“Company Materials”), for use by you solely in connection with the Deliverable(s). Company Materials shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the respective third party, as applicable, including all intellectual property rights therein. You will not do anything nor cause anything to be done to encumber any right of a third party in the Company Materials. GetEvangelized hereby grants or will cause to be granted to Creator a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, copy, distribute, display, perform and transmit the Company Materials solely as incorporated in the Deliverables. The Creator agrees that the Deliverables may not be publicly displayed by Creator or any third party other than as specified in an SOW without the prior written consent of GetEvangelized.
Clearances.
Creator will be solely responsible for obtaining, at its expense, all third-party rights, licenses, clearances, authorizations, permissions and releases (including those relating to copyrights, trademarks, or privacy and publicity rights) necessary in order for: (a) Creator to perform, produce and create the Deliverables; and (b) GetEvangelized and the Company to use any Deliverables, including any third-party materials included within or embodied by the Deliverables. If persons appearing in any Deliverables are under the age of majority in their state, province, or country of residence, a release signed by their parent or legal guardian is required. Creator shall provide each release on the GetEvangelized dashboard at or prior to the time of submitting the Deliverables for acceptance. Deliverables must not contain any personally identifiable information (such as license plate numbers, personal names, email addresses or street addresses) of any person other than Creator. In the event that such material of the Creator is included, Creator acknowledges and agrees that such information will be disclosed publicly and Creator is solely responsible for any consequences thereof.

The receiving party may disclose the Confidential Information to its employees, agents, financial advisers and independent contractors with a need-to-know, only as necessary to fulfill the Services and provided such parties have executed a written non-disclosure agreement substantially as protective of Confidential Information as this Agreement.
