Creator Monetization Agreement
Version 0.4 — November 2, 2026
Aeon of Creators is operated by Dark Underworld Records & Nocturnal Fire Entertainment, LLC.
Signed separately, at eligibility. Never bundled into sign-up. HOUSE CHANNEL: the platform owner's own channel is not governed by this agreement — it monetizes from its first upload under the house ad account, with no gate and no revenue split. 1. ELIGIBILITY. You must be 18 or older. Ads switch on only when the channel holds ALL of: 250 subscribers, 11,000 views, 500 watch-hours, passed identity/ownership verification, and one content review.
2. YOUR OWN GOOGLE SITUATION. You monetize under your own AdSense/Ad Manager standing, connected through the platform structure. Aeon's ads never run through any other person's personal ad account, and yours is never used for another creator. 3. THE SPLIT. Of recognized ad revenue from your uploaded videos — after the ad network's own standard share — the platform keeps 55% and you receive 45%. Where Google's split-at-source rail applies, Google pays each side directly; Aeon never holds your ad money. For rails that pay the platform first, your share is paid by monthly Stripe Connect payout. 4. MONTHLY EARNINGS & PAYOUTS. Earnings close monthly. Finalized, payable balances are paid on the monthly cycle. Amounts under the payout threshold, not yet finalized, or under claim hold roll forward. 5. HOLDS. Revenue on content under a copyright claim or policy investigation may be held, redirected to a proven rights holder, or reversed for invalid traffic, consistent with the DMCA and Ads-Safety Protocols. Amounts already paid that are later reversed by the paying rail, charged back, or determined to derive from invalid activity may be deducted from your future balances or recovered from you. 6. TAXES & IDENTITY. You complete the paying rail's KYC/tax requirements (Google or Stripe). Aeon does not give tax advice. 7. TERMINATION. Fraud, invalid-traffic schemes, or repeat policy violations end monetization and may forfeit fraud-derived balances to the extent the paying rail and law allow.
8. MEMBERSHIPS AND OFFLINE SAVES. Separate from ads: once your Stripe onboarding (identity/tax, run by Stripe) is complete, you may sell channel memberships from your first day — no ad gate applies. You set your monthly price inside the platform band ($0.99-$49.99). Membership revenue is split at the same rate as advertising — the platform keeps 55% and you receive 45%; one split applies platform-wide. Members never receive video files: where your highest tier carries the downloads perk, members may save your videos inside the Aeon app for offline viewing in the app only (Terms, Section 18). Stripe processes payments, retries, cancellations, and refunds, and pays out on the same monthly cycle. 9. REVERSED PAYMENTS. Payments that are refunded, charged back, or reversed for fraud — by a member, a cardholder, or the payment processor — are deducted from your balance, including after payout where the rail reverses them. A balance owed back to the platform may be offset against future earnings or collected directly. 10. NO GUARANTEE OF REVENUE. The platform does not guarantee views, audience, ad fill, or earnings of any amount. Revenue depends on advertiser demand, viewer activity, and the paying rails' determinations.
