Ads Revenue Sharing Terms

These Ads Revenue Share Terms (“Terms”) are between you and X Corp., on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (collectively, “X” or “we”) and govern your participation in X’s Ads Revenue Share Program (the “Program”). In these Terms, “Affiliate” means any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with X, and “you,” “your,” or “Creator” means you, an individual, company or any other entity with a X account participating in the Program. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant you are authorized on such entity’s behalf.

To participate in the Program, you must be at least 18 years old, and meet the other eligibility requirements set forth in Section 2.

In addition to these Terms, your participation in this Program is subject to the X Terms of Service, the X Privacy Policy, the X Rules and policies, the Creator Monetization Standards, and all policies incorporated therein (collectively, the “X User Agreement”).

Please read these Revenue Share Terms carefully to make sure you understand the applicable terms, conditions and exceptions.  IF YOU LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES, THESE TERMS CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT APPLY TO YOU ABOUT RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, INCLUDING A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO BRING CLAIMS AS CLASS ACTIONS AND THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT, AND A LIMITATION ON YOUR RIGHT TO BRING CLAIMS AGAINST X MORE THAN 1 YEAR AFTER THE RELEVANT EVENTS OCCURRED, WHICH IMPACTS YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS IF ANY DISPUTE WITH X ARISES.  SEE SECTION 13 FOR DETAILS ON THESE PROVISIONS.

 

1. Acceptance

By participating in the Program (if you are approved by X) or otherwise indicating your acceptance (for example, by agreeing to these Terms when applying to the Program, clicking “Join & set up payouts,” etc.), you represent and warrant that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms. By accepting these Terms, you further consent to X’s use of the data that you provide, we collect about you, or we infer about you to consider your acceptance to the Program. If you do not agree, do not participate in the Program.

 

2. Revenue Share Program

X Ads Revenue Sharing lets you share revenue from verified users’ impressions of ads displayed in replies to content you post on X. Payments to you are made through our Payment Partner if the revenue share reaches a certain threshold during our periodic payout schedule. X may amend or cancel the Program at any time in its sole discretion, including for business, financial, or legal reasons. 

 

3. Eligibility, Sign Up, & Cancellation

In order for you to be eligible to be paid a share of ads revenue, your posts on X must cumulatively generate more than 5 million impressions within the last three months, you must have over 500 followers, you must be subscribed to either Blue or Verified Organizations, and you must set up an account with our payment processor. Additionally, prior to payout your account will be reviewed, including, for example, to ensure your posted content does not violate the X User Agreement. The eligibility requirements for the Program can be found in our Help Center, and may change from time to time, including for any business, financial, or legal reasons.  

To join the Program you must additionally satisfy, for example, the following conditions: 

  • must be in a supported country,

  • must have an active account with our payment processor (payments will be made via and are subject to the terms of our payment processor),

  • must have a X account that remains active and in compliance with the X User Agreement,

  • must be subscribed to Blue or Verified Organizations,and

  • must maintain 5 million impressions on your cumulative posts within the last 3 months.

If your account does not meet an eligibility requirement or violates the X User Agreement, you will be notified via email. You will have an opportunity to appeal by writing to X by responding to the email we will send to you. If you do not appeal or we reject your appeal, you will be ineligible to join the Program. X reserves the right to reject applications at its sole discretion, including for business, financial, or legal reasons.

If your participating account violates our rules and policies, including X User Agreement, we will notify you and pause your participation in the program. You will have an opportunity to appeal by writing to X by responding to the email we will send to you with meaningful evidence that your account should be reinstated. If the evidence is insufficient, or you fail to respond, we will cancel your participation and block future eligibility. 

If you wish to cancel your participation from the Program, you can do so by following the steps to cancel via the Help Center guide. Upon cancellation, you will be paid your remaining funds above the minimum amount of $10.00 USD. You waive your right to all other funds. 

Please note that employees of X, and Our Services and Corporate Affiliates are ineligible for participation in the Program, unless otherwise pre-approved by authorized personnel of X.

 

4. Some Rules & Restrictions

Your share of the revenue from this program is not transferable between X accounts.

Your participation in the Program must not violate any applicable laws, rules or regulations. You are solely responsible for any violation by you or your account of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. We may impose additional limits based on anti-money laundering, sanctions or anti-fraud laws or policies, including, without limitation, we may block any transaction it determines to be, but not limited to, fraudulent or illegal activity or potentially fraudulent or illegal activity. We may withhold from our revenue sharing calculation any activity that we believe were due to any breach of the X User Agreement or that we believe may involve a violation of any law and/or any revenue generated from content from any blocked transactions. You may not participate in the Program if you are a person with whom U.S. persons are not permitted to have dealings pursuant to economic sanctions, including, without limitation, sanctions administered by the United States Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control or any other applicable sanctions authority (“Prohibited Person”). This includes, without limitation, persons located in, or a citizen of, or ordinarily resident in, the following countries and regions: Cuba, Iran, the Crimea Region of Ukraine, North Korea and Syria. You represent and warrant that you are not a Prohibited Person. You may not participate in the Program if you work for a government institution, are an elected official, are a political party, or engaged in any election-related activity. 

Violation of any of the above rules and restrictions may lead to termination of your participation in the Program and/or your eligibility to receive any share of the revenue. 

 

5. Payments

The ads revenue share payment is based on the number of verified users’ impressions of ads served in replies to posts. We reserve the right at any time to modify how our payment calculation is structured, including, for example, adding or removing revenue types, for any reason, including business, financial, or legal reasons. Please see the Help Center for the most updated information. 

Payouts are paid net of any payment provider processing fees. If you are found to artificially inflate the number of views on your posts through promoted post, manual, automated, or other means, or manipulate the platform to alter the views on your posts, you will forfeit any amount due to you and you will be terminated from the Program. If at any point X finds content to be manipulated, including, for example using bots or other automated means, or artificially inflated, X reserves the right to adjust ant future payments, or to suspend payment.

Payouts occur on a regular basis. Once you earn more than $10.00 USD, you are entitled to transfer the money from your payment processor account into your external bank account.  Accounts that fall below the impressions threshold will remain in the Program and will not be removed from the Program but funds accrued below $10 will not be paid out.

X reserves the right to issue payouts to you at any cadence in its sole discretion, including for business, financial, or legal reasons.

X uses a third party payment processor (“Payment Processor”) to make its revenue share payments to you. To be part of the Program, you will first need to create an account with the Payment Processor who will require you to meet certain identity verification requirements, such as providing proof of identity and/or residence. If you provide the Payment Processor an address outside of the State of California, you verify that you perform the services under these Terms outside of the State of California.  You will also be required to submit payment and tax information to the Payment Processor. If X or the Payment Processor determines as part of the payment onboarding process, or later, that payments cannot be made to you for any reason, you cannot be part of the Program. By accepting these Terms, you expressly authorize X to access data about your Payment Processor connected account activity and transactions and to conduct other activities in connection with the processing and monitoring of revenue share payments under these Terms. 

 

6. Taxes & Fees

You are responsible for paying applicable Taxes (as defined below), if any, due to taxing authorities arising from, or in connection with, your receipt of any payment of a share of the revenue earned by you. X may deduct or withhold any Taxes that it may be legally obligated to deduct or withhold from any amounts payable to you, and payment to you as reduced by such deductions or withholdings will constitute full payment and settlement of the amounts payable under these Terms. Each party will provide the other party with any tax documentation reasonably necessary to make or receive payments hereunder. As used above, “Taxes” means any income, stamp, sales, use, value-added or other taxes, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings.

 

7. Termination or Withdrawal from Program

These Terms will commence on the date you click to accept these Terms (regardless of whether or not you are accepted into the Program) and will continue until terminated by either party as provided in this Agreement. You may opt out of participating in the Program at any time by providing written notice to X by writing to Paid Support here. X may terminate these Terms, at any time, with or without cause, in X’s sole discretion, including, without limitation, if you misrepresent yourself or your account; violate these Terms, the X User Agreement, or any applicable laws; or no longer meet the eligibility requirements to participate in the Program.

In addition, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to: limit the number of ads served in replies to posts applicable to your account, or limit the share of revenue that may be paid to you, including based on volume or time frame; suspend, remove or disable access to your account or cease providing you with all or part of the Program; remove you from the Program; and/or withhold, suspend, recoup or set-off revenue share payments (including any amount that may have been attributable to or from past or future account) if we believe you or your account is in breach or violation of these Terms, the X User Agreement or any applicable laws. We will have no liability for taking any of the above actions.

Upon termination of these Terms and/or your participation in the Program: (a) the rights and obligations under these Terms will immediately cease, (b) any and all liabilities accrued before the effective date of the termination will survive, subject to the following: (i) if you have met the Minimum Payment Threshold at the time of termination of these Terms, the Payment Processor will attempt to pay you for amounts  and unpaid. If, however, the Payment Processor is unable to remit payment to you due to circumstances beyond its control, you will automatically forfeit all such amounts and X will not owe any and all such amounts; or (ii) if you have not yet met the Minimum Payment Threshold, no amounts will be paid or owed to you. 

 

8. Confidentiality.


During and after your participation in the Program, you shall not disclose any proprietary and/or non-public information of X provided to you or to which you have access in connection with the Program (“Confidential Information”), except as authorized in writing by X or as required by law or court order, provided: (a) you will promptly notify X in writing of the requirement for disclosure, and (b) disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information legally required.

13. Dispute resolution agreement--Binding arbitration and class action waiver.

THIS SECTION APPLIES TO YOU ONLY IF YOU LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES.  PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

General. The following provisions are important with respect to the agreement between you and X regarding X’s features and services memorialized by these Terms. Subject to the provisions below, including exceptions set forth in this Section, you and X agree to arbitrate any disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms and/or your participation in the Program (individually a “Dispute,” or more than one, “Disputes”).

Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes between you and X can be resolved informally. You may contact us by writing to Paid Support here. When you contact us, please provide a brief description of the nature and bases for your concerns, your contact information, and the specific relief you seek. The parties shall use their best efforts through this support process to settle any Dispute. You and we agree that good faith participation in this informal process is required and must be completed as set forth above before either party can initiate arbitration regarding any Dispute.

BINDING ARBITRATION. If we cannot reach an agreed upon resolution with you regarding a Dispute within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution commences under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either you or we may initiate binding arbitration, which will be the sole means to resolve any Dispute, subject to the terms set forth below and except for claims brought in small claims court or unless you opt out. Specifically, all Disputes shall be finally resolved exclusively through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in San Francisco, CA, and through a single mutually agreed upon arbitrator, in accordance with the provisions of the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1.800.778.7879. YOU AND X HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR JUDGE.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity, provided that such relief (including injunctive relief) is limited to your individual circumstances. Notwithstanding the requirements of this arbitration provision, if the Dispute involves a claim for public injunctive relief, you may choose to sever that claim from the arbitration proceeding and bring it in any court of proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

YOU HAVE ONE YEAR TO BRING A CLAIM AGAINST X, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT.  You must bring any claim against X within one (1) year after the date on which the claim arose or, unless applicable law provides that the normal statute of limitations for that claim may not be shortened by agreement. If you do not bring a claim within this period, you waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights you have to such claim and X will have no liability with respect to such claim.

Filing Process and Costs. To start an arbitration, you can get submission instructions at: https://adr.org/Support. X will pay the consumer’s initial filing fee of $200 and costs of the arbitration up to the extent required and as defined in the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, but in no greater amounts other than sort forth in this provision. If, however, the arbitrator determines that claims were filed for the purposes of harassment or were patently frivolous, the arbitrator can reallocate the arbitrator’s compensation and administrative fees, including the filing and hearing fees, as set forth in the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules.  The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorneys’ fees in certain cases. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

Location. Arbitration will take place on a documents-only basis or you can choose to conduct the proceedings by telephone, video, or in-person.  For in-person arbitration, the proceedings will be in the city or county where you reside or, if you do not reside in the United States, in the State of California, County of San Francisco.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND WE FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY CLAIMS MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT ON BEHALF OF, OR AS PART OF, A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION OR SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS. Unless you and we both agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings or more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

Severability. If it is determined that any part of this Dispute Resolution Agreement cannot be enforced as to a particular claim for relief or remedy (such as injunctive relief), then that claim or remedy (and only that claim or remedy) shall be severed and must be brought in a court of proper jurisdiction and any other claims must be arbitrated.

Exception - Litigation of Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.

30-Day Right to Opt Out. If you wish to opt out and not be bound by these arbitration provisions set forth above, you can send written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address:

X Corp.
Attn: Legal Department - Arbitration Opt Out
1355 Market Street, Suite 900
San Francisco, CA 94103

If you have already been accepted to the Program, you may submit your opt out notice by navigating to by writing to Paid Support here.

Your written notification must include your name, X account handle, the email address or phone number associated with your account handle, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve Disputes with X.

The notice must be sent within 30 days of your acceptance of these Terms, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those provisions.  Your decision to opt out of this arbitration provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with X or the delivery of features or services to you by X.  If you opt out of those provisions, X also will not be bound by them.

Changes to this Section. We will provide 60-days’ notice of any material change to this Dispute Resolution Agreement. Changes will become effective on the 60th day, and will apply prospectively only to any claims arising after the 60th day.

Choice of Law. THESE TERMS MEMORIALIZE A TRANSACTION IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE. THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND INTERPRETING CASE LAW GOVERN THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS, WITHOUT REGARD TO STATE LAW. To the extent state substantive law applies to any Dispute, the law of the State of California shall apply, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

Survival. This Dispute Resolution Agreement survives the end of the relationship between you and X, including cancellation of or unsubscribing from any services or communications provided by X.

 

14. Modification of terms.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms, from time to time. We will notify you of material revisions, for example via a service notification or an email to the email associated with your account. Your continued participation in the Program after changes have become effective will be deemed as your acceptance of such changes. If any changes are not acceptable to you, you may terminate your participation in the Program by providing written notice to X by writing to Paid Support here.

The Revenue Share Terms are written in English but are made available in multiple languages through translations. X strives to make the translations as accurate as possible to the original English version. However, in case of any discrepancies or inconsistencies, the English language version of the Revenue Share Terms shall take precedence. You acknowledge that English shall be the language of reference for interpreting and constructing the terms of the Revenue Share Terms.

Nothing in this Agreement will prevent X from developing features, products or services that may be competitive with you or any end users’ features, products or services.

b. Governing Law.

d. Waiver. The failure of X to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. X’s waiver of any default is not a waiver of any subsequent default.

e. Survival; Severability. Any obligations, which expressly or by their nature continue after termination of these Terms, shall survive and remain in effect after such happening. Unenforceable provisions will be modified to reflect the parties’ intention, and remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full effect.
