1. Scope and acceptance
These terms govern your participation as a creator in the CityCAM service at citycam.app. “CityCAM”, “we” and “us” mean the operator of that service, not Paddle or Wise. Contact us at support@citycam.app. These terms supplement the CityCAM Terms of Service; they control creator rewards and contributions if there is a conflict on those subjects. Mandatory law remains unaffected.
The territorial and eligibility restrictions in the Terms of Service also apply to creators. A country listed in the model tools describes a target market; it does not itself permit operating the service in that country or override the current Wyoming eligibility restriction.
You must be at least 18, have legal capacity and, if acting for an organisation, authority to bind it. Provide accurate information and keep your account secure. A public pseudonym does not replace the verified legal identity required for payments. Applying does not guarantee approval, publication, demand or income.
Acceptance requires an explicit action from your signed-in account. We record the account, document version, document fingerprint, timestamp, interface language and acceptance location. Each version remains available at its versioned address. We do not treat an old application, an administrator's approval or silence as your acceptance.
2. Your legal responsibilities
You represent and undertake that your datasets, labels, descriptions, model design, publication request and intended uses comply with the laws and regulations applicable where you collect data, develop the model and propose that it be used. Before submitting a model for a market, you must identify and comply with relevant local recording, privacy, data-protection, image-rights, intellectual-property, AI and sector-specific requirements, and obtain necessary permissions, licences and notices.
Upload only material you created or are authorised to use for training, evaluation and the permissions in section 3. A photograph found online is not automatically available for those purposes. Minimise unnecessary personal data; remove or obscure identifying details where required. Do not upload confidential information or material obtained by unlawful recording, surveillance or access.
Do not submit models intended for stalking, harassment, unlawful surveillance, discriminatory decisions or other unlawful activities. Do not claim a safety, medical, biometric, law-enforcement or other regulated capability that has not been lawfully established and specifically accepted for publication. Describe limitations, geography and foreseeable misuse honestly. Tell us promptly if a rights complaint, change in law or technical issue makes your contribution unsafe or unlawful.
You are responsible for losses directly caused by your breach of these obligations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to reimburse CityCAM for reasonable, documented losses and third-party claim costs attributable to your unlawful contribution, infringement or material misrepresentation. We must notify you promptly, allow reasonable participation in the defence, mitigate loss and obtain your consent before a settlement imposes a non-monetary obligation on you. This does not cover loss caused by CityCAM's own breach, negligence or misconduct, or liabilities that cannot lawfully be shifted.
Our review or publication is not legal advice or certification. You remain responsible for matters within your control; end users remain responsible for their use and camera placement. Nothing transfers CityCAM's own statutory duties to you, makes you responsible for every unforeseeable misuse by others, or limits a third party's rights under law.
3. Ownership, licence and model review
You retain the rights you own in your contributions. You grant CityCAM a non-exclusive licence to store, reproduce, process and evaluate your submitted data; train and test the models you request; and review, host, distribute and run approved model artefacts within CityCAM, including on users' devices. We may use service providers for those purposes. This licence is limited to operating, supporting, securing and moderating the service; it does not authorise unrelated sale of your private dataset.
Your approved model's title, description, preview image and pseudonym may be public. Dataset photographs and private feedback are not made public merely because a model is published. Only use a preview image you are entitled to publish. A model artefact delivered to an end user's device cannot be guaranteed technically impossible to copy.
We may request evidence or corrections, decline publication, restrict a market or deactivate a model for quality, security, rights or legal concerns. Published versions are immutable; improvements are submitted as new versions. Test scores and confidence values do not guarantee real-world accuracy. You must not falsify test results, labels, usage or reviews.
4. Monthly pool and calculation
The pool is 25% of eligible net Premium subscription revenue recognised for a calendar month in UTC. Net revenue is verified subscription receipts less applicable sales taxes, actual payment-provider fees, refunds and chargebacks. Revenue is allocated over the paid service period: an annual purchase is recognised across its covered months, not wholly in the month of payment. No general operating-cost deduction is included in this formula. Unverified transactions or unsupported currencies are held for reconciliation rather than estimated as payable revenue.
Your share is the pool multiplied by your eligible model-use time divided by all creators' eligible model-use time for that month. Only server-verified use by genuinely paid Premium accounts qualifies. Guest, Free, complimentary/manual Premium, sandbox, your own model use by your own account, fabricated activity and unverified offline time do not qualify.
Simultaneous use is normalised across an account: the same model is not counted twice, and the account's counted time is divided among its distinct active models. Multiple devices therefore do not multiply the time credited for rewards. We use integer time units and deterministic cent rounding; the displayed percentages may be rounded for readability.
There is no guaranteed minimum income. If there is no eligible use, the pool is unallocated rather than paid to arbitrary creators. Dashboard estimates are provisional until reconciliation and closing. Later refunds, chargebacks or verified measurement corrections may produce a documented adjustment, including an offset against later rewards. We will explain material adjustments and allow you to challenge them through support. We do not retrospectively replace the agreed 25% formula by changing a dashboard setting.
5. Payouts, currencies and verification
Rewards are accounted for in EUR. After month-end reconciliation and approval, eligible balances are scheduled for payment subject to the published payout minimum, provider availability and verification. The minimum and transfer status are shown in Creator Studio. Smaller balances carry forward; no forfeiture follows merely from failing to reach a monthly minimum. An early sandbox closing is a test operation, not an early live payout entitlement.
Supply complete, accurate bank details for an account you are authorised to receive business payments into. The Wise-supported route determines the required recipient fields, countries and currencies. You must cooperate with proportionate identity, business, tax, source-of-funds or beneficiary checks requested by CityCAM, Wise or the receiving bank. Do not submit another person's account without lawful authority or use the programme to evade sanctions, taxes or verification. Never send passwords or login codes to support.
For a supported local-currency payout, Wise converts the EUR reward at the quote accepted when the transfer is created. An estimate or an old quote does not lock a future rate. CityCAM pays the Wise sending/conversion fee in addition to the EUR reward principal under this version; receiving-bank or intermediary charges, where applicable, may affect the amount received. A fee-limit review may delay a transfer rather than silently reduce your principal.
We may hold a payout while resolving missing details, suspected fraud, a legal restriction, disputed sources or a provider failure. We will explain what can be resolved when legally permitted. A transfer is not paid merely because it was requested. Failed or returned transfers are reconciled before retrying; do not create duplicate requests. A temporary hold does not by itself cancel an otherwise valid balance.
Paddle's role is the authorised reseller/Merchant of Record for customer purchases processed through Paddle. It is not the operator of the creator programme and does not promise or pay your creator reward under these terms. CityCAM pays its own approved obligations through Wise or another disclosed lawful provider; this programme is not an escrow account or a wallet for customer funds. Use of either provider requires its approval and applicable rules. These terms are not an assertion that a provider has approved every model, country or business arrangement.
6. Taxes and status
You are responsible for determining and meeting your tax, invoicing, registration and reporting obligations on creator income. We may request appropriate tax information and apply withholding or reporting required by law, with records of deductions. Paddle's treatment of customer sales taxes does not settle your creator-income taxes. Participation alone does not create employment, a partnership, equity ownership or authority to bind CityCAM; mandatory legal classification rules prevail.
7. Sandbox and launch
Test-mode subscriptions, simulated usage, sandbox balances and Wise Sandbox transfers have no monetary value and create no entitlement to a live payment. They remain separate from live records. Real payouts require an enabled live programme, verified payment arrangements and eligible live revenue. Successful testing does not itself activate that programme or transfer a test balance into real money.
8. Changes, suspension and leaving
We publish changes as new dated versions. Material changes to rewards, licences or responsibility require a fresh explicit acceptance before new submissions under those terms. They do not retrospectively remove accrued rights. If you do not accept, you may stop contributing and contact support about removing your models and settling any valid balance.
We may suspend new submissions, publication or payouts when reasonably necessary for a material breach, fraud, security or legal compliance, with notice and an opportunity to resolve the issue where appropriate. You may leave through support or account deletion. Existing end-user copies cannot always be recalled immediately; the licence continues only as needed for orderly withdrawal, already delivered functionality and legally necessary records. Valid accrued rewards remain subject to reconciliation, lawful deductions and recipient verification rather than automatic forfeiture on leaving.
Private creator data and acceptance records follow account deletion. Versioned public terms remain available without your identity; necessary financial records are retained separately as described in the Terms of Service. Contact support before deletion if you need a copy of your records or have an unsettled payout.
9. Applicable law and questions
The Wyoming and applicable United States federal-law provisions of the CityCAM Terms of Service apply to the extent permitted by law. Mandatory protections, non-excludable liabilities and the authority of competent courts and regulators remain unaffected. Nothing here guarantees that a choice of law displaces local rules where data is collected or a model is used.
For a model complaint, payment correction or programme question, contact support@citycam.app. Identify the model or month and describe the issue without sending unnecessary personal data.
