Creators
Last updated: August 12, 2026
In plain language
This Creator Agreement is between you ("Creator") and SINAI Productions, an Israeli sole proprietorship owned by Liran Dandekar ("SINAI", "we"). It governs original work you publish on sinaicinema.com ("Service"). It supplements โ and where they conflict, takes precedence over โ the general Terms of Service for matters relating to creator-published work.
How you accept this Agreement. You accept this Agreement by clicking "Agree and publish" in the modal that appears the first time you try to publish a project (or any subsequent publish after a material version change). We record your acceptance, the timestamp, and the version of the Agreement then in force on your profile. Uploading and keeping work as a private draft does not trigger this Agreement; publishing it does. If you don't accept any term in this Agreement, do not publish.
You retain all copyright, moral rights (subject to the limited waiver in section 2 for translation and accessibility derivatives), and other intellectual property rights in the work you upload. SINAI claims no ownership of your scripts, films, characters, music, or any creative element you bring.
You also retain the right to publish the same work on other platforms (no exclusivity required โ but see section 6 on license brokerage for one narrow exception).
To run the Service, we need certain rights from you. By publishing, you grant SINAI a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to:
What this license does NOT permit. The license above does NOT permit using your work as training data for foundation AI models, whether operated by SINAI or third parties, except for the enumerated platform-delivery derivatives above operated on existing third-party models under their commercial terms at the time the derivative is generated. Any future SINAI training initiative must be offered to you as an opt-in addendum, separately from this Agreement.
This license:
When you publish, you represent and warrant that:
Every published work passes through SINAI's AI QA pipeline before going live:
QA is not a rights clearance. QA evaluates technical quality, content safety, and narrative fit only. It does not verify ownership, license, or third-party rights in any element of your submission. Your warranties under section 3 are NOT modified or waived by QA approval, by SINAI's choice to publish, promote, or feature the work, or by any communication from SINAI staff regarding the work.
If a soft gate fails:
Use of the appeals address is reserved for genuine QA disputes; abuse (repeated frivolous appeals) may result in suspension of the appeal channel for that account.
When SINAI monetizes the Service, the share of net revenue attributable to your work is split per revenue stream as follows. The default rates below apply only to the streams enumerated; new monetization mechanics introduced after the date of this Agreement are governed by section 5(d).
(a) Advertising revenue
Standard rate: 61% to Creator, 39% to SINAI.
Founding Creator rate: 70% to Creator, 30% to SINAI โ for 24 months from the day SINAI first enables advertising on the Service, not from the day you were admitted. Advertising does not exist at the date of this Agreement, so a term measured from admission would expire against revenue that was never available to earn. If you qualify for Founding rates (section 7) only after advertising has launched, your 24 months run from the day you qualify. This term is not reset, paused, or restarted by SINAI's corporate conversion or assignment.
After 24 months: Founding Creators revert to the standard 61/39 rate, retaining all other Founding Creator benefits (priority QA, direct access to a SINAI representative, brand listing).
(b) Tips (viewer-sent Tokens)
Standard rate: 85% to Creator, 15% to SINAI.
Founding Creator rate: 90% to Creator, 10% to SINAI, for the Founding term defined in section 7. After the term you revert to the standard 85/15.
Calculated on net revenue, per the order-of-operations rule below. For Token-funded tips the merchant fee was already paid at Token purchase, so net equals gross.
(c) Channel memberships
Standard rate: 85% to Creator, 15% to SINAI. A membership is bought from one creator, so it is not pooled or allocated by watch-time โ it is paid to that creator.
Founding Creator rate: 90% to Creator, 10% to SINAI, for the Founding term defined in section 7 โ 24 months counted from the day SINAI first enables advertising. The term is not reset, paused, or restarted by SINAI's corporate conversion or assignment. After the term you revert to the standard 85/15.
(d) Advertising launch โ opt-out, with 14 days' notice
Advertising is not enabled at the date of this Agreement. When SINAI first enables advertising on the Service โ whether platform-wide or for your work specifically โ it will give you at least 14 days' in-app and email notice in advance.
Ads are on by default at the effective date, at the revenue-share rates in 5(a). This default reflects the economic reality that ads earn the Creator money; SINAI does not assume that silence means refusal of revenue.
You may opt your account or any individual project out of advertising at any time from your studio settings โ before the effective date, or any time thereafter. Opt-outs apply prospectively; ad revenue accrued before opt-out remains payable to you under 5(a).
(e) Other future monetization streams
SINAI may introduce additional revenue mechanics over time โ examples include merchandise, paid windows, branded content, scheduled-release purchases, third-party API revenue share, or licensing surfaces not contemplated at the date of this Agreement.
For any such new stream other than advertising (which is governed by 5(d) above), SINAI will publish the applicable revenue-share terms before the stream is enabled on your work, and will give you at least 30 days' notice to opt your work in or out. Unlike advertising, these streams are opt-in โ silence is treated as refusal โ because their fit with a given creator's work varies in ways ad revenue does not.
The 61/39 default does not automatically extend to streams not enumerated in 5(a)โ(c) above. If SINAI enables a new non-advertising stream without publishing its terms and giving the 30-day notice, the 61/39 standard rate applies as a fallback until SINAI cures.
Order of operations โ fees first, then the split. Every revenue share in this section is applied to net revenue, never to gross. Third-party transaction costs are deducted from the gross amount first; the resulting net is then divided between you and SINAI at the applicable rate.
This is deliberate, and it cuts both ways. It means SINAI does not absorb transaction fees on your behalf โ but it also means you and SINAI are on the same side of every fee, with the same interest in keeping them low, rather than SINAI needing to price around a cost you never see. A gross-basis split makes small transactions structurally unprofitable to serve, which ends with small tips and cheap membership tiers being discouraged or removed. We would rather keep them available.
"Net revenue" means gross revenue attributable to your work, less third-party costs directly attributable to the transaction, including:
Token-funded tip carries no per-transaction fee at the moment of the tip, because the merchant fee was already paid when the viewer purchased the Token pack. For those tips, net equals gross.
Attribution method. For ad revenue, in proportion to verified watch-time on your work versus total platform watch-time. Where ad fill or eCPM varies materially by content category, attribution is computed on a per-category basis (revenue earned against your category ร your share of category watch-time) rather than uniformly across the platform โ this protects both high-CPM creators and SINAI's ability to operate categories with different economics. For tips, 100% of the gross sent to your work, less fees and SINAI's share. For subscriptions, in proportion to your work's share of subscriber watch-time during the billing period.
A tip is paid in the currency it was sent in. A tip sent in Tokens reaches you as Tokens, credited to your balance and spendable on production immediately. A tip sent in money reaches you as money, credited to your earnings balance and withdrawable once creator payouts open. SINAI does not convert one into the other on your behalf, in either direction.
This is deliberate. A Token tip was funded from a Token pack the viewer already paid for, so converting it back to money would have SINAI buying back its own credit at a price it does not control. Keeping each tip in its own currency also means the merchant fee is charged exactly once, at the point the viewer actually paid it. The Token economy stays closed โ no viewer withdraws Tokens as cash โ and creator money payouts are not active until SINAI launches them. See also Terms ยง 7.
Chargebacks against Tokens already spent. Tokens spent on completed AI jobs represent real third-party API costs SINAI has already paid. If a viewer charges back a Token purchase after the Tokens have been spent on AI jobs, SINAI may net the unrecovered cost against your accrued earnings; if your earnings are insufficient, your account may be suspended pending settlement and SINAI may pursue the unpaid balance.
Anti-manipulation. SINAI may withhold, claw back, or void tip earnings determined in good faith to result from self-tipping, wash trading, collusive transactions, stolen-card transactions, or other manipulation. Such determinations are not subject to the standard appeal under section 10, though SINAI will document its reasoning and provide it to you on request.
SINAI may, from time to time, broker a third-party deal for your work โ for example, an exclusive streaming window with a traditional distributor, a festival license, or a remake / format option. This is opt-in per deal: we ask, you decide.
Brokerage split: 80% to Creator, 20% to SINAI (of the net deal value after legal and processing fees).
Threshold for brokerage to apply: feature films must be offered at $50,000 USD or above; short films at $25,000 USD or above. Below these thresholds, SINAI takes no brokerage cut โ we just connect you and step aside.
Exclusivity: only the specific window agreed in writing per deal. We do not require platform-wide exclusivity.
SINAI's brokerage role is non-exclusive โ you are free to seek and accept deals directly. The 80/20 split applies only when SINAI actively sources and negotiates the deal.
No oral modification. Any waiver, modification, or side-letter of brokerage terms โ including the thresholds, the split, or any exclusivity โ is binding only if executed in a written, signed amendment delivered through SINAI's legal address (legal@sinaicinema.com). Discord, WhatsApp, social-media DMs, email exchanges, in-app messages, and statements by SINAI personnel (including the founder) do not constitute an amendment.
Mid-brokerage unpublish. Once you countersign a brokerage deal under this section, you may not unpublish the work in a manner that breaches the brokered deal. If you unpublish in breach, you (not SINAI) are liable to the third-party licensee; SINAI may withhold the creator's share of the deal value until the dispute is resolved or set off against damages SINAI is required to pay.
When Founding terms begin, and how long they run. Admission to the Founding Creator program is by invitation and is not itself conditional. You qualify for the Founding rates in section 5 โ 90/10 on memberships, 90/10 on tips, and 70/30 on advertising โ on the day your third work that has passed QA review is published, provided that happens by the deadline below.
The rates apply from the day you qualify. The 24-month term, however, is counted from the day SINAI first enables advertising โ or from the day you qualify, if you qualify later than that. Advertising does not exist at the date of this Agreement, and memberships and tips launch before it does. Counting the term from admission would spend it against revenue that was never available to earn; counting it from advertising means the months you earn at Founding rates before advertising launches do not consume the term at all. At the end of the 24 months all three rates revert to standard (85/15 on memberships and tips, 61/39 on advertising) and every other Founding benefit continues.
The deadline is the later of (i) SINAI's public launch date, and (ii) 30 days from the date you were admitted to the program. SINAI will show you the exact date, and your progress toward it, in your studio.
Until then you are a Founding Creator with a provisional badge and the standard rates in section 5. Nothing is withdrawn if you do not reach it โ the Founding rates simply do not commence, and you keep every other benefit of the program. If you miss the deadline, SINAI may at its discretion extend it; it will not retroactively remove rates already commenced.
The Founding Creator program is a curated cohort. Current target size: the first 50 creators on the platform, by invitation, before or at public launch. This section is the controlling definition of Founding Creator status across all SINAI documents.
Benefits include:
Admission is by invitation. SINAI may add or remove forward benefits to the program over time, but will honor all three Founding rates for the full 24-month term as measured above, except as provided in the revocation clause below.
Revocation for cause. SINAI may revoke Founding Creator status โ including the 70/30 rate for the remaining term โ upon a material breach of the Content Policy or this Agreement, including breaches discovered later concerning previously-published work. Revenue accrued prior to revocation, and brokerage deals already in force, remain payable to you. Revocation is appealable per section 10.
When creator cash-out is active:
Pending balances and corporate conversion. All accrued, unpaid Creator balances โ including tip balances accrued before cash-out launches โ will be assumed in full by any successor entity that SINAI assigns this Agreement to (see section 14), with no break in the obligation, no reset of accrual periods, and no requirement that you re-establish the balance after assignment.
You can unpublish a project from your studio dashboard at any time. When you do:
If you also want your account deleted (not just specific projects), use the "Delete account" option in your settings or email privacy@sinaicinema.com. Personal data deletion follows the timelines in the Privacy Policy.
SINAI may suspend or terminate your account, or remove specific work, if:
If we terminate for a hard-limit violation under Content Policy ยง 2 (e.g., CSAM, real graphic violence, doxxing) or for fraud / manipulation under section 5, the action is immediate and unappealable.
Founding Creator economics on termination. Termination for cause by SINAI ends the Founding Creator 70/30 rate as of the termination date; no further 70/30 accrual. Voluntary creator-side termination ends both the rate and the obligation. Accrued Founding-period earnings remain payable per section 8 unless the termination was for fraud against the Service or a Content Policy hard-limit violation.
Accrued tip balance on termination. Accrued tip balances remain payable to you when cash-out launches, even if your account was terminated before that date, unless the termination was for (i) fraud against the Service, (ii) money-laundering or transaction manipulation under section 5, or (iii) a hard-limit Content Policy violation.
For all other terminations, you can appeal to disputes@sinaicinema.com. We'll respond in writing within 5 business days, including the specific clause your conduct was held to violate. Per EU DSA Art. 17 you have the right to a statement of reasons for any restriction or removal.
(a) You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SINAI Productions, Liran Dandekar in his personal capacity as proprietor, any successor entity to SINAI Productions (including any Israeli corporation Liran Dandekar forms to operate the Service), and SINAI's successors, employees, contractors, and agents (collectively the "Indemnitees") from and against any third-party claim, demand, suit, or proceeding (a "Claim"), and any damages, settlements, fines, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising therefrom, to the extent the Claim arises out of (i) work you publish on the Service, (ii) your breach of the warranties in section 3, or (iii) your breach of the Content Policy.
(b) As a condition of indemnification, the Indemnitees will (i) promptly notify you in writing of the Claim, (ii) give you sole control of the defense and settlement (provided you may not settle a Claim that imposes any non-monetary obligation on, or admits any liability of, an Indemnitee without that Indemnitee's prior written consent, not unreasonably withheld), and (iii) provide reasonable cooperation at your expense. The Indemnitee may participate in the defense at its own expense with counsel of its choice.
(c) Your indemnity does not apply to the extent a Claim arises from SINAI's material breach of this Agreement, SINAI's gross negligence, or SINAI's willful misconduct.
(d) Where you do not have resources to fund a defense, SINAI may assume the defense at its option and recover reasonable defense costs from any future earnings owed to you under this Agreement or the Terms.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SINAI'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) USD $500, OR (B) THE TOTAL REVENUE SHARE PAID TO YOU IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
This cap does NOT apply to SINAI's obligation to pay accrued, undisputed revenue share, accrued tip balances, or accrued brokerage proceeds, nor to liability under section 11 (Indemnification), nor to liability for SINAI's gross negligence or willful misconduct, nor to any liability that cannot be limited under Israeli law (including under the Standard Contracts Law 5743-1982).
This creator-specific cap supplements (and where more protective of you, supersedes) the general liability cap in Terms ยง 11.
SINAI may update this Agreement. Material changes (anything affecting revenue share, ownership, license scope, brokerage terms, or termination economics) will be announced via in-app notification at least 30 days before they take effect, and the publish-time click-wrap modal will re-prompt you to accept the new version before your next publish. If you don't accept a change, you can unpublish your work and close your account before the effective date โ your prior earnings still pay out under section 8.
SINAI may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to a successor entity (including any Israeli corporation Liran Dandekar forms to operate the Service), to an affiliate, or in connection with a merger, reorganization, sale of substantially all assets, or change of control. You hereby consent in advance to such assignment. The successor will assume all SINAI obligations under this Agreement โ including accrued revenue share, Founding Creator status and remaining term, accrued tip balances, and any active brokerage deals.
You may not assign this Agreement without SINAI's written consent. Any attempted assignment in breach of this section is void.
SINAI Productions is currently operated as an Israeli sole proprietorship. Until SINAI completes its planned corporate conversion (anticipated 2026โ2027), all SINAI obligations under this Agreement are obligations of the sole proprietorship as a business undertaking, satisfied from business assets. You agree that personal recourse against Liran Dandekar individually is limited to cases of his personal fraud or willful misconduct, to the extent permitted by Israeli law (including the Standard Contracts Law 5743-1982 and applicable case law on piercing the proprietor / business veil).
Entire agreement. This Agreement, together with the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Content Policy, DMCA Policy, and Refund Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and SINAI regarding your role as a Creator and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous communications, side-letters, or representations. No statement by SINAI personnel on Discord, WhatsApp, social media, email, or any other channel modifies this Agreement unless delivered as a written, signed amendment per section 6.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder remains in full effect and that provision is reformed to the minimum extent needed to be enforceable while reflecting the original intent.
No waiver. A failure or delay by SINAI to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by SINAI.
Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control โ including natural disasters, war, civil unrest, pandemic, government action, network outage, or third-party service failure โ provided the affected party promptly notifies the other and uses reasonable efforts to mitigate.
Language. This Agreement is issued in English. If we publish translations as a courtesy, the English version controls in the event of a discrepancy, except where mandatory Israeli consumer or contract law requires otherwise for Israeli residents.
Notices. Notices from you to SINAI under this Agreement must be sent to legal@sinaicinema.com with copy to the registered business address listed in the DMCA Policy. Notices from SINAI to you are deemed given when sent to the email address associated with your account.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Israel, excluding conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel. If you reside in the EU/UK or another jurisdiction that grants mandatory consumer protections, those protections apply and override this section to the extent required by your local law.
