Peakime Creator & Publishing Agreement

This Agreement applies to any person or entity that publishes Creator Content on Peakime, whether or not that content is currently monetised — individual creators, collaborating co-creators, and organisations or studios publishing under a Peakime account are all equally covered.

Where a work has more than one contributor — a writer and an illustrator, for example — each contributing creator is independently bound by this Agreement with respect to their own contribution, and each is independently responsible for having the rights necessary to publish their part of the work.

By publishing Creator Content, you grant PeakCraft a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, technically reproduce, encode, transcode, resize, format, display, stream, transmit, distribute, index, recommend and otherwise technically process that content to operate, secure and promote the Peakime Services, as more fully described in the Terms of Service.

This licence does not transfer copyright, and does not by itself grant PeakCraft rights to produce a film, anime, game, merchandise line or other adaptation of your work — it is limited to what is reasonably necessary to run the platform you chose to publish on.

By publishing Creator Content or entering a creator programme, you represent and warrant, on an ongoing basis for as long as your content stays published, that the following are true.

This is one of the most important sections of this Agreement, because it defines who is financially responsible when a third party brings a claim relating to something you published.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless PeakCraft Studios Private Limited, its officers, directors, employees, contractors and affiliates (the "Peakime Parties") from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, costs and reasonable legal fees arising out of or relating to:

Ordinary publication on Peakime never requires exclusivity. You may publish the same work on other platforms, unless and until you separately and expressly sign a different agreement that says otherwise.

This base Agreement deliberately does not contain exclusivity terms, curated-programme terms or adaptation-option terms — those live in their own dedicated agreements so that what you’re agreeing to is always specific, visible and opt-in, never buried in a general clause.

Where Peakime shares non-public information with you as a creator — beta features, unreleased programme terms, creator-dashboard analytics methodology, or other information reasonably understood to be confidential — you agree not to disclose it to third parties without PeakCraft’s consent, except where disclosure is required by law.

This obligation does not apply to information that becomes public through no fault of yours, information you already lawfully knew, or information you must disclose under a valid legal order, provided you give PeakCraft reasonable notice where legally permitted.

This Agreement applies for as long as you have Creator Content published on Peakime or participate in a Peakime creator programme.

You may stop publishing at any time by unpublishing or removing your Creator Content, or stopping participation in monetisation, through the tools Peakime provides. Withdrawing a work does not retroactively cancel a separate signed production or licensing agreement already in effect for that work, such as an active FANOA production agreement — that agreement is governed by its own terms.

PeakCraft may suspend or terminate your ability to publish or monetise, in whole or in part, where you materially breach this Agreement, the Terms of Service or applicable Peakime policy, consistent with the enforcement provisions of the Terms of Service.
