← Legal Center10. Protected Collaboration Payments, Fees, Payouts & Disputes
Policy
1. Protected Payment Model
Where enabled, a brand funds an approved collaboration through a licensed/approved payment provider before creator funds
are released according to accepted milestones. Influrios may call the feature “Protected Collaboration Payment,” “funded
milestone,” or similar. Influrios will not represent itself as an escrow provider unless the exact jurisdiction/provider structure
permits that representation.
2. Funding
A deal may require full prefunding or staged funding. The creator should not be shown a “Fully Funded” or equivalent
protected status until the provider has confirmed the required amount and Influrios has reconciled the transaction. Provider
settlement delays or reversals may affect status.
3. Milestones
Each milestone records amount, deliverable, due date, review period, revision limit, acceptance criteria, and release condition.
The accepted snapshot controls even if later admin settings change.
4. Fees
Influrios may charge platform service fees, collaboration fees, managed-introduction fees, managed-campaign fees, success
fees, processing/FX fees, cancellation fees, or other disclosed charges. Fee type, payer, basis, percentage/amount, minimum/
maximum, and rule version must be shown before acceptance and frozen into the deal’s fee snapshot. This policy does not
embed a mutable commercial percentage; the live admin fee matrix and accepted snapshot control. No hidden or retroactive
fee may be added to an accepted deal except a party-approved amendment or legally required charge.
5. Release
Creator payouts are initiated only after the applicable milestone is approved, auto-approved, or otherwise resolved in Creator’s
favor, subject to provider KYC/sanctions/risk rules. Influrios does not guarantee a bank settlement time once funds leave the
platform/provider workflow.
6. Auto-Approval
If enabled, the brand must approve, request an allowed revision, or open a good-faith dispute within the displayed review
window. Failure to act may result in auto-approval. A valid dispute pauses only the affected milestone where practical.
7. Disputes
Parties may submit briefs, les, messages, drafts, publication links, and other evidence. Influrios may administer a platform
decision or recommendation as permitted by provider rules and law, but is not a court or arbitration tribunal unless separately
agreed. Fraud, chargebacks, intellectual-property claims, or legal orders may require separate handling.

8. Refunds and Cancellations
Completed approved milestones generally remain payable. Work-in-progress may be subject to a disclosed kill fee. Future
unused funded amounts may be returned to the brand after applicable fees, disputes, provider restrictions, and legally required
reserves. A refund to the brand does not necessarily reverse a platform fee that was already earned under the accepted rules.
9. Chargebacks and Reversals
Card/bank/payment-provider reversals may cause a negative balance, payout delay, account restriction, or recovery action
where law and provider rules permit. Users must cooperate with evidence requests.
10. Taxes, KYC, and Sanctions
Creators/businesses must provide information required by the payment provider or law. Influrios may block funding or payout
when KYC, sanctions, tax, or risk checks are incomplete. Users are responsible for their own taxes except amounts Influrios/
provider is legally required to collect, withhold, or report.
