These Terms govern your use of Optimator AI, operated by OPTIMATOR SRL, a company incorporated under the laws of Romania, with registered office at Str. Nerva Traian 27-33, Sc. B, Et. 1, Ap. BIR. 6, Sector 3, Bucharest, Romania, Trade Register No. J2025062435003, CUI 52353277, represented by Eusebiu Ionescu Marian, Administrator. By using our website, signing up for a trial, or engaging our services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
01·Agreement
Agreement
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Optimator AI website (optimator.ai and related domains), applications, signup flows, and all services, software, and deliverables we provide (collectively, the "Services"). The Services are provided by OPTIMATOR SRL, a company incorporated under the laws of Romania, with registered office at Str. Nerva Traian 27-33, Sc. B, Et. 1, Ap. BIR. 6, Sector 3, Bucharest, Romania, Trade Register No. J2025062435003, CUI 52353277, represented by Eusebiu Ionescu Marian, Administrator ("Optimator," "Provider," "we," "us," or "our").
By accessing or using the Services, submitting a signup form, starting a free trial, or clicking Submit where these Terms are referenced, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any written statement of work, order form, or subscription agreement signed for a specific engagement (each, an "Engagement Agreement"), govern the Services. If an Engagement Agreement conflicts with these Terms, the Engagement Agreement controls for that engagement only.
The Services are offered solely to businesses, organizations, and professionals acting for purposes related to their trade or profession (business-to-business). The Services are not directed to or intended for consumers acting outside their trade, business, or profession. By using the Services, you represent that you are acting in a business capacity, and you agree that consumer-protection rules that would otherwise apply to a consumer transaction do not apply to your use of the Services, except where such rules apply mandatorily.
You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, demo, sales call, proposal, case study, testimonial, or marketing material that is not expressly included in these Terms or your Engagement Agreement. Optimator personnel cannot bind Optimator to terms, warranties, or performance guarantees not set out in writing and signed by the Administrator of OPTIMATOR SRL or an expressly authorized representative. Website copy, trials, demos, and case studies are illustrative only—not guarantees of future results.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always published at this URL with the last-updated date shown above. For minor or non-material changes, continued use of the Services after the revised Terms are posted constitutes acceptance. For material changes, we will give reasonable advance notice (for example, by email to active clients or an in-product notice) and, where required by law, obtain your active acceptance; if you do not agree to a material change, you may stop using the Services and cancel in accordance with Section 10 without penalty for the unused portion attributable to the change.
02·Definitions
Definitions
In these Terms:
"Client," "Customer," or "you" means the individual or legal entity using the Services or entering into an engagement with Optimator.
"User" means any person who accesses the Services under a Client account, including employees and contractors of the Client.
"AI agents," "agents," or "automations" means software workflows, integrations, prompts, and configurations we design, deploy, or operate on your behalf.
"Service Partners" or "Operators" means human personnel—including back-office staff, coordinators, and specialists—and independent contractors, agencies, or companies that Optimator engages to perform tasks for Clients under Optimator's managed or done-for-you services. Service Partners are not employees of Optimator or of Client.
"Assistant Work" means tasks, messages, bookings, follow-ups, reports, and other operational work performed by Service Partners, Operators, or AI agents on your behalf.
"Assistant Issues" means any problem arising from Assistant Work, including errors, delays, omissions, negligence, unavailability, or failure to meet expectations.
"Free Trial" means any period during which Services are provided without charge, as described on our website or in your onboarding materials (including our 30-day trial offer where applicable).
"Fees" means all amounts payable for Services, including subscriptions, setup fees, usage charges, and any taxes.
"Data Processing Agreement" or "DPA" means the written data-processing terms governing Optimator's processing of personal data on your behalf when you act as data controller, which apply automatically where required by applicable data-protection law (such as GDPR Article 28) before such processing begins.
03·Services & license
Services & license
Optimator designs, builds, configures, and operates AI-native automation systems for businesses—primarily tour operators, hotels, hospitality businesses, and related operators. Services may include managed AI agent teams, Service Partners and done-for-you back-office operations, custom implementations, training, consulting, community programs, and related support.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable Fees, Optimator grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Services for your internal business purposes during the term of your engagement.
You may not resell, sublicense, scrape, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from the Services or our proprietary materials except as expressly permitted in writing. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Optimator.
Optimator is a technology and services provider. We do not guarantee specific business outcomes (such as revenue, bookings, rankings, or cost savings). Results depend on your data, market, integrations, team adoption, third-party platforms, and factors outside our control.
04·Service partners & done-for-you team
Service partners & done-for-you team
Some Services combine AI agents with human Service Partners and Operators who execute inbox management, OTA coordination, sales follow-up, reporting, and other back-office work. Service Partners may be assigned, trained, and coordinated by Optimator.
Optimator is a technology and managed-services provider. We supply the platform, workflows, tooling, training, and coordination layer through which you access AI agents and, where included in your plan, Service Partners. Service Partners are engaged as independent contractors and are not employees of Optimator or of you.
At no time is Optimator an employer, co-employer, joint employer, principal, partner, franchisor, or agent of you or your business, and no fiduciary, agency, joint venture, or partnership relationship exists between you and Optimator. While Optimator coordinates and manages the delivery of Assistant Work, Optimator's coordination role does not, by itself, make Optimator responsible for the independent acts or omissions of any Service Partner or Operator, except to the extent applicable law makes a principal responsible for those acting under its direction. Any such liability remains subject to Section 20.
Optimator does not monitor, investigate, or guarantee the honesty, financial responsibility, background, skill, or quality of any Service Partner or Operator. Onboarding or sales descriptions of matching, quality control, or supervision are process goals only—not warranties.
You are solely responsible for due diligence before entrusting Service Partners or automations with tasks, credentials, funds, guest communications, or system access, and for supervising, approving, and monitoring work that affects guests, payments, or sensitive data. Assistant Work may be incomplete, delayed, or incorrect.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Optimator is not liable for Assistant Issues or for any act or omission of any Service Partner, Operator, or AI agent—including acts taken outside the scope of the work assigned, unauthorized acts, or independent misconduct. This does not exclude or limit liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including Optimator's own fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct; any such residual liability remains subject to the cap in Section 20.
Raise conduct or performance concerns to support@optimator.ai for review under your Engagement Agreement. Optimator will act in good faith to investigate and remediate but does not guarantee recovery of losses caused by a Service Partner or third party.
If you grant Service Partners, Operators, or Optimator personnel access to your systems, you are fully responsible for granting, limiting, and revoking that access. Optimator is not liable for events in your systems resulting from access you provided or failed to remove.
You must pay for Services only through Optimator's approved billing methods. Direct payments, tips, gifts, or side arrangements with Service Partners are prohibited unless Optimator expressly approves them in writing.
During your engagement and for sixty (60) months after it ends, you may not solicit, hire, or contract directly with any Service Partner introduced through the Services to perform work of the kind Optimator was hired to provide, without Optimator's prior written consent or a buyout fee stated in your Engagement Agreement. Breach may result in injunctive relief and recovery of damages.
Quality checks, training, and customer success support facilitate delivery—they do not create a guaranteed performance standard or a duty to supervise every action taken by Service Partners or agents.
05·Eligibility
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract to use the Services. The Services are not intended for persons under 18.
The Services are for business use only. You represent that you are using the Services for purposes related to your trade, business, or profession, and not as a consumer. If you use the Services on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
You represent that your use of the Services complies with all applicable laws, including data-protection, anti-spam, and platform rules that apply to your business and jurisdiction.
06·Accounts & security
Accounts & security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of credentials, API keys, and access tokens associated with your account and integrations. You accept responsibility for activity under your account unless caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Notify us promptly at support@optimator.ai if you suspect unauthorized access. Optimator is not liable for unauthorized use of your account resulting from your failure to safeguard credentials or from events outside our reasonable control (including third-party breaches).
07·Acceptable use
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
Use the Services for unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, or harmful purposes.
Send spam, unsolicited bulk messages, or communications that violate the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, or other applicable anti-spam and electronic-marketing laws.
Attempt to probe, scan, disrupt, or compromise the integrity or security of the Services or connected systems.
Upload malware or use the Services to infringe intellectual property or privacy rights of others.
Misrepresent your identity, business, or authorization, or engage in fraud, impersonation, or other deceptive conduct.
Initiate chargebacks or payment disputes in bad faith or without following Section 13.
Copy, resell, or publicly disclose confidential parts of the Services without our written consent.
08·Free trial
Free trial
From time to time, Optimator may offer a Free Trial (including a 30-day trial as described on our website or signup pages). A Free Trial lets you evaluate Services without payment card details where explicitly stated.
Free Trials are offered at our discretion. We may modify, shorten, suspend, or terminate a Free Trial at any time. Trial access may be limited in scope, volume, or features compared to paid plans.
At the end of the Free Trial, continued service is billed at the monthly fee confirmed in your order. No charge applies unless you choose to proceed.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, if you do not proceed to a paid engagement at the end of a Free Trial, we may deactivate agents, integrations, and access. No Fees are due for the trial period itself where a Free Trial was offered without charge.
09·Fees, billing & payment
Fees, billing & payment
Paid Services are billed according to the pricing, plan, or Engagement Agreement presented at signup or confirmed in writing. Subscriptions renew automatically for successive billing periods unless cancelled per these Terms or your Engagement Agreement.
You authorize Optimator (and our payment processors) to charge your chosen payment method for Fees when due. You are responsible for applicable taxes unless we state otherwise.
Late or failed payments may result in suspension of Services after reasonable notice. You remain liable for Fees accrued during any suspension period where Services were available or resources were reserved for you.
Except where required by applicable law or expressly stated in an Engagement Agreement, Fees are non-refundable. If you believe you were billed in error, contact us within 14 days of the charge with details. We will investigate in good faith. Chargebacks and payment disputes are handled under Section 13.
10·Cancellation
Cancellation
You may cancel a subscription by written notice to support@optimator.ai or as described in your Engagement Agreement. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period unless otherwise stated.
We may require reasonable notice (typically at least 10 calendar days before your next renewal date) to process cancellation and avoid the next billing cycle. If notice is not received in time, you may be charged for the upcoming period in accordance with your plan.
If your plan includes dedicated Service Partners or Operators, that capacity is reserved exclusively for you and carries committed costs on our side. You therefore remain responsible for Fees for the reserved capacity during the agreed notice period, whether or not you actively use it, because those Fees reflect the cost of reserving real human capacity rather than a penalty. This does not affect your statutory rights or capacity you were prevented from using by our fault.
Optimator may suspend or terminate access immediately for material breach, non-payment, unlawful use, or risk to our systems, other clients, or third parties.
Optimator may also terminate the Services for convenience, for any reason or no reason, by giving you at least seven (7) calendar days' written notice to the email address on your account (or as stated in your Engagement Agreement). Termination under this paragraph takes effect on the date stated in the notice. You remain liable for Fees for Services and reserved capacity through the effective termination date, and for any Fees accrued before termination that are outstanding.
Upon termination, we will provide reasonable cooperation to export Client-owned deliverables and disconnect integrations, subject to payment of outstanding Fees.
11·Third-party services
Third-party services
The Services often integrate with third-party platforms—AI model providers, CRMs, booking systems (e.g. Bokun, Viator), email and messaging tools, payment processors, analytics, and others. Those services have their own terms, pricing, and availability.
Optimator is not responsible for outages, policy changes, API limits, account suspensions, or pricing changes imposed by third parties. You are responsible for maintaining your own accounts, licenses, and compliance with third-party terms.
12·AI, automation & no professional advice
AI, automation & no professional advice
AI agents may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated outputs ("hallucinations"). Automated messages may be sent to your guests, partners, or leads when you enable those workflows. You are responsible for configuring approvals, guardrails, and human review before customer-facing or financial actions go live.
Information provided through the Services is for operational and informational purposes only. It is not legal, tax, accounting, medical, or other professional advice. Seek qualified professionals before acting on outputs that affect compliance, contracts, pricing, or guest safety.
Where applicable law requires transparency about automated decision-making or AI-generated communications, you are responsible for disclosures to your end customers unless otherwise agreed in writing in a DPA or Engagement Agreement.
13·Disputes, chargebacks & cure notice
Disputes, chargebacks & cure notice
Before initiating arbitration, litigation, a chargeback, or a public complaint relating to Fees or Service performance, you must send a written notice to support@optimator.ai describing the issue, relevant dates, and the remedy sought (a "Cure Notice").
Optimator will have thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of a compliant Cure Notice to investigate, respond, and attempt to cure or offer remediation in good faith. You agree not to commence formal proceedings or chargebacks during this cure period except where prohibited by law or necessary to meet a card-network deadline—and even then, you must notify Optimator promptly.
Chargebacks filed without a prior Cure Notice, or in bad faith after Services were delivered, may be treated as a material breach. Optimator may suspend Services and share transaction records with payment processors to respond to disputes.
14·Privacy & data
Privacy & data
Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.
We may share information you provide with Service Partners and Operators to fulfill your requests. Each is bound by confidentiality obligations appropriate to the work they perform.
We use third-party providers—including cloud hosts, payment processors, email and messaging tools, and AI model providers—to deliver the Services. Their data practices are governed by their own policies, not ours.
Data may be stored and processed in Romania, the EEA, or other countries where we or our providers operate. By using the Services, you consent to such storage and transfer where permitted by applicable law.
We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect information but cannot guarantee absolute security. You acknowledge that sharing credentials, guest data, or system access with Service Partners involves risks you accept, subject to the limits in Section 20.
15·Your responsibilities
Your responsibilities
When using the Services, you agree to:
Provide accurate signup and business information.
Configure approvals, guardrails, and human review as described in Sections 04 and 12.
Maintain lawful bases and consents for processing personal data you send through the Services.
16·Ownership & intellectual property
Ownership & intellectual property
Custom workflows, agent configurations, prompts, and deliverables built specifically for you under a paid engagement are yours to use for your business, as stated in your Engagement Agreement.
Optimator retains ownership of its pre-existing software, frameworks, templates, methodologies, website content, trademarks, and know-how. We may reuse general-purpose components across clients.
You retain ownership of your data, content, and accounts. You grant Optimator a limited license to use your data solely to provide and improve the Services.
Feedback or suggestions you provide may be used by Optimator without obligation or compensation to you.
17·Confidentiality
Confidentiality
Each party will treat non-public business, technical, and financial information received from the other as confidential and use it only to perform under these Terms.
Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is public through no fault of the receiving party, was already known without restriction, is independently developed, or must be disclosed by law (with notice where permitted).
We do not publish client names, metrics, or case studies without your written approval unless the information is already public.
18·Indemnity
Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Optimator, its administrator, employees, and contractors from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Services; (b) your data, content, or instructions to agents or Service Partners; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; (d) access you grant to your systems; (e) disputes between you and your customers, employees, or partners; or (f) your willful misconduct, fraud, or deceptive use of the Services.
19·Disclaimers
Disclaimers
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OPTIMATOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation, or that integrated third-party tools are free of harmful code. Assistant-related disclaimers are set out in Section 04; AI and professional-advice limits are set out in Section 12.
20·Limitation of liability
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Optimator will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, including losses arising from Assistant Issues or third-party conduct as described in Sections 04 and 11, even if advised of the possibility.
Optimator's total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the Fees actually paid by you to Optimator in the three (3) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred euros (EUR 100). This cap applies whether the claim is based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including Optimator's own fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence. The disclaimers in Section 04 apply to the independent acts of Service Partners and third parties and do not purport to exclude Optimator's own such liability.
21·Force majeure
Force majeure
Optimator is not liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, labor disputes, government actions, epidemics, internet or cloud provider outages, cyberattacks on third parties, or failures of AI or integration providers. Obligations are suspended during such events; Fees may still apply for reserved capacity unless otherwise agreed.
22·Communications
Communications
By using the Services or submitting a signup form, you agree to receive operational emails and messages from us about your account, onboarding, billing, and service updates. You may opt out of non-essential marketing emails at any time.
Electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that communications be in writing where permitted by law.
23·Governing law & disputes
Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Romania, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Bucharest, Romania, unless mandatory consumer-protection rules in your country require otherwise.
Before initiating formal proceedings, the parties agree to attempt good-faith resolution by contacting support@optimator.ai with a written description of the dispute and requested remedy, as set out in Section 13.
24·General
General
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, any DPA, and your Engagement Agreement constitute the entire agreement between you and Optimator concerning the Services and supersede prior oral or written representations, except for fraud.
You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets with notice to you.
Provisions that by nature should survive termination (payment, service-partner restrictions, confidentiality, indemnity, liability limits, dispute procedures, and governing law) will survive.

26·Influencer Collaboration Offer
Influencer Collaboration Offer
This section applies to the Influencer Collaboration Offer: the monthly plan under which Optimator introduces a local business to creators who receive an agreed in-kind benefit (a meal, product, or similar) in exchange for content. It is added on top of these Terms and does not replace them. The rest of these Terms still govern that offer, including Fees (Section 09), cancellation (Section 10), acceptable use (Section 07), the liability cap (Section 20), and the laws of Romania and the courts of Bucharest (Section 23). If this section is more specific about the Influencer Collaboration Offer, it controls for that offer only. It does not change a done-for-you engagement except where a written Engagement Agreement says so.
Slots. The base Influencer Collaboration Offer includes five (5) creator collaboration slots (also called credits) in each monthly billing period, as stated at checkout. A slot is used when a creator is confirmed for a collaboration in that period. Unused slots expire at the end of the billing period and do not roll over, and they cannot be exchanged for cash. Slots are valid only while your subscription is active and in good standing. If you cancel, or the subscription lapses or is suspended, unused slots end with it. Optimator does not refund Fees for slots you did not use because you rejected applicants, ignored them, failed to respond in time, or did not offer workable visit windows.
In-kind compensation. You provide the meal, product, service, or other in-kind benefit agreed for the visit (the "Comp"). You are the merchant of record for the Comp. You decide what is included and any reasonable house rules, and you disclose those before the visit is confirmed. You honor the Comp at the visit. The Comp is non-refundable once the visit is confirmed, including if you later change your mind, except where mandatory law requires a refund. Optimator does not sell the meal or product and does not collect the guest's payment for it.
Creator no-show or no-post. If a confirmed creator does not attend, or attends but does not publish the agreed content, the subscription Fee for that period remains due. Optimator will make reasonable efforts to introduce a replacement creator for that slot. A replacement is an effort only. It is not a promise of a particular creator, date, audience, or business result, and it does not keep an unused slot alive past the expiry rule above.
Scheduling. You set the visit windows you can actually host, and you accept, deny, or propose a different date in the dashboard. A visit is confirmed only after you accept a time (including a time you modified). Your staff must honor a confirmed visit and treat the creator as you treat a paying guest, including seating, the agreed Comp, and ordinary hospitality. Do not ask the creator to pay for what the Comp covers, and do not downgrade a confirmed Comp when they arrive.
Content rights. The creator keeps ownership of the content they make. You receive a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to repost that content organically on your own business channels (for example your Instagram, TikTok, Facebook page, or website), with credit to the creator where the platform allows. That license does not include paid advertising, whitelisting, spark ads, boosting, or any other paid amplification. Those rights are not part of the Influencer Collaboration Offer. They are available only under the full-stack done-for-you package, and only when that package is quoted and agreed separately.
No exclusivity. This offer does not make you the creator's only partner. The creator may work with other businesses, including businesses that compete with you, unless a separate written agreement says otherwise.
Advertising and honesty. Content must be truthful and based on a real experience. You must not request, pay for, or reward fake reviews, fake star ratings, or fake followers or engagement, and you must not require a creator to hide, edit, or delete honest feedback as a condition of the Comp or of working with you again. Collaborations must be disclosed as advertising where EU law, Romanian law (including advertising and consumer rules), and the platform's own rules require it, including a clear label such as "ad" or "sponsored" when that label is required. You are responsible for claims you ask the creator to make about your business.
No side payments. Do not pay, tip, gift, or otherwise compensate a creator outside Optimator for a collaboration arranged through the Services, and do not ask the creator to invoice you directly for that collaboration. Pay the subscription only to Optimator, through Optimator's billing. The side-arrangement rule in Section 04 also applies.
No guaranteed results. Optimator does not guarantee views, followers, bookings, revenue, rankings, foot traffic, or any other business outcome from creator posts. Sections 03 and 19 apply to this offer.
Done-for-you package. Paid advertising, cash fees paid to creators, whitelisting, boosting, and other services beyond the in-kind collaboration slots belong to the full-stack done-for-you package. They are quoted separately. They are not included in the Influencer Collaboration Offer subscription Fee. Asking to talk about that package, or booking a call, does not by itself add those services to your subscription.
27·Minimum term & early termination
Minimum term & early termination
This section applies only when the plan, order, or Engagement Agreement you accepted states a commitment longer than one monthly billing period (a "Committed Term"). A plan that bills and renews month to month is not a Committed Term. The Influencer Collaboration Offer is month to month unless the checkout or a written Engagement Agreement states a longer commitment.
Month-to-month plans, including a month-to-month Influencer Collaboration Offer, stay cancellable at the end of the current billing period under Section 10. This section does not change that.
Fees for a Committed Term are earned when that term begins. If you cancel during a Committed Term, or if we end the Services for your material breach before that term ends, Fees already paid for the Committed Term are not refunded, and any Fees for the remainder of the Committed Term that are not yet paid become due. We may invoice that remainder immediately. Those Fees are the price of the term you committed to. They are not an extra charge on top of that price.
This section does not take away a right the law says cannot be waived, and it does not make you pay for a period you could not use because of our fault.
28·Applicants
Applicants
This section applies to the Influencer Collaboration Offer in Section 26. It does not change a done-for-you engagement except where a written Engagement Agreement says so.
Creators decide for themselves whether to apply. Optimator shows your offer to creators. We do not promise how many will apply, and we do not promise that every slot will be filled.
Interest depends on your city, the Comp, the visit windows you open, and other things we do not control. An empty slot, including a slot that stays empty because you turned applicants away or did not answer them, is not a failure to deliver the Services. The unused-slot rule in Section 26 still applies.
29·Venue readiness
Venue readiness
This section applies to the Influencer Collaboration Offer in Section 26. It does not change a done-for-you engagement except where a written Engagement Agreement says so.
Before a confirmed visit, brief the staff who will receive the creator. They need to be able to confirm that the person in front of them is the creator you accepted, and to provide the Comp you agreed, when the creator checks in.
Check-in is how the visit is verified. Staff follow the check-in steps shown for that visit in the Optimator dashboard. If the creator is turned away, or the Comp is refused, because staff were not briefed, that sits with you. It does not refund the subscription Fee or put the slot back.
30·Platform communication
Platform communication
This section applies to the Influencer Collaboration Offer in Section 26. It does not change a done-for-you engagement except where a written Engagement Agreement says so.
Contact with a creator about a collaboration arranged through Optimator happens in the Optimator dashboard. That includes writing to the creator, moving the visit to another time, and cancelling it.
Do not take that conversation to a private phone, email, or social account in order to change or cancel the visit. If the dashboard is down, write to support@optimator.ai the same day as well. A change or cancellation made only outside the dashboard is not a cancellation or a reschedule under these Terms.
31·Creator content
Creator content
This section applies to the Influencer Collaboration Offer in Section 26. It does not change a done-for-you engagement except where a written Engagement Agreement says so.
Creators are independent of you and of Optimator. They are not employees of either. Optimator does not direct, edit, or approve the content a creator chooses to publish on their own initiative, beyond the brief the collaboration already states.
To the maximum extent the law allows, Optimator is not liable for statements, images, or claims in content a creator publishes that way. You stay responsible for claims you ask the creator to make, as Section 26 says. This section does not limit liability that Section 20 says cannot be limited.
32·Compliance removal
Compliance removal
This section applies to the Influencer Collaboration Offer in Section 26. It does not change a done-for-you engagement except where a written Engagement Agreement says so.
If a single collaboration, slot, or post breaks the advertising and disclosure rules in Section 26, or another advertising or consumer rule that applies, Optimator may cancel that collaboration or that slot, and may ask that the content be edited or taken down.
That step is limited to the collaboration, slot, or post that broke the rules. It is not, by itself, the end of your subscription. Fees already due stay due. Rights the law says cannot be waived stay in place.
33·Usage and paid-ad rights
Usage and paid-ad rights
This section applies to the Influencer Collaboration Offer in Section 26. It does not change a done-for-you engagement except where a written Engagement Agreement says so.
Paid advertising, whitelisting, spark ads, boosting, and other paid amplification are not included in the Influencer Collaboration Offer. The organic license in Section 26 does not become a paid-ad license because you subscribe.
You may obtain those rights in either of two ways. You may buy them separately for one named creator, and only if that creator agrees in writing. Or you may obtain them through the full-service agency package (the full-stack done-for-you package in Section 26), when that package is quoted and agreed. Until one of those is in place, you have the organic license only.
Section 26 keeps paid amplification out of the subscription Fee and names the full-stack done-for-you package as one way those rights can be agreed. This section adds the other way: a separate purchase for one creator, with that creator's written agreement. On how those rights are bought, this section controls.
34·Non-circumvention
Non-circumvention
This section applies to the Influencer Collaboration Offer in Section 26. It does not change a done-for-you engagement except where a written Engagement Agreement says so. It sits beside the no-side-payments rule in Section 26. That rule still applies, as does the side-arrangement rule in Section 04.
For twelve (12) months after Optimator first introduces you to a creator, do not contract with that creator, pay that creator, or collaborate with that creator, either directly or through another agency, in a way that leaves Optimator out. An introduction is the first time that creator reaches you through Optimator. It includes a creator who applied to your offer, a creator we matched to you, and a creator who collaborated with you on the platform.
If you do, Optimator may charge a referral fee and may suspend your account. The referral fee equals twelve (12) months of the subscription Fee for the plan you are on when the bypass happens: the monthly amount stated at checkout or in your Engagement Agreement, multiplied by twelve (12). It is the placement fee for that introduction. It is not a further sum on top of those twelve months. Fees already due under these Terms stay due.
This does not apply to a creator you had already worked with before that Optimator introduction. A collaboration that stays on the platform, including one you have already confirmed there, is not a bypass.
