Creator Partnership Agreement

Last updated: October 28, 2026

The short version (not part of the legal terms). We send you free Pets on Strike products. You are free to make photos or videos about them, but you do not have to. If you share content with us, we can use it to promote Pets on Strike anywhere, with no time limit and no payment. You keep ownership of your content and can post it on your own channels. If we ever want to pay you or work together on something bigger, we will sign a separate agreement first. The full terms are below.

1. Who This Agreement Is With

This Creator Partnership Agreement (the "Agreement") is between Pets On Strike, a business located at PO Box 90, New Palestine, IN 46163 ("Pets on Strike," "we," "us" or "our"), and the person who accepts it ("you" or "Creator"). You accept this Agreement by checking the box and signing up for the Pets on Strike creator program (the "Program"), or by accepting free products from us. If you are signing up for a business, you confirm that you can bind it.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and live in the United States. You must be able to enter into contracts. We may accept, decline or end anyone's participation in the Program at any time, for any reason.

3. A Partnership, Not a Job

You are an independent content creator. This Agreement does not make you our employee, agent, partner, joint venturer or franchisee. You decide when, how and whether to create content, and you use your own equipment, time and ideas. You may not speak for Pets on Strike or sign anything on our behalf. You are responsible for your own taxes, insurance and expenses.

4. Free Products

(a) We may send you free Pets on Strike products ("Products"). The Products are gifts. We give them in the hope that you will try them and share your honest experience, but we do not require you to create, post or say anything in return.

(b) You do not have to post a review, and we will not ask you to post a positive one. Say what you honestly think.

(c) We decide which Products to send, how many and when. We may change or stop sending Products at any time.

(d) Products are for your pet and household. Please do not sell or trade them. Follow the feeding directions on the package, and talk to your vet if your pet has a health concern.

(e) Receiving Products does not create any promise of payment, commission, a minimum number of posts or an ongoing relationship.

5. Your Content and the License You Give Us

(a) What counts as your content. "Content" means any photos, videos, audio, captions, text, music you supply, and other materials that you create about Pets on Strike or the Products and that you share with us, tag us in, send to us, or post publicly in a way that tags or mentions Pets on Strike, including raw footage, edits and cutdowns. Content includes anything that shows you, your pet or your voice, name, handle or likeness in connection with it.

(b) You own it. You keep whatever ownership you have in your Content. This Agreement does not transfer ownership to us.

(c) The license. You give Pets on Strike, its affiliates, and its and their agents, service providers, advertising platforms, retailers, marketplaces and other business partners a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable and sublicensable (through multiple tiers) license to use, reproduce, host, store, edit, crop, trim, caption, add text or graphics to, translate, adapt, create derivative works from, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, and otherwise use your Content, in any media or format, on any platform or channel now known or created in the future, for marketing, advertising, promotion, sales, and other business purposes connected with Pets on Strike and its products and services. There is no time limit on this license.

(d) Examples. This includes, for example: our website and product pages; our social media accounts; email and text marketing; paid advertising on any platform; retail and marketplace listings, including Amazon; print materials such as flyers, packaging inserts, catalogs, mailers and trade show displays; store displays; press and media materials; presentations to retailers and partners; and customer example galleries.

(e) Your name, handle and likeness. The license includes the right to use your name, social media handle, voice, image and likeness as they appear in your Content, and to credit you or not credit you, as we choose. We will not use your name or handle outside of your Content in a way that says you endorse a product other than the ones in your Content, and we will not invent quotes from you.

(f) Running your Content as an ad. The license includes the right to run your Content as paid advertising, including through platform tools that let us promote your original post from your account, such as Instagram and Facebook partnership ads, TikTok Spark Ads, YouTube partnership ads and similar features. You agree to give us the permission, access code or approval the platform needs to do this, within a reasonable time after we ask. We will use it only for Pets on Strike ads, and you can turn off the platform permission at any time in the platform's settings. We will not owe you a fee for these ads unless we agree otherwise in writing. We will never ask for your password.

(g) No approval, credit or payment. We do not need your approval for any use that this license allows, and we do not owe you credit, notice or payment for it. To the fullest extent allowed by law, you waive any right to inspect or approve how we use your Content and any moral rights you may have in it.

(h) The license continues. The license in this Section 5 stays in effect after this Agreement ends and after you stop taking part in the Program, as explained in Section 12.

6. Your Promises About Your Content

You promise that:

• your Content is your own original work, or you have all the rights, licenses and permissions needed to give us the license in Section 5;
• your Content does not copy or infringe anyone else's copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other rights;
• any music, sounds, fonts, clips, logos or other third-party materials in your Content are either licensed for commercial use (including paid advertising) or are cleared in a way that lets us use them under Section 5. If you are not sure, leave them out or tell us before you send the Content;
• every person who appears in your Content, other than you, has agreed to appear in it and to our use of it under this Agreement. If a child appears, a parent or legal guardian has agreed for them;
• your Content is not unlawful, and it does not include private information about other people, such as addresses, license plates or account details; and
• the information you give us when you sign up is true and current.

7. Telling Your Audience About Free Products

(a) The law and platform rules say you must be clear when you got something free. If you post about a Product you received from us, you must say so in a way your audience can easily see and understand. Use the platform's paid partnership or branded content tool when there is one, or a plain label such as "gifted" or "#gifted" at the start of the post or in the video itself. Hiding the label in a long list of hashtags is not enough.

(b) Follow the rules that apply to you, including the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides and each platform's branded content policies. You are responsible for your own posts. If we see a post that is missing a required disclosure, we may ask you to fix it, and you agree to do so quickly.

(c) Only say what you honestly believe. Share your own real experience with the Product. Do not post a review of a Product you have not actually tried.

8. What You Can and Can't Say About the Products

(a) Stick to your own experience, such as "my dog loved it" or "she finished the bowl in a minute." Please do not make claims we have not made, such as claims about prices, ingredients, sourcing or results.

(b) Pets on Strike products are food and treats, not medicine. Do not say or suggest that a Product treats, cures, prevents or fixes a disease, allergy or medical condition. Use supportive language only, such as "supports" or "made with." If you want to share how a Product fit your own pet's routine, that is fine, as long as you do not promise medical results.

(c) Do not show unsafe feeding, such as skipping the feeding directions or giving a Product to a pet in a way that could cause harm.

(d) If we send you a short list of approved product facts, you may use it, but you are not required to.

9. Content Standards

Your Content must not include anything that is hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, violent, deceptive or illegal, or that shows animal cruelty or neglect. It must not mention or make fun of other pet food brands in a false or unfair way, and it must not include political messages or promote other brands' products in the same Content in a way that could confuse viewers about who is behind it. If we think Content breaks these standards, we may choose not to use it, and we may ask you to take down or fix a public post that tags us.

10. Posting the Same Content on Your Own Channels

(a) You may post your Content on your own social media accounts, websites, blogs and other channels. You do not need our permission, and we will not pay you for it.

(b) The license in Section 5 is not exclusive. You can keep using your Content however you like, and you can work with other brands, as long as you do not give anyone else rights that conflict with the license you gave us, and as long as you follow Section 7 for anything about our Products.

(c) If you and Pets on Strike sign a separate written agreement for specific Content or a specific project, such as a paid campaign, affiliate deal or sponsored post, that agreement controls for that Content or project. Anything not covered there stays under this Agreement.

11. No Payment, No Exclusivity

(a) The free Products are the only thing we provide under this Agreement. Unless we agree to something different in a separate written agreement signed by both of us, we do not owe you a fee, commission, bonus, royalty, reimbursement or any other payment, and the license in Section 5 is given in exchange for the Products and the other promises in this Agreement.

(b) You are not required to work only with us, and we are not required to work only with you. We may work with other creators, and we may create similar content ourselves or with others, even if it looks like yours.

(c) You agree that the Products you receive may be of value, and you are responsible for any tax reporting that applies to you.

12. Ending the Program, Removal Requests and What Stays in Effect

(a) Ending. Either of us may end your participation in the Program at any time, for any reason, by telling the other in writing (email is fine). We may also stop sending Products at any time without ending the Agreement.

(b) The license stays. The license in Section 5 continues after the Agreement ends, because we may already have used your Content in ads, packaging, listings and other materials that continue to be used. This means the license applies to all Content you shared with us or tagged us in before the end date.

(c) Removal requests. If you ask us in writing to stop using a piece of your Content, we will stop new uses of it within 30 days and remove it from the Pets on Strike channels we control, such as our website and social accounts. We cannot recall or change things already printed, published, shipped or sent, ads that have already run, copies kept by others who got it lawfully, or backups we are required or reasonably need to keep. We may keep using Content that appears in materials that are already made.

(d) What survives. Sections 5, 6, 10, 11 and 12 through 20, and anything else that by its nature should continue, stay in effect after the Agreement ends.

13. Your Privacy

We collect your contact details, social handles and shipping address so we can run the Program and send Products. We use them as described in our Privacy Policy, which you should read. We do not sell this information to others for money. Our Terms of Service also apply to your use of our website. If the two documents conflict about the Program, this Agreement controls.

14. No Promises About the Program

The Program and the Products are provided "as is." We do not promise that the Program will continue, that you will be accepted or stay in it, that you will receive any amount of Products, or that any Content will be used. We make no promise about how your posts will perform.

15. Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Pets on Strike and its owners, employees, affiliates and service providers will not be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, reach, followers or opportunities, arising out of this Agreement or the Program. Our total liability to you for anything related to this Agreement will not be more than $100. Some places do not allow these limits, so some of them may not apply to you. Nothing in this Agreement limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

16. If Something Goes Wrong Because of Your Content

You will defend, and pay for the losses of, Pets on Strike, its affiliates, and its and their owners, employees and partners, for any claim, cost or damage (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that comes from (a) your Content, other than claims that your Content infringes because we changed it or used it outside this Agreement, (b) your breach of this Agreement, or (c) your failure to follow the disclosure laws and platform rules in Section 7. We will tell you about a claim promptly and let you help with it if you ask.

17. Assignment

You may not transfer your rights or duties under this Agreement without our written consent. We may transfer this Agreement to a company that buys or takes over all or part of our business, or to an affiliate.

18. Changes to This Agreement

We may update this Agreement from time to time. If we make a material change, we will tell you by email or post the new version at [AGREEMENT LINK] with a new "Last updated" date. A change applies to the Program going forward. If you do not agree to a change, you may stop taking part, and the new version will not reduce the license you already gave us for Content you shared before the change. If you keep participating or accept more Products after the change, you accept the new version.

19. The Legal Basics

(a) Governing law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.

(b) Disputes. Any dispute about this Agreement will be brought only in the state or federal courts in the jurisdiction where Pets on Strike is headquartered, and you and we consent to those courts' venue and personal jurisdiction.

(c) Entire agreement. This Agreement is the whole agreement between us about the Program. It replaces any earlier discussion about it. A separate written agreement signed by both of us controls for the Content or project it covers (see Section 10(c)).

(d) If part is unenforceable. If a court finds part of this Agreement cannot be enforced, the rest still applies, and the part will be changed only as much as needed to make it enforceable.

(e) No waiver. If we do not enforce a term right away, we have not given up the right to enforce it later.

(f) Electronic signing. You agree that checking the box and signing up counts as your signature, and that we may keep an electronic record of your acceptance, including the date, time and version of this Agreement.

(g) No third-party rights. This Agreement does not give rights to anyone other than you and us, except that our affiliates and partners named in Section 5 may rely on the license.

20. Questions
