Brand Partnership Conditions

1. Who these Conditions apply to

These Brand Partnership Conditions ("Conditions") apply to every paid, gifted, hosted, or affiliate collaboration between Vivian Dolor, an independent digital creator in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines ("Creator", "we", "I"), and any brand, agency, tourism board, hotel, tour operator, or other partner ("Brand", "you").

They form part of every Statement of Work, proposal, purchase order, or contract we sign together (the "Agreement"). If the Agreement and these Conditions conflict, the Agreement wins. Agencies booking on behalf of a client confirm they have authority to bind that client.

2. How to start

1. Inquiry. Send the brand-inquiry form on iamvivi.com or email fernandoviviandolor@gmail.com. Tell us the brand, goal, timeline, platforms, and budget range.
2. Discovery call. A short call (15 to 30 minutes) to align on the idea, audience fit, and logistics.
3. Proposal. We send a written proposal with deliverables, timeline, usage rights, and fees. Proposals are valid for 14 days.
4. Agreement. Both sides sign. The deposit invoice is issued. Work begins when the deposit clears.

Nothing is booked until the Agreement is signed and the deposit is received. Dates are held for 5 working days after a proposal is accepted.

3. Scope and the written brief

Every project needs a written brief, attached to the Agreement. The brief sets out

• deliverables (number of posts, format, length, platform, and whether Stories, Reels, TikToks, YouTube, blog, or newsletter);
• key messages, mandatory mentions, and anything to avoid;
• hashtags, handles, links, and discount codes;
• posting window and any launch embargo;
• usage rights (see section 7) and exclusivity (see section 8);
• who the approver is on the Brand side and how fast they respond.

Anything not in the brief is out of scope. Extra deliverables, added platforms, extended usage, or a change of concept after sign-off are quoted separately. We do not start extra work without written approval of the added fee.

4. Creative control and approvals

• The Creator decides the creative approach, tone, styling, editing, and voice. That is what the audience trusts and what you are paying for.
• We follow the brief and mandatory elements. We do not read scripts word for word unless the Agreement says so and the fee reflects it.
• Preview. We send a preview of each deliverable before publishing. The Brand has 3 working days to respond. Silence after 3 working days counts as approval.
• Revisions. The fee includes one round of minor revisions per deliverable (caption edits, a trim, swapping a clip, fixing a factual point about the product). Changes to the concept, a reshoot, or additional rounds are charged at our published rate or as quoted. Where a package names a hook re-shoot, one re-shoot of the opening hook is included at no charge if the Brand rejects it in the preview round.
• We will not publish claims about a product we cannot verify or that we believe are misleading. We will not deliver content that conflicts with our values or the law.
• The Brand supplies accurate product information, legal claims support, and any required warnings.

5. Disclosure and advertising compliance

All sponsored content will be clearly labelled. Depending on platform and audience we use "#ad", "#sponsored", "Paid partnership with [Brand]", or the platform's built-in paid-partnership tool. Labels sit where viewers see them before engaging, not buried in hashtags.

We comply with the US FTC Endorsement Guides, the Philippine DTI rules on fair advertising and the Ad Standards Council (ASC) guidelines on influencer content, and platform rules (TikTok, Meta, YouTube). The Brand agrees not to ask us to hide, soften, or delay a disclosure. Where the Brand's own industry rules apply (alcohol, health, finance, gambling, travel insurance), the Brand tells us in the brief and supplies the required wording.

Testimonials reflect our honest experience. If we have not used the product, we say so or decline.

6. Payment terms

Content is not published, and licences do not start, until the balance is paid, unless the Agreement sets net-15 terms. If payment is late on net-15 terms, we may unpublish content and suspend the licence until paid.

7. Content ownership, usage rights, and licensing tiers

The Creator owns the copyright in all content we produce, including raw footage, outtakes, and drafts. The Brand receives a licence, not ownership. Raw files are not included unless the package or Agreement names them.

These rules apply to every tier.

• The Brand may not edit, crop, re-cut, add voiceover, overlay text, change captions, or repurpose the content without our written approval. Light platform-required resizing is fine.
• Licences are non-transferable. Retail partners, distributors, and agencies need their own licence unless named in the Agreement.
• Credit "@viviandolorrr" wherever the platform allows.
• The Creator keeps the right to show the work in a portfolio, media kit, case study, and on her own channels.
• Whitelisting access is granted through the platform's official tools, for the agreed duration only, with ad spend and targeting set by the Brand. We can view ad performance. We may revoke access if the Brand runs ads with content or claims we did not approve.
• The Brand may not use our name, likeness, voice, or content to train AI models or to create synthetic versions of us.
• On expiry, the Brand stops active use (ads, new posts, print runs) but may leave historical organic posts up.

8. Exclusivity

We stay free to work with other brands, including in the same category, unless the Agreement says otherwise.

• As a standard courtesy, we will not post for a direct competitor in the same category within 7 days before and after a sponsored post. That courtesy is included at no charge.
• Category exclusivity beyond that is available for a fee, typically +25% of the content fee per 30 days, capped at 12 months, with the category defined narrowly in the Agreement (for example "sunscreen", not "beauty").
• Exclusivity starts at publishing, not at signing, unless agreed and paid for.
• Exclusivity never covers content published before the Agreement, existing long-term partners named in the Agreement, or our own products.

9. Cancellation, rescheduling, and kill fees

Cancellations must be in writing. "Pausing" a campaign for more than 30 days counts as a cancellation unless we agree otherwise.

10. Product seeding and gifting

We welcome gifted products, but a gift does not guarantee a post, a mention, or a review. If we post about a gifted product, we do so honestly and label it "#gifted" or "PR" as required.

• Gifted items are not returned unless the Brand arranges and pays for return shipping in advance.
• The Brand covers shipping, customs, and duties to Palawan. Items held at Philippine customs for unpaid duties are not our responsibility.
• Do not send a product and then request deliverables, deadlines, or approvals; that is a paid partnership and section 3 applies.
• If the Brand wants guaranteed content for a product, we quote a paid or hybrid (product + fee) rate.

11. Travel and hosted collaborations

Hotels, resorts, tour operators, airlines, and tourism boards often host us for content. These terms apply on top of the rest of this page.

What the host covers

• Round-trip flights or transport from Puerto Princesa (or our current location) for the Creator and, if agreed, one companion or assistant.
• Accommodation for the shoot period named in the Agreement (two nights for the Hosted Stay package). Where the brief includes a boat day or another weather-dependent shoot, one buffer night.
• Meals and on-site activities that appear in the brief.
• Local transfers, boat charters, entry permits, environmental fees, and guides.
• A per diem for incidentals where the stay exceeds 3 nights, as set in the Agreement, or reimbursement of receipted expenses within 14 days.
• Travel insurance covering medical evacuation, or confirmation that we should arrange it and bill it back.

Hosted-only vs paid

A hosted stay covers the cost of the experience. It does not pay for the content. Deliverables for hosted-only stays are limited and set in the brief. For guaranteed deliverables, usage rights beyond Tier 1, or exclusivity, a content fee applies.

Safety

We follow the host's safety briefings and licensed operators only. We will not board unlicensed boats, dive without certified operators, or continue an activity we judge unsafe, and this is not a breach. The host confirms operators hold the required permits (LGU, DENR, coast guard) for activities in the brief.

Weather and reshoots in Palawan

Palawan weather is part of the deal. Typhoons, monsoon rain, rough seas, and coast-guard no-sail orders can stop a shoot.

• We build one buffer day into every hosted shoot. If weather takes that day too, we deliver what we safely captured. Where the brief cannot be met, we agree either a reshoot at the host's expense (travel and stay) or a reduced deliverable set at a pro-rated fee.
• Weather cancellation is never a breach by either side and no kill fee applies.
• If content cannot be captured because the host's facility, boat, or activity was unavailable, the host covers a reshoot or pays the full fee for the deliverables that depended on it.

Health

If the Creator is ill or injured, we reschedule at no penalty. If a stay must be cut short for medical reasons, the host is not charged for undelivered items and we deliver what we can from captured footage.

12. Performance and reporting

• We do not guarantee views, reach, engagement, clicks, sales, or follower growth. Platforms control distribution and we cannot promise outcomes.
• We will deliver on time, to the brief, and to our normal quality. Late delivery. If we miss a delivery date named in the Agreement for reasons within our control, the Brand keeps the content delivered and the unpaid balance for the late deliverable is waived.
• We share performance metrics within 7 days of publishing, and again at 30 days on request. The report covers views, reach, likes, comments, shares, saves, and link clicks where available, with screenshots from the platform's native analytics.
• We do not buy followers, views, or engagement, and we will not partner with brands that ask us to.
• Content stays live for at least 90 days unless the Agreement says otherwise or a takedown is required under section 14.

13. Confidentiality

Both sides keep confidential any non-public information shared during the partnership, such as unreleased products, launch dates, pricing, rates, strategy, and analytics. This lasts for 2 years after the project ends. It does not cover information that is public, already known, or required by law or a platform's disclosure rules. Our fee is confidential; the fact that we worked together is not, unless the Agreement says so.

14. Brand safety and morals, both ways

From the Creator. We will not, during the partnership, publish content that is unlawful, hateful, defamatory, or that would bring the Brand into serious public disrepute. If we do, the Brand may end the Agreement and ask us to remove the sponsored content, and we will refund fees for undelivered work.

From the Brand. If the Brand, its owners, or its products become the subject of credible allegations of illegal conduct, fraud, harm to consumers, environmental damage in Palawan, or conduct that would damage our reputation with our audience, we may act. We may end the Agreement, remove the content, and keep fees for work already delivered. The same applies if the Brand asks us to make claims we believe are false or to break disclosure rules.

Either side gives written notice and, where practical, 5 working days to respond before acting.

15. Warranties and liability

• The Creator warrants the content is original and does not knowingly infringe anyone's rights, subject to the Brand's materials and claims.
• The Brand warrants that the products, claims, trademarks, music, and assets it supplies are lawful and cleared for use, and will cover any claim arising from them.
• Each side's liability to the other is capped at the total fees paid under the Agreement, except for confidentiality breaches, IP infringement, unpaid fees, or matters that cannot be limited by law.
• Neither side is liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost sales or profits.

16. Force majeure

Neither side is in breach for delays caused by events outside their reasonable control, including typhoons, storms, floods, earthquakes, volcanic activity, no-sail orders, epidemics, government travel restrictions, platform outages, internet or power failures in Palawan, or civil unrest. The affected side tells the other promptly. Deadlines move by the length of the delay. If the event lasts more than 60 days, either side may end the Agreement; fees for delivered work stay payable and the deposit is applied to work done.

17. Dispute resolution and governing law

These Conditions and every Agreement are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines.

1. Talk first. Either side raises the issue in writing. Both sides negotiate in good faith for at least 21 days.
2. Mediation (optional). If we still disagree, either side may propose mediation, in person in Puerto Princesa or online, with costs shared equally.
3. Courts. If that fails, the courts of Puerto Princesa City, Palawan have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to the katarungang pambarangay rules where they apply.

Either side may seek urgent court relief to stop misuse of content or a confidentiality breach at any time.

18. General

• These Conditions plus the signed Agreement are the whole deal. Emails and chat messages can confirm details but do not change fees, usage, or exclusivity unless both sides sign.
• The Creator is an independent contractor, not an employee, agent, or partner of the Brand.
• Neither side may assign the Agreement without the other's consent, except we may use assistants, editors, or a photographer under our direction.
• If any clause is unenforceable, the rest still applies.
• Notices go to fernandoviviandolor@gmail.com and the Brand email in the Agreement.
• We may update these Conditions; the version in force on the date of signing applies to that Agreement.
