Terms of Service
Effective version: 2026-07-15
1. Operator and acceptance
The Trade Talk is operated by Last Land Information Technologies LLP (LLPIN ACN-4682). By affirmatively accepting these Terms, you enter an agreement with the operator for use of the platform. If you act for an organization, you represent that you are at least 18 and authorized to bind it.
2. Eligibility and accounts
- Users under 13 are not permitted. Business representatives must be at least 18.
- Creators aged 13–17 require a confirmed parent or legal guardian request and may be asked for additional verification.
- Provide accurate information, protect credentials, maintain a verified contact method, and promptly report unauthorized access.
- Organizations act through authorized owners and members; a personal business profile alone does not establish an organization’s verification.
3. Platform role and contracting parties
The Trade Talk provides discovery, campaign, contracting, communication, payment collection, milestone payout, verification, and analytics tools. Unless an order expressly says otherwise, the business and creator are the parties responsible for the campaign deliverables, licenses, approvals, and commercial promises in their signed order contract. The Trade Talk is not either party’s employer, talent agent, lawyer, tax adviser, or fiduciary.
4. Orders, contracts, and electronic signatures
- Order terms must identify deliverables, compensation, milestones, review, revisions, timing, licenses, cancellation, and dispute handling.
- The accepted contract version is bound to a cryptographic hash. OTP signing records the signer identity, role, intent, consent, exact version, time, and evidence chain.
- A signer must have authority to sign. A changed contract requires a new review and signature flow.
- AI contract review is advisory, may be incomplete or wrong, and is not legal advice. Each party remains responsible for human and counsel review.
5. Order funding, fees, and payouts
Businesses fund orders through the designated Razorpay flow to The Trade Talk. The Trade Talk applies disclosed platform fees and schedules creator payouts under the signed milestone terms. This is not an escrow service and no user receives an escrow, trust-account, or deposit-protection promise.
For cash orders, the current default platform fee is 3% of the order amount plus applicable GST charged to the business and 7% plus applicable GST deducted from the creator side. A superuser-configured fee schedule shown before acceptance may apply. Barter fees are determined by the disclosed barter schedule and order terms.
6. Subscriptions, taxes, refunds, and payment failures
- Subscription price, currency, tax, billing interval, renewal, and cancellation terms shown at checkout form part of these Terms.
- There is no blanket 14-day money-back guarantee. Refund or cancellation eligibility depends on the applicable checkout terms, order contract, provider state, and law.
- Users are responsible for their tax registrations, filings, invoices, and legally required disclosures. The platform may collect or report information where required.
- Failed payments, returned payouts, chargebacks, provider holds, sanctions screening, or suspected fraud may delay funding or payout while evidence is reviewed.
7. KYC and meaning of verified
Creator verification means The Trade Talk has approved the applicable identity documents and ownership evidence required by the active country-specific KYC case. Organization verification means the organization’s required legal, representative, tax, ownership, and bank documents were approved. Business verification is organization-based.
A connected social account is described as connected, not verified. A payment event is verified only when provider authenticity and amount/currency checks succeed. Verification reduces specific identity risk but is not an endorsement, performance guarantee, credit assessment, or promise that all information remains current.
8. Advertising and content duties
- Businesses must provide truthful briefs, evidence for objective claims, lawful products, necessary brand permissions, and clear disclosure instructions.
- Creators must make prominent advertising disclosures required by the applicable jurisdiction and platform, including for cash, barter, gifts, travel, discounts, or other material connections.
- Both parties are responsible for music, footage, trademarks, likeness, publicity, privacy, and other rights used in content.
- The Trade Talk may moderate, restrict, preserve, or remove reported content and accounts while investigating fraud, harassment, unlawful content, or disclosure violations.
9. Intellectual property and user content
Users retain ownership of content they upload. They grant the operator a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, reproduce, display, transmit, and create technical copies only as needed to operate, secure, support, and document the service or as separately authorized for public portfolio use. Order-specific ownership and campaign licenses are controlled by the signed contract.
10. Communications, calls, recording, and confidentiality
Workspace messages and attachments may be reviewed for support, safety, disputes, and enforcement by authorized personnel. Users must protect confidential campaign and personal information. The call screen asks every participant to choose recording and transcription for each call; both stay off unless both participants affirmatively agree. Recording also requires configured restricted storage and an approved retention period. Local recording laws still apply.
11. Third-party services and AI
WorkOS, Convex, Vercel, Razorpay, Resend, Twilio, LiveKit, Google, Meta/Instagram, YouTube, X, OpenAI, Anthropic, and other configured services may have separate terms and availability. The Trade Talk does not control provider outages, API changes, social metric corrections, account restrictions, or model output.
12. Prohibited conduct
- Fraud, impersonation, fake engagement, false documents, payment evasion, money laundering, sanctions evasion, bribery, or unlawful tax conduct.
- Harassment, threats, exploitation of minors, discriminatory abuse, malware, credential theft, unauthorized scraping, or access-control bypass.
- Illegal or prohibited products, deceptive claims, hidden sponsorships, infringement, privacy violations, or instructions to bypass provider or platform safeguards.
- Moving an introduced transaction off-platform to avoid an agreed platform fee where the applicable campaign or order terms prohibit it.
13. Disputes, evidence, and appeals
Parties should first use the order communication and dispute tools and preserve briefs, approvals, deliverables, provider records, and signed contract evidence. The Trade Talk may pause payouts and facilitate review but is not stated to have final binding adjudicatory authority because that authority has not been approved. The signed contract and non-waivable legal rights control escalation.
14. Suspension, termination, and surviving obligations
The Trade Talk may restrict or suspend access for security, fraud, legal, payment, or material breach reasons and will provide an appeal channel where appropriate. Termination does not erase accrued fees, active-order duties, payout or refund review, confidentiality, licenses already granted, dispute evidence, tax records, or other clauses that by nature survive.
15. Disclaimers and liability
The service is provided on an “as available” basis to the extent permitted by law. No guarantee is made about campaign results, creator performance, audience authenticity beyond stated checks, uninterrupted providers, AI accuracy, or legal/tax outcomes. Any limitation or exclusion applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law and does not waive non-excludable consumer rights, fraud, wilful misconduct, or liabilities that cannot lawfully be limited.
16. Law, notices, and unresolved legal design
Indian law applies to the operator relationship subject to mandatory consumer, privacy, employment, and other rights that may apply where a user resides. An exclusive court, arbitration, or platform-final dispute method has not been approved and is not invented here. Electronic notices may be sent to the verified account email or displayed in product.
A named grievance officer, registered postal address, response SLA, formal dispute authority, retention schedule, and external counsel approval are still pending. Contact legal@thetradetalk.com for legal notices and support@thetradetalk.com for operational help.
17. Changes, assignment, and general terms
Material changes receive a new version and may require renewed acceptance. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining terms continue. Failure to enforce once is not a waiver. Users may not assign their account or agreement without consent; the operator may assign the service as part of a lawful reorganization subject to applicable notice duties.
