Terms of Service

PaidHype is a product of Momentum Labs LLC, doing business as PaidHype, 30 N Gould St Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States. In these terms “we” and “us” mean Momentum Labs LLC, and “you” means you, whether you are here as a creator or as a brand.

PaidHype is a performance marketplace. Brands publish bounties; creators post about the brand from their own 𝕏 account; verified public views on those posts turn into cash. We are not your employer, and posting for a bounty does not make you our employee, agent, or partner. You act as an independent contractor and decide for yourself whether to post at all.

We measure, verify and pay. We do not write your posts, and we do not control what a brand chooses to fund.

You accept these terms by creating an account, claiming a bounty, submitting a post, or funding a bounty. If you do not accept them, do not do those things.

You must be 18 or older and able to enter a contract where you live. PaidHype is not for anyone under 18.

If you are agreeing for a company, you confirm you have the authority to bind it, and “you” means that company.

Give us an email address that works. We use it to sign you in and to tell you what happened to your claims: when you are cleared to post, when a post is verified or rejected, when a claim is frozen or cleared, when a payout becomes payable, and when a cashout is paid. Nothing that ends or freezes a claim happens silently.

Email is best effort, so it is not the record. If a send fails you still get the notice in the product. Your earnings page is authoritative for hold dates, claim states and payout status, and it is the thing to check if something looks wrong.

To claim a bounty you must connect the 𝕏 account you will post from and prove you own it. There are two proofs and both are automatic: signing in with 𝕏, or taking the one-time code we issue on the onboarding screen, posting it publicly from that account mentioning @PaidHype, and pasting the post’s URL back to us. Codes expire in an hour. A handle proved by neither route cannot claim.

You may connect several 𝕏 accounts, and posting from more than one is fine. Each is verified on its own and must meet eligibility on its own. What is not fine is using them to take more slots on a bounty than it allows you, or connecting an account you do not control. Either forfeits the earnings and can end your access.

Keep your sign-in and any API keys you create to yourself. An API key acts as you across the whole API, so treat it like a password, and revoke it in your account settings the moment you think it has leaked. You are responsible for what happens under your account and your keys.

Bounties set their own floors. Unless a bounty says otherwise, a creator account needs at least 500 followers and must be at least 6 months old. A bounty can raise or lower both, and can be limited to 𝕏 verified (Premium) accounts. The bounty page shows the floors that apply to it.

Eligibility is checked against the follower count and account age we captured from public 𝕏 data when you connected that 𝕏 account, not against your numbers today. If you have grown past a floor since then, write to support@paidhype.com and we will refresh it.

Claiming also runs an automated check of your account against the brand. A bounty can auto-approve above a score threshold or send every claim to a person; either way, a claim can sit in review before you are cleared.

Do not publish until your claim is cleared. While it is in review we refuse the submission outright, and the 60-minute clock in section 6 runs from the moment you published, not from the moment you were cleared. Post early and you will usually lose the post.

We can decline or remove an account from the platform where content presents a brand-safety risk, where we reasonably believe activity is inauthentic, or where we are required to.

Claiming reserves nothing. A slot is taken when a post is actually submitted, first come first served. If the slots fill before you submit, your post does not count and you are not paid for it.

Claiming runs the eligibility checks and issues your tracked link. It is a starting action, not a reservation. The bounty page shows a live slots-remaining count. Check it before you post, not after. A slot goes back into the pool when a post is rejected or forfeited, so a full bounty can reopen.

The number of posts you may submit per bounty is set by the brand and defaults to one. A bounty can also carry a claim window: once that window closes, or the brand pauses or completes the bounty, no new claims are accepted.

The deal is fixed the moment you claim. We take a copy of the bounty’s rate, cap, view floor and hold, and of the rules your post will be judged against: the brief, the approved claims, the hard rules and the disclosure setting. Your claim is scored and paid on that copy. A brand editing the bounty afterwards changes nothing for you, and once anyone has submitted, its rate, cap, view floor and hold are locked for everyone.

Fresh posts only. The tweet must be published after you claim, and the URL must be submitted within 60 minutes of the tweet’s own timestamp. Anything older is void. This is how measurement sees the view curve from the start.

One tweet, one claim. A tweet ID attaches to exactly one claim across the whole platform, permanently. Duplicates are rejected at submission.

Write your own post. The brief is a guideline, not a script. Submissions are compared against other submissions on the same bounty, and copy-paste or near-duplicate posts are rejected.

Stay inside the brand’s approved claims. Every submission is checked against the bounty brief, the brand’s approved-claims list, and any hard rules that brand has set (things it will never allow said about it). Posts that break any of them are rejected. You can check a draft before you publish, up to 5 times per bounty per day. A draft check is advice, not a promise: the binding check runs on the published post.

Disclosure. Where a brand has disclosure enabled, your post must carry the #PaidHype tag, and a post without it is rejected. Separately, and whatever our settings say, you are responsible for complying with the advertising-disclosure rules that apply where you live, and with 𝕏’s own paid-partnership policy, which asks you to turn on 𝕏’s built-in Paid Partnership label when you compose a paid post. In the United States that also means the FTC endorsement guides. If 𝕏 removes your post for a missing disclosure, that is a deleted post under section 7 and it pays $0.

Links. Each bounty sets one of three link modes and the bounty page says which. In link in post mode the post must carry the link, and a post without one is rejected. In no link mode any link at all is rejected. In link in first reply mode the link goes in your own first reply. Wherever a link is allowed, only the tracked link we issue you or the brand’s own URL is permitted; third-party shorteners are always rejected.

The first reply counts as part of the post. Where a bounty puts the link in the first reply, that reply must stay up and unedited on the same terms as the post itself: deleting or editing it forfeits the claim. Payment is still calculated from views on the post, not on the reply.

Nothing unlawful. No content that is illegal, defamatory, hateful, or infringing, and nothing that breaks𝕏’s own rules. Breaking this forfeits the claim.

A submitted post is either approved, rejected, or sent to a person to decide. Your first-ever post on PaidHype always goes to a person when it clears the automated checks. A post can also be rejected by the brand funding the bounty when it reviews the queue, and a rejected post pays $0 and returns its slot.

After approval, changing the post text at all disqualifies the claim. Not just a rewrite: fixing a typo, adding a word, or swapping an emoji all count. Only spacing and capitalisation are ignored. If it is not right, do not publish it.

Deleting the post, or having it suspended, before the hold ends forfeits the payout, including when 𝕏 removes it rather than you.

We re-read your post text and its links on every measurement pass. A change to the text after approval, or a change to where a link resolves, disqualifies the claim. Where the bounty puts the link in your first reply, that reply is held to the same rules: deleting it, replacing it with another reply, editing it or repointing its link all disqualify the claim.

Approval is final in your favour. Once a post is approved we cannot un-approve it. After that it can only lose its payout in four ways: you change the text of the post or of the reply carrying the link, the post is deleted or suspended, a link stops resolving where it did when it was approved, or we make a fraud finding under section 10.

We know the deletion rule is blunt where the removal was not your doing. It is deliberate: we cannot measure a post that no longer exists, and we are not able to distinguish reliably between the reasons it stopped existing. Keep the post up through the window.

Protecting or suspending the account has the same effect in practice. If your account goes private or is suspended, the post stops returning public metrics. We keep checking, and if it comes back before the window ends, measurement resumes. Views we could not see are not paid.

Going private is not the same thing. If your account is protected we simply stop being able to read the post; the views we already measured stand, and measurement resumes if it becomes public again.

Each bounty states its rate, its per-post cap and its view floor. By default that is $1 per 1,000 verified views, capped at $50 per post, with a floor of 1,000 views. Brands can change all three, subject to a minimum cap of $10, and the bounty page always shows what applies, including when a bounty has no cap.

Below the bounty’s view floor, 1,000 verified views by default, a post earns $0. Not a reduced amount: nothing. If your posts do not usually reach that, this platform will not pay you.

Above the floor, the payout is min(cap, views ÷ 1,000 × rate), rounded down to the cent, using the highest verified view count we recorded during the measurement window rather than the last reading, since providers occasionally report low.

Our fee comes off that figure. A bounty’s rate is gross. We charge 15% of what a post earns, and pay you the rest; the brand funding the bounty pays the same 15% on top of the same figure. The cap is applied before our fee, so a $50 cap means a post can earn $50 gross and pay you $42.50. Your claim page shows the gross, the fee and the net for that claim before you post and again after release, and every ledger entry stores all three.

The percentage that applies to a claim is the one in force when you claimed it, and it is stored on the claim. If we change it, the change applies to claims made afterwards and never to a post already up. Claims made before this fee existed carry no fee, permanently.

The measurement window starts when you submit and ends when the bounty’s hold ends, 14 days later by default. We read your post often in the first days and daily after that, and the payout is worked out from the readings taken inside that window. Views that arrive afterwards do not add to it, which is why a post that goes viral late earns less than the same post going viral early.

Our measurement is what pays. Views are read from public 𝕏 data through our metrics provider on our schedule. Screenshots, 𝕏 analytics and third-party dashboards are not a basis for payment, though we will look at them if you think we got something wrong. Measurement can be interrupted, by our provider being down, by 𝕏, or by our own limits on how much data we buy in a day. A post we were never able to measure at all is held rather than settled at $0, and we keep trying past the window until we can read it. If you think an outage cost you views inside your window, tell us at support@paidhype.com with the dates and we will look at the reading history.

Pay is purely for performance. There are no appearance fees, no flat per-post payments and no guaranteed minimum: a post that earns nothing is paid nothing, and our 15% is charged on what a post earns and on nothing else. Nothing is billed to you for signing up, claiming, submitting or cashing out.

Earnings become payable after the bounty’s hold, counted from when you submitted the post, and only once the post is approved. The hold is 14 days unless the bounty says otherwise, and your earnings page shows the date that applies to your claim. A post still waiting on review, or frozen for fraud, stays unpaid until that is resolved, however long the hold has run.

Once your payable balance reaches $25 you can request a cashout, which an administrator reviews and approves before funds move. We aim to review requests promptly.

Balances are per 𝕏 account, not per person. If you post from two connected accounts, each has its own balance, its own Stripe onboarding and its own $25 floor to clear. They do not add up.

Your earnings page shows every connected account together so you can see the whole picture, but each one cashes out on its own.

Payouts run through Stripe Connect. Before your first cashout you complete Stripe’s onboarding: identity, bank details, and tax forms where required. Stripe holds that information; we do not see your bank details or government ID.

Taxes are yours. You are responsible for any tax on what you earn. Where the law requires it we or Stripe will issue tax documents, and you must give accurate tax information to be paid.

We can only pay creators in countries Stripe supports for payouts. Once we know your country and Stripe does not support it, you cannot claim bounties at all. Your country is learned from Stripe onboarding, so connect Stripe before you spend effort posting.

We also cannot pay anyone in a country under applicable sanctions or trade restrictions, and you confirm you are not subject to them. Balances are held and calculated in US dollars; if your bank account is in another currency, Stripe converts at its own rate when it pays out, so the amount landing in your account may differ from the dollar figure shown in your earnings.

A balance below the cashout floor is still yours. If you stop using PaidHype while holding less than $25, write to support@paidhype.com and we will pay it out. We do not keep it, and we do not expire it.

Dormant balances. If your account goes unused and you have not requested a cashout for two years, we will try to reach you at the email on your account before treating the balance as unclaimed, and we handle unclaimed amounts as the law requires.

We screen for inauthentic performance, for example views rising without matching engagement, or a post far outside an account’s own history. Flagged posts are frozen pending human review rather than paid automatically.

Buying views, engagement or followers, coordinating artificial amplification, running multiple accounts to take more slots than a bounty allows, or misrepresenting who controls an account will forfeit affected earnings and can end your access to the platform.

We can reclaim money already paid. Where we establish after a payout that the performance behind it was artificial or these terms were broken, we can recover that amount, including by setting it off against your future earnings.

If you think a decision is wrong, including one an automated check made, contact us at support@paidhype.com and a person will review it. We keep the measurement history and the reasoning behind every decision.

Your post stays yours. We claim no ownership of anything you write or publish.

By submitting a post for a bounty you give the brand funding it and Momentum Labs LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, copy, analyse, view, share, embed, quote and repost that post, with attribution to your account, for running the bounty, for marketing, and for reporting on the campaign. Storing and analysing it is how we measure and pay you, and it includes passing the text to the automated checks described in our Privacy Policy. That licence covers the post you submitted, not your account as a whole, and it survives the end of these terms for material already published.

You confirm you have the rights to what you post, including any music, images or footage in it, and that it does not infringe anyone.

We show your handle and follower count to the brand funding a bounty you claim, and in that brand’s reporting. That brand also sees the scores our automated checks produce about your account, brand fit, bot likelihood and content risk, with the reasoning behind each. Our Privacy Policy explains how those are made and how to challenge them.

Being listed publicly on paidhype.com. An 𝕏 handle you connect from now on is listed publicly by default: the handle, its avatar, and the bounties it has completed. A handle connected before we changed this stays off until you turn it on — we did not switch anyone on retroactively. Either way the setting is yours, it is in your account settings under the handle it belongs to, and you can turn it on or off whenever you like. Turning it off removes you from the public pages; it does not affect your claims, your balance, or what the brands you have worked with can see.

If you fund bounties, you are responsible for your brief, your approved-claims list, your hard rules and your own URLs, and for having the right to the brand assets you upload. You give us a licence to use those assets to run your bounty.

Know what you are committing to. The create-bounty screen shows the maximum you could owe: slots multiplied by the per-post cap, plus our 15% on that total. A bounty with no cap has no maximum: that screen says so, and you are taking uncapped exposure on every slot.

What your bounty earns is your cost, plus our fee. Creator earnings on your bounty are yours to fund, and we charge 15% of those earnings on top of them. A post that earns $50 at your rate costs you $57.50. The creator is charged the same 15% out of their side, which is why the two numbers on your dashboard — what creators earned and what you owe — are different. The create-bounty screen and your workspace dashboard both show the fee-inclusive figure, because that is the number you are actually committing to. If you stop funding a bounty that is already running, we can pause it and recover what it has already earned; we will not take that out of what a creator has already earned.

Once a creator has submitted against your bounty, its rate, cap, view floor and hold are locked. Everything else stays editable.

Approving or rejecting a creator’s post is your decision. We provide the compliance check; we do not indemnify you for what a creator writes, and the compliance check is not legal or advertising-law advice.

You are responsible for your own advertising-law obligations as the advertiser, including disclosure rules that apply to sponsored content in the markets you sell in.

PaidHype is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

In particular, we do not promise that any bounty will be available to you, that a post will reach any number of views, that you will earn anything, that the service will be uninterrupted, or that our measurement will be free of error.

We depend on 𝕏. Views come from public 𝕏 data, and 𝕏 controls its platform, its rules and its data access. If 𝕏 changes or withdraws our access to that data we may be unable to measure a claim, and where that happens we will pay what we were able to verify and tell you what we could not. A post 𝕏 itself removes is a different case: that is a deleted post under section 7 and it pays $0.

To the extent the law allows, neither we nor our service providers (our hosting, database, payment, email and metrics providers) are liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or lost business opportunity, however it arises.

Our total liability to you, for everything arising out of these terms, is capped at the greater of two figures: what we paid or owed you in the 12 months before the claim arose, or $100. If you are a brand, it is the greater of what you paid us in those 12 months, or $500.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Where you deal with us as a consumer, you keep the consumer rights the law where you live gives you, and nothing here takes them away.

You cover us against claims, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from what you post, from your breach of these terms, or from your breach of the law or of 𝕏’s rules. Brands cover us the same way for their brief, their approved claims, their assets and their products.

We will tell you promptly about any such claim and will not settle it in a way that puts an obligation on you without asking you first.

You can stop using PaidHype at any time. Earnings already verified and past their hold remain payable to you, subject to these terms.

We can suspend or close an account for breach of these terms, for fraud, or where we are required to. Where we do so for fraud, we may withhold affected earnings.

Sections 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18 and 19 survive the end of these terms, so our obligation to pay a balance you have already earned, and a brand’s obligation to fund what its bounty already earned, both outlive the account they sat under.

We will post any change here and update the date at the top. Changes do not apply retroactively to posts already submitted: the terms that applied when you submitted are the ones that govern that post.

Where a change materially affects your rights we will tell you directly before it takes effect. Continuing to use PaidHype after a change takes effect is acceptance of it. If you do not accept a change, stop using the platform and cash out any payable balance.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Talk to us first. Before starting anything formal, email support@paidhype.com with what happened and what you want. Most payout disputes are a measurement question we can answer from the record, and we will try to resolve it within 30 days. This step is required of both of us, and it settles almost everything.

Raise it within a year. A dispute about a specific payout has to reach us within 12 months of the date that payout was released or refused. We keep the measurement record behind it for longer than that, so bring it to us and we will look.

If talking does not settle it, we each give up the right to a court and a jury and go to arbitration instead, one person at a time. No class actions, no collective actions, and no acting as a representative for anyone else. If that last sentence is unenforceable where you are, the whole of this arbitration agreement falls away and section 18 goes back to the courts of the State of Wyoming, United States.

Arbitration is run by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, by one arbitrator, in English. It happens by documents or by video, or in person in the county where you live if you ask for that. The arbitrator decides what these terms mean and can award whatever a court could award you individually, but cannot award anything to anyone who is not a party. We pay the filing and arbitrator fees that those rules put on us, and we will not ask you for our legal costs unless the arbitrator finds your claim was frivolous.

You can opt out, and it costs you nothing. Email support@paidhype.com with the subject line “arbitration opt-out” and your account email within 30 days of accepting these terms, and this arbitration agreement does not apply to you. Nothing else changes, and it has no effect on your account.

Two things stay outside arbitration for both of us: a claim small enough for a small-claims court in a place that has jurisdiction, and an application for an injunction to stop misuse of intellectual property or account credentials.

Consumers keep their local rights. If you live somewhere whose law gives you the right to bring a claim locally, under your own law, or before your own courts, and does not allow that right to be signed away, none of this section takes it from you. In the EU and the UK in particular, you keep the right to sue where you live.

Where a court or arbitrator is the right venue rather than arbitration, proceedings go to the state or federal courts located in the State of Wyoming, United States, and we each agree to that venue, subject to the paragraph above.

These terms, our Privacy Policy, and the terms shown on a bounty you claim are the whole agreement between us about PaidHype, and replace anything said before.

If any part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Not enforcing something once does not waive it. You may not transfer your rights under these terms without our consent; we may transfer ours to a company that takes over this business.

Nobody outside this agreement gets rights under it, with one exception: the brand funding a bounty you claim can rely on the licence in section 11 directly. Section headings are there to help you find things and do not change what a section means.

We are not liable for a failure caused by something outside our reasonable control, including a platform outage, a change in𝕏’s access, or an act of government.

We send notices to the email address on your account, so keep it current. Day to day, your earnings page is the record, as section 3 says. You send notices to us at support@paidhype.com.

Questions about these terms, a payout, or a decision you think is wrong: support@paidhype.com.
