5. Invoicing and Creator Payments

5.1 Stripe Connect

To receive payments from brands through our platform, you must set up a Stripe Connect account. By onboarding to Stripe Connect, you agree to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes Stripe's terms for identity verification, payouts, and fraud prevention. Direct Collabs is not responsible for Stripe's onboarding requirements or verification processes.

5.2 Invoice Creation and Delivery

Our Service allows you to create and send invoices to brands. When you create an invoice through our platform:

  • You are solely responsible for the accuracy of invoice details, including amounts, descriptions, and recipient information
  • Invoices sent via our platform (“platform invoices”) are processed through Stripe, and brands pay via a Stripe-hosted payment page supporting card, ACH, and wire transfer
  • You may also create invoices with your own payment instructions (“direct invoices”), which are tracked in our system but not processed through Stripe
  • Direct Collabs does not guarantee payment from brands and is not a party to the agreement between you and the brand

5.3 Platform Fees

For invoices processed through our platform via Stripe, Direct Collabs charges a 1% platform fee on each successfully paid invoice. This fee is deducted from the payment amount before funds are deposited to your Stripe Connect account. Standard Stripe processing fees also apply and are set by Stripe.

5.4 Payouts

Payouts for platform-processed invoices are handled by Stripe according to their standard payout schedule. Direct Collabs does not control payout timing, holds, or delays imposed by Stripe. You are responsible for ensuring your Stripe Connect account is in good standing to receive payouts.

5.5 Payment Disputes and Refunds

If a brand disputes a payment or requests a chargeback on a platform-processed invoice:

  • The dispute will be handled in accordance with Stripe's dispute resolution process
  • You are responsible for providing evidence to support the legitimacy of the charge
  • Direct Collabs is not liable for disputed amounts, chargebacks, or any associated fees imposed by Stripe
  • We may assist in providing transaction records, but the dispute remains between you, the brand, and Stripe

5.6 Tax Obligations

You are solely responsible for determining, collecting, reporting, and remitting any applicable taxes related to payments you receive through the Service. Direct Collabs does not provide tax advice and is not responsible for your tax obligations.
