1. Overview
Unless a buyout is accepted, creators retain copyright and grant only the campaign licence described in the Master Terms. A buyout is a separate commercial transaction recorded in the platform with snapshotted price, licence version, parties, content ID, and term dates.
2. Licence term
Buyout term is 2 years from the payment date. The quote is frozen at the brand's request using the reel's then-current verified view count. Later view growth does not change the quoted price.
The creator delivers the original video file through KoLink. After payment, the brand may download that file for licensed use during the term.
3. Buyout fee schedule
Price interpolates linearly within each views band (fair average between the band endpoints). Quotes never exceed HK$20,000, regardless of view count. Schedule changes do not alter buyouts already requested or paid.
| Verified views | Quoted buyout (HKD) |
|---|---|
| 0 | HK$1,000 |
| 10,000 | HK$1,500 |
| 30,000 | HK$2,500 |
| 50,000 | HK$4,000 |
| 100,000 | HK$6,000 |
| 200,000 | HK$10,000 |
| 500,000 | HK$15,000 |
| 1,000,000+ | HK$20,000 (maximum) |
Example: 20,000 views interpolates to HK$2,000; 750,000 views interpolates to HK$17,500.
4. Acceptance record
Each accepted buyout stores: content ID, brand, creator, quoted price, accepted price, licence version, rights scope, start date, and end date.
