N1BW PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT
Version 1.1: August 25, 2026
This Participation Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between N1BW, Inc. (“N1BW,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and the individual or entity agreeing to these terms (“Participant,” “you,” or “your”).
1. PURPOSE
N1BW operates a collaborative platform (the “Platform”) for the development, production, and distribution of serialized audiovisual content (“Projects”). You wish to participate in one or more Projects to be developed and produced via the Platform, either as the person who runs the Project and will ultimately own all rights in the Project (the “Creator”) or as a person who is approved by the Creator to fulfill a specified role in the Project (a “Contributor”).
This Agreement governs your participation in Projects, ownership of content created as part of Projects, distribution rights relating to such content, and any compensation or revenue participation made available through the Platform.
2. DEFINITIONS
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO EXISTING PROJECTS
If you contribute to a Project as a Contributor:
3A. SUBMISSION, REVIEW, AND ACCEPTANCE
All Contributions are subject to review by us, and all Contributions by Contributors are subject to review by the Creator.
Each Contribution may be:
Acceptance is determined by:
Failure to follow project guidelines, specifications, or reasonable creative direction may result in rejection or requests for revision.
If you are a Contributor, you will be eligible to receive payments under Section 6 or otherwise in connection with the Project only if you submit all Contributions that are assigned to you and all such Contributions are ultimately accepted by us and the Creator.
For clarity, we have no obligation to review Contributions, and any Contribution will be deemed to have been accepted by us unless it is rejected within a reasonable time.
4. CREATION OF NEW PROJECTS
If you create a new Project:
5. PLATFORM DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS
If you are a Creator with respect to any Project, you grant N1BW a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, reproduce, encode, transcode, distribute, stream, publicly perform, publicly display, promote, and monetize the Work Product through the Platform and through N1BW-authorized distribution channels.
The license granted under this Section is non-exclusive. The Creator may distribute, exhibit, license, sell, stream, publish, or otherwise exploit the Work Product through any other platform, service, distributor, or medium, subject to any separate agreement entered into by the Creator.
Nothing in this Agreement requires the Creator to remit to N1BW or to Contributors any revenue received by the Creator from exploitation of the Work Product outside the Platform. N1BW encourages Creators, where appropriate, to honor off-platform the economic participations established for Contributors through the Platform, but any binding obligation relating to off-platform revenue must arise under a separate agreement.
The license granted to N1BW includes the right to:
The Creator may withdraw Work Product from the Platform upon written notice to N1BW, subject to a reasonable technical period for removal and subject to any continuing rights reasonably necessary to honor access previously purchased by users in Paid Transactions.
5A. MODIFICATION AND ADAPTATION
N1BW shall have the right to modify, adapt, and present Work Product for purposes of distribution and promotion, including:
Such modifications do not affect ownership of underlying intellectual property.
6. AVAILABILITY, PRICING, AND REVENUE PARTICIPATION
6.1 Free or Paid Availability
The Creator may elect to make any item of audiovisual Work Product available on the Platform either:
If the Creator elects paid transactional access, the Creator may select a retail price between $1.99 and $19.99, using price points supported by the Platform.
N1BW may establish and modify the specific permitted price points within that range and may determine the technical mechanism through which Paid Transactions are implemented.
6.2 Tickets and Other Transaction Mechanisms
N1BW may, but is not required to, use tickets as a mechanism through which users complete Paid Transactions.
If tickets are offered, N1BW may set the price of tickets and may offer tickets in bundles incorporating volume discounts, promotional discounts, complimentary tickets, or other pricing structures.
N1BW may alternatively permit Paid Transactions through direct payment or any other payment or access mechanism supported by the Platform.
References in this Agreement to Paid Transactions apply regardless of the technical payment mechanism used.
6.3 Transactional Revenue
Revenue participation under this Section applies only to revenue generated through Paid Transactions.
Making Work Product available free of charge does not, by itself, generate any revenue participation obligation under this Section.
Except where Contributors and the Creator agree that a Contributor will receive a fixed fee or enter into another arrangement, each Participant will receive a share of Net Transactional Revenue attributable to Accepted Contributions submitted by such Participant based on that Participant’s role in the development of the applicable Work Product.
The share allocated to each Participant will be determined by the Creator, subject to acceptance by each Contributor, provided that the sum of all allocations to Participants will equal at least 70% of Net Transactional Revenue.
The default participations for Participants are:
Participants acknowledge that compensation structures may vary by Project and role.
6.4 Net Transactional Revenue
For each Paid Transaction, N1BW will determine the amount actually attributable to that transaction.
Where payment is made using tickets, N1BW may determine the applicable transaction value using the weighted average amount paid for tickets over a reasonable trailing period.
N1BW may deduct reasonable costs allocable to Paid Transactions, including:
The resulting amount is “Net Transactional Revenue.”
6.5 Minimum Payment for Audiovisual Paid Transactions
For audiovisual Work Product offered through Paid Transactions, the aggregate amount allocated to Participants for any applicable month will be the greater of:
Promotional, complimentary, free, or otherwise no-charge access does not constitute a Paid Transaction for purposes of this minimum.
6.6 Statements and Payments
Approximately 45 days after each calendar month in which Paid Transactions occur, we will generate statements reflecting applicable Paid Transactions, Net Transactional Revenue, deductions, and Participant allocations.
If you are a Creator for the applicable Project, we will send you a statement. If you are a Contributor, we will send you a statement relating to your participation in the Project.
Payments will be made through Stripe or another payment processor designated by N1BW and will be subject to tax withholdings, reserves, minimum payment requirements, and onboarding requirements.
Before we can send funds, you must complete payout onboarding, including identity verification and tax documentation — Form W-9 for United States persons, or the applicable Form W-8 for non-United States persons.
Payout onboarding is not required to upload or publish content.
Earnings accrue to your account whether or not onboarding is complete; we simply cannot disburse them until it is. Earnings that remain unclaimed for three years are handled in accordance with applicable unclaimed property law.
We may withhold taxes in our reasonable discretion.
We disburse earnings once your accrued balance exceeds $50; below that amount, the balance carries forward.
We may hold a reserve of up to 10% of your earnings for up to 90 days against anticipated refunds and chargebacks.
If you disagree with any statement, you must notify us within 12 months of the statement date. You waive any objections to any statement that you do not make within 12 months.
If a refund, chargeback, or fraud reversal is processed after we have already paid you for the underlying Paid Transaction, we may offset that amount against your future earnings. If your account balance is negative when this Agreement ends, we may invoice you for the outstanding amount if it exceeds $100, and you will pay any such invoice promptly.
We do not guarantee any revenue, audience size, number of views, level of promotion, catalog placement, or continued availability of the service or of any feature.
N1BW may reasonably refine allocation and transactional mechanics as needed, provided the overall structure remains materially consistent.
7A. ELIGIBILITY FOR REVENUE PARTICIPATION
Only Accepted Contributions that are included in the final Work Product are eligible for revenue participation.
Submission of a Contribution does not entitle a Participant to any revenue share unless and until such Contribution is accepted and incorporated into the final Work Product.
7B. ROLE-BASED BUYOUTS
A Creator may designate certain roles within a Project as “buyout roles” rather than revenue participation roles.
Revenue allocation for each Project shall be determined based on the role structure defined for that Project.
7C. BUYOUT FUNDING AND ROLE ACTIVATION
For roles designated as buyout roles, the Creator shall specify the applicable compensation through N1BW platform mechanisms.
Buyout roles shall not be active unless and until sufficient funding has been provided by the Creator.
Until such funding is provided:
Upon acceptance of a Contribution for a funded buyout role, N1BW shall distribute the specified compensation to the Participant in accordance with platform terms.
All compensation for buyout roles is funded by the Creator, and N1BW acts solely as a facilitator of such payments.
8. SANCTIONS AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE
Payments are subject to applicable laws and regulations, including sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.
N1BW may:
9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
You represent and warrant that:
10. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless N1BW and its affiliates from any claims arising from:
11. PLATFORM AND CREATOR DISCRETION
The Creator shall have sole discretion over creative decisions, including:
N1BW shall have reasonable discretion with respect to:
N1BW and the Creator may remove or modify content as necessary to meet these standards.
Contributor status may be granted or revoked by the Creator or N1BW in connection with project needs, platform standards, or participation requirements.
Where a Contributor has been assigned a specific task or role within a Project, such assignment may not be revoked arbitrarily. Contributors shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to complete assigned work, subject to:
In addition, Contributor status or assigned roles may be revoked where a Participant engages in conduct that materially disrupts the Project, the N1BW community, or the collaborative process, including conduct on or off the Platform that is reasonably likely to harm the Project, its participants, or its public perception.
11A. CREDITS
Participation in a Project does not guarantee any on-screen, on-platform, or promotional credit.
Credits, if any, will be determined by the Creator, subject to N1BW’s final approval and platform presentation requirements.
12. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES
Participants are independent contributors. Nothing in this Agreement creates employment, partnership, or joint venture.
13. CONFIDENTIALITY
You agree not to disclose non-public information about Projects or platform operations without permission.
14. ARBITRATION
Any dispute arising from this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in California.
15. THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY
If you are a Contributor, then the Creator for each Project in which you participate will be a third-party beneficiary of all of your obligations under this Agreement as they relate to that Creator’s Project.
16. GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts entered into and performed in California by residents thereof.
17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter.
18. MODIFICATIONS
Your acceptance covers every Project in which you participate afterward.
You will not be asked to accept again unless we make changes to this Agreement, in which case we will request your acceptance of the modified version of this Agreement before your next upload.
If you do not accept the modified version of this Agreement, you will not be permitted to continue participating in any Projects via the Platform.
