Content Creators will have the possibility to accept or reject for performing the requested services within Keys After joining a campaign a Content Creator have 30 days to create and submit coverage for the game. If no content is submitted during the 30 days the completion rate will decrease. The higher the completion rate is the more likely is it to receive new game keys.

Content Creators will have the possibility to accept, reject or submit a counteroffer for performing the requested services within Quests. Once a bid for a service is accepted by both a Company and a Content Creator the Company will deposit the payment for the services through Stripe. When the Content Creator has performed the requested services the Content Creator will submit a link to the delivered services for approval by the Company. Once the Company has approved the delivered services, you as a Content Creator undertakes to not remove, alter or otherwise adjust the content delivered under a Quest for a period of 90 days unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

All payment transactions between Companies and Content Creators are handled through Stripe, and under no circumstances will Lurkit be liable for any Content Creators services nor Companies’ payment obligations. You are responsible for any and all taxes and fees arising out of your use of the Service.
Description of Creator Program
Lurkit also provides you as a Content Creator and Companies an opportunity to engage and collaborate through a product called creator program ("Creator Program") that is developed with the aim to make community curation workflows simpler, more cost-effective, and simply better.
