Definition of Creator
A creator is someone who offers membership to customers on treats plus there are a lot of details here involving payments, fees, taxes and restrictions that you should read in full if you are a creator.
Membership
To become a creator simply launch your page to start your membership. Memberships are for your most passionate fans. You’re inviting them to be part of something exciting that gives them unique benefits they want, like additional access, merchandise, exclusivity, and engaging experiences. In exchange, customers pay on a subscription basis.
Payments
As a creator you make your membership available on treats plus, and we provide membership to your customers on a subscription basis. We also handle payments issues such as fraud, chargebacks and resolution of payments disputes.
We try to provide timely access to your funds, but you may occasionally experience delays in accessing your funds. We may also block or hold payments for violations of our policies or for compliance reasons, including collecting tax reporting information. When payments are delayed or blocked we try to communicate the reason to you promptly. If you have questions about a payments block, please reach out to us using contact form on the website. In order to protect creators, we may block customers’ payments if we believe them to be fraudulent.
Sometimes activities like refunds can put your account balance into the negative. If your balance becomes negative then we may recover those funds from future payments.
Fees
As a creator there are two fees associated with your membership on treats plus. The first is the platform fee, which is 20% of your monthly income at treats plus. The second is the payment processing fee, which is dependent on the currency selected by the creator.
Depending on your customers' locations, some banks may charge your customer a foreign transaction fee for their membership subscription. Treats does not control this charge, but it is typically around 3%.
Tax
We do not handle most tax payments, but we collect tax identification information and report this to tax authorities as legally required. You are responsible for reporting any taxes.
The one tax we do handle on your behalf is VAT payments for electronically supplied services to customers in the EU. For the purpose of electronically supplied services, creators make a supply of those services to us, and then we supply them to the customer.
Restrictions
We don't allow creations and benefits that violate our policies:
If your fans include people under the age of 18, then they will not be able to join your membership, and those under the age of 18 cannot use treats plus. We are not required to allow any particular person or group of persons to be your customer.

There are two types of membership subscriptions. One is a monthly subscription where you pay per month. The other is a per creation subscription where you pay based on the number of creations a creator posts in that month.
The timing and amount of each membership subscription depends on the creator you support. You can see the details as you join and in the receipt sent to you after each successful payment. You can view all your active membership subscriptions and billing history.
You may cancel your membership subscription at any time. We may grant refunds at our sole discretion.
