These terms govern your use of Licensed IP on WEB as an individual contributor. They apply when you purchase Webbits, publish a Thread or otherwise engage with a Web's IP.
These terms are between you and Better As A Web Inc, a Delaware corporation ("WEB", "we", "us"). Our registered address is 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, USA. For questions, contact us at web@betterasaweb.com.
1. What This License Is
WEB is a platform for collaborative IP creation. Each Web (a "Web") has its own idea and creative and/or technical assets (together, the "Licensed IP"). These Contributor License Terms give individual creators permission to use that Licensed IP to make and sell their own work: fan art, merchandise, short-form content, illustrated goods, digital products, mini-games, apps, codebase contributions, and similar creative or technical outputs.
This is not a commercial license for businesses. It is for individual creators acting in a personal capacity. If you are an incorporated company, agency, studio, or any organisation where more than one person is contributing to or commercialising the licensed work, you need to contact the relevant Web's license holder directly for a separate arrangement.
2. Webbits Must Be Locked
Your Contributor License is only active while your Webbits are locked. This is a core mechanic of WEB: locking your Webbits signals your commitment to the Web and activates your rights under this license.
• You must have at least 1 Webbit locked for your Contributor License to be active.
• If your Webbits are unlocked or transferred, your Contributor License is automatically suspended. You must stop commercial use of the Licensed IP immediately.
• Your license reinstates automatically when you re-lock the required Webbits, provided you are not in breach of these terms.
• Any commercial activity during a period of suspension (when your Webbits are not locked) is unlicensed use and a breach of these terms.
Locking Webbits is also required for your Threads to be eligible for Web Rewards. See Section 5.
3. What You Can Do
While your Contributor License is active, you can create and sell original works that use or are inspired by the Licensed IP. This includes both creative and technical contributions: fan art prints, clothing and accessories, illustrated zines or books, short-form video or audio content, mini-games, apps, codebase contributions, and similar personal projects.
You can earn money from these works, subject to the royalty obligation in Section 4 and the Thread requirement in Section 6.
4. What You Cannot Do
4.1 No Business or Corporate Use
This license is for individual creators only. You may not use the Licensed IP:
• On behalf of, or for the benefit of, any incorporated company, limited liability entity, or partnership
• As part of an agency, studio, production house, or creative business where others are involved in producing or commercialising the work
• In any context where the primary beneficiary is an organisation rather than you as an individual
4.2 Other Prohibited Uses
• Do not use the Licensed IP in a way that falsely implies an official or endorsed relationship with the Web or WEB
• Do not reproduce the Licensed IP in bulk or for wholesale supply
• Do not use the Licensed IP in political campaigns, ideological advocacy, or any content designed to harm, harass, or mislead
• Do not use the Licensed IP to train, fine-tune, or generate outputs from AI models without the explicit written consent of the Web's IP holders
5. Royalty: 5% to Web Rewards
In exchange for your Contributor License, you agree to pay a royalty of 5% of your gross revenue from works created using the Licensed IP.
This royalty is paid into the Web Rewards pool for the relevant Web. It is not a payment to WEB as a company. It flows back to the Web's contributor community and is distributed as Web Rewards to eligible Thread creators.
Royalties are due monthly. Depending on the type of Thread you submit, your royalty payments may be collected automatically by the platform or may require manual payment by you. This will be clearly indicated for each Thread type.
WEB will track royalties that require manual payment. You are responsible for ensuring any owed royalties are paid within 30 days of the end of each calendar month in which you earned revenue under this license.
You are responsible for keeping accurate records of revenue earned under this license. WEB or the Web's IP holders may request these records and you agree to provide them within a reasonable timeframe.
6. Every Licensed Work Must Become a Thread
If you create a work under this license, whether you sell it, share it publicly, or both, you must submit it to the Web as a Thread on the WEB platform.
Thread submission must happen before or at the time you first sell or publicly release the work. You cannot monetise a work using the Licensed IP and then decide whether to submit it later.
Your Thread should accurately describe the work and include relevant links, images, or samples so the community can engage with it.
Submitting a Thread does not transfer ownership of your work. You keep the rights to what you create. The Web's IP remains with its holders. By submitting, you grant the Web a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to display and reference your Thread within the platform.
Failure to submit a Thread for a commercially released or publicly distributed work is a material breach of these terms.
7. Web Rewards Eligibility
Threads you submit are eligible to receive Web Rewards, distributions from the Web's reward pool funded by royalty contributions including your own.
To be eligible at any given distribution:
• Your Webbits must be locked at the time the distribution occurs, not just at the time you submitted the Thread.
• If your Webbits are unlocked during a distribution cycle, your Threads will not receive rewards in that cycle.
• Rewards resume in future cycles once your Webbits are re-locked.
Web Rewards are distributed according to each Web's reward mechanics. Distribution amounts are not guaranteed and will vary based on pool size, contribution quality, and other factors determined by the platform.
8. Ownership
WEB grants you a license to use the Licensed IP. It does not transfer any ownership of it to you. All rights in the Licensed IP remain with the Web's IP holders.
You own the original creative work you make. WEB does not claim ownership of your contributions. However, by submitting a Thread, you allow the Web to display and reference your contribution within the platform context.
9. Suspension and Termination
Your Contributor License suspends automatically if your Webbits fall below the required locked threshold. It reinstates when you re-lock.
Your Contributor License terminates if:
• You materially breach these terms, including selling unlicensed works, failing to submit Threads, or failing to pay royalties, and do not remedy the breach within 14 days of being notified
• You are found to be using this license on behalf of a business or corporate entity
• Either party gives 14 days written notice
On termination, you must stop using the Licensed IP in any commercial context. Royalties accrued up to the termination date remain owed.
10. Changes to These Terms
WEB may update these Contributor License Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the version number and date at the top of this document and notify you via the platform. If you continue to use your Contributor License after we notify you of a material change, that counts as acceptance of the updated terms.
11. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
12. Questions
If you have questions about this license, including queries about commercial licensing for businesses, please contact the relevant Web's license holder directly. Their contact details can be found on the Web's page within the WEB platform.
