All content provided on the Services, including text, graphics, logos, images, audio clips, and software (excluding User Content and Creator Content, as defined below), is the property of TCA or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.

B. User Content (UGC)

“User Content” means any content that a user (non-creator/non-volunteer) submits, posts, or displays on the Services, such as comments or forum posts.

  • You retain all rights to your UGC.
  • By submitting UGC, you grant TCA a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and display your UGC in connection with the Services.

C. Creator Content (UGC from Official Creators)

“Creator Content” means videos, articles, audio, and other media produced and uploaded by an individual who has been formally onboarded by TCA.

  • Creator Retains Ownership: The Creator (or their legal guardian) retains full ownership of their Creator Content.
  • License Grant: The Creator grants TCA a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, distribute, and promote the Creator Content across our Services and social media channels.
  • Exclusivity Clause (Paid Content): For content designated as “subscriber-exclusive,” the Creator agrees that such content will not be made publicly available on other free platforms (e.g., public YouTube, public blog) for a period of twelve (12) months from its initial publication on TCA.

3. Creator Monetisation and Payment

A. 100% Revenue Model

For paid content creators, TCA operates a 100% Creator-Centric model.

  • All subscription revenue generated directly from a Creator’s dedicated subscription tiers ($3, $5, $10, etc.) will be passed through entirely to the Creator.
  • TCA does not take any cut or commission from these specific Creator subscription fees.
  • The Creator is responsible for any taxes, duties, or other fees associated with receiving these payments.

B. Payment Processing

All payment processing will be handled by a secure third-party payment provider (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). TCA is not responsible for any fees charged by the payment processor or for any issues arising from the processing service.

C. Exclusive Content Commitment

Creators who participate in the subscription model agree to provide the minimum required exclusive content as outlined in their separate onboarding agreement. Failure to meet these commitments may result in the termination of the Creator arrangement.

4. Volunteer and Non-Monetary Roles

Roles such as Commentator, Analyst, Writer, and Producer are defined as volunteer, non-paid positions. These individuals contribute their time, skills, and expertise for the benefit of the TCA community and platform.

  • No Employment: Participation in these roles does not create an employment relationship between the volunteer and TCA.
  • Reimbursement: TCA is not obligated to provide wages, salaries, benefits, or travel cost reimbursement unless a specific, written agreement for reimbursement is in place.
