FEES & PAYMENTS
Commercial
arrangements.
Fees, commissions and payment obligations are governed by the applicable agreement between Essor Management and the relevant creator or brand. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the following provisions apply.
Creator Representation
Commission is payable only on opportunities that have been introduced, negotiated or otherwise facilitated by Essor Management.
Opportunities independently sourced by a creator, without any involvement from Essor Management, are not subject to commission unless expressly agreed in writing.
The applicable commission percentage and commercial arrangements will be specified within the relevant representation agreement.

Payment deadlines shall be specified in the applicable agreement or invoice. Failure to make payment by the due date may result in payment reminders, suspension of services, recovery costs, statutory interest and other legal remedies available under Dutch law.
Essor Management reserves the right to suspend ongoing services until outstanding invoices have been paid in full.
PROTECTED RELATIONSHIPS
Relationships
built by Essor.
Essor Management invests significant time and resources into developing relationships between creators and brands. These relationships are protected to ensure that introductions and commercial opportunities created by the agency remain fairly attributed to its work.
Protected Relationships
Any brand, creator or business partner introduced by Essor Management shall be considered a protected relationship where the introduction resulted from the agency's efforts.
Protection applies regardless of whether an immediate partnership is concluded following the introduction.
Protection Period
Protected relationships remain protected for a period of twelve (12) months following the most recent introduction or commercial discussion facilitated by Essor Management.
Any extension or renewal may be agreed separately in writing.
Non-Circumvention
During the protection period, creators, brands and other business partners shall not intentionally bypass, circumvent or exclude Essor Management for the purpose of entering into commercial relationships that were introduced or facilitated by the agency.
If a protected relationship results in a commercial collaboration during the protection period, Essor Management shall remain entitled to the applicable commission or agreed compensation, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Nothing in this section prevents creators or brands from independently pursuing relationships that existed prior to Essor Management's involvement or that were developed entirely without the agency's participation.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Ownership
and usage rights.
Each party retains ownership of its own intellectual property. Nothing contained within these Terms & Conditions transfers ownership unless expressly agreed in writing.
Creator Content
Creators retain ownership of all original content, photographs, videos, creative concepts and other intellectual property created by them, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Agency Materials
Essor Management retains ownership of all agency branding, internal frameworks, templates, proposals, methodologies, operating materials, documents, systems and business processes.
Brand Assets
Brands retain ownership of their trademarks, logos, products, marketing materials and all associated intellectual property.
Usage Rights & Licences
Any licence to use creator content, brand assets or other intellectual property shall be governed solely by the applicable campaign agreement or other written agreement between the relevant parties.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, no party receives ownership of another party's intellectual property through participation in a campaign, partnership or commercial relationship.
Essor Management may reference completed partnerships and collaborations within its portfolio, website, presentations and marketing materials, unless the applicable agreement expressly provides otherwise or confidentiality obligations prohibit such use.
CONFIDENTIALITY & PRIVACY
Protecting
confidential information.
Essor Management values trust, discretion and the responsible handling of information. All parties are expected to protect confidential information shared during discussions, negotiations and commercial relationships.
Confidential Information
Confidential information includes any non-public commercial, financial, operational, contractual, strategic or technical information disclosed during the course of a business relationship.
Unless otherwise agreed, confidential information shall only be used for the purpose for which it was disclosed.
Permitted Disclosure
Confidential information may only be disclosed where required by applicable law, a court order or a competent governmental authority, or where the receiving party has obtained prior written consent.
Information that is already publicly available, independently obtained or lawfully received from a third party shall not be considered confidential.
Privacy & Data Protection
Essor Management may collect, process and store personal data where necessary to provide its services, manage commercial relationships and comply with applicable legal obligations.
Personal data is processed in accordance with applicable privacy legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and as further described in the Essor Management Privacy Policy.
Confidentiality and data protection obligations continue to apply after the termination of any agreement, to the extent required by law or by the nature of the information concerned.
LIABILITY
Responsibilities
and liability.
Essor Management performs its services with reasonable care, professionalism and diligence. Each party remains responsible for its own actions, obligations and compliance with applicable laws.
Essor Management
Essor Management provides representation, introductions, strategic advice and campaign management but does not guarantee commercial outcomes or campaign performance.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Essor Management shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages, including loss of revenue, profit, reputation, goodwill or business opportunities.
Creator Responsibility
Creators remain solely responsible for the content they publish, statements they make, compliance with advertising regulations, tax obligations and all applicable laws.
Creators warrant that they have the necessary rights to publish and license their content where applicable.
Brand Responsibility
Brands remain solely responsible for their products, services, campaign instructions, advertising claims, legal compliance and payment obligations.
Essor Management does not verify the legality, quality or performance of products or services offered by brands.
Independent Relationship
Nothing contained within these Terms & Conditions or any related agreement shall be interpreted as creating an employment relationship, partnership, joint venture, agency relationship between creators and brands, or ownership interest between any of the parties.
Essor Management acts solely as an independent management and representation agency unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.
Where liability cannot legally be excluded, Essor Management's liability shall be limited to the amount paid by the client for the specific services giving rise to the claim, except where mandatory law provides otherwise.
COMMUNICATION & TERMINATION
Clear communication.
Professional relationships.
Clear communication and transparent expectations are fundamental to every relationship with Essor Management. These Terms describe how official communication takes place and how agreements may come to an end.
Official Communication
Email shall be the official communication channel for contractual, legal, financial and operational matters unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Telephone calls, messaging applications and social media may be used for day-to-day communication but shall not constitute official legal notice.
Termination
Agreements may be terminated in accordance with their individual contractual provisions or by mutual written agreement between the parties.
Essor Management reserves the right to suspend or terminate services immediately where there is a material breach of these Terms, unlawful conduct, fraudulent activity or behaviour that could reasonably damage the reputation or interests of Essor Management or its clients.

The following provisions shall continue to apply after termination where applicable:
- Outstanding payment obligations
- Confidentiality obligations
- Protected relationship provisions
- Intellectual property rights
- Liability limitations
- Any provisions intended to survive termination
