Fishrift Terms of Service


These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Fishrift and all services, features, and products made available through fishrift.com ("Platform"). By creating an account or using the Platform in any way, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.


1. About Fishrift

Fishrift is a creator platform. We provide tools to manage livestream overlays, alerts, activity feeds, a chatbot, loyalty systems, and public creator profiles.

Fishrift is currently in Alpha. This means features are actively being built and may change, break, or be removed. We will communicate significant changes via email and via Sonar (our in-app notification system) at least 30 days before any material change takes effect.

Creator monetisation features (memberships and digital product sales) are coming soon and are not yet available to creators.


2. Definitions

  • "Fishrift", "we", "us", "our" — Fishrift, operator of the Platform.
  • "Creator" — any user who publishes a profile, accepts donations, creates membership tiers, or sells products on the Platform.
  • "Fan" / "Member" — any user who donates to, subscribes to, or purchases from a Creator.
  • "User" — any person using the Platform, whether Creator, Fan, or visitor.
  • "Content" — any text, images, video, audio, files, or other material published on the Platform.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account, accept payments, or make purchases on the Platform. By using the Platform, you represent that you meet this requirement.

Users must provide accurate, complete, and current information during registration and keep it updated. Accounts created with false information may be suspended or terminated.


4. Accounts

4.1 Registration

To access most Platform features you must register an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

4.2 Account security

Notify us immediately at legal@fishrift.com if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account. Fishrift is not liable for losses resulting from unauthorised use of your account where you have not notified us promptly.

4.3 One account per person

You may not create multiple accounts to circumvent suspensions, bans, or Platform Fee obligations.

4.4 Team access

Creators may invite team members (Engineer, Pilot, Commander, Navigator, Mission Controller) with varying levels of access. Creators are responsible for all actions taken by their team members through Fishrift. Invite links expire in 10 minutes and are single-use. Revoke access immediately if a link is compromised.


5. Monetisation (Coming Soon)

Creator monetisation features, including memberships and digital product sales, are not yet live. When they launch, a separate Monetisation Addendum will be published and will form part of these Terms.

The information in this section will be updated at that time. No monetisation features are active in the current Alpha.


6. Fishrift Platform Subscriptions and the Grandfathering Guarantee

Fishrift offers a free tier (Creator) and paid tiers (Goldfish, Tuna, Shark) that unlock additional platform features.

6.1 The Grandfathering Guarantee

When you subscribe to a paid Fishrift tier, Fishrift takes a snapshot of exactly what that tier includes at that moment — storage, features, and price. This snapshot is your personal agreement with Fishrift. Fishrift will never:

  • Increase the price you pay while your subscription remains active
  • Remove features from your tier while your subscription remains active
  • Reduce your storage allocation while your subscription remains active

If Fishrift improves a tier (adds features, increases storage), existing subscribers may opt into the improvements. Declining an improvement does not affect your existing snapshot.

This guarantee survives any change in Fishrift's ownership or business model.

6.2 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time from Account → Subscription. No dark patterns. One click to cancel.

6.3 EU Right of Withdrawal and Immediate Access

Under EU consumer law (Directive 2011/83/EU, implemented in Dutch law as Boek 6 BW), you ordinarily have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the date of your first payment.

When creator subscriptions launch, Fishrift will implement the appropriate consent capture mechanism at checkout in compliance with Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU. This section will be updated at that time.

You may cancel your subscription at any time from Account → Subscription. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds are issued for remaining days of a paid period, except where required by applicable mandatory law that cannot be excluded by this waiver.

6.4 Price changes for new subscribers

If Fishrift changes the price of a tier for new subscribers, existing subscribers receive at least 30 days' notice before any change affects their billing. Per the Grandfathering Guarantee, existing subscribers never pay the new price unless they cancel and resubscribe.


7. Platform Fees

Fishrift's current fee structure is as follows.

FeaturePlatform fee
Donations through Fishrift0%
