Membership
To become a creator, simply launch your page to start your membership. When you join RoosterClubs, you become part of the RoosterClubs community. You can use creator tools that RoosterClubs provides, showcase your creations, and receive recurring revenue from your page. Memberships are for your most passionate fans. On RoosterClubs, you can provide your subscribers something exciting that gives them unique benefits they want, like additional access. In turn, you will receive loyal support from your fans, and recurring revenue from memberships that fans have purchased from RoosterClubs.
As a creator you make your membership available on RoosterClubs, and we provide membership to your fans 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 email us at info@roosterclubs.com. In order to protect creators, we may block fans’ 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 reserve the right to recover those funds from future payments.
Content that is suitable for audiences only 18+ years old is prohibited on RoosterClubs. If content is reported as being suitable for only an 18+ community then the content will be removed and/or the creator may be banned from RoosterClubs. To report content that you believe meets this criteria, please email info@roosterclubs.com.
As a creator there are two fees associated with your membership on RoosterClubs. The first is the platform fee, which is 7% and the second is the payment processing fee, which is 3.4% plus $0.30 per successful transaction.
Depending on your fans’ locations, some banks may charge your fan a foreign transaction fee for their membership subscription. RoosterClubs does not control this charge, but it is typically around 3.0% .
We collect tax identification information and report this to tax authorities as legally required. You are responsible for reporting any income or withholding taxes which may be due as a result of payments received. We are additionally responsible for a number of transactional taxes in the US. These include but are not limited to state sales tax as a result of ‘marketplace laws’ within the United States. For the purpose of electronically-supplied services, creators make a supply of those services to us, and then we supply them to the fan. Applicable tax will not be taken from a subscription payment, but rather will be charged in addition to the subscription payment. Once settled, the tax amount will be automatically deducted for remittance to the applicable taxing authority. As a creator on our site, it is your responsibility to provide accurate information when you are answering questions related to tax.
We don’t allow creations and benefits that violate our policies. The rules are that we don’t allow:
If your fans include people under the age of 18, then please remind them that they need permission to join your membership, and those under the age of 13 cannot use RoosterClubs. We are not required to allow any particular person or group of persons to be your fan.
As a creator you are also responsible for keeping fan data safe. An account is tied to your creative output and cannot be sold or transferred for use by another creator.
As a fan, you’re joining RoosterClubs to be part of an exciting movement to support a creator’s membership while you get special benefits, which may include access to your creator and engaging experiences with the creator and fan community. In exchange, you pay RoosterClubs for membership programs, on a subscription basis, to access and support creators you like.
The timing and amount of each membership subscription depends on the type of membership agreement you enter into, and the creator you support. You can see the details as you join, as well as in the receipt sent to you after each successful payment.
To become a fan, simply create an account, add your preferred payment method, and join a membership program on RoosterClubs to start supporting your favorite creator(s)! There is one type of membership subscription, which is a monthly subscription where you pay per month. Your options will be presented to you in the payment flow.
You may cancel your membership payments at any time. Terminating your membership will go into effect in the subsequent (not current) payment term. For monthly payments, canceling your support may result in your loss of access to a creator’s fan-only posts and benefits. These include when you cancel your membership subscription, your payment method fails, the creator blocks you, or the creator deletes their account. We are not required to allow you to be a fan of any particular creator.
Creators’ memberships vary and we have limited control over the quality and specific offerings. We attempt to screen for fraudulent creator pages, but cannot guarantee the identity of creators or the validity of any claims they make. We appreciate your help reporting suspicious creator pages so we can keep RoosterClubs safe.
If you are located in the jurisdiction in which RoosterClubs is required to charge and collect tax (e.g. VAT or, sales tax), then this tax is added to the total charge. Except in limited circumstances, this tax is shown when you set up the initial membership subscription. RoosterClubs remits all tax collected to the applicable taxing authority. As tax is largely dependent on your location, you are responsible for keeping your address complete and up to date.
Depending on your location, some banks may charge you a foreign transaction fee for your membership subscription. RoosterClubs does not control this charge, but it is typically around 3%. Please contact your bank for more information. Refunds. Our policy is No Refunds, though we will allow for some exceptions where refunds are granted in our sole discretion.
We proactively look at some pages and posts on RoosterClubs to make sure creators follow our community guidelines as listed above. We also investigate reports of potential violations. These investigations may take a while to resolve and may include looking at what is supported by funds received through RoosterClubs.
In most situations we will work with creators to resolve any potential violations and allow the creator to continue using RoosterClubs. Terminating accounts is not an action we take lightly and is done in only the most extreme cases. RoosterClubs reserves the right to remove a creator or fan from participating in memberships. Removal of the creator or fan from participation in memberships will prohibit the creator from accepting new payments, and prohibit the fan from making new payments, but will not result in an automatic removal of the creator or fan from the platform, unless there is an independent basis for their removal from the platform. Please let us know if you see potential violations of our community guidelines.
We are constantly testing out new features with the goal of making RoosterClubs better. We may add or remove features, and often test features with a random subset of our community. If we believe a feature is significantly different from these terms, then we explain those differences in the test.
