Recurring creator access
Creator memberships are not included in the initial Exchange release. These terms describe how a membership works when it is offered and accepted; they do not create a subscription.
Proposed recurring-billing and content-access rules for memberships sold by creators on Aethera.
Version 2026-09-13.1 · Effective September 13, 2026
The identified creator is the seller and licensor of creator benefits and content. Aethera operates the marketplace, checkout, delivery, records, and enforcement. Creator memberships use their separately recorded recurring payment flow; they are not silently converted into Exchange one-time destination charges.
Before payment information is requested, checkout must clearly show the creator, tier, included benefits and content, price, taxes if known, billing interval, trial terms, first charge or conversion date, automatic renewal, cancellation method, refund rule, and how content licensing changes when access ends. Renewal consent must be separate, affirmative, and unchecked by default.
A membership bills in advance and renews for the disclosed interval until canceled. A retainable confirmation must record the exact seller, tier, price, interval, policies, license, and cancellation method accepted. Marketing opt-out does not stop required transactional billing notices.
The authenticated beneficiary account may cancel online without contacting the creator. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period unless law requires otherwise. Aethera must provide retainable confirmation. Creator offboarding or loss of promised benefits may end renewal sooner and can trigger case-by-case review.
Any longer notice or additional right required by applicable law controls.
Included marketplace content uses the Aethera Exchange Commercial Content License. While access is active, a member may download included content and begin new projects. After access ends, a member may finish and continue using a project or campaign that genuinely incorporated the content before expiration, but may not start a new campaign, sequel, client engagement, or other separate work.
A download or bookmark alone does not start a project. New downloads stop at expiration. A separately purchased buy-to-keep entitlement continues under its recorded one-time license.
Creators must keep promised recurring benefits materially available while billing continues and explain material limitations accurately. A creator may make reasonable prospective changes, but may not silently replace the core paid benefit, retroactively reduce an acquired license, or continue billing for an empty or abandoned tier.
Membership charges are final, non-refundable, and non-prorated by default. This does not remove a right required by law or a payment provider. Aethera or the creator may review unusual circumstances case by case, including an unauthorized or duplicate charge, non-delivery, fraud, malware or rights removal, or a materially misdescribed or unusable benefit. No discretionary outcome or response time is promised. See the Refund Policy.
A buyer must be at least 13. One-time Exchange purchases for buyers under 18 remain unavailable. For an under-18 creator membership, a verified guardian link must be tied to the exact beneficiary account, creator, tier, price, renewal terms, policies, and license. The adult guardian must confirm legal authority, accept the exact terms, and complete payment. A changed price, tier, license, or policy requires a new approval. The authenticated beneficiary account can cancel online. Until a separate authenticated guardian-payer cancellation route is implemented and verified, the guardian payer may request cancellation through the configured support channel; that missing self-service path blocks launch of this guardian checkout.
These terms supplement the Terms of Service, including its Indiana law, informal support, small-claims, and court provisions. These terms contain no mandatory arbitration agreement and no class-action waiver. Nonwaivable consumer rights remain available.
