Creator Terms
On Air, operated by JKULDEV LLC · Effective 12 September 2026
For anybody who broadcasts on On Air or is paid by viewers through it. Part
of the Terms of Service, and read alongside
Payments and Copyright &
DMCA.
1. Going live
Two routes, and the rules are the same for both:
- RTMP — we give you an ingress endpoint and a stream key.
The key is yours alone; anybody who has it can broadcast as you.
- An embedded YouTube live stream — you paste your own
video and we show that player.
An account may run one broadcast at a time. Starting a
second replaces the first rather than leaving two rows claiming to be your
stream.
2. You must hold the rights — every time
Before each broadcast you confirm that you hold every right needed for
everything in it: the video, the audio, the music, the
commentary, any sports or event footage, and the appearance of anybody in
shot.
We ask per broadcast rather than once at sign-up, and the server refuses to
start without it. Broadcasting a match, a film, a channel or a track you do not
hold the rights to is the fastest way to lose this account:
| Upheld copyright notices | What happens |
|---|
| 1 | The material comes down; you are told why and by whom |
| 2 | You cannot start a broadcast |
| 3 | The account is closed |
You can answer any of them with a counter-notice — see the
DMCA policy. A withdrawn strike stops counting.
If you are simulcasting your own YouTube stream, note that
some YouTube programmes and deals restrict where else you may broadcast. That
is between you and YouTube; the confirmation above is where you assert you are
free to do it.
3. Labelling
Mark a broadcast 18+ if it needs it. That is a real gate:
signed-out visitors cannot open it, and neither can an account whose recorded
date of birth says under 18. Some categories are 18+ whatever you set.
4. What viewers can pay you, and what you keep
| What | What it is | Your share |
|---|
| Membership |
A monthly membership to your channel, at one platform-wide price |
95% of what arrives after payment-processing
costs |
| Support |
A one-off payment, straight from a viewer's card |
95%, same arithmetic |
| Gifts |
Coins a viewer bought, spent on your stream with their name on
it |
The creator share of what those coins were sold for |
| Advertising |
Adverts served on your channel |
60% to you, 40% to On Air |
| Watch time |
A pool divided among creators by measured watch time from paying
viewers |
Your share of the pool, with a per-hour floor |
| Gold Coins staked |
Coins viewers stake on your predictions |
One cent per thousand staked, in money, at
resolve — out of what the coins were sold for, never out of the
pool. (This read “per hundred” until 2026-09-22, which
was the rate before Gold Coins went to 1,000 to the dollar; it
overstated the fee tenfold. The share of face value is unchanged
at 1%.) |
The splits are of what ARRIVES, not of a headline price.
Payment processing is taken off first, and then the split is applied. This is
deliberate and it is in your favour on small amounts: a percentage of a gross
that the processor has already reduced would quietly make you pay a share of
our costs.
4.1 Memberships: one price, set by the platform
A membership costs the same on every channel and you do not set it. What you
choose is the badge name and the perks you promise — the parts
you keep yourself. The member ladder is tenure, not money: how
long somebody has been with you, from one month to eight years. It costs
nothing to give and cannot be bought.
A member's tenure carries forward across a replaced card. Stripe opens a new
subscription when a card changes, and reading tenure off that would reset a
four-year member to zero for a reason that has nothing to do with them.
4.2 Viewer counts and watch time
The viewer count you are paid against is the server's,
measured from a heartbeat, not the count of people a comment room happened to
connect. An account may hold one live room at a time, on one device: four
devices on one login watching four creators would be four audiences from one
person.
Artificially inflating views, follows, watch time or ad clicks is grounds for
withholding earnings and closing the account.
5. Earnings and payouts
- Earnings accrue to your On Air balance as they are booked, and are paid
out on request.
- A payout is subject to a minimum, and to identity and tax requirements
where they apply to you.
- We may withhold a payout while a copyright complaint, a chargeback or a
fraud investigation about those earnings is open.
- Money reversed by a card issuer or by Stripe is deducted from your
balance. If your balance cannot cover a reversal, the shortfall is owed.
- If we close your account for breaking the terms, we may withhold unpaid
earnings attributable to the breach. Earnings not attributable to it remain
payable.
6. Predictions you ask
You may ask your viewers to predict an outcome, and they back it with points
or Gold Coins — never with money. Three rules bind you:
- You cannot back a question you will decide. The server
refuses it.
- Resolve honestly and promptly. A question left open is
swept and locked automatically, and one locked too long is refunded —
"we forgot" is the commonest way somebody's stake ends up in limbo.
- Winners split what was staked, proportionally. The house is never at
risk and neither are you.
7. Channel rewards and channel points
Viewers earn channel points by watching your
channel, and spend them on rewards you define. Channel points have no cash
value, are specific to your channel, and cannot be bought. What you promise as
a reward is yours to honour.
8. Your own adverts
Choosing the creative that fills your own channel's rail needs
Premium+. Everything you upload is subject to the
Advertiser Terms and to moderation.
9. Ending it
You can stop broadcasting at any time and delete your account from
Settings. Doing so does not cancel your members'
subscriptions for them — tell them, and we will stop billing on the channel.
Payment records are kept as described in the
Privacy Notice §6.
