No deductions should be made unless permitted by the signed agreement.

Creator questions

BEFORE YOU SUBMIT

Do I give HuntNetwork ownership of my series?

No. Under the standard Free and Pro structures, you retain ownership and grant HuntNetwork a defined licence to host, encode, distribute, schedule and promote the approved content. Originals may have a different negotiated rights structure.

Are views, bookings or revenue guaranteed?

No. HuntNetwork can guarantee delivery of the inclusions purchased under Pro Placement, but audience size, advertising demand, sponsor interest, enquiries, bookings and earnings cannot be guaranteed.

Can my series already be on YouTube or another platform?

Usually yes for non-exclusive Free and Pro agreements, provided you control the necessary rights and no existing agreement prevents HuntNetwork distribution. Originals may require exclusivity, a holdback window or selected territorial rights.

When will I be paid?

The recommended standard is quarterly payment within 30 days after quarter-end once the creator’s payable balance reaches R1,000. Smaller balances roll forward. Originals may use a custom payment schedule.

Can HuntNetwork reject or remove an episode?

Yes. HuntNetwork must retain editorial, legal, safety, technical and advertiser-suitability discretion. Where practical, the creator should first receive the reason and an opportunity to supply a corrected version.

What happens when I cancel Pro Placement?

Paid promotion and Pro benefits end at the close of the paid term. The parties may either remove the series after the agreed wind-down period or convert it to the Free Rev-Share tier by written agreement.
