Creator Content License & Revenue Share Agreement

1. Background

Zukani operates a mobile and web streaming platform (the “Platform”) on which viewers unlock individual episodes of serialized video content using an in-app virtual currency (“Coins”), purchased in packs. Creator produces original serialized video content (“Series,” each installment an “Episode”) and wishes to make one or more Series available on the Platform under the terms below.

2. Key Terms

Coin Unlock. A viewer's redemption of Coins for an Episode grants thirty (30) days of playback access from redemption — not a permanent purchase. If access lapses and the viewer redeems again for the same Episode, that's a new, separate Unlock and generates a new Revenue Share payment.

Net Revenue. Gross Revenue from Coin purchases redeemed for Unlocks of Creator's Episodes, less (a) the Apple/Google store commission (currently 15–30%, which already includes payment processing), (b) taxes Zukani is required to collect and remit, and (c) refunds or chargebacks. Creator's Revenue Share is a percentage of Net Revenue, with no minimum payout threshold and no deductions beyond these three.

3. License, Not a Transfer of Ownership

Creator grants Zukani a limited license to host, stream, reproduce, publicly perform, and promote the Series on the Platform, for as long as this Agreement remains in effect. This is a license, not an assignment — Creator retains 100% of the copyright and IP in the Series, including all characters, story, and underlying material. The license covers streaming/hosting on the Platform only; it doesn't touch merchandise rights, adaptation rights, or anything outside streaming.

4. Revenue Share Tiers

Tier	Revenue Share	Condition
Tier 1 — Base	50% of Net Revenue	Default; non-exclusive.
Tier 2 — Performance	60% of Net Revenue	Automatic once a Series passes 100,000 cumulative paid Unlocks; non-exclusive.
Tier 3 — Platform Exclusive	70% of Net Revenue	From Episode one, for the 60-day exclusivity window only (Section 6) — converts to Tier 1 or Tier 2 once the window ends.

Tier 2's 60% rate applies from the moment a Series crosses 100,000 Unlocks, going forward only — it is never retroactive to Unlocks that already happened. The same forward-only mechanic governs the Tier 3 → Tier 1/2 conversion in Section 6.

At representative Episode prices, Creator's approximate per-Unlock payout (exact numbers always shown live on the Creator Dashboard):

Episode price	Tier 1 (50%)	Tier 2 (60%)	Tier 3 (70%)
30 coins	$0.09 – $0.11	$0.11 – $0.13	$0.13 – $0.15
50 coins	$0.15 – $0.18	$0.18 – $0.22	$0.21 – $0.26
100 coins	$0.30 – $0.37	$0.36 – $0.44	$0.42 – $0.51

Creator sets each Episode's Coin price and how many Episodes (if any) are free, and can adjust pricing over time using Creator Dashboard data.

5. Payment

Zukani pays Creator's Revenue Share monthly, net-30 — for Net Revenue earned in a given calendar month, payment lands within 30 days after that month closes. Payment is by bank transfer, or Wise/PayPal where bank transfer isn't practicable. For Creators whose bank is outside the U.S., Zukani converts the payout as part of the international transfer and absorbs any transfer or conversion fee itself — Creator receives the full Revenue Share amount shown on the Dashboard. There is no minimum payout threshold, and Zukani provides real-time Dashboard access to Unlocks, running Net Revenue, and Revenue Share totals between payouts.

6. Exclusivity (Tier 3 Only)

Electing Tier 3 grants Zukani an exclusive global streaming/hosting license for that Series for the first sixty (60) days after its launch on the Platform, at the 70% Revenue Share. After that window, the license automatically converts to non-exclusive, and the Revenue Share converts too: the Series moves to Tier 1 (50%) or Tier 2 (60%), whichever applies based on its cumulative paid Unlocks as of that moment, and continues moving between those two tiers on the same 100,000-Unlock threshold as any non-exclusive Series from then on. The window covers streaming/hosting rights only — it never restricts promotional clips (Section 7), merchandise, or adaptation rights.

7. Social Media & Promotional Use

Creator is encouraged to use social media as a promotional funnel to the Platform, and may post the first one (1) to five (5) Episodes, or short teaser clips, of a Series on their own accounts, provided each post links back to Zukani TV. For as long as a Series is actively monetized on the Platform, Creator will not post the complete Series, or make it available to watch for free in full, on any other public video platform.

8. Term, Evergreen Revenue Share, and Removal

Creator's Revenue Share has no expiration date for as long as a Series stays hosted — every Unlock, whether it happens the day after launch or years later, pays at Creator's then-current rate. Creator may remove a Series at any time by giving Zukani 60 days' written notice; after that, the Series comes off the Platform for new viewers, though anyone who Unlocked an Episode in the final days keeps their 30-day access, and Creator keeps getting paid for those Unlocks in the ordinary course. Either Party may terminate for uncured material breach after 15 days' written notice.

9. Creator Dashboard & Content Delivery

Once this Agreement is accepted, Zukani provisions Creator with Dashboard access. Creator delivers, per Episode, a completed video file optimized for vertical mobile viewing, a high-resolution thumbnail, and a series poster; and per Series, a title, synopsis, and episode titles.

10. Company & Platform

Zukani / Zukani TV is operated by Ashu Ventures LLC, a Texas limited liability company with a principal place of business at 2229 Preston Ln, McKinney, Texas 75071. The Platform is targeting public launch in November 2026; nothing here guarantees a specific date, and Creator will be notified of material timeline changes.

11. Representations, Warranties & Liability

Creator represents that they own or control all rights necessary to grant this license (including in any AI-generated or AI-assisted elements of the Series), that the Series doesn't infringe any third party's rights, and that it complies with applicable law. Each Party indemnifies the other for third-party claims arising from a breach of these representations, or from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Party is liable to the other for indirect or consequential damages, except for indemnification obligations, breach of the ownership provision in Section 3, or gross negligence/willful misconduct.

12. Independent Contractor

Creator is an independent contractor, not an employee, partner, or agent of Zukani, and is solely responsible for their own taxes on amounts received, other than taxes Zukani is required by law to withhold or remit.

13. Governing Law & Disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, seated in Collin County, Texas, rather than in court, except that either Party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect its intellectual property rights.

14. Electronic Signature

Checking the box below and clicking “I agree & continue” is Creator's electronic signature on this Agreement, legally binding to the same extent as a handwritten signature, effective as of the date and time recorded at acceptance. This on-screen version covers every commercial term of the Agreement. To request a fuller, formally executed copy (with full legal boilerplate and signature blocks) for Creator's records, email [email protected] with the name and email used to accept — Zukani will send one within ten (10) business days.

15. Amendments

Zukani may update the commercial terms of this Agreement (including the Revenue Share tiers in Section 4, Coin pricing mechanics, or the payment terms in Section 5) only on a going-forward basis, and only after giving Creator at least thirty (30) days' written notice (email to the address on file is sufficient). Any such change applies only to Unlocks occurring on or after its effective date — consistent with Section 8, it is never retroactive to Revenue Share already earned under the terms in place when an Unlock happened. If Creator does not agree to a proposed change, Creator may remove their Series under Section 8's process, effective before the change's effective date, without being bound by it. Non-commercial terms, such as the content-delivery specifications in Section 9, may be updated with reasonable notice posted on the Creator Dashboard.

16. If Zukani Ceases Operations

If Zukani stops operating the Platform — whether through wind-down, insolvency, bankruptcy, or a sale of substantially all its assets — Zukani will (a) pay Creator all Revenue Share earned through the last full calendar month of operation, on the normal Section 5 schedule where practicable, and (b) give Creator at least thirty (30) days' notice before the Platform stops serving Creator's Series, so Creator can arrange to host their content elsewhere. This Section does not create a payment priority ahead of what applicable insolvency law provides other creditors, and does not guarantee full payment if Zukani's available assets are insufficient to cover all amounts owed.

17. Taxes & International Creators

Creator is solely responsible for determining and meeting their own tax obligations — including income tax, VAT, or any other levy imposed by Creator's country of residence — on amounts received under this Agreement, except for taxes Zukani is required by U.S. or other applicable law to withhold or remit on its own account. Zukani does not withhold income tax from Creator payouts and does not act as Creator's tax agent in any jurisdiction outside the United States. Zukani may request tax documentation (such as a completed IRS Form W-8BEN for non-U.S. Creators) before releasing payment, and may be required by law to report payments to tax authorities in the United States or in Creator's home country. Creator is responsible for consulting their own tax advisor regarding obligations in their jurisdiction.
