2. Purpose of This Policy

Playflick supports creator collaboration, independent filmmaking, co-created entertainment, production teams, guest appearances, interviews, creative partnerships, and community projects.

This policy helps creators understand:

  • Who is responsible for collaborative content
  • What permissions may be needed before uploading
  • How credits and ownership should be handled
  • How revenue disputes may arise
  • How shared account access should be managed
  • How Playflick may respond to collaboration disputes

3. Creator Responsibility

The account that uploads or publishes content on Playflick is responsible for ensuring that the content complies with Playflick policies and applicable law.

If you upload collaborative content, you are responsible for ensuring you have the rights, permissions, licences, consents, and authority needed to upload, display, promote, monetise, sell, or distribute that content.


4. What Counts as Collaborative Content?

Collaborative content may include:

  • Co-created videos
  • Short films made by a team
  • Trailers made with other creators
  • Interviews
  • Guest appearances
  • Podcast-style videos
  • Reaction or commentary collaborations
  • Joint livestreams
  • Creator challenges
  • Music videos involving multiple artists
  • Videos involving actors, editors, writers, producers, camera operators, or performers
  • Content created by agencies, studios, collectives, or production teams

5. Permissions Before Uploading

Before uploading collaborative content, creators should make sure they have permission from relevant people and rights holders.

Permissions may be needed from:

  • Co-creators
  • Actors and performers
  • Voice actors
  • Music artists
  • Editors, writers, and producers
  • Camera operators and photographers
  • Studios or production companies
  • Brands or sponsors
  • Location owners
  • Rights holders for music, clips, images, artwork, logos, or characters

Playflick may remove or restrict content where a rights, consent, privacy, copyright, trademark, impersonation, or ownership dispute exists.


6. Written Agreements Are Recommended

Playflick recommends that collaborators agree important terms in writing before publishing or monetising content.

Collaboration agreements may cover:

  • Who owns the content
  • Who may upload the content
  • Who may monetise the content
  • How revenue will be shared outside Playflick
  • Who controls the channel or account
  • Who may edit, remove, or re-upload the content
  • How credits should appear
  • How disputes will be handled
  • Whether clips, trailers, or promotional materials may be used
  • Whether the content may be used for ads, sponsorships, or paid access

Playflick does not provide legal advice or draft collaboration contracts for creators.


7. Credits and Attribution

Creators should credit collaborators accurately where credits are promised, required, or appropriate.

Credits may include:

  • Director
  • Writer
  • Producer
  • Actor or performer
  • Editor
  • Composer or music artist
  • Camera operator
  • Animator
  • Designer
  • Co-creator
  • Guest creator
  • Brand or sponsor disclosure where required

Credits must not be used to falsely suggest endorsement, official status, sponsorship, or involvement.


8. Guest Appearances and Interviews

If content includes guests, interviewees, performers, or featured participants, creators should ensure that the people involved understand how the content may be used.

Creators should be especially careful where content involves:

  • Children or young people
  • Private individuals
  • Vulnerable people
  • People discussing sensitive personal matters
  • People appearing in private locations
  • People whose likeness, voice, or identity may be used commercially

9. Shared Channels and Team Access

If multiple people manage a channel, the account owner is responsible for controlling access safely.

Channel owners should:

  • Limit access to trusted people
  • Use strong passwords
  • Enable two-factor authentication where available
  • Remove former collaborators, employees, contractors, or agencies promptly
  • Keep clear records of who is authorised to manage the account
  • Monitor uploads, comments, purchases, ads, payouts, and account changes

Playflick may not be able to resolve internal team disputes about channel access or creative control.


10. Revenue Sharing Between Collaborators

Playflick may pay eligible revenue only to the account, payout method, or creator profile recognised by Playflick under the relevant monetisation and payout rules.

Playflick is not responsible for private revenue-sharing agreements between collaborators unless Playflick has expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

Collaborators should agree outside Playflick how revenue, expenses, refunds, chargebacks, taxes, commissions, and payouts will be shared.


11. Paid Content and Collaborations

If collaborative content is sold, rented, placed behind a subscription, monetised, sponsored, or promoted, creators must ensure they have permission from all relevant rights holders and collaborators.

Paid collaborative content should not:

  • Mislead viewers about what they are buying
  • Use content without the rights needed to sell it
  • Hide sponsorships or affiliate relationships
  • Use another collaborator’s work after permission has been withdrawn where legally relevant
  • Create disputes about ownership, royalties, or payment promises

12. Copyright and Ownership Disputes

Collaboration disputes may involve copyright, ownership, licensing, credits, revenue, channel control, or distribution rights.

Playflick may review disputes where they involve Playflick policies or valid legal notices, but Playflick may refuse to decide complex private ownership disputes between collaborators.

Playflick may require parties to resolve disputes privately, contractually, through legal advice, or through appropriate legal channels.


13. Removal Requests from Collaborators

A collaborator may contact Playflick if they believe collaborative content violates their rights, privacy, consent, copyright, trademark, or other legal interests.

Playflick may request supporting information such as:

  • The content URL
  • The complainant’s role in the content
  • Evidence of ownership or permission limits
  • Relevant contracts or written agreements where available
  • Privacy, safety, or consent concerns
  • Copyright or trademark details where applicable

Removal is not guaranteed and may depend on the facts, available evidence, policies, and applicable law.


14. Children in Collaborative Content

Collaborative content involving children must be handled with extra care.

Creators must not:

  • Exploit children for views, money, sympathy, or engagement
  • Expose a child’s home, school, location, routine, or private information
  • Show children in unsafe, humiliating, vulnerable, or inappropriate situations
  • Sexualise children or young people
  • Use children in unsafe sponsorships or promotions
  • Upload content involving children without appropriate permission where required

Serious child-safety concerns may result in immediate content removal, account action, evidence preservation, and reporting where appropriate or required.


15. Sponsored Collaborations

Collaborative content that includes sponsorships, paid promotion, product placement, affiliate links, gifted products, or brand partnerships must be clearly disclosed where required.

Creators and brands should clearly agree:

  • Who is responsible for disclosure
  • Where the disclosure will appear
  • What claims may be made
  • Who approves sponsored materials
  • Whether the content may be monetised
  • Whether children or young audiences may be affected

More information is available in our Sponsored Content & Affiliate Disclosure Policy.


16. AI-Assisted Collaborations

If collaboration involves AI-generated voices, faces, performances, scripts, images, music, or synthetic media, creators must ensure they have the rights, permissions, and disclosures required.

AI must not be used to:

  • Impersonate a collaborator without permission
  • Clone a person’s voice deceptively or harmfully
  • Create non-consensual intimate content
  • Mislead viewers about real participation
  • Use a collaborator’s likeness after permission has been refused or withdrawn where legally relevant

More information is available in our AI-Generated Content Policy.


17. Account Ownership Disputes

If collaborators dispute who owns or controls a Playflick account or channel, Playflick may review available records but may not be able to resolve the dispute.

Playflick may consider:

  • Account creation history
  • Email ownership
  • Login history
  • Business verification records
  • Payout records
  • Prior support communications
  • Contracts or legal documents where necessary

Playflick may restrict account changes or payouts while ownership is disputed.


18. Disputes Between Collaborators

Playflick is not a court, arbitrator, agent, manager, production company, talent agency, royalty collector, or legal representative for collaborators.

Playflick may not resolve disputes about:

  • Private contracts
  • Creative credit
  • Revenue splits
  • Production costs
  • Talent fees
  • Internal team disagreements
  • Ownership of business assets
  • Personal disputes between creators

If a dispute cannot be resolved, collaborators may need independent legal advice or formal dispute resolution.
