5.1 Collab Marketplace and Payment Processing
It's Buzzing provides a platform to facilitate payments between creators and businesses. Payments are processed, held, and released by Stripe via connected accounts. It's Buzzing does not act as a seller, employer, payment intermediary, or escrow agent.
When using the Collab Marketplace feature:
Creator-Business Relationships: Creators and businesses enter into direct agreements for collaboration services. It's Buzzing is not a party to these agreements.
Payment Processing: All payments are processed through Stripe. Creators must connect a Stripe account to receive payouts. Stripe handles all payment processing, escrow holding, fund releases, and tax reporting (including 1099-K forms).
Platform Role: It's Buzzing provides the technology platform that enables discovery, project management, and payment coordination. We do not determine pricing, evaluate work quality, or guarantee deliverable acceptance.
Independent Contractor Status: Creators are independent contractors, not employees of It's Buzzing or the businesses they collaborate with. Creators are responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and business licenses.
No Employment Relationship: Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between It's Buzzing and any user.
Dispute Resolution: Disputes between creators and businesses regarding deliverables, quality, or payment must be resolved between the parties. It's Buzzing may provide platform-based dispute resolution tools but is not obligated to mediate or resolve conflicts.
Fees: Platform fees (7% of transaction value) and processing fees (3% charged by Stripe) are deducted before payout to creators. All fees are disclosed transparently before transaction confirmation.
Compliance: Users are responsible for compliance with tax laws, business licensing, content rights, and contractual obligations. It's Buzzing provides tools but does not provide legal, tax, or business advice.
