Creator agreement

Version v2-2026-09 · last updated 12 September 2026

This agreement is between you and PickVesting, and applies on top of the terms of service. You accept it when you create a creator profile, and we record the version and the date. A verified record is only worth something because of what it costs to publish one — these are those costs.

1. Who can publish

  • Publishing a record is approved by PickVesting, one trader at a time, and approval can be withdrawn under this agreement.
  • You must be 18 or older, trade in your own name, and own every brokerage account you link.
  • Your name, handle and bio must not suggest a registration, licence, or affiliation you do not have.

2. Our relationship

  • You are an independent creator, not an employee or agent of PickVesting.
  • PickVesting is not your broker or adviser, and publishing your record is not an endorsement of you or of your ideas.

3. The record covers everything

  • Every position in a linked account is part of your record — stocks and options, winners and losers, including contracts that expired worthless. You cannot choose which trades appear, and you cannot remove a losing one.
  • Link every account you trade the strategy you publish. Showing one account while trading the same names in another, unlinked account is a material misrepresentation and grounds for removal.
  • History from before you linked an account comes in with it and is labelled as imported. Positions opened after linking are recorded live.
  • Disconnecting an account stops new trades flowing in. It does not erase anything: the history stays published and the record shows when the account was disconnected. This cannot be undone.
  • PickVesting computes every figure from brokerage data, using the definitions stated on the record page. You may dispute a computation and we will investigate; you may not substitute your own numbers.

4. Publishing ideas

  • Every idea must point at a real position in a linked account that you hold or held. The symbol and direction come from the position, so the disclosure on the card is produced by the system rather than typed.
  • Ideas are your own impersonal views, published to everyone on the same terms. You must not give personalised advice, take instructions to trade for anyone, or offer to manage anyone’s money.
  • Some symbols cannot be published about. Before an idea is accepted we screen it against minimum thresholds for market capitalisation, share float and trading volume.
  • After you publish about a position, a cooling-off period applies: reducing the position during it is flagged for review, and incoming trades are monitored for selling that follows publication. A person reviews every flag.
  • You must not publish an idea you do not believe, promise or imply returns, or coordinate with others to move a price. Buying a name in order to promote it and then selling into the response is prohibited.

5. Your VIP community

  • You run your community and may appoint moderators. You are responsible for what you and your moderators post, and for moderating the room in line with the terms of service.
  • A member’s access comes from their subscription and ends with it.
  • Member details are shown to you only so you can run the community. You may not export them, share them, or use them to contact members outside PickVesting.

6. Money

  • You set your VIP price, any longer terms and their discounts, free trials, and discount codes. A new price applies to new subscribers; existing subscribers keep the price they signed up at.
  • Payments are processed by Stripe. You are paid through a Stripe Express account and must complete Stripe’s identity and tax verification to receive payouts.
  • PickVesting keeps a platform fee of 15% of each subscription payment to you; the rest is yours. We will give notice before changing the fee.
  • Refunds and chargebacks may be deducted from what you are owed. We may hold a payout while a compliance flag on your account is under review.
  • You are responsible for your own taxes.

7. Content and licence

  • You keep ownership of what you write. You grant PickVesting a licence to host, display and distribute it on the service — including to your subscribers, on share cards, and in excerpts that link to your profile.
  • Your record is PickVesting’s computation from your brokerage data. It stays published if you stop publishing, as described above.

8. Ending the agreement

  • You may stop publishing at any time. Your record stays up as a withdrawn profile, because people subscribed on the strength of it.
  • We may suspend or remove a creator who breaches this agreement or the terms of service. For suspected manipulation, fraud or risk to others we may act immediately, and we may report conduct to the relevant authorities.

9. Changes

  • When this agreement changes we publish a new version and ask you to accept it in the studio. Earlier versions stay on record with the date you accepted each one.
