Terms of service

8x is a marketplace and a set of tools around it: campaign briefs, applications, tracked links, measurement, and payments. We are not LinkedIn, we are not affiliated with LinkedIn, and nothing here changes your obligations under LinkedIn's own terms while you use their platform.

When a creator runs a specific campaign, that campaign is governed by the Creator Campaign Agreement they sign for it. Where these terms and a signed campaign agreement say different things about that campaign, the campaign agreement wins.

You need to be at least 18 and able to enter a contract. Keep your sign-in details to yourself: what happens under your account is yours. If you sign up on behalf of a company, you are confirming you have the authority to bind it.

Give us accurate information, and keep it accurate. A creator account must belong to the person whose LinkedIn profile it claims, which is why we ask you to verify ownership before you can apply to anything.

Applying to a campaign is putting yourself forward, not a guarantee of selection. The brand picks who they work with, and being passed over on one campaign has no effect on the next.

Your posts are yours. They are written in your voice, published on your profile, and stay there under your control. What a campaign asks of you is in its brief and its agreement, and nothing more.

You must disclose paid partnerships in the way the law and LinkedIn's rules require, every time. You must not buy engagement, inflate clicks on your own tracked links, or ask anyone else to. Payment rests on real reach to real people; faking any part of that is the one thing that ends the relationship on the spot.

Your brief must be accurate and lawful, and the product or service it promotes must be yours to promote. You choose which creators to work with; once an amount is agreed for a creator's work and the work is delivered, it gets paid.

Creators write in their own voice. You approve fit and facts, not tone, and you may not ask a creator to skip the paid partnership disclosure. Campaign performance data you see covers your own campaigns, per creator, and is for running those campaigns, not for building profiles of people.

Amounts are agreed per campaign, in writing, before work is owed. Creators are paid the agreed figure within the window the campaign agreement states, after the post is live and verified. We show every figure as either agreed, earned, on its way, or paid, and we do not show estimates as money.

We are a marketplace, not a bank: money moves through regulated payment providers, and you are responsible for your own taxes on what you earn or spend here.

Campaign links pass through us so results can be attributed to the creator who earned them. Do not automate clicks against them, route bots through them, or otherwise distort what they measure. We may disable a link that is being abused, and numbers we can show were distorted do not count toward payment.

No unlawful content, no impersonation, no scraping the platform, no probing its security, no using another person's data from the service for anything beyond the campaign it was shown to you for. We can suspend or close accounts that break these rules, and for anything involving fraud or fake engagement we will.

You can close your account whenever you like. We can suspend or end accounts that breach these terms. Either way, money already earned under a signed campaign agreement is still owed and still gets paid, and records we are required to keep are kept as the privacy policy describes.

The service is provided as it is. We do not guarantee that a creator will be selected, that a campaign will perform, or that the platform will never have an outage. To the extent the law allows, our liability to you is capped at the amounts paid or payable between you and 8x in the twelve months before the claim; nothing in these terms limits liability the law says cannot be limited.

If we change these terms we will update the date at the top, and where a change meaningfully affects you, tell you directly before it takes effect. Carrying on using the service after that is acceptance of the updated terms.
