Terms of Service

Last Updated: January 30, 2026

Welcome to Cozmos. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Cozmos platform, a private, crypto-native marketplace connecting verified crypto influencers with verified crypto brands for promotional deals.

By accessing or using Cozmos, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the platform.

1. Platform Overview

Cozmos is a private, invite-quality marketplace where verified crypto brands can book verified crypto influencers for promotional deals. The platform facilitates:

  • Structured promotional offers with defined deliverables, prices, and deadlines
  • Crypto-based escrow payments using internal wallet system
  • Deal management including briefs, revisions, and approval workflows
  • Dispute resolution and quality enforcement through strikes
  • Real-time chat between brands and influencers

Cozmos operates as a custodial platform with an internal ledger system. All crypto transactions are managed through our custodial wallet service.

2. Eligibility and User Roles

2.1 General Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to use Cozmos. By using the platform, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

2.2 User Roles

Cozmos supports two distinct user roles:

  • Influencer: Crypto content creators with verified social media accounts (YouTube, Twitter/X) who offer promotional services.
  • Brand: Crypto companies or organizations seeking to book influencer promotions.

Your role is selected at signup and cannot be changed. A single account cannot be both a brand and an influencer.

3. Account Registration and Verification

3.1 Influencer Accounts

Influencers must verify at least one social media platform (YouTube, Twitter/X, or TikTok) to create promotional offers and appear in the marketplace. Verification is completed through platform-specific methods (e.g. verification code in channel description for YouTube, post URL for Twitter/X, link for TikTok) as specified in the platform.

3.2 Brand Accounts

Brand accounts must use a company email domain (not free providers like Gmail or Yahoo) and provide a valid company website. All brand accounts are subject to manual verification and approval by Cozmos administrators before gaining marketplace access. Cozmos reserves the right to reject any brand application at its sole discretion.

3.3 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify Cozmos immediately of any unauthorized access or use of your account.

4. Crypto Payments and Escrow

4.1 Internal Wallet System

Cozmos operates an internal wallet and ledger system. Each brand and influencer has an internal wallet for managing funds. All transactions are recorded in our internal ledger, which serves as the source of truth for balances and deal finances.

4.2 Supported Currencies

The platform currently supports Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USD Coin (USDC), and Tether (USDT). ETH and stablecoins (USDC, USDT) are on Ethereum mainnet. No Layer 2 networks are used. Additional currencies may be added at Cozmos' discretion.

4.3 Crypto Volatility and Risk

Important: Cryptocurrency Volatility Warning

All deals on Cozmos are denominated in cryptocurrency amounts, not USD. Due to market volatility, the USD-equivalent value of locked escrow and payouts may fluctuate significantly between the time of deal request and payout. Both brands and influencers explicitly agree to transact in the specified cryptocurrency amount and accept all market risk. Cozmos does not guarantee any USD value and is not liable for gains or losses due to price fluctuations.

4.4 Escrow Mechanism

When a brand requests a promotion, the total amount (influencer fee plus platform fee) is immediately locked in escrow within our internal ledger. Funds remain locked until:

  • The influencer declines or fails to accept within 48 hours (funds returned to brand)
  • The deal is completed and approved (funds released to influencer and platform)
  • A dispute is resolved by administrators (funds allocated according to resolution decision)
  • The publication deadline is missed (funds returned to brand, strike applied to influencer)

4.5 Platform Fee

Cozmos charges a 12.5% platform fee on top of the influencer's base price. This fee is paid by the brand and covers platform operations, escrow management, dispute resolution, and support services.

4.6 Withdrawals

Influencers may request withdrawals of their wallet balance to external crypto addresses. During the Beta Launch phase, all withdrawals are processed manually by Cozmos administrators. Cozmos reserves the right to implement withdrawal limits, verification requirements, and processing timelines.

5. Deal Workflow and Obligations

5.1 Promotional Offers

Influencers create promotional offers specifying the platform, type of promotion, price, lead time requirements, and maximum revisions. Only verified social accounts may be used for promotional offers.

5.2 Deal Request and Acceptance

Brands select a promotional offer and specify a publication date, complete a brief form, and may upload creative assets. Upon request submission, funds are locked in escrow. Influencers have 48 hours to accept or decline. Failure to respond results in automatic decline and fund release.

5.3 Publication Requirements and Deadlines

Influencers must publish promotional content on the exact date specified in the deal and submit the live link by 11:59 PM in their configured timezone. Early publication is not permitted. Failure to meet the deadline results in automatic deal cancellation, full refund to the brand, and a strike applied to the influencer's account.

5.4 Revisions

If revisions are permitted by the promotional offer, influencers may submit draft content for brand review. Brands have 24 hours to request changes; otherwise, the draft is automatically approved. The revision process must not compromise the publication deadline.

5.5 Final Approval

After publication, brands have 48 hours to approve the final deliverable or open a dispute. If no action is taken within 48 hours, the deal is automatically approved and funds become releasable.

6. Disputes and Strikes

6.1 Dispute Resolution

Brands may open disputes within the 48-hour approval window if the delivered content does not meet the agreed-upon brief or quality standards. All disputes are reviewed and resolved by Cozmos administrators. Resolution options include full refund to brand, partial refund with split payment, or full payment to influencer. Administrator decisions are final and binding.

6.2 Strike System for Influencers

Strikes are automatically applied when an influencer misses a publication deadline. The strike system operates as follows:

  • 1st Strike: Influencer removed from marketplace for 1 week
  • 2nd Strike: Influencer removed from marketplace for 1 month
  • 3rd Strike: Permanent removal from marketplace (profile hidden, cannot receive new deals)

Administrators may manually override or remove strikes at their discretion. Influencers with strikes may still withdraw existing wallet funds.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Content Ownership

Influencers retain ownership of all promotional content created for deals. By using the platform, influencers grant brands a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to share, promote, and use the content for marketing purposes.

7.2 Platform Usage Rights

By submitting content through Cozmos, users grant the platform a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and use such content for platform operations, marketing, and promotional purposes.
