Compensation is stated and paid
Every Call names a compensation amount per creator in a currency. Unpaid work, product-only offers and speculative work presented as a paid opportunity are not accepted.
Cabana Collaboration Standards
Every Creator Call is reviewed against these requirements before creators are asked to apply. They describe what a Call has to say, in writing, up front.
Cabana Collaboration Standards, v2026.09
This page is an illustrative preview and guidance, not binding terms. Creator Calls are not live on this site and sample Calls are fictional. The binding terms are the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy.
What a Call has to state
The work is itemized
Deliverables are listed by count, format and length, so a creator can price the work before applying.
Deadlines and revisions are defined
A delivery date, a stated number of revision rounds and a brand review window are all required. Unlimited revisions are not accepted.
Usage rights are specific
Channels, territory and duration are named. Paid advertising, whitelisting, exclusivity and perpetual usage must be stated explicitly and are never implied.
Payment terms are disclosed
The schedule, the method and who sends the money are written into the Call before a creator applies.
Brand inputs are listed
Anything the creator needs in order to start, such as product, shipping or a brief, is named along with who supplies it.
Published terms do not change silently
Material changes require renewed review and the agreement of every affected creator. An accepted engagement is not repriced after the fact.
Selection is about fit
Calls state their selection criteria. Lowest-price bidding between creators is not part of the process.
What the review does not do
The limits matter as much as the requirements.
- The review checks what a Call says, not what a brand will do.
- It does not guarantee quality, delivery, payment, or a dispute-free outcome.
- Cabana is not a party to the agreement between a brand and a creator.
- Cabana does not hold, release or adjudicate creator compensation.
Direct Engagements are negotiated between a brand and a creator and are not reviewed against these standards. Read how the two paths differ on the brands page.
