Creator Calls
What a Creator Call is, and what happens when it ends.
A Creator Call is a fixed-term paid offer a brand publishes for one or many creators. Terms are stated up front, must meet the Cabana Collaboration Standards, and cannot be silently changed. When the Call ends, usage rights expire on schedule and each creator keeps their own record.
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.
Fixed terms, stated before anyone applies.
A Call is not an open negotiation. It is a published offer with defined terms that every applicant reviews before accepting.
Compensation
A specific pay amount per selected creator, stated before the Call opens.
Deliverables
Itemized work the creator will produce, with formats and counts.
Timeline
Draft deadlines and final delivery dates within the Call term.
Revisions
A defined revision round within the agreed scope.
Usage rights
Specific channels, regions, and duration. No perpetual or implied usage.
Payment terms
When and how the creator is paid, disclosed before work begins.
Published terms cannot be silently changed. Material changes require renewed review and the agreement of every affected creator. The standard does not guarantee quality, delivery, payment, or a dispute-free outcome.
The Cabana Collaboration Standards applies to every Call.
No Call reaches creators until it meets the standard for compensation, scope, revisions, payment terms, and usage rights.
- Paid compensation for all work
- Itemized deliverables and defined deadlines
- Disclosed payment terms before work begins
- Specific usage rights with no perpetual default
- Defined revision scope within the agreed fee
- No silent changes to published terms
Four phases, one campaign workspace.
Each creator keeps their own agreement and payment record while the campaign stays coordinated.
Before the Call opens
- The brand defines the offer: compensation, deliverables, timeline, revisions, usage rights, and payment terms.
- Cabana reviews the Call against the Cabana Collaboration Standards before it reaches creators.
- The Call is published with fixed terms that cannot be silently changed.
While the Call is open
- Creators review the terms and choose whether to apply.
- The brand selects creators based on portfolio relevance, creative approach, audience fit, and availability.
- Each selected creator accepts individually, creating a separate agreement and payment record.
During the work
- All selected creators share one campaign workspace, but each retains their own agreement, deliverables, approval status, and payment record.
- Material changes require renewed review and the agreement of every affected creator.
- Feedback and approval must stay within the agreed scope.
When the Call ends
- Each creator completes their deliverables and receives payment through their connected Stripe account.
- The campaign workspace closes but remains accessible as a record.
- Usage rights apply only for the term stated in the Call. No perpetual or implied usage.
- The brand pays the Cabana fee based on the published fee model. Creators pay zero Cabana commission on Creator Call earnings.
