Sales tax will be added to the price of purchases as deemed required by us. We may change prices at any time. All payments shall be in Indian rupees.

We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes in pricing, even if we have already requested or received payment.
We reserve the right to refuse any order placed through the Services. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same payment method, and/or orders that use the same billing or shipping address. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers, or distributors.
Escrow Arrangement: When a Brand funds a Deal, the payment is held in escrow by our payment processor. ValueSkins never holds, controls, or has access to the funds. Funds are released from escrow only upon fulfilment of the conditions agreed upon in the Deal.
Platform Model: ValueSkins operates on a free entry plus commission model. There are no recurring subscription fees. Creators and Brands enjoy free access to the platform.
Platform Commission: ValueSkins charges a platform commission of 12% (plus applicable GST) on every approved transaction. Approved means the Brand has reviewed and approved the Creator's deliverables and escrow has been released. The commission is deducted from the released amount before payment reaches the Creator. No commission is charged on deals that are cancelled or refunded before approval. This commission rate is shown to both parties before deal acceptance and is fixed at the time of deal creation. The rate does not change retroactively even if our rates change for future deals.
Market Entry Fee: Access to the marketplace requires a one-time upfront payment of 950 rupees (plus applicable GST) for a ValueSkin, the profession identity required to browse, list, and transact. This is a one-time entry payment, not a recurring subscription. It is non-refundable once the ValueSkin has been issued to your account, except where required by applicable law.
Taxes: Users are solely responsible for all taxes, including but not limited to GST, TDS, and income tax, arising from their use of the Platform and their transactions. ValueSkins does not provide tax advice. Creators earning above applicable thresholds must obtain GST registration and issue invoices to Brands as required by law.
Tax Information Collection: To facilitate tax-compliant payouts and invoice generation, Creators may be asked to provide their Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Brands may be asked to provide their Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN). This information is used solely for tax compliance and invoice generation purposes.
Payouts: Upon successful completion of a Deal, funds are released to the Creator's registered payout account (bank account or UPI ID) by our payment processor. Payout timelines are subject to the payment processor's processing schedules and applicable banking regulations.
All payments made on the Platform, including ValueSkin purchases and escrow releases, are final and non-refundable. Once a ValueSkin is purchased or an escrow transaction is completed and funds are released, no refund, reversal, or chargeback will be processed under any circumstances. Users acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agreed to this no-refund policy before making any payment. ValueSkins shall not be held liable for any loss, dissatisfaction, or damage arising from a User's decision to make a payment on the Platform.
Deal Creation: A Deal is created when a Brand submits a brief and the Creator accepts it. The Deal terms include deliverables, timeline, payment amount, revision count, and other agreed conditions.
Binding Agreement: Each accepted Deal constitutes a legally binding agreement between the Creator and Brand under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. ValueSkins is not a party to this agreement.
Deal Terms Lock-In: Once both parties accept a Deal, the recorded terms are final and immutable. Neither party may unilaterally modify deal terms, deliverables, payment amounts, or any other agreed conditions. All changes to deal terms must be agreed to in writing by both parties through the platform.
Deal Lifecycle: Deals progress through defined stages: Draft, Negotiation, Agreement, Funded, In Progress, Review, Completed/Cancelled/Disputed. Each stage has specific rules governing timelines, approvals, and actions.
Auto-Resolution: If a Brand fails to review Deliverables within 7 days, the Deliverables are deemed approved and funds are released. If a Creator fails to submit Deliverables within the agreed timeline, the Brand may cancel the Deal and receive a full refund.
Cancellation & Kill Fees: Deals may be cancelled by mutual agreement (full refund) or through the kill fee process (partial payment for partial delivery). If no resolution is reached within 14 days, the escrow is split on a predefined basis (70% to Brand, 30% to Creator) unless either party objects within 48 hours of notice.
Intermediary Limitation of Liability: ValueSkins is not responsible for Creator non-performance, Brand non-payment, quality of deliverables, or any breach of deal terms by either party. Users assume all risk of counterparty breach. ValueSkins is not an arbitrator and provides the recorded deal history, messages, deliverables, approvals, and timestamps to both parties for dispute resolution. The parties are responsible for resolving disputes between themselves.
ValueSkins conducts due diligence on creator accounts to verify authenticity and compliance with platform standards. We may decline, suspend, or revoke creator status at our discretion based on evidence of engagement manipulation, policy violations, fraudulent activity, or other concerns. Creators subject to due diligence review will be notified of the outcome.
Funds deposited into escrow are automatically released to the designated recipient once the deal deadline passes or the agreed-upon deliverables are marked as complete. ValueSkins does not manually intervene in, delay, reverse, or modify escrow releases under any circumstances. Users acknowledge that once funds are released from escrow, the transaction is final and irrevocable. ValueSkins shall not be held liable for any dispute, loss, or claim arising from the automatic release of escrow funds, including but not limited to disagreements between Users regarding deliverable quality, deadline compliance, or payment terms.
Digital Rights Definition: Digital rights refer to a Brand's permission to reuse, repurpose, repost, or commercially exploit a Creator's content beyond the original delivery. This includes but is not limited to: reposting on brand channels, use in advertisements, compilations, commercial purposes, and use across multiple platforms.
Creator Ownership: Creators retain all intellectual property rights and ownership of content they produce unless explicitly agreed otherwise in the Deal. Usage rights, including any boosting, paid-media rights, and their duration, are exactly what the agreed deal terms specify. Brands must not use content beyond the agreed scope and duration.
Digital Rights as Separate Offering: Digital rights are distinct from content creation fees. A Creator may offer digital rights to a Brand for an additional, separately negotiated fee. The scope and duration of digital rights are explicitly documented in the Deal agreement.
Payment & Documentation: When a Brand opts to purchase digital rights, the payment is held in separate escrow and released upon agreement completion. All terms are documented in the signed Deal agreement with minute-by-minute timestamping and immutable records.
Platform's Limited Role: ValueSkins provides a complete, uneditable audit trail of all digital rights agreements. ValueSkins does not monitor, enforce, or police how Brands use content after rights are granted. ValueSkins is not responsible for any breach of digital rights agreements.
Creators are responsible for compliance with Indian advertising law, including the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) disclosure requirements. ValueSkins automates disclosure requirements in the deal workflow, but Creators retain full responsibility for truthfulness of claims, compliance with advertising standards, and platform-specific rules (Instagram, YouTube, etc.). Brands are responsible for the accuracy of claims they ask a Creator to make. Failure to comply with ASCI requirements and advertising law may result in account suspension or termination.
Deal records, transaction history, invoices, payment status, and associated audit logs are retained for a minimum of seven years as required by Indian tax law, accounting standards, and legal obligations. This is because a deal is a binding agreement between two parties and one party cannot erase the shared record of it. Other personal data is retained only as long as necessary to provide Services or as required by law, except as noted in our Privacy Policy.
In compliance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, we have appointed a Grievance Officer to address your concerns regarding data processing, privacy, and platform conduct:
Grievance Officer: Saketh Velamuri
Company: Valueskins Pvt. Ltd.
Email: [email protected]
We will acknowledge your complaint within 24 hours and resolve it within 30 days as required by law.
We may amend these terms and will notify you. Continued use after notice constitutes acceptance. The version applicable to a deal is the one in force when the deal was created.
These terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts at Delhi have exclusive jurisdiction.
