By accessing or using freeverse.co.za (the "Site"), operated by Free Verse Tech Pty Ltd ("Free Verse", "we", "us"), you agree to these Terms & Conditions[cite: 3]. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site[cite: 3].

2. About Free Verse

Free Verse is a pre-launch platform connecting brands and content creators in South Africa, built around escrow-protected payments and performance-based vetting[cite: 3]. This Site currently serves to collect creator waitlist sign-ups and non-binding brand Letters of Intent (LOIs) ahead of our Version 0 pilot launch[cite: 3]. No live marketplace, payment, or escrow functionality is currently active on this Site[cite: 3].

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or have the consent of a parent or guardian, to submit information through this Site[cite: 3]. Creators must hold genuine social media accounts under the links they provide[cite: 3].

4. Waitlist Sign-Up (Creators)

Joining the creator waitlist does not guarantee acceptance into the Version 0 pilot, paid work, or any specific rate[cite: 3]. Selection for the pilot cohort is at Free Verse's sole discretion, based on factors including engagement metrics and platform fit[cite: 3].

5. Digital Letter of Intent (Brands)

Submitting a Digital LOI is a non-binding expression of interest only[cite: 3]. It does not constitute a contract, purchase order, or commitment by either party to enter into a paid campaign[cite: 3]. Free Verse reserves the right to determine final pilot brand partners[cite: 3].
