Creator Terms

Plain-language summary, November 3, 2026

Underground TV ("UGTV," "we," "us") is run by Ghetto Media Group LLC, a New Mexico limited liability company (LLC). This page explains, in plain words, how publishing a series on UGTV works.

1. What this page is

This is a summary to help you decide whether to apply. It is not the contract. Before your episodes earn money, we send you the Creator Agreement to sign. The signed Creator Agreement, together with our Terms of Use, is the whole deal between you and UGTV, and it controls over this page.

2. Who can publish on UGTV

• You must be at least 18 years old.
• You apply on the Become a creator page. A person reads every application. We may say no to any application.
• If we approve you, you get your own channel on UGTV, with a channel number that never changes. Every series you publish is on your channel.
• You sign the Creator Agreement and get a Creator Studio account. You sign in with a code emailed to you, or, until email sign-in opens, with a one-time sign-in link we send to your creator email address. Keep your email account secure and never share codes or links.
• If you sign for a company or a group, you confirm you are allowed to sign for it.

3. You keep ownership

You, or the people who licensed your work to you, own your episodes. Nothing in these terms or the Creator Agreement moves ownership to UGTV.

4. The license you give UGTV

While your Creator Agreement is in effect, you give UGTV a worldwide, nonexclusive license to:

• store your episodes and copy them as needed to run the site,
• convert them for streaming, make posters and thumbnails, and add the faint on-screen member code that helps trace leaks,
• stream them on ugtv.tv and on any app or page UGTV runs under the UGTV name,
• decide which episodes are free and which are for members, after talking with you (today the first 3 episodes of each series are free), and
• promote your series with your creator name, profile, titles, posters and short clips on UGTV's own website, social media and ads.

UGTV will not sell or license your episodes to anyone else without your written consent. The Creator Agreement says whether any exclusive period applies to members-only episodes.

5. Your rights promise

You promise that you own, or have written permission for, everything in your episodes:

• Footage, graphics, fonts, logos and locations.
• Music and sound. Your license must cover paid streaming. A "royalty-free" track only counts if its license covers paid streaming.
• People. Every recognizable person shown signed a release that allows paid streaming and promotion. Anyone under 18 has written consent from a parent or guardian, and no one under 18 appears in any romantic, suggestive or violent scene.
• Artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The tool's terms allow commercial use, and you did not use AI to copy a real person's face, voice or body without that person's written consent.

Your episodes must not defame anyone, invade anyone's privacy, show real violence or illegal acts, or harass people for who they are. Keep your releases and licenses, and send us copies if we ask.

Every time you upload an episode in the Creator Studio, you tick a box that repeats this promise. We save the date and the version of the wording you agreed to.

6. No adult content

UGTV is not an adult content site, and our payment company does not allow adult content. No nudity and no sexual acts. Romance, suggestive costumes and mild fantasy violence or horror are fine. Breaking this rule is a reason to remove a series and end the agreement right away.

7. Review and approval of every episode

• You send episodes through the Creator Studio. Until uploads open there, you email us a download link.
• We review every new episode, and every replaced video, before it goes live. We may decline an episode, and we tell you why.
• Profile text you edit in the Studio, such as your bio and social links, goes live at once. We may undo an edit that breaks these terms.
• We set the release schedule and the price of a membership to your channel after talking with you. The price today is $9.99 per week for every channel.

8. How you earn: 80% after payment processing fees

Which payments count for your channel. Every weekly payment for a membership to your channel counts for you. Your channel holds all of your series, so it does not matter on which of your series pages a member tapped Join. Payments for other creators' channels never count for you, and yours never count for them. Free passes from UGTV are not payments and earn nothing.

Net. For each payment, net is the amount paid, minus the payment processing fees: the actual card fee Stripe charged on that payment, and Stripe's Billing fee of 0.7% of the amount.

Your share. You get 80% of the net from your channel's memberships. UGTV keeps 20%.

Example, one $9.99 weekly payment from a card issued in the United States:

Cards from outside the United States cost more. The real fee always comes from Stripe's records. UGTV does not promise any amount of earnings.

9. Weekly payouts from cleared sales

• A payout week runs Monday 12:00 a.m. to Sunday 11:59 p.m., Central Time (Chicago).
• A payment counts in the week Stripe makes the money available to UGTV ("cleared"), usually about 2 business days after the charge.
• We pay by bank transfer after each week closes. The Creator Agreement sets the payout day.
• If your share for a week is under $10, it carries forward and is added to the next week.
• Your Creator Studio shows a statement for every week. If something looks wrong, tell us within 90 days and we will check it with you against Stripe's records.
• We never ask for bank account numbers on the site or keep them in the site's database. We tell you a secure way to send them.

10. Refunds and disputes

• A refund on a payment for your channel comes off your channel, in the payout week the refund happens.
• If a member disputes a payment for your channel with their bank and UGTV loses, the payment and Stripe's dispute fee (currently $15) come off your channel in the week the dispute is lost.
• If UGTV wins a dispute, anything already taken off for it is added back.
• If a week ends below zero, the negative amount carries forward and comes off later weeks.

11. Tax form before your first payout

Before your first payout, email a completed Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-9 to ghettomediagroup@proton.me. Never upload tax forms in the Studio. Your share keeps adding up until we receive the form, so nothing is lost. We send you a Form 1099 when the law requires it, and you are responsible for your own taxes.

12. Members' privacy

You see money totals for your channel, such as the membership money credited to your channel and your earnings. You never receive members' names, email addresses, payment details, who joined your channel or what they watched, and you agree not to try to identify or contact members using anything you learn through UGTV.

13. Leaks, takedowns and complaints

• Takedown authority. By signing the Creator Agreement, you authorize UGTV in writing to send takedown notices for copies of your episodes posted elsewhere without permission. We may do this, but we do not have to, and we do not sue anyone for you without a separate written agreement. You can always send your own notices.
• Complaints about your episodes. If someone reports an episode or sends a copyright complaint, we may hide it while we look into it. We tell you, and you reply within 5 business days with any proof of your rights. We decide whether to put it back.
• Repeat infringement. We may end the agreement if your episodes infringe someone's copyright more than once.

14. Covering each other's costs

You will defend UGTV and cover its losses, including reasonable attorney fees, from any claim that your episodes break your rights promise or the law. UGTV will do the same for you for claims about UGTV's own website, apps, name or logo, or about changes UGTV made to your episodes without your approval. This is called an indemnity, and the Creator Agreement sets out the details.

15. Removing an episode, a series or your account

• One episode: email us and we take it down within 7 days.
• Your whole series: either side can end the Creator Agreement with 30 days' written notice. Your series stays up until then, so members get what they paid for.
• Right away: UGTV may hide or remove any episode at once while it looks into a report, a legal requirement or a payment company requirement, and may end the agreement at once for a serious breach, such as adult content, rights problems or fraud.
• After the end: we stop streaming your series within 7 days, delete your uploaded originals within 90 days unless a legal claim needs them, and keep paying your share of payments made before the end date on the normal weekly schedule.
