One-Chapter Challenge Terms

By submitting your story to EBCHATS, you confirm and agree to the following:

1. Ownership of Content
   You confirm that the story or content you submit is original, created by you, or that you have the legal rights and permission to use and distribute it.
2. License to EBCHATS
   You grant EBCHATS, Mezel Studios, and its authorized representatives a non-exclusive worldwide license to transform, adapt, publish, distribute, promote, display, and monetize your content as immersive chat experiences across digital platforms and mobile devices.
3. Creator Ownership
   You remain the original owner of your content. This agreement does not transfer ownership of your intellectual property to EBCHATS.
4. Content Transformation
   You understand and authorize EBCHATS to convert your content into immersive chat-based storytelling experiences, including editing, formatting, visual adaptation, AI-assisted transformation, and mobile optimization.
5. AI Design Assignment & Custom Redesign Fee
   You understand that the visual design of each EBCHAT experience, including but not limited to colors, backgrounds, layouts, visual elements, effects, and overall presentation, is assigned and generated by EBCHATS using AI-assisted creative systems. If a creator, community, page owner, brand, or content owner requests custom modifications to the assigned design after the initial version has been delivered, a custom design fee of US$150 may apply for each redesign request.
6. Revenue Sharing
   The current standard revenue share is 50% for the creator and 50% for EBCHATS from Net Revenue generated through content sales. Net Revenue means the revenue remaining after deduction of payment processing fees, transaction fees, platform fees, transfer fees, currency conversion fees, refunds, chargebacks, taxes, and any other costs directly associated with collecting and distributing payments. Revenue shares are calculated based on Net Revenue, not Gross Revenue. Payout minimums may apply. EBCHATS reserves the right to offer alternative revenue-sharing arrangements through special agreements, distributor partnerships, enterprise programs, promotional campaigns, or future creator programs. Any alternative arrangement must be agreed upon in writing by both parties.
7. Story Pricing
   You understand that story pricing is determined by The Mooovement team based on audience size, engagement, creator profile, story quality and market fit. Story access prices will typically range between US$1.99 and US$5.00, although exceptions may apply.
8. Payout Requirements
   Writers may request payout after accumulating a minimum balance of US$100. To receive payments, writers must maintain a valid Stripe or PayPal account capable of receiving international transfers. EBCHATS is not responsible for payment failures caused by invalid, restricted, suspended, unsupported, or incorrectly configured payment accounts. Accumulated balances currently do not expire during the beta phase of The One Chapter Challenge, although future program policies may modify payout procedures.
9. No Upfront Payment Required
   You understand that submitting your story to EBCHATS is free. You are not required to pay any upfront fees to participate.
10. Use of Name & Image
    You authorize EBCHATS to use your name, username, profile image, and creator identity solely for the promotion, distribution, and marketing of your EBCHATS content and related campaigns.
11. No Employment Relationship
    Submitting your story to EBCHATS does not create any employment, partnership, or salary relationship between you and EBCHATS or Mezel Studios.
12. Prohibited Content
    You may not upload copyrighted, stolen, illegal, defamatory, or unauthorized material. You accept full responsibility for the content you submit.
13. Community Standards
    Your submission may not contain pornography, explicit sexual content, vulgar language, promotion of illegal drugs, prohibited substances, graphic violence, weapon promotion, criminal activity, hate speech, religious attacks, religious proselytism, sectarian promotion, satanism, spiritism, occult practices, witchcraft promotion, demon worship, religious harassment, extremist religious content, or other content considered inappropriate by THE MOOO, EBCHATS, or Mezel Studios. We reserve the right to reject any submission that does not align with our community standards and values.
14. Mission & Impact
    By participating in EBCHATS, you understand that part of the platform’s mission is to support storytelling, education, emotional impact, and positive initiatives connected to Mezel Education and related projects.

By continuing, you acknowledge that you have read and accepted these terms.
