Programme details, rates and tiers are set by Jhilke Studio and can change over time. The dated terms always apply. The creator guide explains these terms in plain steps; if the two ever differ, these terms apply.

1. Joining

Creators join Jhilke Circle by applying through the form on circle.jhilkestudio.com, or when Jhilke Studio invites them directly. Jhilke Studio reviews applications and may accept, waitlist or decline them. Applying does not create a creator partnership. Before we approve a creator or activate an offer, we confirm that they can use Shopify Collabs and set up a payout method, and check that their audience can reasonably reach customers in the EU countries to which we ship.

The creator may live anywhere. Their ability to join and receive payment depends on the Collabs account and payout options available to them. Jhilke Studio currently ships products only to EU countries. We do not promise product delivery outside those countries.

The creator must be at least 18 and legally able to enter a contract where they live.

Joining means the creator has read the terms version named in the approval email.

Approved creators are added to the Jhilke Circle members email list, which carries programme notices such as tier changes, payout statements and changes to these terms, and a first look at new prints and the creator assets made for them before they are public. Joining includes confirming that list from the email we send. The members list is separate from the Glint List, which stays optional, and we do not use it for marketing.

The creator takes part as an independent creator. Jhilke Circle does not make the creator an employee, agent or representative of Jhilke Studio, and neither side can make commitments for the other.

2. Links, codes and eligible sales

Shopify Collabs issues the creator's referral link and any customer code. Only sales that Collabs attributes to the creator's active link or code and treats as commission eligible count toward commission and tier review. A separate UTM link or a mention without a Collabs link or code does not create commission.

Every order that Collabs attributes to the creator's link or code earns commission, whether the customer is new or has bought from Jhilke Studio before, for as long as the creator's link and code are active. The code counts whenever it is entered at checkout. A link counts for orders placed within 90 days of the customer opening it. A customer who comes through the creator's link or uses their code gets the creator's discount. Cancelled orders and refunded amounts do not count.

We assess a creator's tier using qualifying attributed product sales over the rolling preceding 60 days. Canceled orders and refunded amounts do not count. The active offer shown in Collabs controls the commission rate for new orders. A tier change applies to new attributed orders after the updated offer takes effect; it does not change commission already earned on earlier orders. We review tiers in both directions as sales enter and leave the 60-day window.

These do not earn commission and may be reversed: orders the creator places for themselves or their household with their own link or code; sales that come from bidding on "Jhilke" or "Jhilke Studio" in paid search ads; codes published on coupon, deal or cashback sites; and sales from spam, unsolicited messages, paid clicks, fake accounts or any other way of creating artificial traffic.

3. Tiers and customer offers

Any customer code applies only to eligible products and orders. It can combine with another offer only when the store's checkout permits that combination. A code does not change the store's delivery area.

Jhilke Studio may agree individual terms with a creator in writing, for example a tier for a stated period or a gifted product. Those agreed terms apply for the period they state, and these terms apply to everything else.

4. Holding period and payout

Collabs holds commission for 45 days from the purchase date. During that period, a canceled or fully refunded order can cancel commission. A partial refund or an order dispute can change what remains payable under Collabs rules. After the holding period, commission moves to Jhilke Studio's Shopify bill. Creator payout depends on that bill being paid, the creator activating automatic payouts, the platform's payout threshold and its payout schedule. The 45th day is the end of the hold, not a guaranteed payout date.

The creator is responsible for their own tax reporting and for keeping their payout details current. Shopify Collabs processes the tracked commission and payout. Jhilke Studio does not issue a second payment for the same attributed sale. Jhilke Studio pays the Collabs processing fee on commission; it is not deducted from the creator's commission.

If the creator is registered for VAT or a similar tax, they tell us so that the commission can be documented correctly.

5. Content and disclosure

The creator decides what to make and when to post unless a separate written campaign brief says otherwise. Each post that contains a Collabs link or code, promotes Jhilke Studio in return for commission, or follows a gifted or paid arrangement must clearly disclose the commercial relationship in the post itself. The creator should use the platform's paid partnership tool where available and tag Jhilke Studio. A platform tag alone may not tell every viewer that the creator can earn commission, so the disclosure should say so in plain language. Put it where viewers see it before they click or buy: the platform's paid partnership label, or a clear tag at the start of the caption or spoken in a video, such as #ad, #anzeige, #werbung, #reclame or #publicité. A tag hidden among other hashtags or behind "more" is not enough.

Any product Jhilke Studio sends the creator is theirs to keep. A gift does not oblige the creator to post, and a post about a gifted product is advertising that must be disclosed in the same way. The creator is responsible for any tax on gifts where they live.

The creator must use material they have the right to publish, describe products and offers accurately, and avoid claims that Jhilke Studio has not supplied or approved. The creator must not present themselves as speaking for Jhilke Studio. Music, footage and other material in a post must be licensed for that use by the creator or the platform. The creator must not post fake reviews or content that is hateful, harassing or unlawful while promoting Jhilke Studio.

6. Sharing your posts

Jhilke Circle is a collaboration, and under these terms Jhilke Studio does not buy the creator's content. We do not download, license, edit or re-upload a creator's photos or videos, and we do not use them as user-generated content (UGC) or in advertising.

When a creator publishes a post that features or tags Jhilke Studio, we may embed that post from the creator's own account on our website, and share or repost it on our social channels with the platform's own embed, share or repost feature. These keep the creator's name and link back to the original post.

The creator stays in control of the post. When they delete it or make it private, we stop showing it: an embed of a removed post no longer displays, and we take down any share of it that the platform does not remove by itself. A creator can also ask us at collab@jhilkestudio.com to remove an embed or a share at any time, and we remove it within 14 days. The creator keeps all rights in their content.

Any other use needs a separate written agreement with the creator first, including paid advertising, use as UGC, a download or an edit. If we want to buy the rights to a creator's content, we offer separate terms and payment for it.

7. Pausing and ending a partnership

After six calendar months without a qualifying attributed sale, Jhilke Studio reviews whether to keep, pause or end the connection. Either party may request to end the partnership. Jhilke Studio may pause a connection when it needs to investigate misuse of a code, false claims, missing disclosure or a platform payment dispute. Pausing deactivates future links and codes through Collabs. It does not erase commission already earned and still payable under these terms and Collabs rules. Cancellations, refunds and valid disputes can still adjust pending commission.

Jhilke Studio may end a partnership straight away if the creator seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, for example through fraud, self-referral, hidden advertising or false claims. Commission on sales affected by the breach is not payable. Commission earned properly before that point remains payable.

8. Changes and contact

Jhilke Studio may revise the programme for future orders. We will provide the new dated terms before asking a creator to accept a material change. Earlier orders remain governed by the terms and offer that applied when those orders were placed, subject to later cancellations, refunds and disputes.

Programme notices go to the members list. A creator who leaves that list remains a member, and we send them essential notices, such as payout details and changes to these terms, by direct email from collab@jhilkestudio.com.

Questions about the programme can be sent to collab@jhilkestudio.com.

9. Creator data

Jhilke Studio uses the creator's name, contact details, social accounts and attributed sales to review applications, run the programme and pay commission. To help review applications, an AI assistant reads the channel details and audience description the applicant gives, without their email address or name, and suggests a decision with reasons. A person makes every decision. Shopify Collabs holds payout details. The privacy policy explains how we handle personal data and the creator's rights over it.

10. Liability, law and disputes

Neither side is liable to the other for indirect loss, such as lost profit or lost followers. Jhilke Studio's total liability to a creator under these terms is limited to the commission paid or payable to that creator in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited, such as for fraud or intentional harm.

These terms and any partnership under them are governed by the law of Portugal, where Jhilke Studio is established. If a disagreement comes up, write to collab@jhilkestudio.com first and we will try to settle it by email. This does not take away any right the creator has under the law of the country where they live.

These terms cover the creator partnership. Purchases from the store are covered by the Terms of Service.
