1. who we are
co.lab is an influencer collaboration platform that connects content creators with brand campaigns. co.lab operates independently of magos media, from the same registered offices in johannesburg, south africa. references to "we", "us" and "our" in these terms mean co.lab; "you" means the creator or visitor using the platform.
2. the platform
co.lab lets creators apply to join our network, maintain a profile of their audience statistics and rates, receive campaign briefs, and report campaign performance. applying to join, or being listed in the network, does not guarantee campaign work, income, or any ongoing relationship. each actual collaboration is agreed separately per campaign.
3. eligibility & your profile
you must be at least 18 years old to join in your own capacity. creators aged 13–17 may only be registered with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these terms on their behalf.
you undertake that everything in your profile — follower counts, audience demographics, engagement rates, rates and contact details — is accurate and kept up to date, and that the social accounts you list are genuinely yours (or ones you are authorised to represent). we may suspend or remove profiles containing false or misleading information.
4. campaigns, briefs & reporting
when you are matched to a campaign, the brief on your profile page sets out the deliverables, timelines and requirements. by accepting a campaign you agree to deliver as briefed, to comply with applicable advertising rules (including the ARB code and platform disclosure rules for sponsored content), and to submit truthful performance statistics with genuine, unedited screenshot proof. fabricated statistics are grounds for immediate removal from the network.
5. rates, payment & exclusivity
rates in your profile are indicative. fees, payment terms and any usage or reshare licences for a specific campaign are agreed in writing (which may be by email or contract) before that campaign begins, and that agreement governs payment — not these terms.
if you declare exclusivity obligations in your profile, you are responsible for their accuracy. you must not accept a campaign that would breach an exclusivity agreement you hold with any brand.
6. content & intellectual property
you keep ownership of the content you create. by submitting material to co.lab (profile photos, media kits, campaign statistics and screenshots), you grant us a non-exclusive licence to use it for operating the platform: evaluating your profile, presenting you to prospective brand clients, and reporting campaign performance to the relevant brand. usage rights for campaign content itself (e.g. a brand resharing your post) are agreed per campaign as described in section 5.
the co.lab name, logo and platform are our property; nothing in these terms grants you rights to them.
7. acceptable use
you may not misuse the platform — including attempting to access other people's data, submitting malicious files, scraping the platform, misrepresenting your identity, or using the platform for anything unlawful. we may suspend access to protect the platform and its users.
8. leaving the network
you may leave at any time by emailing info@magosmedia.co.za, and we will remove your profile (subject to completing any campaign already in progress and to records we must keep by law). we may remove profiles that breach these terms or that have been inactive for an extended period.
9. liability
the platform is provided "as is". to the maximum extent permitted by south african law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits, or loss of opportunity arising from use of the platform, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees actually paid to you or by you (as applicable) for the campaign giving rise to the claim. nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, or your rights under the consumer protection act where it applies.
10. general
these terms are governed by the laws of the republic of south africa. we may update these terms from time to time; the current version is always at this page, and material changes will be flagged to active network members. if any provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in force. your personal information is handled as described in our privacy policy.
