Terms of Service

Last updated: January 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using SponsorsDB ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

SponsorsDB provides:

  • Sponsor Database: A database of media channels (newsletters, podcasts, YouTube channels) that accept paid sponsorships, including pricing estimates and contact information.
  • Subscription Access: Ongoing access to updated data with additional features.
  • Managed Campaigns: Done-for-you sponsorship outreach and booking services.
  • Creator Portal: Tools for creators to manage their profiles and receive offers.

3. Data Accuracy Disclaimer

The information in our database is collected from publicly available sources and creator submissions. While we strive for accuracy:

  • Pricing is estimated and may not reflect current rates
  • Contact information may change without notice
  • Audience metrics are approximations
  • Channel availability is not guaranteed

Verified badges indicate that information was confirmed within the last 14-30 days, not that it is currently accurate.

4. Pricing and Payment

4.1 Snapshot Access ($199)

One-time payment for access to a point-in-time database export. No ongoing updates included.

4.2 Pro Subscription ($49/month or $299/year)

Recurring subscription for ongoing access with weekly updates. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled. Cancel anytime; access continues until the end of the billing period.

4.3 Managed Campaigns

Setup fee ($500-$2,500) plus success fee (10-20% of booked sponsorship spend). Specific fees are confirmed before campaign start.

5. Refund Policy

See our detailed Refund Policy for complete terms.

  • Snapshot: 30-day money-back guarantee if you're unsatisfied with data quality
  • Subscription: No refunds for partial months; cancel to stop future charges
  • Managed Campaigns: Booking Guarantee applies (see Section 6)

6. Booking Guarantee (Managed Campaigns)

7. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to:

  • Resell, redistribute, or publicly share database contents
  • Scrape or automate data extraction from our platform
  • Use the service for spam, harassment, or illegal purposes
  • Misrepresent your identity when claiming creator profiles
  • Submit false or misleading information

Violation may result in immediate termination without refund.

8. Creator Terms

Creators who claim profiles agree to:

  • Provide accurate information about their channel
  • Respond to legitimate sponsorship inquiries in good faith
  • Honor bookings made through the platform
  • Pay platform fees (5-10%) on bookings facilitated through SponsorsDB

Creators may remove their profile from search results or request full deletion at any time.

9. Intellectual Property

The database structure, user interface, and proprietary algorithms are owned by SponsorsDB. Channel information remains the property of respective creators. You receive a limited, non-exclusive license to use purchased data for your own business purposes.

10. Limitation of Liability

SponsorsDB is provided "as is" without warranty. We are not liable for:

  • Inaccurate or outdated information in the database
  • Failed sponsorship negotiations or bookings
  • Channel performance or audience quality
  • Any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages

Maximum liability is limited to fees paid in the 12 months preceding any claim.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or prominent notice on the website. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
