Creator Guidelines
Last updated: 1st March 2026
These guidelines help you understand what’s expected when you share content on 82DASH. They summarise the key points from our Terms of Service.
By submitting content, you agree to those Terms – so it’s important to read them in full before uploading.
Who Can Participate
You must be at least 18 years old.
You don’t need an account to upload content – just a valid email address for confirmation and updates.
What You Can Upload
Upload only content that you created yourself, or that you fully own the rights to.
Make sure everyone visible in your photo or video has agreed to be included.
Content depicting individuals under 18 is not permitted.
Avoid content that:
- Includes copyrighted music, logos, or materials you don’t own
- Contains hate speech, violence, or discrimination
- Shows illegal, unsafe, or misleading activity
- Infringes on privacy or image rights
What Happens When You Upload
When you submit content through 82DASH, you keep ownership of it.
You also grant the brand or company that requested it a licence to use it.
That licence lets the brand:
Use your content worldwide and in perpetuity
Share it on websites, ads, social media, packaging, and printed materials
Adapt or crop it (without misrepresenting you)
The licence is exclusive for commercial use - you cannot licence the same content commercially to another company.
You keep the right to use and share your content on your own personal channels (e.g. social media, personal websites, portfolios).
You won't lose ownership, but you cannot withdraw the licence once it has been activated.
You will receive a receipt email with an upload ID for your records.
Fair Use and Transparency
You’ll always see the licence terms before you upload – nothing is hidden.
Once you confirm, the brand may feature your content publicly or in paid campaigns.
If you receive a reward or incentive, you should disclose that fact if you share or reference the content on your own channels (in line with advertising standards). The brand is separately responsible for labelling incentivised content in its own advertising.
Respect and Conduct
Treat everyone involved respectfully – no harassment, discrimination, or pressure to change your submission.
Keep communication with brands and 82DASH professional and constructive.
82DASH reserves the right to remove content or restrict access if guidelines are breached.
Good Practice Tips
Use natural light and show real moments – brands value authenticity.
Read the campaign brief carefully before uploading.
Double-check that you’re comfortable with how your content could be used.
Keep a copy of your submission for your records.
