Not infringe on any third-party intellectual property rights.
Not contain illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, or hateful material.
Not contain unauthorized personal information of others.

5. Creator Terms

Creators retain ownership of their content.
By uploading, you grant SurrealCast a non-exclusive license to host, stream, and distribute your content on the platform.
All uploads are subject to quality review before publication.
Revenue is calculated based on validated watch time during settlement periods.
Payouts are processed at the end of each settlement period, not instantly.

You may cancel your subscription at any time; access continues until the end of the billing period.
Pay-per-view rentals grant 48-hour access from the time of purchase.

Share account credentials or playback tokens with others.
Self-stream your own content to artificially generate revenue.
Engage in device farming or any form of fraudulent streaming.

8. Fraud Detection

SurrealCast employs automated fraud detection systems. Sessions identified as fraudulent (bot streams, looping playback, abnormal velocity, self-streaming, device farming) will not generate revenue and may result in account suspension.

9. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. Creators whose content is removed for policy violations may forfeit pending revenue for the affected content.
