What it is

Kick may place advertisements on or around user content, including within live streams, without compensating the content creator unless a separate written agreement provides otherwise. Users are not entitled to share in advertising revenue by default and cannot hold Kick liable for conflicts between platform ads and their own sponsorship arrangements.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause authorizes Kick to monetize user content through advertising without paying creators a share of that revenue by default, and releases Kick from liability for any conflicts those ads create with creators' independent sponsorship or exclusivity arrangements. Creators with existing brand deals or exclusivity contracts should be aware that Kick may run competing or conflicting advertisements adjacent to their content.
