Creator Account Requirements
To create a BlackTieVIP creator account, you must be at least 18 years old, possess a valid government-issued photo ID, and provide banking details for payouts. The registration process requires submitting a clear selfie holding your ID, a verified email, and, for U.S. creators, a W-9 tax form.
Core Creator Requirements
- Age Verification: You must be 18+ and submit a valid government-issued ID (passport, driver's license, or national ID).
- ID Selfie: A clear, high-quality selfie holding your ID card, showing both your face and the document clearly.
- Approval Process: Your identity is verified through a manual or automated process that can take up to 72 hours.
- Banking Info: You must link a bank account to receive payments.
- Tax Information: U.S. creators must complete a W-9 form.
Account Setup Details
- Username/Handle: A unique profile name is chosen.
- Social Media Linkage: You may be asked to provide social media handles to verify your identity.
- Verification Selfies: Ongoing verification requires occasional "selfie checks" to ensure the account holder is the verified creator.
Important Considerations
- Content Compliance: Content must comply with BlackTieVIP Terms of Service.
- Safety: Do not use filters or hats in your ID selfie, as this can lead to rejection.

Pricing and Payment
The User entering into a Creator Interaction agrees to pay the applicable User Payment plus any Indirect Sales Tax, which the Company and its Subsidiaries are authorised to collect. Subscriptions and Renewals: When you select "Subscribe," you agree to start a Subscription. A Subscription will automatically renew at the current rate (plus Indirect Sales Tax). You authorise the Company to charge you again after each Subscription, unless: (i) your payment is declined and you have not provided another payment; (ii) the Subscription price has increased; (iii) you switched off the "Auto-Renew" feature on the Creator's account; or (iv) you close your BlackTieVIP account before the new Subscription period begins.
Licence of Content
As part of a Creator Interaction, the Creator grants a Creator Interaction Licence. The Creator Interaction Licence permits a User access to Relevant Content. The Creator Interaction Licence does not grant any User ownership rights to the Relevant Content.
Expiry of Licence
The Creator Interaction Licence expires automatically without notice:
- if the User Payment was unsuccessful, charged back, or reversed;
- if the Creator deletes either the Relevant Content or their Creator account;
- when an active Subscription period ends;
- if the User's account is suspended or terminated;
- if the User breaches the BlackTieVIP Terms of Service;
- if Relevant Content is removed or the Creator's account is suspended or terminated; and
- if the User closes their account.
Removal of Content
The Company reserves the right to remove any Content from a Creator's account at any time. The User acknowledges that Creators may remove Content, including pay-per-view Content, at any time.
Cancellation and Refunds
- The User will gain access to the Relevant Content within 14 days of the Creator Interaction. The User agrees that any statutory right to cancel under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, EU Directive 2011/83, or any equivalent applicable law is therefore not applicable regarding any Creator Interaction other than a Subscription.
- This Agreement does not affect any statutory right to a refund a User may have under applicable law.
- Cancellations and refunds are also subject to the Company's Terms of Use.
Obligations between Creator and User
- The User and Creator agree to comply at all times with BlackTieVIP Terms of Service.
- The Creator is solely responsible for creating and publishing Relevant Content.
- The Creator warrants that it possesses all necessary rights to grant a Creator Interaction Licence.
- The Creator agrees to provide Paid Relevant Content once the User has made the User Payment.
- The User acknowledges that third parties may assist Creators in operating their accounts.
- The User agrees to make the User Payment required to access Paid Relevant Content.
- The User agrees not to initiate a chargeback unless the User disputes the Creator Interaction in good faith.
- The User assumes all risk of accessing the Relevant Content unless the Creator engages in negligence or another breach of duty.
No Guarantees
The User acknowledges that circumstances may prevent access to Relevant Content, including if the availability of all or any part of BlackTieVIP is suspended or inaccessible.
Applicable Law and Forum for Disputes
To the greatest extent permitted by the laws of the place where you live, this Agreement is governed by the laws of the United States, Bernalillo County, New Mexico. Any User resident in the United States may bring a claim under this Agreement in the courts of Bernalillo County, New Mexico.
Severability
In the event any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, or is prohibited by law, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
