Scout Terms of Service

Last Updated: September 23, 2026 Effective Date: October 8, 2026

Scout exists to do one thing well: connect brands with creators worth working with, and creators with opportunities worth taking.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") explain how Scout works, what you can expect from us, and the rules that apply when you use the Service. By accessing or using Scout, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

Part One — Using Scout

1. About Scout

Scout ("Scout," "we," "us," or "our") sources and vets creators for brand campaigns, then introduces confirmed creators directly to brands.

Scouty is Scout's AI messaging agent. Scouty talks with creators and brands by text message on iMessage and WhatsApp, by email, and on Discord, and tells you that it is an AI when you ask. Our team reads these conversations and may take over a thread at any time.

We do not process or facilitate payments between brands and creators. Any payment arrangements occur outside of Scout.

Scout is a trade name of Dayli Inc. Throughout these Terms, references to "Scout" mean Dayli Inc.

2. Eligibility & Accounts

Creators

To create a Scout account, you must:

• Be at least 18 years old.
• Maintain a public TikTok and/or Instagram profile with existing short-form content.
• Be approved through Scout's application or referral process.

Scout does not currently offer open registration. All creator applications are reviewed individually.

Scout currently accepts creator applications from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Applicants from other countries are placed on a waitlist.

Brands

Brands sign in to the Scout partner dashboard with Google, set up their own campaigns, and choose a plan. A brand may also have a separately signed service agreement with Dayli Inc.

Scout does not provide a public creator directory or creator search. A brand sees a creator's information only in connection with that brand's own campaign, and only after that creator has applied to or been confirmed for it.

A brand may access its own campaign data and act on its own campaigns through tools and AI assistants it authorizes, such as an API token or an AI assistant connected to its Scout account, with no more access than the brand has in the partner dashboard. The brand is responsible for everything those tools do on its behalf, and the AI assistants and other services a brand uses this way are the brand's own service providers, not Scout's.

3. Creator Profiles & Matching

Profile Visibility

Creator profiles are not browsable, and Scout's internal team is the only party with general access to them.

A brand sees a creator's name, phone number, Instagram and TikTok handles, portfolio link, and Scout standing tier and badges only in connection with that brand's own campaign, and only after that creator has applied to or been confirmed for it. Creators who declined the campaign or were skipped are not shown to the brand.

Creator profiles are never publicly searchable and are not visible to other creators.

Optional Demographic Information

Creators may choose to provide demographic information such as gender identity or location.

This information is used solely for matching purposes and is only shared with brands after a confirmed match.

Campaign Notifications

Scout may notify creators about matching campaigns by email, by text message on iMessage or WhatsApp, and on Discord. Message frequency varies, and the number of campaign opportunity messages Scout sends is limited.

Creators opt in to text messaging by texting JOIN to Scouty or by ticking the text-consent box on the creator signup form. Replying STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, OPTOUT, or OPT OUT stops messages on every messaging channel, and replying START starts them again.

Creators may unsubscribe from these emails at any time through account settings or the unsubscribe link included in each message.

Matching

Scout combines the reach of an open platform with the curation of an agency.

Campaign eligibility is determined using information such as:

• Location
• Gender (only where genuinely required for authentic representation)
• Content niche
• Creator preferences

Scout does not use ethnicity, age, follower count, or engagement metrics to determine campaign visibility.

Brands may only request gender or location requirements where reasonably necessary for authentic representation and consistent with applicable law.

Automated Tools

Scout uses automated tools, including AI models, to help review applications and public content, evaluate and score creators, match creators to campaigns, draft and send Scouty's replies, and compute a creator's standing tier from their activity.

Our team reviews applications, and a member of our team will review any automated outcome if you ask.

Part Two — Campaigns & Payments

4. Billing

Brands buy a plan for each campaign. A plan is sized by the number of creators the brand signs in a billing period, and only signed creators count toward it. A new account starts with a free trial. Plans run monthly or for a longer term of 3, 6, or 12 months, and are billed in advance for the term. Additional creator capacity can be added to a plan.

Plan pricing is shown in the dashboard before purchase.

Where a brand has separately signed a service agreement with Dayli Inc., that agreement governs the pricing, payment terms, and committed services it covers.

Brand billing runs through Stripe. Card details are entered on Stripe-hosted pages, and Scout never receives or stores full card numbers.

Invoices are issued directly by Dayli Inc.

A brand may cancel a plan at any time in the Stripe billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

All fees are non-refundable. If a brand cancels a plan, the plan stays active until the end of the current billing period, and no refund or credit is given for any unused part of a term, including a prepaid term of 3, 6, or 12 months, except where a refund is required by law.

Creator pay is not part of a plan. We do not process or facilitate payments between brands and creators, and any creator payment arrangements occur outside of Scout.

If a payment fails, Scout may retry the charge, suspend services, or both. Any fees imposed by your financial institution remain your responsibility.

5. Campaign Creation

Brands provide campaign requirements—including deliverables, compensation, timelines, and eligibility criteria—through the partner dashboard or their service agreement.

A brand may upload its own contract as a PDF. Automated tools read that contract to draft the campaign brief.

Scout prepares and publishes the campaign brief presented to creators.

Although Scout reviews submissions for compensation quality and general fit, this review does not constitute verification of a brand's identity, financial standing, or the accuracy of information provided.

6. Scope of Scout's Responsibility

Scout sources, vets, confirms, and introduces creators to brands. For creators enrolled in a campaign, Scout also guides onboarding and activation steps, sends reminders, may set up a group chat between a brand and its creators, runs a Discord community for some campaigns, and tracks the public performance of campaign posts.

Scout does not:

• Process creator payments
• Produce or review campaign content
• Guarantee campaign results

Brands remain solely responsible for the accuracy of all campaign information they provide, including compensation, deliverables, timelines, and requirements.

Scout is not responsible for inaccurate, misleading, or fraudulent information supplied by brands, regardless of whether that information appears in a campaign brief.

Creators should independently evaluate every opportunity before accepting a campaign.

Part Three — Community Standards

7. Equal Opportunity

Scout is committed to providing equal access to opportunities.

Discrimination based on gender identity, ethnicity, or any other protected characteristic is prohibited.

For creators, demographic information has no effect on general platform access.

For brands, demographic information may only be used where necessary to support authentic representation within campaign content.

Questions or concerns regarding discrimination may be sent to:

founders@scoutnow.me

8. Suspension & Termination

Scout may suspend or terminate access to the Service at any time, with or without notice.

Examples include, but are not limited to:

• Violating these Terms
• Misusing the platform
• Providing false information
• Conduct inconsistent with Scout's standards

Scout may also remove creators who no longer meet network quality standards, including creators whose content quality, activity level, or public social presence no longer aligns with the platform.

Creators wishing to permanently delete their account may contact:

founders@scoutnow.me

9. Changes to the Service

Scout is an evolving platform.

We may modify, suspend, discontinue, or replace any feature of the Service at any time, with or without notice.

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

Part Four — Legal Terms

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Scout, Dayli Inc., and their officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to:

• Use of the Service;
• Inability to use the Service;
• Actions or content of third parties;
• Unauthorized access to user content or communications.

Scout's aggregate liability for all claims shall not exceed the greater of:

• US$100, or
• the total amount you have paid Scout during the twelve months preceding the claim.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Scout, Dayli Inc., and their officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:

• your use of the Service;
• your violation of these Terms;
• your infringement of another person's rights; or
• content you submit through Scout.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

13. Changes to These Terms

Scout may update these Terms from time to time.

For material changes, we will provide notice by email or through the Service at least 14 days before the updated Terms become effective.

Continued use of Scout after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be modified only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. The remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

15. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Scout regarding the Service.

If a signed service agreement between Scout and a client conflicts with these Terms regarding pricing or scope of services, the signed agreement will control.
