  • Influencer Terms and Conditions

    The following terms and conditions (the “Agreement”) govern your (the “Influencer”) provision of Services (as defined below) to Dote, Inc. (“Dote”). BY REGISTERING VIA THE DOTE PLATFORM OR OTHERWISE TO BECOME AN INFLUENCER FOR DOTE, YOU AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE EXCLUSION OF ALL OTHER TERMS. Dote reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement at any time. It is Influencer’s responsibility to check this Agreement periodically for changes. Influencer’s continued performance of the Services following the posting of any changes to this Agreement constitutes acceptance of those changes. Changes will apply on a going-forward basis only – and will not apply to any Services already performed by Influencer.
