If something goes wrong
Built for the parts that usually go wrong.
The same rules run on every Octoclip hire, for brands and creators alike.
- 01
A video misses the brief
Ask for one revision, tied to the must-include point it missed. The creator has 3 days to send the new version.
1 revision - 02
You can’t review in time
You have 5 days, and we remind you 24 hours before they’re up. After that the video approves itself, so the creator is paid on time.
5 days - 03
A creator doesn’t answer your offer
Nothing is charged. You give every offer an answer-by date of 1 to 7 days.
Nothing charged - 04
You want to turn a video down
Only for an objective reason, such as a missed deadline or a must-include point still missing after the revision. Low views or a change of mind don’t count.
Judged on the brief - 05
You and the creator disagree
A person at Octoclip looks at both sides and decides within 5 business days.
