TERMS OF THE RIORISE PARTNER PROGRAM FOR CONTENT CREATORS (INFLUENCERS)
This English version is the legally binding version
Revision date: 30 September 2026
These Terms (the "Terms", the "Program") govern the participation of individual content creators (the "Creator", "Partner") in the partner program for the promotion of the game RioRise (the "Game"), operated by NOVABITS LTD (the "Company").
By joining the Program (submitting an application and/or actually publishing content and receiving remuneration), the Creator confirms full acceptance of these Terms.
1. Definitions
1.1. Lead — a new unique user of the Game who meets the criteria of Section 4 of these Terms and is correctly attributed to the Creator.
1.2. Qualified Lead — a Lead that meets all the requirements of clause 4.2 and the other provisions of these Terms, was not obtained by prohibited methods (clause 4.4), and was not flagged by the Company's anti-fraud systems as suspicious and/or fraudulent.
1.3. Promo Code — a unique code assigned to the Creator by the Company for traffic attribution.
1.4. Hold — the return of a payout request to the Creator by the Company pending completion of verification under Section 7 of these Terms; the corresponding amount remains on the Creator's balance and is not paid until the verification is completed.
1.5. Platforms — social networks and content publishing platforms (including, without limitation: YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, X, Facebook, etc.) on which the Creator publishes content.
1.6. Fraud — any actions aimed at distorting results or manipulating the attribution system, including, without limitation: the use of bots, click fraud, artificial engagement, creation of fake accounts or account farms, purchase of traffic in violation of the Program rules or in bad faith.
1.7. Operational Parameters — remuneration rates, payout days and request windows, minimum withdrawal thresholds, standard verification periods, geographic coverage of individual Creators, bonus and incentive programs, and other operational conditions of the Program published in the Creator's personal account on the Company's website (the "Personal Account"), including its FAQ section.
2. Joining the Program and Approval
2.1. To participate in the Program, the Creator submits an application in the form provided by the Company, indicating the Platforms, channel links, valid contact details, and current payment details. The Creator is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information provided.
2.2. The Company may request additional information and documents from the Creator, including, without limitation: data for KYC/AML purposes, proof of age (18+), information on the legal status of the channel owner, and tax residence.
Identity verification (KYC) is required where payouts are processed by third-party payment providers that require such verification as a condition of processing, and/or where required by applicable law. In the present revision, all payouts outside Brazil are processed by the payment provider Garna, which requires successful completion of KYC verification before any payout can be requested or received. Payouts within Brazil via PIX do not currently require KYC with the payment provider; however, the Company reserves the right to request identity verification from any Creator where required by law or by the Company's compliance policies.
Failure to provide the requested information, refusal to complete verification, or provision of false or misleading data constitutes grounds for refusal, suspension of payouts, or exclusion from the Program.
2.3. The Company reviews the application and decides on approval or rejection at its sole discretion, without any obligation to give reasons.
2.4. Upon approval of the application, the Creator receives a Promo Code and participation instructions through the Company's official communication channels.
2.5. Upon approval of the application, the Company grants the Creator access to the Personal Account.
Where KYC verification is required under clause 2.2 (currently — for all payouts processed outside Brazil through Garna), the Creator completes identity verification through the third-party payment/verification service designated by the Company, via the link in the Personal Account, before requesting or receiving any payouts.
2.6. For KYC verification purposes, the Creator may need to submit identity documents and/or other information as required by the applicable verification service, including, without limitation: passport, national ID card, driver's license, residence permit, and/or additional data required to complete verification.
The exact list of documents, information, and verification steps is determined by the respective third-party service and may vary depending on the Creator's country of residence.
3. Participation Criteria
To join the Program, the Creator must meet the following criteria:
3.1. The most recent material published (video, stream, post) on the Creator's channel/page must be no older than one (1) month at the time of application.
3.2. The Creator's channel/page must contain content directly related to the Game (for example, a video, review, stream, or other material mentioning or demonstrating the Game).
3.3. The Company may re-verify compliance with the participation criteria at any time. In case of non-compliance, the Company may suspend or terminate the Creator's participation in the Program and refuse payment of remuneration for Leads obtained during the period of non-compliance.
3.4. The Creator's social media accounts used for participation in the Program must be publicly accessible. Participation through private, closed, or restricted-access accounts (including private Instagram pages and similar) is not permitted.
4. Lead Conditions and Attribution
4.1. A Lead is credited to the Creator when all of the following conditions are met simultaneously:
a) the user is new to the Game, has never previously registered an account, and registers using the Creator's unique Promo Code; and
b) after registration, the user accumulates at least 120 (one hundred and twenty) minutes of total playtime within 30 (thirty) calendar days from the date of registration. Playtime accumulated after the end of this period is not counted toward Lead qualification; and
c) one (1) Lead is credited per unique player, regardless of the number of accounts, characters, or devices used by that player. Accounts identified by the Company's systems as belonging to the same player are counted as a single Lead.
4.2. A Qualified Lead is a Lead that meets the requirements of clause 4.1 and Section 6 of these Terms, as well as the Company's other anti-fraud criteria.
4.3. Lead attribution is determined exclusively on the basis of the analytics systems of the Company and/or authorized partner providers. The Company's tracking data prevails and is considered final and conclusive evidence of the volume and quality of Leads, including for the purpose of determining the user's location under clauses 4.6 and 4.7. Lead data in the Personal Account is updated periodically (currently once per day) and may be displayed with a delay; such delay does not affect attribution or remuneration.
4.4. Leads obtained through bots, incentivized traffic, click farms, account farms, mass distribution of codes, spamming with Promo Codes, purchase of fake traffic, misleading advertising, abuse of the Game's internal communication channels, or any other unfair, deceptive, or unauthorized practices are not counted and may result in suspension or termination of participation under Section 11. Content that demonstrates, promotes, or exploits bugs or vulnerabilities of the Game entails immediate exclusion from the Program, in addition to possible in-game sanctions.
4.5. Each Creator may have only one (1) Promo Code within the Program. Multiple Promo Codes or duplicate accounts created for the purpose of obtaining additional remuneration, manipulating attribution, or otherwise circumventing these Terms are strictly prohibited and may result in immediate termination of participation under Section 11.
4.6. Geographic attribution. Unless extended geographic coverage has been individually agreed in advance by the Company (through official communication channels and reflected in the Creator's Operational Parameters), remuneration is paid only for Leads attributed to users located in the Creator's own country, provided that such country is included in the territories listed in clause 13.3. Leads attributed to users from other countries are not paid by default.
4.7. Leads attributed to users outside the territories listed in clause 13.3 are not payable under any circumstances, regardless of individual agreements under clause 4.6.
4.8. Accounts flagged by the Company's anti-fraud systems (including, without limitation, on the basis of disposable or non-whitelisted email domains, patterns of similar registration data, or session activity without in-game actions) are not credited as Leads and are not displayed in the Personal Account statistics. The Company is not obliged to disclose the criteria, indicators, or data used by its anti-fraud systems.
5. Payouts
5.1. Remuneration is paid only for Qualified Leads confirmed by the Company's tracking system after verification in accordance with Section 7. Applicable rates and the payout currency are Operational Parameters and are communicated to the Creator through the Personal Account and/or the Company's official communication channels. The Company reserves the right to change the rates at its discretion.
5.2. Remuneration is paid only to Creators who have confirmed that they are 18 years of age or older.
5.3. The minimum withdrawal threshold and the applicable payout currency are Operational Parameters and are indicated in the Personal Account; for Creators participating outside the territory of Brazil, they may additionally depend on the payment provider and the selected withdrawal method.
5.4. Payouts are processed on the basis of approved requests prepared by the designated payout day indicated in the Personal Account, according to the Company's local time. Actual transfer times may vary depending on the Company's internal procedures and the operation of payment systems.
5.5. In the event of force majeure, the Company may postpone the payout date by notifying the Creator through official communication channels. Such postponement does not constitute a breach of the Company's obligations.
5.6. The Company does not act as the Creator's tax agent. The Creator is solely responsible for calculating and paying any taxes, fees, and other mandatory charges applicable to their income, and for complying with the laws of the country of their tax residence.
5.7. The Company does not process payout requests from Creators required to complete KYC verification under clause 2.2 until such verification has been successfully completed. During the verification period, accrued remuneration may be displayed in the Personal Account but is not payable.
5.8. Operational Parameters and precedence. The Operational Parameters published in the Personal Account (including the FAQ section) form an integral part of these Terms. The Company may change the Operational Parameters at any time, with effect from publication in the Personal Account and/or notification through official communication channels. In the event of a discrepancy between these Terms and the materials published in the Personal Account, these Terms prevail, except for the Operational Parameters, for which the version published in the Personal Account applies.
6. Rewards
6.1. Once per calendar month, a Creator who has generated at least one hundred and fifty (150) Qualified Leads in the previous month and continues to publish content about the Game may be entitled to request a discretionary in-game reward or item (the "Reward") with a nominal value of no more than two hundred (200) Rio Coins (in-game currency).
6.2. All Rewards, as well as any other in-game resources, items, currency, vehicles, or assets provided by the Company to the Creator for the purposes of the Program (collectively, the "Program Resources"), are promotional in nature and represent limited, revocable, and non-transferable license rights to access certain content of the Game.
Program Resources have no real or monetary value, are not exchangeable, and cannot be converted into fiat currency, cryptocurrency, or any other form of compensation, unless expressly permitted by the Company in writing.
Program Resources are provided "as is" and may be modified, replaced, or revoked at any time at the Company's sole discretion.
6.3. All Rewards are granted at the Company's sole discretion, and the Company reserves the right, at any time and without notice, to add, remove, modify, replace, suspend, or discontinue any Reward, its type, quantity, or availability. The quantity, type, and conditions of Rewards may change at any time, including after the publication of these Terms. The Company does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or continued existence of any specific in-game item or Reward.
6.4. Any Rewards granted or requested under this Section may be withheld, cancelled, or revoked if the Creator violates these Terms, engages in fraudulent, abusive, or deceptive activity, or is suspended or excluded from the Program. All such decisions are final and binding.
6.5. The Company reviews Reward requests at its discretion and may approve or reject them without any obligation to give reasons or provide compensation; such requests do not create a right to future Rewards.
7. Verification and Anti-Fraud Checks
7.1. Verification. Every payout request is subject to verification by the Company before payment. During verification the Company evaluates the behavior and quality of the users attributed to the Creator on the basis of internal metrics. Based on the results, the request is paid in full, paid in part, or returned to the Creator with the reason indicated (Hold); a returned amount remains on the Creator's balance and may be requested again once the reason is resolved. Leads found to be fraudulent, artificial, or otherwise non-compliant with these Terms are cancelled. The standard verification period is up to 14 (fourteen) calendar days. Verification applies to all Creators and all payout requests and does not by itself indicate any suspicion of violation.
7.2. Extended verification. The Company may extend the verification period beyond the standard period and/or return a payout request repeatedly where there are reasonable suspicions of fraud, use of unfair practices, and/or low traffic return based on the Company's internal metrics, as well as in other cases expressly provided for in these Terms.
7.3. In case of suspicions, the Company contacts the Creator to request explanations and supporting materials (for example, screenshots, content links, a description of how and where the Creator promotes the Promo Code, integration format). Failure to respond or to provide materials within a reasonable time may be treated by the Company as confirmation of the violations.
7.4. The Company reserves the right to refuse payment for disputed Leads where fraud, unfair practices, or other violations of these Terms are confirmed by internal verification and/or data from anti-fraud systems or partner tracking providers.
7.5. The status of each payout request is displayed in the Personal Account. Based on the results of verification, the Company pays, partially pays, or returns the request. During verification the Company may adjust Lead statistics in the Personal Account in either direction, including restoring Leads that were initially filtered out by the anti-fraud systems and subsequently confirmed as Qualified Leads. The Company's decision is final and may be reconsidered only at its sole discretion.
8. Creator Obligations and Rules of Conduct
8.1. The Creator must:
a) comply with the rules and user agreement of the Game, as well as other rules of the Company communicated to the Creator;
