Aspire Terms of Service

Influencer Marketing Platform | Last reviewed: January 2026

Overview

Aspire connects creators with enterprise brands for sponsored content campaigns. As one of the larger platforms in the space, their terms shape industry standards—unfortunately, those standards heavily favor brands and the platform over creator interests.

Key Terms Concerns

Extensive Content License

Creators grant Aspire and brands broad, perpetual licenses to content created through the platform. Your sponsored content may be used in ways and contexts you didn't anticipate, potentially forever.

Payment Timing Flexibility

Payment terms give the platform significant flexibility on timing. Creators may wait 30-90+ days after content delivery before receiving payment, with limited recourse for delays.

Creator Indemnification

Creators must indemnify the platform and brands against claims arising from their content. This puts legal liability squarely on creators, even for disputes involving platform policies.

Unilateral Terms Changes

Aspire can modify terms at any time. Continued platform use constitutes acceptance. Active campaigns may suddenly be subject to different terms.

Positive Aspects

Clear Campaign Structure

Campaign terms, deliverables, and compensation are clearly defined before creators commit. You know what's expected before accepting.

Payment Processing

Aspire handles payment processing, reducing collection issues creators face with direct brand relationships.

Creator Considerations

Key issues for creators on Aspire:

  • Negotiate content licensing scope before accepting campaigns
  • Understand payment timelines and budget accordingly
  • Consider liability exposure from indemnification clauses
  • Keep records of all campaign communications
  • Review specific brand agreements carefully
