Your rights as an OFC creator

A plain-language summary written to be read before you talk to us. It is not the contract and it does not bind anyone — but if the contract you are eventually shown says something different from this page, tell us, because one of the two is wrong and it should be fixed.

1. What you keep

• Your name, your professional name, your face, your voice, your signature, your story, and your career history.
• Everything you upload. It stays yours.
• The right to use pictures of your own cards however you like, forever.
• Every other category of work you do — merchandise, sponsorship, content, appearances, management. OFC has no claim on any of it.

2. What OFC receives

A limited licence to use your materials only in the collections you have personally approved, and to market those collections and the platform. That licence covers cropping, colour correction, retouching consistent with the proof you approved, and putting the image on the card. It covers nothing else.

3. What you approve, and only you

• Which photos and artwork may be used at all.
• The final design of every card.
• How many exist, in every tier.
• The rarity structure and the pull rates.
• Whether AI may touch your likeness — separately, specifically, and revocably.
• Any collaboration or sponsor appearing alongside you.
• Any reprint, ever.

Your manager or editor can help you design and upload. They cannot approve, cannot consent to AI use, cannot change where your money goes, and cannot sign. Those controls do not exist in a delegate account.

4. How the money works

A fan buys. Refunds, taxes, and the items named in your deal come out. Your signed rate is applied to what is left. The amount appears in your dashboard, is held for a reserve period against returns and chargebacks, and is then paid.

The proposed founding royalty rate is 20% of net merchandise revenue, and the proposed reserve period is 90 days. Your signed Royalty Schedule is what actually controls, and it will show the exact deductions.

5. The launch fee, and why you never pay it

Building a first collection costs $6,500. For the founding class, that is deferred and non-recourse. In plain terms: we never invoice you for it, we recover it only by taking 50% of each royalty payment until it is covered, you always keep the other half, and anything still outstanding after 24 months is cancelled. If your cards do not sell, you owe nothing.

6. What protects you

• Nothing prints without your written approval. Not a card, not a quantity, not a reprint.
• No secret reprints. Caps are sealed, published, and can only be raised with you plus two OFC officers, logged in public.
• You see the money trail. Order-level statements, dashboard records, and a limited audit right.
• No hidden management deal. Making cards does not make OFC your agent or manager.
• No AI without consent. No deepfake, no voice clone, no body change — written permission only, and you can withdraw it.
• You can leave. Clear rules for notice, existing stock, final payment, and stopping future use.
• You get independent advice. At least seven days with the agreement before signing, and we expect you to use them.

7. What you promise us

• You are 18 or older and can legally sign.
• You own what you upload, or have written permission — including from the photographer.
• Everyone else shown has given permission.
• You make the required advertising disclosure when we pay you or give you product.
• You never promise fans profit, guaranteed value, or a price rise.
• You never fake sales or trade through hidden accounts.
• You give correct tax and payment details.
• You meet the approval and promotion dates, or tell us early.

8. What this is not

• Not a promise of income, sales, fame, resale value, or investor interest.
• Not a sale of your identity, your account, your audience, or your future earnings.
• Not a job, unless a separate document says so.
• Not a talent-agency or brand-deal contract.
• Not permission to use every photo you have ever posted.
• Not an investment in OFC, and not a security. If you ever want to invest in OFC, that is a completely separate process, with separate documents and separate law.

9. Before you sign anything

Check you know: your exact royalty rate and what comes out before it is calculated; that the launch fee is deferred, non-recourse, and never invoiced; who pays for design, printing, shipping, refunds, and advertising; the print limit and whether reprints are allowed; exactly what OFC may do with your name and image; how long it lasts and how you end it; and that OFC is not promising you sales.

If you cannot answer all of those from the documents in front of you, do not sign, and tell us which one is unclear.
