Gleem Partner Agreement

1. Subject

This agreement governs participation of creators in the Gleem Partner Program operated by Anikeen UG (haftungsbeschränkt) & Co. KG ("Gleem"). Participating creators ("Partners") receive a share of the revenue Gleem earns from the sale of Gems on gleem.gg, plus additional features such as extended video storage.

2. Eligibility and Admission

Any creator with an active creator page on gleem.gg may apply. Accepting this agreement is an application to join and does not by itself create a partnership. Gleem reviews every application manually and decides on admission at its reasonable discretion; there is no entitlement to admission. The creator is informed of the decision by email, including the reason if the application is turned down.

Once Gleem has accepted the application, the creator must additionally (a) successfully complete identity verification (KYC) through our provider Stripe and (b) provide a valid payout destination (a PayPal email address, or a Wero phone number or email address). The partnership starts once both steps are complete.

Gleem may temporarily pause the admission of new partners at any time. Existing partnerships are unaffected.

3. Revenue Share (70/30)

The Partner receives 70% of the net revenue Gleem earns from Gem packages purchased through the Partner's page on gleem.gg. Net revenue is the amount our payment provider (merchant of record) remits to Gleem, excluding VAT and after deduction of the payment provider's fees. Purchases made with Twitch Bits in the Twitch extension are not covered by this agreement; they follow Twitch's own revenue split.

4. Settled on Purchase, Not on Redemption

The Partner's share is earned the moment a Gem purchase is paid — not when the Gems are redeemed. Unredeemed Gems are never a balance the Partner owes against; the share is final upon purchase. If a purchase is refunded or charged back, the share attributable to it is reversed on the Partner's account.

5. Payouts

Payouts are made monthly whenever the Partner's balance is at least €25; smaller balances carry over to the following month. Payment is sent to the PayPal or Wero destination on file. The Partner is responsible for keeping the payout destination accurate.

The minimum applies to the monthly run only. When participation ends, or when the Partner asks for their remaining balance, it is paid out regardless of the minimum. Earned shares never expire. While Gleem still owes the Partner money, the Partner cannot delete their user account — the balance would otherwise go with it.

6. Taxes and Reporting under the PStTG (DAC7)

The Partner is solely responsible for taxes on their Partner Program income, including any income tax and VAT. Gleem may request documentation (e.g. a VAT identification number) for tax purposes.

Gleem operates a digital platform within the meaning of the German Platform Tax Transparency Act (PStTG) and is therefore obliged to report Partners' income to the Federal Central Tax Office (BZSt) once a year. For this purpose the Partner must provide, and keep current, the following: given and family name or company name, address, date of birth (for natural persons), tax identification number together with its issuing state, and — where they exist — VAT identification number and commercial register number. Where the payout account is held by someone other than the Partner, that person's name must be provided as well.

What is reported is the above master data plus, per quarter, the remuneration paid to the Partner, the number of transactions, the fees withheld, and the identifier of the payout account. Gleem informs the Partner about the data reported about them.

Without these details Gleem may not make any payout. If the Partner fails to provide them despite two requests, Gleem may withhold payment and suspend participation in accordance with section 8. Shares already earned remain intact and are paid out as soon as the details are on file.

7. Additional Partner Features

Partners receive extended video storage (a larger maximum file size per video upload and a higher total storage quota). The current limits are shown in the product interface and may change in accordance with section 9.

8. Term, Suspension, and Termination

This agreement runs indefinitely. Either party may end it at any time with effect for the future; shares already earned are paid out under section 5. Gleem may suspend the partnership on reasonable suspicion of a breach of this agreement, the Gems Usage Policy, or the Terms of Service; no new shares accrue during a suspension.

9. Changes

Gleem may amend this agreement with effect for the future. We will notify Partners of material changes in text form at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued participation after the effective date constitutes acceptance; otherwise the Partner may end participation at any time.

10. Buyers' Consumer Rights

The rights of Gem buyers — including the Right of Withdrawal — are unaffected by this agreement.

11. The Partner's Independence

The Partner acts as an independent business. This agreement creates neither an employment or service relationship nor a partnership or commercial agency. The Partner is not subject to instructions from Gleem and is not integrated into Gleem's organisation.

The Partner decides freely whether, when, how often and with what content they are active on gleem.gg; there are no minimum volumes, broadcast times, attendance duties or exclusivity obligations. The Partner may work for other platforms and clients at the same time, uses their own equipment, and carries the entrepreneurial risk of their activity. What content is permitted follows solely from the Terms of Service and the law.

The Partner is responsible for registering and paying their own taxes and for their own social security. Gleem owes neither wage tax nor social security contributions for the Partner.
