1. Agreement to these terms
By using this website or submitting a creator application, you agree to these Website and Application Terms and acknowledge the Privacy Notice. In these terms, "Wavelaunch," "we," and "us" mean Wavelaunch Studio LLC. If you do not agree, do not submit an application.
2. Using the website
You may use the website only for lawful purposes. You must not interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorised access, submit malicious code, impersonate another person, scrape private areas, or use the service to violate another person's rights.
Private WavelaunchOS and studio-admin areas may be used only by the person or team member to whom access was issued. Login credentials must be kept confidential.
3. Creator applications
You must be at least 18 years old and provide information that is accurate to the best of your knowledge. Submitting an application is free and does not guarantee selection, investment, a partnership, or any specific commercial outcome.
Wavelaunch may accept, waitlist, decline, or stop reviewing an application at its discretion. We may verify relevant creator-profile and audience information before making a decision.
4. Program terms and resources
The website describes the current intended D26 model: accepted creators receive a $250,000 commitment in non-cash operating resources and specialist services, keep 100% of their company equity and intellectual property, and share 25% of the brand's net profits with Wavelaunch for 24 months from commercial launch.
After those 24 months, the original profit share ends unless both sides agree to a new commercial arrangement in writing. Wavelaunch also receives 25% of sponsorships it sources for the creator; existing partnerships and independently sourced deals remain unaffected.
The $5,000 onboarding fee becomes due only after an application is accepted, both sides align and sign the program agreement, and the creator chooses to proceed. It is refundable if Wavelaunch does not bring the brand to commercial launch for any reason. Wavelaunch does not collect this fee through the application form.
Resource scope, timing, valuation, decision rights, the definition of net profit, payment mechanics, termination rights, and every binding commercial obligation will be set out in the signed program agreement. If the website and a signed agreement conflict, the signed agreement controls.
5. Information you submit
You keep ownership of the information, concepts, and materials you submit. You give Wavelaunch permission to review, store, reproduce internally, and share them with advisers or specialist partners only as reasonably needed to assess an application or perform an agreed studio relationship.
Do not submit confidential information belonging to someone else or material you do not have the right to share. An application alone does not create an exclusive, fiduciary, employment, agency, or partnership relationship.
6. Wavelaunch materials
The website, Wavelaunch name, Studio identity, software, designs, text, and other materials supplied by Wavelaunch are owned by Wavelaunch or its licensors. You may not copy, resell, republish, or create misleading derivative services from them without written permission.
7. Availability and disclaimers
We work to keep the website accurate and available, but it may occasionally be incomplete, interrupted, or changed. Website information is general and is not legal, tax, financial, or investment advice.
Building a consumer brand involves commercial risk. Nothing on the website guarantees revenue, profitability, launch timing, audience conversion, or business success. Binding commitments exist only in a signed agreement.
8. Responsibility
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Wavelaunch is not responsible for indirect or consequential loss resulting solely from use of the public website or an unsuccessful application. Nothing in these terms excludes responsibility that cannot legally be excluded.
9. Changes and governing law
We may update these terms as the website or program changes. The effective date identifies the current version. The signed program agreement will identify the governing law and dispute process for an accepted creator relationship.
