Don't do anything illegal, abusive towards others, that abuses DreamVault in a technical way, or that exploits DreamVault in an unintended manner that is detrimental to us, like using DreamVault as a storage platform. If you are a Dreamer earning money on DreamVault, we may be exposed to risk based on what you do with those funds. As a result, we may also look at what you do outside of DreamVault. You can find more detailed information in the Community Guidelines and security policies herein. These terms and our policies cover most issues, but we reserve the right to add new policies in order to take action to prevent new issues that may arise from time to time.
Dreamers
To summarize: A Dreamer is someone who creates a page on DreamVault to engage with Builders who purchase offerings on DreamVault to support the Dreamer's creations. Dreamers can create wish lists of items for Builders to purchase as gifts for Dreamers, or curate a storefront, which is a list of items that Builders can purchase for themselves from our merchandise marketplace. There are a lot of details below involving payments, fees, taxes, and restrictions that you should read in full if you are a Dreamer.
Dreamer Page
To become a Dreamer, simply launch your page to start allowing others to follow you. When you join DreamVault, you become part of the DreamVault community. You can use Dreamer tools that we provide to, among other things, showcase your creations, engage with the DreamVault community, and provide merchandise to Builders through our extensive merchandise marketplace. On DreamVault, you can provide your Builders something exciting that gives them special benefits they want, including additional access, merchandise, exclusive creations, and engaging community experiences. In turn, you will receive loyal support from your Builders, and revenue from offerings that Builders have purchased on DreamVault.
Payments
As a Dreamer, you may make offerings available on DreamVault on a one-time basis. Unless otherwise indicated, all prices, fees and other charges are in U.S. dollars, and all payments shall be in U.S. currency. Also, where supported and subject to your controls as applicable, we may automatically increase the prices of offerings to Builders to account for the fees imposed by the affiliate platforms on which the associated purchases were made in a manner that may be determined at our sole discretion. Our list of current affiliate platforms we work with include, but are not limited to: Shoppable, Impact, Narrative, Amazon, and Skimlinks. Payments from the affiliate platforms generally range from 3% to 20%.
We typically handle payments issues such as fraud, chargebacks, and resolution of payments disputes, though, for purchases made through certain platforms, the associated platforms may handle these payments issues. We try to provide timely access to the funds you've earned on DreamVault. Purchases made on affiliate platforms and different levels and types of DreamVault service may have different timelines associated with funds becoming accessible to you and/or may require that reserves of funds are withheld from becoming accessible to you. You may, however, occasionally experience further delays in accessing these funds.
We may also block or withhold access to these funds for violations of our terms or policies or for compliance reasons, including collecting tax reporting information. When this happens, we try to communicate the reason to you promptly. If you have questions about access to funds being blocked or withheld, please email us at helpdesk@dreamvault.co. In order to protect Dreamers, we may block Builders' payments if we believe them to be fraudulent. Sometimes activities like refunds to Builders and chargebacks from Builders can put your account balance into the negative and any fees you've incurred from DreamVault or the affiliate platforms on which the purchases were made, as described below, may not be refunded to you when such refunds and chargebacks are processed. If your balance becomes negative, we reserve the right to recover those funds from future payments.
Fees
As a Dreamer, there are fees associated with your offerings on DreamVault. The general nature of these fees is summarized below. These fees may increase with notice to you:
- The platform fee, is currently calculated as ten percent (10%) of successfully processed payments by the affiliate platforms. For service levels and types that include merch, please note that, in addition to the platform fee for using the merchandise marketplace, we also charge you for the cost of the merchandise itself based on the quantity and SKUs of the associated items.
You can see the fees for any offerings on the DreamVault platform. Also, as described above, when offerings are purchased on affiliate platforms, those platforms may impose fees for those purchases. We endeavor to provide you with information about those fees in the DreamVault platform and, where supported and subject to your controls as applicable, DreamVault may automatically increase the prices of offerings to Builders to account for those fees.
If a Builder pays in a currency that is different from the currency associated with their payment instrument, then the financial institution associated with that payment instrument may charge them a foreign transaction fee for that payment. We are not applying this fee and have no control over it, have no knowledge of whether the fee is applied, and do not receive any of the funds from that fee.
Even if a Builder pays in the same currency as the currency associated with their payment instrument, when a Builder's payment is processed in a country different from the one associated with their payment instrument, then the financial institution associated with that payment instrument may charge them a foreign transaction fee for that payment. We are not applying this fee, have no knowledge of whether the fee is applied, and do not receive any of the funds from that fee, but our choices about payment processing may impact or otherwise give rise to this fee.
Tax
In order to satisfy our tax obligations, we collect tax identification information and, in certain circumstances, report this information and earnings to tax authorities as legally required. For example, if you are located in the United States or are a United States citizen who has earned $600 or more, DreamVault is required to issue you a Form 1099-K at year end. For purposes of Forms 1099-K, we treat all Dreamer earnings as earned for the sales of goods or services. You are responsible for reporting any income, withholding, or other earnings-based taxes which may be due as a result of money you've earned on DreamVault. As a DreamVault user, you warrant (which means you make a legally enforceable promise) that you will at all times comply with all laws and regulations relating to taxes applicable to your use of DreamVault. If, at any point while you have a DreamVault account, any tax non-compliance occurs in relation to you (including a failure by you to report earnings or the imposition on you of any penalty or interest relating to tax) or if any litigation, inquiry or investigation is commenced against you that is in connection with, or that may lead to, any occurrence of tax non-compliance, you agree that you will notify us by email to helpdesk@dreamvault.co within seven days of the occurrence of the non-compliance or the commencement of the litigation, inquiry or investigation (as applicable). We are not responsible for advising you on your taxes and will not be liable for any non-payment of taxes by DreamVault users.
We are additionally responsible for a number of transactional taxes across the world. These include, but are not limited to, Valued Added Tax (“VAT”), Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) and other local service or sales taxes in non-US locations (collectively referred to as “VAT”), as well as state sales tax in the United States. In locales where we are required to collect transaction tax from Builders, invoices presented to and payments processed from Builders will include the tier or custom payment amount plus the applicable tax. Applicable tax will be charged in addition to the price of a relevant transaction based upon the benefits that you indicate that you will be offering. Any applicable taxes are based on the rates applicable to the billing address you provide to us, and will be calculated at the time a transaction is charged. Unless otherwise indicated, all prices, fees and other charges are in U.S. dollars, and all payments shall be in U.S. currency.
Amounts payable under this agreement between a Dreamer and DreamVault may include VAT or sales tax where applicable. You agree that you will provide us with any information and documents for accurate tax determination and compliance, where and as we request or as otherwise required.
Restrictions
We don't allow creations and benefits that violate our terms or policies. You can learn more by visiting our Community Guidelines and Benefit Guidelines. A high level summary of those rules is that we don't allow:
- illegal creations or benefits;
- creations or benefits that are abusive towards other people;
- creations or benefits that are misleading or deceptive;
- creations or benefits that use others' intellectual property, unless you have written permission to use it, or your use is protected as fair use; or
- creations or benefits with Adult/18+ content, including all forms of nudity and sexual acts.
If your Builders include people under the age of 18, then please remind them that they need their parent's or legal guardian's permission to make purchases on DreamVault, and that those under the age of 13 cannot use DreamVault. We are not required to allow any particular person or group of persons to access an offering, be a Builder or otherwise access DreamVault services.
An account is tied to your creative output and cannot be sold or transferred for use by another Dreamer.
We are constantly experimenting with product features to make DreamVault better and may add, remove, or test features with a subset of Dreamers. Access to these features is not guaranteed and may not be subject to your control. Instead, we may enable and disable these early-access, beta, or test features at our sole discretion. These features may also be subject to additional restrictions and limitations, including some that we describe through the DreamVault platform.
Builders
To summarize: A Builder is someone who subscribes and/or makes a purchase on DreamVault, which may come with special benefits from Dreamers they love. Builders can purchase items for Dreamers or themselves on DreamVault through wish lists and Dreamers' storefronts. Builders may receive benefits and directly interact with Dreamers using tools supplied by us, and, through DreamVault, have the opportunity to engage with a community of Builders and Dreamers.
As a Builder, you're supporting a Dreamer and may receive special benefits like shoutouts, exclusive creations, or merchandise. When you purchase gifts, DreamVault and the affiliate platform (e.g. Walmart) are each separate billing entities associated with the charge. You will see two charges for example if you purchase a gift; one charge for the item from the affiliate platform and one charge representing a percentage of that item's cost as the DreamVault platform fee. If your primary payment method fails and you've configured one or more backup payment methods, then we will charge those backup payment methods based on that configuration.
To become a Builder, simply purchase a gift or other offering on DreamVault. Subject to these terms and full payment of all applicable charges, to the extent an offering includes access to one or more of a Dreamer's creations, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, limited license to access and view those creations for your own private, personal, non-promotional, non-commercial use. Creations you gain access to in this manner will generally continue to be available to you, but may become unavailable at any time as described below.
If you are located in a jurisdiction in which DreamVault is required to charge and collect tax, for example VAT or sales tax, then this tax is added to the total charge. Except in limited circumstances, this tax is shown to you when purchasing an offering. DreamVault remits all tax collected to the applicable taxing authority. As tax is largely dependent on your location, you agree to keep your location complete and up to date in order to enable accurate collection of taxes.
If you pay in a currency that is different from the currency associated with your payment instrument, then the financial institution associated with that payment instrument may charge you a foreign transaction fee for that payment. We are not applying this fee and have no control over it, have no knowledge of whether the fee is applied, and do not receive any of the funds from that fee.
Even if you pay in the same currency as the currency associated with your payment instrument, when your payment is processed in a country different from the one associated with your payment instrument, then the financial institution associated with that payment instrument may charge you a foreign transaction fee for that payment. We are not applying this fee, have no knowledge of whether the fee is applied, and do not receive any of the funds from that fee, but our choices about payment processing may impact or otherwise give rise to this fee.
We are constantly experimenting with product features to make DreamVault better and may add, remove, or test features with a subset of Builders. Access to these features is not guaranteed and may not be subject to your control. Instead, we may enable and disable these early-access, beta, or test features at our sole discretion. These features may also be subject to additional restrictions and limitations.
All gifts are subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable vendor, which terms and conditions are stated on the applicable affiliate platform and on the applicable Dreamer's ordering list. Vendor, and not DreamVault, is solely responsible for the condition of gifts. All images of gifts are for illustrative purposes only, and gifts may vary from the pictures. Gift availability is subject to change without notice, and availability is not guaranteed. Although DreamVault uses its best efforts to ensure that the availability, colors and details of the gift are as described on the DreamVault platform, DreamVault does not guarantee that it will match in every instance.
DreamVault does not control the delivery time or method of any gift, and DreamVault is not liable for any delivery or shipping issues or delays. DreamVault is not responsible for any gift lost in transit, stolen after delivery, or lost due to an incorrect, incomplete or outdated address, a PO box address or an otherwise non-residential address. DreamVault will not be obligated to offer refunds for any lost or stolen gifts and Builders should submit such request directly with the vendor affiliate platform. The delivery estimate given by DreamVault stems directly from the retailer's delivery estimate and DreamVault takes no responsibility if this delivery estimate is exceeded due to circumstances out of our control. Each Dreamer is solely responsible for updating wish lists for non-affiliate and unverified stores with current pricing and details.
Once a Builder has purchased an item through the DreamVault platform, the order cannot be canceled or refunded unless the Dreamer chooses to cancel the order or refund the Builder themselves. DreamVault endeavors to keep ordering times as low as possible but please allow 30 business days for orders to be placed. If the order is not placed within 30 business days, Builder can request a refund. The Builder agrees to not dispute payments for orders that have not been placed within 30 business days of purchase. For the avoidance of doubt, the service provided by DreamVault to the Builder constitutes purchasing a given physical or digital good for the Dreamer, the Builder will not receive any tracking or order status information or physical or digital goods. DreamVault reserves the right to refuse any order in its sole discretion.
Refunds. Our policy is not to provide refunds, including if you lose access to offerings as described above, though we may allow for some exceptions where refunds are granted at our sole discretion. If you made a purchase on affiliate platforms, then DreamVault may not be able to address any associated refund requests, and you may need to contact those platforms directly. When you request a refund for an item purchase through an affiliate platform, you do so directly with the affiliate platform. Even if the refund is granted from the affiliate platform, there is no refund for the DreamVault platform fee.
Crowdfunding
If applicable, each Dreamer may opt to allow more than one Builder to contribute to the pur- chase of a gift (the “Crowdfunded Gift”). In order to participate in the purchase of a Crowdfunded Gift, a Builder must contribute at least $5.00 to the purchase price (unless the remaining unpaid portion of the Crowdfunded Gift's purchase price is less than $5.00 and greater than $0.50). When the Crowdfunded Gift's total purchase price is not met by contributions from Builders, Dreamer may, as applicable, (i) wait until additional Builders contribute the remaining unpaid portion of the Crowdfunded Gift's purchase price, (ii) pay the remaining unpaid portion of the Crowdfunded Gift's purchase price through the payment processor or (iii) pay the remaining unpaid portion of the Crowdfunded Gift's purchase price from Dreamer's DreamVault balance.
When undertaking a crowdfunded project, and especially when a project is successfully funded, Dreamers owe their Builders a high standard of effort, honest communication, and a dedication to bringing the project to life and using the crowdfunds for the purpose that was originally set out. At the same time, Builders agree and acknowledge they're not buying something when they back a project—they're helping to create something new, not ordering something that already exists. Every project is different. There may be changes or delays, and there's a chance something could happen that prevents the Dreamer from being able to finish the project, or not use the crowdfunds for the original stated purpose, which is not guaranteed. Dreamers are required to be honest, make no material misrepresentations in their communication to Builders, and make every reasonable effort to use the crowdfunds for the originally stated purpose. DreamVault is not liable for any damages or losses related to Builders and Dreamers use of DreamVault and the crowdfunding service.
Cryptocurrency Payment Terms
Dreamers and Builders may have the option to make/receive payments using cryptocurrency. By choosing to pay with cryptocurrency, you agree to the following terms in addition to our payment terms above. You also agree to our cryptocurrency payment partner Sphere and the terms found here https://spherepay.co/legal/terms.

In most situations, we will work with Dreamers and Builders to resolve any potential policy violations and allow the Dreamer or Builder to continue using DreamVault. DreamVault may terminate Dreamer or Builder accounts when we believe it is necessary to protect Dreamers, Builders, DreamVault, or the broader community, but it is not an action we take lightly.

If you have any dispute with us, you agree that before taking any formal action, you will contact us at DreamVault LLC, 11509 Beatrice St., Los Angeles, CA, 90066 and helpdesk@dreamvault.co , and provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information (including your username, if your dispute relates to an account). Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
All disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to the Terms of Use or DreamVault that are not resolved by the procedures identified above shall be resolved by individual (not group) binding arbitration to be conducted before JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Arbitration will be held in Los Angeles, California, and you and us agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Los Angeles, California in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms of Use, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
We shall bear the cost of any arbitration filing fees and arbitration fees for claims of up to $75,000, unless the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be frivolous. You are responsible for all other additional costs that you may incur in the arbitration including but not limited to attorneys' fees and expert witness costs unless we are otherwise specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law. If your claim is solely for monetary relief of $10,000 or less, and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing.
You and us agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in the party's respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND US AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, you or we may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court with jurisdiction or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). You or we may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction to the extent such claims do not seek equitable relief.
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to us at the address identified in at the bottom of these terms. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of (a) the “Last Updated” date of these Terms of Use as set forth above; or (b) your first date that you used DreamVault that contained any versions of the Terms of Use that included this version of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver, whichever is later. Otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them. If we change this 'Arbitration' section after the date you first accepted these Terms of Use (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Use), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of our email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and us in accordance with the provisions of this Section as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Use (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Use).
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE ABOVE DISPUTE PROCEDURES SHALL BE YOUR SOLE REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US REGARDING ANY ASPECT OF DREAMVAULT (INCLUDING THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS) AND THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO LEAD OR PARTICIPATE IN A LAWSUIT INVOLVING OTHER PERSONS, SUCH AS A CLASS ACTION.
Everything else
To summarize: These terms are the final word on DreamVault's policies and we will tell you if we make material changes to them.
These terms and any referenced policies are the entire agreement between you and us, supersede all prior agreements, and don't create any partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship between you and us. If any provision of these terms is held to be unenforceable, then that provision is modified to the extent necessary to enforce it. If a provision cannot be modified to make it enforceable, then it is severed from these terms, and all other provisions remain in force. If either party fails to enforce a right provided by these terms, then it does not waive the ability to enforce any rights in the future.
We may sometimes make changes to these terms. If we make a change to these terms that, in our sole discretion, is material, then we will let you know before the changes come into effect. Continuing to use DreamVault after a change means you accept the new terms or policies.
