Terms of Use

Stage. by Pi provides a creative marketplace for public discovery, profiles, hiring workflows, deal rooms, protected payment records, agreements, scheduling, creator commerce, and admin-reviewed dispute and payout operations.

Last updated: May 7, 2026Jurisdiction: Ranchi, Jharkhand, India
Use Stage only if you can enter a binding contract, or through a lawful guardian, business, or authorised representative.
Protected payment records are internal marketplace ledger records around Razorpay-collected funds. They are not a separate bank escrow, trustee, or nodal account product.
Specific work order, offer, package, event, agreement, or dispute terms can add operational details to these Terms.

Acceptance

These Terms govern access to Stage. by Pi, including public pages, accounts, profiles, creator packages, jobs, campaigns, events, applications, offers, deal rooms, agreements, payment records, disputes, admin tools, and related services.

By accessing Stage, creating an account, publishing content, submitting a brief, requesting a package, accepting an offer, paying through Razorpay, or using any marketplace workflow, you agree to these Terms and applicable policy pages.

Eligibility and Accounts

You must provide accurate account, profile, business, agency, tax, payout, and contact information. You are responsible for keeping credentials secure and for activity under your account.

Users entering paid work must be legally able to contract. If a minor talent is represented, account control and contracting responsibility must sit with a parent, legal guardian, agency, or other authorised representative as permitted by law.

Marketplace Workflows

Stage helps users discover profiles, publish work, apply to opportunities, compare candidates, request creator packages, negotiate scope, maintain deal-room records, record approvals, and manage disputes.

Stage is not a party to every creative service contract unless expressly stated. The client, creator, agency, or business remains responsible for scope accuracy, lawful conduct, deliverables, approvals, tax information, permissions, licences, and on-ground execution.

Payments, Fees, and Taxes

Payments may be collected through Razorpay Checkout, payment links, or other supported provider workflows. Stage records payment intent, order, capture, refund, payout readiness, invoice, and ledger status for operational review.

Amounts shown on Stage may include creator fees, platform fees, add-ons, taxes, expense reimbursements, or other line items where applicable. Users are responsible for applicable GST, TDS, income tax, invoicing, and statutory compliance for their role.

Content, Portfolio, and Usage Rights

You must own or have permission to upload, publish, license, sell, or share content on Stage. Do not upload unlawful, infringing, unsafe, misleading, confidential, or non-consensual material.

Usage rights for creative deliverables are governed by the accepted offer, work order, package terms, agreement terms, and any recorded usage-right notes. Payment alone does not automatically grant unlimited rights unless the relevant terms say so.

Safety, Disputes, and Platform Action

Stage may review reports, verification evidence, payment events, dispute evidence, public content, private deal-room records, and safety signals. We may hide content, restrict workflows, revoke verification, suspend accounts, block payouts, or preserve evidence where needed.

Disputes, refunds, and payout decisions are review-based and may depend on payment status, work progress, deliverables, approvals, usage rights, evidence, and applicable payment network rules.

Liability and Jurisdiction

Stage is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Stage is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, loss-of-profit, reputation, opportunity, or business interruption damages.

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to applicable consumer forums, payment network rules, statutory remedies, and mandatory law, courts at Ranchi, Jharkhand, India will have jurisdiction for contractual disputes involving Stage.
