7.1 Tamreen may review, approve, reject, modify, or require revision of any Content or Program before it is published on the Platform. Tamreen's review is a commercial quality and compliance check and does not constitute an endorsement of the Content, nor does it shift liability for Content accuracy or safety to Tamreen.

(a) fails to meet Tamreen's quality or professional standards;
(b) contains inaccurate, misleading, unsafe, or professionally inappropriate information;

7.4 The Service Provider shall address all quality concerns and content modification requests from Tamreen promptly and professionally.
8. PAYMENT TERMS AND COMMISSION
8.1 Commission Structure

(a) Commission Rate: 15% of the Gross Transaction Amount; or
(b) Minimum Commission: KWD 3.000 per transaction — whichever is greater.
The Minimum Commission applies where 15% of the Gross Transaction Amount is less than KWD 3.000.
Illustrative examples:

8.2 Processor Fees — Borne by the Service Provider
All Processor Fees charged by MyFatoorah or any other designated payment processor, and any other transaction costs incurred during the processing of a User payment, are borne by the Service Provider. These fees are deducted from the Service Provider's share of the Gross Transaction Amount after Tamreen's Commission has been applied.
The applicable Processor Fee rates are governed by Tamreen's agreement with the payment processor and may vary. The actual Processor Fee for each transaction will be reflected in the Service Provider's monthly earnings statement.
8.3 Monthly Platform Fee
The Service Provider shall pay the applicable monthly Platform Fee for access to and use of the Platform infrastructure and services. The monthly Platform Fee is calculated according to the Service Provider's active subscriber count for the relevant month, unless the Service Provider is classified by Tamreen as a VIP Provider.
| Service Provider Category | Active Subscribers | Monthly Platform Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Non-VIP Provider | 0 to 49 subscribers | 10 KWD / month |

| Non-VIP Provider | 200 to 399 subscribers | 100 KWD / month |
| Non-VIP Provider | 400 to 499 subscribers | 150 KWD / month |
| Non-VIP Provider | 500+ subscribers | 200 KWD / month |
| VIP Provider | Any subscriber count | 0 KWD / month |
The Platform Fee is deducted from the Service Provider's monthly earnings before remittance. Where monthly earnings are insufficient to cover the Platform Fee, the outstanding balance shall be carried forward to the following month. Tamreen may classify or reclassify a Service Provider as a VIP Provider at its discretion according to its commercial, partnership, launch, or promotional criteria.
8.4 Free Trial Transactions
Where a User accesses the Service Provider's Program during a free trial period, no Commission is earned by the Service Provider for that trial period. Commission becomes payable only upon conversion of the trial to a paid Subscription.
8.5 Payment Schedule
Service Provider earnings are remitted on a monthly basis, within 15 business days after the close of each calendar month. The payment covers all transactions processed and settled during that calendar month, net of all applicable deductions.
Payment is made to the bank account registered by the Service Provider during onboarding or as subsequently updated in writing. The Service Provider is solely responsible for ensuring their banking details are accurate and current.

8.7 Chargeback and Refund Recovery
Where a User successfully initiates a chargeback or is granted a refund in connection with a transaction attributable to the Service Provider's Program or conduct, Tamreen reserves the right to recover from the Service Provider the net amount previously remitted in respect of that transaction, including any chargeback processing fees imposed on Tamreen by the payment processor. Recovery may be made by deduction from future earnings remittances.
8.8 Changes to Commission, Fees, and Payment Terms
Tamreen may adjust the Commission rate, Minimum Commission, Platform Fee, or payment schedule by providing the Service Provider with 30 calendar days' written notice. Notice will be provided by email to the Service Provider's registered address and through the Platform. Continued use of the Platform after the notice period expires constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If the Service Provider does not accept the updated terms, they may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.2 before the changes take effect.
8.9 Tax Responsibility
The Service Provider is solely responsible for all tax reporting, VAT obligations (if applicable), social insurance contributions, and any other statutory financial obligations arising from their earnings through the Platform. Tamreen does not withhold income tax from Service Provider payments unless required to do so by applicable Kuwait law.

20. METHOD OF EXECUTION — DIGITAL ONLY
20.1 This Agreement is executed entirely through the Tamreen Platform's digital onboarding process. No physical signature, handwritten signature, wet-ink execution, or printed document is required from either party.
20.2 Execution by the Service Provider occurs when the Service Provider completes the designated in-platform acceptance flow during onboarding, which includes:
(a) reviewing this Agreement in full within the Platform interface;
(b) checking the designated acceptance checkbox or tapping the acceptance button confirming agreement to all terms; and
(c) completing any additional verification steps required by Tamreen as part of the onboarding process.
20.3 This digital acceptance constitutes a valid, legally binding execution of this Agreement with the same legal effect as a handwritten signature, in accordance with the Kuwait Electronic Transactions Law (Law No. 20 of 2014).
20.4 Upon execution, the Platform automatically generates a Consent Record for the Service Provider capturing:
(a) the Service Provider's account identifier and Civil ID (as registered);
(b) the date and time of execution (timestamp);
(c) the version number and effective date of the Agreement accepted;
(d) the mechanism of acceptance (in-platform onboarding flow);
(e) device type, operating system, and application version;
(f) session metadata; and
(g) IP address, where technically available.
This Consent Record constitutes evidence of the Service Provider's agreement to these terms and is retained by Tamreen for the duration of the Agreement and for a period of 7 years thereafter.
20.5 Tamreen's execution of this Agreement occurs through the authorised approval action taken by Tamreen during the onboarding process, logged digitally within the Platform.
