Creator Agreement

This is the agreement between you — the person or business running a club — and Sendero Origen, LLC d/b/a Good Post Co, an Oklahoma limited liability company, at 3126 S Boulevard St #154, Edmond, OK 73013. In these terms, "we" and "us" mean Good Post Co, and "you" means the creator.

It starts when you accept it in your studio, by ticking the box and pressing "Accept the agreement". We keep a record of which version you accepted and when. It runs until one of us ends it.

You can accept it for yourself, or for a business you have the authority to bind. Either way, you must be 18 or older and a US person: a US citizen or resident, or a business formed in the US, paid into a US bank account. That is who we can pay, so it is who can run a club with us.

It is written to be read. If a sentence in it does not match how the product actually behaves, tell us at support@goodpostco.com and we will fix one or the other.

What each of us does

We handle the business. Good Post Co is the seller of record for every membership sold through us. That means the subscriber buys from us, not from you: we take the payment, work out and collect sales tax, send the receipt, handle refunds and card disputes, keep the auto-renewal rules, and pay you for the mail.

You make the mail. You write it, make it, pack it, address it and post it, on the schedule your club promises. You decide what is in the envelope, within the Acceptable Use rules.

We are two independent businesses. We buy each mailing from you and sell it to subscribers as our own product, in our own name, at the prices set for your club. We are not your agent and we do not collect money on your behalf. A subscriber owes nothing to you. What we owe you is the supply price below, and nothing else.

This is not employment, not a partnership, and not a joint venture, and neither of us can sign anything on the other's behalf.

Your club, your plans, your prices

You choose what your club sends, how often, what it costs, the day of the month you post, and the cutoff day after which a new subscriber waits for the following mailing. We set those up on your club's record, show them to subscribers before they buy, and sell at those prices.

Prices are never edited in place once somebody is paying one. Changing a price creates a new plan; people already subscribed stay on the price they agreed to until they are moved, and nobody is moved without notice by email exactly 30 days before the new price first applies. That is a promise we made to your subscribers in the Terms of Sale, and it binds us both.

What we pay you, and what we keep

For each mailing, we pay you 90% of the price we charge the subscriber for it, not counting sales tax. That is the supply price. The other 10% is our margin. No monthly charge, no setup charge.

Put plainly: you keep 90%, and we keep 10%, all-in.

Once your club's sales pass $5,000 in a calendar month, the supply price rises to 93% on sales after that point, and our margin drops to 7%. The count starts again at the beginning of each month.

That is all-in: we pay the card-processing fees out of our margin, not out of the supply price. Apart from the one cost below, there is nothing else.

One thing is passed through at what it costs us, never marked up: card dispute fees. When a subscriber disputes a charge with their bank, Stripe charges us a fee for the dispute, win or lose, and a second fee if we challenge it, which it returns only if we win. Those fees on your club's payments come off what we pay you, the same way as the disputed amount (see "Refunds, disputes, and money coming back" below). If Stripe returns a fee, we return it to you. If a dispute was caused by our mistake, such as a double charge, the fee is ours.

The supply price for your club is recorded on your club's account. If we ever change it, we give you at least 30 days' notice by email, and the new rate only applies to money taken after it starts. A rate change never reaches back.

How you get paid

You open a Stripe Express account through a link we give you. Stripe collects your identity, your tax id and your bank details directly. We never see or store any of it — what we hold is the account id Stripe gives us, and nothing else.

You earn the supply price by mailing.

• Monthly memberships are earned by the mailing they pay for, when that mailing is sent. A monthly payment pays for the first mailing whose last day to join comes after the payment; a payment taken after that day pays for the next month's.
• Yearly, prepaid and gift memberships are earned in equal parts, one for each mailing the payment covers, as each mailing is sent. A year of twelve mailings earns one twelfth with each mailing, and the last twelfth with the twelfth.

A mailing counts as sent when you record it as sent in the studio for at least 90% of the subscribers on its ready list.

When a subscriber pays, Stripe may show the supply price in your Stripe balance straight away, before you have earned it. Until it is earned, that amount is not owed to you, it is not paid out, and we may reverse it. It is not held in escrow or in trust, and we pay no interest on amounts not yet earned.

Your Stripe account is set to manual payouts, and it stays that way. Stripe does not pay out on a schedule of its own. We run payouts every week, and each one pays out to your bank everything you have earned and have not already been paid, less anything described under "Refunds, disputes, and money coming back". Because you earn by mailing, in practice you are paid once a month: in the first payout after each mailing counts as sent. We never hold any amount longer than Stripe allows, which is two years in the US. There is no invoice for you to send and no monthly reconciliation for you to chase.

A new club's first payout waits for its first mailing. Nothing you have earned is lost while you wait, and it is paid out once the first mailing is recorded as sent. This is the one protection subscribers have against paying a club that never mails anything, and it applies to everybody's first mailing, including people we know well.

A new club can take up to $2,500 in sales before its first mailing. By sales we mean what subscribers paid, not counting sales tax, less anything refunded, and it includes gifts and plans paid up front. Until your first mailing is recorded as sent to at least 90% of its list, we do not sell a plan that would take your club past $2,500. Every other plan stays on sale, and once no plan fits, your club page says it is full for now. The limit ends by itself when your first mailing counts as sent. We may lift it earlier for a club we know, and we tell you in writing if we do.

We may also hold a payout if:

• a mailing subscribers have paid for has not gone out;
• card disputes or refunds on your club are running unusually high;
• we suspect fraud, or something on the Acceptable Use list has been mailed; or
• the law requires us to.

If we hold a payout we tell you why, in writing, in the studio and by email, and we release it as soon as the reason is gone.

You can see the money any time in the studio: what subscribers paid, refunds, what we kept, and what was paid out to you, with Stripe's own payout references so you can match it to your bank statement.

Your bank account

You agree to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which Stripe also shows you when you set up your account. If your Stripe balance goes below zero, Stripe may take the difference from the bank account linked to it, under that agreement. That setting is on for every account. We do not take money from your bank ourselves.

If a club falls behind

A mailing is overdue when it has not been sent by its ship day. A club is in default when any mailing is more than 7 days overdue. Telling us why does not stop the clock, but we can agree with you in writing to move a ship day before it passes.

We warn you before a club is in default. We email every owner of the club two days before a ship day if that mailing is not yet recorded as sent. If the ship day passes and the mailing is still not recorded, we email every owner the next day with the date it must be recorded by, and what happens if it is not. We email every owner again two days before that date. These emails go to the addresses your club's owners sign in with, so keep them up to date. A warning that does not reach you does not move the date, but we do not start the default refunds for a mailing until at least a day after we have sent the last of these warnings about it. This does not change a subscriber's own right to cancel for a refund when their first letter is late, which the law gives them whatever we have told you.

While a club is in default:

• we stop paying out for that club;
• we pause new sign-ups;
• we refund subscribers for the mailings they paid for and did not get, as the Terms of Sale and the law require; and
• we recover those refunds from you.

A refund is recovered first from what that subscriber paid that you have not yet earned, then from anything else we owe you, then from your Stripe balance. If that is not enough, the rest is a debt you owe us, due within 14 days of our invoice. This does not shorten the time either of us has to bring a claim.

A default only ever pays for real refunds. Everything left over after them is paid out to you: what you earned before the default, and what you earn by mailing afterwards. We never keep money as a penalty.

The default ends when every overdue mailing has been sent or refunded, whichever comes first. A mailing counts as sent when it is recorded for at least 90% of its list, even if that is after the club went into default. When the default ends, payouts start again and new sign-ups reopen on their own, and we tell you by email. Refunds already made to subscribers stand: a mailing sent after its subscribers were refunded is not charged to them again, and those refunds are not given back to you.

More than one club

If you run more than one club with us, and their Stripe accounts belong to the same legal person, what one of those clubs owes us may be taken from what we owe for another. We never take one person's money to pay somebody else's debt: clubs whose Stripe accounts belong to different people or businesses are kept apart.

Refunds, disputes, and money coming back

We decide refunds, because we are the seller and it is our name on the statement. We follow the published Cancellation & Refund Policy — it is short, and you should read it, because it is also a description of what can come out of what we pay you.

When a refund or a dispute goes against a payment on your club:

• we take back the supply price for that payment, along with any dispute fee, first from what you have not yet earned on it and then from the rest of your Stripe balance;
• we give up our margin on it too, because we do not keep a cut of a sale that did not happen; and
• if your balance is short, it comes out of your next payout.

While a dispute is open, the bank holds the money. If we win, it comes back, and the supply price for it is paid to you as it is earned.

If there is no next payout to take it from, the amount is a debt you owe us. We will tell you the amount and why, and it is payable within 14 days.

If a subscriber disputes a charge, we answer it with what the system holds: the receipt, the consent recorded at checkout, the address we shipped to and the date you marked it sent. Marking mailings sent promptly is the single most useful thing you can do to win those.

Money we cannot pay you

If we owe you money and cannot pay it — your Stripe account has closed, or we cannot reach you — we will write to you at the email address and the postal address we have. If we still cannot pay you, we handle the money as the unclaimed-property law that applies to it requires, which usually means sending it to the state for you to claim there.

Tax

Sales tax is ours. We work it out, collect it and send it on, because we are the seller. You do not register for sales tax, collect it, or file it for memberships sold through us.

Income tax is yours. You are an independent business. We do not withhold anything, and nothing here makes you an employee or entitles you to anything an employee gets.

Your tax form. Because of the way the platform is set up, Stripe does not issue you a 1099-K for what we pay you, and neither do we: a 1099-K reports sales settled for a seller, and we are the seller. Any reporting is ours, and we take it. We file the information return the IRS requires for what we pay you in a calendar year, if any. That is either a Form 1099-NEC, once what we paid out to you in the year reaches the IRS threshold ($2,000 for payments made in 2026), or no form at all, depending on how the IRS treats what you supply to us. We will tell you which before the first January. Any form reaches you through your Stripe Express dashboard by 31 January. Either way, the money is income and you owe tax on it.

Stripe collects your legal name and tax id during onboarding. Those are the details a Form W-9 asks for, and we collect them from every creator whether or not a form is filed.

We are not your accountant and this is not tax advice. Keep your legal name, address and tax id current in Stripe, because that is what the form is made from, and a form made from stale details is a problem that takes months to untangle.

What you promise about the mail

• Send what you said you would send, when you said you would send it. The description on your club's page, the ship day and the cutoff day are a promise made to people who have already paid.
• Tell us early if you cannot. Illness, a move, a bad month — it happens. Tell us before the cutoff and we will pause the club, skip a month without charging anyone, or refund. What we cannot fix is silence.
• Send replacements. If a subscriber says a mailing never arrived, send one more, free. One per mailing is the standard, and your club's record can allow more. We do not charge you for a replacement.
• Mark mailings sent. It is what earns the supply price, what answers a dispute, and, if you have turned it on, what tells a subscriber their envelope is on its way.
• Never put a subscriber's address anywhere it does not belong. You get the list to mail from. That is what it is for.

If you do not mail what subscribers paid for, we refund them — that is the promise the Terms of Sale make to them — and we recover the refund from you, as described in "If a club falls behind" above: from what you have not yet earned, from what we owe you, from your Stripe balance, or by invoice payable within 14 days.

What goes in the envelope

What you send is yours to choose, as long as it obeys the Acceptable Use rules, which are part of this agreement and which cover what may not be mailed, who may not be sold to, and how we take something down.

You promise that everything you mail and everything on your club's page is yours to use — your own work, or work you have permission to use. If somebody tells us your club is infringing their rights, we will pass it to you and may take the content down while it is sorted out.

You keep ownership of all of it. You give us permission to use your club's name, logo, images and words to do the job: run your club's page, take payments, send receipts and emails, answer support, and show your club where we list clubs. That permission is non-exclusive, costs nothing, and ends when this agreement ends — except for copies inside records we have to keep, like a receipt or an email we already sent.

Your subscriber list

The list is yours. Your subscribers' names, addresses, email addresses, what they bought and what has been mailed to them: you can export the lot, with addresses, in one click, at any time. That includes while a club is suspended, while you owe us money, and on the day you leave. We will never hold your list hostage, in any circumstance, for any reason.

In return, you use it only to run your club:

• mail to it, and contact subscribers about their membership;
• do not sell it, rent it, or give it to anybody else;
• do not add people to another mailing list, another platform or a marketing list without asking them first;
• keep it somewhere safe, and delete a copy you no longer need.

How we handle that data on your behalf, what we do with it, who else touches it, and what happens when it is deleted are in the Data Processing Addendum, which is part of this agreement.

We delete a subscriber's address from our systems 90 days after their membership ends. A copy you exported is yours to look after and yours to delete.

We contact your subscribers about their memberships, because we are the seller: receipts, renewal notices, failed payments, address confirmations. We do not market other clubs to your subscribers.

Our address on your envelopes

You may use our mailing address as the return address on your club's mail, so your home address never appears on an envelope. The rules for that — what we do with returned mail, what we will not accept, and what happens to anything else that arrives — are in the Return-Address Terms at the bottom of this page. They are part of this agreement.

Suspending a club

We may suspend a club immediately if:

• a mailing subscribers paid for has not gone out and you have not told us why;
• something on the Acceptable Use list has been mailed or published;
• we have good reason to suspect fraud, or a card network or Stripe requires it;
• disputes on your club are high enough to put our own payment processing at risk; or
• you owe us money that is past due.

While a club is suspended: existing subscribers stop being billed, new subscribers cannot join, and nothing is mailed. You can still sign in, still see everything, and still export your list.

We will tell you why, in writing. If it is fixable, fixing it lifts the suspension.

Ending this agreement

You can leave at any time, with 30 days' notice by email to support@goodpostco.com. We close the club to new subscribers straight away. Your existing subscribers either get what they have already paid for — which means you mail it — or get refunded, and the refund comes out of what we owe you.

We can end it with 30 days' notice, for any reason or none. Same arrangement: subscribers get what they paid for or get their money back.

Either of us can end it immediately if the other breaks this agreement seriously and does not fix it within 14 days of being told, or becomes insolvent.

When it ends:

• we stop selling your club and stop billing its subscribers;
• we refund subscribers for anything paid and not mailed, and recover it from you;
• we pay you everything you have earned, less refunds and anything you owe us, in our regular payouts, including what you earn by mailing what subscribers had already paid for;
• you can export your full list — this does not expire, and we will tell you before we delete anything; and
• your subscribers get an email from us saying the club has ended, in plain words.

The parts of this agreement that are meant to outlast it do: money owed, refunds and recovery, the tax form for the year, the indemnity, the liability limits, confidentiality, and the law and venue clauses.

Keeping each other's business private

Each of us will see things about the other that are not public — numbers, plans, subscriber counts. Neither of us passes those on, except to people who need them to do their job, or where the law requires it. This does not stop either of us using ordinary knowledge and skill learned along the way.

You cover us for what you send

If somebody brings a claim against us because of something you mailed, something you published on your club's page, something you did with your subscriber list, taxes you owed, or a promise in this agreement that you did not keep, you cover us: the claim, the damages, and what it reasonably costs us in legal fees to deal with it.

We will tell you about the claim promptly, let you take the lead in dealing with it if you want to, and not settle it without asking you.

Limits on what either of us owes the other

To the extent the law allows:

• Our total liability to you, for everything connected with this agreement, is limited to the margin we kept on your club's sales in the twelve months before the claim.
• Neither of us is liable to the other for lost profits, lost business, or other indirect or consequential losses.
• None of this limits what you owe under the section above, what either of us owes for fraud, the supply price you have earned, or anything else that cannot be limited by law.

The platform is provided as it is. We work hard to keep it up and correct, and we do not promise it will never be down or never be wrong. What we promise is to fix what breaks and to be straight with you about it.

Changing this agreement

We may change this agreement with at least 30 days' notice by email to the address on your account, and we show you the new version in the studio.

A change about money — the supply price, when it is earned, when it is paid, or what can be taken back — only applies to you once you accept it in the studio, the same way you accepted this one. Until you do, the version you accepted still applies to you, and either of us can end this agreement with 30 days' notice as usual. A change about money never applies to money already taken.

Any other change takes effect 30 days after our email. Carrying on running your club after that means you accept it. If you do not, you can end this agreement before then with no penalty, and we will handle your subscribers as described above.

The rest of it

This agreement, the Acceptable Use rules, the Return-Address Terms and the Data Processing Addendum are the whole agreement between us about running your club, and replace anything discussed before it.

If a court decides one part cannot be enforced, the rest still stands.

We may transfer this agreement to another company if Good Post Co is sold or reorganised. You cannot transfer it without asking us first — a club is personal, and subscribers signed up for the person making the mail.

Notices to you go to the email address on your account. Notices to us go to support@goodpostco.com or by post to Sendero Origen, LLC d/b/a Good Post Co, 3126 S Boulevard St #154, Edmond, OK 73013.

This agreement is governed by the law of the State of Oklahoma, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and anything that has to go to court goes to the state or federal courts sitting in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma.

Running a mail club from home means putting an address on the back of every envelope. It does not have to be yours. These terms cover using ours instead, and what changes if you would rather use your own. They are part of the Creator Agreement above.

The address, and how to print it

Print it exactly like this, with your club's name on the second line:

• Good Post Co
• Attn: Your Club's Name
• 3126 S Boulevard St #154, Edmond, OK 73013

The "Attn:" line is what routes returned mail back to your club, so leaving it off means a returned envelope arrives at a mailbox with no way of telling whose club it came from. Your envelope sheet in the studio prints it for you.

Your name does not appear, and neither does your home address. That is the entire point of the arrangement.

Your club's own name may appear on the envelope as part of your design. What may not appear is any suggestion that Good Post Co wrote, made or endorses what is inside — we handle the business, and the mail is yours.

Using your own address instead

You do not have to take this offer. If you would rather print your own return address, tell us and we will set your club to do that — and then everything below changes hands:

• Returned mail comes back to you, not to us. We never see it, so we cannot log it, forward it, or tell you about it.
• The forwarding, the holding period and the refusal rights below are ours to perform and do not apply, because nothing arrives here.
• Whatever you print is what goes on the envelope, exactly as you give it to us. We do not check it, correct it, or reformat it. An address with a missing unit number is a letter that does not come back.
• Your own name and address are on the back of every envelope you send, which is the thing this offer exists to avoid. That is your decision to make.

You can switch either way at any time by asking us. A change applies to mail printed after it, never to envelopes already posted.

While your club is set to print its own address and we have not been given one, we will not print envelopes at all. We will not quietly put Good Post Co on the back instead — a letter that came back to us with your club's name nowhere on it is a letter nobody can return to you.

What we do with mail that comes back

Undelivered club mail comes back to us, because we are the return address. We:

• record it against the subscriber it was sent to, so you can see it in the studio;
• email the subscriber to ask them to check their address; and
• leave the membership alone. The post office does not get to cancel somebody's subscription, and neither do we on its say-so.

We do not open returned club mail. We hold the physical pieces for 30 days in case you want them, and then dispose of them securely.

If you want returned pieces sent on to you, say so and we will bundle them up and post them at what it costs us to do it. We will tell you the price before we post anything, and nothing goes out until you say yes.

There is no charge for logging returned mail or emailing the subscriber. That is part of our margin.

Fan mail, and anything else addressed to you

Forwarding is off by default, and it is not offered at launch. Do not invite subscribers to write back to you at our address, and do not print "write to us at" anywhere on your mail, until we have turned it on for your club and told you what it costs.

If something addressed to you or your club arrives anyway, we hold it for 30 days and then dispose of it securely. We will tell you it came.

When we do turn forwarding on, we will tell you the per-item price in writing first, and nothing will be forwarded until you have agreed to it.

What we will not accept

This is a mailbox, not a warehouse and not an office. We will refuse:

• parcels, supplies, stock, printer deliveries and anything else you have ordered;
• anything needing a signature;
• anything sent by courier rather than by the postal service;
• cash, cheques, gift cards or anything else of value;
• goods being returned by a subscriber; and
• legal papers, service of process, or anything meant for a registered agent.

This is not your registered agent address and not your business address. Do not use it on a state filing, a tax return, a bank account, a marketplace listing or anything else that is about your business rather than about your club's mail. Anything that arrives in one of those categories will be refused or returned to sender, and repeatedly sending things here is a reason for us to withdraw the address.

Ending the arrangement

We can withdraw the use of our address with 30 days' notice, and immediately if it is being used in a way these terms do not allow. If that happens, the next mailing you send must carry a different return address.

When your club ends, so does this. We will handle returned mail for 60 days after your last mailing, so anything already in the post has somewhere to come back to, and after that we stop accepting mail for your club's code.

If you have any doubt about whether something belongs here, ask first: support@goodpostco.com.
