Drop Station Inc. d/b/a Station (“Drop Station,” “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. Station is a creator platform that combines community, loyalty, and monetization tools. With Station, creators can host discussions, chat, events, run sweepstakes and rewards programs, sell memberships and digital products, earn sponsorship revenue, and use AI-assisted tools to distribute content and analytics — all under their own brand.
1. Introduction
Welcome to Station, owned and operated by Drop Station Inc. (“Drop Station,” “we,” “us”, or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Drop Station website(s) available at www.station.page, our APIs, mobile app (the “Site”), embeddable apps, and any other software, tools, features, or functionalities provided on or in connection with our services; including without limitation using our services to view, explore, and create loyalty programs and a designated community area. “Loyalty Programs” means eligible participants, may earn non-monetary Rewards, which can be redeemed for engagement and certain actions.
In addition, the Service enables creators to offer monetization features including paid memberships, digital products, and sponsorship placements, as well as related storefront and AI-assisted drafting/distribution tools. Station acts solely as a technology platform and is not a party to agreements or transactions between creators, members, or sponsors, and makes no guarantee of sponsorship availability or payment. All creator payouts are facilitated via Stripe Connect as described in Section 6, and Station does not hold funds on behalf of creators.
Certain features of the Service may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules (“Supplemental Terms”), which will be displayed in connection with such features. All such Supplemental Terms are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. If this Agreement is inconsistent with any Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms shall control solely with respect to such services.
For purposes of these Terms, “user”, “you”, and “your” means you as the user of the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other entity then “you” includes you and that entity, and you represent and warrant that (a) you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, and (b) you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf. Use of sponsorship/advertising tools may require acceptance of the Station Creator Sponsorship Agreement (the “Sponsorship Terms”), which are Supplemental Terms.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. AS OUTLINED IN SECTION 21 BELOW, THEY INCLUDE A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER WHICH (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS) REQUIRE ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN US TO BE RESOLVED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN BY A JUDGE OR JURY IN COURT. BY CLICKING TO ACCEPT AND/OR USING OUR SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND ALL OF THE TERMS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SECTION 5 OF THIS AGREEMENT, BELOW, CONTAINS YOUR OPT-IN CONSENT TO RECEIVE COMMUNICATIONS FROM US.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SECTION 7 OF THIS AGREEMENT, BELOW, CONTAINS YOUR OPT-IN CONSENT TO RECEIVE COMMUNICATIONS FROM US.
By submitting data through the Service, you expressly consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal data in accordance with this Agreement and any then-current Privacy Policy made available by us. When you interact with communities or services provided by brands (e.g., contests, campaigns, promo code landing pages), Drop Station may process your personal data on behalf of these brands as a data processor under a separate Standard Data Processing Agreement for Brands (‘Brand DPA’). For podcasters, Drop Station acts as the Data Controller, with podcasters processing data under the Creator Data Processing Agreement (‘Creator DPA’).
Station shares personal data with brands/sponsors only in connection with sponsorships and related brand campaigns (not for memberships or digital products), and creators remain responsible for obtaining any consents required for their own off-platform use of personal data. Upon termination of a brand’s account, Drop Station will delete or anonymize Personal Data processed on behalf of the brand within 60 days for co-branded campaigns or 30 days for solely branded campaigns, unless required by applicable law, and may continue to retain and process Personal Data for its own platform services as a Data Controller, as disclosed in the Privacy Policy. Drop Station may contact you directly to facilitate prize distribution for contests, as authorized by the brand.
2. Modification
Drop Station reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will use reasonable efforts to provide notice of such changes, such as by providing notice through the Service or updating the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of these Terms. By continuing to access or use the Service, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference effective as of the date these Terms are updated. Material changes may include updates relating to new monetization features, changes to payout processing through Stripe Connect, or updates required for compliance with laws governing sweepstakes, contests, and advertising. It is your sole responsibility to review the Terms from time to time to view such changes and to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Service.

8. Monetization and Sponsorships
9. Pricing; Payment
All pricing and fees will be set forth at point of sale. By using the Service you agree to pay all applicable fees. Drop Station reserves the right to adjust its pricing and fees at any time. We will notify you of the pricing and fees which apply to your Transaction when you authorize the Transaction and in each receipt we issue to you. Our fee may include transaction fees to process a Transaction, which we will calculate in our discretion. We will notify you of the total amount of your purchase at or before the time you authorize the Transaction. You are responsible for paying any additional fees charged by your financial services provider. In the event that we receive a payment in an amount less than the total due for the relevant Transaction, we will reject the order, notify you of the reason for the rejection, and (except where otherwise required to comply with applicable law) return the payment less our processing costs.
When a Transaction is initiated through your Account, we will assume that you authorized such Transaction, unless you notify us otherwise. If you believe you did not authorize a particular Transaction or that a Transaction was incorrectly carried out, you must contact us as soon as possible. While we endeavor to assist with unauthorized or erroneous Transactions, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to reverse or correct any Transaction once it has been initiated. You cannot cancel, reverse or change any Transaction marked as complete or pending.
If your payment is not successful, if your Payment Method has insufficient funds or if you reverse a payment made from funds in your bank account, you authorize Drop Station, in its sole discretion, to either cancel the Transaction or to debit your any of your other Payment Methods in any amount necessary to complete the Transaction on its original terms. You agree to make any such payment upon Drop Station’s request.

All payouts are made solely through Stripe Connect once funds have been received, net of service fees, refunds, chargebacks, taxes, and other applicable deductions. Creators acknowledge and agree that Station has no obligation to remit payment until it has first received payment from Members or Sponsors.
All payments to Creators for Monetization Features are handled exclusively through Stripe Connect. Creators must connect their Stripe account to receive payouts.

Station makes no guarantee of payment in cases of Sponsor default, Member chargebacks, or non-payment. Refunds cannot be issued via the Station interface; any refund requests must be directed to Station directly and may be deducted from a Creator’s future payouts or balance if processed.
You are responsible for maintaining an adequate balance and/or sufficient credit limits in order to avoid overdraft, non-sufficient funds (NSF) or similar fees charged by your financial services provider. We reserve the right to refuse to process or to cancel or reverse any Transaction in our sole discretion, even after funds have been debited from your Payment Method(s), if we suspect the Transaction violates this Agreement. In such instances, Drop Station will reverse the Transaction and we are under no obligation to allow you to reinstate a purchase or sale order at the same price or under the same terms as the canceled Transaction.
Drop Station may use a third-party payment processor to process any payment you make to Drop Station. Drop Station may add or change any payment processing services at any time. Such services may be subject to additional terms or conditions. All creator payouts are further subject to the Station Creator Sponsorship Agreement or the Station Representative Agreement, as applicable.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES IN CONTRACTS WITH CONSUMERS, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
20. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT WILL DROP STATION OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, PRODUCTS OR THIRD-PARTY SITES AND PRODUCTS, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES RELATED TO LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY STRICT LIABILITY OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE AND EVEN IF DROP STATION OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; OR (B) FOR ANY OTHER CLAIM, DEMAND, OR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF THE DELIVERY, USE, OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE. ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, THE SERVICE, PRODUCTS OR THIRD-PARTY SITES, AND PRODUCTS ARE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA RESULTING THEREFROM.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF DROP STATION ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE, CONTENT, PRIZE DRAWS, QUALIFYING PURCHASE, QUALIFYING ACTIVITY AND/OR REWARD, OR ANY DROP STATION PRODUCTS OR SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNT RECEIVED BY DROP STATION FOR ITS SERVICE DIRECTLY RELATING TO THE ITEMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
For clarity, these limitations apply equally to claims relating to sponsorships, monetization features, payouts, loyalty programs, or sweepstakes facilitated through the Service. Drop Station has no liability for unpaid funds where the underlying payment from a Sponsor, Member, or advertiser has not been received, or for disputes arising from contests, campaigns, or promotions created by users through the Service.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions also limit disclaimers or limitations of liability for personal injury from consumer products, so this limitation may not apply to personal injury claims.
21. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration.
For clarity, disputes arising specifically under the Station Creator Sponsorship Agreement or the Station Representative Agreement shall be governed by the arbitration and dispute resolution provisions set forth in those agreements. In the event of any conflict between this Section 21 and the dispute resolution provisions of those agreements, the provisions of the applicable Sponsorship or Representative Agreement shall control.
