Current models

141 vetting criteria and 1% acceptance are Mayple claims

Mayple's current platform pages market 141 vetting criteria and a provider-reported 1% acceptance rate. They also describe interviews, performance/account review and AI-assisted matching.

Those are useful descriptions of Mayple's process, but they are not independent proof that every admitted expert is safer, better, guaranteed to match, guaranteed to win projects or guaranteed to produce results. They do not create AlreadyChecked badge authority.

Marketer Fee and Business Services Fee are not the same thing

Mayple's current Terms distinguish a Marketer Fee—the compensation agreed between the Marketer and Business through the Solution or otherwise with Mayple—from a separate Services Fee that Mayple charges the Business.

The public Terms do not establish one universal freelancer commission percentage, and they do not prove that the Business-facing Services Fee is universally deducted from the Marketer Fee. A client project budget or media budget should not be read as marketer take-home.

The 30-business-day payment clock is conditional

Current Terms say Mayple remits Marketer Fees within 30 business days following receipt of the applicable payment from the Business.

That condition matters. Mayple also says it will not remit and is not responsible for payment or delay until it has received the applicable Business payment. So client payment to Mayple and Mayple remittance to the Marketer are separate events.

This is not an unconditional 30-business-day payment guarantee. Unsuccessful or unreceived client payment can prevent or delay remittance, and banking, tax or currency effects should not be assumed away.

A proposal or estimated KPI is not a won project

Mayple's Terms allow Marketer proposals to include estimated KPI values. The Business decides at its sole discretion whether to accept a proposal, and proposal terms are not binding until acceptance is recorded through the Solution.

A match, proposal, vetting approval or KPI estimate therefore does not guarantee a project, campaign result or earnings.

The three-month “Trial Period” is a paid Business term

Mayple's current Business-side Terms describe an initial three (3) months as a “Trial Period,” while still requiring the Business to pay applicable fees. They also contain 30-day project-cancellation notice, subscription-extension language and project-pause rules.

That is not a free trial for the Marketer, and those client-side terms do not guarantee a minimum project duration or minimum income for the expert.

One-year non-circumvention applies—but the current damages amount is inconsistent

Current Terms impose a one year non-circumvention restriction around applicable introduced Business/Marketer relationships and specify remedies/liquidated damages for prohibited off-platform relationships.

However, the current public liquidated-damages amount wording is internally inconsistent: one summary references $15,000, while the legal sentence combines written “fifty thousand USD” with numeric “15,000 US$.” We therefore do not publish one settled dollar amount from that text.

The reliable boundary is the relationship restriction itself: do not assume introduced Mayple relationships can simply be moved off-platform without contractual consequences.

Performance data and case studies still have boundaries

Mayple's vetting and Terms surfaces describe access to advertising/performance data and certain case-study uses. That does not mean confidential client information is freely reusable. Account-access, confidentiality and consent restrictions remain relevant.

Important limitations

• Neither service guarantees clients, projects, campaign outcomes or earnings.

• Mayple's 30-business-day remittance period starts only after receipt of the applicable Business payment.
• Client nonpayment or unsuccessful payment can prevent or delay Marketer remittance.
• Proposal/KPI estimates do not guarantee Business acceptance or achieved results.
• The three-month Business Trial Period is paid and does not guarantee Marketer project duration or income.
• A one-year non-circumvention restriction applies.
• The current public liquidated-damages amount wording is internally inconsistent, so no one amount is treated as settled.
• Confidentiality, account-access and case-study consent limits remain relevant.
