What Penalties Can the Influencer Face If They Fail to Deliver the Content as Agreed?
The short version: you get your money back automatically, and the creator carries the consequences on their record. You do not have to chase anything.
What happens automatically
The delivery date
The creator should post and submit the link
2 days after
With nothing delivered the deal expires and shows Failed
3 days after that
Your money is refunded to your Ainfluencer wallet
You do not need to open a ticket for this. The refund happens on its own.
What the creator faces
They are not paid. The escrow returns to you rather than to them.
You can leave a review once the deal has failed, and reviews appear on their public profile after our team checks them.
It affects their standing on the platform, which feeds into how they appear to other brands.
Repeated failures can lead to suspension, which is a decision made by the Ainfluencer team after reviewing the account.
Important
Suspension is not automatic and there is no compensation mechanism. A creator cannot be made to pay you for a missed deadline. The protection you have is that your money never left escrow in the first place.
Before you write it off
Message them. Most silences are a busy week, not a disappearance.
Check the date was realistic. A two day turnaround is often the cause.
Offer a later date. They can still deliver while the deal is paid, see extending the deadline.
Act before the refund. Once the money is back with you, saving the deal means paying again.
Why this helps you
This is the practical case for escrow. On a direct arrangement, a creator who takes your money and vanishes is a loss and an argument. Here it is a timer that returns your money without you having to ask anyone for it.
