Brands - What if i am not satisfied?
Does the delivered content not meet your expectations? Then you have several options. You decide how you want to proceed.
In short
- After delivery, you have 72 hours to accept, request a revision or decline.
- Almost right? Request a revision and the creator will adjust the content.
- Clearly not as agreed? Decline the delivery and get your money back, excluding the service fee.
How do you request a revision?
Is the content almost right, but would you like something changed? Then request a revision.
- Go to Orders and open the order.
- Go to the Delivery tab.
- Click Request revision.
- Clearly describe what needs to change (at least 10 characters) and click Confirm.
The creator receives an email about this and the order goes back to the status Active. The creator adjusts the content and delivers again. After that, you have another 72 hours to respond.
Good to know: the number of revisions included in your order is stated in the package you purchased.
When do you decline the delivery?
Does the content clearly not meet the agreements and do you not want to continue with this order? Then you can decline the delivery.
- In the Delivery tab, click Decline.
- Choose a reason, for example Quality below expectations or Deviates from script/briefing, and add a short explanation.
- Click Cancel order to confirm.
After declining:
- the order gets the status Cancelled and the order stops;
- the content stays watermarked and cannot be downloaded;
- you get the amount paid back via the same payment method, excluding the service fee, within 14 business days;
- a credit note is created for you automatically.
Please note: declining is meant for situations where the content clearly does not meet the agreements. Is the content almost right? Then it's better to request a revision. Not sure? Send the creator a message in the Activity tab first.
What happens if you do nothing?
If you don't respond within 72 hours of delivery, the order is accepted automatically. In the Delivery tab you can see how much time you have left. So check in good time whether the content meets your expectations.
Can you also cancel an order?
Has nothing been delivered yet? Then you can cancel the order if the deadline has passed or if the creator has not yet confirmed receipt of your product. Read more in Can I cancel an order?
Want something changed after 72 hours?
Once the 72 hours have passed, the order is accepted automatically. You can then no longer request a revision through the order, and we can't undo the acceptance. A small change is often still possible: ask the creator in the chat for an additional delivery.
Good to know: the number of revisions in a package differs per creator. Is this important to you? Then agree on it in the chat beforehand.

Brands - Do I also receive interim results?

This way you stay involved throughout the order.
Why do interim files have a watermark?
Files you receive via the chat automatically get a watermark. This allows the creator to share provisional content safely before the order is completed.
How do you receive the final content?
Happy with the interim results? Then ask the creator for the official delivery via the Delivery tab. There you can:
- view the delivered files;
- accept the order, request a revision or decline it within 72 hours;

- After accepting, you download the files without a watermark.
Where can you find the delivered content?

What do you see in the Delivery tab?
- The delivered videos.
- Product photos and raw content, if they are included in your package.
- How much time you have left to respond.
Check whether the content matches the agreements and your briefing. The previews have a watermark and are just a taste: you only get the real, crystal-clear quality after downloading.
What can you do after delivery?
After delivery, you have 72 hours to choose one of these actions:
- Accept: you approve the order.
- Request revision: the creator adjusts the content and delivers again.
- Decline: the order stops and you get your money back, excluding the service fee.
If you do nothing within 72 hours, the order is accepted automatically. Read more about revisions and declining in What if I am not satisfied?
How do you download the files?
As soon as you accept the order, it gets the status Completed. After that:
- you download each file without a watermark;
- with three or more files, you download everything at once with Download all;
- you can write a review about working with the creator.
Once you have accepted, the creator is paid as well.
Good to know: interim files in the Activity tab always have a watermark. Only delivered content that you have accepted can be downloaded without a watermark. Read more in Do I also receive interim results?
Accepted the wrong version or need something else?
We can't undo an accepted order. Did you accidentally accept the wrong version, or is a video missing? Then ask the creator in the chat for an additional delivery.
Have the 72 hours passed? Then the order has been accepted automatically and you can no longer request a revision through the order. In practice, creators often still deliver small changes via the chat. Discuss it with the creator.

Tip: add your colleagues to your business account so you can work together. Find out how in How do I add team members?
How do you share a portfolio with a client?
With Share with client you create a personal link that you share directly with your client. That page shows no prices and no UGC.NL branding. Your client does not need an account to open the link.
- Click the share icon and choose Share with client.
- Creating a client link for the first time? Enter your Business name and click Continue. This name will appear in your link.
- Enter a Project name, for example "Summer campaign", and click Create.
- Your link is ready. Click Copy link to share it, or View preview to see what your client will see.
Example: your link will look roughly like this: yourcompany.ugcportfolio.nl/projectname
How do you add your own logo to the client page?
Go to Settings › Profile and upload your logo under Company logo. This logo appears at the top of the page your client sees. If you haven't set a logo, we'll use your profile picture.

Brands - What is a creator's portfolio?
A creator's portfolio is the profile you see when you open a creator via Find Creators. It shows you at a glance whether a creator fits your brand and assignment.
In short
- You can watch videos and view photos of the creator's previous work.
- You can see how the creator performs: completed orders, on-time delivery and response time.
- You'll find the creator's packages, extra details and reviews.
Which videos and photos do you see?
At the top of the profile, About me gives a short introduction to the creator. Below that, under Portfolio, you'll find:
- A highlight video that gives a first impression of the creator.
- Up to 3 portfolio videos with examples of previous work.
- Possibly photos of content the creator has made for brands.
How does the creator perform?
Under Performance you can see how reliable the creator is:
- Completed orders: the total number of successfully completed assignments.
- Delivered on time: the percentage of assignments delivered before the deadline.
- Response time: how quickly the creator replies to messages from brands.
Have you connected your Meta account? Then you'll also see the creator's ROAS, CTR and hook rate here. Read more in Ad Performance.
Which extra information do you see?
Besides the videos and performance, you'll see, among other things:
- The languages the creator can make content in.
- The selected niches.
- Any physical characteristics, such as hair type or body type.

Brands - When does the deadline start?
When the deadline of an assignment starts depends on the product type you choose when ordering: Physical or Digital.
In short
- Physical product: the deadline starts as soon as the creator has confirmed receipt of the product.
- Digital product: the deadline starts immediately after you've placed and paid for the order.
- The deadline is the start date plus the delivery time of the chosen package.
When does the deadline start for a physical product?
For a physical product, such as make-up or clothing, the deadline only starts once the creator has confirmed that the product has arrived. This is how it works:
- After payment, you'll see the creator's address in the Details tab of the order.
- You send the product and preferably enter a Track & Trace code under Details.
- Has the product arrived? Then the creator clicks Confirm in the order.
- In the Activity tab you'll see that the creator has confirmed receipt. From that moment, the delivery time starts.
Read how to find the creator's address in How do I receive the creator’s address?
Please note: as long as the creator hasn't confirmed receipt, the deadline isn't running yet. During that time you can still cancel the order. Read more in Can I cancel an order?
When does the deadline start for a digital product?
For a digital product, such as an app or online course, the deadline starts immediately after you've placed and paid for the order. Nothing needs to be shipped, so the creator can get started right away.
Do give the creator access to your service as soon as possible. For example, add the login details to your briefing or send them via the Activity chat. Read more in How do I provide assignment information?
How is the deadline calculated?
The deadline is the start date plus the delivery time of the chosen package. Does the package have a delivery time of 3-5 days? Then the creator has to deliver within 5 days of the start. You can always see the current deadline in the order and in your overview under Orders.
Good to know: the creator can request a new deadline once per order. You'll then see a message in the order and choose Accept or Reject yourself. If you reject it, the original deadline stays in place.

Brands - What do the order statuses mean?
In Orders you'll find all your assignments in one place. Every order has a status, so you can see straight away how far along an assignment is.
In short
- There are five statuses: Open, Active, Delivered, Completed and Cancelled.
- The status changes automatically. You don't need to do anything yourself.
- After delivery you have 72 hours to review the delivery.
What do you see in Orders?
- All your orders, with the newest at the top.
- For each order, among other things, the order number, amount, date, deadline and status.
- Filters for Status and Creator, so you can quickly find the right order.
Click View to open an order.
What do the statuses mean?
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Open | The order has been created but not yet paid. The assignment hasn't started yet. |
| Active | The order has been paid and the creator is working on the assignment. For a physical product, the deadline only starts once the creator has confirmed receipt. |
| Delivered | The creator has delivered the content. You have 72 hours to accept or reject the delivery, or to request a revision. If you do nothing, the order is accepted automatically. |
| Completed | The delivery has been accepted and the order is finished. You can now download the files without a watermark. |
| Cancelled | The order has been cancelled and won't be carried out any further. Had you already paid? Then you'll get the amount back within 14 business days, excluding the service fee. You'll automatically receive a credit note. |
Which extra notices can you see?
Sometimes an order shows an extra icon with an explanation:
- The deadline has passed. The order simply stays Active; there's no separate status for a missed deadline. You can, however, cancel the order. Read more in Can I cancel an order?
- Deadline change requested: the creator wants to change the deadline. Open the order to accept or reject it.
- 1x revision (or more): you've asked the creator for a revision.
