Last Modified: February 20, 2026
Acceptance of the Terms of Use
These terms of use are entered into by and between you and Audiopool Inc. ("Company," "we," or "us"). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, "Terms of Use"), govern your access to and use of https://www.audiopool.io/, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through https://www.audiopool.io (the "Platform"), whether as a guest or a registered user.
Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Platform. By using the Platform or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Use when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, found at www.audiopool.io/privacy, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Platform.
This Platform is offered and available only to users who are 18 years of age or older and located in territories where the Platform is available. By using this Platform, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with the Company and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Platform. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a child under 18 who has created an account on our Platform, please include any information, such as a username, that will aid in identifying the account, to have the account closed and personal information deleted.
Background and Purpose
AUDIOPOOL is a fan-powered music platform that allows artists to upload original music, including singles, EPs, and albums (each individual recording, a “Track”), and enables platform users (“Users”) to listen to Tracks, support Tracks by Staking Boost (AUDIOPOOL’s onchain participation credit), and share Tracks using platform tools. Staking is a transparent, public signal of fan support that helps power chart participation and reward eligibility within the Services. As used in these Terms of Use, “Artist” means an individual or entity that uploads original music.
Staking powers AUDIOPOOL’s chart and reward features. Charts are designed to reflect verifiable fan support, including Staking and Sharing Tracks. Tracks that rank in eligible chart positions may receive rewards, in accordance with the chart rules displayed in the Services. Eligibility to receive rewards may depend on meeting the applicable requirements, including being staked at the relevant snapshot or calculation time.
Boost is an onchain credit used within the Services for participation in chart and reward features. AUDIOPOOL does not sell Boost and does not facilitate trading of Boost. Rewards are provided solely as part of participation in the Services and are not intended to be, and should not be understood as, an investment product, profit opportunity, or return. At launch (including the MVP phase), Boost is designed for use within the Services. AUDIOPOOL may support certain inbound transfers of Boost into the Services and transfers of Boost within the Services, but AUDIOPOOL does not currently enable outbound transfers or withdrawals of Boost from the Services. AUDIOPOOL may add, modify, or remove Boost functionality over time.
Staking Boost through the Services is a participation mechanism used to signal support for Tracks and to participate in chart and reward features. Staking does not constitute an investment in any Track, Artist, or AUDIOPOOL, and does not give you any ownership interest, profit share, royalty right, or other financial interest in any music or the Company. Users may Unstake at any time and receive back 100% of the Boost they staked, subject to successful transaction processing. Blockchain network fees may apply to certain onchain transactions within the Services, including Staking, Unstaking, and reward-related transactions. AUDIOPOOL does not treat Staking as a purchase, wager, or transfer of ownership of Boost to AUDIOPOOL. Any Rewards are participation-based, may vary, and are not guaranteed.
AUDIOPOOL is a music discovery and participation platform. The Services are not a gambling or wagering service. Users do not place bets through the Services, and participation in chart and reward features is based on platform activity, not chance. Rewards, if any, are participation-based, may vary, and are not guaranteed.
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the AUDIOPOOL website, applications, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms. The Services are intended for users 18 years of age or older.
Participation in chart and reward features may involve the public display and private sharing of certain account, profile, wallet, and participation information, including sharing with relevant Artists and sponsors, as further described in our Privacy Policy.
Changes to the Terms of Use
We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time at our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Platform thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out in Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or before the date the change is posted on the Platform.
Your continued use of the Platform following the posting of the revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.
Accessing the Platform and Account Security
We reserve the right to withdraw or amend this Platform, and any service or material we provide on the Platform, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Platform is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Platform, or the entire Platform, to users, including registered users.
You are responsible for both:
Making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Platform.
Ensuring that all persons who access the Platform through your internet connection are aware of these Terms of Use and comply with them.
To access the Platform or some of the resources it offers, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Platform that all the information you provide on the Platform is correct, current, and complete. You agree that all information you provide to register with this Platform or otherwise, including, but not limited to, through the use of any interactive features on the Platform, is governed by our Privacy Policy www.audiopool.io/privacy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.
If you choose, or are provided with a username, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to this Platform or portions of it using your username, password, or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.
We are not liable to you if you suffer any losses or damages arising from or related to your provision of the foregoing security information to any third party, or if a third party gains unauthorized access to your personal information through your device(s).
We have the right to disable any username, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including but not limited to if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms of Use.
Third-Party Login Services
AUDIOPOOL uses a third-party authentication and wallet infrastructure provider, Dynamic (dynamic.xyz), to support user sign-in and embedded wallet functionality. Users access the Services by logging in with email, and an embedded Web3 wallet is created and associated with the user’s account through Dynamic.
Your use of any third-party services (including Dynamic) may be subject to additional terms, policies, and disclosures provided by those third parties. AUDIOPOOL is not responsible for the availability, security, or performance of third-party services, or for any acts or omissions of third-party providers.
Embedded Wallets (Non-Custodial)
As part of the Services, a Web3 wallet may be provisioned for you (an “Embedded Wallet”). Embedded Wallets are non-custodial, meaning you control the wallet and its associated private keys. AUDIOPOOL does not store your private keys. AUDIOPOOL cannot access, view, or recover your private keys, and cannot reverse blockchain transactions.
The Embedded Wallet exists to enable in-app functionality such as Staking, chart participation, and rewards. The Embedded Wallet is not itself the primary method used to sign in to the Services.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, device, and any authentication or recovery methods associated with your Embedded Wallet. If you lose access to your Embedded Wallet, you may lose access to any digital assets or rewards associated with it, and AUDIOPOOL may be unable to restore access.

License and Ownership Terms for Tracks and Pools
1) Ownership
AUDIOPOOL does not claim ownership of any Track uploaded to the Services. Artists retain all right, title, and interest in and to their Tracks, including all intellectual property rights, subject only to the limited licenses expressly granted under these Terms of Use.
2) Rights Required to Upload
By uploading a Track, you represent, warrant, and agree that you own or control all rights necessary to upload and make the Track available through the Services, including both:
the master sound recording rights in and to the Track;
and the publishing/composition rights in and to the Track (including all writers’ and publishers’ interests).
You further represent and warrant that the Track (and any associated artwork, titles, and metadata) does not infringe or violate any law or any third-party rights, and that making the Track available through the Services will not breach any agreement you have with any third party.
Samples and third-party materials. If your Track includes or is based on any third-party material (including any samples, interpolations, remixes, stems, beats, loops, sound recordings, compositions, vocals, or other protected content), you represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary rights, clearances, consents, and licenses to use such materials and to make the Track available through the Services on the terms set out in these Terms of Use.
Collecting societies; royalties. You acknowledge that AUDIOPOOL makes Tracks available through the Services on a royalty-free basis as between you and AUDIOPOOL. You are solely responsible for determining and satisfying any obligations you may have to any third party in connection with the Track, including without limitation any record label, music publisher, co-writers, producers, performers, or any performing rights organization (PRO), mechanical rights organization, collective management organization (CMO), or neighbouring-rights organization (including SoundExchange and international equivalents). If you (or any rightsholder of your Track) are affiliated with or represented by any such organization, or have entered into any agreement that could limit your ability to grant the licenses required for the Services, you represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary consents, waivers, and authorizations (and, where applicable, have satisfied any required notices or reporting obligations) to make the Track available through the Services on this basis.
If you cannot make these representations and warranties, you must not upload the Track.
3) Smart Contracts, Staking, and Onchain Records
Each Track on AUDIOPOOL may be associated with a blockchain-based smart contract or similar onchain record (a “Smart Contract”) used to support features such as Staking, chart participation, and rewards.
Certain actions in the Services may be recorded on the Base blockchain network (and, where applicable, other supported blockchain networks) and associated with a Track and/or a User’s wallet address (“Onchain Data”). Onchain Data may include, for example: (i) Track identifiers and Smart Contract addresses, (ii) Staking and Unstaking events (including amounts and timestamps), (iii) snapshot and chart-related events, and (iv) reward distribution events.
You acknowledge and agree that Onchain Data may be publicly viewable and that blockchain transactions are generally irreversible. As a result, AUDIOPOOL may not be able to modify, reverse, delete, or remove Onchain Data, even if a Track is removed or access is restricted within the Services.
AUDIOPOOL does not intend to record personal information (such as your name, email address, or other account details) onchain, and you should not include personal information in any Track metadata or content you submit. Information we collect off-chain through the Services is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Removal; Takedown; Suspension and Reporting Infringement
Removal; Takedown; Suspension. AUDIOPOOL may remove, disable access to, restrict, or delete any Content at any time in its sole discretion. “Content” includes, without limitation, Tracks, artwork, titles, metadata, usernames, profile photos, banner images, bios, link-in-bio pages, and any other materials submitted to or displayed through the Services. We may take these actions for any reason, including where we believe Content violates these Terms, the Content Standards, applicable law, or third-party rights, or where necessary to protect the integrity, security, or operation of the Services. We may also suspend or terminate accounts for repeated or serious violations.
If Content is removed or access is restricted, it may no longer be available through the Services. Any onchain records associated with a Track or user activity may remain publicly visible and may not be removable, as described in these Terms.
Report Infringement. If you believe that any Content on the Services infringes your copyright, trademark, or other rights, please report it to us at support@audiopool.io (or another contact method we designate) and include, where possible: (i) a description of the work or right you believe is infringed; (ii) a link or other information sufficient for us to locate the allegedly infringing Content; (iii) your name and contact information; and (iv) a brief explanation of why you believe the Content is infringing. We may request additional information to evaluate your report. We will review complete reports and respond within a reasonable time, and we may remove or restrict access to Content at our discretion.
Repeat Infringer Policy; Enforcement; Effect on Wallet and Boost
1) Repeat Infringer Policy
AUDIOPOOL respects the rights of copyright owners and expects Users and Artists to do the same. We may, in appropriate circumstances and in our sole discretion, suspend or terminate accounts of Users or Artists who are repeat infringers or who repeatedly violate these Terms, including the Content Standards.
For purposes of this policy, a “repeat infringer” may include any user who has been the subject of multiple infringement reports, takedown actions, or other credible allegations of rights violations, whether or not such reports result in a formal legal determination.
2) Enforcement and Remedies
In addition to any other rights or remedies available to AUDIOPOOL, we may take any of the following actions at any time, in our sole discretion, to enforce these Terms and protect the integrity of the Services:
remove, disable access to, or restrict any Content (including Tracks, profiles, images, and link-in-bio pages);
suspend, limit, or terminate an account;
restrict or revoke access to features (including uploading, Staking functionality within the Services UI, chart eligibility, missions, or rewards programs);
require additional verification or impose limits to prevent abuse; and/or
take any other action we reasonably believe necessary to protect the Services, Users, Artists, or third parties.
3) Effect on Rewards, Eligibility, and Boost
You acknowledge that participation in chart and reward features is subject to these Terms and the applicable program rules. If we reasonably believe you have engaged in infringement, fraud, manipulation, abuse, or other violations, we may, in our discretion:
disqualify you (including your wallet address) from eligibility for rewards, missions, or other incentive programs;
delay, suspend, withhold, or deny rewards (including rewards not yet distributed) to the extent permitted by applicable rules and law; and/or
reverse or correct program outcomes within the Services (for example, removing a Track from chart eligibility going forward).
4) Non-Custodial Wallets; No Confiscation
AUDIOPOOL does not control non-custodial wallets and does not store users’ private keys. As a result, AUDIOPOOL cannot seize, take, or transfer digital assets held in a user’s wallet.
However, you acknowledge that AUDIOPOOL may restrict your access to the Services and may limit your eligibility to participate in reward programs or to receive future rewards through the Services as described above.
5) Onchain Activity Remains

Boost has no cash redemption value through AUDIOPOOL.
AUDIOPOOL may support certain inbound transfers of Boost into the Services and transfers of Boost within the Services, including transfers between users if enabled. Any transfers of Boost within the Services (including user-to-user transfers, if enabled) are limited to participation functionality and do not enable sale, exchange, redemption, liquidity routing, or secondary market activity through AUDIOPOOL. AUDIOPOOL does not currently enable outbound transfers or withdrawals of Boost from the Services, and AUDIOPOOL may modify transfer functionality over time in its discretion, subject to applicable law and compliance review.
AUDIOPOOL does not provide a fiat on-ramp for Boost through the Services, does not facilitate trading of Boost through the Services, and does not operate any exchange, marketplace, broker, dealer, or secondary market for Boost. Any restrictions on outbound transfers or withdrawals of Boost from the Services are product functionality limits and do not mean AUDIOPOOL controls users’ private keys or external self-custody wallets.
AUDIOPOOL may impose limits, delays, or additional verification requirements on Boost-related activity to protect platform integrity, prevent fraud or abuse, comply with legal obligations, or support the safe operation of the Services.
3) Memberships and Platform Fees
AUDIOPOOL may offer optional or required memberships, subscriptions, or other platform access fees for certain features of the Services. During the MVP phase, the Services (or certain features) may be offered without charge. AUDIOPOOL may introduce, modify, or discontinue membership or platform fees at any time, but will provide advance notice before activating new recurring membership fees for existing users, unless a shorter notice period is required for legal, security, or operational reasons.
Any membership or platform fee is charged solely for access to platform features and services, and does not purchase Boost, does not constitute Staking, and does not guarantee any Rewards.
4) Rewards Only; No Guarantee of Rewards
The Services may allow Users to unlock rewards based on participation in platform mechanics such as Staking, Sharing, chart eligibility, missions, or other programs described in the Services (collectively, “Rewards”). Rewards may be denominated or paid in Boost, U.S. dollars (USD), or other forms of value disclosed by AUDIOPOOL in connection with the applicable program. Rewards are provided solely as part of participation in the Services and are not intended to be, and should not be understood as, an investment product, profit opportunity, or return.
AUDIOPOOL does not guarantee that any Rewards will be available, unlocked, paid, or maintained at any particular level. Reward programs, eligibility criteria, calculation methods, and payout timing may be changed, paused, limited, or discontinued at any time in AUDIOPOOL’s discretion, including to protect the integrity of the Services.
5) Eligibility, Integrity, and Withholding
Rewards may be subject to eligibility requirements, including being staked at the relevant snapshot or calculation time, and may be reduced, delayed, suspended, or withheld where AUDIOPOOL reasonably believes there has been fraud, manipulation, abuse, policy violations, or other activity that harms the integrity of the Services. AUDIOPOOL may require additional verification or impose limits to prevent misuse.
AUDIOPOOL may require identity verification, including know-your-customer (KYC) verification, tax documentation, or other compliance checks as a condition of eligibility for certain Rewards or reward distributions, including based on jurisdiction, payout method, or applicable law.
6) Blockchain Transactions; Network Conditions
Certain features of the Services may involve blockchain transactions (including Staking, Unstaking, and reward distributions). You acknowledge that blockchain transactions are generally irreversible and that transaction processing depends on third-party blockchain networks and infrastructure outside AUDIOPOOL’s control. AUDIOPOOL does not guarantee that any transaction will be confirmed within a particular time, or at all.
7) Fees and Network Costs
AUDIOPOOL does not charge Users a purchase price for Boost or for Rewards. However, third-party blockchain networks may charge transaction or network fees (including “gas” fees) to process transactions in the Services, including Staking, Unstaking, and reward-related transactions. AUDIOPOOL may, in its discretion, sponsor or cover some or all such fees as part of the user experience, but is not obligated to do so and may change or discontinue such sponsorship at any time.
8) Taxes
You are solely responsible for determining and paying any taxes, duties, levies, or similar governmental assessments that may apply to your use of the Services or receipt of Rewards. AUDIOPOOL does not provide tax advice.
9) No Refunds
Because AUDIOPOOL does not sell Boost or process purchases through the Services at this time, there are no refunds for Boost or Rewards through AUDIOPOOL. Any third-party transactions you may enter into outside the Services are governed solely by the terms of the relevant third party.
