AUDIOPOOL Terms of Use

Last Modified: 2 August 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"). These Terms of Use, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference, govern your access to and use of https://www.audiopool.io/ and any related content, functionality, applications, and services offered by AUDIOPOOL (collectively, the "Services"), whether as a guest or a registered user. Please read these Terms of Use carefully before you use the Services. By using the Services, or by clicking to accept or agree to these Terms of Use when that option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, available at https://www.audiopool.io/privacy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Services. The Services are offered and available only to users who are 18 years of age or older and located in jurisdictions where the Services are lawfully offered by AUDIOPOOL. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with the Company and meet all eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Services. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a child under 18 who has created an account, please contact us with information that will help us identify the account so that it can be closed and the related personal information deleted.

Background and Purpose

AUDIOPOOL is a music discovery platform that connects new and unreleased Tracks to labels and brands through a live chart powered by fan engagement. Through the Services, approved or invited Artists may upload original music, including singles, EPs, and albums, and Fans may Play, Boost, Share, and, where enabled, Download Tracks using the features we make available. Each individual sound recording is a “Track.” An “Artist” is a person or entity approved or invited by AUDIOPOOL to upload Tracks through Artist Studio or another artist upload flow. A “Fan” is any user who participates in discovering, Playing, Boosting, Sharing, Downloading, or otherwise supporting music through AUDIOPOOL. References to Fans may include DJs, curators, tastemakers, and other supporters of new music.

AUDIOPOOL is designed so that participation becomes visible support. Fan activity may affect chart visibility under the then-current rules governing ranking, snapshots, eligibility, rewards, integrity standards, Download eligibility, and related chart mechanics displayed in the Services or otherwise made available by AUDIOPOOL (the “Chart Rules”). Chart outcomes, Downloads, rewards, recognition, and Industry Opportunities are not guaranteed. Except as needed to enforce these Terms, prevent manipulation, apply the Chart Rules, or correct errors, AUDIOPOOL does not use discretionary editorial decisions to change chart outcomes.

Boost is AUDIOPOOL’s onchain digital vote used within the Services to support Tracks, participate in chart activity, and access certain reward, recognition, Download, or opportunity-related features. Boosting records support and participation. It does not create any ownership interest, profit share, royalty right, revenue share, or other financial interest in any Track, Artist, or AUDIOPOOL. AUDIOPOOL does not sell Boost through the Services and does not facilitate trading of Boost through the Services.

Sponsors and Industry Partners may support rewards, recognition programs, Downloads, and opportunities associated with the Services, but they do not influence chart ranking logic, weighting coefficients, qualification thresholds, governance decisions, or chart visibility. The Services are intended for cultural participation and music discovery, not gambling, wagering, or investment activity. Rewards and opportunities may vary and are not guaranteed.

Participation in Playing, Boosting, Sharing, Download, chart, and reward features may involve public display of certain account, profile, wallet, and participation information within the Services, including your username or handle, public profile information, wallet address, and participation details such as Boosting activity where applicable. Some activity may also be reflected in public blockchain records, as further described in the Privacy Policy. AUDIOPOOL does not provide non-public personal contact information, such as an email address, legal name, mailing address, or phone number, to Artists, sponsors, or Industry Partners except as described in the Privacy Policy or a published program-specific redemption, opportunity, or fulfillment process.

Changes to the Terms of Use

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Services 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 in the Services. Your continued use of the Services after revised Terms of Use are posted means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so that you are aware of any changes, because they are binding on you.

Accessing the Services and Account Security

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Services, and any service or material we provide through the Services, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Services is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Services, or the entire Services, to users, including registered users. You are responsible for both:

  • Making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Services.
  • Ensuring that all persons who access the Services through your internet connection are aware of these Terms of Use and comply with them. To access the Services or some of the resources they offer, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Services that all information you provide through the Services is correct, current, and complete. You must maintain a valid, verified, and monitored email address for as long as your account remains active. You agree that all information you provide to register with the Services or otherwise, including through any interactive features, is governed by our Privacy Policy, available at https://www.audiopool.io/privacy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with that 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 that information as confidential and 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 the Services or portions of the Services 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 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 Boosting, 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.

Email and Electronic Communications

Electronic delivery. By creating or using an account, you agree that AUDIOPOOL may provide agreements, notices, disclosures, receipts, and other communications electronically, including by email, in-product notification, or posting within the Services, where permitted by applicable law.

Essential participation communications. AUDIOPOOL connects Artists, Fans, DJs, curators, and other users with chart visibility, rewards, recognition, and Industry Opportunities. The ability to communicate with account holders is essential to providing these features and administering participation in the Services.

As a condition of creating and maintaining an account, you must:

  • provide a valid email address;
  • verify that email address;
  • keep the email address current and capable of receiving communications from AUDIOPOOL; and
  • regularly monitor communications relating to your account and participation.

AUDIOPOOL may use the email address associated with your account to send communications concerning:

  • your account, profile, Artist Studio, and uploaded Tracks;
  • relevant chart positions, chart movement, chart results, and chart highlights;
  • rewards you have earned, may qualify for, or must take action to claim;
  • Industry Opportunities identified for or offered to you;
  • introductions, enquiries, or communications involving Industry Partners;
  • Downloads, support activity, and participation connected with your account or Tracks;
  • moderation, rights, security, fraud prevention, and compliance matters;
  • changes to the Services, these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Artist Upload License Agreement, Chart Rules, or program terms;
  • service availability, technical issues, and operational matters; and
  • other information reasonably necessary to administer your participation in AUDIOPOOL.

Integral part of the Services. These communications are an integral part of the Services and are not an optional newsletter subscription. AUDIOPOOL does not offer accounts where it cannot reasonably communicate with the account holder about participation, chart visibility, rewards, and Industry Opportunities.

Responsibility to remain contactable. You are responsible for maintaining a valid, verified, and monitored email address. If communications repeatedly fail, your email address becomes invalid, or AUDIOPOOL can no longer communicate with you about matters necessary to provide the Services, AUDIOPOOL may restrict, suspend, or close your account.

Failure to read an email does not extend a deadline, preserve an expired reward or opportunity, or make AUDIOPOOL responsible for any result arising from your failure to monitor the email address associated with your account.

Partner and opportunity communications. AUDIOPOOL may include information about Industry Partners, rewards, and opportunities where that information relates to the Services, your participation, or an opportunity available through AUDIOPOOL.

No unrelated promotional emails. AUDIOPOOL will not use the mandatory essential-communications stream to send unrelated promotional emails, sell your email address, or permit third parties to send advertising directly to you.

No email-free account. Essential participation communications cannot be disabled while your account remains active. AUDIOPOOL does not provide an account that is disconnected from communications necessary to administer chart participation, rewards, Industry Opportunities, Artist activity, security, or other core features. If you do not wish to receive these communications, you must close your account. AUDIOPOOL may continue to send communications that are legally required or necessary to complete account closure, resolve outstanding matters, prevent fraud, maintain compliance records, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

License and Ownership Terms for Tracks and Smart Contracts

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. You further represent and warrant that you have all rights, licences, consents, and permissions required to authorize free Downloads of the Track through the Services where Download functionality is enabled, including all master, publishing, composition, sample, featured artist, producer, artwork, and other third-party rights.

If you cannot make these representations and warranties, you must not upload the Track.

3) Smart Contracts, Boosting, 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 Boosting, 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) Boosting and Unboosting 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.

Downloads and User Download Rights

1) Download Availability and Artist Authorization

Where enabled by AUDIOPOOL, Tracks may be made available as free Downloads to users who meet the applicable Download eligibility requirements. A “Download” means a downloadable copy of a Track made available through the Services where Download functionality is enabled by AUDIOPOOL and authorized by the Artist through Artist Studio, the applicable upload settings, or another approved upload flow.

A Track will be made available for Download only where the Artist has authorized Downloads. Artists are separately bound by the Artist Upload License Agreement, which governs the rights, permissions, warranties, and obligations required to make a Track available for Download.

2) Support-Gated Downloads

Download eligibility may include Boosting the Track or completing another support action described in the Services. A Boost-gated Download is an artist-supported gift, reward, or access feature. Boosting is an onchain digital vote and a signal of support. It is not payment for the Track, a purchase of the Track, or a sale of digital music by AUDIOPOOL or the Artist.

A Boost-gated Download does not create any ownership interest, royalty right, revenue share, profit share, equity interest, or other financial interest in the Track, the Artist, or AUDIOPOOL.

3) User Download Licence

When you lawfully Download a Track through AUDIOPOOL, you receive a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to Download, store, and use that Track for personal listening and DJ-performance purposes.

This includes use of the downloaded Track in live DJ sets, subject to any venue, event, public-performance, broadcast, livestream, neighbouring-rights, performing-rights, mechanical-rights, or other licence required by law or by the relevant venue, platform, broadcaster, territory, or collecting society.

4) Download Restrictions

You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense, upload, publish, commercially exploit, mint, sample, remix, synchronize, broadcast, livestream, make available, share the audio file itself, create derivative works from, or otherwise distribute or exploit a downloaded Track except where AUDIOPOOL or the Artist expressly permits that use in writing.

5) Additional Download Rules

AUDIOPOOL may display additional usage terms, eligibility conditions, territorial limits, file formats, Download limits, required support actions, or other rules at the point of Download. Those additional terms apply to the applicable Download.

AUDIOPOOL may modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue Download functionality, eligibility criteria, or Download-related rules at any time. Downloads already completed remain subject to the licence and restrictions that applied when the Download occurred.

AUDIOPOOL does not guarantee that any Track will remain available for Download, that any user will qualify for a Download, or that a downloaded file will be compatible with any particular device, software, or DJ system.

6) Downloads and Chart Activity

Users may support Tracks by Playing, Boosting, Sharing, and, where enabled, Downloading Tracks through the Services. Chart activity may include Play activity, Boosting activity, Sharing activity, Download activity, and other participation signals recognized under the Chart Rules.

Download eligibility does not independently guarantee or determine chart placement. Where a Download is unlocked by Boosting or another support action, the related support activity may be counted, weighted, limited, excluded, reviewed, or disqualified under the same Chart Rules and integrity standards that apply to other participation activity.

AUDIOPOOL may investigate suspected abuse of Download functionality, including automated Downloads, multi-accounting, evasion of eligibility limits, unauthorized redistribution, or other manipulation. AUDIOPOOL may restrict Downloads, disqualify activity, withhold rewards, remove Content, or suspend or terminate accounts in response.

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.

If you Boost a Track or participate in chart features, your participation may be visible within the Services to other users, including your username or handle, public profile information you choose to display, wallet address, the Track or Tracks you support, and participation details such as Boosting activity, amounts, and timing as presented in the Services. Participation may also be reflected in public blockchain records.

Where applicable, we will disclose only the minimum necessary information to complete redemption or fulfillment and related support or fraud prevention. Artists may not resell personal information obtained through the Services to third parties. Sponsors may not resell personal information obtained through the Services to third parties.

Sponsor Non-Interference.

Sponsors may support rewards, recognition programs, and fan-powered charts and related programs only, subject to these Terms.

Online Transactions and Other Terms and Conditions

1) No Sale of Boost; Free Track Downloads

AUDIOPOOL does not offer any ability to purchase Boost through the Services. Tracks may be made available as free Downloads under these Terms, but those Downloads are not sales or purchases of digital music. AUDIOPOOL does not sell Boost, does not provide a fiat on-ramp, and does not facilitate trading of Boost. Any decision to acquire Boost outside the Services, if applicable, is solely between you and the relevant third party and is not provided, sponsored, or controlled by AUDIOPOOL.

2) Boost Functionality and Transfer Restrictions

Boost is a participation credit for use within the Services only. Boost is not equity or ownership in AUDIOPOOL, is not intended to be a security or financial instrument, is not a deposit or bank product, is not redeemable for cash through AUDIOPOOL, and does not provide any right to dividends, profits, revenue share, royalty, or financial return. AUDIOPOOL does not operate an exchange, order book, swap interface, or automated market maker for Boost, and does not seed, support, or provide liquidity for Boost liquidity pools. The Services do not reference or incorporate any external market price of Boost in ranking, rewards, eligibility, or visibility. Boost used in the Services functions solely as a participation credit for Boosting, chart participation, and reward-related functionality. Once Boost is used inside the Services, it is non-withdrawable from the Services and functions only within the Services as participation credit. AUDIOPOOL may support certain inbound transfers of Boost into the Services, but AUDIOPOOL does not enable outbound transfers or withdrawals of Boost from the Services and does not enable secondary market activity through the Services. Boosting is a signal of fan support and a participation-recording mechanism only. Nothing in the Services is intended to create an investment opportunity or any expectation of profit, and Boost is not offered or made available as an investment product. AUDIOPOOL may impose limits, delays, or additional verification requirements on Boost-related activity to protect the integrity of the Services, prevent fraud or abuse, comply with legal obligations, or support the safe operation of the Services.

3) Memberships and Service Fees

AUDIOPOOL may offer optional or required memberships, subscriptions, or other service access fees for certain features of the Services.

4) Rewards Only; No Guarantee of Rewards

The Services may allow users to unlock rewards based on participation in the mechanics of the Services, such as Boosting, Sharing, chart eligibility, missions, or other programs described in the

Services (collectively, "Rewards"). Rewards may be denominated or paid in Boost, U.S. dollars, 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. Sponsor-Supported Rewards. Certain Rewards may be funded, provided, or supported by third-party sponsors. Additional eligibility requirements may apply to sponsor-supported Rewards. AUDIOPOOL is not responsible for third-party sponsor products, services, fulfillment, or offers. 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.

No purchase is required to participate unless expressly stated in the applicable rules. The probabilities or odds, eligibility requirements, reward types, and cooldown rules for any such program will be disclosed in the Services and/or in a program-specific Rewards Rules page. Rewards and credits are account-bound, non-transferable, have no cash value, and do not constitute property. We may withhold, void, or reverse eligibility for rewards within the Services, and may suspend or terminate accounts, where we detect or reasonably suspect abuse, automated scripts, botting, multi-accounting, or other manipulation. "Reverse" here means reverse eligibility or credits within the Services, not onchain transactions.

5) Eligibility, Integrity, and Withholding

Rewards may be subject to eligibility requirements, including maintaining an active Boost 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. Integrity Actions. If AUDIOPOOL determines that activity related to charts or Rewards is fraudulent, abusive, manipulative, or otherwise violates these Terms, AUDIOPOOL may delay, reduce, withhold, revoke, or deny Rewards and may disqualify related chart activity. AUDIOPOOL may require identity verification, including know-your-customer 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 Boosting, Unboosting, 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 Boosting, Unboosting, 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.
