Distribution Agreement

Updated September 30, 2022

The following document, known as the “Distribution Agreement and Terms of Service,” is a legally binding agreement between you and Boost Collective Inc, a company incorporated in Ontario, Canada. This agreement pertains to your use of our Boost Collective service, which allows you to distribute your musical recordings to specific digital services and stores. Additionally, this agreement covers any other uses of your musical recordings and compositions by Boost Collective and its licensees, as outlined in this document. If you are agreeing to this Agreement on behalf of a group, company, or other entity, you confirm that you have the authority to do so and that you can legally bind them to this Agreement. Boost Collective is able to rely on this representation and all such people and entities will be included in the term “you” for the purposes of this Agreement.

By registering for a Boost Collective account (“Account”), you agree to the following terms and conditions. Therefore, please read and comprehend them thoroughly before proceeding. The Agreement shall come into effect automatically on the day you establish your Account, which is referred to as the “Effective Date.”

BOOST COLLECTIVE DOES NOT CLAIM ANY COPYRIGHT OR OTHER OWNERSHIP RIGHTS OVER YOUR MUSIC. WE ONLY OBTAIN A LIMITED LICENSE TO DISTRIBUTE IT.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MUST OWN OR OTHERWISE HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO REPRODUCE AND DISTRIBUTE 100% OF THE RECORDINGS, MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS, LITERARY WORKS, DRAMATIC WORKS, SPOKEN WORD CONTENT, ARTWORK AND ANY OTHER MATERIAL THAT YOU INTEND TO UPLOAD AND DISTRIBUTE VIA THE BOOST COLLECTIVE SERVICE, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAKE AND DISTRIBUTE DIGITAL DOWNLOADS EMBODYING THE MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS THEREIN, AND ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS OF SUCH MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, VIA STREAMING SERVICES), AS NECESSARY.

FOR EXAMPLE, WE CANNOT ACCEPT ANY REMIXES OR RECORDINGS THAT CONTAIN SAMPLES UNLESS YOU HAVE OBTAINED WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM THE SONGWRITERS AND OWNERS OF THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS. UNTIL BOOST COLLECTIVE RECEIVES NOTICE THAT THE APPROPRIATE LICENSES HAVE BEEN CLEARED, YOUR RECORDINGS OF COVER VERSIONS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ANY DIGITAL STORE.

  1. THE BOOST COLLECTIVE SERVICE AND YOUR RECORDINGS

  1. The Boost Collective Service allows you to upload digital files containing audio-only musical sound recordings or audio-visual works and the underlying musical compositions, literary works, dramatic works or spoken word content embodied therein (“Recordings”) to our servers. These Recordings can be distributed to digital stores, streaming services, and other digital services within our distribution network (“Digital Stores”). These Digital Stores may make your Recordings available to their customers and end users (“Customers”). The term “Compositions” as used in this context refers to the musical compositions, literary works, dramatic works, or spoken word content that are included in the Recordings.
  2. Recordings must be musical sound recordings that are either in a single track, EP, or album configuration. However, it is important to note that Digital Stores will allow customers to purchase or stream your recordings as individual tracks. This means that you cannot require customers to purchase or stream an entire album or EP as a single unit. It is not our usual practise to receive or share ringtones, audio books, spoken-word records, digital booklets, or other similar content. However, we reserve the right to consider such formats on a case-by-case basis at our discretion. If we decide to accept them, the terms of this Agreement will apply.
  3. WAV files in the recording format are presently acceptable. Boost Collective may request various formats or file sizes during the Term, and we or the Digital Stores may also require them. Boost Collective has the right to convert the audio files of the Recordings as needed.
  4. When you upload each recording, it is mandatory to provide us with all the necessary data that we or a digital store may require. This includes the artist name, album title, each track title, genre, and any available cover art. (in JPG format with RGB color or any other format that we or a Digital Store may require). As per the terms of this Agreement, any data, metadata, information, image files, artwork, or other materials that you provide to us will be considered as “Recordings.” It is necessary for you to specify whether the Recording includes explicit content. If this is the case, a Digital Store can label it accordingly.
  5. We will generate unique identifying codes for each Recording and provide them to your chosen Digital Stores. Alternatively, you can choose to specify your own UPC or ISRC codes.
  6. Once a user uploads a recording to our website, they may request to remove it at any time during the term by visiting www.boost-collective.com/takedown-request or through the ‘Release’ tab within their Boost Collective account. A fee may be necessary for the removal of your Recording from our Site. We retain the authority to modify or eliminate this charge at any moment at our discretion. 

  1. DIGITAL STORES

  1. The rights granted by you to Boost Collective are non-exclusive. Please note that sending your Recording(s) to the same Digital Stores through both Boost Collective and another service may result in double listing of your Recordings, which could lead to complications and/or problems in those Digital Stores.
  2. We commit to delivering your Recordings to Digital Stores in a timely manner. The integration, processing, and availability of your Recordings to Customers in a Digital Store may take several weeks, a few days, or a few hours, depending on the specific Digital Store and territory. Kindly exercise patience.
  3. Each Digital Store has the right to decide the pricing, format or media, and other terms on which it offers recordings, including your recordings, to its customers based on its business model. In certain situations, your Recordings may be offered for permanent digital download at a cost per unit. Alternatively, Customers may pay a monthly subscription fee to access your Recordings, as well as other recordings, for streaming or temporary download. As an additional example, Digital Stores have the right to offer your Recordings for free on a promotional basis, either alone or with other recordings. They may also choose to include or exclude your Recordings in marketing promotions, create editorial content about your Recordings and the featured artists, group Recordings by genre or other designation, and allow Customers and others to listen to free preview clips of your Recordings, all at their discretion. Your Recordings will be distributed to Digital Stores worldwide, unless you specify otherwise during the upload process.(s). 
  4.  It is possible that Digital Stores may decide not to distribute one or more of your recordings in certain regions or altogether, or they may choose to remove your recordings at any time, according to their policies and procedures. Please note that we have no control over this decision. We reserve the right to refuse to distribute or remove one or more recordings from digital stores if we receive any legal claims related to the recordings, if we anticipate potential legal issues, if a recording violates the terms and conditions of any digital store, or for any other reason based on our business judgment. In the event that our agreement with a Digital Store ends or is terminated, or if the Digital Store stops operating completely or in a specific region, your Recordings will no longer be accessible through that Digital Store. The “Territory” of this Agreement is the universe, except where noted with respect to certain territories outside of Canada.
  5. By choosing to participate in a Digital Store, you confirm to Boost Collective that you have carefully read, comprehended, and consented to abide by all the terms and conditions of that Digital Store. Additionally, you assure that both you and your Recordings and other content will adhere to those terms and conditions in their entirety.

In full consideration of the rights and licenses granted hereunder, we will post to your Boost Collective account 100% of all monies that we receive from your selected Digital Stores which are directly attributable to their exploitation of your Recordings, after deducting (i) any applicable PayPal fees or other payment processing fees and (ii) may include but is not limited to taxes, administration fees or other third-party fees. If your recordings are eligible for the Content ID service, we may use YouTube’s Content ID service and other methods to detect videos that contain your recordings. If we detect any such videos, we will deduct 20% from the monies paid to us that are attributable to those videos. Boost Collective will have the sole discretion to decide whether to pay any portion of the lump-sum payment received from a digital store that cannot be attributed to any particular artist account(s) or specific recordings from any particular artist account(s). Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, Boost Collective may determine to distribute such monies (i) on a pro-rata basis based on the number of artists with whom Boost Collective has distribution agreements; (ii) in its discretion among artists based on a historical earnings and/or proxy formula determined solely by Boost Collective; or (iii) based upon the amount the Digital Store actually credits Boost Collective for your Recordings subsequent to the payment to Boost Collective. Upon receipt of payment, you may submit an invoice for payment using your preferred payment method. You shall bear the responsibility for any bank fees or other charges associated with such withdrawals. Foreign currency sums will be converted to US Dollars at either the same rate received by us or the current spot exchange rate at the time of the transaction from store to Boost Collective or from Boost Collective to you. To clarify, your payment is a comprehensive pay-through payment, and you are solely accountable for paying and reporting all relevant taxes, tariffs, licensors, songwriters, publishers, artists, producers, mixers, and other third parties. We are unable to provide any legal, tax, accounting, or other advice. Kindly seek guidance from your own advisors concerning those issues.

You shall have no right to inspect or audit our books and records, or those of Digital Stores.

If you do not use PayPal, it is necessary to obtain approval from Boost Collective for all other payment methods before receiving payment from Boost Collective. Ensuring the functionality of your payment method is your responsibility. We reserve the right to modify or include supplementary payment methods during the Term. Boost Collective requires an active email account from you to communicate important notices. It is your responsibility to ensure that the email account is active, can receive emails from Boost Collective, and that your email address on file with Boost Collective is current.
  5. After we receive a payment for you from a Digital Store, we will notify you via email. It takes approximately three months from the date of your Recording’s release through the Boost Collective platform to receive a royalty statement from us. You must then affirmatively accept and send us an invoice obtainable via your Boost Collective account in order for us to transmit the royalties to you. We will also make available to you via your user dashboard a portion of accounting statements that we receive from your selected Digital Stores for the applicable period. We reserve the right to remove any statements that contain confidential information or information pertaining to third parties. If your account is managed on behalf of a group, company, partnership, or any entity other than yourself, then you are responsible for paying any other parties. Payments will be made solely to the account holder.
  6. Boost Collective has the right to decide, at its own discretion, whether your Recording(s) meet certain streaming and/or sales metric qualifications. If they do, Boost Collective may offer you the option to receive an advance payment of royalties, minus a processing fee that will be a specified percentage of each advance payment. This offer may be made from time to time throughout the Term, and the amount of the Accelerated Payment, including the processing fee, will be determined solely by Boost Collective.

In case the information provided on tax forms is inaccurate, incomplete or misrepresented, we have the right to hold back the amounts owed to you until we receive the appropriate and accurate information that relieves withholding. We retain the right to hold back any amounts owed to you if, in accordance with applicable laws, we are required to do so based on accurate and timely information that has been submitted to us. By using our services, you acknowledge and accept that you are solely responsible for providing accurate and truthful tax and financial information.
