In short
As a business you can ask creators for a guest spot, a sponsorship, an advert or a product placement on shows they list in Boon's showroom. You and the creator agree the deliverables, the price and the deadline in writing in the deal, and then you pay the agreed price in USDC to Boon. Boon holds it until the creator delivers and the review window of 3 days ends, then pays the creator the price minus Boon's 10% fee. If the creator misses the deadline you can take your money back, minus a small network fee, and if something is wrong you can report it during the review window. Boon doesn't make the show and isn't a party to your deal with the creator.
1. Who we are
Boon is run by [operator name, still to come], company number [company number, still to come], at [address, still to come] ("Boon", "we", "us"). Contact: [contact email, still to come].
2. What these terms cover
These terms apply when you use Boon as a business: your business profile, requests to creators, deals, payments, reviews and reports.
You also agree to the acceptable use rules. For each deal, you also accept the showroom deal conditions. Our privacy notice explains what we do with your information.
3. Your business profile
- Anyone with an account can add a business profile, with a name, a website and a description. Boon doesn't approve businesses, and doesn't check the name, the website or who you are.
- You must have the authority to act for the business you name, and to agree deals and pay for it.
- Your profile is shown to creators you send requests to. [where else the profile is shown, still to come].
4. Your wallet and USDC
- You sign in and pay with a Solana wallet that you or your business control. Boon has no passwords and never holds your wallet's key.
- You pay in USDC on the Solana network. Boon builds the payment, and your wallet shows it to you. Nothing is sent unless you approve it there.
- A payment only counts once Boon's server has read it from the blockchain.
- You pay the network fee in SOL for your payment. It isn't returned with a refund.
- Every refund takes off a fixed network fee of 0.01 USDC, which Boon keeps, so Boon doesn't pay to send it. Your receipt shows the exact amount.
- Blockchain payments are public and permanent. Your wallet address, and the payment, can be seen by anyone on the Solana network. Boon can't reverse a blockchain transaction.
- Test networks. Boon runs only on test networks today, with test tokens that have no value.
5. Requests and deals
1. Request. You choose a show and an offer the creator takes (guest, sponsorship, advertising or placement), and write a brief. Requests don't expire. You can withdraw a request before you pay. 2. Talking. You and the creator can message each other in the deal. 3. Terms. Either side proposes deal terms: the deliverables, the price and the deadline. The other side can accept them, or propose new ones. Each set has a version number. 4. Agreed. When one side accepts a set of terms, both sides have agreed them, and each accepts the showroom deal conditions for that exact set. The deal terms can't change after that. To change anything, start a new request. 5. Payment. You pay the agreed price to Boon. 6. Delivery and review. The creator delivers, and the review window follows. See the showroom deal conditions.
The creator can decline a request at any time before you pay.
6. What to write in the deliverables
Write everything you and the creator agree into the deliverables. Boon only knows what is written there. Include, where it applies:
- exactly what the creator will make or say, where it will appear, and when;
- how the creator will disclose that it's an advert or a sponsorship (for example "#ad");
- any exclusivity;
- what you may do with the content afterwards, where and for how long.
Boon has no separate fields for disclosure or exclusivity.
Advertising disclosure. Sponsored content and adverts must be disclosed to the audience, in the way the rules where the audience lives require. You must not ask a creator to hide that content is paid for.
7. Price and Boon's fee
You pay the agreed price, and nothing more to Boon. Boon's 10% fee comes out of the creator's payout. For example, on a 1,000 USDC deal the creator receives 900 USDC and Boon keeps 100 USDC. Both sides see the split before they agree. The fee rate is saved with the agreed terms.
8. Where your money is held
When you pay, your USDC goes to a wallet that Boon controls, with a key kept on Boon's server. Boon holds it there until the creator is paid or the money goes back to you. Boon keeps its own fees in the same wallet.
Your money isn't held by a bank or a payment company, and it isn't covered by any deposit or compensation scheme. If Boon's key were lost or stolen, or Boon stopped operating, you might not get your money back. [what happens to held money if Boon stops, still to come].
9. Delivery, review and reports
The showroom deal conditions set out delivery, the review window, rating, reporting a problem, a missed deadline and cancellation. In short:
- After delivery, you have 3 days to rate the work and report a problem with evidence.
- With no report, the creator is paid automatically when the window ends.
- A report holds the money until one of Boon's admins decides: pay the creator, or refund you everything, Boon's fee included, minus the network fee. There is no deadline for that decision.
- If the creator misses the deadline, you can take your money back, minus the network fee.
- You can't cancel after paying, except through a report or a missed deadline.
10. Rating creators
You can rate the creator's work once for each deal, from 1 to 5, with an optional comment. Your rating may appear on the creator's page. Ratings must be honest and based on the deal. See the acceptable use rules. Creators don't rate businesses.
11. Messages
Messages in a deal are between you and the creator. Boon's admins can only read them while the deal has an open report, and each time an admin reads them is logged. Don't share passwords, keys or recovery phrases in messages, and don't pay a creator outside Boon for a deal you agreed through Boon. [off-platform payment rule, still to come]: Not yet decided.
12. Bans
Boon's admins can ban an account that breaks these terms or the acceptable use rules. A ban stops new actions, such as sending requests, paying and messaging. A ban never stops money going back to you. Not yet decided: how you can appeal.
13. Boon's role
Boon runs the showroom, builds payments, holds the money and pays it out, and its admins decide reports. Boon doesn't produce, host or broadcast any show, and isn't a party to your deal with the creator. Boon doesn't check creators, their audiences or their claims about reach.
14. Liability
[liability terms, still to come].
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any liability that the law doesn't allow to be limited or excluded.
15. Changes to these terms
Boon may change these terms. A new version has a new version number, and you'll be asked to accept it before your next action. A change doesn't alter a deal you've already agreed. [notice period, still to come].
16. Complaints about Boon
Contact [contact email, still to come]. [complaint handling, still to come].
17. Law
These terms are governed by [governing law, still to come]. [courts, still to come].
