In short
These conditions apply to one deal between a creator and a business, together with the deal terms you both agreed: the deliverables, the price and the deadline. The business pays the agreed price to Boon, and Boon holds it until the creator delivers and the review window of 3 days ends. Then the creator receives the price minus Boon's 10% fee. If the creator misses the deadline the business can take its money back, and the creator can cancel after payment with a refund of the whole price to the business. Every refund takes off a small network fee. Boon runs the platform and holds the money, but it isn't a party to the show or to your agreement.
1. What you are agreeing to
You accept these conditions for one exact set of deal terms. That set is saved in the deal with a version number, and contains:
- the deliverables: what the creator will do, written by the two of you;
- the price in USDC;
- the deadline for delivery;
- Boon's fee rate, 10%, saved with the terms.
Boon records that you accepted these conditions, their version (draft-2026-11-08), the exact set of deal terms, and when. The record is made by Boon's server only when you yourself agree the terms in the deal.
Once both sides have agreed, the deal terms can't change. To change anything, start a new request.
The deal is made up of, in this order if they conflict:
1. the agreed deal terms; 2. these conditions; 3. the creator terms or the business terms, and the acceptable use rules.
2. The parties
The agreement to make and pay for the work is between the creator and the business. Boon isn't a party to it.
Boon runs the showroom, builds the payment, holds the money, pays it out, and its admins decide reports (section 8). Boon doesn't produce, host or broadcast the show, doesn't check the creator's audience or claims, and doesn't check the business.
3. Payment
- After both sides agree, the business pays the agreed price to Boon, in USDC on the Solana network.
- Boon builds the payment. The business's wallet shows it, and nothing is sent unless the business approves it.
- The payment only counts once Boon's server has read it from the blockchain. Only one payment counts for each deal. A second payment goes straight back, minus the network fee below.
- The business pays the network fee in SOL for its 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.
- The money is held in a wallet that Boon controls, with a key kept on Boon's server, until the outcome. It isn't held by a bank or a payment company, and it isn't covered by any deposit or compensation scheme.
4. Boon's fee
Boon's fee is the rate saved with the deal terms: 10%. It comes out of the creator's payout. The business pays the agreed price and nothing more to Boon.
Example: the agreed price is 500 USDC. When the money is released, the creator receives 450 USDC and Boon keeps 50 USDC.
5. Delivery
- The creator delivers by the deadline, and submits proof in the deal: a link to the work, with an optional note, and possibly a file. Only the creator and the business can open the proof and any file.
- The creator can't deliver after the deadline.
- The proof should let the business check each deliverable. Boon doesn't check it.
- Advertising disclosure. The creator must disclose sponsorships, adverts and placements to their audience, in the way the rules where the audience lives require. The business must not ask the creator to hide it.
6. The review window
After delivery, a review window of 3 days follows. The length is saved with the delivery.
During the window, the business can:
- rate the work, once, from 1 to 5, with an optional comment, which may appear on the creator's page;
- report a problem, if the work wasn't delivered, isn't what the deliverables describe, the link doesn't work, or something else is wrong, with what happened and any evidence (links and uploaded files).
There is no "reject" button, and asking for changes doesn't pause the window.
7. Release
- With no report, Boon releases the money automatically when the review window ends: the price minus the fee, to the creator's wallet. This can't be undone.
- With a report, the money is held until an admin decides (section 8).
8. Reports and admin decisions
- A report from the business holds the money. Nothing is released while it is open.
- While the report is open, Boon's admins can read the deal's messages, and each read is logged.
- One of Boon's admins decides: release the money to the creator, minus the fee; or refund the business the whole price, Boon's fee included, minus the network fee.
- There is no deadline for the decision, and nothing is decided automatically.
- The admin decides only what happens to the held money. The decision doesn't decide any other claim either side may have against the other, and doesn't stop either side going to court. Not yet decided: how to ask for a decision to be looked at again.
9. Missed deadline
If the creator hasn't delivered by the deadline, the creator can no longer deliver or be paid. The business can take its money back, minus the network fee, from the deal page, at any time after the deadline. The refund doesn't happen by itself: until the business asks for it, the money stays held.
10. Cancelling
- Before payment: the creator can decline, and the business can withdraw. No money has moved.
- After payment, by the creator: the creator can cancel the deal. The business gets the price back, minus the network fee.
- After payment, by the business: the business can't cancel, except by reporting a problem during the review window, or by taking its money back after a missed deadline.
11. Rights in the work
What the business may do with the delivered content, where and for how long, is whatever the deal terms say. If they say nothing, [default licence, still to come].
12. Bans
If either side is banned, the deal can't move forward with new actions by that side. A ban never stops money going back to the business. If the creator is banned while the money is held for work not yet delivered, an admin decides the case.
13. Tax
Each side is responsible for its own tax on the deal.
