SERVICES & ARTIST LICENSING AGREEMENT

This Services & Artist Licensing Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made between Feedbands, LLC (“Feedbands”), with its principal place of business at 411 West State Street, Suite A, Black Mountain, NC 28711 and Artist who has executed this Agreement in accordance with Section 21 of this Agreement.

The purpose of this Agreement is to confirm the terms and conditions of the engagement between Feedbands and Artist.

1. SERVICES OF FEEDBANDS

Feedbands is a crowdsourced music streaming and downloading platform operating via the website www.feedbands.com (the “Platform”), as well as a record label.

1.1. Streaming and Downloading Services (the “Streaming and Downloading Services”)

Artists upload and post their audio recordings and other content, such as music videos, images, album artwork, lyrics, information, and tour dates (collectively, the “Content”), to Feedbands Platform via an automated process. Feedbands does not play an active part in the selection or upload of Content to the Platform, but rather merely acts as a host for the Content. Consumers using the Feedbands Platform (the “User/s”) can stream audio recordings uploaded by artists and can interact socially by voting and commenting on the Content. Feedbands also makes distributions of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin to artists in accordance with this Agreement and may feature artist audio recordings on the top chart list and the daily dose list. The top chart list (the “Top Chart List”) ranks artist audio recordings according to the number of User votes that have been made. Feedbands does not publicly display the exact number of votes made for audio recordings, however, artists can access this information from their artist account. The daily dose list (the “Daily Dose List”) features one audio recording per day that has generated reasonable User interaction or that Feedbands staff decide in their discretion to display. Audio recordings featured on the Daily Dose List may be downloaded for free by certain Users of Feedbands.

1.2. Vinyl Pressing Services (the “Vinyl Pressing Services”)

Feedbands discretionarily offers their Vinyl Pressing Services to artists depending on the amount of user interaction the artist has generated on the Platform. Feedbands may offer an artist a full vinyl album release or may offer for the artist’s single audio recording to be released on a compilation vinyl along with other artists featured on Feedbands.

2. SCOPE & NATURE OF THIS AGREEMENT

This Agreement applies to the Streaming and Downloading Services of Feedbands. This Agreement does not cover the Vinyl Pressing Services of Feedbands. If Artist is offered Vinyl Pressing Services by Feedbands, they will be presented with a separate agreement that details this service. Parties acknowledge that this Agreement shall not be deemed to create a partnership or joint venture between the Parties, and neither Party is an agent, partner or employee of the other Party.

3. USERS OF FEEDBANDS

Artist acknowledges that once Artist has uploaded or posted Content to the Platform Users of Feedbands can interact with the Content. Artist gives permission for Feedbands to allow for Users to interact and view uploaded, or posted, Artist Content to the extent that is necessary for Feedbands to provide their Services. This includes, but is not limited to, allowing Users to stream, download, comment, skip and vote on Content. All Users are prevented under the Feedbands Terms of Use Agreement from using Artist content for commercial purposes and may only use Artist Content for private non-commercial use.

3.1. Types of Feedbands Users

Feedbands has two types of Users, active subscribers and non-subscribers. An active subscriber (“Active Subscriber”) is a User of the Platform that has signed up and made payment for a Feedbands subscriber service such as the Digital Subscriber Service or the Vinyl Subscriber Service. Active Subscribers are granted extra features, such as the ability to vote, skip audio recordings and comment on Artist Content. Active Subscribers are also able to download any audio recording featured on the Daily Dose List for free. A non-subscriber (“Non-Subscriber”) is a User of the Platform that has not signed up or made a payment to Feedbands for any subscriber service. A Non-Subscriber only has access to limited Feedbands features, such as streaming audio recordings in a non-interactive way and viewing artist profiles and content. Non-Subscribers are not able to vote, skip audio recordings, download the featured Daily Dose List audio recording or comment on artist Content.

4. ARTIST ACCOUNT AND PROFILE PAGE

Artist will be given access to a password protected Feedbands account (“Artist Account”) where they can upload or post Content to the Platform in the requested file formats, create a profile page, edit Platform settings and link a Bitcoin wallet. An Artist Account is limited in Platform features and will not allow Artist to vote, skip audio recordings, download audio recordings featured on the Daily Dose List or comment on the Platform. Artists will only have access to such features if they sign up to be an Active Subscriber of Feedbands.

5. GRANT OF LICENSE

By uploading or posting Content to the Feedbands Platform, Artist initiates an automated process where the Content is stored on Feedbands servers and made available to Users of Feedbands. To the extent that is necessary for Feedbands to provide Feedbands services, Artist grants Feedbands a limited, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to reproduce, transmit, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, make available to Users in the ways described in Section 3 of this Agreement and otherwise communicate uploaded and posted Artist Content on the Feedbands Platform. Artist does not grant Feedbands any copyright interest in the Content and Feedbands will not have a license to any other Content owned by Artist that is not uploaded or posted onto the Platform. Artist does not have any obligation to provide additional Content and may revoke this license at any time by requesting for removal of their Content from the Platform in accordance with Section 11 of this Agreement or by terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section 10 of this Agreement.

6. USE OF CONTENT FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES

By uploading or posting Content to the Feedbands Platform Artist grants Feedbands the non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free right, to use such Content, as well as the Artist’s name, image, likeness and biographical information to promoting Feedbands Services on any technology now existing or future developed. This permission includes, but is not limited to, allowing for Feedbands to feature their Content on the Daily Dose List and in the Top Charts List, to display Artist Content in conjunction with Feedbands advertisements, to communicate and share Artist Content on public channels including, but not limited to, the Platform itself, social media and the Feedbands email newsletter. When Artist has requested for their Content to be removed in accordance with Section 11 of this Agreement, or this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 10 of this Agreement, Feedbands agrees not to make use of such Content for new promotional purposes, however, Feedbands cannot and does not guarantee the removal of the Content from promotional materials created prior to the removal of the Content from the Platform or prior to termination of this Agreement.

7. CONSIDERATION

In consideration of Artist’s Grant of License, Feedbands will promote the Content by displaying uploaded or posted Content on the Feedbands Platform and will reward Artist with intangible property in the form of Bitcoin cryptocurrency in accordance with the following Sub-sections:

7.1. Identity Verification & Linking of Wallet as Conditions to Consideration

Artist must satisfy the following two prerequisite conditions to receive Bitcoin consideration. Feedbands is not liable for any consideration that was not distributed due to Artist failing to satisfy these two conditions:

(a) Artist must successfully complete an automated identity verification. To complete this verification, Artist must upload a government-issued identification document into the automated identity verification system and must be successfully approved by the identity verification system; and

(b) Artist must provide Feedbands with the Public Key to their Bitcoin wallet.

7.2. Bitcoin Per Stream

Artist will accrue the equivalent Bitcoin value of 0.01 USD each time an audio recording that they have uploaded is streamed by an Active Subscriber (1 cent per stream). Each Active Subscriber is capped at 300 streams per month (“Capped Streaming Amount”). Active Subscribers have the option to extend their stream limit by paying an additional fee to Feedbands.

7.3. Advertising Revenue

Feedbands may in their discretion run third-party advertisements on audio recording streams played by Non-Subscriber’s and played by Active Subscriber’s that have used up their Capped Streaming Amount. Subject to subsequent written agreement between Feedbands and Artist, Artist may receive cryptocurrency consideration for such third-party advertisements. Artist will not receive consideration for advertisements that promote Feedbands rather than a third-party.

7.4. Distribution of Bitcoin

Artist will automatically be distributed Bitcoin when their accrued Bitcoin reaches the amount of $5.00 USD, or $2.50 USD if Artist has opted for distribution at this lower amount (the “Minimum Distribution Amount”). Distributions will only be made once per calendar day. Any Bitcoin that accrues on a day after a distribution has already been made will be held for distribution the following day or at a time when the Artist’s Account reaches the Minimum Distribution Amount again.

7.5. Exchange Rate

The value of any accrued Bitcoin will be calculated at the exchange rate of the time each individual stream occurs.

8. RECORDS & ACCOUNTING STATEMENTS

Artist will be able to access records and accounting statements of Bitcoin transfers made to Artist through their Artist Account.
