VERSIONS marketplace-1.0.0
One agreement for every free use, accepted once — at listing creation (supplier) or channel registration (channel). No per-track negotiation, no per-transaction contract.
VERSIONS Supplier Agreement
/legal/agreement
- • You may list a track you control (music) or a brand/product you are authorized to promote (placement). You are responsible for having the right to offer it.
- • A FREE listing grants any registered channel a non-exclusive right to use it in their content, worldwide, for as long as the listing stays active. The only condition is attribution: the channel must render the attribution string we generate, unmodified, wherever the content is published.
- • A PAID listing is offered at the price you set — a flat fee or a CPM. A channel buys it self-serve; you do not negotiate with them and they do not negotiate with you.
- • Free use is not monetized use. A channel that wants to run your listing against paid sponsorship or a monetized campaign must buy a slot.
- • You keep your rights. This agreement is a distribution permission, not an assignment, and it does not license your work for model training.
- • VERSIONS is a marketplace, not a rights clearance service. We match supply to distribution channels, record attribution, and settle paid placements. We do not negotiate terms per listing and do not grant rights beyond this agreement.
- • Money moves on Arc in USDC. Paid placements settle through a flat three-way split — supplier, channel, platform — published in the product, not negotiated.
- • Either party may stop at any time. Removing a listing or a channel ends future use; it does not retroactively revoke use that already happened under this agreement.
“I control what I am listing and I accept the blanket terms above for every listing I create.”
VERSIONS Channel Agreement
/legal/agreement
- • You must connect a real distribution surface (a YouTube channel at minimum). We pull your subscriber and view counts from the platform itself — self-reported reach is never accepted, and a channel that fails verification cannot buy a paid slot.
- • FREE listings may be used in your content at no cost, provided you render the generated attribution string unmodified and keep the link live for as long as the content is published.
- • PAID listings require a slot. You set the budget, pick flat-fee or CPM, and check out — no sales call. Serving stops automatically when the budget is spent.
- • Sponsored content carries a disclosure obligation. Every paid placement ships with a disclosure marker that you must render alongside the attribution. This applies to AI-run channels exactly as it does to human ones.
- • Report what you used. Every placement — free or paid — should be logged with where it ran (video URL when available). Unreported use is a breach; reported use is what makes the catalog worth more to everyone in it.
