This Artist Compensation Policy supplements and forms part of the Artist Agreement. In the event of a conflict, the Artist Agreement controls unless this policy expressly states otherwise.
Audibin distributes artist compensation through a quarterly artist payment model. Fifty percent (50%) of gross subscription revenue collected in each calendar month is allocated to eligible Artists as a platform distribution payment, and those monthly allocations are aggregated for payout on a quarterly basis. For each month, the applicable artist pool is divided equally among the artists a subscriber followed for at least three (3) calendar days during that month, and each Artist's quarterly payment equals the sum of that Artist's per-subscriber monthly allocations during the applicable quarter. This compensation structure is a platform distribution payment and does not constitute a royalty, mechanical license fee, or performance royalty within the meaning of the Copyright Act or any applicable collective licensing agreement.
All compensation payable under this Agreement will be paid solely to the registered holder of the Artist account (Account Holder). Audibin has no obligation to, and will not, divide or allocate payments among collaborators, co-writers, featured artists, producers, or any other parties who may have contributed to the Content. The Account Holder is solely responsible for distributing any portion of payments received from Audibin to any collaborators, co-authors, or other rights holders in accordance with any applicable agreements among them. Audibin shall have no liability to any third party for the Account Holder's failure to make such distributions.
Prior to receiving any payment from Audibin, you must complete and submit applicable tax forms, including IRS Form W-9 (for U.S. persons) or IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (for non-U.S. persons). Audibin will issue IRS Form 1099-MISC or other required tax documents for payments that meet applicable reporting thresholds. You are solely responsible for reporting and paying all taxes on amounts received from Audibin.
Artist payments will be issued on a quarterly basis, generally within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, subject to any minimum payout threshold then in effect under Audibin policy. Monthly artist allocations accrued during the quarter will be included in the applicable quarterly payout, and balances below the applicable threshold may be carried forward until the threshold is met. Audibin reserves the right to modify the payment schedule, payout threshold, and related administrative procedures upon reasonable advance notice.
Audibin reserves the right to modify its compensation structure, rates, and methodology upon sixty (60) days' advance written notice to Artists. Your continued use of the platform following such notice constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.
