Contributor Agreement

Version hueloom-contributor-agreement-2026-09. This agreement is between you and FLOW FN PTE. LTD. (UEN 202617303Z), a company incorporated in Singapore, which operates Hueloom.io. It applies from the moment you accept it and covers every asset you supply.

1. What you grant us

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, store, preview, promote and distribute the assets you supply, and to grant end-user licences over them to our customers on the terms of the Hueloom.io Asset License.

You keep everything else. You may license, sell or distribute the same asset anywhere else, at any time, including in other libraries and directly to clients. We ask for nothing exclusive and we do not acquire ownership of your work.

This section is the reason the Asset License can say that licences are granted “acting on the authority given by the artist who supplied the work”. Without it that sentence has nothing behind it.

2. What you promise us

These repeat the Artist Terms you accepted when you applied, and they continue to apply:

• You hold, or are authorised to grant, the rights in section 1 for every asset you supply.
• If an asset is produced with a generation service, that service’s own terms permit you to license the output commercially through a third party. A plan allowing personal use only does not.
• You have not registered, and will not register, any asset supplied here with a performing-rights organisation.
• You have not registered, and will not register, any asset supplied here in an automated content-identification system, directly or through a distributor.
• Every asset carries an accurate declaration of how it was made, which we show buyers before they license it.

The last three exist because the cost of getting them wrong lands on a customer who acted in good faith, not on you or on us.

3. How the pool is calculated

For each calendar month we may set aside a share of subscription revenue as an artist pool. The share is fifty per cent of what actually reaches us: gross subscription revenue for the month, less taxes, less actual refunds and chargebacks, and less what the payment processor keeps.

Processing fees are deducted because on a small monthly subscription they are not a rounding error. Our processor charges a percentage plus a fixed amount per charge, and on a $2.99 USD subscription that fixed amount alone is around an eighth of it. A share of gross would be partly a share of money that never arrived. Nothing else is deducted — not hosting, not bandwidth, not any other cost of running the service, and the fee figure for each month comes from the same processor report as the revenue figure.

The pool is divided by what buyers actually licensed, not by asset count. Each subscriber who licensed anything that month carries one unit of weight, split evenly across the artists whose work they licensed. A subscriber who licenses fifty of your assets and none of anyone else’s directs one unit to you; a subscriber who licenses your work and one other artist’s directs half a unit each. Nobody can direct more weight than their own subscription funded.

Your unit total is then multiplied by your tier: founding 1.5×, full 1×, provisional 0.5×, and an applicant tier weighs nothing. Your tier is taken as at the first day of the month, from a dated log, so a promotion or demotion later in the month does not change a period already run.

Only licences issued to paying subscribers count. A trial, a paused subscription and a free licence are all entitlements we honour and none of them is revenue, so none of them funds the pool. Your studio shows all four figures separately, every month, for exactly this reason.

Where the paying subscribers who licensed anything are fewer than the paying subscribers in total, the unclaimed remainder stays with us rather than being shared among those who did. Dividing it would make one licensed unit worth more than the subscription that paid for it.

4. What we tell you, and what you can check

When a month is closed we publish, for that month, the size of the pool and the total weight across all artists. With your own figures — which your studio shows — those two numbers are enough to reproduce your amount exactly. We publish them so that the calculation is checkable rather than merely asserted.

A closed month is never recalculated. The total weight is shared across every artist, so correcting one artist’s past month would silently rewrite everyone else’s statement for it. Anything we get wrong is corrected forward, as an adjustment in a later month, and said so.

5. Payment

Amounts are recorded in USD and accrue to you as each month closes.

There is no automated payout and no payment schedule. When your accrued balance reaches a minimum of $50.00 USD, you may request payment and we will arrange it directly with you. Below that it continues to accrue. We will tell you how we can pay and what each method costs before you choose one; transfer fees charged by the method you choose come out of the amount sent. Those are the fees on the way out, and they are separate from the processing fees deducted before the pool is calculated in section 3.

We say this plainly because the alternative is worse: the software can record what you are owed to the cent, and it cannot move money, and an agreement that implied otherwise would be promising something no part of this system does.

Taxes on what you receive are yours. We do not withhold, and we do not file on your behalf.

6. What the pool is worth

The pool is a share of actual subscription revenue. If there are no subscribers, it is nothing. At one hundred subscribers it is on the order of a few dollars per artist per month.

This paragraph is in the agreement on purpose. A revenue share is easy to describe in a way that sounds like income, and at the scale this catalogue operates at today it is not income. Supply work here because you want the catalogue to exist and the terms to be fair, not because you are counting on the money.

7. Nothing is forfeited

Once an amount is recorded as owed to you, it is owed. We do not withhold it as a penalty, set it off against anything, or cancel it because you left, were removed, or stopped supplying work. If we believe you have breached this agreement, our remedies are the ones in section 8 and any legal claim we may have — not keeping money already earned.

8. Ending it

Either of us may end this agreement at any time, by notice to the other. You can also simply stop supplying work.

When it ends, we stop taking new work from you and we stop offering your assets to new customers. Licences already issued continue. A buyer who licensed your asset keeps that licence and keeps being able to download the file, and that does not change because you left, because a release was archived, or because your account was suspended. That is how the software is actually built, and it is the only arrangement that is fair to somebody who has already paid.

Two things do stop delivery: a release we have rejected, and an asset under a rights hold while a claim against it is being examined. Both are decisions about the work, not about you.

Amounts already accrued remain payable under section 5.

9. Claims against your work

If someone claims an asset infringes their rights, we may place it under a rights hold while we look into it, which takes it out of the catalogue and stops delivery. We will tell you the basis of the claim. We will not give you the claimant’s identity unless we are required to. You will tell us what you know, and give us any evidence of your rights that you hold.

10. Changes to this agreement

This agreement carries a version, and your acceptance records which version you accepted. A later version does not change what you agreed to. If we publish a new version we will tell you, and continuing to supply work after that means accepting it.

11. Law

This agreement is governed by the laws of Singapore, and the courts of Singapore have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from it.
