MOOD Platform - Terms and Conditions of Service
The following are the Terms & Conditions agreed to by you (”You” or “Practitioner”) and Moonshot, LLC (”We’) for the use of the Mood Virtual Reality Publishing Platform.
1
Introduction
Please read these Terms and Conditions of Service ("Terms") carefully as they will govern your use of the Mood Virtual Reality Publishing Platform (”App”) and your participation in Mood’s Expert Practitioner Revenue Sharing Program as described in the Terms below.
​
The App offers you the capabilities necessary to create and publish your own VR experiences based on audio recordings of your meditations, teachings, or practices.
We will be adding new functionality from time to time for which the same Terms will apply.
​
By signing up for, accessing, or otherwise using the App, you agree to comply with these Terms.
2
Use of the App
Use of the App is restricted to Professional Practitioners (”Practitioners”) in any field focused on the improvement of mental wellbeing, including meditation, psychology, sound & color therapy, music, neurofeedback, and any similar field.
​
A Professional Practitioner is someone whose principal professional activity is related to the improvement of mental well-being and emotional fitness.
​
When you join you will be asked for proof of professional focus and any relevant credentials. Usually, the information on your Linkedin profile or the Bio section of your site/blog/social media usually will suffice.
​
NOTE:
​
Four our CLOSED BETA we are onboarding practitioners on an invitation-only basis.
​
If you’d like to participate in the BETA you can add your name to our registry here.

Revenue Sharing
We have established our expert practitioner Revenue Sharing Program (“RSP”) to allow professionals like you (“Publisher”) to create content based on your IP in completely new & very powerful medium: Virtual Reality.
The objective of the RSP is to distribute the revenues resulting from the sale of subscription or other types of content (e.g. courses, live events) among all participating Publishers.
​
Revenues generated will be distributed among all participating Publishers with live content on the App as follows:
​
-
We first calculate the amount to be distributed each month by subtracting from the total revenue the money we collect but don’t get to keep. This includes payments for things like taxes, credit card processing fees, and billing (“Net Revenue”).
-
We will distribute 50% of Net Revenues to the participating Publishers with live experiences on our App (”Publisher Revenues”) and retain the remaining 45%
-
We will distribute the Publisher Revenues based on each Publisher’s share of usage in the content library during any particular month (i.e. streamshare)
-
We calculate share of usage by tallying the total number of sessions streamed in the App in a given month and determining what proportion of those sessions were people using the content of each Publisher
-
To be counted, a session needs to last at least 3 minutes
​
NOTE:
​
During the CLOSED BETA, consumer access to the App will be free and no subscription revenue will be generated.
​
You will be notified when the APP starts charging subscriptions for access.

Content Guidelines
We welcome any type of content that is specifically created to promote mental wellbeing, incrase emotional fitness, or helps improve overall perception of quality of life.
​
We preview every piece of content to be published in our App and reserve the right to not publish any content that we deem does not fall within the above description.
​
We don’t allow any content containing any form of language that is promotional, political, can be considered hate speech, is overtly sexual, or addresses topics that can be triggering.
​
If your content is based on a specialized practice such as Psychology, Neuroscience, or a particular method (eg. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), you will be required to provide any associated requisite credentials.
5
App Distribution
We will distribute our App through any VR platform that offers monetization opportunities through the sale of subscriptions. These are platforms such as Quest, Steam, Sony PSVR or HTC Vive.
6
Payment
We will report your revenue share on a monthly basis no later than the 10th calendar day of the following month.
​
As long as your revenues exceed $10.00 we will process your payment through a platform such as Paypal or Venmo.
​
Payments will be issued on the last business day of the following month. The funds you will receive will be net of any fees charged by the payment platforms.
​
If your revenues are less than $10.00 they will be rolled over in your account until such time as the total balance exceeds this threshold.
​
Make sure you complete your payment details in your account to be able to receive payments.
​
NOTE:
During CLOSED BETA, no payment details will be collected. Once we start charging subscriptions you will be notified to fill them out in order to receive payment.
