The Fine Print.

At wearecoral, our mission is to support a thriving music ecosystem. We provide a platform that makes it easy for you to select and voluntarily contribute to the artists you love.

By using wearecoral, you acknowledge that your contribution is voluntary and given to artists without any obligation or expectation of receiving anything in return.

We are committed to being intentional, transparent, and fair in our operations. We believe in fostering a collaborative community and actively seeking feedback to continuously improve our platform. Our goal is to create a dynamic, evolving system that responds to the needs of the music community.

By working together, we can build a strong support system for music that makes a lasting impact. We value open dialogue and encourage everyone to participate in shaping the future of wearecoral. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us.

wearecoral is a platform designed to nurture music and culture through direct contributions from users like you. The platform allows you to build corals. A coral is your personal collection of artists you back with a recurring voluntary contribution. Each month as the coral is processed, the contribution is distributed to the Nominated Artists as per the terms of this agreement. Our collective contributions give artists the ability to prioritise creating music.

By accessing the wearecoral the user acknowledges the receipt and review of these terms and conditions and expressly agrees to be bound in contract with wearecoral Pty Ltd by these terms and conditions.

These terms incorporate the wearecoral Common Terms, which hold the provisions shared across everything wearecoral runs, including the relationship of the parties, confidentiality, intellectual property, statutory records, limitation of liability, indemnity, dispute resolution, the Australian Consumer Law, and general terms such as governing law. By accepting these terms you also accept the Common Terms. Where these terms and the Common Terms conflict, these terms prevail for your contributions, to the extent of the inconsistency.

b. All contributions to artists must be made by wearecoral.

I. Make all reasonable endeavours to establish an agreement with the artist so the contribution can be made in accordance with the user's directions.
II. Until such an agreement is established, the contribution is held in the segregated account. The contribution does not expire and remains available to the artist if and when they elect to receive contributions via wearecoral.
III. If the artist elects not to receive the contribution, wearecoral Pty Ltd will allocate the payment to the other artists the user has nominated, in the same proportion nominated by the user, or if the user has nominated no other artists, will use its best endeavours to refund the contribution to the user.
