Podcast Host Terms

Manglz Podcast Hub

Version 1.0 · Effective November 2, 2026

These Podcast Host Terms (“Terms”) are an agreement between Manglz LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Company”), and each member who is given podcast access on Manglz (“Host”). A Host accepts these Terms by checking the box and clicking “I agree” in Manglz. No paper signature is required.

1. Purpose

The Company operates the Manglz Podcast Hub at Manglz.com, where Hosts produce their own shows. These Terms govern producing a Show on the Hub, distributing it to other platforms, and sharing the money it earns. They apply in addition to the Manglz Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. If they conflict on a podcasting matter, these Terms control.

2. Definitions

Show: A podcast run on the Hub at its manglz.com/podcast link, including its name, artwork, and branding.
Show Owner: The Host who owns a Show on the Hub. A co-host is a Host who helps run a Show they do not own.
Episodes: Every live broadcast, recording, replay, audio file, and video file of a Show made on or through Manglz.
Clips: Short excerpts, highlights, and compilations made from Episodes.
Show Feed: A Show’s RSS feed, hosted by the Company, which podcast platforms read to list the Show and its Episodes.
Host Channels: Accounts the Host owns on outside platforms, such as a Show’s own YouTube channel.
Manglz Channels: Accounts the Company owns on outside platforms, such as the Manglz YouTube channel (@manglzofficial).
Net Revenue: Payments the Company actually receives in connection with a Show, less only (a) refunds and chargebacks, (b) taxes collected for or paid to government authorities, and (c) third-party payment-processing and platform fees listed in the monthly statement. No other costs, including the Company’s operating expenses, are deducted.
Company-Sold Advertising: Advertising or sponsorship that the Company finds, negotiates, manages, and places in or around a Show.
Host-Sold Sponsorship: A sponsorship the Host finds and negotiates directly.
Third-Party Platform Revenue: Payments an outside platform actually makes to the Company for a Show, such as a share of paid subscriptions. Free listings and free listens generate no payments, and the Company does not promise any.

3. Service Levels

Every Show starts at the Distribution Partner level. A Show moves to the Managed Network level only when the Company and the Show Owner agree in writing, including by email or an in-app confirmation.

Distribution Partner: The Company hosts the Show on the Hub, provides the studio, publishes the Show Feed, and distributes the Show to outside platforms.
Managed Network: Everything in Distribution Partner, plus the Company seeks sponsorships for the Show, produces Clips, and markets the Show.

4. Studio Access

The Company gives the Host access to the Manglz podcast studio, including live broadcasting, recording, editing, clips, and the publishing center.
Co-hosts must be approved by the Company and must accept these Terms.
The Company may update, change, or discontinue studio features at any time.

5. Host Obligations

The Host agrees to:

Premiere each new Episode on Manglz.com, live or by upload, at least twenty-four (24) hours before posting the full Episode anywhere else, unless the Company agrees to an exception in writing, including by email. The Show Feed and uploads made automatically by the Company do not count as posting elsewhere.
Mention Manglz.com in each Episode and include the Episode’s Manglz link in any description posted elsewhere.
Follow the Manglz Terms of Use, Community Guidelines, and Privacy Policy, and the rules of each platform the Show is distributed to.
Mark Episodes that contain explicit content as explicit.

6. Content Standards

The Host is responsible for the content of the Host’s Shows, including statements made by co-hosts and guests.
The Host shall not use music, video, images, or other material the Host does not have the right to use. Unlicensed music can cause takedowns and channel strikes on outside platforms.
The Host shall obtain each guest’s consent to be recorded and distributed.
The Company may remove, hide, or decline to distribute any Episode or Clip that violates these Terms, the law, or the rules of a platform.

7. Rights and Ownership

The Host keeps ownership of the Host’s Shows and original content, subject to the license in this Section.
The Host grants the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license, while these Terms are in effect and as provided in Section 13, to host, stream, record, store, transcribe, caption, edit, archive, display, distribute, and promote the Episodes on Manglz.com, in the Manglz app, and through the Show Feed to podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible, iHeartRadio, Pandora, SiriusXM, YouTube, YouTube Music, Pocket Casts, Deezer, TuneIn, Castbox, and Podcast Index, and to place advertising in and around the Episodes as provided in Section 9.
The Host grants the Company the right to create Clips and publish them on Manglz.com and on Manglz Channels, with credit to the Show and a link back to it. Clips the Company posts on Manglz Channels will include the Company’s own editing, commentary, or compilation.
The Company may use the Host’s name, likeness, voice, and biography, and the Show’s name and artwork, to promote the Show, the Hub, and Manglz.
The Company owns Manglz.com, the Manglz app, the Manglz name and brand, and all Manglz Channels.

8. Distribution

The Company will host and publish each Show Feed and submit it to podcast platforms under the Company’s platform accounts.
The Host may connect Host Channels in the Manglz publishing center and authorizes the Company to upload finished Episodes to those Host Channels automatically.
Free listings and free listens on outside platforms do not generate payments. Outside platforms pay only through their own programs and on their own terms, and some programs require the platform’s own hosting. The Company does not guarantee that any outside platform will accept, list, rank, keep, or pay for a Show.

9. Revenue Sharing

Net Revenue from a Show is divided as follows. Each dollar is counted in only one category; if more than one category could apply, the most specific one controls.

Tips, paid subscriptions, and paid content on Manglz.com and in the Manglz app: Host 80%, Company 20%.
Company-Sold Advertising: Host 50%, Company 50%. This applies only where the Company finds the advertiser, negotiates the deal, manages the campaign, and places the advertising.
Host-Sold Sponsorships: Host 90%, Company 10%, for sponsorships that run in Episodes distributed through the Hub. The Host must disclose every sponsorship to the audience as required by law.
Third-Party Platform Revenue: Host 80%, Company 20% at the Distribution Partner level; Host 70%, Company 30% at the Managed Network level.
Host Channels: Host 100%.
Manglz Channels, including Clips posted there: Company 100%.

Example: if an outside platform pays the Company $7.00 from a $10.00 subscription, Net Revenue is $7.00. At 80/20, the Host receives $5.60 and the Company receives $1.40.

Amounts owed for a Show are paid to its Show Owner, who is responsible for any split with co-hosts.

Launch rates. The 80/20 splits above are introductory launch rates. The Company intends to move them to Host 70%, Company 30% as the Hub grows.

Rate changes. The Company may change any percentage in this Section by giving at least thirty (30) days’ notice under Section 14. A change applies only to Net Revenue received after it takes effect and never reduces amounts already earned.

10. Statements, Payments, and Records

By the tenth (10th) day of each month, the Company will provide a statement for the prior month showing each Show’s receipts by category, the fees deducted, Net Revenue, and the amount owed.
The Company will pay the amount owed by the fifteenth (15th) day of each month, through the Manglz wallet or another method agreed with the Show Owner.
Balances under $25 roll over to the next month and are paid once they reach $25, and in any case when these Terms end.
Once per calendar year, with thirty (30) days’ written notice, the Show Owner may review the Company’s records of the Show’s revenue. If the review shows an underpayment of more than five percent (5%) for the period reviewed, the Company will pay the shortfall and the reasonable cost of the review.
The Host is responsible for the Host’s own taxes and must provide any tax forms the Company requires, such as Form W-9, before payment.

11. Exclusivity

These Terms are non-exclusive. The Host may produce other shows and appear on other platforms, provided the Host follows the premiere requirement in Section 5 for Shows on the Hub.

12. Term and Termination

These Terms begin when the Host accepts them and continue until ended under this Section.
After the first ninety (90) days, the Host may end these Terms at any time with thirty (30) days’ written notice, including by email or in the app. The Company may end them at any time with thirty (30) days’ written notice.
Either party may end these Terms if the other party materially breaches them and does not cure the breach within fifteen (15) days after written notice.
The Company may end these Terms immediately, and suspend studio access, for serious violations, including illegal content, fraud, threats or harassment, or repeated infringement of others’ rights.

13. After Termination

Episodes and Clips published before termination may remain on Manglz.com and on Manglz Channels. On the Show Owner’s written request, the Company will remove the Show’s Episodes from Manglz.com within thirty (30) days.
If a Show leaves the Hub, the Company will, on request, redirect the Show Feed to the Show’s new feed for at least ninety (90) days and give reasonable cooperation in moving the Show’s outside platform listings to its new provider.
Amounts earned before termination will be paid under Section 10.

14. Changes to These Terms

The Company may update these Terms, including the percentages in Section 9. For a material change, the Company will notify Hosts at least thirty (30) days before it takes effect, and a Host must accept the updated Terms to keep using the studio. A Host who does not accept may end these Terms under Section 12 without waiting for the first ninety (90) days to pass. Changes never reduce amounts already earned.

15. Non-Disparagement

The Host agrees not to make negative or disparaging statements regarding Manglz, the Hub, or the Company’s officers, members, agents, or affiliates. Nothing in this Section restricts truthful testimony, the assertion of legal claims, cooperation with government authorities, or any statement protected by law.

16. Indemnification

Each party will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party from claims, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from:

its own breach of these Terms;
material it supplies: for the Host, the content of the Host’s Shows, including statements by co-hosts and guests; for the Company, advertising the Company places and Clips the Company edits; and
its own infringement of any intellectual property, publicity, or privacy right, or its own misconduct.

Neither party is responsible for the other party’s conduct except as stated in this Section.

17. Confidentiality

The Host shall keep confidential any proprietary information disclosed by the Company, including:

Revenue figures and statements
Unreleased features and product plans
Marketing strategies

This obligation survives the end of these Terms.

18. Assignment

The Host may not assign these Terms without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company may assign them to a successor of its business.

19. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey. Venue for any disputes shall exclusively lie in a court of competent jurisdiction in New Jersey.

20. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Manglz Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between the Company and the Host concerning the Hub. A separate signed agreement between the Company and a Host for a specific Show controls over these Terms where they conflict. These Terms do not change any separate Performance and Promotion Agreement.

21. Electronic Acceptance

The Host accepts these Terms electronically by checking the box and clicking “I agree” in Manglz. Electronic acceptance has the same effect as a handwritten signature. The Company keeps a record of each acceptance, including the account, date, time, and version accepted, and the Host can read these Terms at any time at manglz.com/podcast/terms.
