What Kind Of Contract Do I Have With iMusician?
The Terms of Service for Digital Distribution are a licensing agreement that applies to each recording included in any release you pay for and submit to our team, whether it’s a single, EP, or album. In this agreement:
- You are the rights holder or legal representative of the recordings in your release. You don’t need to be the original creator of the copyright, but you must have the legal authority to administer the rights for the recordings (contracts, licenses, etc.).
- By submitting a release, you’re guaranteeing that you hold the necessary rights to distribute the recordings.
Failing to demonstrate that you are the legitimate rights holder or legal representative of the recordings you submit to us constitues a violation of our terms of service. To avoid any issues, please take the time to go through the relevant sections of our FAQ before submitting your music to us.
Is this License Agreement Exclusive?
No, the license is non-exclusive and transferable. This means that you are free to establish additional deals with other aggregators for the same release but you cannot distribute the same release on the same platforms through multiple distributors simultaneously.
Remember, it is your responsibility to ensure that the other agreements you may have do not conflict with ours. If we conclude that a release is being distributed on the same stores through another service, we will have to terminate the agreement and take down the release with no possibility for a refund.
How To Terminate The Agreement
If you wish to terminate the licensing agreement for a specific release, you can request a takedown from the iMusician dashboard. If you wish to terminate the overall contract with iMusician, you must close your account.
Physical Copies of the Contract
We do not issue physical copies of your distribution contract. Your agreement with iMusician is fully outlined in our Terms & Conditions. If you are asked to provide any proof of your affiliation with our services, you can present:
- A link to our Terms & Conditions.
- An invoice from one of your iMusician purchases.
