Acceptance

By uploading content to Lovorecord, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or label, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

Relationship

This Agreement creates a non-exclusive distribution arrangement. Lovorecord acts as your distributor, not your record label, publisher, or manager. You retain full ownership of your content and may work with other distributors.

Marketing Rights

You grant us the right to use your name, likeness, and content for promotional purposes related to our services. This includes featuring your music in marketing materials and platform showcases.

Ownership Warranty

You represent and warrant that you own or control all rights necessary to distribute the content, including master recordings, compositions, samples, and artwork.

If your content contains samples from other recordings, you warrant that all samples are properly cleared and licensed for commercial distribution. You are solely responsible for sample clearance.

You warrant that your content does not infringe upon any third-party copyrights, trademarks, rights of publicity, or other intellectual property rights.

Section 04

Territories & Platforms

Worldwide Distribution

Unless you specify otherwise, we will distribute your content worldwide to all available territories. You may exclude specific territories through your account settings.

Platform Selection

We distribute to 150+ digital music services. You may select which platforms receive your content. Some platforms have additional requirements or restrictions.

Platform Terms

Each DSP has its own terms of service. By distributing through Lovorecord, you agree to comply with the terms of each platform receiving your content.

Content Approval

DSPs retain the right to reject content that violates their guidelines. We are not responsible for platform-level rejections or removals.

Section 05

Royalties & Payments

Revenue Collection

We collect royalties from DSPs on your behalf. Royalties are reported monthly and reflect earnings from streams, downloads, and other monetization as reported by platforms.

Commission Structure

Commission rates depend on your subscription plan: Free tier (20% commission), Pro (10% commission), Rise (5% commission), Label (5% commission). Pro and above plans keep significantly more earnings.

Payment Schedule

Royalties are paid monthly, approximately 45-60 days after the end of each reporting period. Minimum payout threshold is $10 USD (or equivalent). Pro members can access instant payouts.

Payment Methods

Payments can be made via bank transfer, PayPal, or other supported methods. You are responsible for any fees charged by payment processors and for tax obligations on your earnings.

Section 06

Term & Termination

Subscription Term

Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled. You may cancel at any time through your account settings.

Content Removal

Upon termination or at your request, we will initiate removal of your content from DSPs. Removal typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on platform processing times.

Post-Termination Royalties

We will continue to collect and pay royalties for streams/downloads that occurred before content removal. Final royalty payments will be made within 90 days of termination.

Termination for Cause

We may terminate this Agreement immediately if you breach these terms, engage in fraud, or upload infringing content. Serious violations may result in forfeiture of unpaid royalties.

Section 07

Liability & Indemnification

Limitation of Liability

Lovorecord's liability is limited to the total fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding any claim. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages.

Platform Actions

We are not responsible for actions taken by DSPs, including content rejection, removal, or disputes. Platform-specific issues should be addressed directly with those platforms.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Lovorecord harmless from claims arising from your content, including copyright infringement, defamation, or violation of third-party rights.
