Our designated agent for notice of alleged copyright infringement on the Services is: copyright@landr.com. Please read our Copyrights Policy for further information on how we handle copyright infringements.

Our Samples Service

The LANDR Samples Service is a curated royalty-free sample library that allows you to download certain audio files, sound recordings, samples, one-shots, single hits, beats, loops, and similar items (collectively, “Samples”) from our Sample site or any other support, so you can use it for your projects, as well as for getting inspiration for new ideas. You are allowed to use the Samples as long as you follow these terms (including our Acceptable Use and Fair Usage Policy).

To download a Sample and use it under these terms, you will need to redeem a fixed number of credits (“Credits”). You may obtain Credits as part of your subscription or as an add-on (please see our Pricing Terms for more details). We may also, from time to time, offer some of the Samples for free and/or for a limited period, including via free trials or other offers (which may be subject to specific terms and conditions). You need Credits only to download Samples; you don’t need to redeem any Credit for previewing or auditioning Samples or to save them for future use in your list (as long as you don’t download them). Once you redeem Credits for a Sample, you can download it again as many times as you wish without redeeming any additional Credits. If you download a faulty Sample file, you may request a repaired or corrected Sample file; alternatively, we may at our discretion decide to provide you with a refund of your Credits.

We want to make your Samples experience as smooth and easy as possible. Therefore, under the terms of this Agreement, you’re given a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable, licence (i) to reproduce the Samples, with or without modifications, solely for their incorporation into your Recordings (as defined below), and (ii) to reproduce, distribute, transmit, publicly perform or display, communicate and make available to the public, and to otherwise use the Samples (with or without modifications thereto) solely as so incorporated into such Recordings, in all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created, including for commercial purposes (the “Samples Licence”).

For clarity, (i) this Samples Licence allows you to modify, reproduce, distribute, transmit, publicly perform or display, communicate and make available to the public, and otherwise use the Samples, but only to the extent they are used as part of your Recordings, and (ii) please be aware that it is your responsibility to own or have obtained all rights for any of your Recordings that incorporates our Samples.

Your music is yours. This means that you keep the ownership of all your intellectual property rights in the Recording of your musical work that uses any Sample, but please take note that this doesn’t mean you own any rights on any Sample, even when they are incorporated in your Recordings.

Keep in mind, that this Samples Licence does not allow you to use the Samples in any way that is not listed above, including but not limited to: (i) use any Samples on a stand-alone basis or in isolation, such as sound effects or as loops, (ii) sell, loan, lend, share, give, broadcast, rent, assign or otherwise distribute, transfer, provide or make available to anyone any Samples except as incorporated into your Recording, (iii) use any Sample for the creation of a sound or sample library or as a sound or sample library or part thereof, including for any kind of synthesizer, virtual instrument, sample library, sample-based product or other musical instruments, or (iv) use any Sample for the purpose of training machine learning models, or for any form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) development, including but not limited to the generation, synthesis, or manipulation of audio, MIDI or any other related content. This restriction applies to all forms of AI-based technologies, algorithms, or systems that involve data processing, learning, or content creation, whether for commercial or non-commercial use, or; (v) sell, loan, lend, share, give, broadcast, rent, assign or otherwise distribute, transfer, provide or make available to anyone any Sample or any part of the Sample on a stand-alone basis or as repackaged into audio samples, sound libraries or sound effects, except as permitted by us. Otherwise, you are allowed to use any Sample however you would like, as long as you incorporate the Sample in your Recording and follow the terms under this Sample Licence.

In addition, (i) any author, composer, and performer that have produced the Samples have waived any moral right held by them to allow you to exercise the rights licensed above, and (ii) any author, composer, performer, producer, or maker that have produced the Samples have given up any right to collect royalties from you for your use of the Samples, whether directly or through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory licensing scheme or under any applicable tariff. This means that you can use the Samples without concerns about paying royalties or other copyright issues related to the original producers, as long as you follow the terms under this Samples Licence.

However, please respect that you may not use the name (including any pseudonym), image, or likeness of any artist (such as an author, composer, performer, or producer) or maker that has produced a Sample in any way without that artist’s, maker’s or our prior written permission. For example, you may not include the term “Featuring” with the name of an artist associated with a Sample in the title of your Recording. Nothing in this Samples Licence gives you any permission to assert or imply that you are, or that your use of the Samples is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by, us, any artist that has produced a Sample, or anyone else.

It is your responsibility to retain all information provided with the Samples as part of the Metadata (as defined below) of any Recording that incorporates our Samples.

Please understand, that if you do not comply with this Samples Licence, you will likely be at the risk of giving up your rights thereunder automatically. If this happens, your rights will be automatically reinstated when your failure to comply is resolved within 30 days of your discovery of the violation; or upon reinstatement by us.

For clarity, nothing herein affects any right we or anyone having rights in a Sample may have to seek remedies for your non-compliance with this licence.

The information provided with our Samples may include links to third-party websites. By using these links, you are leaving our Services. We do not monitor these links, and you use them at your own risk. We are not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of any such dealings you may have on or through a third-party website or as a result of the presence of any third-party advertising on the Services also as stated in our main Agreement.

We have no obligation to monitor, filter, remove or otherwise review any Sample, content, other information, and materials provided by third parties (but we may at our sole discretion). We do not warrant in any way that the Samples, and any content or other information and materials provided by third parties through our Sample Service are accurate, complete, legal, non-infringing, reliable, current, or error-free.

We may decide, at our sole discretion, to remove any Samples from our Services, or to make any other changes to our Samples Service.

In addition to the terms of this Samples License, your use of our Sample Service is subject to the terms of our main Agreement and its related policies.

Our Plugins Service

The LANDR Plugins Service is a curated plugin platform that allows you to download certain plugins, presets, expansions, and/or similar items from third-party developers (collectively, “Plugins”) from our Plugin site or any other support, so you can use it for your projects. You are allowed to use the Plugins as long as you follow these terms (the "Plugin Terms", the terms of the main Agreement (including our Acceptable Use and Fair Usage Policy).

The Plugins are being delivered to you AS IS and we make no warranties or representations other than as expressly stated. We have no obligation to monitor, filter, remove or otherwise review any Plugin, content, other information, and materials provided by third parties (but we may at our sole discretion). We do not warrant in any way that the Plugins, and any content or other information and materials provided by third parties through our Service are accurate, complete, legal, non-infringing, reliable, current, or error-free.

We will do our best to assist you with problems or issues that you have with a Plugin, including making reasonable requests to its third-party developer. However, please understand that some problems and issues can only be addressed by its third-party developer, and we cannot assure you that we will solve all problems and issues you might have with a Plugin.

Plugins may be provided with different, specific end-user licence terms from their respective third-party developers’ end. When this happens, such end-users licence terms will govern your use of the Plugins. If no end-user licence terms are provided with a Plugin, then you are granted a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual (subject to full payment of the rent-to-own payment plan or the full price, as explained below) licence to perform, display and use the Plugin on any compatible device owned or controlled by you.

We offer you different options to pay the purchase price of a Plugin, such as paying the full price immediately or paying over several months through our rent-to-own payment plan (but it’s also possible that only one of these options is offered). If you opt for our rent-to-own payment plan, then you are acquiring a month-to-month licence that will remain valid as long as you continue your monthly payments. Once you’ve paid all your monthly payments, your monthly licence will become a perpetual licence. If you interrupt your monthly payments, you will lose your monthly licence and your Plugin will become inoperable until you restart your monthly payments. Payment is due by any of the methods described on our Website at the date you place your order. All payments due to us shall become due immediately on termination of the license.

We may offer free trials for Plugins, which may be subject to specific terms and conditions that will be made available to you with the relevant offering.

We will immediately charge the full price of your purchase or your monthly or annual Premium subscription fee (as selected by you during purchase) to the credit card included in your Account. Of course, if you are benefiting from a free trial period, we will wait until the end of the free trial period before charging you (as per the terms and conditions of any such free trial period).

If you select our rent-to-own payment plan, we will automatically bill your credit card each month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your rent-to-own payment plan. In the event your rent-to-own payment plan begins on a day not contained in a given month or year, we will bill your credit card on the last day of such month or year. For example, if your rent-to-own payment plan began on January 31st, February 28th is the next time your credit card would be billed. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary for reasons that include differing amounts due to promotional offers or changes in the amount of applicable sales tax, and you authorize us to charge your credit card for such varying amounts. We may also periodically authorize your credit card in anticipation of account or related charges. All charges are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.

You may stop your rent-to-own payment plan for a Plugin at any time by navigating to the My Plugins page on the Website. It will become effective at the end of your then-current billed month, at which time your licence will end and you will not have the right to use the Plugin anymore. You may continue your rent-to-own payment in the future provided that the Plugin is still offered on our Plugins Services under a rent-to-own payment plan. If you continue your rent-to-own payment plan, then all payments made by you prior to your cancellation will be applied to your rent-to-own payment plan. Please understand that we cannot make any guarantee that if you stop your rent-to-own payment plan, the Plugin will still be available under a rent-to-own payment plan in the future.

We reserve the rights to remove and/or discontinue any Plugins made available under any Subscription plan as well as to stop supporting Plugins sold over time in our absolute discretion.

Please understand that if you do not comply with these Plugins Terms as well as any terms of the main Agreement, you will likely be at risk of giving up your rights to the Plugins automatically. If this happens, your rights may be reinstated when your failure to comply is resolved, at our discretion or the third-party developer's discretion. For clarity, nothing herein affects any right we or the third-party developer (or any other person having rights in a Plugin) may have to seek remedies for your non-compliance with these terms or their own terms related to the Plugins.

The information provided with the Plugins may include links to third-party websites. By using these links, you are leaving our Services. We do not monitor these links, and you use them at your own risk. We are not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of any such dealings you may have on or through a third-party website or as a result of the presence of any third-party advertising on the Services.

We shall not be liable for any defect if: you use the Goods after telling us about the defect; or the defect arises through misuse, or inappropriate storage, of the Goods; or you alter or repair the Goods without our written consent.

Subject to these conditions in this section on “Defects”, if any of the Goods are defective, we shall replace them with another downloadable version. If we comply with this condition we shall have no further liability for any defects.

Fair Trade AI program

If you use our Release Service and decide to join our Fair Trade AI Program ("Fair Trade AI Program"), you give us the right to use your Qualifying Recordings as part of our AI datasets (the "Datasets") which we use or allow third parties to use to train AI models and develop and offer AI products and services (the "AI Products").

"Qualifying Recordings" means only and exclusively recordings (and any related metadata) for which you own any and all relevant rights, including 100% sound recording rights (including any master rights and any so-called neighboring rights) and 100% publishing rights (including mechanical rights performance rights and lyrics) for the World and for which you agree to waive any and all so-called moral rights that may exist in or in connection with the recordings.

For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example, Qualifying Recordings exclude:

a) cover songs;

b) songs using samples;

c) songs in the public domain or including elements in the public domain; and/or

d) songs that are represented by either a publisher, a record label or any collecting society (e.g. SOCAN/ASCAP, etc) whether in whole or in part are not eligible for the Fair Trade AI Program and you shall not opt them into the program. For this reason, if you are signed to a publisher or a label or you are affiliated with any collecting society, the Recordings subject to those agreements will not be eligible to be Qualifying Recordings.

If you opt-in to the Fair Trade AI Program you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, irrevocable* right (*see Opting Out limitations below) and license throughout the World to use the Qualifying Recordings and authorize our collaborators and sub-licensees (our "AI Collaborators") to use the Qualifying Recordings to develop and offer AI Products, including the right to: a) reproduce, convert, store, use and modify, make derivative works, alter and remix the Qualifying Recordings for machine learning, training, improving, modifying, validating, testing and evaluating neural networks in order to build AI models based either in whole, or in part, on the Qualifying Recordings; and b) create, and allow users to create through such AI Models Outputs that may be used for commercial exploitation; c) use the Qualifying Recordings for: i) research and development relating to AI applications; and ii) for internal business purposes related to the development of AI systems and AI Products.

* Opting out: Users may withdraw from future participation by opting-out from the program on their AI settings page at https://app.landr.com/account/ai-settings. However, AI models trained using their Content and any AI outputs will remain unaffected. If you have received an Advanced Payment (defined below), you cannot opt out of the program without repaying or recouping the cash advances received.

We reserve the right to remove certain Qualifying Recordings from the Fair Trade AI Program should we suspect that the eligibility criteria have not been complied with, or if the quality of the files is not adequate and for any other reason where removal would be deemed necessary in our reasonable opinion. We further reserve the right to decide in which Datasets we will include your Qualifying Recordings, so not all available AI Products created from AI models will be using your Qualifying Recordings.

Any ownership of the Qualifying Recordings shall remain solely with you and we shall be entitled to use them within the limits of the license set out in these terms.

The AI models used as part of the Fair Trade AI Program may generate certain sound recordings, which may include full length tracks, samples, one shots, single hits, beats, loops, stems and similar items (and any compositions and/or lyrics embodied therein) created using AI models (the "Outputs"). Between you and us, any ownership of the Outputs as well as any AI models and related data and files including any AI Products shall remain with us or our AI Collaborators as the case may be and subject to any legislative development as to the copyrightability of such Outputs.

We shall be entitled to exploit and to authorize our AI Collaborators to exploit such Outputs during the Term and thereafter including the right to: a) use, dispose, promote, market, sell, distribute, perform, make available, transmit, communicate to the public and deliver the Outputs in any and all media through any and all services whether now existing or thereafter discovered and to allow users to do the same; and b) correct any metadata related to the Qualifying Recordings, both a) and b) without any further payment to you than those specified in the next section.

If you opt-in into the Fair Trade AI Program, you will be entitled to a pro-rata share of 20% of the net revenues actually received by us for the licensing of our Datasets for AI Training purposes, and for the exploitation of the AI Products using a Dataset which includes your Qualifying Recordings, net of any: i) VAT, applicable sales applicable sales taxes; ii) returns, refunds, discounts, rebates, credit card and payment processing fees, credits, chargebacks; and iii) costs related to hosting and third parties costs and direct charges incurred in connection with the development and/or license of AI models. Your pro-rata share will be proportional to the number of Qualifying Recording contributions in the Dataset used to train a given AI model.

So for example, if your Qualifying Recording is one of 10,000 in a specific Dataset used to train an AI model, you will receive 1/10,000th of 20% of the net revenue we receive.

Payouts will be processed directly to your Account every month.

In LANDR's sole discretion, and subject to your Recordings meeting certain criteria that we determine from time to time, we may notify you of the option to receive an early payment of royalties (less a processing fee which shall be a specified percentage of each such advance payment) (an “Advanced Payment”), the amount of which, including such processing fee, shall be determined by LANDR in its sole discretion. In the event LANDR notifies you of the opportunity to receive an Advanced Payment, LANDR will provide notice of the proposed Advanced Payment amount (and the processing fee percentage), in each case. You shall have the option to accept or decline such Advanced Payment, and if accepted, LANDR will make such Advanced Payment in accordance with your approved payment method. Each Advanced Payment (less the processing fee) will be fully recoupable against any income otherwise payable to you hereunder. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason or should you opt-out of the Fair Trade AI Program before LANDR recoups any Advanced Payment, LANDR will be entitled to either keep your account active and collect any resulting income received by LANDR until such Advanced Payment is fully recouped by LANDR or to ask for a repayment of any outstanding amounts.

You represent and warrant that: a) you have the full rights, licenses, consents and authority to grant the rights granted herein in relation to the Qualifying Recordings and that you waive any so-called moral rights connected to the Qualifying Recordings; b) the Qualifying Recordings: i) do not infringe the rights of any third party and are free of any malware and/or viruses or similar damaging software; c) no other rights, licenses, consents, permissions or authorizations are required to be obtained by us, our AI Collaborators and/or any users from any third party to use the Qualifying Recordings and that you own 100% of all any and all rights in the Qualifying Recordings (including any master, neighboring rights and publishing rights); and d) no payments are due by us, our AI Collaborators and/or any users to any third party relating to or in connection with the use of the Qualifying Recordings.

More specifically regarding User Warranties & PRO/CMO Membership, by participating in the Fair Trade AI program, you represent and warrant that:

You have the unrestricted legal right to grant LANDR the rights outlined in this Agreement.
Your Content is not exclusively assigned to any Collective Management Organization (CMO), Performing Rights Organization (PRO), or National Rights Organization (NRO) (including but not limited to ASCAP, BMI, SOCAN, PRS, GEMA, JASRAC) in a way that would prevent LANDR from licensing the Content under this Agreement.

If your Content is registered with a PRO or CMO, you retain the right to grant LANDR a direct license without requiring additional approvals from these entities.

If your Content is subject to an exclusive agreement with a PRO, CMO, or publisher, you must ensure that LANDR’s rights under this Agreement do not conflict with or violate any terms of such agreements. You agree to indemnify LANDR for any claims arising from a breach of this provision.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive any claim to performance, mechanical, synchronization, or any other royalties that may arise from the licensing, sublicensing, or commercial use of AI-generated outputs derived from your Content under this Agreement.

LANDR shall not be required to pay any royalties, fees, or payments to PROs, CMOs, or NROs on your behalf, and you agree that you shall not direct any such entity to collect royalties for LANDR’s use of your Content in AI model training or licensing.

If you later register your Content with a PRO, CMO, or NRO after granting LANDR rights under this Agreement, you agree that such registration shall not retroactively limit LANDR’s rights or create new financial obligations for LANDR.

Our Release Service

Our Release Service allows you to make your Recordings (as defined below) available to digital stores, streaming services, and other digital services and resellers selected by us (“Digital Stores”). The Digital Stores may then offer your Recordings for download, streaming, sync or other form of digital exploitation to their clients (collectively, “Online Exploitations”).

Your Recordings

By a “Recording”, we mean a musical sound or audiovisual recording (including, unless otherwise stated herein, in the case of a sound recording, any music, lyrics, and instrumental and/or vocal performances recorded thereon, including any Samples as may be incorporated therein pursuant to the Samples Licence, as the case may be, and in the case of an audiovisual recording, any sound recording reproduced thereon and any script, direction, music and other works, any likeness and/or voice, and any visual, audiovisual, instrumental and/or vocal performances recorded on such audiovisual recording or any sound recording reproduced thereon), which is uploaded to your LANDR account, and that you ask us to make available to the public or otherwise distribute through our Release Service.

Release to Digital Stores

We will deliver your Recordings to the Digital Stores that you selected, In many instances, you will not be able to select the countries or geographical regions in which your Recordings will be made available. You are authorizing us to make your Recordings available anywhere in the world. Therefore, you must have worldwide rights on your Recordings, including on any music, and instrumental and/or vocal performances recorded thereon; if you do not have all such rights on a Recording (including on any other Recording, on any music or any instrumental, vocal or other performance recorded or reproduced thereon) in any region, you shall not release your Recordings with our Release Service.

Digital Stores may choose not to make available on their services one or more of your Recordings at all or in certain territories (or to remove Recordings at any time) per their policies and practices. We may also decline to distribute (or may remove from Digital Stores) one or more Recordings from any or all Digital Stores if we receive any legal claims regarding the particular Recording(s), if we reasonably believe that any legal claims or issues may arise, if a Recording may violate the terms and conditions of any Digital Store, or for any other reason in our business judgment. And if our agreement with any Digital Store expires or terminates, or if that Digital Store ceases to operate entirely or in a particular territory, then your Recordings will no longer be available through that Digital Store.

By opting into a Digital Store, you warrant to LANDR that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of that Digital Store and that you and your Recordings and other content will comply fully with those terms and conditions.

Each Digital Store will determine its pricing to its respective customers, as well as format or media and other terms on which it offers recordings (including your Recordings) to its customers, at its discretion using monetization strategies such as permanent digital downloads on a pay-per-unit basis or a subscription fee to be able to stream, sync or temporarily download your Recordings along with other recordings. Digital Stores may group Recordings by genre or other designations may create and allow Customers and others to listen to free preview clips of your Recordings. We are not responsible for what Digital Stores do, and by opting into a particular Digital Store, you agree to accept and have your Recordings made available to its Customers following its pricing structure and other practices and policies from time to time, and under its agreement with us (or one of our representatives). Digital Stores calculate Royalties in different manners, and they may change how they calculate Royalties over time. Licensing fees, the deduction for author’s rights, and other fees, as applicable, may be deducted from your Royalties by Digital Stores. Digital Stores determine the retail prices for sound recordings at their sole discretion and may change this pricing without us providing notice to you.

As an exception, if your Recording incorporates a song previously recorded and distributed to the public with the authorization of its copyright owner(s) (a “Cover Song”), we then agree to seek the granting of a licence authorizing its mechanical reproduction on such Recording as part of our Release Service (a “Cover Mechanical Reproductions”) and, provided we are able to obtain such a licence under the standard conditions applicable in each relevant country (a “Cover Song Licence”), (i) we will assume the payment of the royalties payable under such Cover Song Licence for any such Covered Mechanical Reproductions (“Cover Mechanical Royalties”), and (ii) you will be deemed to have obtained the right to reproduce such Cover Song on such Recording for the purpose of our Release Service in any applicable country of the world in respect of which the mechanical reproduction of that Cover Song as part of our Release Service will have been authorized by a copyright collective society entitled to grant such authorization in that other country, excluding Mexico, Brazil, Pakistan and India. To benefit from the above, you shall provide us, simultaneously with the submission of any Recording incorporating a Cover Song, the exact and complete original title of that Cover Song and the exact and complete name of any songwriter having contributed to such Cover Song. We will not release that Recording through our Release Service until we can secure a Cover Song Licence for the Cover Song incorporated in such Recording, at which point we will release that Recording. Should we not be able to secure a Cover Song Licence, we will inform you that we are unable to secure it, in which case the exception outlined in this paragraph will not apply.

Although you can choose the Digital Stores where you want to offer your Recordings, you understand that we must enter into certain agreements with these Digital Stores and that we have sole discretion in deciding with which Digital Stores we conclude agreements, and under what terms and conditions. You understand that the terms of this Agreement will be subject to the agreements that we enter into with the Digital Stores.

We will try to provide your Recordings to the selected Digital Stores as quickly as possible. Please understand however that it can take anywhere between a few hours to several weeks for certain Digital Stores before they make your Recordings available to their clients, and that we do not have any control over the internal process and delays of a Digital Store.

A Digital Store may also decide not to offer (or remove) some of or all your Recordings in certain or all countries, per their policies and practices. We cannot force them to offer your Recordings. If our agreement with a Digital Store expires or terminates, we will then cease offering your Recordings to that Digital Store. If this happens, we will notify you as soon as we can.

Use of Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Connection with our Release Service

In connection with your use of LANDR’s AI Cover Art Generator, LANDR retains ownership of the outcomes generated by our AI Cover Art Generator until the cover art image is officially utilized for a release through LANDR. Upon release, you obtain full ownership of the cover art. User data is not utilized in the training process of our AI Cover Art Generator. We prioritize privacy and ethical considerations, ensuring that the generation of cover art remains independent of individual user data. This approach guarantees confidentiality and maintains the integrity of your personal information while still providing high-quality AI-generated artwork

In connection with the distribution of content created using Artificial Intelligence technologies, whether now known or hereinafter developed (hereinafter “AI Technologies”) and distributing the results of same via LANDR, as per our Acceptable Use and Fair Usage Policy and our corporate position on the fair use of AI technologies to create content, we reserve the right to refuse to distribute some or all of your content, at our sole discretion.

If we suspect that you are solely using generative AI Technologies to create content, we also reserve the right to request clarification on your creative processes. This may involve a review of your documentation and software used as well as any other process we may deem reasonable to ascertain your use of AI Technologies in the creation of certain Recordings. If we find that you have been infringing on our fair usage policy, we reserve the right to suspend your distribution catalog and product access for a six-month period, or to terminate your account, at our sole discretion.

Digital Release Service - Payments

We will transfer to you one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Income we receive from Digital Stores. “Net Income” means the actual amounts that we receive from Digital Stores directly attributable to the Online Exploitation of your Recordings, less any refunds, taxes, tariffs, fees, royalties (other than Covered Mechanical Royalties), third parties fees or other charges related to the Online Exploitation of your Recordings, including currency conversion fees or payment processing fees incurred in the process to transfer you such money (such as PayPal).

In connection with the commission of royalties to be retained by LANDR for those users who use our free service or who choose to proceed through our “a la carte” (fee per release) service, please note that:

Users of LANDR’s Release Service and who have paid for their release “à la carte” (fee per release) are subject to a fifteen per cent (15%) commission on their royalties on their tracks that are active on LANDR''s Services; and

Users of LANDR’s Release Service who have been able to release content via the subscription service , and who haven’t renewed their subscription will stay live on streaming services, but will relinquish to LANDR a $3 monthly fee and 15% of Net Income received by LANDR, as soon as it is received, for as long as they are not subscribed, as a means to compensate for the cost of running our Release Service. As soon as such users resubscribe to LANDR, LANDR will stop taking any commission on Net Income received from that moment on. Users will not be able to retroactively retrieve royalties earned while they were unsubscribed.

If you have opted into and registered for our separate Content ID service, which uses YouTube's ContentID service and other methods to detect videos that contain your Recordings, we will deduct 20% (for Premium subscribers) or 30% (for non-Premium users) from Net Income paid to us attributable to videos that exploit your Recordings that were detected using these methods.

We will use our best efforts to post to your account your Net Income within fifteen (15) business days of receipt. Please understand that there will usually be a delay of between forty-five (45) and ninety (90) days between the day a Digital Store streams or downloads your Recording and the day we receive payment of your Net Income.

Once the Net Income has been credited to your account, you will be able to withdraw all or any portion thereof at your discretion. You will be responsible for any bank fees (including currency conversion fees) or other charges related to such withdrawals. If you owe us any amounts, we have the right to deduct all or a portion of such amounts from any Net Income otherwise payable to you.

You understand and accept that we will pay no interest on any Net Income balance in your account, even if we might receive interest or earnings on such balance. In addition, if you make your music jointly available with any person participating in the creation or performance of any musical work and/or lyrics included on your Recording and/or in the production or making of your Recordings (such as any composers, lyricists, musicians, singers, music producers, sound recording makers or others), you will be solely responsible for registering their splits on LANDR, and subject to the following paragraph, you will be solely responsible for making any payment to any such person as may be due in consideration for any such rights. e

For the avoidance of doubt, you shall not be responsible for (i) any clearances of any rights and payments related to any Samples incorporated in your Recordings per the Samples Licence, (ii) nor for the clearance of any rights and payments to any author and composer of any Cover Song as may be incorporated in your Recordings pursuant to any Cover Song Licence.

We shall be entitled to withhold any payments into your Account in the event of any suspected and/or alleged infringement of your Recordings of any third party rights as well in the event of any suspected fraudulent activity or possible breach of these Terms including the main Agreement. Digital Stores may have the right to do the same in which case we will not receive any or part of your Net Income.

We have the right to rely on accounting, usage, and other statements received from the Digital Stores for all purposes, but we have no obligation to audit or otherwise contest the income calculations or statements given to us by the Digital Stores. If you ask us to proceed to an audit of a Digital Store and we accept, at our sole discretion, to proceed, you will be responsible for all audit fees (and we can ask you to pay us in advance or elect in our discretion to deduct such audit fees from the Net Income in your account). Any objection relating to the Net Income calculations and payment, or any lawsuit arising therefrom must be made (and any lawsuit commenced) no later than one (1) year after the date the relevant Net Income is posted to your account, and you hereby waive any longer statute of limitations that may be permitted by law, in any jurisdiction.

If we receive a lump-sum payment from a Digital Store that is not attributable to any particular user account(s) or specific recordings from any particular user account(s), we will, in our sole discretion, determine if, and to what extent, any portion of such monies shall be payable hereunder to each user. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, we may determine to distribute such monies (i) on a pro-rata basis based on the number of users with whom LANDR has distribution agreements; (ii) in its discretion among users based on historical earnings and/or proxy formula determined solely by LANDR; or (iii) based upon the amount the Digital Store credits to us for your Recordings subsequent to the payment to us.

Metadata

Digital Stores require that we provide certain information with your Recordings, mostly in the form of metadata, such as artwork images, artist name, logo, trademarks, service marks, song and album titles, biographical and other information including songwriters and publishers names ("Metadata"). You must own or have the right to share all necessary rights in any such information that you provide and you shall ensure that such Metadata is correct at all times when you are using our Services. We will ask for this information when you select to send a Recording to a Digital Store. You are responsible for providing us with all the required information, and if we or a Digital Store request that you correct any error, you correct it as soon as possible. A failure to correct these errors could delay or prevent the release of your Recordings to the requested Digital Stores.

Universal Products Codes and International Standard Recording Codes

An ISRC is required for any Recording released to a Digital Store. Each Recording must have its own ISRC. You will need to provide the ISRC for your Recording when you ask us to release it. If you don’t have an ISRC for your Recording, we can provide one as well as universal product codes (UPC). These codes are provided to you personally and in relation to specific Recordings, and you cannot transfer them to someone else as a stand-alone product but only together with the relevant Recording they are assigned against .

If you ask us to provide an ISRC, it means that you authorize us to use all necessary information (including the identity of the rights owner on whose behalf the ISRC was assigned, and reference Metadata about the recording including the artist name, track title, version, year of first publication, track duration, and other relevant data) and to maintain records of such information.

You cannot ask for an ISRC, nor create a new one using other services if you already have one for your Recording.

Advisory Warnings

You will be responsible for determining the advisory warning status for your Recording, including parental advisory status, and if an advisory is required by applicable law or regulation, or if you otherwise deem it appropriate, you will provide an advisory warning for your Recording when you ask us to release it. You will not deliver via the Digital Release Service a Recording and any artwork, images, lyrics, or other Metadata or material that has been rejected or banned by a competent government authority in the country where we will release your Recording.
