Terms of Service

Last updated 2026. By creating an account you agree to these terms.

Your rights in your music

  • You keep 100% ownership of your masters and compositions. We take no revenue share on any plan.
  • You grant Artist Aligned a non-exclusive license to stream, deliver and promote the recordings you upload for as long as they are live on the platform.
  • You may take a release down at any time. Takedowns propagate to partner platforms on their own schedules.

What you must guarantee

  • You own or control every recording, composition, sample, artwork and voice used in the material you upload.
  • Split declarations are accurate, and every collaborator listed has agreed to the stated share.
  • Any use of AI in a recording is disclosed, and no unlicensed voice or likeness model is used.

Review and moderation

  • Every release is screened before it goes live. Clean submissions publish automatically; flagged ones are reviewed by a human within 24–48 hours.
  • We may reject, unpublish or remove content that infringes rights, breaks platform metadata rules, or violates content standards.
  • Repeat infringement or fraud may result in suspension and forfeiture of pending payouts tied to the fraudulent activity.

Streams, royalties and payouts

  • A stream counts toward royalties when it meets the published qualification rules (minimum listen time or completion, audible playback, and per-day caps).
  • Artificially generated streams are excluded, and the related earnings are held or reversed.
  • Royalty runs are calculated monthly. Approved earnings post to your wallet and become withdrawable once cleared.

Subscriptions and add-ons

  • Plans bill annually. Starter is free; paid tiers renew each year until cancelled.
  • À la carte add-ons are one-off charges tied to a specific release and are non-refundable once the work has started.
  • Cancelling a paid plan keeps your music live but returns your account to Starter limits at the end of the paid period.

Liability

  • The platform is provided as-is. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for delays caused by third-party streaming platforms.
  • Nothing here is legal advice. Rights registration tools assist you; they do not replace counsel.
