DISTRIBUTION DISCLAIMER

Kindly be aware that distribution can take up to 3-14 Working Days for most of our service partners, however these times do vary. It takes 3–7 Working Days to get releases through copyright moderation. Once releases are approved, it takes 24–72 Hours for the release to be available on most stores.

PROMOTIONAL SERVICES DISCLAIMER

Please note that our promotional services are primarily designed to help you gain new listeners and increase your content’s visibility and virality. Our strategies include leveraging editorial and user-curated playlists, TikTok campaigns, targeted ad campaigns, and other effective promotional methods.

REFUNDS

Distribution:

Before submitting a release for distribution, please ensure that you have the necessary rights and permissions to use all components of your content, including:

  • Backing tracks (beats)
  • Samples or sample packs
  • Artwork (including all elements used in its creation)

Alternatively, you must be the original owner of the beats, samples, and artwork provided. If your song or artwork is flagged or rejected due to copyright violations, you will be required to:

  1. Modify the flagged content (e.g., change the artwork or song).
  2. Provide evidence proving your ownership of the rights to the disputed content.

Only after addressing these issues can stores proceed with your release.

Note: Refunds will NOT be issued if you fail to provide the required changes. This is because distribution fees are paid upfront to stores when the process begins, and your materials are already submitted for copyright review.

Promotion:

We are confident in the quality of our promotional services. Refunds can only be requested if your order has not been placed in the delivery queue or if we fail to deliver the service within four weeks. Once your order is added to the queue, refunds are no longer possible, as services will already be initiated and/or fulfilled by our partners.

In cases where delays occur due to service issues, we offer compensation by providing alternative services currently available.

Editorial Playlisting Services:

For editorial playlisting, we pitch your release to the editorial teams of music platforms for playlist consideration. However, placement is not guaranteed. Whether your song is selected depends on the editorial team’s interest and its fit within their playlist genre and mood.

Refund Policy for Editorial Services

  • No refunds are issued in cases where editorial playlisting services are not successful (added to playlist).
  • If your song is not placed on an editorial playlist, we compensate by: Adding the song to user-curated playlists, reserving a slot for your next release, provided the current song has been pitched up to four times.

Best Practices for Editorial Placements
To maximize your chances, we recommend distributing and pitching your release 3–5 weeks before the release date to allow adequate time for consideration.
