This Music Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a legally binding agreement between YourLabel LLC, a limited liability company (“Company”, “YourLabel”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), and you, the individual or entity (including any artist, label, or rights holder) that registers an account on the Company’s platform at yourlabel.app (“you” or “your”).
By creating an account, uploading Content, or clicking “I Agree” on the Company’s platform, you accept and agree to be bound by this Agreement in its entirety. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity. This Agreement supplements and is incorporated by reference into the Terms of Service; in the event of a conflict with respect to distribution, royalties, or payouts, this Agreement prevails.
You hereby appoint Company as your non-exclusive distributor for the purpose of delivering Content to DSPs within the Territory during the Distribution Period. You grant Company a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to reproduce, encode, format, store, and deliver your Content to DSPs, and to permit DSPs to reproduce, stream, and make available your Content to end users, solely for the purposes of this Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement transfers ownership of any copyright, master recording, composition, or other intellectual property in the Content to Company. You keep 100% ownership of your Content, subject only to the limited license granted herein.
Company may, at its sole discretion, decline to distribute Content to a specific DSP if required by that DSP’s policies, applicable law, or sanctions requirements, without liability to you.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that all Content, including audio files, artwork, and metadata, meets the technical and editorial standards required by DSPs, including minimum audio quality, correct ISRC/UPC assignment where applicable, accurate songwriter and performer credits, and artwork specifications.
Company reserves the right to reject, place on hold, or request resubmission of any Content that, in Company’s reasonable judgment, fails to meet applicable quality or content standards, including audio files exhibiting clipping, excessive noise, incorrect encoding, or other defects that would cause rejection by a DSP. Company will notify you of the reason for rejection and permit resubmission of corrected Content at no additional charge.
You warrant that all metadata you submit is accurate and that you will promptly correct any errors identified by Company or a DSP.
This Agreement takes effect upon your acceptance and continues for an initial term of one (1) year (“Initial Term”), automatically renewing for successive one-year periods (each a “Renewal Term”, together with the Initial Term, the “Distribution Period”) unless either party provides notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term, or the Agreement is otherwise terminated under Section 12.
Distribution occurs within the Territory, subject to Company’s ability to deliver to specific DSPs in specific countries and subject to applicable export control and sanctions restrictions described in Section 15.
Company shall pay you a share of Net Revenue generated by your Content, calculated on a Quarterly basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the revenue share is calculated on Net Revenue, meaning the net amount that actually reaches Company after deduction of all DSP-level fees, aggregator or sub-distributor commissions, payment-processing fees, chargebacks, reversals, fraud-related deductions, and withheld taxes, as defined in Section 1. Your share is determined according to the following tiered structure:
| Your cumulative Net Revenue in the Quarter | Your Share | Company’s Share |
|---|---|---|
| Up to USD 1,500 | 85% | 15% |
| Above USD 1,500 and up to USD 5,000 | 90% | 10% |
| Above USD 5,000 | 95% | 5% |
The applicable tier is determined by your total cumulative Net Revenue across all of your Content within a given Quarter, and the highest tier reached applies retroactively to all Net Revenue you earn within that same Quarter. Accordingly: once your cumulative Net Revenue for a Quarter reaches or exceeds USD 1,500, the 90% share applies to the entire Quarter; and once it reaches or exceeds USD 5,000, the 95% share applies to the entire Quarter. The Quarterly statement will reflect the recalculated amount.
Company does not charge any upfront, annual, or per-release distribution fee under this revenue-share model unless separately agreed with you in writing for premium services.
Company will make available to you, through the Platform dashboard, statements showing streams, sales, and Net Revenue by DSP and territory, updated on a periodic basis consistent with reporting received from DSPs, which is typically delayed by DSPs by 30 to 90 days from the date of the underlying activity.
Company applies a royalty hold of up to ninety (90) days from the end of the Quarter in which revenue is recognized, to account for DSP reporting delays, chargebacks, and fraud reviews, before funds become eligible for withdrawal.
Withdrawals are made by you submitting a manual payout request through the Platform, subject to review and approval by Company. Approved payouts are made in USDT (Tether) via the TRC20 network only, to a wallet address you designate. You are solely responsible for providing an accurate TRC20 wallet address; Company bears no liability for funds sent to an incorrect address you provided.
A minimum payout threshold, as published on the Platform from time to time, applies to withdrawal requests. Amounts below the threshold accumulate until the threshold is met.
Each party is responsible for its own tax obligations arising from amounts received under this Agreement. Company may withhold amounts required by applicable law, including withholding taxes imposed by DSPs or by the jurisdiction in which you are resident, and will provide you with available documentation of such withholding upon request.
You represent and warrant to Company that:
You shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company and its affiliates, sub-licensees (including your selected DSPs), officers, directors, employees, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, suits, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (i) any breach or alleged breach of your representations, warranties, or obligations under this Agreement; (ii) your Content; or (iii) your use or misuse of the Platform. Company may, at its option and your expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with Company’s defense. You shall not settle any such matter without Company’s prior written consent.
Company may require you to provide identity verification (“KYC”) information and documentation before your Content is approved for distribution, before any payout request is approved, or at any other time Company reasonably determines it is necessary. For individuals, this may include a government-issued photo ID, proof of address, date of birth, and other identifying information. For labels or other entities, this may include incorporation documents, proof of registered address, and identification of the entity’s beneficial owner(s) or authorized signatory.
You represent and warrant that all information and documentation you provide for KYC purposes is accurate, current, and belongs to you or, where you act on behalf of an entity, that you are authorized to provide it on that entity’s behalf. You agree to promptly update this information if it changes.
Company collects and verifies this information in order to: (a) comply with applicable sanctions, anti-money-laundering, and know-your-customer requirements imposed on Company by law, DSPs, or payment and distribution infrastructure partners; (b) identify the appropriate payee and tax treatment for amounts payable under Section 6; and (c) establish your identity for purposes of enforcing this Agreement, including pursuing claims for copyright infringement, fraud, or other breach as described in Section 11.
Company may decline to approve Content for release, suspend or withhold any payout, or suspend or terminate your account, without liability to you, if you fail to complete requested KYC verification, if the information or documentation you provide is incomplete, inaccurate, or cannot be verified, or if verification reveals a match against applicable sanctions or watch lists.
Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver accepted Content to DSPs within a reasonable time following approval, to make royalty statements available on the Platform, and to process approved payout requests within a reasonable time following approval, subject to the hold period described in Section 6.
Company does not guarantee placement, promotion, playlisting, or any specific level of streams or revenue on any DSP.
Company will process valid takedown notices, including notices alleging copyright infringement, in accordance with Company’s DMCA and takedown policy published on the Platform.
If Company receives a claim or notice, or otherwise reasonably suspects, that any of your Content or your use of the Platform infringes the intellectual property or other rights of any third party, breaches this Agreement or the terms of any DSP, involves a dispute over ownership or payment, or involves fraud, misrepresentation, or other illegal or inappropriate conduct, then in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it, Company may, in its sole discretion and without prior notice: (a) suspend, limit, or terminate your account and access to the Platform, whether or not there is any repeat infringement; (b) suspend or remove distribution of the affected Content from DSPs; and (c) withhold payment of any amounts reasonably attributable, in Company’s discretion, to the affected Content, pending resolution of the matter.
You will forfeit any amounts attributable to your fraud, infringement, or other illegal activity, and Company shall have no obligation to pay you such amounts.
You are personally and fully responsible for any Content you upload that infringes the rights of any third party, including any resulting fines, settlements, royalties owed to rights holders, amounts recouped or charged back by DSPs, and Company’s legal costs. In addition to the set-off right below, Company expressly reserves the right to pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies against you, including commencing legal proceedings or arbitration to recover any losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that Company incurs as a result of your infringement of third-party rights or other breach of this Agreement.
Where Company reasonably determines that royalties were paid to you in error, as a result of fraudulent activity, or that Company has incurred losses recoverable from you under this Agreement, Company may set off such amounts against any future amounts otherwise payable to you under this or any other agreement between the parties, in addition to any other remedies. If the set-off is insufficient to cover Company’s losses, Company may recover the balance from you directly, including through the legal proceedings described above.
Either party may terminate this Agreement for convenience upon thirty (30) days’ written notice. Company may terminate or suspend this Agreement immediately upon notice, in its sole discretion, if you breach Sections 8, 9, or 15, if you or your Content infringe or allegedly infringe the rights of any third party, if a DSP will not accept your Content, or if required to do so by law or sanctions obligation.
Upon termination, Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove your Content from DSPs within a reasonable period, which may vary by DSP and is generally expected to be completed within thirty (30) days, though some DSPs may take longer to process removal. Amounts already earned but subject to the hold period described in Section 6 remain payable in accordance with their normal schedule, subject to Sections 9 and 11.
Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public business, financial, or technical information disclosed by the other party in connection with this Agreement, and to use such information solely for the purposes of this Agreement, except as required by law or regulatory authority.
You represent that your use of the Platform and receipt of payments hereunder does not violate any applicable trade control, export control, or economic sanctions law. Company reserves the right to suspend accounts, withhold payments, or terminate this Agreement where required to comply with applicable sanctions regimes, without liability to you.
This Agreement and any dispute arising out of or in connection with it, including its existence, validity, or termination, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement that cannot be resolved amicably within thirty (30) days shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration, administered in accordance with the arbitration rules of a recognized international arbitration institution as designated by Company, with the seat of arbitration also designated by Company, conducted in the English language. Any resulting award shall be final and enforceable in accordance with the 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. Nothing in this Section prevents Company from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief, or from pursuing recovery of amounts owed, before any court of competent jurisdiction.
This Agreement is executed in the English language, which is the sole governing language for all purposes, including the interpretation and construction of this Agreement.
This Agreement, together with Company’s Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and DMCA Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. Company may amend this Agreement by posting updated terms on the Platform and providing reasonable notice; your continued use of the Platform after such notice constitutes acceptance. You may not assign this Agreement without Company’s prior written consent; Company may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of its assets. If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Neither party shall be liable for delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control.
