Terms of service

• You must be 13 or older, and 18+ (or have a guardian) to receive payouts.
• One account per artist or label. Keep your login details to yourself.
• Collab Artist accounts require manual approval, taking up to 10 days, before the dashboard unlocks.

You keep 100% ownership of your masters and compositions. You grant DistriBeats a non-exclusive licence to deliver, host and monetise your music on stores and platforms you select, for as long as your release is live.

• You own or control every right in what you upload, including samples and covers.
• Your metadata is accurate and does not impersonate another artist.
• Your content follows our Fraud & Low-Effort Content Policy.

• PayOnce and annual subscription releases receive AI priority approval in about 2 minutes when automated checks pass; manual approval takes up to 24 hours when required.
• Free Collab releases receive no priority approval and manual approval can take up to 10 days.
• PayOnce releases can be live on stores within 3 business days, annual subscription releases within 9 business days and free Collab releases within 14 business days.
• These are service targets, not guarantees, because each store controls final acceptance and publishing.
• Docket reply targets: Collab Artists within 3 business days; PayOnce, Pro and label plans within 24 hours; Enterprise users within 12 hours.

• Up to 5 releases in any 12 months and one draft at a time.
• Masters up to 50 MB, cover artwork up to 3 MB and rights documents up to 1 MB.
• YouTube Content ID and TikTok are not included, and tools such as analytics, profile claims, catalogue transfer and the Artwork Studio are part of paid plans.
• Only 100% human-made music is accepted. Uncleared or free samples, partly or fully AI-generated music, third-party tracks, music made only for Content ID platforms and poorly mixed or mastered recordings are rejected.
• A rejection on the free plan is final: the release cannot be edited or resubmitted and is deleted with its files within 3 days.
• Misusing the free plan leads to a permanent ban without notice.

• Royalty balances are reported in USD in your dashboard.
• Withdrawals unlock at $50. Artists in India are paid by bank transfer or UPI; artists outside India are paid by PayPal.
• Royalty statements are credited to your balance by our team once stores report them, and each credit appears in your Royalty history.
• Store reporting lags real streams by 45–90 days — that's the DSPs, not us.
• Fraudulent streams are clawed back and can void a balance entirely.

• Customers in India are charged in INR. Customers in every other country are charged in USD. These are separate fixed price lists, not currency conversions.
• Pro Artist, AI Pro and Label are annual subscriptions. We first try to create an autopay mandate; if mandate setup is unavailable, checkout may offer a manual one-time payment for that annual term.
• The Pro Artist free trial runs 3 days worldwide and includes one release. It requires an autopay mandate (UPI Autopay or card in India; international card elsewhere), is limited to one trial per customer, and may be cancelled at any time during the 3 days at no cost. If not cancelled, the Pro Artist subscription starts on day 4 at ₹999/year in India or $12.99/year elsewhere, and that charge is non-refundable.
• Artist EPK includes a 3-month trial, then costs ₹5 for the first paid month and ₹25/month in India, or $3/year outside India. Standalone DistriLinks includes a 1-month trial, then costs ₹20/month in India or $3/year outside India.
• Autopay authorisation may display a maximum debit amount up to 50% above the current recurring price. This is mandate headroom only; we charge the price shown for the applicable billing cycle unless you separately approve another charge or a lawful price change takes effect.
• You can cancel a recurring service from your account. Cancellation stops its autopay mandate and future renewals, while paid access continues until the end of the current paid period.

We can reject, pause or take down a release that breaks these terms, a store's rules or the law. Repeat or serious violations end the account permanently, with no refund of any paid plan.

This is the main difference with DistriBeats: if you cancel or do not renew your plan, your existing songs stay live on stores instead of being pulled. Royalties earned during an unrenewed period cannot be collected or paid out until the plan is renewed, and your music stays live until you request a takedown. Takedowns are free on active Pro, AI Pro and label plans and on PayOnce releases; on the free Collab plan or an expired plan they cost ₹2,000 / $20 per release, or free once you renew.

We may update these terms, plan pricing, fees and service policies. Changes that reduce your rights or raise the price of your renewal are emailed or shown in your console at least 15 days before they take effect, and you can cancel before then. Other changes apply from the date they are published here.

The platform is provided "as is". Klaslead Productions Pvt. Ltd. is not liable for store outages, third-party delivery delays or lost revenue beyond the fees you paid us in the prior 12 months.

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute that cannot be settled by talking to us first falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Kolkata, West Bengal.
