Section A below applies to registration for and use of our services, while Section B covers use of our website generally.

We may occasionally need to change these terms to assure that we can provide the services or for other reasons. Therefore, we need to reserve the right to amend these terms at any time. When we do, we will post the amended terms here, so please check back often and check the date above to see when they were last updated. If you are a registered Royalty Genius user, we may also notify you by email or by posting notice to your account dashboard that the terms have been updated, BUT WE PROMISE NOT TO AMEND THE TERM OF OUR AGREEMENT OR THE FACT THAT YOU ALWAYS KEEP THE COPYRIGHT IN YOUR MUSIC WITHOUT OBTAINING YOUR EXPRESS CONSENT OR ALLOWING YOU TO OPT-OUT. In any case, by continuing to visit or use the website and/or our services, you agree to these terms as they may be amended from time to time.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH OR DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THESE TERMS, PLEASE NAVIGATE AWAY FROM THE SITE AND DO NOT CLICK “I AGREE” TO REGISTER OR USE OUR SERVICES. IF YOU DON’T CLICK “I AGREE,” WE CANNOT PROVIDE OUR SERVICES TO YOU.

SECTION A – REGISTRATION AND USE OF OUR SERVICES

A1. REGISTRATION

In order to use our services, you will need to register and create an account with us. This involves choosing and verifying a valid email address that is your own, choosing a password and providing us with complete and accurate registration information, which may include without limitation your name, age, email address, postal address, phone number, bank account, social security number or other tax ID number and other payment details, and certain details regarding the songs (“Compositions”) and/or recordings (“Recordings”) that you submit to us, such as titles, ISWCs, ISRCs or other identifying codes, and your percentage copyright interest. You will be solely responsible for any activity conducted with your username, password and account, so please keep that information confidential and safe. If at any time your details change or if you learn or suspect that your password has been used or obtained by a person not authorized to use it, please notify us immediately.

If you are registering, submitting materials and/or providing information to us on behalf of one or more other people, a group, or a company or other entity, then you represent and warrant to us that you are duly authorized to do so on their behalf and to bind them to these terms and that we and our sublicensees are fully entitled to rely on the same. In such case, the term “you” as used throughout these terms includes all such people and entities.

A2. SUBMISSION OF MUSIC

Once you have registered, you will be able to submit as many compositions and/or recordings as you wish for us to administer within the scope of our services. We will provide you with detailed instructions to submit all necessary accompanying details and, if necessary, to upload applicable recordings or other materials. The compositions and/or recordings that you submit to us, together with any accompanying artwork, photographs, lyrics, metadata and/or other materials, are sometimes collectively referred to in these terms as your “Music.” We are not able to return any materials or information submitted to us and while we don’t intend or undertake to pre-screen your music, we may refuse to accept or to perform services in connection with any music if we receive a claim involving that music, if it violates the terms of a license, or for any reason in our discretion.

TO BE CLEAR, YOU KEEP FULL OWNERSHIP OF YOUR INTEREST IN YOUR MUSIC. YOU DECIDE WHICH MUSIC TO REGISTER WITH ROYALTY GENIUS. WE DO NOT CONTROL YOUR COPYRIGHTS.

YOU MAY ONLY REGISTER MUSIC THAT YOU OWN OR CONTROL THE RIGHTS TO, AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF YOUR OWN INTEREST! FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU CO-WROTE A COMPOSITION WITH ONE OR MORE OTHER WRITERS, THEN YOU MUST TELL US WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE COPYRIGHT YOU OWN IN THAT SONG, AND ONLY YOUR INTEREST WILL BE COVERED UNDER THESE TERMS.

IF YOUR COMPOSITIONS OR RECORDINGS ARE COVERED UNDER AN AGREEMENT WITH A MUSIC PUBLISHER OR ADMINISTRATOR OR WITH A RECORD COMPANY, THEN YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUBMIT THEM TO US. IF YOU ENTER INTO ANY SUCH AGREEMENT DURING THE TERM, IT WILL BE SUBJECT TO OUR RIGHTS HEREIN. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CAREFULLY REVIEW ANY APPLICABLE AGREEMENTS AND CONSULT WITH A CAPABLE LAWYER TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN SUBMIT MUSIC TO US WITHOUT VIOLATING THOSE AGREEMENTS OR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BELOW. If you don’t own or control 100% of the rights to each and composition and sound recording that you submit to us, then there is still a possibility that someone else may “claim” a portion of the related content or may demand that it be removed from the digital service altogether.

A.3 GRANT OF RIGHTS **FROM YOU TO US

If you sign up and submit music to us, then that music will automatically be included in the licensing claim services described in Sections A3.1 below.

On behalf of yourself and your music publishing designees (if applicable), you grant to us and our sublicensees, successors and assigns the sole and exclusive rights during the term and in the territory to license, administer, collect and otherwise exploit the mechanical rights (as applicable) on your behalf throughout the universe as to 100% of your right, title and interest in and to each piece of music that you submit to us:

A3.1 MECHANICAL LICENSING CLAIMS

Royalty Genius will identify instances where your music is being used or exploited during the term (or has been used or exploited prior to the term) on digital music services without authorization or consent from you (or your authorized representative) and to “claim” and monetize such uses and/or exploitations on your behalf (which we may do by authorizing the service to enable the reproduction of your music). We refer to any foregoing kinds of claims as “ Mechanical Licensing Claims”.

We will have the right but not the obligation to initiate litigation or administrative proceedings on your behalf with regard to any unauthorized uses or exploitations of your music on the digital music services.

We will pay you 70% of net sums derived from mechanical licensing claims for your compositions on digital music services for retroactive recovery payments.

We will pay you 80% of net sums derived from mechanical licensing claims for your compositions on digital music services from the date you register on our website..

GRANT OF RIGHTS – OPTIONAL

In addition, we may now or in the future offer some of the following services, all of which will be entirely on an “opt-in” basis – the choice is up to you. If you do opt-in, then on behalf of yourself and your music publishing designees (if applicable), you grant to us and our sublicensees, successors and assigns the sole and exclusive rights during the term and in the territory to administer, collect and otherwise exploit the following rights (as applicable) on your behalf throughout the universe as to 100% of your right, title and interest in and to each piece of music that you submit to us for the applicable service:

A3.3 DIGITAL RIGHTS SERVICES

If you opt in for our digital rights services, then you grant to us the sole and exclusive right to license, administer and collect all income (whether earned during or prior to the term) with respect to any and all digital sites and services that digitally deliver music via the internet or a mobile/wireless communications network or the like, including but not limited to:

interactive streams or webcasts,
limited or “tethered” downloads,
so-called “pure” or “permanent” downloads ,
ringtones and ringback tones,
so-called “scan and match,” cloud storage or locker services,
digital jukeboxes,
digital and online/wireless karaoke services,
business establishment background/foreground and audiovisual music services, and
as music may otherwise be embodied in any and all other digital phonorecord deliveries or digital transmissions of sound recordings currently existing or hereafter developed (excluding only performances in the U.S. of a sound recording that is exempt under 17 U.S.C. §114(d)(1) or which qualify, either alone or as a result of a program in which it is included, for statutory licensing under 17 U.S.C. §114(d)(2)).

By way of example and not limitation, our rights hereunder extend to digital services such as Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Rdio, Deezer, Rhapsody, Beats Music, SoundCloud, Microsoft Groove, TouchTunes, Slacker, Tidal, iTunes Match, Amazon Cloud Player, the Google Music Store, Google Play Music Services (which currently include the Google Play Music Store, Google Locker Music Service, and Google Play Subscription Service), Amazon Prime, Amazon Scan and Match, Mood Media (incl. Muzak, DMX), PlayNetwork, TouchTunes, AMI Entertainment, Shoplifter and ex-U.S. iTunes and other download or interactive streaming stores or digital services now or hereafter known.

You acknowledge that our exclusive administration rights include, for example, the ability to allow digital services to create and make available promotional excerpts and streams of your music, to encode, reproduce, cache and store your music on central hardware devices and/or to reproduce and physically deliver programmed physical media and digital storage devices containing your music to licensed locations. Our rights also include the right (but not the obligation) to grant licenses to digital devices on a so-called 100% basis (i.e., to license the rights to an entire composition, even if you or Royalty Genius controls less than 100% of the copyright therein).

For karaoke services, our exclusive administration rights also include, without limitation, the ability to allow digital services and their users to display and record your music in synchronization or timed relation with lyrics and other visual images, to record users’ performances and versions of your music, and to upload, download, perform and distribute recordings of those performances.

We may also grant digital services the right to perform actions necessary or desired for the operation of their services, such as to make and retain cache and server copies of your music, to create and make available previews of your music, create and/or use and store metadata to “fingerprint” or match content on their services, to edit music files and metadata solely for technical or legal purposes, to offer free or discounted promotional trial periods, and to allow users to recommend your music to others via social media for streaming, subscription and/or purchase opportunities.

You also grant us the exclusive right to allow digital services to publicly perform the music (or if you do not control those rights exclusively, then you grant us the non-exclusive right) and to use the names (real and professional), approved biographical information and approved likenesses of the writers of the music, and to authorize others to do so, solely in connection with exploitation of the music via digital services.

We will pay you 80% of Net Sums that we collect from Digital Services for uses of your music beginning on the date that you opt-in to our digital rights services; and 70% of net sums that we collect from digital services for uses of your music prior to that date.

**A3.4 ROYALTY RECOVERY SERVICES

If you opt in for our royalty recovery services, you grant us the sole and exclusive right to find, identify and recover any and all pre-existing mechanical and other royalties that have been earned by you but unpaid by digital services as of or prior to the date that you opt-in for the service from permanent digital downloads and/or use in scan-and-match services (such as iTunes Match) of recordings embodying your compositions in the U.S. (and any applicable statutory late fees and/or interest, collectively, “Recovered Royalties”).

We may employ our proprietary technology to locate and identify commercially released sound recordings embodying the compositions, and the metadata and identifying codes and ID numbers associated with those recordings. We may be able to use this data to recover arrears payments and accurate payments for current and future exploitations.

We will pay you 70% of Net Sums derived from Recovered Royalties.

Our exclusive rights during the Term for the applicable services above will include anything reasonably necessary or desirable in furtherance of the foregoing, including without limitation the right to (a) reproduce, modify and display the metadata and music for the purposes described herein and for other related internal purposes in carrying out the services; (b) sublicense any or all of the rights granted herein to any person(s) or entity(ies); (c) collect all monies derived from the foregoing prior to and during the term throughout the territory; and (d) use and to grant others the right to use the composition lyrics and the names (real and professional), approved biographical information and approved likenesses of the writers of the compositions and artists, producers and others whose performances are embodied on the recordings. You will be deemed to have approved any artwork, photographs, biographical material or other information or materials that you provide to us. You agree that we may contact you by email or using your other registration details with any questions we may have relating to your music. All rights not granted to us in this agreement (or reasonably necessary or desirable for the exploitation of such rights) are reserved to you. You acknowledge that any services for which you opt-in are exclusive to us, and so during the term you may not engage in those services directly or authorize others to do so. If and to the extent that you retain any moral or other rights, you irrevocably agree not to enforce them against us or our sublicensees.

You hereby irrevocably appoint such of our officers as we may delegate with the power of attorney (coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution and delegation) solely for the purposes of effecting the rights, powers and transactions contemplated by these terms (e.g., making, executing, filing and/or delivering any documents or taking any other action necessary or reasonably desirable within our reasonable business discretion). However, you and we are independent contractors and licensor-licensee and this agreement does not create any joint venture, agency, employment or other relationship.

A4. TERM

The term of our services (the “term”) will begin on the date that you first submit your music to us via the site and shall continue on a month to month basis. The term will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis unless and until either party provides the other with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of its desire that the term expire at the end of the of the then-current period. It will take 6 months for digital and 3 months for physical to have content removed completely from the Royalty Genius system.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) we may suspend, modify or terminate any or all of our services at any time, without notice, (ii) we may grant sublicenses of your music to third parties which survive the term, and (iii) you have the right to terminate the term upon written notice to us if we stop operating the website and service for sixty (60) consecutive days or longer. There may be a delay between the end of the term (or your withdrawal of any particular piece of music from representation by us) and the time that it takes a digital service to actually acknowledge or register the transition or to take down your music (e.g., they may only honor takedown requests semi-annually or on some other periodic basis), and you agree not to hold us or the applicable third party responsible for any such delays.

A5. TERRITORY

The territory of the rights granted to us (the “Territory”) is worldwide as to all music and services unless you specify otherwise when you submit or deliver the music and related information to us during the submission process.

A6. PAYMENTS

We will pay you the applicable percentage of net sums for the services above. As used herein, “net sums” shall mean gross monies that we earn, collect and actually receive, from digital services or our other sublicensees and which are solely and directly attributable to the exploitation of your interest in the music pursuant to these terms, less any refunds, taxes, tariffs or other amounts that we may be legally obliged to withhold or pay. We will retain the remaining net sums as our service fee. We shall have the right to rely on accounting, usage and other statements received from our sublicensees for all purposes hereunder. You will be responsible for payment of all taxes assessed to you, and for all payments due to third parties (e.g., co-writers of compositions if applicable, artists, producers, engineers or others who performed services in connection with recordings), and hereby agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any sums for which you are responsible.

If we or any other digital service or any of our other sublicensees receives a claim or otherwise reasonably suspects that any of your music infringes the rights of any person or entity, violates any applicable law or terms of service, or that other activity related to your account with us is attributable to misrepresentation, manipulation, misconduct or similar deceptive or fraudulent practices (automated or otherwise), then in addition to any other available rights and remedies we may withhold net sums otherwise payable to you in an amount reasonably attributable to such conduct unless and until any and all claims or other conduct are favorably resolved to our reasonable satisfaction and we may attempt to address and resolve matters resulting from such claims or conduct, which may include, without limitation, the disclosure of information to third parties and the payment to or other settlement of disputed amounts with third parties on your behalf, in Royalty Genius’s sole business judgment. You will forfeit all amounts that any digital services and/or our other sublicensees reasonably determine in our discretion are the result of any of the foregoing activity, or if so determined by a court or administrative body. Additionally, if we in our reasonable discretion engage outside attorneys in connection with the evaluation, investigation, enforcement or defense of such matter, then we shall be entitled to offset our resulting expenses by, in our sole discretion, (i) deducting from your account (whether currently or in the future available) a minimum of $500 and a maximum of our actual costs incurred plus a service fee of 20% on top of said fees or (ii) charging $500 (or any greater or lesser balance not deducted from your account) to any payment method then on file with us (e.g., PayPal, Transferwise, credit or debit card). In addition to any other rights or remedies, we may in our discretion deduct or set-off any amounts that you owe us from any monies otherwise payable to you.

A7. ACCOUNTINGS

Our goal is to provide you your money as quickly as possible. For the time being, we will render payment of net sums payable to you within (90) days after our actual receipt thereof from a digital service, together with copies of any accompanying statements that we receive; provided, in each case, the applicable digital service provides sufficient information in its accounting statement to us to enable us to identify and distinguish the specific exploitation of your music and associated income and to allocate your share of net sums therefrom. If the applicable digital service does not provide sufficient information, then we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to work with the reporting service to identify and obtain such information so that we can allocate, account and pay your share of net sums. If the net sums due to you for a particular quarter are Ten Dollars ($10) or less, then we may hold that amount in your account until a statement shows net sums of ten Dollars ($10) or more payable to you (or, if later, until the final statement after the term ends). We may furnish statements by posting them to your account dashboard on the site, by email, by regular mail, or otherwise in our reasonable discretion, in each case using the registration details you have provided – PLEASE MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOUR CONTACT AND PAYMENT DETAILS CURRENT. All statements shall be binding upon you and not subject to any objection for any reason unless you give us a specific, non-generalized objection in writing, stating the basis thereof, within one (1) year from the date rendered, and any lawsuit must be commenced within two (2) years from the date such statement was rendered.

It will be up to you to regularly monitor and withdraw amounts from your Royalty Genius account. If any sums remain in your Royalty Genius account for two-and-a-half years or longer, then we will charge an administration fee of one percent (1%) or Five Dollars (US$5) per month (whichever is greater) on that amount (or a lesser fee, if required under applicable law).

We hope to be as transparent as possible, and therefore will provide you with copies of the statements that we receive from our other sublicensees relating to your music, from which we calculate the net sums payable to you. But if you really wish, you may nevertheless at your sole expense elect to have a certified public accountant examine our books and records only as they relate to your music and only to confirm the accuracy of our statements and payment of net sums to you. You must provide at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to us that you intend to have your CPA conduct such an examination, which will take place at our office during our normal business hours, will be for a reasonable duration, may not occur more than once per calendar year, and each statement may only be examined once. We may require you and your CPA to sign a confidentiality agreement before beginning an examination, and you agree to provide us with a copy of the CPA’s report promptly when it’s available. And if and when the numbers line up and you find no discrepancy after incurring those audit costs, don’t say we didn’t tell you so. This paragraph reflects your only right to examine our books and records.

A8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

You represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are 18 years of age or older and have and shall continue to have the full legal right, capacity and authority to agree to and fully perform these terms and to grant the above rights to us without the consent of any other person; (b) all information, data and materials that you provide to us are accurate and complete, including without limitation your stated percentage copyright interest in the music and your ownership, and you will update the same during the term so as to remain accurate and complete; (c) none of the music, nor any part thereof, infringes upon any rights of any third party or violates any applicable law or terms of service; without limiting the foregoing, no music embodies a sample, interpolation or other portion of a work owned or controlled by a third party unless licensed (in writing) by all applicable third parties for your embodiment in the applicable music; (d) any sale, assignment, transfer, mortgage or licensing or other grant of rights in or to your interest in any of the music shall be subject to our rights hereunder and the terms and conditions hereof; (e) there is no existing agreement, and you will not enter into any agreement or perform any act, which materially interferes or is inconsistent with the rights granted to us hereunder; (f) the music are and shall be free from any adverse claims, liens or encumbrances of any kind by any person or entity; (g) we shall not be required to make any payments of any nature for, or in connection with, the exploitation of the rights granted herein, including without limitation to any co-writers of the compositions or any performers, producers or others in connection with any recordings; (h) you will not join or become a party to any class action against us or otherwise involving the website or our services; and (i) you have had the opportunity to consult with independent legal counsel in connection with these terms.
