These Terms of Service (“Terms” or “Agreement”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you”, or “your”) and YourLabel (“YourLabel”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), governing your access to and use of the YourLabel music distribution platform at yourlabel.app (“Platform” or “Service”).
By clicking “Create Account”, accessing the Platform, or submitting any content through the Service, you unequivocally confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.
These Terms apply to all users, including artists, band members, label representatives, managers, and any other person who registers or accesses the Platform. If you use the Platform on behalf of a legal entity (e.g. a record label or management company), you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and references to “you” shall include that entity.
2.1 Age requirement. You must be at least 18 years of age to register for or use the Service. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. Where applicable law requires a higher age of digital consent, that higher age applies.
2.2 Account accuracy. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to promptly update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete. We may suspend or terminate your account if any information provided is found to be inaccurate, false, or misleading.
2.3 Account security. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether authorised by you or not. You agree to notify us immediately at [email protected] upon becoming aware of any unauthorised access to or use of your account.
2.4 One account per user. You may not create more than one personal account. Duplicate accounts are prohibited and may be suspended without notice.
2.5 Non-transferability. Your account is personal to you. You may not assign, transfer, sell, or sublicence your account or any rights under these Terms to any third party.
3.1 Mandatory verification. Before you may submit music for distribution, you are required to complete our Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process by providing:
3.2 Purpose. KYC verification is required to comply with applicable anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, to prevent fraudulent use of the Platform, and to satisfy requirements imposed by our distribution partners.
3.3 Accuracy and fraud. You represent and warrant that all documents and information submitted for verification are genuine, unaltered, and accurately represent your identity. Submission of fraudulent, forged, or third-party identity documents constitutes a material breach of these Terms and may be reported to relevant law enforcement authorities.
3.4 Verification outcome. We reserve the right to approve or reject verification applications at our sole discretion. A rejection does not preclude resubmission with corrected documentation. Approved status may be revoked if we subsequently discover inaccuracies.
3.5 Data processing. Identity documents are processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, Section 7, and are retained only for the period necessary for verification and legal compliance.
4.1 Ownership retained.You retain full ownership of all copyrights, neighbouring rights, and other intellectual property rights in and to the music, sound recordings, artwork, lyrics, and metadata you submit to the Platform (“Your Content”). Nothing in these Terms constitutes a transfer or assignment of your intellectual property rights to YourLabel.

4.3 Scope of licence. The licence granted in Section 4.2 is strictly limited to the purposes necessary to provide the Service. YourLabel does not acquire any right to use Your Content for independent commercial exploitation, advertising, or any purpose unrelated to your distribution.

6.1 Moderation. All releases submitted through the Platform are subject to human review by our moderation team prior to distribution. We will notify you of the outcome — approval or rejection with written reasons — via email and your dashboard.
6.2 Timelines.We target a moderation decision within 24 hours of submission. Following approval, your release will typically go live on stores within 24–72 hours. Actual publication timelines are subject to each store's own processing schedules, which are beyond our control. We make no binding representation as to the exact date or time your release will appear on any specific platform.
6.3 Free service. The distribution service is provided free of charge. We do not charge upload fees, annual subscription fees, or per-release fees. We do not deduct any percentage from your royalties. All royalties collected from stores are remitted to you in full, subject only to payment processing fees disclosed at the time of withdrawal.
6.4 Store availability. We distribute to the stores and streaming platforms listed in your account at the time of submission. We do not guarantee perpetual availability of any specific store, as distribution agreements are subject to change. We will provide reasonable advance notice of any store removals that affect live releases.
6.5 Identifiers. We will assign a UPC/EAN barcode to your release prior to distribution. ISRC codes will be assigned to individual tracks following live publication. These identifiers are standard industry codes and will be visible to you in your dashboard.
6.6 Right of refusal. We reserve the right to refuse, withhold from distribution, or remove from distribution any release that, in our reasonable assessment, violates these Terms, applicable law, or the content policies of our distribution partners, or that poses a reputational or legal risk to the Platform.
7.1 Royalty reporting. Digital stores report and pay royalties to us on their own schedules, typically monthly or quarterly with a lag of 2–3 months from the end of the reporting period. We credit your dashboard account promptly upon receipt of funds, net of any fees charged by stores or our payment processors.
7.2 Our commission. YourLabel takes zero commission on your royalties. 100% of net royalties received from stores are credited to your account.
7.3 Payout requests. You may request a withdrawal of your available balance at any time. Payouts are made in USDT (Tether) to your registered TRC-20, ERC-20, or BEP-20 wallet address. Minimum payout thresholds and current processing times are displayed in your dashboard at the time of request. You are responsible for providing accurate wallet addresses; we cannot recover funds sent to an incorrect address.
7.4 Tax responsibility. You are solely and exclusively responsible for determining, declaring, and paying all taxes, levies, and other governmental charges applicable to royalty income received through the Service, including but not limited to income tax, withholding tax, VAT, and self-employment taxes, in all relevant jurisdictions. YourLabel does not provide tax advice and makes no representations regarding your tax obligations.
7.5 Disputed royalties. If you believe that royalties reported to your account are materially inaccurate, you must notify us at [email protected] within 90 days of the credit date. We will investigate and, where an error is confirmed, credit any shortfall within 30 days. Claims raised after 90 days may be time-barred.
7.6 Royalty hold. We reserve the right to place a hold on royalties attributed to a release that is the subject of a third-party copyright claim, a suspected fraudulent stream inflation investigation, or a regulatory inquiry. We will release held royalties promptly upon resolution of the underlying matter.
8.1 Artist-initiated takedowns. You may request the removal of any of your releases from distribution at any time by submitting a support ticket through the Platform. We will initiate the takedown process within 5 business days of receiving your request.
8.2 Third-party store processing.Removal from individual stores is subject to each store's own processing timelines, which can range from a few days to up to 30 business days. We will confirm successful takedown from each store where technically possible.
8.3 Reversion to draft. Taken-down releases are not deleted from your YourLabel account; they are reverted to draft status and remain available in your dashboard. You may resubmit a reverted release for distribution at any time, subject to any applicable restrictions.
8.4 Royalties post-takedown. Royalties generated prior to the effective date of takedown from each store remain payable to you. Royalties generated after takedown is effective on a given store are the responsibility of that store and will be remitted to us and credited to you in the normal course if received.
8.5 Platform-initiated takedowns. We may remove releases at our discretion as described in Section 6.6. Where we initiate a takedown, we will notify you via email within 24 hours, provide written reasons, and afford you an opportunity to contest the decision by contacting [email protected] within 14 days.
In addition to the content restrictions in Section 5, you agree not to:

10.2 Notice.Where reasonably practicable and legally permissible, we will provide you with at least 14 days' written notice of account termination, stating the reasons, and affording you an opportunity to respond.

10.3 By you. You may terminate your account at any time by contacting [email protected]. Account deletion is irreversible. Any outstanding balance meeting the minimum withdrawal threshold will be paid out within 30 days of termination. Balances below the minimum threshold will be forfeited unless we agree otherwise in writing.
