Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of the LabelDistro catalog ingestion pipeline, digital storefront distribution network, and automated royalty allocation system.

Ownership Scope

Catalog Ingestion and Master Ownership

LabelDistro operates strictly as a distribution technology partner. Your record label or imprint retains 100% of all master recording rights, publishing entitlements, and trademark assets delivered across our ingestion pipeline to international streaming storefronts.

By submitting audio assets and release metadata, you grant LabelDistro a non-exclusive administrative license solely to deliver, transcode, and monetize recordings across partner platforms until a formal catalog withdrawal is requested.

Payout Framework

Royalties, Mechanicals, and Splits

Our infrastructure automates distributor accounting and payee remittances directly from ingested storefront statements.

Reporting and Settlement Cycles

Tax Documentation and Withholding

Artist percentages, producer royalties, and label overhead fees calculate automatically upon ingestion of gross streaming receipts without manual spreadsheet reconciliation.

Store reports and statutory mechanical deductions are updated monthly following partner disbursement windows, generally within forty-five days of calendar close.

All disbursement payees must maintain verified tax profile records. LabelDistro applies required cross-border statutory withholdings before balance release.

Enforcement Policy

Anti-Fraud Audits and Takedowns

Label clients warrant that all audio files, artwork packaging, and track metadata are fully authorized without infringing samples. Any artificial stream inflation or unauthorized bot activity results in immediate catalog freeze and potential store fines.

LabelDistro complies with expedited digital copyright takedown notices. Where ownership disputes arise between competing entities, catalog distribution will remain quarantined until definitive ownership documentation is validated.
