Please review our fully transparent Privacy Policy for information regarding security, confidentiality and how we handle the data you provide to us.
5. YOUR MUSIC, MATERIALS AND INFORMATION
When you upload your Recordings through the Amuse Service(s), you will be required to submit to us all associated Materials and Metadata for distribution to and use by the Stores. You submit the Recordings, Materials and Metadata at your sole expense and in such compliant formats required by us.
You are fully and solely responsible for all aspects of the Recordings, Materials and Metadata that you submit to us. If we deem any of the Recordings, Materials or Metadata unsuitable, or in breach (or potential breach) of our, a Store’s or a third party’s guidelines, rules or restrictions (including our Store Agreements), we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to remove the applicable Recording(s), Material(s), Metadata and/or prevent you from accessing and using any of the Amuse Service(s).
You agree that Amuse will at no time be responsible for any failure, error or delay by us or any third party (including any Store) to distribute the Recordings, Materials or Metadata, or the removal of the same by us or any third party (including any Store) as a result of any act or omission by you to comply with all instructions, guidelines, rules and restrictions.
6. ROYALTIES AND PAYOUTS
You keep 100% of your royalties that we actually receive from the Stores, unless you have royalty splits without a Subscription (as further detailed in our Subscription Terms of Use), with the exception of any third party aggregator fees, applicable taxes due from you by law, payment and banking fees incurred, and amounts to cover any administrative costs and cost of sales, including the handling of money and payments on your behalf. You are to the fullest extent responsible for paying all applicable taxes according to the tax laws of your country.
You warrant and represent that you are solely responsible for securing all necessary permissions and licenses (including, without limitation, any mechanical and publishing licenses in respect of the underlying musical compositions) prior to the submission of any Recordings and Materials via the Amuse Service(s). You further warrant and represent that you are solely responsible for making all required payments in relation to the distribution or other exploitation of the Recordings and Materials via the Amuse Service(s) including, without limitation, all payments to third parties including those who have contributed to the Recordings and Materials (e.g. artists, performers, collaborators, musicians, producers, mixers, remixers, songwriters, publishers, designers etc) as well as any payments to unions and guilds (or as otherwise required under any collective bargaining agreements), or in relation to any performer’s rights, equitable remuneration rights, neighbouring rights or equivalent.
Any royalties and income collected through Youtube Content ID shall be subject to a 15% commission, unless (and for so long as) you have an AMUSE PRO subscription.
Any Recordings subject to a split Commission will not be charged a fee on royalties accrued from Youtube Content ID.
You agree that the calculation, apportionment and payment of any royalties is subject to all terms and conditions of each Store Agreement. Please note that certain Stores may require that your Recordings generate a minimum number of streams before any royalties are earned and paid for such Recordings.
The Stores report your earned royalties to us and we will use reasonable efforts to credit such royalties to your Amuse Account on a monthly basis. The royalties refer to previous months as reported to us by the Stores, after we’ve received payment from the Stores. Each Store has their own timeline delay of reporting your earned royalties, usually between 2-6 months. When royalties have been credited to your Amuse Account, you are able to request to withdraw the money. Do note that due to reporting delays, you will not receive any royalties during your first month(s) until Amuse has received the first reports from the Stores on your earnings. Any net revenues credited to your Amuse Account will be held in a bank account owned by Amuse, and you agree that you will not receive any interest or other earnings.
The minimum amount of earnings you can withdraw is $10 USD and cannot be paid out in parts. Your earnings are accumulated and will be carried over until you reach the threshold of $10 USD unless your Amuse Account is terminated or canceled. The maximum amount of earnings you can withdraw may be subject to third party rules and restrictions from time-to-time.
The payout process takes approximately 1-7 business days. We will make reasonable efforts to comply with this but make no guarantees. If you have not withdrawn earnings from your Amuse Account within 3 years of the date such earnings are credited to your Amuse Account, you accept that you may forfeit such earnings.
The payout service currently used is Hyperwallet. You must hold a Hyperwallet account to be able to receive your royalties earned. Amuse reserves the right to change the payout service without notice. We also reserve the right to withhold a payout without notice for any reason including, without limitation, where we suspect in our sole discretion that any information is incorrect or an unauthorized person has accessed your Amuse Account.
We also reserve the right, without notice, to withdraw from your earnings (or otherwise charge you) 10 EUR per Recording per month (or the then current equivalent in any other currency) (the “Fee”) if we or any of the Stores (in our or a Store’s sole discretion) identify any fraudulent, manipulated, artificial and/or illegal streaming activity in respect of the Recording in question. Regardless of any splits set up with other Amuse users for such Recording, the Fee will be withdrawn from the owner of the Amuse Account.
In addition, we may take any of the following action without notice where we determine in our sole discretion that you are, have been or may have been involved in fraudulent, artificial, manipulated or illegal conduct, that you have uploaded infringing Recordings or are otherwise in breach of the Agreements:
a. Deduct any and all required sums (including the Fee) from any accrued balance of royalty earnings credited to your Amuse Account; and/or
b. Deduct any and all required sums (including the Fee) from any future royalty earnings which would otherwise have been credited to your Amuse Account; and/or
c. Charge any and all required sums (including the Fee) to your chosen payment method (such as a debit card, credit card or PayPal account).
Some countries are restricted by the payout service (as amended from time-to-time) and we are unable to process any payment to you should you reside in a restricted country. We accept no liability should the payout service restrict payments to a country you reside in. Currently, these countries include, without limitation, Afghanistan, Belarus, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, Cuba, Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau Iran, Iraq, Libanon, Libya, Liberia, Myanmar, North Korea, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Zimbabwe. If you reside in a restricted country, please do not register to use the Amuse Service(s) as we will be unable to pay out any accrued royalties to you. Should you circumvent this, or breach the payment provider’s terms of use, you agree to us withholding any royalties and terminating your account without notice.
Should a Store report an incorrect amount of royalties that you have earned for any reason, Amuse reserves the right to retroactively adjust this. Amuse assumes no liability whatsoever arising out of or in connection with any reporting from the Stores.
For our Swedish users. To be tax compliant with current tax laws, it’s mandatory for us to collect your personal number, whenever you make a withdrawal of royalties, to be able to make yearly reports to the Swedish Tax Agency on how much you have withdrawn (swe: kontrolluppgift).
7. STORES
You can upload Recordings through the Amuse Service(s) and you may choose the Stores you want your Recordings to be delivered to provided you have a Subscription. The terms of our Store Agreements shall govern the basis on which your Recordings, Materials and Metadata are distributed, used or otherwise exploited by the Stores. Amuse shall at all times have sole and final authority over the Store Agreements it elects to enter into or withdraw from. Amuse provides no guarantee around any distribution, use and/or exploitation of the Recordings, Materials or Metadata by any particular Store and Amuse accepts no liability if such Recordings, Materials or Metadata are not made available in a particular Store or are removed from any Stores for any reason whatsoever.
Amuse accepts no liability for any interruptions, delays, errors, or any suspensions of access, reports, or payouts by the Stores, whether in whole or in part.
8. ROYALTY SPLITS
You can split royalties for a Recording with other Amuse users if you have a Subscription. However, you only need an Amuse Account to receive royalty splits from other users’ Recordings. Users who are not paying for a Subscription will pay a commission of 15% on their share of the royalties earned from the Recordings (the “Commission”). The Commission will be withheld on royalties earned from the period not paid for. Should you start paying for a Subscription, you will not pay the Commission on royalties earned during your subscription period, subject to the Subscription Terms of Use.
You can add and edit royalty splits for new and previously released Recordings if you have an active Subscription. Once new royalty splits are submitted, all invited users must accept and confirm the invites before any royalty splits can take effect. Royalty splits submitted will take effect on royalties reported from the same month the splits were confirmed. Should you have submitted royalty splits for a new Recording, all royalty splits must be confirmed on the day the Recording is released. Should there be any unconfirmed splits, the unconfirmed split will not take effect and will be re-assigned to the user whose account is the owner of the Recording.
If you have received a free AMUSE PRO trial, you are bound by the Subscription Terms of Use as well as these Terms of Use. After the end of your trial, if you do not pay for a Subscription, we may (a) disable your ability to release further Recordings and Materials through the Amuse Service(s), or make changes to existing Recordings and Materials; and (b) take down your Recordings and Materials from any and all Stores. Furthermore, Youtube Content ID will be deactivated and you will no longer have access to any other benefits of an AMUSE PRO subscription. If you have set up royalty splits, you will be charged the Commission for such royalty splits.
