Royalty Policy

How eligible revenue is collected, reported, shared and paid under the applicable Record Tunes arrangement.

1. Purpose

This Royalty Policy explains the general approach Record Tunes uses for revenue administration and payouts for eligible music releases. It should be read together with the applicable Terms & Conditions, User Agreement and other Record Tunes policies.

2. Revenue Collection

Where the applicable Record Tunes service arrangement provides for revenue collection, Record Tunes may collect or administer revenue reported by applicable third-party platforms and services and make the eligible share available to the user according to the applicable terms.

3. Standard Revenue Share

Under the standard arrangement described by Record Tunes, 70% of eligible revenue is allocated to the user and 30% to Record Tunes.

This revenue share is not a guarantee of earnings. The amount ultimately available depends on actual revenue reported and applicable adjustments or conditions.

4. What Revenue Depends On

Royalty or revenue amounts may depend on streams, sales, usage, territories, platform reporting, applicable rates, deductions, adjustments, taxes where applicable and other factors outside Record Tunes' direct control.

5. Third-Party Reporting

Revenue information may be received from third-party platforms after their own reporting and accounting cycles. Record Tunes cannot guarantee the timing or completeness of a third party's reporting schedule.

6. Reporting and Reconciliation

Revenue records may be reconciled against information received from applicable platforms and service providers. Amounts can change when later reports, corrections, reversals or adjustments are received.

7. Minimum Payout

The current minimum payout threshold is ₹50, subject to applicable account, verification, revenue reporting and payout requirements.

8. Payout Processing

Reaching the minimum threshold does not necessarily mean that a payout is immediate. Revenue may need to be reported, reconciled and made eligible for payment before it can be released.

9. Account Eligibility

Payouts may require a valid account, accurate payment information and any verification or documentation reasonably required for revenue administration. Users are responsible for keeping their information current.

10. Corrections and Adjustments

Previously reported revenue may be adjusted because of platform corrections, invalid activity, refunds, reversals, accounting changes or other applicable adjustments. Record Tunes may reflect such changes in subsequent reporting or payout calculations.

11. Rights and Ownership

Users are responsible for having the necessary rights and permissions for the content they submit. Royalty administration does not transfer ownership of a user's music except where rights are expressly granted under an applicable agreement.

12. Multiple Contributors

Where a release has multiple owners, contributors or other entitled parties, users are responsible for providing accurate information and complying with any applicable ownership or split arrangements.

13. Takedown or Removal

If a release is removed, restricted or taken down because of a rights issue, policy violation, third-party action or other valid reason, related revenue may be affected. Any applicable adjustments will be handled according to the relevant circumstances and policies.

14. Account Suspension or Termination

Revenue or payout processing may be restricted where an account or release is suspended or terminated due to suspected fraud, rights disputes, non-compliance or another applicable reason. Any final treatment will depend on the circumstances and applicable agreements and policies.

15. No Guaranteed Earnings

Record Tunes does not guarantee a particular level of streams, sales, usage, royalties or revenue. Earnings depend on actual consumption and reporting through applicable services.

16. Support and Questions

Users may contact Record Tunes through available email and Telegram support channels regarding royalty reports, payout questions or account information. Support is available during Record Tunes' operating periods.

Important: Revenue is based on actual third-party reporting and applicable account and service conditions. The 70% / 30% share describes the standard Record Tunes arrangement and does not constitute a guarantee of revenue.

17. Processing Times

Royalty reporting and payout timing may differ from release processing timelines because third-party platforms operate on their own reporting and payment schedules.

18. Weekend Closure

Record Tunes operational support is closed on Saturday and Sunday. Questions or requests received during the weekend may be handled during the next operating period.

19. Policy Changes

Record Tunes may update this Royalty Policy when necessary. Users should review the current published policy and any specific agreement applicable to their account or catalog.
