Distribution Agreement

You grant HypaLabs a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to reproduce, encode, distribute, and make available the recordings, artwork, and metadata you submit to digital stores and platforms, and to collect royalties on your behalf, solely for the purpose of providing distribution services for the releases you submit.

You retain full ownership of your master recordings and compositions. Nothing in this agreement transfers ownership of your Content to HypaLabs. The license granted here is non-exclusive, so you are free to distribute through other channels and to leave at any time, subject to takedown processing times.

HypaLabs collects the royalties reported by stores for your releases and credits your account, less the commission applicable to your plan and any chargebacks or adjustments passed through by stores. Reported earnings appear in your dashboard and statements once royalty runs are posted.

Once funds are received and reconciled, your available balance can be withdrawn subject to identity and tax verification and the minimum withdrawal threshold. Store reporting and payment cycles mean earnings are typically reported on a delay of one or more months after the streaming period.

You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of your release metadata, credits, and ownership splits, and for holding all necessary rights. Content must comply with the requirements of each store. Releases that fail validation or store review may be delayed or rejected.

Infringing material, artificial streaming, misleading metadata, impersonation, and content that violates store policies or law are prohibited and may result in rejection, removal, withheld royalties, or termination.

You may request that a release be taken down from stores at any time. Takedowns are processed as quickly as stores allow, but timing is outside our control. HypaLabs may also remove or take down Content to comply with law, store requirements, or a valid infringement claim.

You represent that you hold all rights necessary to distribute your Content and that it does not infringe third-party rights. You agree to indemnify HypaLabs against claims arising from your Content or your breach of this agreement.

HypaLabs is not liable for store outages, reporting errors made by stores, or indirect or consequential damages. Our aggregate liability under this agreement is limited to the commission retained on the affected earnings.

This agreement remains in effect while you use distribution services. We may update it to reflect changes in store requirements or law; material changes will be communicated through the platform.
