SAFE TUNE MUSIC AGREEMENT

This Music Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a binding agreement between Safe Tune Music, operating from (Rail Line Pakarmatha), Noser Market, Ambagh, Konabari, Gazipur 1703, Dhaka, Bangladesh (“Safe Tune Music,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), and the individual or legal entity registering for or using our services as an artist, record label, music manager, distributor, or rights holder (“you,” “your,” or “Contractor”).

This Agreement governs the use of the Safe Tune Music website, distribution dashboard, sub-account services, and related services for submitting, distributing, administering, and monetizing eligible audio recordings and music video content through participating digital service providers (“DSPs”) and platforms.

By creating an account, electronically accepting this Agreement, submitting Content, or using our distribution services, you agree to comply with the terms below.

If you enter into this Agreement on behalf of an artist, record label, company, or other legal entity, you confirm that you are authorized to represent that party and accept this Agreement on its behalf.

Safe Tune Music does not acquire ownership of your music or videos merely because you use our services. You retain ownership of your copyrights, subject to the distribution and other limited licenses granted under this Agreement.

 

01. ELIGIBILITY AND ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

You must be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement. If you are under 18 years of age or the applicable age of majority, a parent or legal guardian must provide any legally required consent and assume the required responsibilities.

You must provide accurate and current information when registering, including your legal name, artist or label name, email address, contact information, payment details, tax information, and rights ownership information.

You must update your information whenever it changes.

1.3 Account Security

You are responsible for protecting your login credentials and for activities conducted through your account, subject to applicable law.

You must notify Safe Tune Music promptly if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

1.4 Plans and Subscription Fees

Access to distribution services may require a paid subscription, a service fee, a revenue-sharing arrangement, or a separate Partner agreement.

The applicable plan, subscription period, pricing, features, renewal terms, and any additional charges will be disclosed on the Safe Tune Music website, dashboard, or applicable written agreement.

1.5 Sub-Accounts and Label Accounts

Safe Tune Music may provide sub-accounts or multiple-artist account management to eligible labels, managers, and partners.

The primary account holder is responsible for managing authorized users and ensuring that Content submitted through their account complies with this Agreement.

A sub-account does not automatically transfer copyright ownership to the primary account holder or Safe Tune Music.

 

02. CONTENT COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT

“Content” means all materials submitted or authorized for distribution through Safe Tune Music, including:

2.1 Audio Content

  • Singles, albums, EPs, compilations, and sound recordings.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Safe Tune Music may distribute eligible Content worldwide in territories supported by participating DSPs and platforms.

Distribution may include music streaming services, download stores, video platforms, social media platforms, and other digital outlets supported by our services.

Platform availability, territorial coverage, monetization eligibility, and publication dates depend on the requirements and decisions of the relevant third-party platforms.

Safe Tune Music does not guarantee acceptance or publication of every submitted release.

 

04. TERM, SUBSCRIPTION, AND EXCLUSIVITY

4.1 Agreement Term

This Agreement begins when you accept it and remains effective while you use the applicable services, subject to the termination provisions below.

Subscription duration and renewal terms are governed by the applicable plan or Partner agreement.

4.2 Subscription Expiration

If your subscription expires or payment is not received, Safe Tune Music may restrict account access, suspend new deliveries, or initiate takedown procedures according to the applicable plan terms.

Outstanding royalties, legitimate fees, and obligations that survive termination remain subject to this Agreement.

4.3 Distribution Exclusivity

For each release distributed under an exclusive arrangement, you agree not to distribute the same Content through another distributor in a manner that creates conflicting or duplicate distribution while the release remains active under Safe Tune Music.

You must ensure that previous distributors have removed or transferred any conflicting release before submitting it to Safe Tune Music.

Any expressly agreed non-exclusive arrangement will be governed by its written terms.

4.4 No Guaranteed Release Date

Release dates are subject to delivery processing, metadata verification, platform approval, and DSP scheduling. Safe Tune Music is not responsible for delays caused by third-party platforms or incomplete submissions.

 

05. RIGHTS GRANTED TO SAFE TUNE MUSIC

5.1 Distribution License

You grant Safe Tune Music a worldwide license, for the applicable distribution period, to perform the activities necessary to provide the agreed services, including:

  • Making Content available for streaming, downloads, and other authorized digital uses.

  • Processing metadata, credits, artwork, and technical formatting.

  • Delivering necessary information to DSPs and authorized technology providers.

You must have the necessary rights to every element of Content enrolled in such systems.

You must not submit misleading ownership claims, unauthorized samples, or material that conflicts with another rights holder’s legitimate claims.

Content ID eligibility and monetization are subject to the requirements of the relevant platform.

5.3 YouTube and Channel Services

If Safe Tune Music offers and activates YouTube channel management or related services for your account, the applicable permissions and commercial terms will govern those services.

This Agreement does not automatically transfer ownership of your personal YouTube channel.

5.4 Artist Name and Branding

You authorize Safe Tune Music to use the artist or label names, approved images, biographies, logos, artwork, and branding you provide as reasonably necessary to distribute, identify, administer, and promote your Content.

5.5 Ownership of Content

You retain ownership of your music, videos, and associated intellectual property, except for the limited licenses expressly granted under this Agreement.

Safe Tune Music will not sell or transfer ownership of your copyrights merely because you use our services.

We may make technical formatting and metadata changes necessary for delivery but will not creatively remix or materially alter your Content without appropriate authorization.

 

06. COMMUNICATION WITH DISTRIBUTION PARTNERS

Distribution-related requests, including release updates, metadata corrections, takedowns, and royalty inquiries, should ordinarily be submitted through Safe Tune Music.

You agree not to knowingly interfere with Safe Tune Music’s contractual distribution arrangements or circumvent an applicable exclusivity obligation.

Nothing in this Section prevents you from exercising a legal right that cannot lawfully be restricted, contacting a regulator, or obtaining independent legal advice.

 

07. CONTENT DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS AND AI CONTENT POLICY

7.1 Delivery Standards

All submitted Content must comply with the technical, editorial, and legal requirements communicated by Safe Tune Music and the receiving DSP.

You must provide complete and accurate metadata, suitable artwork, correct credits, and all necessary ownership information.

7.2 Audio Requirements

Audio must meet the applicable technical requirements for the relevant platform. Unless otherwise specified in the delivery guidelines, accepted formats and specifications may include WAV files, appropriate sample rates and bit depths, and technically clean audio without corruption or unintended defects.

7.3 Video Requirements

Where video distribution is offered, videos must comply with the relevant platform’s technical and editorial specifications.

Content containing prohibited watermarks, unauthorized promotional overlays, misleading information, or technical defects may be rejected.

7.4 Strict Prohibition on AI-Generated Music and Videos

Safe Tune Music strictly prohibits AI-generated music and AI-generated video content from being submitted for official music distribution under this Agreement.

You must not submit music or video content that has been generated, wholly or partly, by artificial intelligence tools, including AI-generated songs, vocals, instrumentals, music videos, or other AI-generated audiovisual releases.

You are responsible for ensuring that every submitted release complies with this prohibition.

Safe Tune Music may reject, suspend, or remove Content that violates this policy. Material violations may also result in account suspension or termination under Section 14.

This restriction does not automatically prohibit ordinary technical processing or administrative tools that do not generate the submitted music or video. However, you must obtain written clarification from Safe Tune Music if you are uncertain whether a particular production method is permitted.

7.5 Review and Rejection

Safe Tune Music may reject, delay, or request corrections to Content that fails applicable requirements or raises reasonable legal, ownership, technical, or compliance concerns.

Safe Tune Music does not guarantee that a DSP will approve or publish any particular release.

 

08. ROYALTIES, PAYMENTS, AND TAX INFORMATION

8.1 Partner Royalty Share

For accounts governed by the Safe Tune Music Partner royalty arrangement, the revenue share is as follows:

  • Partner / Rights Holder: 70%

  • Safe Tune Music: 30%

The Partner’s 70% share and Safe Tune Music’s 30% share are calculated from the applicable Net Receipts, subject to this Agreement and any separately signed Partner agreement.

These percentages apply to the Partner royalty arrangement and do not automatically determine the revenue share for every other plan or service.

8.2 Definition of Net Receipts

“Net Receipts” means revenue actually received by Safe Tune Music and attributable to your Content after applicable DSP fees, platform adjustments, refunds, chargebacks, statutory deductions, and other legitimate deductions disclosed under the applicable commercial terms.

The 70% / 30% revenue split is applied to the applicable Net Receipts before any separate withholding or payout deductions applicable to the Partner.

8.3 Minimum Payout Threshold

The minimum payout threshold is USD 50.

Your payable balance must reach at least USD 50 before a payout is processed, subject to the applicable payment verification and compliance requirements.

Balances below the minimum threshold may be carried forward to the next payment cycle.

8.4 Monthly Payment Schedule

Safe Tune Music intends to process eligible monthly payouts between the 1st and the 15th day of each month.

Payments depend on the availability of finalized royalty reports, receipt of corresponding revenue, verification of account details, and completion of any required tax or compliance documentation.

If a DSP delays its payment or a verification issue arises, the affected payout may be delayed until the relevant issue is resolved.

8.5 Supported Payment Methods

Payments may be made through the following supported methods:

  1. Bank Transfer.

  2. Payoneer.

You must provide accurate payment details and any verification documents required to process the payout.

Receiving-bank charges, currency conversion fees, and payment-provider charges may apply according to the applicable payment provider’s terms.

8.6 Tax Information and Payout Deductions

You must provide accurate and complete tax information through the Safe Tune Music dashboard.

For the Partner payout arrangement, the following deduction policy applies:

  • If valid tax information is not provided or updated in the Safe Tune Music dashboard: a 30% deduction may apply to the Partner’s otherwise payable royalty amount.

  • If valid tax information is provided and updated in the Safe Tune Music dashboard: a 10% deduction may apply to the Partner’s otherwise payable royalty amount.

These percentages describe the payout deduction policy specified by Safe Tune Music. They must not be interpreted as a statement that the Bangladesh government or another tax authority necessarily imposes tax at these exact rates.

The nature, legal basis, calculation method, and applicability of these deductions must be disclosed to the Partner before they apply. Any amount withheld as tax will be handled in accordance with applicable law, and any separate service or administrative deduction must have an appropriate contractual basis.

If a different deduction is required by applicable law, the legally required treatment will apply. Safe Tune Music may request additional documents where necessary to verify tax status or comply with payment requirements.

8.7 Royalty Statements

Safe Tune Music will provide royalty statements through the dashboard or another designated reporting method.

Statements are based on the reporting information received from DSPs and may be adjusted if third parties later correct, reverse, or update their reports.

8.8 Royalty Disputes

You should notify Safe Tune Music in writing of any specific royalty discrepancy within 30 days after the relevant statement becomes available, where reasonably possible.

Your notice should identify the release, reporting period, disputed amount, and supporting evidence.

This reporting period does not eliminate any non-waivable rights available under applicable law.

8.9 No Guaranteed Earnings

Safe Tune Music does not guarantee any minimum number of streams, views, downloads, placements, or royalty earnings unless expressly agreed in a separate signed written agreement.

 

09. FRAUD AND PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES

Safe Tune Music prohibits fraud, unauthorized Content, and manipulation of platform metrics.

You must not:

  1. Use bots, click farms, fake-stream services, or automated traffic to manipulate streams, views, or engagement.

  3. Upload stolen, plagiarized, counterfeit, or misleading Content.

Where a violation is substantiated, Safe Tune Music may remove the affected Content and apply other lawful remedies.

9.2 Cooperation

You agree to provide reasonable assistance and relevant documentation during a legitimate investigation.

Confirmed violations may be reported to the relevant DSPs or authorities where legally required or permitted.

10.2 Copyright Claims

If Safe Tune Music receives a credible copyright complaint or ownership dispute, it may temporarily restrict distribution or monetization while the matter is investigated.

You may be required to provide relevant contracts, licenses, split sheets, contributor agreements, or other evidence of ownership or authorization.

14. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

14.1 Termination by You

You may request cancellation of your subscription or termination of your account through the dashboard or designated support channel, subject to the applicable plan terms.

Cancellation does not automatically remove Content from DSPs. The relevant takedown process must be completed.

Royalties properly payable to you remain subject to the payment provisions of this Agreement.

  4. Outstanding fees and obligations incurred before termination remain payable where legally due.

  5. Safe Tune Music may retain necessary account and transaction records for legitimate legal, accounting, compliance, and dispute-resolution purposes, subject to applicable law.

Termination does not transfer copyright ownership to Safe Tune Music.

 

15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither party will be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from this Agreement, including anticipated profits or business opportunities.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes liability for fraud, deliberate misconduct, or any other matter for which liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Subject to those exceptions, Safe Tune Music’s aggregate liability arising from this Agreement will not exceed the total fees paid by you to Safe Tune Music during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

This limitation does not eliminate any royalty payment obligation that is legally due.
