Legally binding terms of service, catalog warranties, and royalty governance governing Independent Artists, Record Labels, and B2B Distributors operating on Munex Digital.
Artists retain full unencumbered ownership of sound recordings. No exclusive lock-in. Quarterly billing cycles with direct royalty remittances.
Consolidated management for multi-artist catalogs, proprietary brand imprints, and custom C/P lines. Monthly renewals with centralized statements.
Distributors submit catalog releases for mandatory Admin QA review. Zero self-approval. Strict multi-tenant data quarantine governed by B2B agreements.
This agreement is entered into between Munex Digital Media Pvt. Ltd. (Platform Operator / Admin) and registered client users (Artists, Record Labels, and Distributors). Every client utilizing the distribution infrastructure must adhere strictly to these role-tailored provisions.
Munex Digital provides digital sound recording delivery, DDEX ERN 3.8.3 XML metadata ingestion, automated ISRC/UPC barcode allocation, and multi-tier royalty accounting to global Digital Service Providers (DSPs)—including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, TikTok/ByteDance, Meta Music, and regional telecom streaming partners.
Our architecture enforces a three-tier separation of concerns:
Direct creator accounts for solo musicians and independent composers.
Consolidated management for multi-artist catalogs and label imprints.
Multi-tenant B2B wholesale workspaces provisioned solely by Platform Admins.
You retain complete and unencumbered ownership of all copyright, master sound recordings, compositions, lyrics, and artwork uploaded to your Artist account. By uploading, you grant Munex Digital a non-exclusive, worldwide license solely to encode, transcode, ingest, deliver, publically perform, monetize, and stream your assets across authorized DSP channels.
As an Artist, you warrant that every track submitted is either entirely original or created with fully cleared, written commercial licenses for every sample, instrument loop, beat lease, or vocal interpolation used. Unlicensed uncleared samples or sound recordings copied from third parties will result in immediate catalog rejection.
Artist subscription terms are structured on a quarterly (3-month) cycle. Upon the conclusion of your initial active period, your subscription will automatically renew quarterly unless updated or terminated prior to the renewal date.
Royalty earnings are aggregated from verified DSP remittance reports. Artists may request withdrawal disbursements once their net balance meets the minimum threshold ($10.00 USD or equivalent local currency). Payouts are made directly to the verified legal bank account or mobile payment gateway configured in your account.
You may request the removal or takedown of any or all of your distributed releases at any time. Munex Digital will issue DDEX ERN takedown messages to all DSP partners within two (2) business days; storefront removal times are subject to individual DSP ingestion schedules (typically 24–72 hours).
Any entity registering or operating as a Record Label explicitly warrants that it possesses valid, executed recording agreements, exclusive distribution licenses, or written powers of attorney from all artists whose tracks are uploaded under its roster. The Label agrees to furnish copies of such contracts upon request by Munex Digital compliance auditors.
Record Labels are entitled to register proprietary label imprints, trade names, and custom copyright attribution (C-Line and P-Line metadata). All releases distributed under the label will reflect the designated label name across digital storefronts worldwide.
Following the initial 3-month activation term, Record Label accounts transition to a standard monthly renewal cycle (1 month). Labels enjoy priority metadata validation and batch multi-track release allocations commensurate with enterprise catalog operations.
While Munex Digital provides automated split percentage reporting, the Record Label bears the ultimate legal and fiduciary responsibility for disbursing earned royalties to its signed performers, lyricists, composers, and session musicians in accordance with their respective private contracts.
The Record Label unconditionally indemnifies, defends, and holds harmless Munex Digital, its directors, officers, and DSP partners from any third-party lawsuits, damages, legal fees, or copyright claims resulting from releases uploaded by or under the Label account.
Distributor accounts are enterprise B2B partner entities. There is no public self-registration for Distributor accounts. Each Distributor workspace is reviewed, provisioned, configured, and activated solely by Munex Digital Platform Administrators. Initial administrative credentials are created by Platform Admins and must be updated upon first sign-in.
Distributors possess comprehensive tools to upload audio, enter metadata, and bundle releases for their associated artists and labels. However, Distributors do not possess authority to mark releases as 'Live' or bypass Platform Ingestion QA. Every single release submitted by a Distributor must enter the Admin Verification Queue. Only certified Platform Administrators hold authorization to approve, reject, or dispatch releases to authorized DSP delivery pipelines and distribution networks.
A Distributor’s administrative access is strictly quarantined to creator accounts, record labels, catalogue assets, and financial ledgers mapped to that Distributor’s unique organizational ID. Under no circumstances may a Distributor inspect, query, or interact with unlinked creators, independent direct artists, or other distributor organizations on Munex Digital.
Wholesale commission percentages, platform service fees, volume discounts, waterfall distribution models, and customized payout settlements are governed by independent master service agreements executed between the Distributor and Munex Digital. In the event of an operational divergence between these general platform terms and a formally signed B2B contract, the signed B2B agreement shall supersede and control.
Distributors are strictly accountable for all actions conducted through their workspace credentials. Sharing login credentials, delegating access to unauthorized third parties, or failing to report compromised accounts will result in immediate suspension of the Distributor tenant workspace.
For every release, track, audio recording, and artwork asset submitted to Munex Digital by any Artist, Record Label, or Distributor, you explicitly warrant and represent that:
You own all master recording rights or possess valid written synchronization and mechanical licenses from all copyright owners.
All samples, beats, and interpolations have been formally cleared in writing from the master rights holders.
Your submission contains no copyright-infringing content, unaccredited sound recordings, or deceptive metadata designed to impersonate existing artists.
Audio assets adhere to lossless delivery standards (minimum 44.1 kHz / 16-bit or 24-bit WAV/FLAC) and artwork is square (minimum 3000 x 3000 px).
All releases—regardless of whether they originate from an Artist, a Record Label, or an Independent Distributor—are subject to mandatory review by Platform Administrators before delivery to digital service providers.
QA Compliance Checks: Platform Admins inspect audio loudness, frequency integrity, parental advisory tags, artwork quality, spelling of artist credits, and duplicate ISRC allocations.
Delivery Dispatch: Once approved, the release is ingested into configured delivery pipelines: automated DDEX SFTP, direct DSP REST APIs, or authorized distribution delivery channels.
Munex Digital maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy against artificial streaming, automated bots, playlist farm syndicates, loop-play scripts, and fake plays intended to inflate royalty payouts.
Initial 3-month activation term, followed by automatic Quarterly (3 months) renewal periods.
Initial 3-month activation term, followed by automatic Monthly (1 month) renewal periods.
Cryptographic Idempotency: All payout transactions and ledger adjustments execute with unique cryptographic idempotency keys to guarantee that no account experiences duplicate deductions or duplicate disbursements.
DSP Statement Lag: Royalties are credited only when official remittance statements are received and parsed from DSPs, typically running 60 to 90 days after the calendar month in which streams occurred.
These Terms & Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of Bangladesh. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these terms or platform operations shall be resolved through good-faith mutual negotiations, failing which it shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Dhaka, Bangladesh.
