TUNE TRADR
What we do for your music, what you keep, how royalties work, and how releases come down.
You keep 100% ownership of your music and artwork. You grant us the right to distribute and monetise it for a minimum term of 3 years per release, on every plan. You earn up to 95% of royalties, paid out after a ₹1,000 (₹) / $50 (intl) minimum, and you can take your catalogue down — free once your term completes, or for a small per-song fee if you leave early.
This Distribution Agreement (the "Agreement") is between you ("Artist", "you") and Tunetradr Records Private Limited ("Tunetradr", "we", "us"), and applies when you submit music for distribution through our Services. It works together with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Tunetradr provides digital distribution of your music to streaming platforms and stores, royalty collection and reporting, YouTube Content ID monetisation, artist-profile verification support, and metadata management. We act solely as your distributor.
You retain 100% ownership of your sound recordings, musical compositions and artwork. Tunetradr never claims ownership of your copyright — we only distribute on your behalf.
For as long as this Agreement is active, you grant Tunetradr the right to deliver and distribute your Content to stores and DSPs, to monetise it (including via Content ID), to collect royalties on your behalf, and to provide reporting and analytics. This right ends when your Content is removed in line with this Agreement.
Every release you deliver through Tunetradr carries a minimum distribution term of 3 years, starting on the date that release goes live on the stores. This 3-year minimum term applies on every plan.
Your subscription is billed separately from the distribution term: Standard and Premium renew yearly, and the Custom Label (Distributor) plan runs on a single 5-year term. Where your plan term is longer than 3 years, the plan term applies to Content delivered under it. Choosing not to renew a yearly plan ends your access to the Services, but does not by itself end the 3-year minimum term for Content already live — removal is handled under section 10, and the early-removal fee applies if the 3 years have not yet completed.
During your active term, Tunetradr is your exclusive distributor for the Content delivered through us. Once a release has completed its minimum term, you are free to remove it or move it elsewhere at no cost.
See the full breakdown on our pricing page. Fees are non-refundable once your Content has been delivered to stores, subject to our Refund Policy.
You earn 90% (Standard) or 95% (Premium and Custom Label) of the net revenue Tunetradr receives from the platforms for your Content. Royalties are calculated on the net amount actually received from each platform. Tunetradr does not guarantee any level of streams, revenue or earnings.
You can request a payout once your balance reaches the minimum threshold of ₹1,000 (India) or $50 (international). Valid withdrawal requests are processed within 7 working days. You are responsible for providing accurate payout details and for any applicable taxes.
We may reject or remove Content that infringes copyright, breaches platform rules, contains false or misleading metadata, or is involved in a legal dispute — see our User Guidelines and Anti-Fraud Policy.
Tunetradr does not guarantee playlisting, streams or earnings. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability under this Agreement is limited to the fees you paid us in the previous 12 months.
You agree to indemnify and hold Tunetradr harmless from claims arising out of your Content, including copyright issues, false claims of ownership, or any breach of this Agreement.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of India, and the Indian courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from it.
