Artist Agreement

You retain 100% ownership of your master recordings and underlying musical compositions. CRY DIGITAL Media claims no ownership rights over your intellectual property. You represent and warrant that you own or control all necessary rights to the Content you submit, including any samples, beats, or featured performances, and that your Content does not infringe upon the rights of any third party.

CRY DIGITAL Media will collect royalties generated from the exploitation of your Content on DSPs. We will remit these earnings to your account balance, subject to the commission rate specified in your chosen pricing plan (e.g., 15% for basic accounts, 0% for Pro accounts). Payments are calculated based on the accounting reports provided by the DSPs, which typically operate on a 60-90 day delay. You are responsible for any taxes associated with your earnings.

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver your Content to the DSPs you select. However, we cannot guarantee that any specific DSP will accept your Content, nor can we guarantee specific placement, playlisting, or streaming numbers. DSPs reserve the right to reject or remove Content at their sole discretion based on their internal guidelines and quality standards.

You agree not to submit Content that is illegal, offensive, or violates the terms of service of our DSP partners (e.g., artificial streaming manipulation, copyright infringement). If we receive a valid copyright infringement notice (such as a DMCA claim) or detect fraudulent activity, we reserve the right to immediately remove your Content, freeze your account, and withhold associated royalties pending investigation.

This Agreement commences upon your acceptance and continues until terminated by either party. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by requesting the takedown of your Content through your dashboard. CRY DIGITAL Media may terminate the Agreement and remove your Content if you breach any of these terms. Upon termination, we will instruct DSPs to remove your Content, though residual copies may remain in their systems for a brief period.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CRY DIGITAL Media, its affiliates, and its DSP partners from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of this Agreement, your infringement of any third-party rights, or any claim that your Content violates applicable laws.

Any disputes arising under this Agreement shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If a resolution cannot be reached, the dispute shall be subject to binding arbitration in the jurisdiction where CRY DIGITAL Media is legally established. You agree to waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit against CRY DIGITAL Media

We may update this Artist Agreement periodically to reflect changes in industry standards, DSP requirements, or our business practices. We will notify you of significant changes via email or a dashboard notification. Continued use of our distribution services after such updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised Agreement.
