11. Products and Services on our Site and our Subscription Plans

11.1 Your rights to access the products and services on our Site depend on you registering as a user and having an active subscription plan (see below for further details).

11.2 You must first become a registered user of our Site (see paragraph 9 above) in order to access any of our subscription plans. Once you become a registered user, you will be allocated a user profile page from which you can sign up to any of our subscription plans currently being the Artist, Producer, or Label plans. For details of each of those subscription plans including the payments required to access them and the features of each plan, please click HERE, or view the Site. Details will also be provided when you sign up for your chosen subscription plan. We can, at our discretion, decide your eligibility as a registered user and/or a subscriber for such plans at any time and disallow your use.

11.3 Your initial subscription plan is for a minimum of 3 years and, thereafter, available renewable on an annual basis (or such other recurring basis of which we inform you prior to you purchasing or renewing your chosen plan) depending on the plan you choose, until terminated by you or us in accordance with these terms. The reason for this minimum 3-year period is that it can take time for us to register your Compositions and, thereafter, for us to be accounted to by collective management organisations (most of whom account twice yearly) and for monies to be generated by retailers and sent to wholesalers or collecting societies and then be sent to us. As we invest in the administration process, we feel that 3 years is the minimum period for us to endeavor to provide a high-quality administration process.

11.4 The cost of each subscription plan is stated when you log in to our Site from time to time.

11.5 In order to sign up to one of our subscription plans, you must first supply our payment processors with credit or debit card information or Paypal information or such other payment method that we set out on our Site from time to time to accept payment ("Payment Information"). After having supplied us with your Payment Information, and our being satisfied with such information, your user account will then be used to pay for your chosen subscription plan. Your Payment Information shall also be used when we make payments to you. We may request authorization from the financial institution issuing your Payment Information in order to confirm its validity and to verify your eligibility to participate in any subscription plan.

11.6 Once you sign up to a subscription plan, that will constitute a contract between you and us which is governed by this Agreement.

11.7 By providing your Payment Information, you agree that we may automatically begin charging you for your chosen subscription plan immediately (and on such other recurring basis of which we inform you prior to you purchasing your chosen plan).

11.9 Your Payment Information will be used for future orders but if you wish you may change that Payment Information on your user profile page. If you do change your Payment Information, you must provide us with new Payment Information if you wish to continue with your subscription plan.

11.10 Please note that the issuer of your Payment Information may make charges to you for making your payments so please check with your payment processor regularly for details.

11.11 If we do not receive authorization for your Payment Information or if your payments fail at any time, your account and all our products and services will immediately be suspended. This will be until such time as we receive authorization for your Payment Information, or you provide us with new authorized and working Payment Information together with the whole amount of any payment due. It is critical therefore that if you change your Payment Information, you inform us immediately via your user profile page.

11.12 We may change (including increasing) our subscription pricing at any time and also vary or terminate our subscription plans from time to time but will inform you in advance of any such price or plan changes and how they affect your plan and payments and any price increases shall only take effect from the next plan period, should you choose to renew. We will have no liability for any such changes to the extent permitted under applicable law. Those price and plan changes will take effect from the start of your next subscription period after the change. Your continued use of your plan will confirm your acceptance to the price and plan changes, however if you do not agree to the price and/or plan changes, you can unsubscribe from your chosen plan but you must do this before the start of the next subscription period via your user settings page (link here). If you do not do this, you will have confirmed your agreement to the changes in accordance with these terms.

13. Cancelling your chosen subscription plan

You can cancel at any time by visiting your profile page or contacting customer services, but you will not receive a full or partial refund of any subscription fees already paid for the period of your plan. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the then remaining period of your chosen plan.

14. MUSIC PUBLISHING ADMINISTRATION SERVICES

14.1 As a subscriber to one of our plans, with a valid user account, you can use our music publishing administration services.

14.2 As soon as you have signed up to one of our subscription plans, subject to paragraph 14.4 below, you hereby appoint us (and our successors, licensees, and assigns) as the exclusive administrator in every capacity and aspect of music publishing administration during (i) the Term (as defined below) (ii) the Retention Period (as defined below) and (iii) throughout the Territory (as defined below) of one hundred percent (100%) of all your right, title, and interest ("Your Interest") in those musical works (including music and lyrics if any) (“Compositions”) you submit to us via your user account on our Site ("Compositions"). You warrant and represent that you will submit all Compositions that you own, exclusively control, and/or create during the Term.

14.3 Submitting your Compositions: After signing up to one of our subscription plans, please submit your Compositions for Melody Rights to administer. Our submission instructions are here [ADD LINK] (“Submission Instructions”). Please read those instructions carefully as we need all the metadata and other information required in order to be able to administer your Compositions. Without limitation to the Submission Instructions, when submitting Compositions, it will be necessary for you to provide identifying codes, along with the percentage copyright interest representing your Interest in each Composition. Upon our request, you must execute and deliver to us any reasonably required documents pertaining to the rights granted to us in the Compositions. Failure to comply within ten (10) business days of our request may result in the termination of your Account, at our discretion.

14.4 Our right not to agree to administer your Compositions: We may, in our absolute discretion, but acting in good faith, not proceed with administration (or terminate existing administration) of any (or all) Compositions or other content provided as part of the Services if we consider the Compositions are Restricted Compositions. Restricted Compositions are Compositions that are:

We will also not “take over” a third-party administrator’s account as our Service is designed for users who are first signing with an administrator.

14.5 Our Administration Rights

Apart from the Exclusions, the rights granted to Melody Rights include, without limitation, the following sole and exclusive rights in and to all Compositions:

You acknowledge that the term of individual licenses may extend beyond the Term outlined herein and authorize Melody Rights to negotiate such licenses on your behalf.

In essence: We reserve the right to collect royalties accrued during or before the exploitation period. If your works are not adequately registered after termination or expiry of this Agreement and royalties continue to be directed to us, we shall not be liable for that or in breach of this Agreement. In such cases, we will proceed to deduct our standard % fee from those royalties before remitting the remainder to you based on your account level.

15. Sound Recording Ancillary Administration Services

15.1 We are also able to offer sound recording ancillary administration services should you choose to use them. As a subscriber to one of our plans, with a valid user account, you can choose to use our sound recording ancillary administration services.

15.2 In order to make use of these services, you must also be the exclusive owner of, or a royalty-bearing performer on sound recordings and/or audio-visual recordings (“Recordings”) and have the right to register those sound recordings with neighbouring rights organisations such as PPL in the UK and Sound Exchange in the US. Please see Paragraphs 14.1-14.4 above as these provisions equally apply to these services. As an example, the same applies to Restricted Recordings as applies to Restricted Compositions.

15.3 If you so appoint us (using your user account) you can sign up here [ADD LINK] or on the Site and you:

16. Sync Licenses

16.1 You maintain the exclusive authority to negotiate and grant synchronisation licenses based on your preferred terms for the utilisation of your Compositions (and/or Recordings) via "traditional" methods. These encompass one-off licenses for audio-visual works such as films, television productions, commercials, and video games, excluding usage under Blanket Licenses, small performance rights, and promotional videos (collectively referred to as "Traditional Sync Licenses"). Any Traditional Sync Licenses will be established directly between you and your licensees, and you will retain the responsibility of collecting the license fees associated with such licenses.

16.2 If we receive any requests for Traditional Sync Licenses ("Sync License Requests") on your behalf, we will promptly forward them to you using the contact information provided in your Registration Data. Upon receiving a Request, you may opt to ask us to provide non-exclusive Traditional Sync License administration services pertaining to your interest in the Composition mentioned in the Request. We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to accept your request for such services. If accepted, you will engage us for these services on the terms specified below.

16.3 If we agree to handle a Request, the Request will be considered approved by you. We will then proceed to agree terms and negotiate and execute an agreement on your behalf regarding the Request. This agreement will stipulate that payment of any license fees are to be made directly to us on your behalf. We will subsequently remit your share of Net Sums received from such license agreements in accordance with the "PAYMENTS" section outlined in paragraph 17 below.

16.4 Even in the event of the expiration or termination of the Term or Retention Period, our entitlement to receive payment related to licenses pursuant to this paragraph will continue for all requested and approved licenses issued by us prior to such expiration or earlier termination of the Term or Retention Period.

17. Approvals

17.1 If your approval or consent is necessary under this Agreement, we shall notify you of the request (including necessary details of the request) for approval on your user account page. Please ensure you regularly check your user account not only to check the performance of your Compositions but also to see if there are any outstanding requests. The request will be considered approved if you do not respond to a request within [five (5)] business days from the date of such request.

In essence: Unless we agree to, we do not manage any sync rights or licenses for platforms such as movies, TV, advertising, or games – you have the autonomy to manage these arrangements independently.

17.2 Should we receive a sync request for your work, we may propose to oversee the negotiation and licensing process on your behalf. If you consent, you are granting us this authority, and we will deduct a % commission from any finalised license agreement based on your subscription plan.

18. Payments

18.1 We will collect all monies on your behalf from all the administration services we provide in accordance with paragraphs 14 and 15 of this Agreement, your subscription plan, and any other services (such as traditional sync) that you authorise us to undertake (“Gross Receipts”). From Gross Receipts, we will deduct (i) all “out of pocket” payments (including transaction costs) and (ii) relevant tax (including sales and withholding tax if appropriate) as a result of our services (“Costs”). Gross Receipts less Costs shall be referred to as "Net Receipts” from which we shall retain the administration fee as set out in your subscription plan from time to time. Your share (after deduction of our administration fee of Net Receipts) shall be referred to as “Net Sums.”

18.2 Should we, exercising our reasonable business judgment in good faith, suspect that your Account has been involved in fraudulent, infringing, illegal, or other activities violating this agreement (collectively referred to as "Fraudulent Activities"), we reserve the right to postpone the distribution of Net Sums to your account and to restrict your ability to withdraw funds until satisfactory resolution or explanation of the suspected activities is obtained. If any Fraudulent Activities related to the Compositions are identified or brought to our attention, you agree that: (i) the associated Net Sums shall be forfeited by you, and (ii) we may deduct from any monies payable to you hereunder the costs incurred, including amounts refunded to third-party licensees, as well as legal fees and expenses. Additionally, certain licensees may have policies concerning suspected or actual Fraudulent Activities, and you are bound by these policies under this agreement.

In essence: We treat copyright violations with utmost seriousness. If there is even a suspicion of fraudulent activity or misrepresentation of your share on works, we will suspend your account until the matter is resolved and withhold any payments. Legal action may also be pursued.

Please refrain from engaging in fraudulent activities.

19. Accounting

19.1 While you will have daily access to your interim account information via your user account, formal accountings regarding Net Sums payable by us to you under this Agreement will be provided to you via your Account. These accountings will be issued on or before the first day of April for the period ending December 31st of the previous year, and on or before the first day of October for the period ending June 30th. Payment of accrued Net Sums, if any, earned by you during each quarterly period will accompany these accountings.

19.2 In cases where the total Net Sums payable to you for any period do not exceed one hundred U.S. Dollars (US$100), payment will be carried forward to the next accounting period in which the Net Sums payable to you exceed this amount. All statements and accountings provided by us are considered binding upon you and are not subject to objection unless specific objection in writing, indicating the basis thereof, is submitted to us within one (1) year from the date the statement is rendered. Statements and payments will be dispatched following the relevant instructions outlined in your Registration.

19.3 We will keep books and records of all transactions made on behalf of you in reasonable detail. These books and records will be open for inspection by an independent chartered accountant at the place we normally keep such books and records (or, at your election) where accounts, books, and records are held electronically, you may examine the data including by way of a so-called desktop audit, both at your sole costs and expense, only once per calendar year, during our normal business hours and on no less than 45 days prior written notice, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of any royalty statements rendered to you hereunder. All books, records, data, and other information shall be considered to be confidential information.

In essence: Royalty processing requires time to ensure accuracy. We aim to remit payments within 90 days of the end of each accounting period, provided your balance exceeds $100.

For instance: Payments for earnings received in Q1 and Q2 will be disbursed at the end of Q3.

20. Cancellation by You

20.1 The Term remains in effect until after you submit a cancellation request via www.melodyrights.com/contact-support. Upon receipt of such cancellation notice, your subscription will terminate at the conclusion of the current subscription plan period. However, our Retention Period collection rights, along with the regulations of relevant performance, licensing, and collection rights organizations, shall still apply after the end of the Term.

20.2 Subscription fees are non-refundable once paid, and you are responsible for all charges, fees, duties, taxes, and assessments associated with your Account usage. Failure to comply with any provisions of this agreement may result in termination of this agreement and/or your Account by us, at its discretion, with or without notice. In such instances, you remain liable for any outstanding amounts due up to the date of termination.

21. Termination and Suspension

21.1 Breach: If you fail to perform the obligations in this Agreement, this may constitute a breach that can lead to termination or suspension of the Agreement. Additionally, if you deliver Compositions or Recordings that do not comply with your warranties as to ownership, this could result in copyright infringement, which is potentially a criminal offence. In such cases, you could be liable for contract breach damages and potentially fines for copyright infringement.

21.2 Notice of Breach: If you breach any obligations under this Agreement, we can issue a written notice of such breach. If you do not remedy such breach within 30 days (the "Cure Period"), or if the breach is not remediable, we have the right to immediately terminate or suspend this Agreement by providing written notice. Your subscription plan would simultaneously terminate (or be suspended). Email notification is sufficient for this purpose. The decision whether to terminate or suspend is in our absolute discretion.

21.3 In addition, this Agreement will terminate immediately and automatically if:
