Terms of Service

These terms cover your use of Distovia, the distribution platform operated by Distovia.

Your account

You are responsible for what happens under your login. Keep your password to yourself, and turn on two-factor authentication if your account holds money. Tell us immediately if you think somebody else has got in — we would far rather hear about it early.

Your music stays yours

You keep every right you had in your recordings and compositions. You give us the permission we need to deliver them to the stores you choose, and to show artwork and previews where that is part of distributing them. Nothing here transfers ownership.

What you promise us

• You have the rights to everything you upload — the recording, the composition, the artwork, the samples.
• The metadata is honest. Artist names, featured artists and release dates are not tools for gaming a store.
• You will disclose AI-generated content where any part of a track was machine-generated. Stores require this, and undisclosed AI releases are being removed by them.
• You will not upload anything unlawful, or anybody else's work presented as your own.

If a claim is made against something you uploaded, we may take it down while it is sorted out. We will tell you why, and you can respond.

Money

Stores report revenue on their own schedule — usually 45 to 60 days after the end of the month the streams happened in. We pass on your share according to your plan and any splits you set. Withdrawals are paid to the account you verify. Payouts can be held while we check something; if that happens we will tell you what and why.

Deductions applied before you are paid — withholding tax, or the recoupment of an advance you took — are itemised on your statement. We do not take anything that is not shown there.

Takedowns and leaving

You can request a takedown at any time; stores usually act within a few days. You can close your account and take your catalogue with you. Earnings already generated are still yours and will still be paid.

What we do not promise

We cannot promise a store will accept a release, that it will go live on a particular day, or that any playlist will take it. Those decisions belong to the stores. We can promise to tell you what they said.

Service and interruptions

We aim to keep the platform running and to say so plainly when it is not. Maintenance is announced in the app in advance where we can.

Ending things

You may stop using Distovia at any time. We may suspend an account for fraud, impersonation, repeated rights infringement, or abuse of the people who work here. Where we do, we will say why.

Getting in touch

Support lives in the app, and support@bemusix.com reaches the same queue. A person reads it.
