This is a valid and binding legal contract between you (the "Client", "Artist", "Label", or "User") and arLabs Music. Please read every section carefully before using our services.
By creating an account, accessing the dashboard, or uploading materials into the arLabs Music system, you unconditionally agree, submit to, and are bound by all the terms, conditions, and obligations set forth in this Agreement.
If you do not agree to these provisions, you are strictly prohibited from using our services.
By uploading sound recordings ("Tracks"), metadata, lyrics, artwork, and other related assets (collectively referred to as "Content"), the Client grants arLabs Music the exclusive, irrevocable right during the Term of the Agreement to manage, distribute, publish, reproduce, and monetize the Content to our entire network of Digital Service Providers (DSPs) worldwide.
arLabs Music possesses the full and exclusive right to collect all revenue generated from the exploitation of the Client's Content on digital platforms.
The Client grants the Company the right to utilize the Music Secure system (including Content ID) to protect the Client's Content. arLabs Music reserves the unilateral right to take preventive legal or administrative actions against third parties misusing the Content.
For Artist Exclusive and Label Exclusive services, this Agreement remains in full force for a period of 3 (three) years from the date the Content is successfully uploaded and distributed.
During the Term, the Client is strictly prohibited from transferring, taking down, or redistributing the identical Content through any other third-party distributor or aggregator. Violation may result in immediate withholding of royalty revenue.
The exclusive term may exceed 3 years for certain binding Agreements (such as funding programs or special services), subject to the written consent of the involved parties.
arLabs Music will pay royalties to the Client in the amount of 70% (seventy percent) of the Net Revenue actually received. arLabs Music will retain a commission of 30% (thirty percent) as compensation for technology infrastructure, dashboard ecosystem maintenance, and zero-upfront-fee distribution services.
"Net Revenue" is defined as the total actual funds received from DSPs, after deducting absolute compliance and operational costs. These costs include mandatory cross-jurisdictional taxes (Withholding Tax), foreign exchange conversion adjustments, global transaction banking administration fees, and processing fees from aggregation partners.
The minimum payout threshold is set at €5 (Five Euros). Upon submitting a withdrawal request via the dashboard, this amount will be converted into Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) at the banking exchange rate applicable on the day the transaction is processed.
arLabs Music reserves the right to delay, cancel, or withhold the Client's royalty payments if copyright disputes, fraud reports, or breaches of this Agreement are discovered, without any obligation to pay interest on the withheld funds.
The Client's Content may be connected to integrated services provided by arLabs Music Affiliates, including but not limited to Aura Music Publishing, Hypeglow Agency, and Music Secure.
The utilization of arLabs Music Affiliate services is a privilege governed by separate additional terms. arLabs Music fully reserves the right to refuse integration if Content does not meet the Company's quality or commercial standards.
The Client fully represents and warrants that they possess the legal authority and exclusive rights to all uploaded Content, and that the Content is 100% free from any third-party copyright claims — including but not limited to uncleared samples, instrumentals/beats, and lyrics.
Should arLabs Music receive any claims, warnings, fines, or legal lawsuits from DSPs or third parties as a result of copyright infringement by the Client, the Client shall fully indemnify, defend, and hold arLabs Music harmless. arLabs Music reserves the absolute right to deduct costs of such damages directly from the Client's royalty balance. In the event the Client's balance is insufficient, the Client is legally obligated to pay the remaining shortfall in cash.
arLabs Music and its DSP partners implement strict system audits. Any form of data manipulation — artificial streaming, use of music bots, third-party play-boosting services, or other analytical engineering — constitutes a severe violation.
Permanently freeze and confiscate the entire royalty balance within the Client's account.
Remove the Client's entire Content catalog from all DSPs without prior notice.
Impose financial penalty fines commensurate with the losses borne by arLabs Music as a result of sanctions imposed by the DSPs.
After the 3 (three) year exclusive period has expired, the Client has the right to submit a request for the termination of distribution and the takedown of Content via the dashboard with prior written notice. (Except for certain agreements binding for more than 3 years, upon the agreement of the involved parties.)
arLabs Music reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to unilaterally terminate this Agreement and remove the Client's Content at any time if the Client is proven to have violated one or more clauses within this Agreement, or if the Client's Content is deemed to potentially damage arLabs Music's business reputation.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Indonesia.
Disputes shall initially be resolved amicably through mutual consultation. If unresolved within 30 (thirty) calendar days, both parties agree to submit to the competent district court within the legal jurisdiction of arLabs Music's domicile.
