Terms of Use

Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using the services of RIP Music Community (hereinafter referred to as the "Platform" or "We"). By registering, starting a membership, or uploading any digital work to our Platform, you are deemed to have accepted all articles of this agreement without exception.

1. Ownership of Works, Copyrights, and Musical Loops

You declare and warrant that you are the 100% legal owner or legitimate licensee of all audio recordings (vocals, arrangements, instrumentation, etc.) and cover artworks that you submit for distribution through the Platform. Applications made with infrastructures belonging to others, stolen, or for which rights have not been purchased will be strictly rejected.

Use of Musical Loops and Samples: The use of legal, licensed, and royalty-free ready-made musical loops, sound packs (samples), or kits in the production process of the works is completely free and does not constitute a rights violation. However, the unauthorized use of copyrighted loops entirely owned by third parties is prohibited. In case of any copyright strike, all administrative, legal, and penal responsibilities belong to the user who uploaded the work.

2. Artificial Streaming and Manipulation

RIP Music Community adopts a zero-tolerance policy against manipulative streaming strategies to protect the ecosystem of music platforms. In order to artificially increase the streaming rates, popularity, or algorithm of the works; using bot software, benefiting from illegal third-party services that promise "guaranteed streams/clicks", or manipulating systemic vulnerabilities is strictly prohibited.

If "Artificial Streaming" is detected in your works by Digital Service Providers (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.), our Platform reserves the right to remove the relevant release from the stores, suspend the artist account, and permanently confiscate the unfair royalty income obtained from this fraudulent process.

3. Revenue Sharing, Payment Thresholds, and Transaction Fees

Your royalty earnings are calculated over the current revenue sharing rates (70%, 80%, 85%, etc.) of the subscription packages (Eco, Full, Plus, etc.) you preferred during registration and are included in. The following rules apply in the execution of financial processes:

• Payment (Withdrawal) Thresholds: In order for artists to request their royalty earnings to their bank accounts via the dashboard, they must have reached the minimum payment (withdrawal) threshold / balance limit specifically determined for the subscription package they have chosen.
• Transfer and Remittance Fees: All bank commissions, intermediary institution deductions, remittance, EFT, SWIFT, and all kinds of transfer costs that will arise during the realization of royalty payments are entirely the responsibility of the artist (user) and are deducted from the sent royalty amount.
• Deduction of Artist-Originated Costs: Any financial loss, penalty, or additional cost that may arise on behalf of the Platform due to the artist's faulty transactions, false declarations, incorrect IBAN notifications, or copyright infringement penalties shall be directly met/deducted from the relevant artist's current royalty income or future balance.

4. Rights to Modify Agreement, Revenue Share, and Payment Threshold

The Platform reserves the right to unilaterally update and change the content of this Terms of Use agreement, the structure of the subscription packages, the revenue sharing rates offered depending on the packages, or the minimum payment withdrawal thresholds at any time.

Validity of Announcements: Even if the financial or administrative changes in question have not yet been updated instantly on our website (visually synchronized); the fact that they have been announced to the users by the Platform via in-system message, e-mail, or registered communication channels is entirely sufficient for the relevant updates to enter into force legally and be considered binding.

5. Prohibited Content

Content containing or promoting the following elements can under no circumstances be distributed to global stores via our platform:

• Hate speech, racism, ethnic discrimination, or elements directly encouraging violence,
• Statements explicitly encouraging the manufacture or use of illegal substances,
• Defamatory, insulting, or materials that damage public peace or the personal rights of third parties.

6. Termination of Service and Takedown

The user may request the removal of their works from digital stores (Takedown) at any time by making a written request to info@ripmusic.co. Takedown processes may take a few weeks depending on the technical transaction density of the relevant stores. Our Platform has the right to unilaterally and without notice terminate the accounts of users who violate the rules of this agreement, are involved in copyright fraud, or exceed the rules of ethics/respect in community communication.
