Terms of Service
Last updated: November 4, 2026
These Terms cover how Artists, labels, and Creators use SongReward to run and join clipping / UGC campaigns. They are inspired by common practices in clipping marketplaces (campaign funding, approval-based payouts, fraud review, and platform fees) and adapted to how SongReward works today.
1. Agreement to these Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you (“you,” “your”) and SongReward (“SongReward,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the SongReward website, applications, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”).
By creating an account, launching or joining a campaign, submitting content, or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
If you use the Platform on behalf of a company, label, agency, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” includes that entity.
2. Definitions
- Artist / Brand / Label: a user that funds and runs a Campaign to promote music through creator content.
- Creator: a user that joins Campaigns and posts Clips on social platforms in exchange for payouts under Campaign rules.
- Campaign: a promotion on the Platform with a budget, payout rules, creative requirements, target platforms, and other parameters set by the Artist.
- Clip / Deliverable: a short-form video or other content posted publicly on a supported social platform and submitted to a Campaign for review.
- Submission: a Clip URL (or other required materials) submitted through the Platform for Artist review and payout eligibility.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to use the Platform. By using SongReward, you represent that you meet this requirement and that you can form a binding contract.
You must comply with the terms of TikTok, Instagram, YouTube/Shorts, and any other platforms you use when posting Clips. SongReward does not control those platforms.
4. Accounts and security
You must provide accurate account information and keep it updated. You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity under your account.
Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that appear compromised, abusive, or fraudulent.
5. The SongReward Platform
SongReward is a marketplace that helps Artists turn tracks into social reach by launching UGC and clipping Campaigns. Creators join those Campaigns, post Clips using campaign sounds or guidelines, and may earn payouts for approved performance.
Supported Campaign destinations may include TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts, depending on Campaign settings. Features, available markets, and payout models may change as we improve the Platform.
SongReward is not a music distributor, label, publisher, or social network. We do not guarantee virality, chart performance, follower growth, or any specific commercial result.
6. Artists, labels, and Campaigns
When you create a Campaign, you set the budget, platforms, creative rules, payout structure, and other parameters. You are responsible for ensuring your Campaign complies with applicable law, advertising rules, and platform policies (including disclosure requirements for paid or sponsored content where required).
You must fund Campaigns with sufficient balance to cover approved payouts and applicable Platform fees. Unused budget may be subject to Campaign rules and our refund or credit policies as shown in the product at the time of withdrawal or Campaign close.
You are responsible for reviewing Submissions in a reasonable time. You may approve or reject Submissions that do not meet Campaign rules, these Terms, or that raise fraud or quality concerns. Approval of a Submission authorizes the associated payout under the Campaign rules.
You represent that you have the rights needed to promote the music and assets used in your Campaigns, including sound recordings, compositions (to the extent required), artwork, and trademarks.
7. Creators and Submissions
Creators may browse open Campaigns, join those that fit their style, post Clips on required platforms, and submit them for review. Joining SongReward as a Creator is free; payouts depend on Campaign rules and approval.
You must follow each Campaign’s creative guidelines, platform rules, and these Terms. You are solely responsible for your Clips, captions, accounts, and compliance with third-party platform terms.
Submissions may be scored for bot likelihood or other risk signals and may be held for review. SongReward and Artists may reject or claw back payouts tied to invalid, inflated, purchased, or otherwise inauthentic engagement.
You grant SongReward and the relevant Artist a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, and distribute your approved Clip for Campaign administration, reporting, fraud review, and marketing of SongReward or the Campaign, unless a Campaign states narrower rights.
8. Fees, payouts, and taxes
Artists. SongReward charges a platform fee of 10% on amounts paid out for work you approve, unless a different rate is shown for your account or Campaign at the time of charge. There are no subscriptions, setup fees, seat fees, or listing fees for standard use of the Platform. Payment-processing fees charged by payment providers may apply when you fund a Campaign and will be shown at checkout when available.
Creators. Joining and browsing Campaigns is free. Payouts are calculated under each Campaign’s rules (for example, CPM, per-post, or other models we support) and are only due for approved, valid Submissions. Timing of credits and withdrawals may include validation windows, holds for fraud review, and minimum withdrawal amounts shown in the product.
You are responsible for any taxes arising from your use of the Platform or your earnings. We may require tax information before enabling withdrawals.
Fee schedules and payout mechanics may change; material changes will be reflected on the Platform (including the Pricing page) and, where required, communicated to you.
9. Intellectual property
SongReward and its licensors own the Platform, branding, software, and documentation. These Terms do not transfer ownership of our IP to you.
Artists retain ownership of their music and Campaign assets, subject to the licenses needed for Creators to post and for SongReward to operate Campaigns. Creators retain ownership of their original Clip content, subject to the licenses in Section 7 and Campaign terms.
You must not scrape, reverse engineer, or misuse the Platform except as allowed by law.
10. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- buy, inflate, bot, or otherwise fabricate views, likes, follows, or other engagement metrics;
- submit Clips that infringe IP rights, violate privacy/publicity rights, or break platform rules;
- post illegal, hateful, pornographic, deceptive, or otherwise harmful content;
- misrepresent your identity, audience, or relationship to an Artist;
- circumvent fees, approval flows, fraud checks, or geographic / eligibility restrictions;
- harass users, attempt unauthorized access, or interfere with Platform operations.
We may remove content, withhold payouts, ban accounts, or report activity to platforms or authorities when we reasonably believe these rules were broken.
11. Fraud, validation, and clawbacks
SongReward may use automated and manual review, including bot-likelihood scoring and third-party view verification where available, to assess Submissions and payouts.
If engagement is later determined to be invalid or a Submission violated Campaign rules or these Terms, we may reverse credits, offset future payouts, reclaim funds, or require repayment. Artists may also reject or escalate suspicious Submissions.
12. Disclaimers
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SONGREWARD DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant uninterrupted service, error-free metrics, or that Campaigns will achieve any particular reach or revenue outcome. Third-party platforms may change APIs, policies, or availability at any time without notice to us.
13. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SONGREWARD AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE PLATFORM.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE PLATFORM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE FEES YOU PAID TO SONGREWARD IN THE THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).
14. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SongReward and its affiliates from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your content, Campaigns, Clips, misuse of the Platform, or violation of these Terms or third-party rights.
15. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Platform at any time. We may suspend or terminate access immediately if you breach these Terms, create legal risk, or engage in fraud or abuse.
Provisions that by nature should survive (including IP licenses already granted, fees owed, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnity) will survive termination.
16. Changes to the Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, except where applicable law requires additional consent.
17. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where SongReward is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence provide otherwise. Courts in that jurisdiction will have exclusive venue, subject to those mandatory protections.
Note: Replace this section with your company’s formal governing law, venue, and entity details before production launch.
