However, they may carry out any other distribution for self-promotion purposes in their own name. Kick Label agrees to distribute the original creations on its international digital platforms, the names of which will be communicated to the Artist later, in the event of acceptance of the creations into their catalog.

Kick Label will cover all distribution costs, as well as administrative and material needs necessary for the dissemination of the original creations on digital platforms.

The Artist retains full intellectual property rights to their original creations, including copyright.

The Artist acknowledges that they own all rights related to the creations submitted to Kick Label for distribution. Kick Label disclaims all liability in the event of a legal dispute brought by a third party, and therefore the Artist agrees to resolve any legal action taken against Kick Label. In the event of a violation of copyright on titles submitted by the Artist, Kick Label may remove all contentious content from the platforms without any compensation of any kind being payable.

Kick Label collaborates with the following digital platforms for the digital distribution of the provided tracks (non-exhaustive list): iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Napster, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Tidal, Google Play, Pandora, Shazam, Youtube Music, etc. The tracks may be accepted or refused on one or several platforms according to their respective criteria. Therefore, Kick Label cannot guarantee visibility on a specific platform but will use all means at its disposal to distribute the tracks on as many platforms as possible.

Kick Label is not responsible for the distribution of video content. As part of their promotion, the Artist reserves the right to distribute the video clips or audiovisual content related to their original creations.

For quality reasons, original creations must be provided to Kick Label at least in 16-bit/44kHz WAV format, and preferably in 24-bit/48 or 96kHz WAV format. Kick Label reserves the right to refuse any recording that does not comply with these digital constraints. The Artist must also provide Kick Label with all information regarding the musical creations: stage name of the Artist, authors, composers, titles of each track as well as of the album or single, but also a cover in JPG format of at least 1080*1080 pixels, non-pixelated, indicating the stage name of the Artist as well as the title of the work, without any mention of commercial or promotional text or logo of brands.

Kick Label reserves the right to use the media provided by the Artist (music tracks, images, etc.) for the purpose of promoting Kick Label and/or the Artist on social networks or websites.

Any manipulation of the number of streams by any means, including the use of scripts, robots, or intensive looped streaming that does not represent a model of organic or natural streaming, is strictly prohibited. Platforms that do not pay royalties for streams resulting from these abuses will not be reimbursed, and it may result in the removal of the tracks from all platforms.

This contract is valid until all of the Artist's tracks are removed from the platforms, either at the Artist's own initiative (takedown) or at Kick Label's initiative in case of non-compliance with the contractual conditions.

In accordance with current laws on performance royalties, streams on digital platforms are subject to remuneration proportional to the number of plays (Performance Royalties). The Artist authorizes Kick Label to collect these royalties in order to pay them back to them. The remuneration rate for each stream is determined based on several criteria, including the country of the stream, the type of subscription (free, premium), the digital platform, etc. This rate is updated monthly based on the listening profile of the audience (Free subscription, Premium subscription, Country of streaming, etc.). Kick Label will retain a commission of 10% for management fees on the royalties collected for the Artist.

Any dispute will be settled amicably before any legal proceedings. The competent court of jurisdiction is that of Madrid.
