DistroLock Terms of Service
As of June 1, 2019

This is DistroKid's abbreviated terms of service to provide you a basic understanding of how DistroLock works. Please note that when you decide to register for a DistroLock account you will be required to read and agree to the full "Terms of Service" found here and on the upload page. You will not be able to register or maintain an account if you do not agree to the Terms of Service.

Now that that's taken care of, here's the deal. When you submit a track to DistroLock, DistroLock will generate acoustic fingerprints & submit them to audio identification services with a request to block unauthorized uploads. We may also make the fingerprints available to other music services so that they can block your music from unauthorized release if someone else tries to upload your music to those services. But DistroKid makes no guarantee that all music services & streaming services will cross-reference their uploads with DistroLock (or any identification service), or that fingerprint technology will perfectly identify all unauthorized uploads.

Please also understand that you must own or otherwise have the right to reproduce and distribute 100% of the sound recordings you submit for registration through DistroLock, and you represent and warrant to us that the exercise of any rights in those sound recordings granted to us will not infringe upon the rights of any third party.

Once you register for DistroLock, keep in mind that the Terms of Service may change from time to time. For that reason, check back here and here often for updates.
