These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the services provided by KME Network (a unit of Kamta Media & Entertainment), including our website, dashboard, and digital music distribution services. By registering an account and uploading content, you agree to be bound by these terms.
1. Grant of Rights & Copyright Ownership
You retain 100% ownership and copyright of your music. By using KME Network, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide license to distribute, sell, stream, and monetize your audio and artwork across our partner Digital Service Providers (DSPs) such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and telecom networks (Caller Tunes).
2. User Obligations & Original Content
You strictly represent and warrant that:
- You own or have obtained all necessary legal rights, licenses, and permissions to distribute the content.
- Your content does not infringe upon the copyrights, trademarks, or intellectual property rights of any third party.
- You will not upload cover songs without obtaining the proper mechanical licenses.
3. Fraudulent Activity & Artificial Streaming
KME Network has a zero-tolerance policy towards artificial streaming, botting, click-farming, and copyright infringement. If DSPs (like Spotify or Apple Music) flag your content for fraudulent activity:
- We reserve the right to immediately take down your content without prior notice.
- Any royalties generated from artificial or fraudulent streams will be frozen, forfeited, or returned to the DSPs.
- Your account may be permanently suspended or terminated.
4. Royalties & Payouts
The Professional plan costs ₹4,500 for a 3-year term, including GST. Plan fees and revenue share are separate.
We will pay you the royalties collected from DSPs based on the pricing plan you selected during registration. Please note:
- Royalty reporting times vary by platform. Your first royalty report becomes available after the relevant platform reports your earnings.
- Royalty payouts are processed every month directly to your registered bank account when your available royalty balance is above ₹3,000. This threshold applies to all plans.
- KME Network is not responsible for delayed payouts caused by late reporting from third-party platforms.
5. YouTube Content ID Policy
If you opt-in for YouTube Content ID monetization, you confirm that your track contains 100% original material. Tracks containing non-exclusive beats (e.g., leased beats from BeatStars), un-cleared samples, or public domain audio are strictly prohibited from being submitted to the Content ID system.
6. Account Termination & Takedowns
Takedowns are free on all plans, including Basic. You may submit a takedown request through your dashboard.
- Entire catalogue removal: Give at least 3 months of advance notice if you want to remove all of your content.
- Small takedown requests: Requests for a few songs, such as 1–6 songs, take 3–4 days.
- Bulk takedowns: Allow 1 month for processing.
KME Network reserves the right to terminate your account if you violate these Terms and Conditions.
7. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh.
