Services and Pricing

Services and associated fees are published on www.dgrmusicgroup.com or otherwise communicated in writing.

Additional services not listed will require a written quotation and mutual agreement prior to commencement.

Fees are payable in full prior to service initiation unless expressly agreed otherwise.

DGR Music Group Ltd reserves the right to modify pricing and terms to reflect changes in business operations, third-party costs, or exchange rates.

Royalties and Payments

Royalties will only be disbursed once accumulated earnings exceed $25 USD.

Payments are processed quarterly and are dependent on the receipt of cleared funds from third-party retailers and collection partners.

Any applicable transaction or wire transfer fees will be deducted.

We reserve the right to withhold or adjust payments if discrepancies, fraudulent reporting, or content violations are detected.

All income data provided through dashboards or reports is for informational purposes and may be subject to reconciliation.

Accounts found in breach of distribution terms (e.g., fraudulent streaming, bot-driven plays) will have royalties frozen and forfeited.

Artist Warranties and Obligations

You represent and warrant that:

• You are the sole owner or have full legal authority to license the Works.
• The Works contain no uncleared samples, and all contributors (producers, writers, featured artists) have been properly credited and compensated.
• You have obtained and paid for all mechanical, performance, and neighbouring rights licenses necessary for distribution.
• The Works are free from libel, obscenity, or unlawful content.
• You will not engage in artificial manipulation of streams, views, downloads, or any other fraudulent activity.

You agree to indemnify and reimburse DGR Music Group Ltd against any losses, damages, or legal costs arising from any breach of these warranties.

Content Delivery and Quality Control

All audio, artwork, and metadata must be delivered in the specified formats and to industry-standard quality.

We reserve the right to reject or remove content that fails to meet technical, ethical, or legal standards, without obligation to refund.

Late delivery or failure to provide required materials may result in delayed releases or cancellation of services.

Fraud and Compliance

We actively monitor releases for fraudulent, infringing, or deceptive activity.

If any of your Works are found to violate copyright law, distributor terms, or engage in fake streaming manipulation, your account may be terminated immediately.

Any associated royalties may be withheld to offset damages and investigation costs.

You consent to DGR Music Group Ltd sharing relevant information with law enforcement or partners in cases of suspected fraud or legal breach.

Termination

We may terminate this Agreement without notice if:

• You breach any of its terms;
• You engage in fraudulent or illegal activity;
• You or your representatives act in a way that is defamatory, abusive, or damaging to our company or partners.

Upon termination, all rights revert to you except as required to complete existing commercial obligations. Fees paid are non-refundable unless we are found to be in direct breach of contract.
