How Does The Label-Artist Contract Work?

  1. Contract assignment flow starts on the Artist Account side. To send a request for contract assignment, an artist needs to enter their Label Account ID and contract terms in their Artist Account Profile. Be sure that you provided your artists with the valid Label Account ID that you can find inside your Label Account Profile. Click the Copy button and send the ID to an Artist by any suitable means.
  2. The Artist should select Yes in the block that says "Do you have a Contract with a Music Label?"
    Enter the Label Account ID and the contract term.
  3. The Music Label will receive an email notification that an artist started the contract assignment. Also, you'll see a new record in the Artist's menu with a "needs approval" notice.

    Note: You need to connect PayPal for your Label Account so that fan purchases for each artist can be delivered there.

  4. As soon as a Music Label accepts the contract, they start receiving the revenue described above. The signed contract is in effect during the defined period of time. The system tracks the contract terms and sends notification emails to a Music Label Account that their contract with an Artist is about to expire. The notification is sent: 

  • 30 days before the Contract Term End Date
  • 20 days before the Contract Term End Date
  • 10 days before the Contract Term End Date

    5. When a contract expires, the record about this artist is still present in the Artist's menu. It can be hidden in case a Label has renewed a contract with an Artist by clicking the "Don’t show the expired contracts that were renewed" checkbox.  

Is A Music Label Able To Cancel A Contract?

A Music Label can cancel Label-Artist Contracts at any time. You just need to hover a mouse on Yes and click it. In the confirmation pop-up, select Cancel Contract. Note: from the moment this occurs, the Label will no longer receive revenue for items sold by the Artist(s), with the exception of the Artist Songs in their account co-owned by the Label, and sold in their account. Also, you will lose access to the Artists' Assets in their Site Builder.

How To Populate Songs & Artists In Your Music Label

To have songs and artists show up within your Music Label Account, the artist of a particular song needs to add you as the owner of that Song Recording. When creating the song in an Artist Account, simply search for and add the Music Label that is associated.

After your Music Label is added as the owner of a song, you'll receive a stock email that looks like the following image. Go into your Music Label Account and accept ownership of that song recording.
