Terms and conditions

These terms govern the use of soundacer.com and the submission of applications for access to distribution by Soundacer, a brand of Sound Strategy Group, S.L. (full details in thelegal notice). By using the website or submitting an application, you accept them.

1. What we offer

Soundacer is a digital music distributor: we publish the music of artists, labels and managers on streaming platforms and digital stores (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, TikTok, YouTube and others), and support it with marketing services such as playlist pitching. The website provides information about these services and lets you apply for access.

2. Access applications

• Applying for access is free and creates no obligation.
• Submitting an application does not mean you will be onboarded and does not create a contractual relationship. Our A&R team reviews every application and Sound Strategy Group, S.L. reserves the right to accept or reject it at its sole discretion.
• The Top plan is exclusive: it requires prior approval from the A&R team.
• You undertake that the details you provide are truthful and that the music you share is yours or that you have the right to share it.

3. Plans and distribution contract

The description of the Starter, Pro and Top plans on the website is for information purposes. If your application is accepted, the relationship is governed by the distribution contractwe will sign, which sets out the final terms (royalty percentage, exclusivity, duration, payments and included services). In the event of any difference between the website and the contract, the contract prevails.

• Royalties: the percentages shown (65% on the Starter and Pro plans, 60% on the Top plan) go to the artist. Royalty percentage after deducting the necessary costs of intermediaries and platforms required for proper distribution.
• Exclusivity: the Starter plan has no exclusivity or lock-in; the Pro plan has 1 year of exclusivity and the Top plan 2 years, under the terms set out in the contract.
• No subscriptions: distributing with us has no fees. Some optional services, such as paid media campaigns or music production, are offered at a discount and contracted separately.

4. What we cannot guarantee

We pitch to editorial playlists and to our own and partner playlists, but playlist placement, the number of streams and earnings depend on the platforms, their editors and the audience, so they are not guaranteed. The figures on the website are real results of specific artists and not a promise of results.

5. Prohibited content and practices

We do not distribute content that infringes third-party rights, is unlawful or breaches the platforms’ rules. Generating artificial streams (bots, stream farms or similar services) is not allowed either: it may lead to the content being taken down and royalties being lost.

6. Use of the website

You must use the website and its forms lawfully. Sending spam, unsolicited paid promotion offers or attempting to damage or overload the service is not allowed. We may block submissions we detect as abusive.

7. Intellectual property

The content of the website belongs to Sound Strategy Group, S.L. or its owners (see the legal notice). Your music remains yours: distributing with Soundacer does not mean transferring ownership of your works or recordings.

8. Personal data

We process your data in accordance with the privacy policy.

9. Changes

We may amend these terms; the version in force is the one published on this page. Changes do not affect contracts already signed, which are governed by their own terms.

10. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by Spanish law. Disputes shall be submitted to the courts and tribunals of Madrid, unless the law provides for a different jurisdiction (for example, that of the consumer’s place of residence). Before going to court, please write to us at [email] and we will look for a solution.
