By accessing or using SyncForge ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our services.

2. User Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep your account information up to date.

3. Content Ownership & Licensing Rights

You retain 100% ownership of all music and content you submit to SyncForge. By using our platform, you grant SyncForge a non-exclusive, worldwide license to:

  • Represent your music to potential licensors (brands, agencies, production companies)
  • License your music on your behalf for sync placements
  • Collect licensing fees and distribute payments according to our revenue split agreement
  • Display your music and promotional materials on our platform and marketing channels

You may revoke this license at any time by removing your music from the platform or closing your account, subject to any existing licensing agreements.

4. Payment & Membership

SyncForge offers both free and paid membership tiers (Core/Pro). Paid memberships are billed annually through PayPal or Stripe.

Revenue Split: For sync placements, SyncForge receives 50% of licensing fees. Artists receive 50% of licensing fees plus 100% of PRO (Performance Rights Organization) composer royalties for broadcast placements.

Payments are processed via escrow and released upon approval of submissions. Payment timelines and methods are detailed in our payout policy.

5. User Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Submit music you do not own or have rights to license
  • Upload content that infringes on intellectual property rights of others
  • Engage in fraudulent activity or misrepresent your music or credentials
  • Interfere with the proper functioning of the platform
  • Use automated systems (bots) to access the platform without permission

6. Limitation of Liability

SyncForge provides services "AS IS" without warranties of any kind. We are not responsible for:

  • User-submitted music content or its accuracy
  • Data loss, service interruptions, or technical errors
  • Third-party actions, including licensors, payment processors, or PROs
  • Loss of potential income from unsuccessful submissions or placements
  • Disputes between users or between users and third parties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SyncForge's total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the past 12 months.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

We make no guarantees regarding sync placements, income, or platform availability. The music industry is competitive and unpredictable. Success depends on many factors beyond our control, including music quality, market demand, and timing.

8. Termination

You may cancel your account at any time. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or engage in fraudulent activity.

Upon termination, your license to use the platform ends immediately. However, any existing licensing agreements remain valid until their natural expiration.

9. Modifications to Terms

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes via email or platform notification. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

10. Governing Law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes shall be resolved through arbitration in accordance with U.S. law.
