together the "Parties".

1. Purpose

1.1 RetLabel runs an online music platform at retlabel.nl (the "Platform"). Promotion companies and playlist curators can run a company page there, curate playlists, receive track submissions from artists, and run promotion campaigns for artists.

1.2 Using the Promoter portal is free of charge. Agreements about campaigns are made between the Promoter and the artist. RetLabel is not a party to them and charges no commission on them, unless agreed otherwise in writing.

2. Fair promotion: no artificial streams

2.1 The Promoter only uses methods that reach real listeners, such as advertising, playlist curation, PR, creators and social media.

2.2 The Promoter may never use or sell bots, scripts, stream farms, paid fake plays, account sharing, or any other method that generates artificial streams, followers or likes, on the Platform or anywhere else for artists of the Platform.

2.3 RetLabel checks streams automatically and manually. Streams that RetLabel reasonably considers artificial do not count. If the Promoter breaches article 2.2, RetLabel may remove the Promoter's page, playlists and campaigns and end this agreement immediately. RetLabel informs the Promoter with reasons, and the Promoter may respond first.

3. Submissions and playlists

3.1 The Promoter decides independently which submitted tracks it accepts. It responds within the response time shown on its page, and gives honest, respectful feedback.

3.2 If the Promoter charges a submission fee, the fee is shown before the artist submits, and it pays for the review, never for a guaranteed placement.

3.3 Playlists of the Promoter on the Platform must be curated by people, must show the Promoter as curator, and may not be sold as guaranteed stream numbers.

4. Campaigns

4.1 The Promoter describes each campaign honestly, with realistic goals, and reports on it through the Platform with real data and evidence.

4.2 The Promoter is solely responsible for its services towards the artist, including payments, refunds and compliance with the terms of the platforms it works on and with applicable law, including consumer, advertising and tax law.

5. Licence and content

5.1 The Promoter keeps all rights in its logo, texts and playlist concepts. It grants RetLabel a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence, for the duration of this agreement, to show them on the Platform and to use them to promote the Promoter and the Platform.

5.2 Music on the Platform remains the property of the artists. The Promoter may only use it as allowed on the Platform, or with the artist's permission.

6. Confidentiality and personal data

6.1 The Promoter keeps unreleased music, briefs and statistics it receives from artists confidential, and uses them only for the campaign or submission concerned.

6.2 Each Party is a separate controller under the GDPR for the personal data it processes. The Promoter only uses contact details of artists for the submission or campaign concerned, and not for unsolicited marketing.

7. Term and termination

7.1 This agreement starts when both Parties have signed it, and runs for an indefinite period.

7.2 The Promoter may end it at any time with 14 days' notice, and RetLabel with 30 days' notice. Either Party may end it immediately in case of a serious breach by the other Party. Running campaigns are completed or settled with the artists concerned.

8. Liability

The Promoter indemnifies RetLabel against claims of artists or third parties that result from its services or from a breach of this agreement. RetLabel's total liability under this agreement is limited to €500, except in case of intent or gross negligence.

9. Other provisions

9.1 This agreement may be signed electronically in the portal (Regulation (EU) No 910/2014, eIDAS), or printed, signed by hand and uploaded.

9.2 If a provision is invalid, the other provisions remain in force.

9.3 This agreement is written in English. Translations are for convenience only.

9.4 This agreement is governed by Belgian law. Disputes go to the competent courts of Ghent, Belgium (division Oudenaarde).
