These terms govern use of SongBounty’s website and services, between you and Biz Solutions INC.
Effective date: March 15, 2026 Last updated: July 18, 2026
These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Biz Solutions INC., a Wyoming corporation operating the SongBounty brand and service ("SongBounty," "we," "us," or "our"), and govern your access to and use of the SongBounty website, applications, audits, reports, client portal, and any related services (together, the "Service").
By accessing the Service, submitting an audit request, uploading a catalog, creating an account, or purchasing a plan, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" refers to that entity.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
SongBounty provides music-catalog royalty audit and monitoring services for self-published songwriters, recording artists, managers, and small rights-holders. Depending on the plan you select, the Service may include:
SongBounty may add, remove, or modify features at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes to paid plans.
You represent and warrant that:
SongBounty may decline to onboard, or terminate, any account that does not meet the eligibility criteria or that falls outside our intended market. We may request reasonable verification (for example, PRO affiliation, CAE/IPI numbers, or catalog ownership documentation) before beginning or continuing service.
Once the client portal launches, you will create an account to access paid Services.
Current pricing is published on songbounty.com/pricing. Published prices are in U.S. dollars and exclude taxes unless stated otherwise.
Paid plans are billed monthly in advance. Your subscription starts on the date we accept your order and renews automatically for successive one-month terms until you cancel.
You authorize SongBounty and our third-party payment processor to charge your payment method for all fees due. If a charge fails, we may retry, suspend the Service, or terminate the account after notice.
We may change fees with at least 30 days' written notice before the start of a new billing cycle. If you do not agree, you may cancel before the change takes effect.
You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, and similar governmental charges other than taxes on SongBounty's net income.
You may cancel at any time from your account settings or by emailing contact@songbounty.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access until then.
Except where required by law, all fees are non-refundable, including fees for partial months, unused periods, and features you did not use. If we materially reduce a feature set during a paid period, we may offer a pro-rated credit at our discretion.
The Free Scan is provided one time per rights-holder at no cost and does not require a payment method. The Free Scan is informational only and subject to the disclaimers in §11.
"Your Content" means any catalog data, files, ISRCs, ISWCs, metadata, documents, messages, or other material you submit to the Service.
You retain all ownership rights in Your Content. These Terms do not transfer any copyright or other ownership to SongBounty.
You grant SongBounty a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, analyze, transmit to the sub-processors listed in our Privacy Policy, and display Your Content solely to:
This license ends when you delete Your Content or close your account, except for backups retained per the retention schedule in the Privacy Policy and any copies we are required to keep by law.
We may generate aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data from Your Content, and we may use, sell, license, and otherwise disclose that data to any third party — including publishers, distributors, collection societies, data and analytics partners, and other companies — for any lawful purpose, including operating, improving, marketing, and commercializing the Service and our data products. Aggregated and de-identified data is not personal information: it is processed so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify you, your catalog, or any individual rights-holder, and we do not attempt to re-identify it. This right survives termination of your account and these Terms.
You are solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and completeness of Your Content. You will not submit content that:
SongBounty may sell, license, and otherwise disclose aggregated and de-identified data (as described in §6.4) to third parties, including music publishers, distributors, collection societies, and data and analytics partners, for compensation or otherwise.
The Service, including the SongBounty audit methodology, report templates, software, data models, dashboards, brand, logos, and documentation (collectively, the "SongBounty IP"), is owned by SongBounty and its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service and the reports we deliver to you, for your internal business or personal royalty-management purposes, for the duration of your subscription. You may share individual reports with your accountants, attorneys, PRO, and other professional advisors on a confidential basis.
You may not: (i) resell, sublicense, or publicly distribute SongBounty IP; (ii) use SongBounty IP to build a competing service; (iii) reverse engineer, decompile, or scrape the Service except as permitted by law; (iv) remove copyright or proprietary notices; or (v) use SongBounty's name or logo without our prior written consent.
You agree not to:
We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach this section, with or without notice.
The Service integrates with third-party data sources and platforms (for example, Spotify, YouTube, ASCAP, BMI, the MLC, and other sub-processors listed in our Privacy Policy). Your use of those third-party services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies. SongBounty is not responsible for the accuracy, availability, or conduct of any third-party service, and is not liable for any loss arising from them.
Reports are delivered by email, SharePoint link, Microsoft Teams notification, or — once available — through the client portal. The specific delivery channel may change at our discretion.
For PROTECT and MONITOR plans, SongBounty may, at your written direction, submit claims, registrations, or takedown notices on your behalf. You authorize SongBounty to act as your limited agent for these specific tasks. You remain the rights-holder of record, you may revoke this authorization at any time, and you are responsible for the accuracy of the underlying claims. SongBounty will not initiate legal action on your behalf.
Reports and dashboards are informational only. SongBounty is not a law firm, accounting firm, licensing agent, collection society, or PRO. Our reports, dashboards, alerts, and communications do not constitute legal, tax, financial, accounting, or licensing advice, and should not be relied on as a substitute for professional advice.
No guarantee of recovery. We do not guarantee that any royalties, claims, or takedowns identified or pursued will result in payment, recovery, restoration, or any specific financial outcome. Royalty recovery depends on third parties — including PROs, the MLC, DSPs, publishers, labels, and collection societies — whose decisions and timelines are outside our control.
Data accuracy. Audit results depend on data provided by you and by third-party sources (Chartmetric, Spotify, YouTube, ASCAP, BMI, the MLC, and others). We take reasonable steps to validate this data, but it may be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate.
"As is." To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service, reports, and all materials are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply to the maximum extent permitted.
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and are an essential part of the bargain between you and SongBounty. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted.
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SongBounty and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and affiliates from and against any third-party claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
SongBounty will promptly notify you of the claim and reasonably cooperate with your defense. You may not settle any claim in a way that admits fault on behalf of SongBounty or imposes any obligation on us without our prior written consent.
By you. You may terminate at any time by cancelling your subscription (see §5.6).
By us. We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if (i) you breach these Terms, (ii) you fail to pay fees when due, (iii) we reasonably suspect fraud or abuse, (iv) required by law, or (v) continued service would expose SongBounty to material legal, financial, or reputational risk. We may also terminate any plan on 30 days' notice for convenience; in that case, we will refund any prepaid fees for the unused portion of the current term.
Access at our discretion. Access to the Service is a revocable permission, not a right. We — and, where applicable, our publisher, distributor, and other industry partners under our agreements with them — may grant, condition, restrict, suspend, or deny your access to the Service, to specific features, or to specific data, reports, or content, at our sole discretion and for any lawful reason, including eligibility, contractual, competitive, security, or business reasons.
Without limiting the foregoing, we may restrict or deny access to any person or entity who is, or whom we reasonably believe to be, directly or indirectly affiliated with, employed by, owned or controlled by, acting for, or providing information to any music publisher, administrator, rights organization, or competitor that we designate as ineligible. We may implement any such restriction with or without notice, and may do so by limiting, disabling, or withholding some or all functionality, data, or content — up to and including displaying no content following login — and we are not obligated to state our reasons. Exercising this right does not create any liability to you and does not waive any of our other rights. If we restrict access to a paid account for reasons other than your breach, we will refund any prepaid fees for the unused portion of the then-current term (see §5.7).
Effect of termination. On termination: (a) your right to access the Service ends; (b) you may request an export of Your Content for 30 days after termination, after which we may delete it per the retention schedule in the Privacy Policy; (c) accrued payment obligations survive; and (d) Sections 6.2, 6.4, 6.6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16 survive termination.
Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.
Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by emailing contact@songbounty.com with a written description of the dispute and your proposed resolution. We will do the same. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days, either party may proceed to arbitration.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in Cheyenne, Wyoming or by videoconference at the arbitrator's discretion, in English. The arbitrator's award is final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You and SongBounty agree that Disputes will be brought only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for Disputes within that court's jurisdiction, in lieu of arbitration.
You may opt out of §§15.2–15.3 within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing contact@songbounty.com with the subject line "Arbitration opt-out" and your account email. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information, without first resorting to arbitration.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. For any Dispute not subject to arbitration, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Wyoming.
Except where prohibited by law, any Dispute must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise it is permanently barred.
We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will notify you by email (if we have your address) or by a prominent notice on the Site at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you may cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.
