This Digital Distribution Services Agreement ("Agreement") is a legally binding contract between PlayGeet Private Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of India with its principal place of business in Gurugram, Haryana ("PlayGeet", "we", "us", "our"), and the artist, musician, band, or label registering on and using the PlayGeet platform ("Artist", "User", "you", "your").

By completing registration and accessing any PlayGeet service, you confirm that you have read this Agreement in full, understood its contents, and agree to be bound by all its terms. If you disagree with any part of this Agreement, you must immediately stop using the platform.

2.1 You must read and accept this Agreement in its entirety before accessing or using PlayGeet's distribution services. Completing your registration on the Platform constitutes your unconditional acceptance of this Agreement and all PlayGeet policies referenced herein.

2.2 PlayGeet may update or amend this Agreement at any time. Where changes are material, you will be notified via your registered email address and/or a platform notification at least 15 (fifteen) days before the changes come into effect.

2.3 If you do not accept any proposed changes, you must notify PlayGeet in writing at [email protected] within 5 (five) days of receiving the change notice, using the subject line "Objection to Agreement Amendment". PlayGeet will treat this as a termination request and proceed accordingly under Clause 6 of this Agreement.

2.4 Continuing to use PlayGeet's services after the effective date of any amendment constitutes your full and unconditional acceptance of the revised Agreement.

2.5 PlayGeet's right to amend this Agreement includes the right to add, remove, restructure, or modify any individual provision. No amendment shall affect rights already accrued by either party prior to the amendment date.

3.1 PlayGeet offers the following subscription tiers:

PlayGeet Core Plan — Annual fee of ₹799. Users on this plan may distribute unlimited Tracks to all available Distribution Channels and are entitled to receive 80% (eighty percent) of Net Receipts generated from their Content.

PlayGeet Pro Plan — Annual fee of ₹2,499. Users on this plan receive all Core Plan benefits along with priority customer support, advanced royalty analytics, and additional platform features, and are entitled to receive 85% (eighty-five percent) of Net Receipts generated from their Content.

3.2 Irrespective of your subscription tier, revenue generated via the YouTube Content ID program shall be distributed at a ratio of 70% to the Artist and 30% to PlayGeet from amounts actually received by PlayGeet from YouTube. PlayGeet does not guarantee enrollment in or acceptance by the YouTube Content ID program, as eligibility is determined solely by YouTube's own policies and criteria.

3.3 All subscription fees are payable in advance, are strictly non-refundable once paid, and are not calculated on a pro-rata basis for any unused portion of the subscription period.

3.4 PlayGeet reserves the right to introduce, modify, or discontinue subscription features and pricing with no less than 30 (thirty) days written notice to registered Users. Your continued use of the service following any such change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

3.5 PlayGeet may, at its discretion, enter into custom revenue-sharing arrangements with select Users. Such arrangements shall be documented in a separately executed addendum to this Agreement, which shall prevail over any conflicting terms herein to the extent of the conflict.

3.6 PlayGeet may offer additional paid features, promotional tools, or one-time services outside the scope of standard subscription plans. Terms and pricing for such features will be communicated at the point of opt-in. Any advertising or marketing budget payments may be refunded for unused balances remaining after 7 (seven) days from campaign completion, net of applicable taxes and payment gateway fees.

3.7 The features, entitlements, and service descriptions published on the PlayGeet Pricing Page are subject to the terms of this Agreement. However, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the PlayGeet Pricing Page with respect to the specific features or services offered under each subscription plan, the terms published on the PlayGeet Pricing Page shall prevail to the extent of such conflict.

3.8 Depending on the applicable PlayGeet subscription plan, certain Users may not be entitled to:

• Submit multiple versions of the same Track on the PlayGeet Platform, including but not limited to remixes, extended versions, clean versions, explicit versions, or any other alternate versions of the same Track; and
• Select specific territories for the distribution and release of their Tracks via the PlayGeet Platform.

The specific entitlements available under each plan are published on the PlayGeet Pricing Page and may be updated from time to time in accordance with Clause 3.4 of this Agreement.

4.1 PlayGeet shall calculate your Royalty Share on the basis of Net Receipts actually received and reconciled during each reporting cycle. Royalty data from Distribution Channels may be delayed by up to 60–90 days from the month of streaming, and PlayGeet's reporting timelines reflect this reality.

4.2 You may initiate a payout of your accrued earnings at any time, subject to the following minimum thresholds:

• Users with Indian bank accounts: ₹2,000 (Rupees Two Thousand)
• Users with international bank accounts: USD 50 (United States Dollars Fifty)

4.4 PlayGeet shall be entitled to adjust, withhold, or set off against your accrued Royalty Share: (a) Amounts owed by you to PlayGeet for any reason; (b) Amounts under active investigation for fraud, infringement, or policy violations; (c) Costs incurred by PlayGeet directly attributable to your Content or account.

4.5 Where earnings remain unclaimed in a dormant account — defined as an account with no login activity for at least 3 (three) consecutive months and no withdrawal made for a continuous period of 2 (two) years — PlayGeet reserves the right to reclaim such amounts. PlayGeet will make reasonable efforts to notify you by email before exercising this right.

4.6 You are solely responsible for identifying and paying any royalty share owed to co-writers, featured artists, producers, or other collaborators. PlayGeet's obligation extends only to paying your designated share as registered on the Platform.

4.7 Any payment dispute or discrepancy must be formally raised in writing within 1 (one) year of the relevant payment date. Beyond this period, the payment shall be deemed accepted and final.

4.8 All amounts payable under this Agreement are exclusive of applicable taxes. You are solely responsible for all taxes, levies, and duties arising from your earnings.

4.9 Without limiting PlayGeet's other rights and remedies under this Agreement, you agree that: (a) All accrued Net Receipts associated with your account shall be forfeited if PlayGeet determines that your use of the Platform, Services, or any Track or Content involves or is connected to any fraudulent, infringing, or unauthorized activity; and (b) Any costs incurred by PlayGeet as a direct or indirect result of fraudulent or infringing activity attributable to your account or your affiliates — including but not limited to legal fees, investigation expenses, clawback amounts demanded by Distribution Channels, and third-party settlement costs — may be deducted by PlayGeet from any amounts otherwise payable to you under this Agreement, without any further obligation to seek your prior approval.

5.1 You hereby grant PlayGeet a non-exclusive, worldwide license (or such limited territory as you may specify via the Platform), sub-licensable to Distribution Channels, to reproduce for distribution purposes, deliver, transmit, stream, and otherwise make available your Content through Distribution Channels for commercial exploitation by end consumers.

5.2 The license granted herein is non-exclusive. You retain full freedom to simultaneously distribute your Content through other distribution services or directly to Distribution Channels, unless a specific Distribution Channel imposes territorial exclusivity conditions, in which case PlayGeet will notify you separately.

5.3 This license does not transfer ownership of your master recordings, musical compositions, publishing rights, or any other intellectual property to PlayGeet. Ownership of all rights in your Content remains entirely with you.

5.4 PlayGeet is authorized to use your artist name, track titles, release dates, and cover artwork solely for the purpose of distributing, cataloguing, and promoting your Content on Distribution Channels and on the PlayGeet Platform. No other commercial use of your name or likeness shall be made without your separate written consent.

5.5 Distribution Channels may, under their own standard platform terms, use short previews or clips of your Content for editorial or promotional purposes without separate monetization. PlayGeet does not control and is not responsible for such platform-standard uses.

5.6 PlayGeet may, in its sole discretion, decline to distribute any Content to any specific Distribution Channel without incurring liability to you.

5.7 If any Distribution Channel does not agree to secure, maintain, or pay for applicable music publishing licenses or mechanical royalty obligations in connection with your Content, PlayGeet shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to decline to distribute your Content to or through that Distribution Channel. PlayGeet shall not be liable to you for any lost revenue or opportunities arising from such a decision.

5.8 For the purpose of monitoring, tracking, and reporting the exploitation of your Tracks through Distribution Channels, PlayGeet and its third-party distribution service providers may apply automated tracking solutions, content fingerprinting technology, ISRC codes, and other standard industry identification codes to your Content as part of the distribution process. By submitting your Content to the Platform, you expressly consent to such tracking and identification processes as a standard and necessary component of the distribution service.

5.9 PlayGeet shall have no obligation to actively promote, market, or advertise your Content. Any promotional support offered by PlayGeet shall be entirely at its discretion and shall not create any contractual expectation of specific outcomes.

6.1 This Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues for as long as you maintain an active PlayGeet subscription, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this clause.

6.2 You may terminate this Agreement at any time by sending a written termination notice to [email protected] with the subject line "Distribution Agreement Termination Request". A termination request for any specific Track may not be submitted earlier than 1 (one) calendar month following that Track's original distribution date on the Platform.

6.3 Upon receipt of a valid termination notice, PlayGeet shall initiate the Takedown process within 72 (seventy-two) hours. You may withdraw your request within this window. Once the 72-hour period has elapsed, the Takedown will proceed and cannot be reversed without a fresh resubmission.

6.4 PlayGeet shall not be held responsible for delays by Distribution Channels in removing your Content. Following Takedown initiation, Content may remain visible on certain platforms for up to 7–14 business days depending on each platform's own processing timelines.

6.5 PlayGeet may suspend or terminate your account and distribution services at any time, with or without prior notice, if: (a) You breach any material term of this Agreement or any PlayGeet policy; (b) Credible evidence of fraud, streaming manipulation, copyright infringement, or other prohibited activity is associated with your account; (c) Continued distribution of your Content creates legal, reputational, or financial exposure for PlayGeet; (d) PlayGeet is directed to do so by a court, regulator, or applicable law.

6.6 If your subscription lapses, is cancelled, or is not renewed: (a) Your Content may continue to be distributed on active Distribution Channels unless you submit a written Takedown request to [email protected]; (b) During the period between Subscription Discontinuance and Takedown completion, PlayGeet shall retain 50% (fifty percent) of Net Receipts generated from your Content as compensation for ongoing distribution infrastructure costs.

6.7 You acknowledge that Tracks for which distribution services have been terminated or revoked may remain available on certain Distribution Channels under pre-existing licenses or arrangements between PlayGeet and those Distribution Channels. In the event PlayGeet incurs costs in connection with your Tracks following termination, PlayGeet may deduct such costs from any amounts payable to you.

6.8 Termination of this Agreement shall not affect any royalties already accrued and owing to you before the termination date, subject to applicable thresholds, deductions, and conditions set out in Clause 4.

6.9 The license granted to PlayGeet over your Content shall survive termination solely to the extent necessary to allow PlayGeet to complete any outstanding distribution obligations or wind down existing arrangements with Distribution Channels in an orderly manner.

7.1 You are solely responsible for ensuring that all Content submitted to the Platform meets PlayGeet's technical specifications, metadata requirements, and editorial standards as set out in the PlayGeet Content Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference and available on the Platform.

7.2 Failure to meet submission standards may result in your Content being rejected, delayed, or removed from Distribution Channels without any refund of subscription fees.

7.3 Where Content is rejected due to technical deficiencies or failure to meet Distribution Channel requirements, you shall bear the full cost of correction and resubmission. PlayGeet shall not be obligated to resubmit rejected Content.

7.4 PlayGeet does not guarantee specific commercial outcomes including streaming numbers, chart placements, editorial playlist inclusions, or revenue levels. Distribution outcomes depend on consumer behavior, platform algorithms, and market conditions beyond PlayGeet's control.

By entering into this Agreement and submitting Content to the Platform, you represent, warrant, and undertake on a continuing basis that:
