Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") are an agreement between Video Generation, Pachora, Jalgaon, Maharashtra ("Video Generation", "we", "us"), and you, the artist, label or rights holder ("you"). They apply to every release you submit through videogeneration.in or the artist dashboard at new.t9music.com, and to every service we provide for it. You accept them when you create an account or submit a release.

In these Terms, "Works" means the sound recordings, compositions, artwork, videos and metadata you submit. "Stores" means the streaming services, download stores, social platforms, telecom operators (for caller tunes) and YouTube that we deliver to. "Net Receipts" means the money we actually receive for your Works, from Stores directly or through our distribution partners, after their fees and any tax withheld.

1. Your Music Stays Yours

We respect your moral rights as the author of the Works under Section 57 of the Copyright Act, 1957, and we will not alter a Work in a way that misrepresents you or harms your reputation. Format conversions a Store requires (file encoding, artwork resizing) are not alterations.

2. The Licence You Give Us

For as long as this agreement runs, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to:

• reproduce, deliver and make the Works available to the public through the Stores you select, and sub-license them to those Stores only as far as they need to offer the Works to listeners;
• register and manage the Works in YouTube Content ID, and in telecom caller-tune (CRBT) catalogues, where you choose those services;
• collect Net Receipts from the Stores on your behalf;
• use your artist name, approved photographs, artwork and biography to identify and promote your releases.

Because the licence is non-exclusive, you remain free to license the same Works elsewhere — except that the same recording must not be delivered to the same Store or registered in Content ID by two distributors at once, which Stores treat as a duplicate and may remove.

3. Who Can Use Video Generation

• You must be at least 18 years old to accept these Terms. An artist under 18 may release music only through a parent or legal guardian who opens the account and accepts these Terms on the artist’s behalf, and royalties are paid to that guardian’s verified account.
• If you act for a label or a band, you confirm you have the authority to bind them.
• You must give accurate identity and payout details (including PAN for royalty payments) and keep your login credentials private. You are responsible for activity on your account.

4. Plans, Fees & Royalty Share

• Free Plan: no upload or release fee. You receive 90% of Net Receipts; we retain 10% as our fee.
• Pro Artist: ₹1,999 per year + GST, paid in advance for 12 months. You receive 100% of Net Receipts earned during the paid period. Included features are those listed on the pricing page on the date you pay.
• Label Elite and White-label (Core, Advanced, Enterprise): priced by written quotation. Where a signed order or agreement exists, its commercial terms take precedence over this clause.
• If a Pro Artist plan is not renewed, your releases stay live and your account continues on Free Plan terms from the day after expiry.
• Prices are exclusive of GST. GST at the applicable rate (currently 18%) is added at checkout, so Pro Artist costs ₹2,358.82 a year in total. We will not change the price of a period you have already paid for, and we give at least 30 days’ notice by email before any price change applies to you.

5. Royalty Statements & Payouts

• Earnings appear in your dashboard as monthly statements. Stores report and pay in arrears, typically two to three months after the streams, so each statement reflects the Store reports received that month.
• We pay out when your available balance reaches ₹5,000. Below that, the balance carries forward and never expires; once it reaches ₹5,000 it is paid in the next monthly payment cycle.
• When this agreement ends, we pay your full remaining balance, whatever the amount, once the final Store reports for your Works have been received.
• Payouts go only to a bank account or UPI ID verified in the name of the account holder. We deduct tax at source where the Income-tax Act, 2025 requires it and issue the corresponding TDS certificate. If you are GST-registered, give us your GSTIN so invoicing is correct.
• We pay only what Stores have actually paid us. If a Store later reverses a payment (for example, for artificial streams), the reversed amount is deducted from your balance and shown on your statement.

6. Your Promises About Your Content

For every Work you submit, you confirm that:

• you own it or control all the rights needed to distribute it, including the composition, the recording, the artwork and any samples;
• for a cover version, you hold the licence from the composition’s owner that each territory requires;
• it does not infringe anyone’s copyright, trademark, privacy or personality rights — including an AI-generated voice or likeness of a real artist used without that artist’s written consent;
• it is not defamatory, obscene or otherwise unlawful in India, and contains no malicious code;
• your metadata (titles, artist names, credits, language, release date) is accurate;
• you are not bound by any other contract that prevents you from accepting these Terms.

7. What Is Not Allowed

• Buying or arranging artificial streams, views or followers (bots, stream farms, paid playlist schemes), or using the Works to manipulate Store charts.
• Claiming in Content ID any material you do not exclusively control, such as public-domain recordings, licensed beats or third-party samples.
• Uploading another person’s release, or impersonating another artist.

If a Store or our checks show any of these, we may withhold the earnings linked to the affected Works only, for as long as the Store’s review or the dispute lasts, and remove those Works. Earnings from your other, unaffected Works are not withheld. Any penalty a Store charges us because of your breach may be deducted from your balance.

8. Delivery, Stores & Timelines

• We review each release before delivery and may decline or remove a release that breaks these Terms or a Store’s content rules. We will tell you why.
• Delivery times on our website are typical times, not promises. Each Store decides when, and whether, a release goes live.
• Caller-tune (CRBT) availability depends on each telecom operator’s approval, and YouTube Content ID eligibility depends on YouTube’s policies. We cannot guarantee playlist placements, streams, approvals or earnings.
• We are not responsible for a Store’s own failure to publish, pay, remove or update a release, but we will pursue it with the Store on your behalf.

9. Ending the Agreement & Takedowns

• You can also take down an individual release at any time, free of charge, without ending the agreement.
• We send the takedown instruction to every Store within the notice period. Stores remove content on their own schedules, which can take a few weeks; earnings reported for streams before removal are still paid to you.
• We may end this agreement with 30 days’ notice. We may suspend or end it immediately only if you commit fraud, infringe someone’s rights, arrange artificial streams, or seriously breach these Terms and do not fix the breach within 15 days of our written notice.
• Clauses 1, 5, 10, 11, 12 and 15 continue after the agreement ends.

10. Refunds & Cancellation (Pro Artist)

• After a refund, the Pro Artist plan ends and we start taking your releases down from the Stores straight away. Allow at least 30 days for removal from every Store.
• After 14 days the annual fee is not refundable, but cancelling stops renewal and your Pro Artist benefits continue until the end of the paid year.
• The Free Plan has no fees, so no refund applies. Quoted Label Elite and White-label work follows the refund terms in its order.

11. Responsibility for Claims

If a third party brings a claim against us because a promise you made in clause 6 or 7 was untrue, you will cover our reasonable losses and legal costs arising from that claim. We may recover an amount that has been finally decided or agreed from your royalty balance; we will not deduct disputed amounts while a claim is still open, other than earnings linked to the disputed Works under clause 7.

12. Limits of Our Liability

We are not liable for indirect losses such as lost opportunities or reputation, or for the acts of Stores and telecom operators. Our total liability to you in any 12 months is limited to the fees you paid us in those 12 months plus any royalties due to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Indian law, or your rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

13. Confidentiality & Privacy

Each side keeps the other’s non-public business information (statements, rates, unreleased music) confidential during the agreement and for two years after it ends. How we handle personal data is set out in our Privacy Policy.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as our services or the law change. For a material change we email you at least 30 days before it takes effect. If you do not accept the change, you may end the agreement before it applies, free of charge, under clause 9.
