Terms of use

Terms of use

Effective date: 19 August 2026

These terms govern the relationship between Atropatena Digital (“we”) and anyone using our site and the Atropatena Studio panel (“you”, “the artist”). By creating a Studio account or submitting a release, you accept these terms.

1. Your account

You must provide accurate, current information when registering. Keeping your login details safe is your responsibility — anything done through your account is treated as done by you. If you are under 18, you may not create an account without the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

2. You are fully responsible for what you upload

When you upload audio, cover art, lyrics or any other material, you confirm that:

— you own the composition and recording rights, or hold every permission needed to use them;

— the material contains no third-party sample, song excerpt, instrumental, beat, vocal or image used without permission;

— you have agreed the split with everyone involved (composer, lyricist, arranger, featured performers, producer) and none of them objects to the release;

— the material infringes no third-party rights, including rights of privacy, name and likeness;

— the information you submit (artist name, track title, contributors, release date) is accurate.

If any of these confirmations turns out to be untrue, all legal and financial responsibility rests entirely with you.

3. Material we do not accept

Unlicensed samples and cover versions, someone else’s recording, unlicensed beats, false or misleading metadata, hate speech, unlawful content, and releases submitted under another artist’s name or a name made to resemble one, are all rejected. If you used AI-generated audio or vocals, you must declare it on the release form.

4. Our rights

We may decline any release, take a published release down from stores, hold payments relating to a disputed release until the claim is resolved, and close an account after repeated infringement.

Stores (Spotify, Apple Music and others) may also reject or remove a release under their own rules — that is outside our control.

5. Indemnity

If a third party brings a claim against us or our partners over material you submitted, you are answerable for the consequences — including fines, court costs, legal fees and any sanctions applied by stores. Where necessary we may set those amounts off against royalties owed to you.

6. Who owns what

Your music stays yours — we do not become its owner. We take only the rights needed to deliver it to stores on your behalf, distribute it and collect royalties. If you close your account you may request removal of your releases from stores.

7. Plans and payments

Plan prices and what they cover are shown on the pricing page. Royalty reports are added to your panel as they arrive from the stores; payouts go to the bank details you provide. We are not liable for delays caused by incorrect bank details.

8. Closing an account

You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or close it if these terms are breached. Your obligations under sections 2 and 5 survive closure.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change is material we will notify you by email or through the Studio panel.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and disputes are heard by its courts. The Azerbaijani text prevails; translations are provided for information only.
