Distribution Terms
Version 1 · in effect since 1 September 2026
SAMPLE TEXT — NOT BINDING
This is placeholder content seeded for development and staging. It has not been reviewed by counsel, it does not bind Ubuhanzi or its users, and it must not be published to production. Sections marked OPEN QUESTION are facts that must be established before any of this becomes real policy.
1. What we do for you
When you submit a release, Ubuhanzi delivers it to the streaming and download services you select, and collects the revenue those services pay.
2. What you promise us
You promise that you hold or control the rights to everything in the release — the recording, the composition, the artwork and any samples — and that you have cleared every collaborator's share.
3. Splits
Royalty splits agreed in the platform determine how collected revenue is divided. Splits must total 100% before a release is delivered.
4. Term and takedown
OPEN QUESTION — the distribution term, the notice period for takedown, and whether takedown from stores is immediate or at the next delivery cycle.
5. Revenue and commission
Revenue is subject to the commission in the Payout & Commission Terms.
6. Exclusivity
OPEN QUESTION — whether distribution through Ubuhanzi is exclusive, and what happens if a release is also delivered by another distributor.
7. Governing law
OPEN QUESTION — governing law and dispute forum.
