We reserve the right to decline any application at our sole discretion, including without reason given.
The legal relationship between you and Khaled Media regarding your music is governed by the Artist Agreement you sign, not by these public Terms. The Artist Agreements include:
Each Artist Agreement contains the complete legal terms governing royalty splits, term and termination, ownership, warranties, indemnification, dispute resolution, and other essential provisions.

Per-artist special terms may apply under Schedule B of your Artist Agreement.
You retain 100% ownership of all rights in your music. Khaled Media is granted a non-exclusive license to distribute, and (for Tier 2) administrative rights to collect publishing royalties on your behalf. No copyrights or co-ownership interests transfer to us under Tier 1 or Tier 2.
Under the Artist Agreement v4, you grant Khaled Media an exclusive worldwide license and a fifty percent (50%) co-ownership interest in your works during the term, in exchange for full-service rights management, copyright registration, marketing investment, and dedicated team support. All rights revert to you at the end of the term, subject to post-termination provisions of the Agreement v4.
You agree not to:
Streaming fraud is a serious offense and grounds for immediate termination, removal of all your music from distribution, forfeiture of fraud-attributable royalties, and potential legal action. Our SongCheck NOVA system continuously monitors all distributed music for fraudulent activity. If we, in good faith, determine that streams or revenue are attributable to fraud, we may:
If you believe content distributed through Khaled Media infringes your copyright, send a written notice including the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to:

We will investigate properly submitted notices and take action consistent with the DMCA. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.
Your Artist Agreement sets out specific termination provisions. As a summary:
We may terminate immediately for: streaming fraud, breach of warranty, material breach not cured within 15 days, insolvency, or unlawful conduct.
WE PROVIDE THE SERVICES "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." Except as expressly set forth in your signed Artist Agreement, we make no warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
We do not guarantee any specific level of streams, revenue, audience, or chart position. Music industry outcomes are inherently unpredictable. Authorized platforms (Spotify, Apple, YouTube, etc.) make their own acceptance, removal, and royalty decisions, which are outside our control.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, except for our indemnification obligations and breaches of confidentiality, our total liability to you arising out of or related to the Services is limited to the total fees you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Khaled Media, its officers, employees, agents, and sub-distributors from any claim, loss, damage, liability, settlement, judgment, fine, fee, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your breach of these Terms or any Artist Agreement; (b) your music infringing the rights of a third party; (c) your engagement in streaming fraud or other unlawful activity; (d) inaccurate metadata, false co-writer credits, or unauthorized samples in your music.
We may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated to you via the email on your account or via your dashboard at least thirty (30) days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any modification constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept a modification, you may terminate per the termination provisions of your Artist Agreement.
Modifications to the Artist Agreements themselves are governed by the modification provisions in those Agreements (Section 14 / Schedule B in Distribution Agreement v1; corresponding sections in Artist Agreement v4).
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
