("Aurtiz", "we", "us", or "our").
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Platform in any way, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform.
These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service, regardless of whether they have created an account. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document and, where appropriate, providing additional notice through the Platform or by email.
Your continued use of the Platform after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
To use the Aurtiz Platform you must meet the following eligibility requirements:
Aurtiz reserves the right to refuse access to the Platform to any person or entity at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to violation of these Terms.
To access certain features of the Platform, including uploading content, purchasing licenses, and accessing your personalized dashboard, you must create an account. You may register using Google OAuth or Apple Sign In. By using these third-party authentication methods, you authorize us to collect and use information from those services as described in our Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account or any other security breach.
Aurtiz will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account credentials or from unauthorized access to your account resulting from your actions or omissions.
Upon registration, you must select one of the following account roles. Each role provides access to specific features of the Platform:
You may only hold one role per account. You may not represent yourself as a different role than the one you selected at registration without contacting us to request a role change, which Aurtiz may grant at its discretion.
You may only maintain one active account on the Platform. Creating multiple accounts for the same individual is prohibited and may result in the termination of all associated accounts.
The Platform allows you to upload, submit, publish, and share content including music tracks, beats, cover art, profile images, blog posts, comments, and other materials (collectively, "User Content"). You retain full ownership of all intellectual property rights in your User Content.
By uploading or submitting User Content to the Platform, you grant Aurtiz a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify (for technical purposes such as transcoding and formatting), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, and distribute your User Content solely for the purposes of operating, providing, promoting, and improving the Platform and its services.
This license continues even if you stop using the Platform, solely for content that remains on the Platform and to the extent necessary to provide services to other users who have already accessed your content.
By uploading User Content to the Platform, you represent and warrant that:
The Platform includes a beat marketplace where Producers may offer their beats for licensing to Artists and other users. The following licensing tiers are available:
All license agreements are auto-generated at the time of purchase and are legally binding between the Producer and the buyer. Aurtiz acts solely as a marketplace facilitator and is not a party to individual license agreements between Producers and buyers. Aurtiz takes a platform fee of fifteen percent (15%) of each transaction, with eighty-five percent (85%) paid to the Producer.
Producers may bundle multiple beats into Beat Packs for sale at a combined price. All beats within a Beat Pack must share the same license tier. The pack price must always be lower than the combined individual price of the beats included. Beat Pack purchases are governed by the same terms as individual beat licenses under the applicable tier.
The Platform and its original content (excluding User Content), features, functionality, design, code, and technology are and will remain the exclusive property of Aurtiz Inc. and its licensors. The Aurtiz name, logo, wordmark, and all associated brand elements are trademarks of Aurtiz Inc. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use Aurtiz trademarks or brand elements without our prior written consent.
Aurtiz respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and will respond to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement. If you believe that your copyrighted work has been reproduced on the Platform in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please submit a written DMCA notice to our designated agent at:
DMCA Agent: Aurtiz Inc., Legal Department
Email: [email protected]
Your notice must include: a description of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; a description of where the infringing material is located on the Platform; your contact information; a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner; and your physical or electronic signature.
Aurtiz will terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers.
You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities on or in connection with the Platform:
Violation of these prohibitions may result in immediate account suspension or termination, removal of content, and legal action where applicable.
All registered users and visitors may access a free tier of the Platform which includes ad-supported streaming of music and beats, access to 30-second preview clips of beats, the ability to follow artists and producers, and basic playlist creation features.
Users may subscribe to Aurtiz Premium for a monthly fee of USD $7.99 per month (or the equivalent in your local currency where applicable). Premium subscribers receive ad-free streaming, full-length beat streaming without preview restrictions, lossless audio quality, offline listening capability, and early access to new releases.
Premium subscriptions are billed on a monthly recurring basis. You authorize Aurtiz to charge your designated payment method on the same calendar date each month. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date. Cancelled subscriptions remain active until the end of the current billing period with no partial refunds issued.
Artists and Producers whose content is streamed on the Platform are eligible to receive streaming royalties. Royalties are calculated on a pro-rata basis from a monthly royalty pool funded by seventy percent (70%) of Premium subscription revenue and forty-five percent (45%) of advertising revenue. The royalty pool is distributed proportionally based on each creator's share of total Platform streams in the relevant month.
Aurtiz guarantees a minimum per-stream rate of USD $0.005, subject to the size of the royalty pool. Royalties are calculated monthly and credited to creator accounts within fifteen (15) business days following the end of each calendar month. Royalties become available for withdrawal with no hold period.
Producers who sell beat licenses through the Platform receive eighty-five percent (85%) of the sale price, with Aurtiz retaining fifteen percent (15%) as a platform fee. For Full Exclusive sales, Producers receive ninety percent (90%) of the sale price, with Aurtiz retaining ten percent (10%).
Licensing revenue is subject to a seven (7) day hold period before becoming available for withdrawal. This hold period exists to protect against fraudulent transactions and payment chargebacks. Streaming royalties are not subject to a hold period.
The minimum amount available for withdrawal is USD $10.00. Withdrawal requests below this threshold will not be processed.
Payouts are processed via PayPal or bank transfer as selected by the creator. Aurtiz is not responsible for fees charged by PayPal or financial institutions for receiving payments. Aurtiz will make commercially reasonable efforts to process withdrawal requests within seven (7) business days of approval.
You are solely responsible for determining and paying any taxes applicable to your earnings on the Platform, including income taxes, self-employment taxes, value-added taxes, or any other taxes or duties. Aurtiz may withhold taxes from payments to creators as required by applicable law and will provide tax documentation as required. You agree to provide accurate tax information when requested.
In the event of a fraudulent transaction, chargeback, or payment dispute related to a license you have sold, Aurtiz reserves the right to deduct the corresponding amount from your available or pending balance. Where no sufficient balance exists, Aurtiz may pursue recovery through other means available under applicable law.
The Platform includes a community blog where all registered users may submit posts for publication. All blog post submissions are subject to review and approval by Aurtiz administrators before publication. Submission of a blog post does not guarantee publication.
By submitting a blog post, you grant Aurtiz the right to review, edit for formatting purposes, approve, reject, or remove the post at any time without notice. Aurtiz reserves the right to reject any submission that violates these Terms, our Content Guidelines, or that we determine in our sole discretion is not suitable for the Platform.
Blog posts must be original content authored by you. Plagiarism, content generated entirely by artificial intelligence without meaningful original contribution, and content copied from other sources without attribution are prohibited.
You retain copyright in your published blog posts. By publishing on the Platform, you grant Aurtiz a non-exclusive license to display, distribute, and promote your blog content on the Platform and through Aurtiz's marketing channels.
You may terminate your account at any time by navigating to your account settings and selecting the account deletion option. Upon termination, your profile, uploaded content, and account data will be scheduled for deletion in accordance with our data retention policies described in the Privacy Policy.
Termination of your account does not entitle you to a refund of any amounts paid for Premium subscriptions or other services unless required by applicable law. Licenses previously purchased by or sold to third parties through your account remain valid after account termination.
Aurtiz reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Platform at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to:
Where possible, Aurtiz will provide notice of suspension or termination and the reason therefor. In cases involving serious violations, illegal activity, or risk of harm to the Platform or other users, Aurtiz may suspend or terminate accounts immediately without prior notice.
Upon termination of your account by Aurtiz for cause, any pending earnings below the minimum payout threshold may be forfeited. Earnings above the minimum payout threshold that are legitimately earned and not subject to dispute will be paid out within thirty (30) days of account closure.
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. AURTIZ DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT IT WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AURTIZ AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR SERVICE INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF AURTIZ HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
IN NO EVENT SHALL AURTIZ'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO AURTIZ IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (USD $100.00).
The Platform may integrate with or link to third-party services, including payment processors, authentication providers, and social media platforms. Aurtiz is not responsible for the privacy practices, terms, or conduct of third-party services. Your use of third-party services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Aurtiz Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and successors from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or in connection with:
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable international law principles. Where local law requires, specific provisions may be governed by the laws of your country of residence.
Before filing a formal claim, you agree to contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve any dispute informally. Aurtiz will also attempt to resolve disputes informally. If a dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the informal process commencing, either party may pursue formal dispute resolution.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Aurtiz agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court. This agreement to arbitrate does not apply to disputes that qualify for small claims court or to disputes about the validity or enforceability of this arbitration provision itself.
YOU AND AURTIZ AGREE THAT EACH MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms applicable to specific features of the Platform, constitute the entire agreement between you and Aurtiz with respect to the Platform and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and representations.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Aurtiz's failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of that provision or any other provision of these Terms.
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without Aurtiz's prior written consent. Aurtiz may assign these Terms or any rights hereunder without restriction.
