You, as an Artist, may post content, with detailed notes. We shall inspect the quality of the content, and if it is acceptable, provide you with an interface to select the Curators to submit the content to. 

Your payment is for the honest, professional, review from a curator, and not for inclusion in playlists, channels, blogs, TikTok videos, radio stations or record labels promotion. 

You may select the dates your campaign shall run on, campaigns

We will provide you with pricing options, and following your payment, submit the content to the Curators. The pricing is according to our then applicable pricing policy.

You understand that we cannot ensure that the Curators would include your content in any playlist, channel, blog, video, radio broadcast or label promotion.However, we offer refunds in cases where the Curators do not provide you with a review in due time.

Reviewing

If you are a Curator, you shall receive from us content for your review. The payment you receive is in order for you to provide your honest, professional, review and is by no means a payment for inclusion in playlists or sharing the content on your social feeds. You are not obligated or required to do so in any manner.

Your review should be in the format and length standards that are posted and updated from time to time on our website.

Since you are getting paid for reviewing songs, If you receive multiple submissionsfor reviews for the same content but to multiply different channels, then the payment shall be calculated according to the highest performing asset, and not a combination of the two.

If your review was demeaning or unprofessional, according to our sole discretion, we may remove it and either refund the Artist or request that you provide us with a replacement.

If we discover that you provided us with falsified data, including duplicate content channels, fake followers, claimed assets you do not own,  or low quality followers, we may suspend your account and retain your payments.
