• If customer's music video does not meet the technical or editorial specifications of iTunes, you must pay the same applicable flat rate charge as listed above before sending in a new version of the master.
• In the event customer is unable to correct the errors or quality issues in order to have their music video delivered to iTunes, there is no refund on previous Music Video Fee payments.
• In the event customer would like their music video removed prior to six months from when it first became available in the digital Internet consumer store(s), a $20.00 (twenty dollars) early termination fee per request per music video applies.
The Deal
Think of it like traditional physical distribution:
- You are the label. (You own the music and all rights.)
- The retail store is now Apple iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, etc.
- Pro Music Records is just the distributor that gets your music to the retailer.
- They pay us. We pay you.
- We do not take any rights to your music. This is not a record deal.
- You are just "lending" us the right to be your digital distributor, for the albums you tell us distribute, for as long as you want.
- You can cancel at any time. We will never tie up your rights or make it hard for you to leave.
The Money
- NO startup cost. This is a free service for www.thegoodzonline.com members.
- We keep only 9% and pay you 91% of all income from your music.
- You always get paid the week after we do.
It's NON-Exclusive, but...
- Just like in the physical world, there can't be more than one distributor bringing the
same album to the same store. Otherwise, when the album sells, how would the store
know which distributor to pay?
- We will never prevent you from doing anything you want with your music.
- For YOUR sake, please note : If you sign two digital distribution deals with two
companies that will both be sending the same album to iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, etc -
this will hurt you, because the retailer will usually remove the album completely until
you decide which distributor has the exclusive right to be selling that album through
them.
How the Money Works
Pro Music Records keeps only 9%
- Whatever income is generated from your music and paid to us, we keep only a 9% cut, paying you 91%.
- NO additional hidden fees or exceptions. NO recurring fees. NO expenses taken out of your 91%.
We add this to your weekly Pro Music Records payments.
- Most music services pay us monthly. Some pay quarterly. When we get their sales report and payment, we divide it up, and add it to your account.
- That means you'll always get paid a week after we do!
- $10 minimum payment amount. (We can't be mailing payments for 75 cents, you know.)
- Pro Music Records has been paying artists every week since we started. We are VERY reliable.
This is a free service for Pro Music Records members.
- There is NO startup fee to get involved. You just have to be a Pro Music Records member, meaning: your CD has to be for sale on thegoodzonline.com.
- If your CD is not in Pro Music Records or www.thegoodzonline.com already, our main $35 Pro Music Records set up will apply. That $35 is for the warehousing and work to have it on www.thegoodzonline.com.
- Your album needs to have a valid barcode. If you don't have one already we can make you one for $20.
