Throughout these Terms, “Royalty Rising”, “RR”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to R-RISING TECHNOLOGIES LTD unless stated otherwise.
1. ABOUT THESE TERMS
These Terms and Conditions govern the use of the Royalty Rising website, Royalty Rising applications, Royalty Rising-branded digital tools and services, accounts and associated online services operated by R-RISING TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
Royalty Rising services may include tools relating to music information, song metadata, music rights, royalty pathways, release information, track analysis, educational resources, AI-assisted guidance, Royalty Rising Song Objects and other music-industry services introduced from time to time.
Some products or services may have additional terms that apply specifically to them.
Where additional product-specific terms apply, they will be made available before you purchase or use the relevant service.
If product-specific terms conflict with these Terms, the product-specific terms will apply to that particular product or service to the extent of the conflict, but nothing in either set of terms will remove statutory rights that cannot legally be excluded.
Our Refund and Cancellation Policy and Acceptable Use Policy also apply where relevant.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.
Where Royalty Rising asks you to expressly accept these Terms, including by selecting an acceptance box or similar control, the Terms become binding when you do so.
For paid products and services, contract formation is also governed by Section 11 below.
These Terms are made available in a form that users can save or print for future reference.
2. WHO MAY USE ROYALTY RISING
You must be legally capable of entering into a contract to purchase services from Royalty Rising.
If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must authorise any purchase and may need to create, supervise or approve your account.
Where a Royalty Rising online service is likely to be accessed by children or younger users, we will take appropriate steps to consider their particular privacy and data-protection needs.
If you use Royalty Rising on behalf of a company, label, management company, organisation, artist, band, rights holder or another person, you confirm that you have authority to act on their behalf.
3. WHAT ROYALTY RISING DOES
Royalty Rising provides technology, information and tools intended to help artists, songwriters, producers, music professionals and rights holders understand, organise, protect and maximise the value of their music assets.
Our services may help users:
Organise song and release information.
Create and maintain music metadata.
Identify possible gaps in royalty or rights information.
Understand possible royalty pathways.
Review the completeness of a music asset.
Analyse information supplied by a user.
Identify organisations, services or processes that may be relevant.
Learn about music rights and music-industry practices.
Receive AI-assisted information and recommendations.
Store and manage information relating to music assets.
Review track, release or metadata readiness.
Access other music-industry tools and services.
Royalty Rising does not become the owner of your music merely because you use our services.
4. YOUR MUSIC REMAINS YOURS
You retain ownership of any rights you already hold in music, recordings, lyrics, compositions, artwork, metadata and other material you submit to Royalty Rising.
Using Royalty Rising does not transfer ownership of your copyright, masters, publishing rights or other intellectual property to us.
You give Royalty Rising a non-exclusive permission to host, store, copy, process, analyse, organise, display and transmit submitted material only to the extent reasonably necessary to provide, secure, maintain and troubleshoot the Royalty Rising services you use.
This permission does not give Royalty Rising ownership of your underlying intellectual property.
These Terms do not give Royalty Rising the right to sell, independently license or commercially exploit private content you upload as though it were our own asset.
Any materially different use of private user content would require a separate legal right to do so and, where required, appropriate notice or permission.
If you delete material or close your account, retained copies will be dealt with in accordance with our Privacy Policy, legal obligations, legitimate record-keeping requirements and ordinary secure backup processes.
5. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR MATERIAL YOU SUBMIT
You must only submit material that you own, control, are authorised to use, or otherwise have the legal right to submit.
By submitting material, you confirm that you have the authority necessary to allow Royalty Rising to process it as described in these Terms.
You must not knowingly provide false ownership information, false authorship information, fraudulent metadata or misleading rights information.
Where a song, recording or other asset has multiple writers, performers, producers, labels, publishers or rights holders, you are responsible for ensuring that information you provide about those parties is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
Royalty Rising understands that music-rights information can sometimes be incomplete, uncertain or disputed. An honest mistake is not the same as deliberately providing false information.
Royalty Rising does not determine legal ownership merely because information has been entered into the system.
A Royalty Rising record, Song Object, report, analysis or database entry is not by itself proof of legal ownership unless a particular service expressly states otherwise.
6. ROYALTY RISING IS NOT A LAW FIRM
Royalty Rising is not a firm of solicitors and does not provide regulated legal services.
Our systems may explain legal concepts, highlight music-rights issues, identify relevant legislation, provide educational information or suggest sources of further assistance.
This information is intended to help users understand an issue and identify possible next steps.
It is not a substitute for advice from a qualified legal professional where legal advice is required.
Where an issue requires professional legal advice, Royalty Rising may point users towards appropriate organisations, resources or professional assistance.
7. FINANCIAL AND TAX INFORMATION
Information about royalties, earnings, revenue, business opportunities, tax, financial structures or possible income is provided for general informational purposes.
Royalty Rising does not provide regulated investment, financial or tax advice.
Royalty Rising does not guarantee a particular level of earnings, royalties, revenue or royalty recovery.
Users should obtain appropriate professional tax, accounting or financial advice where required.
8. AI-ASSISTED SERVICES
Some Royalty Rising services may use artificial intelligence, automated processing, algorithms or third-party technology.
AI-generated or AI-assisted information may contain errors, omissions or outdated information.
Users remain responsible for important decisions affecting ownership, contracts, legal rights, finances, releases, registrations and commercial activity.
Royalty Rising aims to use AI as an aid to human understanding and decision-making rather than as a substitute for human judgement.
AI-generated information should be independently checked where accuracy is important.
Royalty Rising does not guarantee that an AI-generated answer, recommendation, analysis or prediction is complete or correct.
9. ROYALTY DISCOVERY AND RECOVERY
Royalty Rising may help identify possible missing registrations, revenue pathways, rights organisations, opportunities or actions.
We cannot guarantee that:
Every royalty source will be identified.
Every missing registration will be discovered.
Every organisation identified will hold money for you.
Every claim will be successful.
Third-party records will be complete or accurate.
Third parties will respond within a particular time.
An identified revenue opportunity will produce income.
Any identified amount will ultimately be payable.
Music rights, royalty systems, legislation and industry processes differ between territories and can change over time.
Royalty Rising provides tools intended to help users identify and understand opportunities. It does not guarantee the actions or decisions of independent rights organisations or other third parties.
10. ACCOUNT SECURITY
You are responsible for taking reasonable steps to keep your login details secure.
You must not knowingly allow another person to impersonate you through your account.
Please contact us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.
We may take reasonable steps to protect accounts, including requesting identity, account or ownership verification where appropriate.
We may temporarily restrict an account where reasonably necessary to investigate a genuine security concern.
11. ORDERING AND CONTRACT FORMATION
Before you place an order for a paid Royalty Rising product or service, the relevant purchase process will provide information about the main characteristics of what you are buying and the total amount payable.
You will be given an opportunity to review relevant purchase information and correct input errors before completing an order where required.
Any button or other electronic control that places you under an obligation to pay will make that payment obligation clear.
Submitting an order does not necessarily mean that we have accepted it.
Unless the relevant purchase process expressly states otherwise, a contract for a paid Royalty Rising product or service is formed when we accept your order and provide confirmation of the contract.
Where payment has been taken but an order cannot lawfully or practically be accepted, the payment will be returned.
The contractual language is English unless another language is expressly offered for the relevant service.
Where consumer law requires contract information or confirmation to be provided in a durable medium, we will provide it in a form that you can retain and reproduce, such as email or another appropriate format.
12. PRICES AND PAYMENT
The price of a paid Royalty Rising service will be shown before purchase.
The total price payable, including any mandatory charges and any taxes that Royalty Rising is legally required to collect as part of that transaction, will be shown or clearly explained before the order is completed.
The checkout or payment process will tell you what you are purchasing and the total amount payable.
Where relevant, we will also tell you whether the payment is:
A one-off payment.
A recurring subscription.
A credit purchase.
A payment for digital content.
A payment for a service.
Payments may be processed by an independent payment provider.
Royalty Rising does not necessarily receive or store your full payment card details.
Use of an independent payment processor does not remove Royalty Rising's own obligations under its contract with you.
13. SUBSCRIPTIONS
Where a service is sold as a subscription, we will tell you before purchase:
The subscription price.
The billing period.
Whether it renews automatically.
How to cancel.
Any minimum commitment that applies.
Any other material recurring-payment information required by applicable law.
Unless a different arrangement is clearly stated, cancellation of a recurring subscription normally prevents the next renewal rather than cancelling access that has already been paid for.
We will not make cancellation unnecessarily difficult.
Nothing in these Terms removes any cancellation, refund or other consumer right given to you by law.
14. DIGITAL CONTENT AND SERVICES SUPPLIED DURING A CANCELLATION PERIOD
Some Royalty Rising purchases may constitute digital content. Others may legally constitute services.
Different cancellation rules can apply to each.
DIGITAL CONTENT
Some Royalty Rising products may provide reports, downloads, analyses, results or other digital content immediately after purchase.
Where a statutory cancellation period applies and the law permits the cancellation right to be lost once digital supply begins, Royalty Rising will only rely on that loss of the cancellation right where the legally required process has been followed.
Where required, this means that before supply begins you must expressly consent to immediate supply and acknowledge that you will lose the relevant statutory cancellation right once supply begins.
Where required by law, confirmation of that consent and acknowledgement will also be provided as part of the contract confirmation in a durable medium.
SERVICES
Where you expressly request that Royalty Rising begin providing a service during a statutory cancellation period, you may be required to pay a proportionate amount for services already provided if you subsequently cancel, where the law permits.
Where a service has been fully performed during a statutory cancellation period, the cancellation right may end only where the legal requirements for doing so have been satisfied.
If Royalty Rising has not followed a legally required consent, acknowledgement or information process, your statutory cancellation rights remain unaffected.
15. CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS
Our Refund and Cancellation Policy explains cancellation and refund arrangements in more detail.
Nothing in these Terms restricts your statutory rights under applicable consumer law.
If digital content or a service is faulty, not as described or does not meet rights given to you by law, you may have statutory rights to remedies such as:
Repair.
Replacement.
Repeat performance.
Price reduction.
Refund.
The appropriate remedy depends on the nature of the product or service and the circumstances.
16. SERVICE AVAILABILITY, UPDATES AND CHANGES
We aim to keep Royalty Rising available and functioning reliably.
However, internet and technology services sometimes require maintenance or experience technical problems.
We do not guarantee completely uninterrupted availability.
Royalty Rising may need to make changes for legitimate reasons including:
Maintaining or improving security.
Repairing faults.
Maintaining compatibility with current technology.
Updating software.
Improving functionality.
Responding to changes in law or regulation.
Responding to changes in music-industry systems.
Replacing technology or integrations that are no longer available.
Responding to material changes made by third-party services on which a feature depends.
We may therefore update, improve, replace or discontinue features where reasonably necessary.
We will not use this section as a general right to provide consumers with something substantially different from what they agreed to purchase without an appropriate legal basis.
Where digital content is modified, it will remain subject to applicable statutory requirements concerning quality, fitness for purpose and description.
Where a proposed change materially disadvantages a consumer in relation to an ongoing paid service, we will provide reasonable advance notice where practicable and provide any cancellation, refund or other rights required by applicable law.
17. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Royalty Rising may provide links to, information about or integrations with collecting societies, distributors, streaming platforms, music services, government organisations, professional advisers, databases or other third parties.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, these organisations are independent from Royalty Rising.
Royalty Rising does not control the content, policies, decisions, availability, contractual terms or actions of independent third parties.
The inclusion of an organisation or service within a Royalty Rising tool does not necessarily mean that Royalty Rising endorses that organisation.
You should review the terms and policies of independent third parties where appropriate.
Nothing in this section removes any responsibility Royalty Rising itself owes you under these Terms or applicable consumer law, including any obligation to provide a remedy or refund.
18. ROYALTY RISING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
R-RISING TECHNOLOGIES LTD owns or licenses copyright, database rights, trade marks and other intellectual property rights relating to Royalty Rising technology and materials to the extent that those rights subsist under applicable law.
This may include rights relating to:
The Royalty Rising name and branding.
Software.
Application interfaces.
Original website content.
Original educational material.
Graphics and designs.
Databases.
Reports and report formats.
Technology.
Original tools.
Original written material.
Other material created by or for Royalty Rising.
You may use Royalty Rising for its intended purpose.
You must not copy, sell, reproduce, extract, scrape, reverse engineer or commercially exploit substantial protected parts of Royalty Rising software, databases or proprietary material without permission, except where applicable law expressly permits you to do so.
19. USE OF YOUR ROYALTY RISING OUTPUTS
You may download, retain and use reports and information produced specifically for your own account or music assets.
You may share your own reports with appropriate people or organisations, including:
Collaborators.
Managers.
Labels.
Publishers.
Professional advisers.
Collecting societies.
Distributors.
Other relevant music-industry organisations.
Your right to use your own Royalty Rising output does not transfer ownership of Royalty Rising's underlying software, database, branding or protected technology to you.
You must not falsely present Royalty Rising proprietary material as a competing product or falsely claim that Royalty Rising endorses you.
20. PROHIBITED USE
You must not use Royalty Rising to:
Commit fraud.
Infringe another person's copyright or other rights.
Knowingly misrepresent ownership of music.
Submit material you have no right to use.
Upload malicious software.
Attempt unauthorised access to systems or accounts.
Interfere with the security or operation of Royalty Rising.
Harvest personal information unlawfully.
Manipulate referral, agent, commission, reward or payment systems dishonestly.
Impersonate another person.
Use stolen payment information.
Harass or threaten another person.
Use the service for unlawful purposes.
Further details are contained in our Acceptable Use Policy.
21. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION
We may restrict or suspend an account where we reasonably believe this is necessary to:
Protect users.
Protect the Royalty Rising platform.
Investigate suspected fraud.
Respond to unlawful activity.
Protect intellectual property.
Investigate a security risk.
Prevent misuse.
Enforce these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy.
Where appropriate, we will explain the reason for the restriction and provide a reasonable opportunity to resolve the issue.
Serious fraud, deliberate security attacks, serious infringement or unlawful activity may result in immediate suspension or termination.
Where a paid consumer service is affected by action we take, we will not use this section to remove any remedy the consumer is legally entitled to receive.
22. LIABILITY TO CONSUMERS
Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts liability where doing so would be unlawful.
This includes liability for:
Death or personal injury caused by negligence.
Fraud.
Fraudulent misrepresentation.
Consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded or restricted.
If you are a consumer, Royalty Rising is responsible for losses that are a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill.
A loss is foreseeable where it was obvious that it could happen or both you and Royalty Rising knew that it might happen when the contract was formed.
Royalty Rising is not responsible for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable.
Royalty Rising provides music-industry information, technology and organisational tools.
We are not responsible for independent decisions made by third parties such as distributors, collecting societies, streaming services, publishers, labels, government bodies or payment providers.
However, this does not remove responsibility for Royalty Rising's own obligations to you.
23. BUSINESS USERS
If you use Royalty Rising wholly or mainly for purposes relating to your trade, business, craft or profession, you are treated as a business user for the purposes of this section.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Subject to applicable law, Royalty Rising will not be responsible to a business user for losses caused solely by the independent decisions or failures of third parties outside Royalty Rising's reasonable control.
To the extent permitted by law and subject to any applicable test of reasonableness, Royalty Rising will not be liable to a business user for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the service.
Any specific financial limitation of liability applying to a particular commercial, label, enterprise or other business service will be set out in the applicable product-specific or business terms rather than being imposed through a single general website cap.
24. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may update these Terms where reasonably necessary because of:
Changes to Royalty Rising services.
Changes to technology.
Security requirements.
Changes in law or regulation.
Changes to third-party systems on which a service depends.
Improvements to the clarity of these Terms.
The current version will be published on the Royalty Rising website with its effective date.
Where a change materially affects an ongoing paid service, we will provide reasonable advance notice where required.
If a change materially disadvantages you in relation to an ongoing paid service, we will, where required by law or appropriate in the circumstances, provide an opportunity to cancel without penalty.
Changes will not retrospectively remove rights that you have already acquired under applicable law.
25. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of any mandatory consumer protections you have under the law of the country in which you live.
Consumers may bring proceedings in any court that has jurisdiction under applicable law.
Where you use Royalty Rising wholly or mainly for business purposes, disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales unless we agree otherwise.
26. COMPLAINTS AND ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If you experience a problem with a Royalty Rising product or service, please contact us so that we can investigate.
Email:
Please provide enough information for us to identify the relevant account, transaction or service.
Data-protection complaints are handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Where Royalty Rising is required by law or contract to participate in an alternative dispute resolution or other qualifying complaint-resolution arrangement, we will provide the information required by applicable law when responding to the relevant complaint.
Nothing in this section prevents a consumer from exercising any right to seek independent advice or bring a claim through a court that has jurisdiction.
27. OTHER ROYALTY RISING POLICIES
Depending on how you use Royalty Rising, you should also read:
Privacy Policy.
Cookie Policy.
Refund and Cancellation Policy.
Acceptable Use Policy.
Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy.
These policies provide additional information about particular aspects of Royalty Rising.
28. IF PART OF THESE TERMS CANNOT BE ENFORCED
If a court or other competent authority decides that part of these Terms cannot legally be enforced, that part will be treated as removed or modified only to the extent necessary.
The remaining Terms will continue to apply where legally possible.
29. DELAY IN ENFORCING THESE TERMS
If Royalty Rising does not immediately enforce a right under these Terms, this does not necessarily mean that we have waived that right.
A delay in taking action does not prevent us from taking appropriate action later where legally permitted.
30. TRANSFER OF THESE TERMS
Royalty Rising may transfer its rights or obligations under these Terms to another organisation as part of a legitimate restructuring, merger, sale or transfer of the Royalty Rising business or relevant service.
Where you are a consumer, we will not use a transfer to reduce your statutory rights.
If a transfer materially affects an ongoing paid consumer service, we will provide appropriate notice where required.
You may transfer your own contractual rights where applicable law gives you the right to do so. Other transfers may require our reasonable consent.
31. THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS
Unless these Terms expressly state otherwise, a person who is not a party to a contract between you and Royalty Rising does not have a right to enforce its terms merely because they may benefit from it.
This does not affect any right or remedy that a third party has independently under applicable law.
