Any breach or alleged breach of your warranties, representations, or covenants in this Agreement.
Any claim that your Content infringes upon the copyright, trademark, or intellectual property rights of a third party.
Any dispute between you and your collaborators, featured artists, producers, or split recipients.

COMPANY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF SUBSCRIPTION FEES PAID BY YOU TO COMPANY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
7. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal action, claim, or dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration conducted in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, administered under the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA). You explicitly waive any right to participate in class-action lawsuits or class-wide arbitration proceedings.
8. Amendments & Severability
Company reserves the right to modify or update this Agreement at any time by publishing updated terms on bosseduprecordsllc.com or providing written notice via Bosseduprecordsllc@gmail.com. Your continued use of the platform and receipt of distribution royalties following any updates constitutes acceptance of the modified Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
9. Cancellation, Non-Renewal & Catalog Takedown Policy
9.1 User-Initiated Subscription Cancellation
You may cancel your annual subscription auto-renewal at any time prior to your next billing cycle through your portal settings or by sending a written cancellation request to Bosseduprecordsllc@gmail.com.
Effect of Cancellation: Canceling an auto-renewal stops future recurring charges. It does not automatically remove your distributed Content from stores.
Active Status: Your distributed music will remain live across DSPs through the remainder of your active paid 12-month cycle unless you explicitly request an immediate catalog takedown.
9.2 Early Takedown Requests
If you request an immediate removal of single tracks, EPs, or your entire catalog before your 12-month subscription period ends:
Company will process and transmit formal takedown notices to DSPs within 3 to 5 business days. Complete removal across all digital platforms typically takes 2 to 14 business days depending on individual DSP processing queues.
No Refunds: Per Section 2.3, requesting an early catalog takedown does not entitle you to a full, partial, or prorated refund of any subscription, mastering, Vevo, or add-on fees paid.
9.3 Non-Renewal & Expiration Takedowns
If an annual subscription lapses and is not renewed at the conclusion of the 365-day term:
Company reserves the right to issue automated catalog-wide takedown notices across all distributed DSPs.
Alternatively, Company may, at its sole discretion, elect to keep your catalog live and retain a 15% administrative maintenance fee from incoming net royalties to cover continuous hosting and accounting overhead until the subscription is renewed or formally closed.
9.4 Company-Initiated Account Termination
Company reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate your account, remove all distributed Content from DSPs, and terminate this Agreement without prior notice under the following circumstances:
Breach of Copyright Warranties: Unauthorized use of samples, uncleared cover songs, bootlegs, or impersonation of other artists.
Fraudulent Activity: Detection of artificial streaming manipulation, click farms, bot activity, or deceptive metadata practices.
Payment Failures & Chargebacks: Issuing unauthorized credit card chargebacks, fraudulent payment methods, or failing to settle unpaid balances.
Platform Abuse: Harassment, threats, or abusive conduct directed at Company staff, contractors, or infrastructure.
9.5 Post-Cancellation Royalty Settlements & Residual Earnings
Delayed DSP Royalty Accounting: Because digital stores report and pay streaming revenue on a 30 to 90-day delay, royalties generated during your active distribution period will continue to accrue in your account balance even after cancellation or takedown execution.
Remaining Balance Cash-Out: You retain access to your payout dashboard following cancellation to withdraw remaining earnings, provided your balance satisfies the $10.00 USD minimum payout threshold and your account has completed required tax and identity verification.
Forfeiture for Cause: If your account is terminated due to confirmed copyright infringement, fraudulent streaming, or illegal activity, all accrued balances and pending payouts are permanently forfeited per Section 4.3.
