Effective date: May 14, 2024
Please read carefully. By using this website, contacting Secret Music Publishing, submitting materials, or initiating a sync or business enquiry, you accept these Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms form a binding agreement between Secret Music Publishing ("Secret Music Publishing", "we", "us", "our") and the applicable visitor, enquirer, or counterparty ("you").
1. Scope
These Terms govern website usage, business communications, sync and licensing enquiry workflows, writer and artist submissions, and other related contact routes unless superseded by a separate signed agreement.
2. Website Use
This website is provided for general company information, roster presentation, catalog overview, and business routing. Nothing on the site constitutes legal advice, publishing representation, or a binding commercial offer unless expressly confirmed in writing.
3. Services
Secret Music Publishing may provide services including writer development, publishing administration, catalog representation, sync pitching, licensing coordination, and related business support. Specific scope is determined by written agreements, confirmations, or approved deal documents.
4. Submission and Authority
If you submit music, materials, or business information, you represent that you have sufficient rights and authority to share those materials and to discuss the relevant works, recordings, or catalogs. Secret Music Publishing may reject or pause review where authority is unclear or disputed.
5. Acceptable Use
You may not use the website or contact routes for unlawful, abusive, misleading, fraudulent, defamatory, or unauthorized activity, including false ownership claims or the submission of confidential material without proper authority.
6. No Representation by Default
Contacting Secret Music Publishing, submitting links, or exchanging preliminary information does not by itself create a writer, artist, catalog, management, or licensing relationship. Any formal relationship requires separate written confirmation.
7. Intellectual Property
All website text, branding, layout, and original site content are owned by or licensed to Secret Music Publishing unless otherwise stated. You may not reproduce or commercially exploit site content without prior written permission.
8. Confidentiality and Materials
Do not send confidential, unreleased, or commercially sensitive materials unless specifically requested by Secret Music Publishing in writing. Unsolicited materials may be reviewed, deleted, or ignored without obligation.
9. Third-Party Links and Platforms
The site may reference third-party platforms, DSPs, social services, or external resources. Secret Music Publishing is not responsible for the content, policies, or operational decisions of third-party websites or services.
10. Disclaimers
The website and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, complete accuracy, or error-free operation of the site.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Secret Music Publishing excludes liability for indirect, incidental, consequential, or business-interruption losses arising from use of the website or related communications. Aggregate liability, if any, is limited to the amount paid for the relevant service, if applicable.
12. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify Secret Music Publishing against claims, liabilities, losses, or costs arising from false authority statements, unlawful submissions, misuse of the site, or breach of these Terms.
13. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or restrict access to the website or communication channels where necessary for security, misuse prevention, non-payment, legal risk, or operational maintenance.
14. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles, unless mandatory law requires otherwise.
15. Updates
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect legal, operational, or business changes. Updated terms become effective on publication unless otherwise stated.
