Copyright Policy

Partum Arts Music is a record label, music distribution company, and artist services platform based in Lusaka, Zambia. Artists may use Partum Arts Music to submit releases, order artist services, make payments, access public release pages, view royalties, request withdrawals, and communicate with support.

This policy sets the copyright rules for content submitted to or created through Partum Arts Music. It is intended to protect artists, rights holders, customers, Partum Arts Music, approved distribution partners, digital music platforms, and service providers.

You are responsible for making sure that every item you submit to Partum Arts Music is lawful and properly cleared. This includes your music, featured artist material, producer material, cover artwork, lyrics, metadata, reference files, service briefs, promotional materials, and any other content provided through the website, artist portal, email, WhatsApp, or support channels.

By submitting content, you confirm that you own the content or have obtained all required permissions, licences, approvals, splits, clearances, and releases needed for Partum Arts Music to review, prepare, process, promote, display, submit, distribute, update, or request takedown of the material where applicable.

This policy applies to materials including but not limited to:

• songs, recordings, masters, stems, and audio files;
• lyrics, titles, artist names, contributor names, and metadata;
• cover artwork, logos, photographs, posters, and visual assets;
• beats, instrumentals, loops, samples, remixes, and interpolations;
• music videos, lyric videos, visualizers, and reference materials;
• artist service briefs, uploaded references, and final delivered files;
• public release page content and promotional materials.

You must not submit content that:

• copies, uses, or imitates another person's work without permission;
• contains uncleared samples, beats, loops, melodies, lyrics, or vocals;
• uses another artist's name, brand, voice, likeness, or identity in a misleading way;
• uses stolen, AI-generated, purchased, downloaded, or copied artwork without proper rights;
• contains fake credits, incorrect splits, misleading metadata, or false ownership claims;
• violates digital music platform rules, partner requirements, or applicable law;
• is the subject of an unresolved rights dispute.

If your release includes a sample, beat, loop, remix, interpolation, cover version, collaboration, producer contribution, featured artist, or third-party material, you must make sure the required permissions are in place before submitting the release.

Buying, downloading, leasing, or receiving a beat does not always mean you have all rights needed for commercial distribution. You are responsible for understanding the licence terms and keeping proof of permission. Partum Arts Music may request evidence of rights before review, approval, processing, distribution, promotion, or payout.

Cover artwork, posters, visualizers, lyric videos, photographs, brand assets, and reference images must be original, licensed, or otherwise cleared for the intended use. You must not submit artwork copied from another artist, brand, photographer, designer, movie, platform, website, or social media page unless you have permission.

Where Partum Arts Music creates or delivers artist service materials, such materials may be used for the purchased purpose, subject to the service terms, project scope, payment status, and any applicable third-party asset restrictions.

Rights holders may contact Partum Arts Music if they believe content submitted, displayed, distributed, promoted, or processed through Partum Arts Music infringes their copyright or related rights.

A copyright complaint should include:

• the claimant's full name and contact details;
• a clear description of the copyrighted work being claimed;
• the title, artist name, release link, platform link, or material being reported;
• evidence of ownership, control, licence, or authority to act;
• a clear explanation of the alleged infringement;
• any supporting documents, registration details, contracts, screenshots, or links.

If a complaint is made against content you submitted, Partum Arts Music may contact you for clarification, documents, licences, agreements, split sheets, beat licences, artwork licences, or other evidence of rights.

Failure to respond, failure to provide sufficient proof, or providing misleading information may result in rejection, suspension, takedown, withholding of related payouts, account restriction, or other action considered necessary by Partum Arts Music.

Partum Arts Music may review, reject, pause, suspend, remove, or request takedown of content where rights are unclear, disputed, incomplete, misleading, infringing, non-compliant, or unsuitable for distribution, publication, promotion, or service fulfilment.

Platform approval, takedown timing, content removal, claim handling, and final availability may depend on approved distribution partners, digital music platforms, third-party systems, and service providers. Partum Arts Music does not guarantee that every content issue can be resolved within a specific time.

Where content is subject to a copyright complaint, ownership dispute, fraud concern, metadata conflict, platform claim, or rights investigation, Partum Arts Music may delay, suspend, adjust, or withhold related royalty processing or payout activity until the matter is reviewed.

Royalties are reported and processed when reports are received and reviewed. Reported royalties may differ from withdrawable balances until collection, reconciliation, deductions, payment preparation, and rights checks are complete.

By submitting a release, ordering a service, approving a final file, or using Partum Arts Music, you allow Partum Arts Music to use relevant submitted, distributed, purchased, or delivered materials for marketing, portfolio, showcase, website, social media, presentation, case study, promotional, and business communication purposes where applicable.

This permission may include displaying artist names, release titles, cover artwork, short previews, platform links, public release pages, service examples, promotional designs, screenshots, and related materials. This does not transfer ownership of your music or copyright to Partum Arts Music unless a separate written agreement says so.

Submitting false ownership claims, fake rights documents, misleading metadata, unauthorised artwork, uncleared third-party material, or disputed content may lead to release rejection, takedown, service cancellation, account restriction, withheld payouts, and possible reporting to relevant platforms, partners, payment providers, or authorities where necessary.

Payments for releases or artist services remain subject to the Refund Policy, including the rules on generally non-refundable payments and limited payment correction cases.

Copyright complaints, rights documents, and ownership inquiries should be sent to Partum Arts Music support with enough information for review.
