Terms & Conditions

Last updated: August 2026

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the Kalmori Music platform, website, applications and related services (“Service”). Kalmori Music is the trading and brand name under which the Service is operated. The Service is operated by Andrae Douglas Simpson, operating under the trading/brand name Kalmori Music (“Kalmori,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

Payout Threshold

Kalmori’s minimum payout threshold is $100.00 USD for streaming, download, and other distribution earnings.Beat marketplace sales are NOT subject to this threshold — beat-sale proceeds are handled under the Beat Marketplace Terms (Kalmori currently charges a 2% marketplace service fee per beat sale).

1. Acceptance and Applicable Agreements

By creating an account, purchasing or using a plan, uploading content, submitting a release, buying or selling a beat, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and any service-specific agreement that applies to your activity. Music distribution is also governed by the Kalmori Music Distribution Agreement. Beat marketplace activity is also governed by the Kalmori Music Beat Marketplace Terms and the license presented for the applicable transaction. Our processing of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the applicable Service.

2. Service Description

Kalmori Music provides digital music distribution and related music-industry services. Services may include release submission and quality control, delivery to supported digital service providers ("DSPs"), royalty reporting and collection, analytics, release-management tools, beat licensing, mastering, promotional tools and automated or AI-assisted features. Kalmori may provide distribution through third-party or upstream distribution, metadata, technology, payment and delivery providers. Kalmori may add, remove or replace providers as reasonably necessary to operate the Service.

3. Accounts and Security

You must provide accurate, current and complete information and keep it updated. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for activity conducted through your account. Kalmori may request identity, tax, billing, rights-ownership or other verification where reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, payments, DSP requirements or distribution-partner requirements.

4. Ownership Principle

Kalmori does not acquire ownership of your master recordings merely because you use Kalmori to distribute them. Ownership of masters, compositions, publishing, artwork and other intellectual property remains with the applicable rights holder unless that rights holder has entered into a separate written agreement expressly transferring rights. Kalmori Music may appear as a distributing label, imprint, distributor, provider or similar metadata designation. Such a designation is not, by itself, a transfer of master, publishing or other intellectual-property ownership.

5. Subscription Plans and Service Fees

Available plans, billing periods, feature limits and prices are shown on the current Kalmori pricing and checkout pages. Unless a specific checkout states otherwise, distribution revenue shares are currently structured as follows: Free — Kalmori service share 10%; client share 90% of applicable Net Distribution Receipts. Rise — Kalmori service share 5%; client share 95% of applicable Net Distribution Receipts. Pro — Kalmori service share 0%; client share 100% of applicable Net Distribution Receipts, subject to separately disclosed subscription charges and third-party deductions. These percentages are distribution/service revenue shares. They do not give Kalmori any percentage ownership of a master recording, composition or publishing right. "Net Distribution Receipts" means amounts actually received or credited for the applicable content after DSP or upstream-provider adjustments, taxes required to be withheld, refunds, chargebacks, fraud deductions, currency-conversion effects and other third-party deductions that are properly attributable to the release.

6. Payout Threshold

The minimum payout threshold for eligible streaming, download and other distribution earnings is $100 USD, unless a different threshold is clearly disclosed for a particular payment method or territory. Eligible balances below the threshold remain credited to the account until the threshold is reached or until handled under the termination provisions of the applicable agreement. Beat marketplace proceeds are governed separately by the Beat Marketplace Terms and are not subject to the distribution payout threshold where the platform states that direct per-sale payout applies.

7. DSP Availability and Reporting

Kalmori may deliver releases to supported DSPs and stores made available through Kalmori and its distribution providers. The partner list can change. References to a specific number of DSPs are informational only and should not be treated as a guarantee that every DSP is available for every release, territory or content type. DSPs control their own acceptance, availability, metadata display, editorial decisions, reporting and payment timing. Kalmori does not guarantee acceptance, playlisting, editorial placement, revenue, a specific release date after delivery, uninterrupted availability, or the display of every metadata field in a particular format.

8. Artificial Streaming, Fraud and Abuse

Bots, click farms, purchased or manipulated streams, fraudulent downloads, deceptive engagement, unauthorized account activity and other artificial manipulation are prohibited. Kalmori may investigate, reject releases, suspend distribution, temporarily hold affected revenue, request evidence, transmit information to relevant providers where lawful, or terminate accounts where reasonably necessary. Revenue identified by a DSP or upstream provider as fraudulent, invalid or ineligible may be withheld, reversed or offset to the extent permitted by applicable law. Legitimate, undisputed earnings do not automatically become Kalmori’s property merely because an account is suspended or terminated.

9. Prohibited Content and Quality Control

You may not submit content that infringes third-party rights, is unlawful, contains unauthorized samples or artwork, uses misleading artist identities or metadata, contains malware, or violates applicable DSP policies. Kalmori may reject, pause, request correction of, or remove content that fails rights, metadata, technical, fraud or quality-control requirements.

10. Billing, Renewal and Refunds

Paid plans and add-on services are charged at the price and billing period disclosed at checkout. Where automatic renewal applies, it must be disclosed before purchase. Cancellation stops future renewal but does not itself constitute a music takedown request. Refund eligibility depends on the service purchased, the stage of performance and applicable mandatory consumer law. Nothing in these Terms excludes statutory rights that cannot legally be waived.

11. Holds, Reserves and Adjustments

Kalmori may temporarily hold or reserve amounts reasonably connected to chargebacks, DSP corrections, fraud investigations, ownership disputes, copyright claims, payment-provider requirements or other identifiable financial risk. Kalmori may apply later DSP or upstream-provider corrections to the corresponding account. Where practical, active holds or adjustments should be reflected in the user’s royalty or wallet records.

12. Suspension and Termination

Kalmori may suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary because of material breach, fraud, rights infringement, payment abuse, security risk, legal obligation or distribution-partner/DSP requirements. Users may terminate their account subject to outstanding releases, payments, legal retention duties and any service-specific termination procedure.

13. Third-Party Services

The Service may rely on DSPs, upstream distributors, payment processors, hosting providers, analytics providers, email providers and other third parties. Their own terms may apply to their services. Kalmori is not responsible for third-party outages or decisions outside Kalmori’s reasonable control, but this does not limit liability that cannot legally be excluded.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Kalmori is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive losses, or for losses caused solely by DSP outages, third-party policy changes, third-party takedowns or processing delays outside Kalmori’s reasonable control. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

15. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify Kalmori against third-party claims, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from content you submitted where the claim results from your material breach, infringement of third-party rights, or material misrepresentation concerning your authority to use or distribute the content.

16. Changes

Kalmori may update these Terms as the Service, law or distribution relationships change. Where a change materially affects existing users’ rights or obligations, Kalmori will provide reasonable advance notice where required by law.

17. Governing Law and Consumer Rights

These Terms are governed by Swedish law, subject to mandatory consumer protections that apply in a user’s country of residence. Nothing in these Terms deprives a consumer of mandatory rights available under Swedish or European Union law. Any dispute-resolution clause used by Kalmori must not prevent a consumer from using rights or forums that cannot legally be waived.
