1. Private beta access

Receiver is currently a private beta. Beta access is invite-only.

You must not share, redistribute, resell, upload, copy, modify, reverse engineer, or publicly distribute the beta plugin, download link, private materials, or Receiver audio without written permission.

Receiver may change, suspend, remove, or update the beta at any time.

2. What Receiver does

Receiver is a music discovery plugin and hosted audio service for producers. It allows users to:

• Audition curated audio.
• Tune through hosted stations.
• Capture short pieces of audio.
• Drag captures into a DAW.
• Privately experiment with ideas.
• Register a use or request clearance for public or commercial release.

3. Private experimentation only

During private testing, you may audition, capture, edit, chop, pitch, loop, arrange, process, and privately test Receiver audio inside your own projects.

Private experimentation does not give you the right to release, upload, monetise, sell, sync, broadcast, or publicly share music containing Receiver audio.

4. Public or commercial release

You must not publicly or commercially release music containing Receiver audio unless:

• The relevant use has been registered through Receiver under STANDARD AUTO terms; or
• The required written manual approval has been recorded or provided.

Public or commercial release includes uploading, distributing, monetising, selling, syncing, broadcasting, publicly sharing, or otherwise making a production containing Receiver audio available outside private testing.

5. STANDARD AUTO use

Some tracks may be marked STANDARD AUTO. STANDARD AUTO means the relevant supplier has pre-approved certain registered uses if you register the use through Receiver and accept the applicable tier/split.

The tier is based on how much of the original Receiver source audio is used in the final released production, not necessarily how much you captured. You must be truthful about Source Used.

6. Manual clearance

Some uses always require manual approval before release, including:

• Use over 60 seconds.
• Sync, film, TV, advertising, games, podcasts, branded content, or commissioned media.
• Sample-pack, loop-pack, stem-pack, preset, or sound-pack resale.
• Political, adult, hateful, defamatory, unlawful, or high-risk use.
• Anything marked MANUAL ONLY or CONTACT REQUIRED.
• Any manual, custom, restricted, or non-standard use.

Receiver may provide a clearance request, issue, or discussion workflow between you, the relevant supplier, and Receiver.

A request or discussion is not approval by itself. You must wait until the required written approval has been recorded or provided.

Supplier-side approvals are provided by the relevant supplier as the supplier-side representative for the track. Receiver records and facilitates the approval process but does not independently verify every underlying writer, performer, publisher, label, master owner, publishing owner, contributor, royalty participant, or rights holder unless Receiver separately agrees in writing.

7. User responsibility

You remain responsible for ensuring that your release is properly cleared, credited, registered, distributed, and administered, including applying any agreed source-side master and publishing shares correctly.

Receiver is not a publisher, label, distributor, royalty society, collection society, rights administrator, music lawyer, or clearance guarantee.

8. Prohibited uses

You must not:

• Resell or redistribute Receiver audio as samples, loops, stems, presets, sound packs, or construction kits.
• Claim ownership of the original Receiver audio.
• Bypass Receiver’s registration or clearance process.
• Scrape or mass-download the catalogue.
• Use Receiver to build a competing audio/sample library.
• Use Receiver audio in unlawful, defamatory, hateful, misleading, or high-risk contexts.

9. Availability

Receiver may require internet access. Hosted audio, stations, tracks, metadata, and features may change.

Receiver may remove or restrict audio if rights are unclear, disputed, expired, or changed. Receiver does not guarantee uninterrupted access.

1. What Receiver is

Receiver is a music discovery plugin and hosted audio service that allows users to audition curated audio, capture ideas privately, and register or request clearance for possible public or commercial use.

2. Supplying music

Suppliers may provide tracks, loops, stems, cues, textures, sketches, vocal ideas, instrumental ideas, one-shots, or other audio material for potential inclusion in Receiver.

Receiver may accept, reject, restrict, suspend, or remove supplied material at its discretion.

3. Supplier authority

Before supplying any music to Receiver, the supplier must have all rights, permissions, consents, approvals, waivers, licences, split confirmations, contributor approvals, and authority required from all relevant writers, composers, producers, performers, vocalists, featured artists, publishers, labels, master owners, publishing owners, contributors, royalty participants, distributors, administrators, and other rights holders.

The supplier must be authorised to represent the supplier-side rights in the supplied track. Receiver is entitled to rely on supplier-provided metadata, ownership information, contributor information, split information, approval decisions, clearance confirmations, and authority confirmations unless otherwise agreed in writing.

4. No uncleared material

Suppliers must not provide music containing uncleared third-party material.

This includes uncleared samples, loops, vocals, stems, presets, sample packs, construction kits, library content, AI voice material, sound effects, or third-party recordings.

If a track contains third-party material, the supplier must have written rights allowing the material to be supplied, hosted, used, registered, cleared, sublicensed, edited, captured, and incorporated through Receiver.

5. STANDARD AUTO and MANUAL ONLY

Tracks may be supplied as STANDARD AUTO or MANUAL ONLY / CONTACT REQUIRED.

STANDARD AUTO means the supplier has pre-approved certain registered uses under Receiver’s applicable tier/split model, provided the user registers the use and the use is not restricted.

MANUAL ONLY / CONTACT REQUIRED means the user must obtain written supplier approval before public or commercial release.

Some uses, including sync, advertising, branded content, extended-duration use, sample-pack resale, and other restricted uses, may require manual approval even if a track is otherwise available in Receiver.

6. Manual approval and disputes

Receiver may provide clearance request, issue, dispute, and discussion workflows between users, suppliers, and Receiver administrators.

These workflows are communication, record-keeping, and approval-tracking tools.

Where a supplier approves, rejects, comments on, discusses, or resolves a manual/custom/restricted use through Receiver, the supplier confirms that they have authority to do so on behalf of all relevant supplier-side contributors and rights holders.

Receiver does not independently verify every underlying writer, performer, publisher, label, master owner, publishing owner, contributor, royalty participant, or rights holder unless Receiver separately agrees in writing.

7. Supplier responsibility

Suppliers are responsible for:

• Providing accurate metadata.
• Keeping contact and rights information up to date.
• Confirming ownership and contributor authority.
• Coordinating with writers, publishers, labels, performers, and rights holders.
• Obtaining internal approvals before approving manual/custom/restricted use.
• Notifying Receiver if rights become unclear, disputed, restricted, or withdrawn.

8. Usage notices and records

Receiver may generate usage notices, certificates, clearance requests, manual approval requests, issue records, and audit records containing track, supplier, rights, royalty, project, usage, certificate, and timestamp metadata.

These records may be used for rights administration, support, audit, dispute resolution, legal/compliance records, and platform integrity.

9. No guarantee

Receiver does not guarantee track placement, user captures, releases, income, exposure, royalties, playlisting, commercial success, supplier payments, or future inclusion in the catalogue.

Receiver is a discovery and registration platform, not a guaranteed revenue source.

10. Full supplier agreement

These Supplier Terms are a website summary only. A full Supplier Agreement or written agreement may be required before tracks are accepted into Receiver.

If there is any conflict between this page and a signed Supplier Agreement, the signed Supplier Agreement controls.
