Terms of Use — Amuse Subscriptions
AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS TERMS OF USE
Thank you for choosing Amuse (“Amuse”, “we”, “us”, “our”). By signing up to or otherwise using the Amuse platform, app, service, websites, and software applications (together, the “Amuse Service” or “Service”), you are entering into a binding contract with Amuseio AB, a Swedish based company with registration number 559036-7016.
These Subscriptions Terms of Use apply to the Services and tools you’ll receive access to when buying a Subscription to AMUSE PRO or AMUSE BOOST as further specified below (jointly referred to as “AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS”).
Your agreement with us includes these Subscription Terms of Use (“Subscriptions Terms of Use”), our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, that apply to your interaction with each Service (collectively the “Agreements”). Please read these documents carefully. You acknowledge that you have read, understood and accepted these Agreements and agree to be bound by them. If you don’t agree with (or cannot comply with) the Agreements that apply to the services with which you interact, then don’t access or use the Amuse Service.
SUBSCRIPTION
When paying for a subscription (“Subscription”) to AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS, you do so on a yearly basis. As soon as you have paid for your Subscription and the payment has reached Amuse, your choice of AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS will immediately be activated and available on your Amuse Account.
You can subscribe to AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS through our website or in-app on iOS and Android, by logging in to your Amuse Account or creating one.
Your subscription will automatically renew, and your chosen method of payment will be charged accordingly, until you fail to pay the renewal fee or if you or Amuse terminates or cancels your Account. Should you not renew your Subscription, Amuse reserves the right to instantly inactivate your AMUSE Subscription including all the tools that have been made available to you as part of the AMUSE Subscription. If you are currently on a monthly Subscription, it will automatically renew until you cancel your Subscription or terminate your Account. If you have cancelled your monthly Subscription, you will only be offered and able to subscribe to a yearly subscription.
You can at any time downgrade from AMUSE PRO to AMUSE BOOST. If you downgrade from AMUSE PRO to AMUSE BOOST, you will lose access to the PRO tools that are not included in the BOOST Subscription and you will need to select one (1) main artist account, should you have several, as available under AMUSE PRO. The changes will, however, not take place until your current Subscription ends.
To unsubscribe, you must do this on the platform you used to subscribe to AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS. Meaning, if you subscribed through the website, you manage your Subscription and unsubscribe through the website. If you have subscribed through iOS or Android (in-app purchase), you manage your Subscription and unsubscribe through your iOS or Android app store account. When you have unsubscribed, you’ll be given an end date to when the AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS tools will be inactivated. You’ll have access to the tools for as long as you have paid for the Subscription.
PAYMENT
Depending on the platform you use to buy a Subscription to AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS, different terms apply.
When buying in-app on your Android phone, Google Play Store terms and conditions apply to your payment in addition to these Subscriptions Terms of Use.
When buying in-app on your iPhone, Apple Store terms and conditions apply to your payment in addition to these Subscriptions Terms of Use.
If you make your payment through the Amuse website, the terms and conditions of the payment provider Adyen apply, however in addition to these Subscriptions Terms of Use.
When the payment is made you’ll receive a confirmation of your payment. When the payment has been approved by the payment provider, the AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS service you have chosen will be made available to you.
If your card has expired or if any of the information needed to make a renewal payment is wrong, you’ll have a grace period (“Grace Period”), subject to Amuse’s sole discretion, where we will retry payment every day for fourteen (14) days, before we terminate your access to AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS. During the Grace Period, you’ll still have access to the AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS tools, but you will however, pay retroactively for the Grace Period once a payment is successful.
After the Grace Period and unless your Subscription has renewed, your Account will return to a free account, meaning you can no longer access the AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS tools. Your Recordings will be taken down from the stores included in your Subscription, you will only have access to one (1) artist profile and you will be charged a 15% commission on all royalty splits you are included in. You can at any time pay for your canceled Subscription and get access to all tools again. There will not be a Grace Period should you or Amuse terminate or cancel your Account or Subscription.
Should Amuse, Adyen or any of the payment methods used detect fraud in regards to your payment, Amuse reserves the right to immediately close down your account.
PRICING
You’ll find the pricing for AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS in the app or on the Website.
We reserve the right to change the pricing at any time. If we do, we will notify you in advance, giving you time to cancel your Subscription. We will not, however, increase the price during your Subscription period.
AMUSE PRO
ROYALTY SPLITS & MULTI-ARTIST ACCOUNTS
With AMUSE PRO, you can create multiple artist profiles. You can also invite other users, both from the Amuse platform as well as persons outside of the Amuse platform. The invite will be sent to the email address and/or phone number you have provided of the person you want to invite. The person must accept the invite and create an Amuse Account in order to get access to the artist profile. An existing user must pay for an AMUSE PRO Subscription in order to access more than one artist profile.
With AMUSE PRO, you can split royalties for a Recording with other Amuse users. You can also receive royalty splits from other users’ Recordings. Users who are not paying for a Subscription to AMUSE PRO or BOOST will pay a commission of 15% on their share of the royalties earned from the Recording(s) they are invited to (the “Commission”). The Commission will be on royalties earned from the period not paid for. Should you start paying for AMUSE PRO or BOOST, you will not pay the Commission on royalties earned during your Subscription period.
AMUSE PRO allows you to add and edit royalty splits for new and previously released Recordings. Once new royalty splits are submitted, all invited users must accept and confirm the invites before any royalty splits can take effect. Royalty splits submitted will take effect on royalties reported from the same month the splits were confirmed. Should you have submitted royalty splits for a new Recording, all royalty splits must be confirmed on the day the Recording is released. Should there be any unconfirmed splits, the unconfirmed split will be reverted and assigned to the user who is the owner of the Recording on the Amuse Account.
FASTLANE RELEASE
When using AMUSE PRO, you get priority access to our content team, where your release will be checked and delivered to all Stores of your choosing within fourteen (14) days, or at a later date of your choosing, provided that your release is submitted after you have paid for your Subscription or have an active PRO trial and that your release has been approved and all assets and metadata connected with the release are correct. We will inform you, should your release not be approved. Any release submitted prior to your Subscription or trial of Amuse PRO, will not receive fast lane access. Each Store determines the delivery time for the distribution of your Recordings. We do not assume liability for the delivery times of the Stores. During, for example, the Holidays, we will do our best to notify you in advance of the extended delivery times of the Stores.
PRIORITY SUPPORT
Amuse can guarantee you a response from our support team within 24 hours from when the original support ticket was created. It’s important that when you do contact support, you do so in the support form provided, together with all applicable and asked for information Amuse needs to help you. You must use the email address connected with your AMUSE PRO account to contact our support team, otherwise priority support will not apply. This Service does not guarantee a solution within 24 hours. We will, however, always do our best to help you find a solution to your problem as soon as reasonably possible.
UNLIMITED UPLOADS
When subscribing to AMUSE PRO, you are entitled to upload as many of the Recordings as you want, without any restrictions in number of releases.
STORES
Included in the AMUSE PRO service is access to several more Stores and platforms, like TikTok, Facebook and Instagram, however in Amuse’s and the Store’s sole discretion, and as amended from time to time. Amuse assumes no liability for any interruptions, delays, errors or any suspensions of access, reports or payouts, in the Stores, neither in whole nor in part. Amuse assumes no liability if your Recordings are not made available in a particular Store due to their terms of use.
YOUTUBE CONTENT ID
With AMUSE PRO, you are eligible for Youtube Content ID. This does not, however, mean that you are entitled to access the service. This is in the sole discretion of Youtube and their terms of use. Amuse is not liable or responsible if Youtube finds your Recordings and/or content being in violation of their terms. With AMUSE PRO you will not be charged a fee for any royalties or income accrued for your Recordings with Youtube Content ID. Should you not renew your AMUSE PRO Subscription, you will automatically be charged a 15% commission on any and all royalties and income accrued from Recordings monetised from Youtube Content ID after your Subscription Term on AMUSE PRO has expired.
AMUSE BOOST

GENERAL
TERM
The term (“Term”) of the Subscriptions Terms of Use and AMUSE PRO or AMUSE BOOST will commence from the date of payment, or, if you have been invited but not paid for a Subscription, from the date of accessing AMUSE PRO or BOOST (“Effective Date”) and continue until terminated or canceled in accordance with the Subscriptions Terms of Use or Terms of Use.
Amuse may, in its sole discretion, at any time during the Term, terminate your Account and/or Subscription if Amuse deems that any of your Recordings or other content violates the Agreements, including but not limited to, uploading copyright infringed content, engaging in any illegal, forced, manipulated or fraudulent activity or if we reasonably believe that the payment was made fraudulently.
TERMINATION
If you cancel your Subscription or if you do not pay the renewal fee and your Subscription expires, your Account will return to a free account, meaning you can no longer access the AMUSE SUBSCRIPTION tools. Your Recordings will be taken down from the AMUSE SUBSCRIPTION stores, you will only be able to have one (1) main artist profile through which you can distribute music while other artist profiles you have access to will become read-only, and you will be charged a 15% commission on all royalty splits you are included in. You will no longer access YouTube Content ID or have access to Fast Lane releases or VIP support. You can re-subscribe at any time and get access to all tools again. There will not be a Grace Period should you or Amuse terminate or cancel your Account or Subscription.
Should Amuse or any of the payment methods used detect fraud or any unlawful behaviour in regards to your payment, Amuse reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, immediately close down your account.
Amuse also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine if you, your use of the Services or your Recordings have breached any section of the Agreements. If we find that a breach has occured, we take such and any action we deem appropriate. We might, but not limited to, temporarily or permanently disable or block your Account and remove any and all Recordings and/or material uploaded through our Services, withhold any royalties attributable as well as freeze your Account, without notifying you. Should your Account be frozen, Amuse will cancel your Subscription immediately and no renewal fee will be withdrawn from you. You will, however, be able to log in to your Amuse Account and access information about streams and royalties accrued, as well as make payouts.
REFUNDS
As soon as you have made your payment, you’ll receive access to the AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS services. You may therefore only receive a refund of your paid Subscription if Amuse is in direct violation/breach of these Subscriptions Terms of use. In no other circumstance are you entitled to a refund. Any refund approved will be paid out to the same method of payment you used when paying for AMUSE SUBSCRIPTIONS. You are not entitled to a refund if we terminate your Account because you have breached the Agreements.
We are in no way liable or responsible for any third party failures. We will, however, do our best to help fix the problem.
