ZeroOne Beats Terms of Service

1. About These Terms

1.1ZeroOne Beats ("we", "us") operates two services covered by these terms: the Song Submission System at zeroonebeats.com/submit, which is free, and the ZOB Premium subscription, which is paid. We also broadcast a free 24/7 radio station that anyone may listen to without an account. Sections 2 to 6 below cover music submissions; sections 7 to 11 cover the Premium subscription; section 12 covers using our music in your own streams and videos, and applies to everyone; sections 13 to 15 apply to all of them.

1.2By using any of these services - including simply listening to the radio, or using our music in your own content - you agree to these terms.

2. Eligibility (Song Submission)

2.1You must authenticate via a supported OAuth provider (Twitch, Google, or Discord) to submit. By signing in you confirm you are authorised to use that account.

3. Submission Requirements

• 3.1Tracks must be original AI-generated music produced using an AI music platform. The platforms we currently accept are listed in the Platform menu on the submission form; that list is authoritative and may change from time to time.
• 3.2You must provide a valid public link to the original track on the platform used to generate it.
• 3.3First submission only: you must add "ZOB" to the title of your track on the platform where you created it - the same public track you link above. This enables us to confirm that the account is genuinely yours before your first submission is approved. This requirement applies solely to your first submission: once that track has been approved, you may remove "ZOB" from the title at any time, and you are not required to add it to any subsequent submission.
• 3.4The WAV file must be an authentic export of that track.
• 3.5You must hold commercial usage rights for the submitted track. Most AI music platforms require an active paid subscription to grant commercial rights - submissions generated under a free-tier account that does not include commercial rights are not permitted.
• 3.6Submissions are limited to 3 per authenticated account per 24-hour period.
• 3.7File size must not exceed 100 MB.

4. Your Rights in the Music

• 4.1You retain whatever rights you hold in the submitted track. By submitting, you grant ZeroOne Beats a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual and sublicensable licence to play, broadcast, and feature the track across all ZeroOne Beats platforms and channels, including but not limited to the Twitch stream, VODs and clips, social media channels, the ZeroOne Beats PC App, and the ZeroOne Beats Web Player, and to grant listeners the permissions set out in section 12. You confirm you have the right to grant this licence.
• 4.2The sublicensing right in 4.1 exists for one purpose: so that listeners and content creators may lawfully use ZeroOne Beats music in their own streams and videos, on the terms set out in section 12. It does not permit us to sell your track, to license it for advertising or other commercial productions on your behalf, or to transfer ownership of it to anyone. You continue to own whatever rights you hold in your music.
• 4.3You may ask us to remove your track from the catalogue at any time through the Contact page. We will stop broadcasting it and remove it from the Premium catalogue. Content that other people published before that removal stays licensed under section 12 - withdrawal stops new uses, but it cannot retroactively un-license videos that already exist.
• 4.4Clause 5.3 requires that a track has not been commercially distributed at the time you submit it. That requirement continues for as long as the track remains in our catalogue. If you later release it through a distributor or aggregator, make it available on a distributor-fed streaming or download service, or enrol it in Content ID or any other rights-management system, you must tell us through the Contact page - before you do so if you can, or as soon as possible afterwards.
• 4.5Where 4.4 applies we will remove the track from the catalogue, from the Premium app, and from rotation on the stream. This is not a penalty, and you are welcome to keep submitting other music. It is simply that the promise we make to listeners in section 12 depends on the catalogue staying free of third-party rights claims, and a distributed track can generate claims against people who used it in good faith. Removal under this clause works the same way as withdrawal under 4.3: content that listeners published beforehand stays licensed. If tracks you submit are repeatedly distributed without telling us, we may decline future submissions from you.

5. Prohibited Submissions

5.1You may not submit content that is or contains any of the following. We reserve the right to reject or remove any submission at our sole discretion, with or without notice.

• 5.2Music that is not AI-generated, or otherwise misrepresented as to its origin or platform.
• 5.3Music that has been commercially released or distributed through a music distributor or aggregator (such as DistroKid, TuneCore, or CD Baby), made available on any distributor-fed streaming or download service (such as Spotify, Apple Music / iTunes, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal, or YouTube Music), or enrolled in any Content ID or digital rights-management system. Sharing your own track directly on your personal social media (for example TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook) does not disqualify it, provided it has not been submitted to a distributor or aggregator. ZeroOne Beats broadcasts only music that is not commercially distributed elsewhere, to keep its catalogue free of third-party rights claims.
• 5.4Tracks generated under a free-tier account or licence that does not grant commercial usage rights.
• 5.5Hate speech, slurs, or content discriminating against or attacking individuals or groups on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics.
• 5.6Violent extremism, incitement to violence, glorification of terrorism, or threats against any person or group.
• 5.7Strongly political or partisan content - endorsements of, or attacks on, specific political parties, candidates, movements, or contested current-affairs positions. We welcome music; we do not broadcast political advocacy.
• 5.8Strongly religious content, including proselytising and content endorsing, promoting, or attacking specific faiths or belief systems.
• 5.9Content that promotes, romanticises, or provides instructions for self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders.
• 5.10Sexually explicit content, pornography, or any content that sexualises, depicts, or references minors in a sexual context. Any such submission will be reported to the appropriate authorities.
• 5.11Targeted harassment of, threats against, or personal attacks on identifiable individuals.
• 5.12Content advocating illegal activity or glorifying illegal drug use.
• 5.13Submissions made on behalf of another person without their consent, or under a false identity.

6. No Guarantee of Broadcast

6.1Submission does not guarantee that your track will be played on stream. We curate the playlist at our discretion.

7. The Premium Service

7.1ZeroOne Beats Premium is a Windows desktop application that gives subscribers control over what plays from the ZeroOne Beats catalogue during their own streams or listening sessions, including segment selection, custom playlist creation, and the ability to skip or remove tracks they do not wish to hear. The free 24/7 ZeroOne Beats radio remains available without a subscription.

8. Subscription, Pricing & Billing

• 8.1Premium is sold as a recurring subscription of €5.99 per month.
• 8.2Payment is processed by our payment provider, Lemon Squeezy (Lemon Squeezy, LLC), which acts as the merchant of record. Their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy govern the payment transaction itself.
• 8.3Your subscription renews automatically each month on the anniversary of your initial subscription date, until cancelled.
• 8.4Prices are quoted in Euros. Applicable taxes (VAT, GST, etc.) are collected and remitted by Lemon Squeezy as required by your jurisdiction and will be shown at checkout.
• 8.5We may change the price of the subscription on at least 30 days' notice; changes apply at the next renewal after the notice period.

9. Cancellation

9.1You may cancel your Premium subscription at any time through the Lemon Squeezy customer portal (a link is included in each receipt e-mail). Cancellation stops all future billing immediately. You retain access to Premium features until the end of your current paid billing period, after which Premium access ends automatically. You will not be charged again following cancellation.

10. Refunds

10.1Premium subscriptions are non-refundable. See our Refund Policy for full details, exceptions for service outages caused by us, and information about statutory rights for consumers in the EEA and UK.

11. Acceptable Use of Premium

11.1While using Premium you agree not to:

• 11.2Share, transfer, sell, or sub-licence your subscription, account, or any access credentials to a third party.
• 11.3Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source music files from the application for redistribution outside ZeroOne Beats platforms.
• 11.4Use the application to harass others, to broadcast content that would breach the rules of any platform you stream on, or otherwise for any unlawful purpose.

11.5We may suspend or terminate Premium access (without refund) if you materially breach these terms.

12. Using ZeroOne Beats Music In Your Content

• 12.1This section applies to everyone who listens to ZeroOne Beats, whether or not you have an account or a Premium subscription. You do not need to register, ask permission, or tell us.
• 12.2Subject to the rest of this section, ZeroOne Beats grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable and perpetual synchronisation and master use licence to include music broadcast by ZeroOne Beats in content that you create and publish on channels you own or control.
• 12.3Live streams. This covers live streaming on any platform - Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok or any other - and the VODs, clips and highlights that come from those streams. No attribution is required for live streams.
• 12.4Videos and podcasts. It also covers recorded video and audio podcasts that you publish. Attribution is required where a track is featured rather than used as background - see 12.6.
• 12.5Making money is fine. You may monetise content containing our music. Advertising, subscriptions, sponsorships, memberships and platform revenue share are all permitted, and we make no claim on that revenue.
• 12.6Attribution. Credit is required whenever a specific track is featured rather than used as continuous background. A stream or video with the station playing behind it needs no credit. A video built around one or two particular tracks does. Where credit is required, name the artist and the track in the description of the video or episode, in this form: "Track Title" - Artist Name, via ZeroOne Beats (zeroonebeats.com). Crediting the artist matters to us: these are real people who gave us their music, and the credit is most of what they get back for it.
• 12.7What you may not do. This licence does not permit you to: (a) register any content containing our music with YouTube Content ID, Audible Magic, or any other content-matching or rights-management system, or use such a system to claim, monetise, or take down anyone else's content; (b) distribute the music as music - uploading it to Spotify, Apple Music or any distributor or aggregator, selling it, including it in a sample pack, or publishing it as a standalone upload whose main content is the track itself; (c) claim to have written, performed, or to own the music, or imply that ZeroOne Beats or any of our artists endorses, sponsors, or is affiliated with you or your content; (d) remix, sample, or create derivative musical works from our tracks - remixes have their own route with the original artist's consent, through the submission system; (e) use the music in content that falls within any of the categories prohibited by 5.5 to 5.12, or in any unlawful content; (f) sub-licence, resell, rent, or transfer this permission to anyone else, it being granted to you for content on channels you own or control; or (g) use the music in a commercial production made for a third party - an advertisement, a client's video, a film, a television programme, or a video game - without asking us first. We will usually say yes; we would just like to know.
• 12.8Content you have already published stays licensed. If a track is later removed from the catalogue - because the artist withdraws it, or because we take it down - content you published in line with these terms before that point remains licensed and you do not need to take anything down. Removal only means the track is no longer available for new use.
• 12.9Provided as-is. We take real care over what enters the catalogue: every track must be AI-generated, submitted by someone who holds commercial rights to it, and must not have been released through a distributor or enrolled in any Content ID system (sections 3 and 5). But we do not control third-party platforms, and no music service anywhere can guarantee that an automated system will never flag a piece of audio in error. If that happens to you, contact us and we will help you dispute it. To the fullest extent permitted by law, ZeroOne Beats is not liable for any loss arising from your use of the music, including revenue lost to a platform claim, strike, or muted VOD. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
• 12.10Copyright status. Because the catalogue is AI-generated, copyright may not exist in some or all of it - the position differs between countries and is still developing. This permission is written so that you may use the music with confidence either way: where we hold rights, we license them to you under 12.2; and to the extent no such rights exist to license, we undertake not to bring any claim against you, and to procure that our artists do not, in respect of any use permitted by this section.
• 12.11If you break these rules. We may withdraw this permission from you. Withdrawal applies from the date we tell you; it does not affect content you published while you were complying.

13. Changes to These Terms

13.1We may update these terms at any time. Material changes affecting paying Premium subscribers will be notified by e-mail (via the address Lemon Squeezy holds for your subscription) at least 14 days in advance. Continued use of either service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

• 14.1These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the law of Denmark, and the Danish courts have jurisdiction.
• 14.2If you are a consumer, nothing in 14.1 takes away rights you have where you live. If you are resident in the European Union or the EEA, you keep the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection rules of your own country, you may bring proceedings in your own country's courts, and we may bring proceedings against you only there.
• 14.3If you are not a consumer - for example, you use ZeroOne Beats music in the course of a business - the courts of Denmark have exclusive jurisdiction.
• 14.4Complaints. Please raise it with us first through the Contact page; nearly everything is settled that way. If we cannot resolve it, consumers resident in Denmark may take the matter to Center for Klageløsning, part of Nævnenes Hus (the Danish Appeals Boards Authority), and then to Forbrugerklagenævnet (the Consumer Complaints Board) if mediation does not settle it. Consumers resident elsewhere in the EU or EEA can get free help from their national European Consumer Centre.
• 14.5Payments. Premium is sold through Lemon Squeezy as merchant of record (see 8.2). Questions about a charge, refund, or invoice can be raised with them directly as well as with us.
• 14.6ZeroOne Beats is operated from Denmark under CVR 38227386.
