LEGAL
LAST UPDATED: 5 NOVEMBER 2026
These terms apply to every distribution plan (single, EP, album, and custom). They supplement the Terms of Service, including its governing law (Taiwan, R.O.C.).
You keep ownership of your recordings and compositions. Distribution does not transfer ownership to the Studio.
By ordering a distribution plan, you authorize the Studio to deliver your release, with its metadata and artwork, to streaming and social platforms, and to collect and allocate the resulting royalty revenue, for the release and plan you selected. You can ask us to take a release down by emailing hello@dylanyeestudio.com; platforms process removals on their own schedules. Dylan Yee Studio reserves the right to charge a processing fee for manual takedown requests; we will tell you the fee before processing the request.
We deliver to the platforms covered by your plan, which include Spotify, Apple Music & iTunes, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer, KKBox, NetEase Cloud, and Tencent Music, and social integrations such as TikTok, YouTube, and Meta (Instagram, Threads, Facebook). Platforms decide for themselves whether, when, and how to publish a release. We do not guarantee acceptance, placement, or revenue.
You are responsible for the accuracy of the metadata and credits, for owning or licensing everything in the release (including samples and artwork), and for agreeing any splits between collaborators. We are not responsible for disputes between co-owners or collaborators.
Distributable royalty revenue is allocated 99% to the creator and 1% to the Studio on every plan. The Studio's 1% is a royalty custody, revenue-split maintenance, and administration fee. It covers only the agreed administration and reconciliation work and does not include unlimited complimentary changes.
A payout starts only when your cumulative payable balance reaches NT$1,000 or US$50, depending on the settlement currency. Smaller balances roll forward to the next settlement.
A change to title, artist name, credits, artwork, release date, or other release data after a release is live requires a one-time administrative fee starting at $10 USD per request. The final fee and the eligible scope are confirmed before the change is submitted.
We issue official Commercial Invoices / Receipts for all digital distribution services. We also cooperate with institutional departments on internal Labor Service Reward Forms and specialized accounting vouchers.
Composition work is licensed under one of two structures: a Full Rights Buyout (full ownership transfer) or a Non-Exclusive License (the Studio retains secondary distribution and resale rights). Each project includes 3 complimentary structural revisions within a total audio duration of up to 2 minutes. Additional revisions are $5 USD each. Audio beyond 2 minutes is $150 USD per additional minute.
