Terms of Service

The Platform is offered only for business or professional use. You represent that you are acting in the course of a trade, business, craft, or profession and not primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. If you act for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it, and “you” includes that organization.

You must have reached the age of majority and have full legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement under the laws applicable where you reside. You may not use the Platform if doing so is prohibited by law, if you are subject to applicable trade or financial sanctions, or if our payment providers cannot lawfully support you. Non-waivable rights that apply despite your business-use representation remain unaffected.

• Provide current, complete, and accurate identity, business, tax, contact, and payment information.
• Use only accounts, artist identities, and Spotify profiles you own or are authorized to manage.
• Keep credentials confidential and notify support promptly of suspected unauthorized access.
• Do not sell, transfer, share, or create accounts to evade a restriction or enforcement action.

You are responsible for activity under your account until you notify us of compromise. We may require identity, authority, tax, sanctions, or payout verification at any time.

Squeeze My Music provides technology through which artists can submit music to independent curators for timely consideration and, when rejected, substantive written feedback. Curators control their own editorial decisions. Squeeze My Music does not act as either user’s employer, partner, talent agent, fiduciary, or representative, and no user may bind another user or Squeeze My Music.

A submission does not guarantee acceptance, playlist placement, publication, contact, audience growth, streams, followers, royalties, revenue, or any other result. Profile and playlist metrics are informational estimates and may be delayed, incomplete, or supplied by third parties.

Artists select a track, choose curators, review the displayed Drop price, and confirm a campaign. The required Drops are then reserved for each submission. The curator normally has 72 hours from delivery to review it. You may submit only material for which you have all rights and permissions necessary for the review, display, playback, and promotional uses contemplated by the Platform.

When an artist sends to a curator marked “On vacation”, the response window starts only when that curator ends vacation mode. Pending submissions received during vacation have no expiry, scheduled return date, or automatic waiting limit; their Drops remain reserved. The vacation notice and affected curators are shown before the artist confirms sending. Ending vacation assigns a 72-hour deadline to those submissions still pending without one. Existing deadlines are never paused, extended or restarted by vacation changes.

Curators may respond while on vacation. Acceptance immediately starts the inclusion calendar described in Section 6. Observations continue independently of vacation mode. Vacation mode does not override account restrictions. Published average response times exclude the authorized waiting period before the response window starts.

If a curator returns a submission without reviewing it, Squeeze My Music cancels it, or the response deadline expires without a completed review, the reserved Drops are returned to the artist’s Platform balance.

Curators earn the displayed amount for completing a qualifying review, whether they accept or reject the track. Compensation is for the curator’s time, attention, and any feedback provided, not for a favorable opinion or a promised number of streams. A qualifying rejection releases the review earnings when delivered. For an acceptance, earnings stay reserved until the first Spotify inclusion is verified in any one of the selected playlists. Selecting several playlists does not create several payments.

• Listen sufficiently to form an honest, independent view and respond within the deadline.
• When rejecting a track, provide original, specific, constructive feedback of at least 20 words. Feedback is optional when accepting a track, and comments are optional when returning a submission. Curator feedback and return comments have no minimum or maximum character limit.
• State the maximum AI use accepted in submitted music: no AI; partial AI (also accepts no AI); or full AI (accepts all three levels). This policy concerns the artist’s track, not how feedback is written. Changes apply to new submissions; existing submissions remain valid under the track declaration accepted when the campaign was created.
• Do not copy reviews, automate meaningless feedback, discriminate unlawfully, or demand off-platform payment.

Squeeze My Music may reject, reverse, or withhold credit for reviews that are fraudulent, duplicated, abusive, or otherwise fail the applicable review requirements.

Campaign and submission emails follow the preference in your account: each update separately or a daily summary. These include feedback, placements and returned Drops. Check the Platform for current deadlines and results. Payment, security, account suspension and final inclusion notices always arrive separately.

Acceptance is the curator’s voluntary editorial choice to include a track in the selected playlists. There is no guaranteed duration, minimum period, simultaneous-presence requirement or additional payment per playlist. The first verified inclusion in any selected playlist releases the whole submission income once. Later removal never automatically reverses it. A rejection with qualifying feedback releases income immediately under Section 5.

Inclusion reminders are due 3, 7 and 30 days after acceptance. Closure becomes eligible after 33 days and no earlier than 72 hours after confirmed delivery of the final notice. Technical failures or delayed delivery can postpone closure. If no selected playlist ever had a verified inclusion, valid recent observations confirm absence, and no manual review prevents it, the reserved Drops are returned once to the artist. Missing additional playlists after a first inclusion are referred for review without automatically reversing earnings. Suspension and administrative cancellation cannot turn a historical verified inclusion into an automatic refund.

A planned duration only sets an optional removal reminder, counted from that playlist’s first verified inclusion. The curator may remove a track earlier or keep it longer without penalty. Daily observations normally continue after removal to detect reentries while tracking remains active and the curator account is active. Cancellation, suspension, loss of access or confirmed playback unavailability can interrupt or end tracking; perpetual monitoring is not promised. Changes occurring between observations may not be detected. Notices report verified observations, not the exact time a change occurred. Reentries never produce another payment or identity credit.

A private, deleted or unreadable playlist, an unavailable track or incomplete observation is not proof of noncompliance. Technical cases go to review. Curators can request verification and users can contact support@squeezemymusic.com with the submission and playlist references. Removal after inclusion does not restrict an account. Suspension requires an administrator’s decision. Curators remain responsible for their editorial choices and must not generate artificial streams, followers, saves, engagement or ranking. The Platform does not represent that Spotify has approved this model.

If a verified track appears unplayable, the curator may report their playback check and close tracking without requesting permission to remove it. Earnings remain unchanged. Unavailability does not establish worldwide removal, misconduct or a verified playlist exit.

Average retention uses all eligible historical submissions with verified inclusion that are no longer present in any previously verified playlist. Observed days are summed across those playlists and divided by the number of eligible submissions, not playlists. Unknown periods are excluded. At least ten eligible submissions are needed. Ratings use all historical valid ratings; reply and acceptance metrics use submissions created in the last 28 days. Metrics update daily. Placement Keeper rewards consecutive different tracks, in acceptance order, reaching at least 21 observed days each in a playlist, starting with three tracks. Pending tracks pause the streak; removal from every selected playlist before 21 days breaks it. Each track counts once, including Scout. Choosing a reminder duration does not earn it. Early removal carries no financial penalty or account restriction. Scout remains free for artists and awards at most one USD 0.50 reward per curator per day when the first inclusion is verified.

Existing payments, refunds and awards are preserved. Older accepted submissions with any verified inclusion and unsettled reserved Drops are settled once before deadlines are considered. Older acceptances without inclusion keep the later of acceptance plus 33 days or the transition date plus 7 days as their deadline, with the final-notice protections above. Historical anomalies are reviewed manually; no balances are reset or refunds made solely because deployment occurred.

Artists purchase “Purchased Drops” from Squeeze My Music for use on the Platform. Curators receive “Earned Drops” from Squeeze My Music after completing qualifying reviews. Drops are limited contractual Platform credits: they are not legal tender, a bank account, a deposit, a security, or a cryptocurrency; they bear no interest; and no trust, fiduciary, or legal escrow relationship is created. Purchased Drops cannot be transferred or cashed out. Only eligible Earned Drops may be cashed out or reinvested under Section 9. Curator balances and movements are presented in USD at the fixed value of $0.50 per internal Earned Drop. This display does not alter the ledger, make withdrawals available or change historical transactions.

Drop codes add promotional Drops to artist wallets only. Curators cannot redeem Drop codes. Each artist can redeem a code once, subject to its availability, expiry and redemption limit. Drop codes are separate from purchase discount coupons used at checkout.

Prices, package discounts, curator rates, limits, and promotional conditions are those displayed when you confirm the transaction. We may change them prospectively. The standard purchase rate is $1 per Drop. Packages and custom budgets may include bonus Drops. A coupon reduces the price after those bonus Drops are included, and the final amount is shown before payment. The coupon is redeemed on successful payment. Artist-invitation rewards require a completed purchase redeeming the referral coupon and are calculated from its discount. Drops do not expire while an account remains active and in good standing unless a clearly stated promotional condition says otherwise. Coupons, artist-invitation and newsletter rewards are subject to their displayed eligibility and completion rules, have no cash value, and may be withheld or reversed for self-referral, duplication, chargeback, or abuse. Curator-invitation rewards follow the separate curator referral program below.

Purchases are charged in US dollars through the payment methods offered by Stripe at checkout. Prices exclude taxes unless checkout states otherwise. You must provide valid business and billing information and are responsible for taxes, duties, reporting, and registrations arising from your activity, except taxes Squeeze My Music is legally required to calculate, collect, withhold, or remit. Squeeze My Music may request tax documentation and apply withholding where required.

Payment authorization does not itself create Drops. Drops are added only after Squeeze My Music receives reliable confirmation of payment. A failed, abandoned, reversed, or expired checkout does not entitle you to Drops. Stripe may save an eligible payment method for a later purchase you initiate. Squeeze My Music will not charge it automatically unless you separately and expressly authorize an automatic-payment feature.

When withdrawals are enabled, eligible curators may withdraw available earnings through Wise to an account supported for their chosen currency and destination, including international SWIFT transfers where available. The minimum is $50 and the maximum is $5,000 per request, in $0.50 increments. Earnings awaiting placement verification are excluded. You must provide accurate recipient details and complete any identity, business, tax or provider checks required to receive payment. Available accounts and payment methods depend on Wise’s requirements.

You pay all Wise fees, including sending and currency conversion where applicable. These fees are included in, and deducted from, the requested gross withdrawal amount. Before confirmation, we show that amount, the Wise fee, the estimated amount and currency you will receive, and any exchange rate. Banks involved in the transfer may deduct additional charges that are not included in the Wise quote, particularly for international transfers. The amount you receive may therefore be lower. We do not cover these fees or bank charges. See Wise’s pricing (opens in a new tab) for information about fees; your withdrawal quote determines the Wise fee for your request. There is no additional Squeeze My Music fee or restriction for withdrawing more than once in thirty days.

Confirmation deducts the gross amount from your available earnings once. If the fees or exchange rate change or expire, you must review the updated amount before confirming. A processing or sent status does not confirm receipt by your bank. If a payment’s outcome is uncertain, we investigate it before returning earnings or sending another payment. We restore the full gross amount once we confirm that the withdrawal was cancelled without payment, or that Wise has returned the full amount to us. If banks involved in the transfer keep part of a returned payment, we restore only the amount that Wise actually returns to us, rounded down to the nearest USD 0.50, and we do not cover those fees or bank charges. Contact support@squeezemymusic.com with your withdrawal reference if you need help. Provider availability and processing times may vary.

You remain responsible for your taxes. We may delay or deny a withdrawal reasonably connected to fraud, duplicate payment, sanctions or an unresolved account restriction. Non-waivable rights remain unaffected. Pausing new withdrawals does not cancel payments already in progress.

Alternatively, an eligible curator may reinvest available Earned Drops into any active artist account with a verified email, including an account belonging to another person. No prior account link is required. The artist base is the number of Earned Drops debited multiplied by the cash-out value per Drop and divided by the base purchase price per artist Drop, rounded down. The artist also receives a 20% bonus on that base, rounded down separately. Pack discounts and coupons do not apply. At the current rates, 100 Earned Drops become 50 artist Drops plus 10 bonus Drops. You can reinvest from 10 to 10,000 Earned Drops at a time, up to your available balance. The destination and amounts are shown before confirmation.

Earnings reserved pending placement cannot be reinvested. Reinvested artist Drops and their bonus may be spent on eligible submissions, including submissions to the sending curator, under the ordinary submission price without an additional reinvestment fee. They cannot be directly transferred or cashed out by the artist. The bonus is promotional Platform credit, has no cash refund value, and does not trigger a referral reward. Reinvestment does not make the artist account the curator’s property or grant access to it. Confirm the recipient carefully: there is no automatic reversal. Report errors to support@squeezemymusic.com for manual review; non-waivable rights remain unaffected.

A qualifying rejection consumes the associated Drops when the feedback is delivered. For an acceptance, Drops remain reserved until the first inclusion is verified in any selected playlist. There is no minimum retention period. A decision you dislike or the absence of commercial results does not by itself create a refund entitlement. Reserved Drops are returned in the circumstances stated in Sections 4 and 6, without limiting rights that cannot legally be excluded.

Purchases of unused Drops are otherwise final to the maximum extent permitted by law. Contact support promptly about duplicate charges, technical errors, unauthorized payments, or rights that cannot legally be excluded. If Squeeze My Music approves a cash refund, we may remove the corresponding unused Drops that remain available. Promotional value is not refunded. Using a chargeback for a charge you know is valid, or to avoid these refund rules, is abuse. A payment dispute triggers a financial review but does not automatically suspend the account, revoke sessions, or cancel submissions. Squeeze My Music may recover the corresponding Drops that remain available. It does not automatically collect from curators or third parties who have already been paid; Squeeze My Music bears any unrecovered loss. Nothing here prevents you from exercising payment rights that cannot legally be excluded.

Artists and curators may optionally invite new curators using their curator invitation link. Each invited curator has one referring account, recorded when registering through that link. The attribution becomes fixed when the invited account verifies its email; changing a profile link name does not change it. Existing curator accounts are not attributed retrospectively.

For the invited curator’s first ten submissions that release earnings within sixty days of registering through the invitation link, the referring account receives the same number of Drops as that curator. The invited curator retains the full ordinary income: the reward is additional and replaces the Platform’s commission. For example, a submission releasing 1, 2 or 3 Drops pays respectively 1, 2 or 3 Drops to each account. The submission’s original booked price determines the reward, with no additional price cap. Ordinary pricing tiers remain unchanged.

A qualifying rejection counts when its income is released. An acceptance counts when the first inclusion is verified in any selected playlist and the income is released once. Verification in the remaining selected playlists is not required for this reward. Multiple playlists still count as one submission. Returns, expirations and cancellations without income do not count. The ten positions follow the order of confirmed income releases, are awarded only once per submission, and do not reset with pricing tiers or performance windows. Rewards end after ten paid submissions or sixty days from registration, whichever comes first. Income must be released before that deadline, including acceptance income awaiting placement verification. Changing a profile link name or verifying an email does not restart the sixty-day window. Rewards already credited are preserved after expiry.

Artist referrers receive usable artist Drops with no cash-out or cash refund value. Curator referrers receive Earned Drops at the ordinary value of $0.50 per Drop, subject to Section 9; withdrawals remain unavailable until that service is enabled. The referral dashboard and reward history identify the invited curator, progress, amounts and reward dates without disclosing the submitting artist or private campaign details. Participation does not require a marketing subscription or automatically renew an existing consent choice.

While the birthday program is enabled, an active artist with a verified account email may receive one personal 10% discount coupon per account and birthday year. The artist must have saved their birthday day and month and remained subscribed to marketing emails for at least 30 days before the birthday. Changes to the birthday restart that date’s qualification period; withdrawing and granting a subscription again restarts the subscription period. Birthday dates already saved when the program was introduced are exempt from the date qualification period. Curator accounts do not participate.

The gift window starts at 09:00 on the birthday in the account’s time zone and ends at 09:00 seven calendar days later. Processing and delivery can occur later without extending this window. UTC applies if no account time zone is saved. February 29 is celebrated on February 28 in a non-leap year. An issued gift keeps its original expiry if account details change. Birthdays before the program’s start are not awarded retrospectively.

The coupon discounts one Drops purchase after the pack discount or custom-budget bonus has been included. Bonus Drops remain included. It cannot be transferred or combined with another coupon. A pending purchase reserves it and keeps its original price and checkout deadline; cancellation confirmed by the payment provider frees it only for the remainder of its original validity. A completed purchase consumes the coupon, and a refund does not restore it.

A gift is available in the artist’s account independently of email delivery. Withdrawing marketing consent after a gift has been granted does not revoke it; it stops pending promotional emails and future gifts while unsubscribed. Account restrictions continue to apply to purchases. The Platform may disable a coupon for abuse or another documented reason without changing an already reserved purchase’s immutable price.

Curator profiles, approved playlists, service details, selected metrics, accepted tracks, ratings, and artist comments may be visible publicly. If you post a rating, review, biography, image, or other public material, you authorize Squeeze My Music to display it with the relevant profile and attribution. Reviews must reflect genuine experience and must not contain confidential information, unlawful claims, harassment, or manipulation.

You retain ownership of your content. You grant Squeeze My Music a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, cache, format, display, and transmit it only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, promote, and improve the Platform and fulfill your submissions. This license ends when the content is deleted, except for copies retained in completed transactions, legal records, backups, or where another user still has a lawful right to use it.

You represent that your content and our permitted use of it do not infringe intellectual property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or other rights. The Platform, excluding user content and third-party materials, belongs to Squeeze My Music and its licensors. No Squeeze My Music rights are granted except the limited right to use the Platform under these Terms.

To report copyright infringement, email support with your contact details, identification of the protected work and challenged material, its Platform location, a good-faith statement, a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act, and a physical or electronic signature. We may forward the notice and accept a legally valid counter-notice. We may remove challenged material and terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

You may not use the Platform to:

• buy, sell, promise, or manipulate playlist placement, streams, followers, saves, reviews, or other artificial engagement;
• upload unlawful, deceptive, malicious, defamatory, infringing, or unauthorized material;
• harass users, misuse personal data, send spam, or move a submission off-platform to avoid fees or controls;
• scrape, reverse engineer, overload, probe, bypass, or interfere with the Platform or its security;
• launder money, facilitate prohibited transactions, evade sanctions, or misstate identity, location, or tax status; or
• exploit errors, duplicate rewards, collude, or use automated accounts or reviews.

Stripe, Spotify, Brevo, Meta, Google reCAPTCHA, IPinfo, and other disclosed providers may process transactions or supply Platform functions under their own terms and policies. Squeeze My Music is not affiliated with or endorsed by Spotify. Spotify content, links, metadata, embeds, availability, and curator playlists remain subject to Spotify’s rules and may change or disappear. You must comply with all third-party terms that apply to your use.

We may investigate content or activity and may remove content, reverse improper ledger entries, limit payouts or submissions, restrict, suspend, or terminate an account when reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, protect users or providers, address fraud or payment risk, or comply with law. Where practicable, we will explain the action and allow you to contact support for review, but urgent or legally restricted cases may require action without advance notice.

To report content or activity that you believe is illegal, email support@squeezemymusic.com with the exact URL or Platform location, an explanation of why you believe the content or activity is illegal, your name and email address unless applicable law permits their omission, and a statement that you believe the information provided is accurate and complete. When contact information is provided, we will acknowledge receipt, review the notice in a timely, diligent, objective manner, and communicate our decision and available review options.

You may stop using the Platform and request account closure by emailing support@squeezemymusic.com. Requests are handled manually. Termination does not erase accrued liabilities, completed transaction records, payment disputes, or provisions that by nature survive. Subject to law and these Terms, we will return eligible unused Purchased Drops or eligible Earned Drops only where our closure process expressly permits it; balances connected to fraud, chargebacks, or legal restrictions may be withheld.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” Squeeze My Music disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant user identity, feedback quality, third-party data, playlist availability, placements, or business results. Nothing excludes a warranty that cannot lawfully be excluded.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Squeeze My Music and its affiliates, officers, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, opportunity, or business interruption. Their aggregate liability arising from the Platform or these Terms will not exceed the greater of USD 100 or the fees you paid or that became payable to you through the Platform during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

These limits do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or liability that cannot be limited by law. They apply regardless of legal theory and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Squeeze My Music and its affiliates, officers, employees, and suppliers from third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your content, your professional activity, your breach of these Terms or third-party rights, your taxes, or your unlawful use of the Platform. Squeeze My Music will give reasonable notice and control of the defense, subject to your not settling any claim that admits fault or imposes obligations on Squeeze My Music without our consent.

Wyoming law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before starting a formal proceeding, each party must send written notice describing the dispute and allow 30 days for good-faith resolution. Unresolved disputes will be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, in English, by one arbitrator, with the seat in Sheridan, Wyoming.

Claims may be brought only on an individual basis, not as a class, collective, or representative action, and each party waives jury trial to the extent permitted by law. Either party may seek temporary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property, confidential information, security, or prevent fraud. Mandatory laws and forums that cannot validly be waived remain applicable.

Material changes will be published as a new version and, where required, presented for acceptance before continued use. Operational features, prices, and third-party services may change prospectively without amending these Terms when the change does not materially reduce an existing contractual right. Electronic records and notices satisfy writing requirements where permitted by law.

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy, and transaction-specific terms shown in the Platform are the entire agreement about the Platform. If a transaction-specific term conflicts with these Terms, it controls only for that transaction. Failure to enforce a term is not a waiver. Invalid terms will be limited to the minimum necessary, and the remainder stays effective. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; Squeeze My Music may assign them in connection with a merger, reorganization, sale, or by operation of law.

Questions, legal notices, and informal dispute notices may be sent to support@squeezemymusic.com or to Squeeze My Music LLC at the address stated above.
