Terms of Service

The community

The Union is a community for independent and underground artists. Fresh Drops are shown in strict reverse-chronological order — never ranked by engagement. Community Picks reflect community boosts from the past 7 days, ordered by boost count only. We do not promise any level of visibility or plays.

Your content

You keep all rights to the music and content you upload. By uploading, you grant The Union a license to host, display, and stream it as part of the service. You confirm you own or control the rights to everything you upload, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights.

What's not allowed

• No hate speech, harassment, or threats.
• No spam, scams, or misleading content.
• No uploading music you do not have the rights to share.
• No attempting to break, scrape abusively, or disrupt the service.

Use the Report button on any track, comment, profile, event, or ad that violates these terms. We review reports and may remove content or suspend accounts.

AI content

AI tools are welcome on The Union — plenty of artists use them. The rule is honesty about it.

• Say so when AI made the vocals or the song. If an AI generated the vocals, the lyrics, or the whole track, label it clearly — put "AI-generated" in the title or caption. AI-assisted mixing, mastering, or production where you directed the music doesn't need a label.
• No voice clones of real artists without their permission. Uploading an AI clone of someone's voice and passing it off as them is treated the same as impersonation and copyright infringement.
• AI covers follow the same rules as human covers. You still need the rights to the underlying song.
• Don't use AI to spam or deceive. Mass-uploading AI-generated tracks to game Fresh Drops or Community Picks, or using AI to fake engagement, gets treated like any other spam.

Use the Report button on anything that breaks these rules. We review reports and may remove the content; repeat violations can lead to account suspension.

Plans & payments

• Free — upload music, post, follow, boost, like, comment, basic analytics.
• Artist Plan — $10.99/month — one all-inclusive bundle: links in captions/comments, event creation, Sponsored ads, detailed analytics, Individual or Label account. Cancel anytime; label features revert to Individual on cancellation.
• Tips: $1, $5, $10, or custom. The platform keeps 10%; the artist receives 90%.
• Tickets: event organizers set tiers; the platform keeps 10% per ticket.

Payments are processed by Stripe. Refunds for tickets are handled by the event organizer.

Label accounts

Labels are available with an active Artist Plan. Roster membership is invite-only — an artist must accept. A "Signed to" badge is a public affiliation shown in the app; it is not a legal contract and The Union is not a party to any agreement between labels and artists.

Account deletion

You may delete your account at any time in Settings. Deletion is permanent and removes your profile, tracks, and associated content.

Disclaimers

The service is provided "as is" without warranties. To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Union is not liable for indirect or consequential damages. We may modify or discontinue features with notice.
