Terms of Service

Last Updated: 22nd September 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using MusicalRPM.com and any associated services or platforms (collectively, the “Services”), you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, please discontinue use immediately.

2. Eligibility

To use Musical RPM:

  • You must be at least 18 years old, or have consent from a parent or legal guardian.
  • You must comply with all applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations.

3. User Accounts

Account Creation: You must provide accurate, up-to-date information during the sign-up process.
Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
Termination: Musical RPM reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts at our sole discretion for violations of these Terms.

In cases of termination for breach, fraud, or violation of these Terms, you will forfeit any unpaid earnings. In cases of termination without cause, you will remain entitled to any undisputed earnings accrued up to the date of termination.

4. Intellectual Property

All content on MusicalRPM.com—including logos, images, designs, copy, and technology—is the intellectual property of the owners of MusicalRPM.com and protected under applicable copyright and trademark laws.

You may not copy, reuse, reproduce, or modify our content without prior written permission.

5. Revenue Models and Payments

Musical RPM offers two earning models:

  • Sponsorship Model: Upfront payments made within 7 days for qualified content, based on projected performance. Qualified content must be pre-approved by Musical RPM before publishing. Payment will only be made for content that, once published, meets the minimum performance projection agreed upon between Musical RPM and the partner prior to publication.
  • Revenue Share Model: Ongoing earnings based on actual royalties received from YouTube. Payouts follow a Net-90 timeline.

Estimated Revenues

Revenue estimates shown in your dashboard are not guaranteed. Final payouts are based solely on royalty reports received from YouTube, which typically arrive within 90 days of content publishing. You will receive your final confirmed payout amount before any funds are issued. Any validated views shown in your account will count towards your Payment Threshold, but any funds will be manually reviewed by our team before totals are finalised.

Payment Threshold

You must have a minimum unpaid balance of $20 USD in your account to request a payout.

Payment Methods

We currently support payments via:

  • PayPal
  • Bank Transfer (ACH or Wire Transfer)

6. Payment Terms and Conditions

  • Payments are issued on a Net-7 (Sponsorship Model) or Net-90 (Revenue Share Model) basis, depending on your selected agreement.
  • All payment timelines are estimates, not guarantees.
  • Musical RPM will not pay interest on late payments.
  • Delays may occur due to reasons beyond our control, including but not limited to:
    • Late payments or reporting by YouTube
    • Banking system delays or errors
    • Technical interruptions

All determinations regarding partner eligibility, revenue calculations, and payouts are made at the sole discretion of Musical RPM and shall be final and binding.

No Payment if No Revenue is Received

If YouTube does not pay us for a video you created using our music, we will not be able to pay you. This includes, but is not limited to, YouTube’s system failing to detect our music in your video (this is why we recommend at least 15% volume and a 35+ second video), YouTube terminating your account.
It is your responsibility to ensure your content complies with YouTube’s terms, monetization policies, and community guidelines. Violations may result in withheld royalties, in which case Musical RPM bears no obligation to compensate you.

Fraud and Abuse
Any attempt to circumvent our systems or YouTube’s systems will result in immediate termination of your account and forfeiture of any monies owed to you. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Artificially inflating views or engagement metrics

  • Generating or purchasing bot traffic, low-quality traffic, or unusual traffic (as these can affect our payments)

  • Misrepresenting ownership of a channel

  • Uploading content that violates YouTube’s policies or these Terms

  • Using multiple songs in a single video

  • Uploading videos where our music is not reasonably audible (we recommend a minimum length of 35+ seconds and a minimum volume of 15%)

Re-uploading older content is permitted only if the video has been transformed (e.g., edited, remixed, or otherwise substantially changed). Non-compliance may result in forfeiture of earnings.

Audit Rights
Musical RPM reserves the right to review, investigate, and audit partner accounts to ensure compliance with these Terms and YouTube’s policies. We may request additional information, including video links or channel analytics, and failure to cooperate may result in payment delays or account termination.

Currency and Fees
Payments are issued in U.S. Dollars (USD) by default. All bank transfer fees, PayPal fees, and other applicable charges will be deducted from your payout. If payment in USD is not suitable in your country, you may contact us. At our sole discretion, we may approve an alternative payment method or currency on a case-by-case basis.

Payment Details
It is your responsibility to ensure that all payment information provided in your account is accurate and up to date. If a payment is issued in accordance with the details you have supplied, it will be considered final and settled. Musical RPM is not responsible for losses arising from incorrect or outdated payment details.

Taxes
Partners are independent contractors and are solely responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes, duties, or charges arising from their earnings. Musical RPM will not withhold taxes on your behalf unless required by law.

Account Connectivity
Your YouTube channel(s) must remain connected to your Musical RPM account to allow accurate tracking of your earnings. Channels may, on occasion, disconnect automatically due to reasons outside of our control. While this typically does not occur more than once per year (unless you are testing beta features), we strongly recommend logging in at least once per month to review your account status and ensure all channels remain connected. If your channel(s) are disconnected, we cannot guarantee accurate revenue tracking, and this may result in payment delays or forfeiture of certain payouts.

7. Privacy and Data

By using Musical RPM, you consent to the practices outlined in our Privacy Policy. This includes how we collect, use, and store your personal information.

8. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Upload or promote illegal or infringing content
  • Manipulate video views or engagement metrics
  • Misuse or reverse-engineer any part of our platform
  • Violate YouTube’s policies, terms of service, or community guidelines
  • Use our music in a way that breaches your licensing agreement

9. Channel Eligibility

To qualify for monetization via either model:

  • Your channel must contain at least 1 YouTube Shorts video
  • Content must be original and comply with YouTube’s policies

Violation of these criteria may result in rejection, removal from the platform, or forfeiture of payouts. Acceptance into the Partner Program is at the sole discretion of Musical RPM. We reserve the right to reject or remove partners at any time, with or without cause. We also reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Partner Program or any of its components at our discretion.

10. Indemnification

  • Inaccuracies in estimated earnings or reporting delays by YouTube

  • Delays caused by banks, payment providers, or technical interruptions outside of our control

  • Indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including lost profits, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages

You acknowledge and agree that you bear sole responsibility for your own content and compliance with applicable laws. Musical RPM provides no guarantee or warranty regarding your eligibility for monetization, the legality of your content, or the outcome of any disputes with third parties.

Force Majeure
Musical RPM shall not be held liable or responsible for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
