FLAM Radio Submission Agreement

General notice. These documents are provided for information purposes and do not constitute legal advice. For advice tailored to your situation, consult a qualified attorney in South Africa.

This Submission Agreement is between you and FLAM Tunes (Pty) Ltd (registration number 2026/493327/07) t/a FLAM Records. It applies when you submit music to FLAM Radio for review, broadcast, and potential promotion.

It also applies to submission-related features and services, including upload tools, review queues, artist worlds, music and video pages, playlists, embeds, analytics, notifications, campaign features, and future FLAM Tunes tools that support submission, review, broadcast, or promotion.

1. Your declarations (required)

FLAM Tunes is a curated platform. AI-assisted and AI-generated music may be submitted when you provide complete creation disclosure, originality answers, and individual declaration confirmations. False or incomplete disclosures may lead to rejection, removal, or account action.

By submitting, you represent and warrant that:

You own or control the rights needed to submit and authorize streaming/promotion.
Your submission does not infringe copyright, performer rights, privacy, or other rights.
No unauthorized stems, acapellas, samples, or source recordings were used.
No celebrity voice cloning or unauthorized voice replication was used.
You are not engaging in deceptive “sound exactly like” impersonation or fake identity use.
You have commercial-use authority for any AI-generated elements you declared (where applicable).
You provided accurate metadata and disclosures (including explicit content and AI provenance).

1a. Suno and commercial-use declarations

If your track uses Suno, you must declare your plan tier, download date, and commercial-use authority. Free or trial Suno downloads cannot be submitted for commercial streaming or FLAM Radio rotation. A paid-plan declaration is not proof of statutory copyright ownership — moderators may request evidence or place submissions on rights hold.

2. Licence to review and (if approved) to broadcast

You grant FLAM Tunes (Pty) Ltd (registration number 2026/493327/07) t/a FLAM Records a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to (a) receive and review your submission, and if approved, (b) stream it on FLAM Radio and use excerpts for promotion, subject to any platform-specific constraints.

You retain ownership of your submission, subject to any third-party rights you have cleared. FLAM Tunes (Pty) Ltd (registration number 2026/493327/07) t/a FLAM Records does not acquire ownership of the recording, and does not claim authorship or copyright because music is uploaded, released, played, or promoted. The licence includes the right to host, store, make technical copies and previews, display related artwork and metadata, feature approved music in charts and discovery, and use your artist name and approved submission materials as reasonably needed for review, broadcast, moderation, and promotion on FLAM-operated services. Any distribution or revenue-share arrangement outside this submission flow requires the applicable written commercial terms, release approval, or separate written agreement.

This submission authorization does not authorize full-length on-demand streaming on FLAM Listen. That use needs a separate authorization for the specific recording. Submitting music does not guarantee acceptance, radio rotation, promotion, or publication. A paid AI-platform subscription is not, by itself, commercial clearance. A free or trial plan that does not grant commercial rights is not cleared. Traditional and hybrid recordings are accepted when you control the required rights; they are not rejected merely because no AI platform was used. You are responsible for the accuracy of these declarations. FLAM Tunes (Pty) Ltd (registration number 2026/493327/07) t/a FLAM Records may request evidence and may suspend disputed or insufficiently authorized material.

Approved creators and artist-world participants may also be subject to the FLAM Radio Creator Agreement.

3. Moderation-first; no guarantee

All submissions are reviewed. We can reject or remove content at any time.
Broadcast approval and promotion approval are separate decisions.
We do not promise rotation, placement, or marketing outcomes.

4. Takedown and disputes

If we receive a credible complaint or identify risk, we may disable content immediately while we investigate. Repeat or serious issues may result in probation, reduced exposure, or permanent removal.

5. Indemnity and liability

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless FLAM Tunes (Pty) Ltd (registration number 2026/493327/07) t/a FLAM Records from claims arising from your breach (including rights violations or deceptive submissions), except to the extent caused by our wilful misconduct or gross negligence.
