11. Artists’ Rights and Responsibilities

We work with artists, writers, producers, and performers. To avoid confusion, this section explains how privacy and intellectual property interact in our relationship with artists.

11.1 Ownership of artistic works

Unless otherwise agreed in a written contract:

  • Artists generally retain ownership of their original compositions, lyrics, and performances.
  • By working with us, artists grant MelodyMaker Studio / Galaxyway AI Ltd the necessary licences to produce, distribute, promote, and monetise those works, as described in our production, distribution, or collaboration agreements.

We may use artist names, biographies, photos, and song information:

  • For credits, metadata, and royalty reporting
  • For promotional materials and case studies, where permitted by contract or consent

We will not misrepresent artist ownership or remove credits intentionally.

11.3 Responsibility for rights clearance

Artists are responsible for ensuring that:

  • The content they provide (lyrics, compositions, samples, artwork, etc.) does not infringe third-party rights.
  • Any required permissions or licences (e.g. for samples) are obtained, unless we explicitly handle this for you in writing.

If a dispute or claim arises from content you supplied, you may be required to indemnify us under the terms of your agreement with us.

11.4 Takedowns and disputes

If we receive a credible infringement claim relating to your content, we may:

  • Temporarily suspend distribution or promotion of the content
  • Cooperate with music platforms and rights holders

We aim to handle such matters fairly and transparently, protecting both our interests and those of our artists.
