Roster Artist Agreement

DRAFT — review with counsel before use. This template covers an artist joining the Orcha Collective roster to license their music through the platform. It is not legal advice, and it works alongside the fuller Collective Artist Agreement; where the two differ, the executed version controls. E-signing here records your acceptance before you upload.

1. Non-exclusive, and you keep your masters

You license your music to Orcha on a non-exclusive basis. You keep ownership of your masters and your songs, and you keep your own streaming and distribution. Orcha's right is to sublicense your tracks to its buyers for the uses they license — nothing more.

2. Your split

• Sync licenses: you receive 60% of the sync fee; Orcha keeps 40%.
• Direct sales (downloads / stems): you receive 80%; Orcha keeps 20%.

Your streaming and distribution income are yours in full and untouched. Payouts run once your payout account is set up (agreement, tax details, and connected account on file).

3. What you promise about each track

For every track you submit, you confirm the same things the per-track attestation states: you own or control 100% of it (or have disclosed every owner and split); the splits total 100% on both sides; there are no uncleared samples or third-party recordings; any human-authorship claim is true and evidenced; you have disclosed any AI use honestly, matching your distributor's filing; and the track infringes no one's rights. Orcha and its buyers rely on this, and you will indemnify them if anything you attest is false.

4. What Orcha does

Orcha reviews submissions, builds the deliverables (mp3, edits, preview), lists approved tracks, licenses them to buyers under Orcha's own license terms, collects fees, and pays your split. Orcha never claims your authorship or your PRO writer/publisher share of the underlying song.

5. Curation is not guaranteed

Submitting a track does not guarantee it goes live. Orcha curates for a quality and clearance bar and may decline or ask for changes.

6. Term and taking tracks down

Either side may end this in writing. You may ask to remove a track going forward; licenses already issued to buyers stay valid for their term (a buyer who paid keeps what they licensed). Sections 3 and 7 survive.

7. General

This draft is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, and is not final until executed. The binding roster terms are this agreement together with the Collective Artist Agreement as executed.

By e-signing, you acknowledge you have read this draft and agree to it as the basis for listing your music, pending the executed agreement.
