By accessing or using the Site, you are agreeing to these Terms and entering into a legally binding contract with Wolves Records (“Wolves Records”). It is important that you read carefully and understand the Terms. Do not access or use the Site if you are unwilling or unable to be bound by the Terms.

- CHANGES TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
We may modify the Terms from time to time. When changes are made, we will notify you by making the revised version available on this webpage, and will indicate at the top of this page the date that revisions were last made. All material modifications will apply prospectively only. You should revisit these Terms on a regular basis as revised versions will be binding on you. Any such modification will be effective upon our posting of new Terms. You understand and agree that your continued access to or use of the Site after any posted modification to the Terms indicates your acceptance of the modification. - USING THE SITE
A. Permission to Use the Site: We grant you permission to use the Site subject to the restrictions in these Terms. We may terminate your permission to use the Site for any conduct that we consider to be inappropriate, or for your breach of these Terms, including the Restrictions listed in paragraph 4. Your use of the Site is at your own risk, including the risk that you might be exposed to content that is offensive, indecent, inaccurate, objectionable, or otherwise inappropriate.
B. Site Availability: The Site may be modified, updated, interrupted, suspended or discontinued at any time, for any or no reason, without notice or liability to Wolves Records.
C. User Accounts: You may need to register to use part of the Site. We may reject or require that you change any user name, password or other information that you provide to us in registering. Your user name and password are for your personal use only and should be kept confidential; you are responsible for any use of your user name and password, and you agree to promptly notify us of any confidentiality breach or unauthorized use of your user name and password, or your Site account. We reserve the right to close your account at any time, at our sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever. Furthermore, we reserve the right to reveal your identity (including whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you or when necessary to protect safety and security.
D. Account Deletion: By deleting your account, Wolves Records can confirm that your personal data, including contact information, music and submissions, will all be removed from our site. However, if creating a new account, you will have to use another email address. - CONTENT
Wolves Records’ Right to Use Your Content: By uploading files, inputting data, or engaging in any other form of communication through this Site, you are granting Wolves Records permission to: (1) view, play, share, transmit, publicly perform, or display any such communication; and (2) allow third parties the same permissions.
The individual uploading a submission/track(s) agrees to the following:
All works are original and fully comply with copyright law.
All works must be registered by PRS, PPL or other agencies, in order to be considered for a synchronisation.
All master recordings are solely owned by the artist or otherwise legally owned by partners/band etc. and therefore has the full right, power and authority to upload the completed works on the Wolves Records platform.
The artist warrants and represents that all material submitted by artist to Wolves Records is artist’s original work and does not infringe the rights of any other person, including, but not limited to copyright, samples, trademark, service mark, or right of privacy or publicity. The artist agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Wolves Records against any loss or damage arising from any claim by any person for infringement or violation of any such rights.
Wolves Records would encourage that we have assurances from the rights holders that the tracks will or have been fully registered with the relevant PROs ahead of submissions or transmission for sync placements.
Disputes over shares or a mixture of published and un-published writers sharing writing credits or if it is not possible to locate the final owner(s) add complications and Wolves Records may charge a fee % for non-cleared music and due diligence. Similarly, sync deals over £4,000 could require up to 10% of the fee for a representation, clearance and legal work.
If your track has been chosen for a film and that particular track for whatever reason falls outside of the clearances or you cannot locate the clearance information you need on any of the PPL, PRS or MCPS (or equivalent) databases we will need to approach both the label and publisher on your behalf to clear the track directly and efficiently.
Failure to clear the necessary rights could result in unforeseen costs to your label / band further down the line or even a lawsuit. Wolves Records is not accountable for disputes and claims made against your submission as explained in our terms and conditions.
