If we have not received a Report or we received an incorrect Report we will not execute the payment run. We only pay revenue that is allocated to the artist's tracks/albums in the Reports from the Consumer Stores and we use the numbers from these Reports to check if the total matches the amount we received.

In case the Agreement you have with us is terminated, we no longer have an obligation to pay the remaining revenue if it is below the payment threshold.

5. To the extent that you owe any amounts to the Company as a result of these Distribution Terms or otherwise, the Company shall be entitled to deduct all or any portion of such amounts from the Gross Income that would otherwise be due to you.

Security: we have taken all reasonable measures to protect your personal information, including both hardware and software systems for digital protection, as well as policies designed to protect your data from human error.

How we protect your data

Our company has contracted with IT specialists in order to protect and secure our systems. This ensures that both your and our data is well protected.

Legal basis for processing personal data

The party responsible for processing personal data (hereinafter: “the controller”): TunePartner B.V., established at Paardeweide 16C, 4824 EH Breda, The Netherlands, Chamber of Commerce number: 84629037

TunePartner B.V.  is subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) (Dutch: Algemene verordening gegevensbescherming (AVG)).

The legal basis on which most of our data processing is justified is the execution of contracts with suppliers, clients, and partners. For specific kinds of processing, we may ask for consent from the person concerned.

For the processing of publicly available social media accounts and usernames, we rely on the basis of having a legitimate interest in using this information to contact potential clients, suppliers, and partners.

Data Retention Policy

We retain data for as long as is reasonable and necessary in order to conduct business. We also comply with record-keeping requirements. For data that is not dictated by legal requirements, we keep information you provide to us for up to one year after our last contact moment, unless otherwise agreed upon or directed. Contact information (such as social media profiles or email addresses) that we find publicly on the internet will be saved for up to three years after the last contact moment.. We do this in order to reduce the number of times your data may be (re)discovered and contact sought.

Applicable law

These conditions are governed by Dutch law. The court in the district where the controller has its place of business has sole jurisdiction if any dispute regarding these conditions may arise, save when a legal exception applies.
