Artist Platform Terms

ARCMusic.pro is operated by FOUR REEL MEDIA CIC, a Community Interest Company registered in England and Wales. Company number 16039893. Registered office: 47–49 Whitfeld Road, Ashford, Kent, England, TN23 7TS.

These terms govern artist use of ARC. Artists must be at least 18 and capable of entering a contract, unless ARC has expressly approved a lawful representative arrangement.

Your content and authority

You retain ownership of your content. You grant ARC the non-exclusive permission needed to host, copy, analyse, transform where requested, display, promote, sell and deliver it through the service. You confirm that you control the necessary master, performer, composition, publishing, sample and artwork rights and that supplied information is accurate.

Sales and fees

Music uses direct Stripe Connect charges when enabled. ARC Free carries a 10% ARC fee and ARC Pro a 3% ARC fee on completed sales; Stripe processing and applicable taxes are separate without ARC markup. Releases have a £1 minimum and orders a £3 minimum. Refunds, disputes and reversals may adjust balances. Stripe verification and payout rules apply.

Tax and records

You remain responsible for your tax affairs. ARC and its providers may collect, verify, retain and report seller and transaction information where legally required. Stripe Tax is ARC’s selected international checkout tax tool, but no tax is claimed as calculated until real configuration applies to the transaction.

Removal and suspension

ARC may restrict sales or content where payment readiness fails, rights are credibly disputed, law requires action, or these terms are materially breached. ARC will preserve necessary transaction, tax, complaint and evidence records after account or content removal.

No fabricated guarantees

ARC analysis and derived guidance do not guarantee commercial success, legal clearance, copyright ownership, sync placement or independent verification.
