Your music stays in stores forever. At DISTROM we guarantee the permanence of your catalog and apply a strict No Takedowns policy due to inactivity. If you decide to cancel your annual subscription or not renew it, the songs you already uploaded will remain online, accumulating streams and generating royalties in your favor (under the same percentages of your plan). The only restriction of not having an active plan is that you will not be able to upload new music until you reactivate it.
It depends on the status of your release. If your release has not yet been accepted and processed by the digital platforms (DSPs), we can cancel it and, if applicable, request a refund from our Accounting team. However, once a release has been accepted by the DSPs, whether it is already live or still on hold pending final approval, we can no longer issue a refund. At that point removing it requires a takedown, which can negatively affect your catalog's history and our distribution standing with the platforms.
By submitting a release and accepting our Terms and Conditions, you agree to this policy. Chargebacks or payment disputes filed for a release that was already accepted/processed by the DSPs will be contested by DISTROMASTERS with the card issuer or payment processor, using these Terms and your release records as evidence.
Your release is usually visible on major stores and streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music within a period of **2 to 5 business days** after being approved by our team.
However, to guarantee that your content has an appropriate pre-save campaign and to enable submissions to editorial playlists (pitching), we advise you to plan and upload your music **at least 14 days in advance**.
