I grant AllDefiant a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free direct mechanical and performance rights license to reproduce, distribute, stream, publicly perform, and display the music, recordings, artwork, and other content I upload to the platform. This license lets AllDefiant operate the platform and pay me per the published revenue splits. I retain full ownership of my content and can revoke this license by removing content or closing my account.

I retain full ownership of my music and uploaded content. AllDefiant's license exists only to operate the platform and pay me per the published splits. No transfer of ownership, assignment, or broader grant is made by uploading content to AllDefiant. All rights not expressly granted in the mechanical and performance rights license remain with me.

The music I upload is the product of meaningful human creative authorship. I may use AI tools to enhance my creative work (such as AI mastering, AI-assisted mixing, AI-generated textures under human-composed songs, AI session musicians as tools, or AI vocal tuning), but I will not upload music where AI generated the core musical content (melody, composition, lyrics, or vocals) without meaningful human creative input.

If I use AI tools in my production, I am solely responsible for holding the commercial rights from those tools, ensuring the AI output does not infringe on anyone else's copyright, and being the legitimate copyright holder of the resulting work. AllDefiant relies on my affirmation and is not responsible for claims arising from my use of AI tools.

AllDefiant does not host adult content in any form. I will not upload nudity, explicit sexual content, or content principally intended for sexual arousal. This rule has no exceptions: no age-gated sections, no private profiles for adult content, no exemptions for artistic framing. Explicit lyrics about sex or the human body in otherwise non-pornographic music are not the same as adult content; the line is whether the content is intended primarily as sexual material.

I represent that I own or have cleared all rights needed to upload this content, including rights from co-writers, featured artists, labels, sample owners, and any AI tools used in production. I will indemnify AllDefiant for any claims arising from a breach of this representation.

I understand that I am personally responsible for the content I upload. If my content violates any law or infringes on anyone's rights, I am personally liable for the consequences. AllDefiant is a platform operator, not the publisher or author of my work. AllDefiant makes best efforts to enforce its terms but does not take on liability for what I upload.

AllDefiant does not permit content or conduct intended to harass, threaten, stalk, bully, or coordinate harm against any person or group. This includes revenge content, doxxing, targeted harassment campaigns, targeted harassment based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other identity, content encouraging others to harass or harm someone, and using the platform to weaponize fan communities against an individual. This standard applies whether or not the conduct would be illegal in my jurisdiction. AllDefiant reserves the right to remove content and terminate accounts for abusive conduct, including conduct that occurs on the platform or that uses the platform to facilitate harm elsewhere.

I represent that I am the person I claim to be when signing up for AllDefiant. I will not impersonate another artist, person, or entity; create fake personas to defraud, mislead, or manipulate the community; use stolen identity documents or tax information; or otherwise misrepresent who I am for any reason. Artistic personas, pen names, and stage names are permitted as long as they are my own persona and not an impersonation of a real person. Violating this provision may result in immediate account termination and potential referral to law enforcement for identity-related fraud.
