Use of another’s account is not permitted. When creating your 8k Everest Motion Pictures Account, you must provide accurate and complete information.

You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your Amuse Account. You are also responsible for maintaining the security of your account password and the passwords of any third-party services you may have elected to link to your account.

Please review our fully transparent Privacy Policy for information regarding security, confidentiality, and what we do with the data you provide us.

We will always make a reasonable effort in ensuring that our Services are available. Should the Services be interrupted in any way, we will make a reasonable effort to correct the interruptions without delay. We are, however, not liable for any errors, delays, or interruptions that might occur.

YOUR MUSIC, MATERIALS, AND INFORMATION

When you upload your Recordings through our Services, you are asked to submit Metadata as well as cover artwork for use in the Stores. You submit the Recordings, cover artwork, and any other information and material (jointly “Material”) at your own expense and in formats required for use in the Stores.

You are fully responsible for everything you submit to us. If we find it unsuitable, we reserve the right to, in our sole discretion, remove the information and/or prevent you from using our Services and/or any or all Stores.

You submit the Recordings to us in a pre-agreed format and for a pre-agreed release date. The release date will be locked and you may not change it.

We will always do our best to perform the Services. 8k Everest Motion Pictures is, however, not responsible for any third-party failures in distributing the Recordings or Materials or removing the same or any failures by you to adhere to the instructions given for the distribution of your Recordings.

ROYALTIES AND PAYOUTS

You keep 100% of your royalties earned from the Stores unless you have royalty splits without a 8k Everest Motion Picturest Subscription (please see our Subscriptions Plans for more information), with the exception of any third-party aggregator fees as well as applicable taxes due from you by law and any payment and banking fees incurred, as well as any amounts to cover any costs related to the handling of money and payments on your behalf. You are to every extent responsible for paying any other rights holders (producer, featured artist, etc.) that you might have and any applicable taxes according to the tax laws of your country. 

Any royalties and income accrued from Recordings monetized by Youtube Content ID shall be subject to a 20% commission fee charge. The commission will be charged on any royalties and income accrued from February 2023 and onwards, from Youtube Content ID.

Any Recordings subject to a split Commission, will not be charged a fee on royalties accrued from Youtube Content ID.

You agree that your royalties are subject to the conditions and pro rata provisions as agreed in each agreement 8k Everest Motion Pictures has entered into with the Stores. The price is determined by us and the Stores, at our sole discretion.

The Stores report your earned royalties to us. Royalties will be credited to your 8k Everest Motion Pictures Account quarterly. The royalties refer to previous months as reported to us by the Stores after we’ve received payment from the Stores. Each Store has its own timeline delay for reporting your earned royalties, usually between 2-6 months. When royalties have been credited to your account, you are able to request to withdraw the money. Do note that due to the reporting delay, you will not receive any royalties during your first month(s) until 8k Everest has received the first reports from the Stores on your earnings. Any net revenues credited to your account will be held in a bank account owned by 8k Everest, and you agree that you will not receive any interest or other earnings.

The minimum amount of earnings you can payout is $10 USD and cannot be paid out in parts. Your earnings are accumulated and will be carried over until you reach the threshold of $10 USD unless your Account is terminated or canceled. The payout process takes approximately 1-7 business days. We will do our best to comply with this. 

The payout service used is Paypal and M-Pesa. You must hold a Paypal or M-Pesa account to be able to receive your royalties earned. 8k Everest Motion Pictures reserves the right to add and change the payout service. We reserve the right to withhold a payout should we suspect that the information is incorrect, that you are involved in any fraudulent or illegal behavior, that an unauthorized person has accessed your account, or if we suspect that you have uploaded infringing Recordings.

Some countries are restricted by the payout service, as amended by them from time to time, and we are unable to process any payment to you should you reside in one of the countries restricted by the payout service. We accept no liability should the payout service limit payments to a country you reside in. Should you circumvent this, or breach the payment provider’s terms of use, you agree to us withhold any royalties and terminate your account. We reserve the right to amend this section from time to time.

Should a Store report the wrong amount, however great, of royalties that you have earned, 8k Everest Motion Pictures reserves the right to retroactively amend this. 8k Everest Motion Pictures assumes no liability regarding reports from Stores.

STORES

We have entered into agreements with different Stores for the purpose of distributing your Recordings. You may choose the Stores to you want your Recordings to be delivered to. The agreements that 8k Everest Motion Pictures enters with the Stores shall determine the terms on which your Recordings are sold or made available. It might vary from time to time, which Stores 8k Everest has entered into an agreement with. Therefore, 8k Everest cannot guarantee the sale and/or exploitation of the Recordings in any particular Store. 8k Everest assumes no liability if your Recordings are not made available in a particular Store or in any way taken down by the Stores.

8k Everest Motion Pictures assumes no liability for any interruptions, delays, errors, or any suspensions of access, reports, or payouts, in the Stores, neither in whole nor in part. 

When you upload your Recordings, Metadata, and other Materials through the Service, we will send your Recording to the Stores. You will receive a locked release date, which you cannot change. Do note, that each Store determines the delivery time for the distribution of your Recordings. We do not assume liability for the delivery times of the Stores.

ROYALTY SPLITS

You can split royalties for a Recording with other team members. You can also receive royalty splits from other users’ Recordings. Users who are not paying for a Subscription to 8k Everest Motion Pictures will pay a commission of 20% on their share of the royalties earned from the Recording(s) they are invited to or create (the “Commission”). The Commission will be withheld on royalties earned from the period not paid for. Should you start paying for 8k Everest Motion Pictures plans, you will not pay the Commission on royalties earned during your Subscription period, subject to the Terms of Use.

You can add and edit royalty splits for new and previously released Recordings. Once new royalty splits are submitted, all invited users must accept and confirm the invites before any royalty splits can take effect. Royalty splits submitted will take effect on royalties reported from the same month the splits were confirmed. Should you have submitted royalty splits for a new Recording, all royalty splits must be confirmed on the day the Recording is released. Should there be any unconfirmed splits, the unconfirmed split will be reverted and assigned to the user whose account is the owner of the Recording.

  1. DATA RETENTION

We keep Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, while we have a legitimate business need to do so, or as required by law (e.g. for tax, legal, accounting or other purposes), whichever is the longer.

If you have elected to receive marketing communications from us, we retain information about your marketing preferences until you opt out of receiving these communications and in accordance with our policies.

To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Data, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we use your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
