Terms of use
The plain-language rules for using this site.
General information only
Everything on The Band Research is general information for independent and amateur bands. It is not legal, financial, tax or professional advice, and it doesn't take your particular situation into account. Laws, platform rules and industry practices vary between countries and change over time.
Band agreements and contracts
Our guides discuss band agreements, songwriting splits, cost sharing and similar arrangements. Any band agreement, contract or arrangement involving money or rights should be checked by a qualified professional before you rely on it.
No guarantees
We try to keep the guides accurate and useful, but we can't guarantee they are complete, current or suitable for every band. You use the information at your own risk, and we're not responsible for decisions made based on it.
Third parties
Where the guides mention types of services, such as digital distributors, streaming services or performing rights organisations, this isn't an endorsement of any provider. Always read a provider's own terms.
Using our content
You're welcome to link to any page and to print guides for your own band's use. Please don't republish the guides in full elsewhere without permission.
Independence
The Band Research is an independent resource and is not affiliated with any person or organisation that previously used this domain.
