6.4 Music Copyright & Commercial Use

Commercial Use Authorization

Users who generate music using McRock's AI music generation service retain the right to use, distribute, and monetize their generated music for commercial purposes, strictly subject to the status of their subscription.

The "Active License" Requirement:

  • Validity: The commercial license for any music generated on McRock is only valid while the user maintains an active Creator or Super Plan subscription.
  • Lapsed Subscriptions: If a subscription is canceled or expires, the user's right to use McRock-generated content in new commercial projects is immediately revoked.
  • Legacy Protection: Content published and distributed while a subscription was active remains cleared for that specific existing project only. However, the user cannot re-use that same audio in a new commercial production once the subscription has lapsed.

Copyright Ownership:

  • Users own the copyright to the creative input (prompts, lyrics, conceptual direction).
  • Users receive a limited commercial license to the AI-generated musical output, contingent upon an active subscription.

Revenue & Royalties:

  • Users retain 100% of revenue generated from external distribution.
  • McRock claims 0% royalties from external sales.

Creator Streaming Earnings (In-App Platform):

For music released within the McRock platform ecosystem:

  • Fixed Streaming Rate: $0.10 USD per stream.
  • Platform Fee: 0% (McRock takes no cut).
  • Sustainability & Funding Model: This "Artist-First" rate is 20x higher than industry averages. It is funded directly by the 1-1-1 Protocol Revenue Pool, where subscription fees from the total user base (Premium, Creator, Super plans) are redistributed to active creators.

6.5 AI-Generated Content Legal Compliance & International Law

6.5.3 Refund Policy

McRock strictly follows a NON-REFUNDABLE policy. All subscription payments and crowdfunding contributions are final.

6.6 AI-Generated Content Disclaimer and User Responsibility

While McRock employs advanced AI technology to generate unique musical compositions, there is always a possibility that AI-generated content may inadvertently resemble existing copyrighted works.

7. Privacy & Data Protection

McRock is committed to protecting your privacy and personal data. Our full data collection, storage, and usage practices are detailed in our Privacy Policy.

7.2 Data Retention Policy

McRock retains user data even after account deactivation. By creating an account, you acknowledge and agree to the following retention periods:

  • Account & profile data: Retained for a minimum of 5 years after account deactivation
  • Generated music & content: Retained for a minimum of 5 years after account deactivation
  • Financial & payment records: Retained for a minimum of 7 years (U.S. IRS tax compliance)

8. Intellectual Property Rights, Proprietary Technology, and Usage Restrictions

8.1 Proprietary Engine & Ownership

13. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States. Any dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration.
