When you distribute a track through WallStream, you’re not just uploading music - you’re entering a system designed to create real business opportunities through royalty-sharing deals with curators, influencers, and labels.
Why exclusivity matters
By using WallStream for distribution, you agree to grant us exclusive rights to distribute that track to the platforms you selected (e.g. Spotify). This is clearly stated in both our Terms and Conditions and our Distribution Agreement.
"Exclusive Release upon Deal Closure. By closing a Deal on the Platform with an Investor, the Creator commits to release the Track exclusively through WallStream for the duration of the Deal." - Terms and Conditions, section 1.4.1
“This right and authorization is granted on an exclusive basis… You can’t make the same content available in the same Digital Music Service using a service different than the Service and the Platform.” - Distribution Agreement, Section 2.3
Why it’s required even if there’s no deal
Distribution through WallStream is completely free, even if you haven’t closed a deal on the track. This allows artists to access tools, campaigns, and visibility without upfront costs.
In return, distribution becomes part of how we finance our platform and keep it running. By routing all royalties through us, we can maintain operations and build long-term opportunities for all users.
If there is a deal, non-compliance is a breach
If you’ve made a deal with a partner (e.g. curator or label) and still keep the track live via another distributor:
-
Your partner is not receiving the royalties they earned by promoting your track.
-
This is a breach of contract and can be grounds for deal cancellation and loss of trust.
-
Partners, or WallStream, may pursue legal action under the binding agreement.
What can happen if you don’t comply
-
Withholding or loss of royalties
-
Cancellation of all active releases
-
Permanent ban from the platform
-
Legal action by WallStream or affected partners
This is not just a policy - it’s a binding agreement, and compliance is essential for the integrity of the marketplace.
