Auva Digital Music Distriburion Policies

While full public policy documents are typically provided to artists upon registration, their operational framework for 2026 follows these standard distribution practices:

• Distribution Scope: The company acts as a "Digital Head" or distribution partner, delivering content to major streaming platforms and digital service providers (DSPs) like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.
• Ownership: Like most modern distributors, Auva Digital Media typically allows artists to retain 100% ownership of their master recordings and copyrights.
• Usage License: By using their services, artists grant the company a non-exclusive license to reproduce, distribute, and promote their music across digital platforms for the duration of the agreement. 
• Submission & Metadata Requirements
• Audio Quality: Submissions must generally be industry-standard 24-bit WAV files (44.1–48kHz).
• Artwork: Requirements typically include high-resolution images (at least 3000 x 3000 pixels) in RGB format, free of unauthorized logos or text.
• Metadata Accuracy: Artists are responsible for providing correct artist names, songwriters, and ISRC/UPC codes to avoid delays in platform delivery. 
•  
  Royalties and Payments
• Revenue Share: While specific contracts vary, standard digital distribution models often feature a commission split (e.g., 70% to the artist and 30% to the distributor) or a flat fee for 100% royalty retention.
• Payment Cycles: Payments are usually processed 2–3 months after streams occur, following the reporting cycles of major DSPs. 
•  
  Content Policies
• Prohibited Content: In alignment with the UP Digital Media Policy 2024 and general Indian regulations, content that is deemed "anti-national," likely to incite violence, or contains misinformation is strictly prohibited and can lead to immediate takedowns or legal penalties.
• Takedown Requests: Artists usually have the right to request a "takedown" of their content, which the distributor typically processes within 5 to 30 days of notice.
