Please read this End User Licence Agreement (“Licence”) carefully before accessing or using Royaltiza (the “Platform”).

2. Licence Grant

Subject to your compliance with this Licence, Royaltiza grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited licence to access and use the Platform for your own lawful personal or business purposes.

You are not granted any intellectual property rights except for the limited right to use the Platform under this Licence.

5. User Data

You retain ownership of any files, royalty statements, datasets or other information you upload to the Platform (“User Data”).

You grant Royaltiza a limited licence to process, structure, analyse, store and display your User Data only as necessary to provide the Platform.

Original uploaded files are not stored on Royaltiza’s servers after processing. The Platform retains only the parsed dataset required to provide the dashboard and related functionality.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to upload and process any data submitted to the Platform.

6. Data Visualisation and Non-Reliance

Royaltiza is a data visualisation and analytical tool only.

It does not provide:

  • Financial advice
  • Accounting advice
  • Legal advice
  • Tax advice
  • Official royalty statements
  • Royalty verification or audit services

You acknowledge that Platform outputs may contain inaccuracies, inconsistencies, omissions or misrepresentations in how data is displayed.

Royaltiza is designed to minimise such inaccuracies wherever reasonably possible, including through ongoing improvements to data processing systems and validation logic. However, no guarantee is given that outputs will be error-free, complete or suitable for reliance.

You must verify all information against original source documents before relying on it for any purpose.

You must not use Royaltiza as the sole basis for financial, legal, tax, accounting, royalty, business or commercial decisions.

7. Third-Party Data and Services

The Platform may process data from third-party sources, including PRS for Music, PPL and other royalty or rights-management providers.

Royaltiza does not control these third parties and is not responsible for:

  • The accuracy of third-party data
  • Royalty calculations
  • Payment amounts
  • Reporting formats
  • Changes to third-party statements or systems

The official source of truth remains the original statement or record issued by the relevant third party.

8. Third-Party Software

The Platform may use third-party software, libraries, hosting providers, payment processors, analytics tools or other services.

Your use of the Platform may therefore be subject to applicable third-party terms.

Royaltiza is not responsible for failures, interruptions, inaccuracies or security issues caused by third-party services outside its reasonable control.

9. Privacy

Your use of Royaltiza is subject to our Privacy Policy.

By using the Platform, you acknowledge that your personal data and User Data will be processed in accordance with that Privacy Policy.
