Proluceo Provider Terms

Version 1.0 (Draft) Last updated: May 2026

These Provider Terms (“Terms”) govern the upload, hosting, processing, streaming, promotion, and distribution of music and related content by providers on the Proluceo platform.

By creating a provider account, uploading content, or using the provider services, you agree to these Terms.

1. Parties

The Proluceo platform is initially operated by:

Amiral Invent GmbH

Sinserstrasse 67
6330 Cham
Switzerland
CHE-433.219.487

(“Amiral Invent”, “Proluceo”, “we”, “our”, or “us”)

Proluceo is currently operated as a brand and platform of Amiral Invent GmbH.

2. Future Transfer to Proluceo Music

You acknowledge and agree that:

Proluceo may later be operated through a dedicated Swiss company currently referred to as “Proluceo Music” or a substantially similar entity;
Amiral Invent GmbH may transfer, assign, or novate these Terms, provider accounts, uploaded content, licenses, platform operations, and related rights and obligations to that entity;
such transfer shall not require additional approval from providers, provided that the successor entity substantially continues the operation of the Proluceo platform.

Following such transfer, the new entity shall replace Amiral Invent GmbH as the contracting party for these Terms.

3. Purpose of the Platform

Proluceo is a music streaming and discovery platform focused on dynamic integrity and high-quality audio mastering.

The platform prioritizes music with preserved dynamic range, transient clarity, and reduced excessive loudness processing.

Proluceo is not currently:

a music distributor;
a publishing administrator;
a collective rights organization;
a Content ID service;
a sync licensing platform.

4. Eligibility

You may only upload content if:

you own the rights required to upload and license the content to Proluceo; or
you have valid authorization from the rights holder to do so.

You must be legally capable of entering into binding agreements.

If you upload content on behalf of another person, artist, label, or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to act on their behalf.

5. Ownership

You retain ownership of your music, masters, artwork, metadata, branding, and other uploaded materials.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your intellectual property to Proluceo.

6. License Granted to Proluceo

By uploading content to Proluceo, you grant Proluceo a:

worldwide;

stream;
display;

for the purpose of operating, improving, maintaining, marketing, and providing the Proluceo services.

This license continues until your content is removed from the platform, subject to reasonable technical retention periods for backups, caches, legal compliance, fraud prevention, and operational continuity.

7. Non-Exclusivity

You remain free to:

distribute your music elsewhere;
enter agreements with labels or distributors;
