Is this legal advice?

No. The Release Clearance Calculator provides a general estimate based on your answers. It is not legal advice, and Songpact is not a law firm.

Does this guarantee my release is cleared?

No. The calculator helps identify agreements you may need, but it cannot confirm that your release is fully cleared. Some projects may involve additional rights, licences or legal issues.

What if my project includes samples or third-party beats?

Samples, interpolations, loops, beat packs and third-party recordings may require separate clearance. The calculator will flag these, but they may fall outside the standard contributor agreements available on Songpact.

Why do I need contracts for collaborators?

Because contributors may have rights in the recording, composition, performance, artwork or other elements of the release. Written agreements help document ownership, payment, credits and permissions before disputes arise.

What types of agreements does Songpact support?

Songpact currently supports key music contracts including producer agreements, mixer agreements, featured artist agreements, performer releases, song split agreements, remixer agreements and more.

Songpact helps simplify standard music contracting workflows, but you should always seek advice from a qualified professional if you need legal advice or if your project involves complex rights issues.

What type of project are you clearing?

A finished record is not always a cleared record.

Before a release reaches a distributor, label or DSP, there may be multiple rights and contributor relationships to document, from producers and mixers to co-writers, featured artists, session performers and artwork creators.
