The legal terms governing your use of merchanttunes.com — what you can do, what you can't, who owns what, and how disputes are resolved. Read once. We'll tell you when anything changes.
By using this site, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) constitute a binding legal agreement between you (“you,” “your,” or “User”) and Anthera Music, the operator of merchanttunes.com (collectively with its affiliates, “Anthera Music,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of merchanttunes.com, any subdomains, the Merchant artist brand, and any related services we provide (collectively, the “Site”).
By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Site, you represent that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Site.
If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case the terms “you” and “your” refer to that entity.
Electronic Acceptance. You acknowledge and agree that your access to or use of the Site, or your submission of any form, constitutes electronic agreement to these Terms with the same legal effect as a handwritten signature, in accordance with the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as enacted in your U.S. state, the EU eIDAS Regulation (910/2014), and the Bahamas Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, 2003. You consent to receive any required notices, disclosures, and agreements by electronic means.
For the purposes of these Terms, the following definitions apply:
The Site is intended for users who are at least thirteen (13) years of age. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. If you are between the ages of 13 and 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater), you may use the Site only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.
Certain features of the Site — including but not limited to newsletter subscription, future merchandise purchases, and direct email correspondence — may have additional age or jurisdictional requirements noted at the point of use.
Anthera Music reserves the right to refuse, terminate, or restrict access to any User who we have reasonable basis to believe does not meet these eligibility requirements.
We may modify these Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. When we do, we will:
Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the Site.
Merchant's music, photos, lyrics, videos, and the design of this site are protected by copyright and trademark law. You can listen, watch, share links, and read — but you can't take ownership of the work, redistribute it, or use it commercially without written permission.
All Site Content is owned by Anthera Music, the Artist, or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, trade dress, publicity rights, moral rights, and other intellectual property laws of The Bahamas, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and applicable international treaties including the Berne Convention and the WIPO Copyright Treaty.
Specifically, and without limitation:
All rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved by Anthera Music, the Artist, and its licensors. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as transferring ownership of any intellectual property to you.
The Artist's name, likeness, voice, signature, biographical details, and other indicia of identity are protected by rights of publicity, including without limitation under California Civil Code §§ 3344 and 3344.1 (post-mortem); Tennessee Personal Rights Protection Act, Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-25-1101 et seq. (the “Elvis Presley Act”); New York Civil Rights Law §§ 50, 51, and 50-f; the common-law right of publicity recognized in numerous U.S. states; the Trade Marks Act, 1908 of The Bahamas as it pertains to personal-name protection; and analogous statutes, common-law doctrines, and personality-rights frameworks in other jurisdictions.
Use of any such material to imply endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, or association with any product, service, or commercial activity without written authorization from Anthera Music is prohibited and may result in legal action, including for false endorsement under § 43(a) of the U.S. Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)) and analogous unfair-competition law.
Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, Anthera Music grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access the Site and view, stream, and listen to Site Content for your personal, non-commercial enjoyment.
This license expressly permits you to:
This license does not include any right to sell, sublicense, modify, distribute, perform publicly, display publicly, or prepare derivative works of any Site Content. Any use beyond the scope of this license requires advance written permission from Anthera Music.
You agree not to, and not to permit any third party to:
Merchant's music, voice, photographs, and writing must not be used to train AI models, voice-cloning systems, image generators, or any other automated content-generation system without written permission. This is a serious restriction and we treat violations as material breach.
In addition to the restrictions in Section 7, you specifically agree that you will not, and you will not authorize, enable, or assist any third party to:
Anthera Music expressly reserves all rights to authorize or prohibit the use of Site Content for text and data mining, machine learning, and AI training, including under Article 4(3) of EU Directive 2019/790 on Copyright in the Digital Single Market and equivalent provisions in the United Kingdom, United States (including under emerging frameworks), Bahamas, and other jurisdictions. This reservation is made expressly and in machine-readable form on the Site.
Violation of this Section 8 constitutes a material breach of these Terms. In addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, Anthera Music shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, statutory damages, attorneys' fees, and profit disgorgement.
The Site does not currently host comment threads, message boards, or open user-submission interfaces. User Content is limited to:
By submitting any User Content, you grant Anthera Music a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, fully transferable, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, display, and perform the User Content in any media now known or hereafter developed, for purposes including but not limited to:
By submitting User Content, you represent and warrant that:
Anthera Music has no obligation to monitor, store, retain, or respond to any User Content. We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to remove, block, or refuse to act on any User Content at any time, with or without notice, in our sole discretion.
Anthera Music respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects Users to do the same. We comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and analogous legal frameworks in other jurisdictions.
If you believe that material on the Site infringes your copyright, please submit a written notice to our designated agent containing:
Notices should be directed to: Anthera Music — DMCA Agent, antheramusichq@gmail.com, with the subject line “DMCA Notice.”
U.S. Copyright Office Registration. To the extent the Site qualifies as an online service provider under 17 U.S.C. § 512, Anthera Music will register, or has registered, a designated agent with the United States Copyright Office through the official directory at dmca.copyright.gov, in accordance with § 512(c)(2). The current registration status is available through the public directory under the name “Anthera Music.” Where registration has not yet been completed, this Policy and the email address above serve as the operational contact and good-faith effort to satisfy the notice-and-takedown obligations of the Act, and registration will be completed before the Site materially expands its hosting of user-generated content.
If material you posted has been removed pursuant to a DMCA notice and you believe in good faith that the removal was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to the designated agent containing all of the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):
Upon receipt of a compliant counter-notification, we will follow the procedures set forth in 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2), including forwarding the counter-notification to the original complainant and restoring the material in not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days unless we receive notice that the original complainant has filed a court action.
Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), Anthera Music has adopted and reasonably implements a policy providing for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of the accounts and access privileges of Users who are repeat infringers of copyright. Where the Site permits Users to maintain accounts or post content (currently limited as described in Section 9 of these Terms), accumulated valid DMCA notices against the same User will be treated as evidence of repeat infringement and will result in account termination after reasonable opportunity to respond.
For copyright complaints by rights-holders in jurisdictions outside the United States, Anthera Music will accept and act on notices that meet the substantive requirements of the Information Society Directive 2001/29/EC and Article 17 of Directive (EU) 2019/790, the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, the Bahamas Copyright Act, 1998, and analogous frameworks. Such notices may be sent to the same email address with the subject line “Copyright Notice — [Jurisdiction].”
The Site embeds and links to third-party streaming and media services including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Tidal, Audiomack, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, ONErpm smart links, and Bandsintown (collectively, “Third-Party Services”).
Use of Third-Party Services is governed by the respective terms and privacy policies of those services. Anthera Music is not responsible for the operation, content, accuracy, availability, or practices of Third-Party Services. Embedded media may set cookies or collect usage data per the policies of the providing service; we describe this in our Privacy Policy.
Streaming royalties for Recordings on Third-Party Services are administered by ONErpm and Anthera Music in accordance with applicable distribution agreements. Inquiries about royalty accounting should be directed to Anthera Music.
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, services, or resources that are not owned or controlled by Anthera Music. We provide such links for convenience and reference only. We do not endorse, sponsor, or assume responsibility for any third-party site or service. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to those sites' terms.
By submitting your email address to our newsletter form, you consent to receive periodic email communications from Anthera Music regarding Merchant releases, tour announcements, merchandise launches, and related editorial content. You confirm that you are the owner of the email address submitted or have authorization from the owner to subscribe.
We aim to send no more than four to six emails per month, with frequency increasing during release cycles. We do not engage in automated “engagement” campaigns or behavioral retargeting.
Every email contains a one-click unsubscribe link, which removes you from our mailing list immediately. Subscription data is processed through MailerLite, our email service provider; their handling is described in our Privacy Policy.
Anthera Music does not sell, rent, or share newsletter subscriber lists with third parties for marketing purposes. Email addresses are used solely for the communications described in this Section.
The Site is not currently transacting commercial sales. The shop is scheduled to open in August 2026 alongside the Strange Philosophy LP launch. Additional commerce terms will be appended to or incorporated into these Terms before the shop opens, and active subscribers will receive notice.
When commerce launches, the following minimum terms will apply, and may be expanded:
Editorial use of cleared press materials — including the photography listed on the Photos page, biographical copy, and verified press citations — is permitted for legitimate journalistic, editorial, and review purposes, with the following conditions:
Hi-resolution press files are available on request through the press page or by emailing antheramusichq@gmail.com.
THE SITE AND ALL SITE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Anthera Music, the Artist, and our affiliates, licensors, contractors, and service providers expressly disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to: implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement; warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade; and warranties as to the accuracy, reliability, completeness, currency, or timeliness of the Site Content.
Anthera Music does not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components. You are solely responsible for any precautions necessary to protect your equipment and data.
No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from Anthera Music or through the Site, shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in such jurisdictions, the foregoing exclusions may not apply to you, and our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANTHERA MUSIC, THE ARTIST, OR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
This includes, without limitation, damages for: lost profits; lost revenue; lost data; loss of use; loss of goodwill; business interruption; cost of substitute goods or services; damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Site; or damages arising from any unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data.
This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based — whether contract, tort, strict liability, statute, or otherwise — and even if Anthera Music has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
In jurisdictions that do not allow the limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the liability of Anthera Music shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
In no event shall the total aggregate liability of Anthera Music to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site exceed the greater of: (a) one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100.00); or (b) the amount you have paid to Anthera Music in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Anthera Music, the Artist, and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, contractors, and service providers from and against all claims, demands, suits, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
Anthera Music reserves the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you agree to cooperate with our defense.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including but not limited to:
All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination — including without limitation Section 5, Section 8, Section 17, Section 18, Section 20, and Section 21 — shall survive termination.
These Terms and any dispute arising from or related to them or the Site shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.
Subject to Section 21, you and Anthera Music agree that any judicial proceeding to resolve claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the Site shall be brought in the courts of competent jurisdiction located in New Providence, The Bahamas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.
Limits on forum-selection clause. We acknowledge that some jurisdictions — including certain U.S. states, EU member states, the United Kingdom, and Canada — restrict the enforceability of forum-selection clauses against consumers, particularly where the chosen forum is significantly inconvenient for the consumer or where mandatory consumer-protection law of the consumer's residence applies. Nothing in this Section is intended to deprive any consumer of the protections of mandatory consumer-protection law of their place of residence, and these Terms shall be construed to give effect to such mandatory protections to the extent required by applicable law.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
Before filing any formal claim against Anthera Music, you agree to first contact us at antheramusichq@gmail.com with the subject line “Dispute Resolution” and a clear description of the dispute. We will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally within thirty (30) days.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Anthera Music agree that any claim shall be brought in your or our individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative action.
You agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Site must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Anthera Music with respect to the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether oral or written.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforceable to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Anthera Music's failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them, by operation of law or otherwise, without Anthera Music's prior written consent. Anthera Music may freely assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.
Anthera Music shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance arising from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, hurricanes, pandemics, war, terrorism, riots, strikes, governmental actions, internet or telecommunications outages, or third-party service-provider failures.
Section headings are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
These Terms are written in English. Any translation is for convenience only; the English version controls in case of inconsistency.
Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between you and Anthera Music.
