INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & TRADEMARK NOTICE

1. OWNERSHIP OF MARKS AND VISUAL IDENTITY

2. COMMON LAW TRADEMARK DECLARATION

Notice is hereby given that the Marks and associated visual identities are protected under Common Law Trademark rights. These rights are established through their consistent use in commerce—specifically regarding musical compositions, sound recordings, merchandise, and digital entertainment services.

3. PROTECTION AGAINST IMPERSONATION AND DILUTION

To maintain brand integrity and protect the public from misinformation, the following is strictly prohibited:

• Impersonation: Creating social media profiles, websites, or entities using the Marks or Logos to pose as Demetrious Lennox or an official representative of Kanro Music.

• Visual Mimicry: Using "confusingly similar" logos or aesthetics designed to mislead fans into believing a third-party page is affiliated with or endorsed by Kanro.

• Commercial Infringement: Using the Marks to sell products, services, or media without express written consent.

4. DIGITAL ENFORCEMENT

Unauthorized use of these Marks for the purpose of misleading, harming, or damaging the reputation of Kanro Music will be met with immediate "Notice and Takedown" procedures via the relevant service providers (e.g., Meta, X, TikTok, Spotify) and further legal action if necessary.

EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO ARTWORK & COMMERICAL USE RESTRICTIONS

OWNERSHIP OF MARKS AND VISUAL IDENTITY

All album cover art, single artwork, promotional graphics, merchandise designs, and multimedia visuals associated with Kanro and Kanro Music are the exclusive intellectual property of Demetrious Lennox (protected under applicable copyright and trademark laws).

STRICT COMMERCIAL PROHIBITION

Under no circumstances may any individual, entity, or third party use, reproduce, redistribute, alter, or display this artwork for financial gain, commercial profit, or promotional purposes without an explicit, signed partnership agreement or commercial license from an authorized representative of Kanro Music.

ENFORCEMENT AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED EXPLOITATION

WHO WE ARE

Demetrious Lennox, professionally known as Kanro, is an independent Electronic Dance Music artist based in London, UK. Operating as a fully independent producer and recording artist, Kanro has established a distinct sonic footprint through a series of self-released works alongside select label partnerships.

With a focus on high-energy composition and modern electronic soundscapes, Kanro maintains 100% ownership of his intellectual property and publishing. All live performances and event bookings are managed via authorized event holders or through direct representative contact.

1. UNIVERSAL GRANT OF USE (SOCIAL MEDIA & CONTENT CREATION)

I grant individual creators a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use my musical works as background audio for User Generated Content (UGC).

Eligible Platforms: YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram, Kick, and Twitter/X.

Monetization: You are permitted to monetize your videos or streams. My music is purposefully kept Content ID-free to ensure your content remains claim-free and eligible for ad revenue.

The "Background" Rule: This grant applies only when the music is used to support other content (e.g., a vlog, a gaming highlight, or a tutorial). It does not allow for the re-upload of the song as a standalone "Static Image" video.

2. VIDEO GAME INTEGRATION & SOFTWARE LICENSING

For developers (Roblox, Indie, Steam, Mobile), the music is free to use provided that specific credit is given.

Mandatory Attribution: You must include "Music by Kanro" in the game description, the in-game credits menu, or a visible "Now Playing" UI element.

Reputation Protection: As the artist, I maintain a "Right of Disassociation." If your game promotes hate speech, extreme graphic violence, illegal activities, or content deemed "Not Safe For Work" (NSFW), I reserve the right to demand immediate removal to protect my brand’s likeness.

Revocation: Failure to provide credit or ignoring a formal request for removal will result in a DMCA Takedown of the specified content, game/experience, depending on the severity of the situation. Third party representatives can also get to choose the sanction in which they think is necessary for the situation if their decision is independent.

3. THE "SYNC" DISTINCTION (COMMERCIAL VS. NON-COMMERCIAL)

"Synchronization" (Sync) refers to timed music used in visual media. I distinguish between two types:

Non-Commercial Sync (Free): Using a track as background music for a standard YouTube video or a free-to-play game.

Commercial/Lead Sync (Paid/Contractual): If you intend to use a Kanro track as a Main Theme Song, Menu Music, or in a Paid Advertisement/Trailer for a commercial product (a game with a purchase price, a brand-sponsored film, etc.), you must secure a Commercial Sync License. Using my work as the "identity" of your product requires a separate signed agreement.

4. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) & MACHINE LEARNING PROHIBITIONS

To protect the integrity of my artistry, I strictly prohibit the use of my work in AI ecosystems.

Training Data: You may not use my recordings, melodies, or vocal stems to train, "fine-tune," or prompt generative AI models (e.g., Suno, Udio, RVC, or ElevenLabs).

AI Derivatives: You may not use AI to create "Kanro-style" tracks or to swap my voice onto other songs. Any AI-generated content using my likeness or audio fingerprints will be treated as a high-priority copyright violation.

5. MODIFICATIONS, REMIXES, AND DERIVATIVE WORKS

I support creative expression, but I retain ownership of the underlying composition.

Permitted Edits: You may create "Slowed + Reverb," "Nightcore," or "Sped Up" versions for use in your own social media content.

Distribution Bar: You are strictly prohibited from uploading these modifications to Digital Service Providers (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) or selling them on platforms like Bandcamp.

Credit: All remixes must be titled: Kanro - [Song Name] (Remix/Edit by [Your Name]).

6. NO-PROFIT & ANTI-EXPLOITATION CLAUSE

You may not treat my music as your own intellectual property.

No Resale: You cannot sell my music files, include them in "royalty-free music packs" for sale, or sub-license them to third parties.

No Impersonation: You may not register my music with any Content ID service or "Distro" service under your name or a different alias.

7. LEGAL ENFORCEMENT & DMCA POLICY

I am a firm believer in "Good Faith" communication. However, if these terms are ignored:

Formal Notice: If I identify a breach (lack of credit, unauthorized profit, or brand damage), I will attempt to contact you.

Takedown: If a resolution is not reached within 7 days, or if I am avoided purposefully from communication, a Legal DMCA Takedown will be filed immediately.

Liability: I am not liable for any loss of revenue or "Strikes" on your account resulting from your failure to follow these Terms of Use.
