Terms Of Use for Kanro Music

INTRODUCTION & LEGAL BINDING

This document constitutes a formal Terms of Use (TOU) and Music Licensing Agreement between Demetrious Aldinio Lennox (professionally known as "Kanro"), the 100% sole copyright holder of the musical works ("The Music"), and you ("The User" or "The Creator").

My music is provided as a resource for the creative community; however, access and use are strictly conditional upon your agreement to the terms outlined below. By downloading, streaming, or synchronizing Kanro’s music within any digital medium—including but not limited to video games, livestreams, and social media—you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these terms.

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.
