Effective: 01 AUGUST 2026Last reviewed: 31 July 2026
India-focused draft. Publish only after the bracketed company details, actual workflows and active contact channels are completed.

1. Ownership

You retain rights in content you own. Encoreats and its licensors retain rights in platform software, design, databases, editorial material and brand assets.

2. Licence to operate the Services

When you upload content, you grant Encoreats a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable licence for the period the content is hosted and for reasonable archival or legal periods to store, reproduce, format, translate, transmit, display and distribute it as necessary to operate, secure and improve the Services.

3. Promotional licence

Where you submit public artist, venue, organiser or event content, you also permit Encoreats to use it to promote the relevant profile, event and marketplace through Encoreats channels. Separate written consent is required for unrelated commercial merchandising, exclusive ownership, full music release or film exploitation.

4. Your assurances

You confirm that content is accurate, lawful and not infringing; all depicted people, performers, photographers, labels, venues and rights holders have provided required permissions; and any endorsement or sponsorship is disclosed.

5. Synthetic and materially altered content

Content that is synthetically generated or materially altered in a way that may appear real must be declared and clearly labelled where required. Deceptive impersonation, false event evidence, non-consensual imagery and unlawful synthetic media are prohibited. Do not remove provenance labels or metadata applied for compliance.

6. Moderation and removal

Encoreats may review, label, limit, reject or remove content under the Community Guidelines, law, authority orders or rights complaints. Automated tools may assist, but users may request human review where appropriate.

7. Event photography and recordings

Event organisers must provide clear notice where photography or recording occurs and obtain additional consent where required, particularly for featured use, minors, private areas and commercial exploitation beyond ordinary event coverage.
