The Most Important Step to Check First

Before starting the transfer, you must confirm with your current distributor whether catalog transfer to another partner is allowed under your contract.

• if your contract has already ended, transfer is usually straightforward;
• if your contract is still active, some distributors allow early exit;
• in some cases, notice periods or temporary limitations may apply.

This step is critical to avoid rights conflicts, takedowns, or release blocks.
