Non-Exclusive Distribution — Flexibility and Store-Level Control

• you may work with multiple distributors at the same time;
• you choose the specific stores where your releases will be distributed through Sundesire;
• you may distribute the same content to other stores via other distributors;
• the standard commission is 30%.

However, it is critical to understand:

• all stores you assign to Sundesire become exclusive for those platforms;
• you must not distribute the same content to those same stores through other distributors;
• this rule protects your releases from duplicates, takedowns, and ISRC conflicts.

This format is ideal for:

• testing the platform without terminating existing contracts;
• partial catalog transfers;
• flexible multi-distributor distribution strategies.

Exclusive Distribution — Single Channel and Reduced Commission

• your selected catalog is distributed only through Sundesire Media Worx;
• you do not distribute the same content through any other distributors in any store;
• you receive a reduced commission of 25%;
• priority moderation and extended support may apply;
• terms are fixed for a defined contractual period.

The exclusive model is best suited for:

• artists focused on long-term growth;
• labels with a unified catalog strategy;
• projects with an active release schedule.

Legal and Strategic Differences

• in both models, full copyright ownership remains with you;
• you grant only the right of digital distribution;
• exclusive distribution limits only the distribution channels, not ownership;
• in non-exclusive distribution, exclusivity operates at the individual store level;
• all conditions are clearly fixed in the contract.
