Terms of Service

• MOTR is free. Nothing is charged to anyone, ever.
• Artists submit music for free, and it stays in the feed for free.
• Every track is heard with no artist name attached, so what comes back is a verdict on the song.
• Nobody can buy their way past the fan vote, because there is nothing to buy.

You need to be 13 or older to swipe, and 18 or older to submit music, because submitting means telling us you hold the rights to it. MOTR is open worldwide and free everywhere.

Submitting is free, and there is nothing to buy at any point afterwards.

• What you get: your track goes into the feed and is played with no artist name attached, so the response is to the music itself.
• What we don't promise: a particular number of plays, a good reception, or any outcome at all. Listeners may pass on it. That is a legitimate result, not a failure of the service.
• You must have the right to submit the track. Don't submit music you don't control.
• We may decline or remove a submission. If we do, we'll tell you why.

Swipe honestly. Automated swiping, multiple accounts, or any attempt to push a particular track through the vote undermines the one part of MOTR that money can't touch. We remove accounts that do it and discount their votes.

Votes are weighted by attention. If you listen to a clip all the way through before deciding, your verdict counts double, and that applies whether you swipe left or right, so it rewards listening rather than approving. Everyone else's vote still counts in full.

If you sign in, we may email you.That means things like a reminder when you haven't swiped in a while, or news about tracks you saved, not adverts for anyone else. Every one carries an unsubscribe link that ends them permanently. For a listener that changes nothing else: your account and your saves stay as they are. For an artist it does more, because email is the only way we can reach you about the charts, the weekly contest or your own release, so unsubscribing also takes your music off the platform. We ask you to confirm that before it happens, nothing is deleted, and submitting again puts you back on with your music. Swipe without an account and we have no address for you, so there's nothing to opt out of.

Clips are 30-second previews supplied by third-party catalog services. Artists and rights holders keep everything they own; we claim no rights in your music beyond showing the preview inside MOTR. Previews come from third-party catalogs, so a track can stop playing or disappear if that catalog changes or withdraws it, which is outside our control.

If you hold rights to something on MOTR and want it removed, email officialmusicontherox@gmail.com with the subject line Copyright notice. We act on these quickly and we do not require a lawyer to be involved.

Please include:

• What the work is, and a link to it on MOTR.
• Proof you own it or act for the owner.
• Your name, address and a contact email.
• A statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised, and that the information in your notice is accurate.

If we remove something of yours and you believe that was wrong, reply to us and say why. We will put it back if the claim does not hold up. Repeatedly submitting music you have no rights to will end your access.
