Epoch Music App Terms of Service
Terms of Service
Effective Date: 4/1/2026
BETA / EARLY ACCESS NOTICE: The EPOCH MUSIC APP is currently offered in beta or preview. Features may be incomplete, change without notice, or be discontinued. Beta access is provided as is and as available without warranties of any kind. Our app is FREE to use and therefore all users use at your own risk.
These Terms of Service are between you and Phantom Power Music LLC (Tennessee) governing your access to and use of the Epoch Music App, related websites, and services.
1. Scope and Key Concepts
The EPOCH Music App is a service. It is a digital audio, publishing ledger, platform. It may allow listening to content, artist onboarding, publishing and collaboration workflows, value-for-value payments, fan balances, and transparent event-to-ledger recording of monetization activity associated with songs or music catalogs.
2. Payment Model and Lightning Disclosures
The Service may help users initiate, record, and manage transactions using the Lightning Network, and, where available, other payment rails supported by third-party providers. We do not provide banking services, investment advice, or money transmission services except to the extent such services are performed by regulated third-party providers.
All transactions are final and irreversible once initiated. You are solely responsible for payments within the app. We are not responsible for losses caused by wallet errors, user error, third-party failures, network issues, or the irreversible nature of Lightning payments.
The Service may also support payout workflows recorded in our internal ledger and/or facilitated by third-party infrastructure providers.
3. Accounts, Eligibility, and Verification
To use certain features, you must create an account and provide accurate, complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account.
We or our providers may require identity verification, tax information, banking information, or other onboarding steps before allowing access to funding, payout, withdrawal, or other financial features. Access may be delayed, limited, suspended, or denied based on jurisdiction, risk review, provider requirements, or failure to complete requested steps.
4. Artist Onboarding, Publishing, Attestations, and Splits
If you are an artist, rights holder, or collaborator, you represent that you have the rights necessary to upload, publish, and monetize your content. You agree to provide accurate rights, split, and collaborator information and to complete any required attestation or onboarding steps. All liability for funds owed to your collaborators is on the user entering the splits information. EPOCH Music App has no responsibility for third party contractual obligations that they artist is required to fulfill. All disputes are handled between the artist and the collaborator.
4.1 Pending and Unclaimed Allocations
If splits are allocated to collaborators who have not yet claimed their allocation, completed onboarding, or configured payout details, those amounts may be recorded in a pending status within the Service ledger until claimed, resolved, reclaimed, or otherwise handled under Service rules and applicable law.
Any pending (escrow) status in the Service refers to an internal ledger or product designation for pending or unclaimed amounts. It does not mean that a formal legal escrow, trust, or fiduciary account has been established unless expressly stated.
Any collaborator earnings that are left unclaimed for 366 days will be returned to the original artist.
5. Funding, Boosts, Purchases, and Fees
The Service may allow users to fund balances, send boosts or tips, and make purchases. Funding methods, limits, fees, and availability may vary by jurisdiction, account status, verification status, and third-party provider support. EPOCH Music App will charge for in-app purchases or platform fees, which will be disclosed in-product or on our website.
6. Fan Balances, Earnings, and Payouts
If the Service provides fan balances or stored-value features, those balances represent prepaid in-app credit recorded within the Service and/or maintained through payment infrastructure providers. Fan balances are not bank deposits, do not earn interest, and are not held in a trust or formal escrow account.
Artist or collaborator earnings shown in the Service are ledgered amounts that may be subject to split rules, permissions, reserves, pending status, verification requirements, payout thresholds, provider availability, and compliance review before becoming eligible for payout.
Self-serve withdrawals may not be available for certain balance types in the current version of the Service. Any refund, reversal, withdrawal, or payout request may be subject to support review, fraud prevention, verification, provider requirements, and legal constraints.
7. Third-Party Services
The Service may integrate with third-party platforms, wallets, apps, or services. We are not responsible for their availability, legality, security, or performance. Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms.
8. Acceptable Use
You may use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with these Terms. You must not violate laws or third-party rights, upload content you do not have the right to use, interfere with the Service, circumvent security, scrape the Service, or introduce malware. We have no obligation to monitor User Content or other activity on the Service, but we reserve the right to do so and to remove content or suspend access for violations.
9. Content
