Why do tracks need to be exclusive for 6 months?
Regularly we get the question: Why does my track need to be exclusive for House of Tracks for 6 months?
As soon as you upload a track on House of Tracks, you automatically grant exclusive rights to HoT for a period of 6 months.
If the track is not sold within 6 months after it was uploaded, you will get the option to delete the track from our platform, this will return all rights back to you. Do keep in mind that if the track is exposed anywhere outside of House of Tracks the track can't be re-uploaded to our platform.
Why 6 months?
Well, first of all, we put a lot of work into every uploaded track.
We listen to each and every one of them and spread and promote them.
Also, most tracks need a little time to have a chance to get heard, because, of course, not every potential buyer checks our site every single day.
There are exceptions though: some tracks are sold within 10 minutes.
No deleting
Some of our clients also try to delete their uploaded tracks before the 6-month period is over.
This is not possible!
As said above, when you upload a track to HoT, it will stay put for 6 months.
This is clearly explained in our Terms & Conditions.
The same goes for mixing and mastering.
Do be aware that once you've uploaded a track, you can't delete nor re-master it for 6 months.
So make sure you only upload tracks that you're totally happy about.
