Tidal Rave Artist Agreement

Version 2026-10-19 · the version you accept in the game.

Between ECHOHOUSE GHANA LIMITED (registration number CS195052016), Hno. 2A6 SSNIT Flats Court, Adenta, Accra, Ghana ("Tidal Rave", "we") and the artist named in the application ("you"). Artists accept this agreement in the game before their first payout (version 2026-10-19).

1. What this covers

You apply in the game to perform as an artist. Once approved, you can go on the festival stage in the game with your own character, your microphone and performance moves, and play music you upload. Fans can send you gifts bought with Tides, and you can request payouts of your share. This agreement sets the rules for the music, the gifts and the money.

2. Your music (licence)

You grant Tidal Rave a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, stream and perform in the game each music file you upload, for as long as it stays uploaded, and to use short excerpts to promote your performances. You confirm that you own or control every right needed for this: the recording, the composition and the lyrics, including any producers, featured artists, samples and label or publisher rights, and that no collecting society or label will claim against Tidal Rave for plays inside the game. If any of that is not true for a track, do not upload it. You can remove a track at any time; the licence for that track ends when it is removed. You keep all your rights.

If a rights holder claims a track, we will take it down and tell you. Repeated claims end this agreement. You will cover costs we incur because a track you uploaded was not yours to license.

3. Performing

You perform as yourself, under the name you applied with. No hate speech, no explicit sexual content, no incitement, no promotion of other platforms' paid gifting during a performance. We may end a performance or your artist status for a breach. Performances may be recorded by us for safety review and for promotion with your permission.

4. Gifts and your share

Fans send gifts bought with Tides. Each gift is recorded against your earnings in Tides. Your share is 50% of the money we actually receive for the Tides used to gift you, after Apple's or Google's commission and taxes. We convert that to Ghana cedis at the rate shown in the game at the time of the gift (GHS 0.05 per Tide, which we may change with 30 days' notice for future gifts). Gifts are final once sent. Fraudulent gifts (stolen cards, refunded purchases, exploited Tides) are removed from your earnings, and we may hold payouts while we investigate.

5. Payouts

You can request a payout in the game once your earnings reach 1,000 Tides. Payouts are made monthly, after a 7-day hold on the gifts in that period, to the mobile money or bank account you register. Before the first payout we verify your identity (government ID, selfie, and your payout account in your name) and collect your tax details. We may withhold taxes where the law requires and will give you a statement for each payout. Payouts below the minimum roll over. We may refuse or reverse a payout for fraud, a breach of this agreement, or a legal order.

6. No employment

You are an independent artist, not our employee or agent. You are responsible for your own taxes on what we pay you. This agreement gives you no rights over Tidal Rave, its name or its other artists.

7. Data

We store your application, contact details, uploaded music, gift records, payout requests and the identity documents you provide, as described in the Privacy Policy. Identity documents are kept only as long as the law requires.

8. Ending

Either side can end this agreement at any time by notice; we remove your tracks and artist status, and pay out any verified earnings above the minimum at the next payout run. Sections 2 (for past use), 4, 5 and 6 survive.

9. Law

Governed by the laws of Ghana; disputes go to the courts of Ghana.
