📚 What Exactly Does “Product” Mean?
According to the agreement, a “Product” refers to any digital content that the user (artist, label, or rights holder) submits to UMW for distribution via its platform. This includes, but is not limited to:
🎧 Musical works (tracks, albums, EPs, singles)
🖼️ Artwork or cover images
🎬 Music videos or other visual content
📑 Associated metadata (titles, credits, ISRC/UPC codes, etc.)
📲 Other digital assets packaged as a complete release unit
📍 Why Is This Definition Important?
Because it clearly outlines what materials are covered by the agreement, and what both the user and UMW are authorized to manage and distribute.
🔒 It protects the intellectual property of the artist
🚚 It ensures proper digital delivery across platforms
💰 It allows for accurate royalty calculation
⚖️ It defines the legal scope of the distribution deal
Simple Example:
If you upload an album with 10 tracks, official cover art, and metadata, that entire package is considered a single “Product” within the UMW Core system.
