Terms & Conditions
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the relationship between Ignite Music Marketing ("Ignite," "we," "us," or "our") and the client ("Client," "you," or "Artist") who enrolls in the Ignite Music Accelerator program or any related service offered by Ignite. By submitting payment, signing a service agreement, or otherwise enrolling in any Ignite program, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms in full.
2. Services Provided
The Ignite Music Accelerator is a six (6) month structured growth program designed to help early and mid-stage music artists build engaged fanbases and create the infrastructure required to scale their artist project. The core program includes:
A dedicated growth expert assigned to the Client's artist project
Weekly strategy calls and ongoing access to the Ignite team via group chat
Weekly data-backed content posting schedules
Weekly performance review and optimization recommendations
Brand and artist "world" development
Initial market research and target audience identification
Strategy and systems for engaged social media follower growth, active Spotify monthly listener growth, and email/SMS list building

Access to specialists for breakout calls as needed
The specific deliverables in any given week are determined by Ignite based on the Client's current stage, available data, and the strategic priorities established at the start of the program.
3. Services Not Included
The following services are not included in the standard Ignite Music Accelerator monthly fee and are billed separately at rates communicated to the Client in writing before any work begins:
Paid advertising campaigns, including Facebook/Meta ads, Spotify ads, TikTok ads, YouTube ads, or any other paid media spend. Ad management is offered as a separate service at an additional monthly fee plus setup fee, and the Client is responsible for all ad spend paid directly to the relevant platforms.
Mass UGC and influencer campaigns, including paid creator sourcing, content commissioning, and influencer outreach.
Content filming, editing, and post-production beyond strategic guidance.
Merchandise design, production, and fulfillment.
Tour booking, venue negotiation, and live show production.
Music production, engineering, mixing, and mastering.
Sync, record, and distribution deal negotiation, beyond strategic introduction and guidance. Success fees apply if a deal is secured.
Public relations, press outreach, and media buying.
Legal, accounting, tax, or financial advisory services.
Any additional service requested by the Client will be quoted separately, and no additional service will begin until written confirmation and payment terms are agreed upon.
4. Program Term & Structure
The Ignite Music Accelerator is structured as a six (6) month engagement. The Client agrees to participate in the program for the full six months from the date of the first payment.
The first six months of the program are designed to build the foundational systems required for the Client's artist project to scale. These systems include brand identity, audience research, content production infrastructure, social media systems, Spotify algorithm targeting systems, owned-audience (email/SMS) systems, and the data and analytics infrastructure required to evaluate performance.
After the initial six months, the Client may elect to continue working with Ignite on a month-to-month basis. The post-program engagement is focused on scaling the systems built during the initial six months. Continued engagement is at the discretion of both parties and subject to the then-current monthly fee.
Ignite does not guarantee that any specific outcome or milestone will be reached within the initial six months or at any other point during the engagement.
5. Payment Terms
The Ignite Music Accelerator is offered at the following rates:
Monthly billing: $2,000 USD per month, billed on the same calendar date each month for six consecutive months ($12,000 total).
Paid-in-full option: $10,000 USD paid upfront at the start of the program, representing a discount of $2,000 off the monthly rate.
The Client is responsible for ensuring valid payment information is on file at all times during the engagement. Failed payments may result in suspension of services until payment is resolved. Recurring services are not provided during periods of nonpayment, but the underlying contractual obligation to complete the six-month term remains in effect.
All fees are non-refundable except as expressly provided in Section 6.
6. Cancellation & Refunds
Refunds are not guaranteed. By enrolling in the Ignite Music Accelerator, the Client commits to the full six-month program and agrees that payments are non-refundable except at Ignite's sole discretion.
The Client may not cancel the six-month engagement once payment has been made. If the Client elects to discontinue active participation in the program prior to completion, all remaining payments contracted for the six-month term remain due, and any paid-in-full amount is non-refundable.
Ignite may, at its sole and absolute discretion, offer a partial or full refund in cases where (a) the Client has fully completed the six-month program, (b) the Client has demonstrably followed the strategy, schedules, and recommendations provided by the Ignite team throughout the engagement, and (c) Ignite determines in good faith that the Client did not meaningfully benefit from the program. Any decision regarding such a refund rests entirely with Ignite. No refund is owed or implied based on Client dissatisfaction alone, perceived lack of results, or any other subjective measure.
This Section supersedes any general guarantee statements that may appear in promotional materials. By signing this agreement, the Client acknowledges that no refund is owed except as expressly described above.
7. Client Responsibilities
The success of the Ignite Music Accelerator depends on the active, consistent participation of the Client. By enrolling, the Client agrees to the following responsibilities and acknowledges that the program cannot succeed without them:
Content creation and posting. The Client is solely responsible for creating, capturing, and publishing all content (audio, video, photo, written) according to the schedules and guidance provided by Ignite. Ignite provides strategy, schedule, and creative direction. The Client provides execution.
Account management. The Client is solely responsible for maintaining and operating their social media accounts (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, etc.), streaming profiles (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.), email/SMS platforms, and any other artist-facing accounts. Ignite may provide guidance and strategy but does not own, control, or assume liability for any Client account.
Music production and release readiness. The Client is responsible for ensuring music is produced, mixed, mastered, and ready for release in accordance with the Client's chosen release calendar.
Attendance. The Client agrees to attend weekly strategy calls and any scheduled breakout calls. Missed calls may result in loss of strategic continuity and slower results.
Timely communication. The Client agrees to respond to Ignite team communications within a reasonable timeframe to keep weekly cycles on track.
Access and data. The Client agrees to provide Ignite with the access required to perform the services — including but not limited to read access to Spotify for Artists, Meta Business Suite, TikTok Analytics, and similar platforms — and to provide accurate data when requested.
Honest representations. The Client agrees to provide accurate information about their current artist project, history, goals, and constraints.
Compliance with platform rules. The Client agrees to operate within the rules and terms of service of every platform their project uses.
Time commitment. The Client acknowledges that the program requires approximately 5 to 10 hours per week of active Client involvement.
Failure to meet these responsibilities may slow or prevent results, and in such cases, no refund or remedy is owed by Ignite.
8. No Guarantee of Results
Ignite makes no guarantee, representation, or warranty — express or implied — regarding any specific outcome, metric, milestone, revenue figure, follower count, monthly listener count, stream count, ticket sale figure, merchandise revenue, deal, opportunity, or any other measurable result arising from the Client's participation in the program.
Past results, case studies, testimonials, and aggregate statistics shared by Ignite in marketing materials, sales conversations, or other communications reflect outcomes achieved by specific past Clients and are not predictions or promises of future results. Results vary substantially based on the Client's starting point, genre, music quality, audience, work ethic, content creation consistency, execution quality, market conditions, platform algorithm changes, and many other factors outside Ignite's control.
The Client acknowledges that the music industry is inherently unpredictable, that no marketing program can guarantee viral moments, algorithmic placement, fan response, or commercial success, and that the Client is enrolling with full awareness of this uncertainty.
9. Intellectual Property
Client's intellectual property. The Client retains full ownership of all original music, recordings, masters, lyrics, brand assets, artwork, content, and any other intellectual property created by or on behalf of the Client. Nothing in this agreement transfers any ownership of the Client's intellectual property to Ignite.
Ignite's intellectual property. Ignite retains full ownership of all systems, methodologies, frameworks, templates, posting schedules, training materials, internal documents, proprietary research, the Ignite Music Accelerator framework, the "Plateau Problem" framework, and any other proprietary materials provided to the Client. The Client is granted a non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use these materials for the purpose of the Client's own artist project during the engagement and any continued engagement thereafter. The Client may not copy, distribute, resell, or share these materials with any third party, including other artists, agencies, or competitors.
Marketing rights. Ignite may, with the Client's prior written approval on each instance, reference the Client's name, results, and progress in marketing materials. The Client may opt out of any such use by providing written notice.
10. Confidentiality
Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information shared during the course of the engagement, including business strategies, financial data, music demos, unreleased recordings, audience data, and any other sensitive material. Neither party will disclose such information to any third party without the express written consent of the other, except where disclosure is required by law.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Ignite, its team members, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to loss of revenue, loss of profits, loss of audience, loss of streams, loss of opportunity, loss of data, or reputational harm — arising out of or related to the Client's enrollment in or participation in the program, even if Ignite has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Ignite's total cumulative liability to the Client under this agreement shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Client to Ignite under this agreement.
12. Indemnification
The Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ignite, its team members, contractors, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) the Client's content, music, brand, or conduct, (b) any breach by the Client of these Terms, (c) any violation by the Client of any third-party rights or applicable law, and (d) any platform suspension, ban, or penalty imposed on the Client by a third-party platform.
13. Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for any failure to perform under this agreement due to causes beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disaster, war, civil unrest, pandemic, government action, major platform outage, internet failure, or major algorithm change. The affected party will promptly notify the other and use reasonable efforts to resume performance.
14. Termination by Ignite
Ignite reserves the right to terminate this agreement at any time, with or without cause, including but not limited to circumstances in which the Client (a) fails to make a scheduled payment, (b) becomes abusive, threatening, or disrespectful toward the Ignite team, (c) engages in fraud, misrepresentation, illegal activity, or activity that violates platform rules in a manner that could harm Ignite's reputation, or (d) materially fails to meet the responsibilities outlined in Section 7. In the event of termination by Ignite for cause, no refund of paid fees is owed.
15. Governing Law
This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [STATE], United States, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this agreement shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in [COUNTY], [STATE], and the parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
Note: Replace [STATE] and [COUNTY] with your actual business jurisdiction before publishing.
16. Changes to These Terms
Ignite reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated to active Clients in writing. Continued participation in the program after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
