Agreement Termination & Catalog Exit Policy
Last Updated: October 19, 2026 • Published by Zaventra Music Group Operations
Policy Summary: Standard procedures for contract expiration, takedown issuance, ISRC retention, and final royalty accounting.
1. Catalog Takedowns & Exit
Upon contractual termination or approved takedown request, Zaventra issues electronic takedown instructions (DDEX message
TakeDown) to all connected stores within 5 business days. Stores generally process removals within 2 to 7 days.
2. Post-Termination Royalty Accounting
Because digital platforms report royalties 3 to 6 months in arrears, final royalty statements and balances will continue to be reconciled and remitted until all trailing platform revenues have cleared.
