Distribution Agreement
How Our Distribution Works
Plain-English overview · Updated June 20, 2026 · Done Deal Digital LLC · San Francisco, California
This page is a plain-English summary, not the contract. It explains how a Done Deal Digital distribution deal works so you know what to expect. Your full, signable agreement — with your exact terms — is given to you in writing before you sign or pay anything. Reading this page does not sign you up for anything.
The short version
- You keep your music. Your masters and your publishing stay yours.
- We only earn when you earn. On full-service deals our share is for the work we actually do — and your exact terms are in writing before you pay.
- You stay free on the open market. The only place we ever ask to be your exclusive line is getting your music to the people inside (the prison & jail kiosks). Everywhere else — Spotify, Apple, anywhere — you're free to distribute however you like.
- No surprises. Your split, your term length, what's exclusive, and how to leave are all spelled out in your written agreement before you sign.
Three ways to work with us
We do the work and get you across the wall
You bring your music; we handle the rest — including the part almost no one else can do: getting your music onto the prison and jail kiosks (JPay, Securus, ViaPath/GTL, federal) so the people inside can finally hear you — plus the mainstream streaming services. We earn a share of what your music makes, in exchange for the work we do. You keep your masters and publishing, and your exact split + term are put in writing before you sign.
See Sell in Prisons →You bring a finished song — we put it on streaming, you keep everything
Already have a finished, mixed & mastered master and just want it on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon and more? We distribute it for a simple subscription — $5.99/month or $49.99/year, and you keep 100% of your royalties, your masters, and your publishing. Fully non-exclusive — distribute anywhere else too. Cancel anytime.
Music Distribution →Coming in empty-handed? We can fund the whole project
For artists who don't have the music made yet, we offer sponsorship deals where Done Deal Digital funds and builds the project — studio, production, art, rollout. These are arranged case-by-case, with the ownership, recoupment, and re-recording terms all spelled out for you in writing before anything is signed. Ask us if this is the path for you.
The Open Line →What you keep
The rule is simple: you keep what you bring. If you bring your own finished music, your masters and publishing stay 100% yours — we only take the limited license we need to distribute it, for the length of the deal. If Done Deal Digital records, produces, or fully funds part of a project, who owns that work is set out clearly in your written agreement up front (never a surprise, never buried). You always keep the rights to your songwriting and publishing.
Exclusivity — only where it counts
On a full-service deal, the only channel we ask to handle exclusively is the prison & jail kiosks — because that's the hard, specialized work that's the whole reason Done Deal Digital exists. You remain completely free to use any other distributor for Spotify, Apple Music, and the rest of the open market. Our DSP-only (keep-100%) option is non-exclusive in every way.
Subscriptions, renewals & cancelling
Our DSP-only distribution is a subscription ($5.99/month or $49.99/year). It renews automatically so your music stays live, and you can cancel anytime — your music simply comes down at the end of the period you've already paid for. Full subscription terms, including how to cancel, are on our Terms — Subscriptions page. Full-service and sponsorship deals run for a fixed term that's stated in your written agreement, with a clear, no-games way to not renew.
Your terms, always in writing
Whatever path you choose, before you pay or sign anything we give you a written agreement with your exact terms: your split, your term length, exactly what (if anything) is exclusive, how royalties are paid and how often, and how to leave. If you don't see it in writing, it isn't your deal. We recommend you have your own advisor or attorney review any agreement before you sign — and we're happy to answer questions first.
