Last updated: 17 August 2026 — Sonik Publishing v4.8.1 (content schema 1.0.2).
1. About These Terms
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of Nishiani Copyright Management (the "Site", reachable at nishiani.com), operated by [set in Customizer → Pages → Legal Entity], Belgium (the "Publisher", "we", "us"). By accessing the Site, browsing the catalogue, or submitting a sync pitch or writer enquiry, you accept these Terms in full. If you do not accept them, please leave the Site.
2. Nature of the Site
Nishiani Copyright Management is a music-publishing platform. It exists to:
- Promote the songs and compositions in our catalogue, alongside the writers and composers we represent.
- Showcase recent sync placements (film, television, advertising, games, trailers).
- Allow songwriters, composers, producers and rights-holders to pitch material for publishing representation or sync consideration.
- Allow third parties (e.g. sync supervisors, music supervisors, A&R) to contact us regarding the catalogue.
The Site is not a music store, not a streaming service, and does not transfer ownership of any work or recording to visitors.
3. Intellectual Property of the Catalogue
All content published on the Site — including but not limited to song titles, writer / composer credits, ISWC and ISRC identifiers, audio previews, artwork, accompanying text, biographies, sub-publisher attribution, photographs and video — is owned by [set in Customizer → Pages → Legal Entity] or its licensors, or is published under a written representation agreement with the underlying rights-holder. All rights reserved.
You may view the catalogue for your personal, non-commercial information. You may not reproduce, redistribute, sample, adapt, broadcast, synchronise, perform publicly, or otherwise exploit any work appearing on the Site without prior written authorisation from [set in Customizer → Pages → Legal Entity] and (where applicable) the underlying rights-holder. Sync, master-use, and mechanical licences must be arranged through us using the contact details below.
4. Sync Pitches and Writer Submissions
The Site provides a sync-pitch / writer-submission form (the "Pitch Form"). When you submit material through the Pitch Form, you represent and warrant that:
- You are at least 18 years old (or, where you are pitching on behalf of a minor, the legal guardian of that minor) and have full capacity to enter into these Terms.
- You own or control the rights to the song(s), recording(s), and any artwork, lyrics or accompanying material you submit, or you have the express written authorisation of the rights-holder to submit them on their behalf.
- The material does not infringe the copyright, trade mark, publicity, privacy, or any other right of any third party.
- The personal data you provide about yourself is accurate.
By submitting material you grant [set in Customizer → Pages → Legal Entity] a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to:
- Receive, store, evaluate, and internally circulate the submitted material for the purpose of deciding whether to offer publishing representation, sync representation, or any other commercial relationship.
- Reformat the file for internal review (e.g. transcoding for ease of listening).
This licence is purely evaluative. It does not transfer copyright, does not constitute publishing representation, and does not commit [set in Customizer → Pages → Legal Entity] to any further action. We may decline to respond to any pitch without giving reasons.
If we decide to offer representation, the relationship will be governed by a separate written agreement signed by both parties. Until such an agreement is signed, no representation, no co-publishing, no administration agreement and no royalty entitlement exists.
We do not accept unsolicited finished masters as a substitute for a publishing pitch. Audio attached to the Pitch Form is reviewed for compositional reference only.
5. Acceptable Use
When using the Site you agree not to:
- Submit material that you do not have the right to submit.
- Submit material containing malware, exploits, or otherwise harmful code.
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Site, the underlying database, the hosting environment, or any account.
- Scrape the catalogue at a volume or pace that would impose an unreasonable load on the Site, or that bypasses ordinary browser-rate access.
- Use the Site to defame, harass or impersonate any person, or to send unsolicited commercial messages.
- Republish catalogue metadata in a way that misrepresents the writers, composers, sub-publisher or rights status of a work.
6. Linking and Embedded Content
The Site links to and embeds content from third-party platforms — for example Spotify, Apple Music, Beatport, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, YouTube, YouTube Music, Deezer, Amazon Music, Tidal, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and X / Twitter. Those platforms operate under their own terms and privacy policies; [set in Customizer → Pages → Legal Entity] has no control over and accepts no responsibility for their content, availability, or processing of your data once you click through or interact with embedded media.
7. Disclaimer of Warranty
The Site and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without any warranty of any kind (whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, free of viruses, or that any defect will be corrected.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, [set in Customizer → Pages → Legal Entity] shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages — including loss of profit, loss of opportunity, loss of goodwill, or loss of data — arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site, even if [set in Customizer → Pages → Legal Entity] has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory applicable law (including liability for fraud, gross negligence, or wilful misconduct).
9. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless [set in Customizer → Pages → Legal Entity], its officers, employees and agents against any claim, demand, damages or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (i) your breach of these Terms, (ii) your submission of material to which you did not have the rights, or (iii) your infringement of any third-party right.
10. Privacy
Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy. By accepting these Terms you confirm that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy.
11. Changes to the Site and to These Terms
We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice. We may revise these Terms from time to time; the "Last updated" timestamp and content schema version at the top of the page reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after a revision constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. Material changes will be communicated via the Site or by email where we hold an address for you.
12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of Belgium, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Site or these Terms shall be submitted exclusively to the courts of Brussels, Belgium, save where mandatory consumer-protection law grants you the right to bring proceedings in your country of residence.
13. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, that provision shall be struck or read down to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
