Terms and Conditions

Welcome to Circuit Hum.

 

By submitting your music to our platform, you agree to the following terms and conditions:

1. Weekly Charts (Free Submission)

  • Process: Submission to our weekly charts is free of charge. Our editorial team will review all submissions to determine if they meet the website’s aesthetic and quality standards.

  • Selection & Voting: If selected, your submitted music (via YouTube video/audio) will be placed in the "Overture" section below the official list. This allows our audience to vote on the track.

  • Promotion: Tracks that garner significant listener interest may be moved to a higher position on the official chart. Additionally, selected tracks may be featured on our blog as an "Interesting Release" at no extra cost.

2. "New Releases" Section (Paid Submission)

  • Submission Requirements: You must provide a working link to a single track on YouTube. Submissions containing multiple tracks or broken links will not be processed.

  • Selection Process: This is a curated service. We will review your submission and contact you within one week if your entry is selected for feature.

  • Payment & Pricing: The fee for this promotion is €9 per song. Payment instructions will be sent only after your track has been selected.

  • Turnaround Time: Once payment is received, your music will be published in the "New Releases" section within ten working days.

  • Editorial Integrity: To maintain an authentic experience for our readers, we do not share reviews for approval prior to publication. However, we only select music we genuinely enjoy; therefore, all reviews will be honest but positive in character.
