Payment policy
Money rules, stated plainly.
50% deposit to book a project; 50% before final delivery. Recurring checkout is currently unavailable; monthly work requires a separately approved billing arrangement. No client project starts before payment clears.
- One-off projects: 50% deposit to book, 50% before final delivery.
- Momentum: billed monthly by invoice. Automatic billing is not available yet — this site does not start automatic billing.
- Pass-through costs (mixing, mastering, artwork, video, advertising, press) are quoted separately and prepaid.
- Refunds follow the proposal terms you sign — deposits reserve calendar time and are generally non-refundable once work begins.
How money moves
You pay Apathy for the service. Your royalties stay yours — we never hold your money. You keep your own distributor, MLC, SoundExchange, and PRO accounts; we clean up the data and tell you exactly what to claim. Under the audit's optional terms, our 10% comes only out of newly recovered cash.
Service limitations
What’s not included — and what we never promise.
Separate prepaid pass-through
Mixing, mastering, artwork, video, advertising and press are separate prepaid pass-through work.
- Mixing
- mastering
- artwork
- video

Never guaranteed
- Streams & listeners. Nobody legitimate can promise these — including us.
- Playlist placements. We prepare real pitches; editors decide.
- Press coverage. We don’t sell PR and we don’t fake it.
- Sync placements. The Sync-Ready Pack makes you pitchable; music supervisors decide.
- Virality. Not a product. Not for sale.
Artificial streaming of any kind — bots, click farms, paid playlist payola — is prohibited and ends the engagement immediately. See Terms § Artificial streaming.
