Terms of Use

By using the Artist Alliance Web site, you are responsible to honor, at all times, the ownership and copyright laws governing the use of recorded and other intellectual property. We believe in giving full-length songs any from each album so you can get an idea of each artist. After that, we charge you a nominal fee for further downloads. After paying for bandwidth and credit card charges, the entire rest of the amount of each sale goes directly to the artist.

We are committed to quality and ease of use. If you ever have any problems, please contact us by Email or call our customer service phone number at:818.312.6503.

Warranties

Because this is a not-for-profit operation, no warraties on any product sold here on this Web site, or at Artist Alliance sponsored live events, are implied. That said, we will replace any damaged or defective products at no charge to you. We do not offer cash or credit refunds under any circumstances, except high-priced items, such as original art pieces, are shipped with the appropriate insurance coverage, so in the case of damage caused by shipping, the carrier will be responsible for any lost or damaged goods.

Artist Membership Guidelines

We strive to make as many useful tools available to our member artists to help them make a decent living doing what they love to do. For this new concept to work, every artist must participate. We all must share our resources and energy to help each other. Here are the simple rules and regulations of artist membership:

  • Join (free) and interact with others on the Community board whenever possible
  • Share resources and contacts with other member artists*
  • Display graphic Artist Alliance Member link on your web site
  • Make sure I am aware of all gigs, promo and releases, so we can promote them on the site effectively
  • Support other member artists by attending their shows whenever possible
* We are aware of how very long and hard artists work to build followings and contacts. But this concept will only work if everyone is supported equally. Strong upholding and encouraging the weaker (not in their content, but in their ability to promote themselves) This can't realistically be enforced, but if everyone stays to themselves, it will defeat the whole purpose here, which is to pool resources to forward all of our careers.

Above all, respect and tolerance are always required. Since there is such a diversity of different styles and cultures represented here, we all must remain supportive, even if a particular act is not necessarily our 'cup of tea.' Finally, have fun! Art should uplift the spirit. My hope is that this Artist Alliance will be fun and exciting. As long as everyone plays nice, this should be a blast for both artist and consumer alike!
