To maintain active distribution, sync pitching, and global royalty administration across our networks, an active platform membership is required.
If your automated payment fails or you choose to let your subscription lapse, your catalog transitions through a structured compliance timeline before any files are permanently removed from our systems.
The 14-Day Grace Period Timeline
We know that expired credit cards and bank updates happen, so we ensure you face no immediate penalties. If an automated renewal charge fails, our billing infrastructure initiates the following automated response sequence:
1.Payment Failure & Retry Protocol:Days 1 - 7.
Our system issues an automated warning email to your primary address and attempts to re-bill the card on file up to three times over a 7-day window. Your catalog remains completely active in all libraries during this stage.
2.Account Restriction & Final Notice:Days 8 - 13.
If billing continues to fail, your access to active sync briefs and dashboard pitching tools is temporarily locked. Your music remains active on our backend, giving you a final window to update your payment method.
3.Terminal Removal Activation:Day 14.
If the account is not brought into good standing by the 14th day, your subscription officially terminates. Our system deploys definitive takedown commands to pull your non-exclusive tracks from all endpoints.
The Operational Impact of Account Termination
Once an account hits the terminal removal phase on Day 14, the offboarding process is absolute, not temporary:
Complete Network Removal: Your non-exclusive tracks are entirely un-indexed and deleted from our master library and all 100+ partner music libraries.
Fingerprint Deactivation: Digital fingerprinting via the YouTube Content ID registry is canceled, and all automated forward-looking claim generation is permanently halted.
Sync Brief Cancellation: Any active sync placements currently in processing or undergoing legal clearances will be immediately canceled.
Why Fees Matter: Administering non-exclusive music requires massive server overhead and manual corporate labor—including compiling global usage reports from foreign PROs, executing monthly legal catalog clearance scrubs, and routing micro-payouts. Your subscription fee directly funds these active administration pipelines.
Retaining Your Earnings & Payout Status
Even after your subscription ends and your non-exclusive tracks are pulled, you will continue to have baseline login access to your dashboard. This ensures you can view, track, and completely withdraw any historical royalties or domestic earnings owed to you from past placements or exclusive library licenses through your That Pitch Bank interface.
Rejoining and the Full Re-Delivery Process
If you choose to reactivate your account after your catalog has been removed, your music cannot simply be "unpaused." Because your assets were completely wiped from external databases on Day 14 to protect library integrity, re-establishing your profile requires a complete technical re-delivery:
Automated Asset Ingestion: Upon processing a successful reactivation payment, our system initiates a brand-new delivery sequence.
Global Repropagation: Your master audio files, track metadata, and split agreements are packaged and re-distributed to our partner libraries as completely new ingestions.
Content ID Fingerprinting: Your tracks are re-submitted to the YouTube Content ID registry to re-initialize automated tracking and protection workflows from scratch.
Simple version: If your payment fails, you have a 14-day grace period to update your billing before your non-exclusive tracks are completely deleted from our system and all 100+ libraries. If you choose to rejoin later, your music isn't just unpaused—it undergoes a complete digital re-delivery and re-ingestion process across our entire distribution and YouTube Content ID network from scratch.
