Labels, for Artists on a Roster

Who this is for

A label has invited you to its roster on keysig, or you are on one, and you want to know what they see and what you keep.

Joining

1. The label adds you by email. You get an invitation with a link, sent under the label's name.
2. Open the link and sign in, or sign up, with the email the invitation was sent to. The invitation only works for that address.
3. Read what joining means, then choose Join.

What happens next: you are on the roster. You send agreements under the label's plan and can use the label's own templates.

If you are signed in with a different email, the page says so. You can sign in with the invited address instead, or ask the label to move the invitation to the account you are using; the label approves that and sends a fresh link.

What the label can see

The Terms of Service say it precisely, and the join screen says it before you accept:

• Agreements created under the label are visible, read-only, to the label's staff, along with a catalogue view of the tracks those agreements cover and the ownership details they document: the parties, splits, roles and rights-organization identifiers.
• Your personal agreements, and tracks and ownership details documented only by them, are never visible to the label.
• Label staff cannot edit or delete anything of yours.

Label work or your own, per agreement

Every agreement you create is one or the other, and you choose at the start. Templates says which the next agreement will be. The default is the label; one tap makes it personal instead. The choice is fixed the moment the agreement is created, because it decides who can read that document for good. Picked wrong? Duplicate the agreement under the other choice; duplicating is free. A label's own template is always label work.

A label can recommend agreement types, and it can switch some off for label work; a switched-off type is still available to you as personal work.

Credits under a label

While the label's plan is active, your sends and unsigned downloads count against a monthly per-artist limit the label has with keysig, not your own plan. Your Billing page shows the label's number. A send you make as personal work still counts against that limit while you are on the roster: the label sees a credit spent and not the agreement. If the label's plan lapses, you are back on your own plan immediately.

Leaving

Under Account, the Label section has Leave this roster. Before you confirm, keysig tells you what leaving means:

• You keep everything: every agreement, track, collaborator and ownership record stays in your account exactly as it is.
• The label keeps read-only access to the agreements created under it while you were a member. Both of you were part of that work and both keep the record.
• The label stops seeing anything else, and never sees what you create from then on.
• You go back to your own plan and lose access to the label's templates.

What happens next: you are off the roster immediately. A label can also remove you, and can invite you back later; nothing happens to your account either way. If keysig closes the label at its request, every agreement filed under it becomes your personal work, and you are told.

If something goes wrong: if an invitation says it is for another email, or the label context on an agreement looks wrong, see Troubleshooting.
