Credits, tribute & royalties
Honor the people behind the music
CLACK creators credit the musicians, songwriters, composers, publishers, recording owners and estates whose work inspires them. A tribute does not imply endorsement or grant permission. Source credits are generated from the creator’s supplied details and reviewed before release; they are not automatic audio identification or ownership verification.
Each approved uploaded release has a shareable credit page at https://clackmusic.com/music/credits/TRACK-ID.

These are external research and licensing links. CLACK has not activated a royalty payment connection to ASCAP or BMI. Public-performance licensing does not clear samples, borrowed lyrics, master recordings or every download use.
Direct royalty agreements
The verified rights holder and CLACK must agree in writing to the rate, permitted uses, territories, term and payment basis. Our direct sales ledger supports a signed percentage of receipts excluding sales tax, shipping and refunds, plus a CLACK-funded 2% bonus on the royalty amount. A $100 royalty becomes $102. Publishing shares, statutory royalties, advances and PRO fees need their own appropriate licenses and accounting; they are not silently converted into a percentage of sales.
Statement periods: January–June and July–December. Settlement targets: July 31 and January 31, subject to the signed license. Earlier contractual or statutory deadlines take precedence and need a separate schedule. Unverified or disputed claims stay on hold.
The reserve shown in CLACK is an accounting liability. It is not escrow, proof of segregated bank funds or confirmation of a payment. Stripe payouts require recipient onboarding, account capability verification and actual available funds.
