Your rights
The license has no stated end date — Section 9.1.
A heads-up: Section 9.1 takes a licence over what you send and never states how long it lasts. Scope, duration and revocability are what a licence means — an ownership disclaimer standing next to it settles none of them, so this is the question to put to Tribe of Noise BV in writing before you enter.

A Dutch music-licensing community, founded in 2008, that publishes both halves of the deal in plain public text: what it pays and what it takes. Uploading is free, there is no window or closing date — so this listing runs in the rolling state rather than carrying a manufactured deadline — and the split is stated as arithmetic rather than as a promise: 15% comes off the top for transaction costs, and the remaining 85% is divided evenly, “42,5% to you and 42,5% to us.”

Exclusivity is answered directly and in the artist’s favour: music is uploaded on a non-exclusive basis, and the FAQ actively encourages uploading the same music elsewhere. That is the field most of this class leaves blank: in the sourcing sweep behind this desk, two of roughly twenty-five libraries published both the revenue split and the licence terms without an account, and this is one of the two.

What the terms do not state is how long the licence lasts, and that is what the heads-up on this card reports. Section 9.1 grants a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable licence with the right to sublicense, and no end date appears anywhere in the captured text; Section 12.4 says the licences already granted stay valid after the relationship ends. Neither sentence is unusual for a library, and neither answers the duration question — which makes it the question to put in writing before uploading a catalogue rather than a track.

The record
Source
Tribe of Noise’s own artist FAQ, its Terms of Use and its about page (tribeofnoise.com), all captured August 13, 2026.
What it costs
Nothing to upload. No membership fee, submission fee or upload charge appears in the captured FAQ or Terms of Use, and none is required to reach the licensing route. Captured August 13, 2026.
What it pays
The FAQ shows the arithmetic rather than a headline: “Take 15% off from 100% to secure bouncing credit cards and other unforeseen costs and split the other 85%. So 42,5% to you and 42,5% to us.” The share is contingent — it applies to licence fees actually collected on your music, with no advance, minimum or guaranteed placement stated anywhere.
The deadline
There isn’t one. Uploads are continuous, with no window, round or closing date published, so this listing runs in the rolling state rather than as a date.
Rights, plainly
Section 9.1: “A worldwide, nonexclusive, transferable license (with the right to sublicense)”, covering use, reproduction, distribution and derivative works. Section 12.4: “The licenses… you granted on an earlier date will remain valid” once the relationship ends. No term, duration or reversion date appears in the captured terms — which is what the heads-up above reports, and it is a gap in the document rather than an inference about it.
Two routes, one platform
Music can be uploaded to the community under a Creative Commons 4.0 BY-SA licence, or to the licensing catalogue under the platform’s Non-Exclusive Exploitation Contract. The 42.5% split described here belongs to the second route; a Creative Commons upload is a public licence to everyone and pays nothing.
Who is behind it
Tribe of Noise BV, Johan Huizingalaan 763a, 1066 VH Amsterdam, reachable at info@tribeofnoise.com. The Terms of Use are governed by Dutch law with disputes heard by a Dutch court. The company was founded in 2008 and states that over 34,000 artists from 194 countries are part of its community.

A non-exclusive license, limited to licensing your compositions and masters to media productions worldwide, for a three-year term that renews yearly unless either side gives 60 days’ notice; it reverts once the term ends — Section 2(1).
A heads-up: Section 7(2)(b) uses perpetual/irrevocable licensing language over the song, regardless of any separate ownership disclaimer — scope, duration and revocability decide, not the disclaimer.
A publicity-rights note: Section 2(4) grants Soundscape Media Inc. the right to use your name, likeness and photographs in connection with the rights it licenses — a publicity-rights grant, and a separate question from what happens to the song.
