VLVO LABELS

Financial Policy & Artist Revenue Distribution

1. Purpose

Vlvo Labels is committed to maintaining a transparent, fair, and artist-focused financial structure. This policy outlines the distribution of artist profits, the label's revenue share, voluntary donations, and financial accountability.

2. Artist Profit Distribution

Vlvo Labels follows a 95/5 profit-sharing model. Under this proposed policy, the label receives 5% of each participating artist's eligible profit, while the artist retains 95%.

Profit Allocation:

  • Artist Share: 95% of eligible profit.
  • Vlvo Labels Share: 5% of eligible profit.

The label's 5% share is calculated from profit rather than gross revenue. Any expenses deducted before determining eligible profit must be disclosed and agreed upon in advance.

3. Revenue Distribution Examples

Eligible Artist Profit

Artist Receives (95%)

Label Receives (5%)

These examples illustrate the distribution of profit after applicable, previously agreed-upon expenses.

4. Donations & Financial Support

Vlvo Labels may accept voluntary donations to support its operations and participating artists. Donations may be allocated toward:

  • Music production and recording expenses
  • Artist marketing and promotional campaigns
  • Equipment and creative resources
  • Artist development and approved projects
  • Other disclosed label-related expenses

All donations are separate from the artist profit-sharing arrangement. Donations are voluntary, and artists are not required to contribute funds. The label's 5% share will not increase because of donations.

Vlvo Labels will maintain appropriate records of donations received and their intended use. Donations designated for a specific artist or project should be handled according to the stated purpose and applicable requirements.

5. Financial Reporting & Payments

Vlvo Labels aims to maintain accurate financial records and transparent payment practices. Where applicable, artists should receive a breakdown of:

  • Total revenue generated
  • Applicable expenses and deductions
  • Net profit eligible for distribution
  • The 5% label share
  • The 95% artist share
  • Payment amounts and dates

Financial calculations should be supported by appropriate records. Payment schedules and reporting procedures should be communicated clearly to participating artists.

6. Participation & Contract Terms

This policy does not establish a mandatory long-term contract. Participation in a revenue-sharing arrangement should be based on the artist's informed agreement to the applicable financial terms.

Any additional arrangements concerning ownership, royalties, licensing, distribution, expenses, or payment timing should be disclosed and agreed upon separately where necessary.

7. Financial Transparency

Vlvo Labels is committed to fair financial practices, clear communication, and responsible management of artist earnings. Any proposed changes to the revenue-sharing model should be communicated to affected artists before implementation.
