TERMS OF SERVICE
LNK-Records
Last updated: 3 September 2026
1. General
These Terms of Service govern the use of the LNK-Records website, digital services, music releases, media, information, promotional material and other content made available through LNK-Records.
By accessing or using this website or its services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms of Service and agree to comply with them.
LNK-Records reserves the right to update these Terms of Service when necessary to reflect changes in our services, applicable legislation, technology or business operations. The most recent version published on this website shall apply from the date stated above.
2. LNK-Records and its content
LNK-Records provides and publishes music, artist-related information, visual material, promotional content, digital media and other creative or informational material.
Unless otherwise stated, content published by LNK-Records, including but not limited to music, recordings, artwork, photographs, graphics, logos, text, video, designs and other media, is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
No content may be copied, reproduced, distributed, modified, commercially exploited or otherwise reused without the appropriate rights, permission or legal basis.
3. Intellectual property and rights
All intellectual property rights relating to LNK-Records materials remain with their respective rights holders.
Where content is created or published on behalf of an artist, producer, label, partner or other rights holder, ownership and licensing may be governed by separate agreements.
The publication of content on the LNK-Records website does not automatically grant visitors or third parties a licence to reproduce, redistribute, modify, commercially exploit or claim ownership of that content.
Third-party trademarks, names, recordings, images or other protected material remain the property of their respective owners.
4. Artist and third-party content
LNK-Records may publish material supplied by artists, producers, photographers, designers, collaborators, partners or other third parties.
The party supplying such material is responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights, permissions and legal authority to provide the material for publication.
LNK-Records may request clarification, documentation or evidence of rights where this is reasonably necessary.
LNK-Records reserves the right to refuse, remove or restrict publication of material where there is a reasonable concern regarding copyright, intellectual property, impersonation, unlawful use or other legal compliance issues.
5. AI-generated and AI-assisted content
LNK-Records may use artificial intelligence and machine-learning technologies as part of creative, technical, editorial, production, design, development or administrative processes.
AI may be used, for example, as an assistive tool for brainstorming, editing, text processing, image processing, audio correction processing, production workflows, design development, metadata preparation or other creative and technical purposes.
The use of AI does not by itself determine ownership or copyright status. Rights in a particular work depend on the applicable law, the nature of the human contribution, the rights relating to the underlying material and any applicable contractual arrangements.
5.1 Transparency
LNK-Records aims to maintain transparency regarding material that has been materially generated or manipulated using AI.
Where applicable under European Union or national law, LNK-Records will provide an appropriate disclosure or label indicating that content has been artificially generated or manipulated.
This may include, depending on the nature and context of the material, visual labels, written disclosures, metadata, platform-specific disclosures or other technically appropriate methods.
### 5.2 AI-assisted content and website disclosure
LNK-Records uses modern digital software, online services and website platforms that may incorporate artificial intelligence and machine-learning functionality. This includes, among other things, writing, grammar and spelling tools, image and audio software, editing tools, translation services, website-building systems and other digital applications.
Because AI functionality is now integrated into many commonly used software applications and online platforms, it is not always technically possible to determine whether an individual element of a website has been processed with or without AI assistance.
LNK-Records therefore applies a simple and consistent transparency standard:
**All content published on the LNK-Records website is considered AI-assisted.**
This is a general website-wide disclosure and is intended to avoid the need for individual AI notices, labels or statements to be placed underneath or alongside every text, image, recording, design or other piece of content.
The designation **AI-assisted** does not mean that every item of content was generated by artificial intelligence. It means that AI-enabled software or services may have been involved somewhere in the wider creation, editing, processing, preparation or publication workflow.
Human authorship, artistic direction, musical contribution, editorial decisions and other human creative contributions remain distinct from the software and technology used in the production process.
### 5.3 EU transparency and legal compliance
LNK-Records complies with applicable European Union and national requirements concerning artificial intelligence and AI-generated or AI-manipulated content.
Where applicable law requires a specific disclosure or labelling method, LNK-Records will provide the legally required disclosure.
The website-wide **AI-assisted** designation is an additional transparency measure adopted by LNK-Records. It is not intended to suggest that EU law requires every individual item of content on this website to carry an AI label.
This approach allows LNK-Records to maintain a clear and consistent disclosure without unnecessarily placing repetitive AI notices throughout the website.
### 5.4 Meaning of the AI-assisted designation
For the purposes of this website, **AI-assisted** means that artificial intelligence may have been involved somewhere within the broader digital production or publication environment.
It does not constitute a statement that:
* the entire work was generated by AI;
* the work has no human author;
* the work has no human artistic or editorial contribution; or
* the content is necessarily subject to a mandatory AI label under applicable law.
The designation is used as a general transparency statement covering the LNK-Records website as a whole.
Visitors therefore do not need to determine individually whether a particular sentence, photograph, graphic, recording or other website element was created with or without AI assistance.
5.5 Compliance with applicable EU requirements
LNK-Records will comply with applicable European Union and national transparency requirements concerning artificial intelligence.
Article 50 of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act establishes transparency obligations for certain AI-generated and AI-manipulated content. The applicable requirements distinguish between different forms and uses of AI and do not establish a universal requirement that every item of digital content must carry an AI label.
LNK-Records nevertheless chooses to apply a broader internal transparency standard to its website.
Accordingly, the use of an AI-assisted designation on the LNK-Records website may exceed the minimum disclosure required by applicable law.
Where a specific legal disclosure or labelling requirement applies, LNK-Records will provide the disclosure required by applicable law in an appropriate form.
Where no specific legal disclosure is required, LNK-Records may nevertheless retain its broader AI-assisted website designation as a voluntary transparency measure.
Nothing in this section should be interpreted as claiming that European Union law requires every item of content on the LNK-Records website to be labelled as AI-generated.
The distinction between legal AI labelling requirements and the voluntary transparency standard adopted by LNK-Records is intentional.
6. User submissions
Where users, artists or other contributors submit material to LNK-Records, they remain responsible for the legality and rights status of the material they submit.
By submitting material, the submitting party confirms that they have the necessary rights or permissions to provide that material for the intended purpose.
The submitting party must not knowingly submit material that infringes the intellectual property, privacy, publicity or other legal rights of another person or organisation.
7. Removal of content
LNK-Records may remove, restrict or temporarily disable access to content where there is a reasonable basis to believe that the content:
* infringes intellectual property rights;
* violates applicable law;
* contains unlawful impersonation or deceptive material;
* violates these Terms of Service;
* creates a significant legal or security risk; or
* has been submitted without the necessary rights or permissions.
Where appropriate, LNK-Records may request additional information before deciding whether content can remain available.
8. External platforms and services
LNK-Records may use or link to third-party platforms and services, including music platforms, social-media platforms, hosting providers, payment providers, analytics services, AI services and other technical providers.
Those services may have their own terms, privacy policies, content policies and technical requirements.
LNK-Records is not responsible for the independent operation, availability, policies or decisions of third-party platforms.
9. Website availability
LNK-Records makes reasonable efforts to keep its website and services available and functioning correctly.
However, continuous availability cannot be guaranteed.
Temporary interruption may occur because of maintenance, technical problems, hosting issues, security measures, updates, third-party services or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of LNK-Records.
10. Accuracy of information
LNK-Records aims to provide accurate and up-to-date information.
However, information published on the website may occasionally contain errors, omissions or outdated information.
Information provided through the website should not automatically be regarded as professional legal, financial, medical, technical or other specialist advice.
Where a matter requires professional advice, the appropriate qualified professional should be consulted.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, LNK-Records shall not be liable for indirect or consequential loss resulting from the use of the website or its content.
Nothing in these Terms of Service excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms of Service affects mandatory consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
12. Privacy
The processing of personal data is governed separately by the LNK-Records Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Policy explains what personal data may be collected, why it may be processed, the applicable legal basis, how data may be protected and what rights individuals may have under applicable data-protection legislation.
The Privacy Policy forms a separate section and should be read together with these Terms of Service.
13. Disclaimer
Information concerning the website, music, artists, media, technology and other subjects is provided for general informational and creative purposes.
Specific limitations, risks and responsibilities relating to particular services or content may be explained in the separate LNK-Records Disclaimer.
Nothing in these Terms of Service is intended to constitute professional legal, financial, medical or other specialist advice.
14. Changes to these Terms
LNK-Records may amend these Terms of Service when reasonably necessary.
Changes may be made to reflect:
* changes in applicable legislation;
* changes in technology;
* changes to LNK-Records services;
* changes to third-party platforms;
* security requirements;
* operational changes; or
* clarification of existing provisions.
The updated version will be published on the website with its applicable revision date.
15. Governing law
These Terms of Service shall be interpreted in accordance with applicable law.
Where LNK-Records operates from or is established in the Netherlands, Dutch law may apply, subject to mandatory provisions of applicable European Union and consumer-protection law.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to remove or restrict rights that consumers are entitled to under mandatory applicable law.
16. Contact
Questions concerning these Terms of Service, rights, content, AI transparency or other matters relating to LNK-Records may be directed to the contact details published on the official LNK-Records website.
addendum
AI-assisted software and the LNK-Records transparency standard
LNK-Records recognises that modern digital production and publication increasingly depend on software containing artificial intelligence and machine-learning functionality. This includes, among other things, writing assistance, grammar and spelling correction, translation, image processing, audio processing, editing and other commonly used digital tools.
In practice, it is not always technically possible for a publisher to determine whether a particular function within commercially available software has relied upon artificial intelligence, particularly where AI functionality is integrated into an otherwise conventional editing or production tool.
LNK-Records also recognises that a spelling or grammar check should not be confused with substantive human editorial review. The European Commission's guidance expressly distinguishes superficial or procedural checks, such as spell-checking and grammatical correction, from substantive human review or editorial control.
For that reason, LNK-Records chooses to adopt a precautionary transparency standard.
Where there is reasonable uncertainty about whether AI has materially contributed to the creation, transformation or preparation of published content, LNK-Records may disclose the use of AI assistance rather than making an unsupported claim that the content is entirely human-produced.
This approach is intentionally more transparent than relying solely on the minimum circumstances in which a public AI label is legally mandatory.
An AI or AI-assisted designation on LNK-Records therefore does not necessarily mean that the entire work was generated by artificial intelligence. It may simply indicate that AI-enabled software formed part of the production, editing, preparation or publication workflow.
LNK-Records considers this approach appropriate in an environment where AI functionality is increasingly embedded in ordinary commercial software and where the technical distinction between conventional software assistance and AI-assisted functionality cannot always be independently verified by the publisher.
Where applicable law requires a specific disclosure, LNK-Records will comply with that requirement. Where the law does not require a label but the use of AI cannot reasonably be excluded or verified, LNK-Records may nevertheless apply its own broader transparency standard.
The purpose of this policy is transparency, not to diminish human authorship or artistic responsibility.
