Terms of Service

Last updated 21 October 2026

These terms apply when you request or buy a custom song, sound signature or sonic identity from SCORPIO BLACK, a brand of SCORPIO BLACK Studios, operated by Anurag Sahu (India) through scorpioblackmusic.com. You accept them by ticking the agreement box before paying. By ticking it you also confirm you are 18 or older.

1. Services

We offer five products: The Mark (a custom 3 to 5 second sound signature), The Anthem (a custom song about you), The Stage (a custom dance anthem for dancers and crews), The Era (a new version of an Anthem you own) and The Brand (a custom sonic identity for a business). Add-ons are your own voice or a duet (The Anthem, The Stage and The Era), Skip the line, and Add your Mark (The Anthem only). What each includes and costs is shown on the pricing section of the website at the time you pay.

• Every piece is made for you, built with licensed sounds plus original lyrics, vocals and arrangement. Its length is set by what the piece needs, not by a fixed duration.
• Every delivered piece is numbered and is not sold again or reused for anyone else.
• You must be 18 or older to book.
• The Era is available only to people who own an Anthem.

2. Booking and acceptance

• Work is made in limited drops. While slots are open, you book by paying the booking amount shown (the full price for The Mark) and sending your story with your booking reference.
• Paying sends your request. We contact you within 48 hours to discuss your piece, and your slot is confirmed only after we accept your project. We may decline any project. If we do, your booking fee is refunded in full within 7 working days.
• Your order is confirmed when we accept your booking. We then confirm your queue rank, sample date and delivery date. Your booking reference is your order code for tracking.
• When all slots are booked, you can join the waitlist without paying.

3. Prices and payment

• Prices are in Indian rupees.
• The booking fee and later payments are calculated automatically on the website from the song price.
• The Mark: 100% paid when you book.
• The Anthem, The Stage and The Brand: 25% booking fee, 50% after sample approval, 25% before the final file is delivered.
• The Era: 25% booking fee, then 75% after you approve the sample.
• Drop prices: the first slots in each drop are offered at the drop price shown on the website. Once those are claimed, the regular price shown applies. The price shown when you pay applies to your order.
• Your own recorded voice or a duet adds 50% to the price (The Anthem, The Stage and The Era). Skip the line adds 30%, only when a slot is free.
• The Brand is booked at 25% of the starting price shown. The final price is confirmed on a call after your brief; any difference is added to the later payments.
• Add your Mark: ₹1,888 for a 3-second signature cut from your Anthem, added to your Anthem's price. You can add it at booking or until 30 days after delivery.
• Upgrade credit: if you book The Anthem within 30 days of buying The Mark, the amount you paid for The Mark is credited against The Anthem.
• Referral discounts, when offered, apply only as stated when they are given.
• Paying the payment due after the sample means you approve the sample.
• Online payments are processed by Razorpay. We do not see or store your card or bank details.

3A. Scope of your order

Your order covers only what is listed on the pricing page for the product you paid for. Work, extras or uses that belong to a different product are not included.

• If you ask for something outside your product (for example paid advertising for a business, a performance mix or a dance edit), we will tell you. You can upgrade by paying the price difference before that work starts. We do not start extra work until it is paid.
• If you book one product while intending to get another product's work or rights (for example, booking The Anthem to use in paid advertising for a business), we may stop the project. Payments for completed stages are kept and the song is not delivered.
• Using a delivered song beyond the rights of the product you bought is not licensed. You can make it licensed by paying the difference to the right product. Until then, as the copyright owner, we may ask platforms to remove that use.

4. Sample, approval and revisions

• You receive a sample within 3 days of your turn in the queue. One change of direction on the sample is included.
• You get 2 rounds of lyric changes, then you approve the final lyrics before recording.
• After delivery: The Mark 1 revision, The Anthem 2, The Stage 2, The Era 1, and The Brand as agreed on the call.
• One revision is one round of combined notes, sent within 7 days of delivery. Revisions not used within 7 days end.
• Extra rounds are paid before the work starts: The Mark ₹488; The Anthem, The Stage or The Era ₹2,888 per round. A big change after you approve the lyrics or the final song (new lyrics, a new direction or a new concept) is ₹4,888.

5. Delivery

• Delivery means your finished song files, and your cover art where your product includes a release, sent privately to you. Release on streaming platforms is separate and comes after delivery (see section 5A).
• Your delivery date is confirmed when your slot is accepted. The maximum is 3 months.
• Files are delivered by email as a download link. Nothing is shipped. See the Shipping & Delivery Policy.
• The full-quality file is delivered only after full payment.
• Timelines depend on you sending your story, approvals and any voice recordings on time. Delays on your side move the delivery date.
• Inactive orders: if you don't reply, approve, send what we need or make a due payment within 30 days of our first reminder, and after at least 2 reminders by email or WhatsApp, we may close your order. Payments for completed stages are kept, nothing more is charged, and unpaid work is not delivered. You can reopen a closed order within 90 days by paying the amount due, subject to slot availability.

5A. Full Artist Release (streaming)

• The Anthem, The Stage and The Era include a Full Artist Release; The Brand includes it when agreed on the call. We release your song on streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, JioSaavn and Instagram, under your name or your crew's or brand's name.
• We submit your song within one working day of your approval of the delivered song and cover.
• Release Night: once the platforms approve the release, we agree a release date with you, at least 10 days later. We confirm the date only after approval. Your song goes live within 6–8 weeks of your approval of the delivered song and cover.
• Streaming platforms review every release and decide what they publish. If a platform asks for changes, we fix and resubmit, and the 6–8 week window restarts from resubmission.
• Each platform publishes on its own schedule, so the exact time a song appears can differ between platforms on the release date. Song titles may show in Hindi on some platforms and in English on others.
• If a release can't go live on streaming platforms, we offer another way to release it, such as on YouTube. Your delivered song stays yours in full.
• The streaming release date is not your delivery date.

5B. Cover art

• You may send a photo for your release cover. You confirm you own the photo or have the photographer's permission, and that everyone in it has agreed.
• You agree that your photo appears publicly as your song's cover on streaming platforms.
• We design covers with AI tools and Canva, around your photo. We never change your face beyond what you approve, and you approve the final cover with your song.
• If no photo arrives before recording, we use a SCORPIO BLACK cover.
• Platforms may reject covers that break their rules. If they do, we adjust and resubmit.

5C. Caller tunes

• With The Anthem, The Stage and The Era, and with The Brand when agreed, we submit your released song as a caller tune to Jio, Airtel, Vi and BSNL. It usually goes live 7–21 days after release.
• Each operator reviews and decides on its own. If an operator declines, we tell you and resubmit once with any changes it asks for. A declined caller tune does not affect your delivered song or your streaming release.
• You switch the caller tune on for your own number through your operator. Any charges for the caller tune service are set by your operator.

6. Your content and the purpose of the song

You confirm that the stories, names, photos and voice recordings you send are yours to share, or that you have permission from the people involved.

Every song is made to celebrate, honour or express someone. We do not make songs meant to harm anyone. You agree that your song, and the ideas and details you give us, are not intended to:

• insult, humiliate, threaten, harass or defame any person or group;
• promote hatred or violence on the basis of religion, caste, gender, race, region, disability or any other identity;
• reveal someone's private information, or name or describe a real person in a hurtful way without their consent;
• involve minors in any inappropriate way, or include sexual or obscene content;
• take a side in party politics, or break any law.

We may decline or stop any project that we reasonably believe breaks this section, at any stage. If we decline before accepting your project, the booking fee is refunded in full. If we stop a project after accepting it because this section was broken, payments for completed stages are kept and the song is not delivered. You are responsible for how you use the song after delivery.

7. Rights and use of the song

• The Mark, The Anthem and The Era: you may use it personally and in your own content, including monetised Reels, videos, intros and brand content you post yourself. It is not licensed for a business's paid advertising. The Anthem and The Era are released under your name on streaming platforms as described on the pricing page.
• The Stage: you and your crew may perform it live and use it in your own content. It is released under your crew's name as described on the pricing page. The practice versions and the 8-count intro are for rehearsal and performance only and are not to be released or distributed. Stems are not included: every song is built with licensed sounds that can't be supplied on their own.
• The Brand: commercial use under a written licence agreed before work starts. Your own social media and website are included. Paid digital ads add 50% to the price. TV, OTT and outdoor use is quoted. The licence states where the song can be used, for how long, and whether it is exclusive.
• SCORPIO BLACK keeps the copyright in the music and lyrics unless we agree otherwise in writing.
• We use your song in our portfolio or social media only with your permission.
• Your song opens with the short SCORPIO BLACK sonic tag, a few seconds long. Songs made for The Brand do not carry the tag unless you ask for it.
• Your song may not be used in sexually explicit content. If it is, your right to use the song ends and we may ask platforms to remove that content.

8. Cancellations and refunds

See the Refund Policy.

9. Liability

We make every song with care. Our total liability for any order is limited to the amount you paid for that order.

10. Changes and governing law

We may update these terms; the version shown when you pay applies to your order. These terms are governed by the laws of India.
