Music Road Plugger AI Policy

Duplicate charges, technical failures, or other verified billing errors will be reviewed individually.

Music Road Plugger will contact the writer regarding the next step.

Any publishing, representation, administration, licensing, or participation arrangement must be covered by a separate written agreement.
