Sponsor terms

What a listing includes

• Your tool’s name, one plain line on who it’s for (up to 15 words, which we may edit for accuracy), and one link to your official site.
• A visible “Sponsored” label on the listing itself.
• 30 consecutive days in the Featured listings section. Your listing goes live within 3 business days of approved details and comes down at the end of the run unless you renew.
• While our list is small, one mention in Tune Stack Notes, labeled “Sponsored · [Tool].” We don’t promise an audience size, open rates, clicks or a send date.

Price stages

• Launch rate: $49 for 30 days. This is the current price. It includes one newsletter mention labeled “Sponsored · [Tool].”
• Standard rate: $99 per 30-day listing, once Tune Stack has a real audience. We’ll announce changes on this page before they apply. We don’t promise dates for any stage.

How booking works

1. Write to raymond@lyvcreative.com with your tool’s name and website.
2. We review the tool against the rules below.
3. If it’s a fit, we send you a private payment link through Stripe. There’s no public checkout, and you pay only after we’ve said yes.

Labels and disclosure

• Every paid placement is labeled “Sponsored” right where it appears, not just in a footer.
• Paid links carry rel="sponsored".
• A tool we feature for free is labeled “Founding listing · no fee paid.”
• If a sponsor’s tool is also in our directory, its entry may note the sponsorship.

Editorial independence

• Sponsors don’t see, approve, edit or delay any review, guide chapter or newsletter note.
• A sponsorship doesn’t change ranking, order or inclusion in the directory.
• We may write critically about a sponsor, or about its competitors.

Who qualifies

• The tool must be real and publicly available, with a working official website and its own terms and privacy policy.
• It must be relevant to artists, managers, labels, publishers or sync teams.
• Pricing must be clear. If it says “free,” the free tier must exist.

We don’t accept:

• tools marketed as imitating a real, named artist’s voice or likeness without permission
• tools that encourage uploading music the user doesn’t have rights to
• misleading claims about royalties, rights or payouts

We can decline any request without giving a reason.

Removal, refunds and cancellation

• Cancelled before your run starts: full refund.
• We remove a live listing for a reason that isn’t your fault (for example, we close the section): pro-rated refund for the unused days.
• We remove a listing because the tool went offline, broke these rules or misled users: no refund for days already run.
• Included newsletter mention not sent within 60 days of payment: we refund it.
• Refunds go back to your original payment method through Stripe and usually take 5–10 business days.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
