Q:  How often will I receive an accounting statement and payment?

A:  We issue payments and statements once per quarter, within 45 days of the closing of the quarter.  For example, Quarter 1 closes on March 31.  We will issue your Quarter 1 statement and payment within 45 days of March 31.  If you have a balance of $10 USD or more, we will issue you a payment. If you have a balance less that $10, we will roll it over until it reaches $10.  

  • Quarter 1 - January through March

  • Quarter 2 - April through June

  • Quarter 3 - July through September

  • Quarter 4 - October through December

​

​

Q:  Does Unable Music Group keep a percentage of my sales and royalties?

A:  With our digital distribution services, you keep 100% of the net sales revenue we collect for you! In other words, we don't take a commission on your digital sales. With certain other services (physical distribution, some sync licensing, etc.) we do keep a small commission. If you have questions - just ask!

​

A:  Unable Music Group works with clients of all types, regardless of genre or popularity. We work with independent, unsigned bands and major label artists. We work with small indie labels but we also work with large multinational corporations. If you're involved in the music business - an artist, band, label, P.R. firm, management company, or anything else - Unable Music Group has services for you! Contact us today to see how we can help you!

​​​

Q:  How do I cancel my account with Unable?  

A:  For grandfathered accounts only: Log in to your Unable Music Group account, then select "My Subscriptions" from the login menu. From there you will see the option to cancel your account. You can also cancel your account from within your PayPal dashboard, if you paid with PayPal. If you need help with this, contact our customer service team.

​

Q:  What happens when I cancel my account? 

A:  We won't bill you anymore, and we will ask that our retail partners (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) remove your music from their stores. If any more royalties are collected for your music after your account has been cancelled, we will continue to pay those royalties out to you. Once we've issued take-downs for your music, you would be free to go to another distributor (not that you'd ever want to!).

​​
