TERMS OF SERVICE
Effective Date: August 29, 2026
Last Updated: October 18, 2026
Welcome to the official Outmerit Records website (“Website”). By accessing or browsing this Website, you agree to the following Terms of Service.
1. Website Purpose
This Website is an informational, promotional, and creative website for Outmerit Records, an independent creative record-label project.
Outmerit Records was created and is operated as an independent creative project by Gio Celenza and is managed and supported by Gio Celenza MGMT.
Outmerit Records is not presented through this Website as a corporation, registered company, incorporated business, or formally established record-label corporation.
The Website uses Cloudflare for hosting, domain and DNS services, content delivery, and related security and reliability features. Other associated websites may continue to use Google Sites or other providers. A change in hosting does not, by itself, transfer ownership of music, artwork, or other creative works.
2. Outmerit Records and Gio Celenza MGMT
Gio Celenza MGMT may provide management, administrative, organizational, or other support to Outmerit Records.
The involvement of Gio Celenza MGMT does not necessarily mean that Gio Celenza MGMT owns Outmerit Records, its name, music, artwork, graphics, or other creative works.
Ownership and applicable rights in individual creative works remain with their respective creators or rights holders unless otherwise agreed.
Nothing on this Website should be interpreted as creating a formal corporate, employment, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship merely because Outmerit Records is managed or supported by Gio Celenza MGMT.
3. Website Content
The Website may contain:
- Music;
- Album, EP, and single information;
- Music videos;
- Official audio;
- Lyric videos;
- Photographs;
- Artwork and graphics;
- Artist information;
- Written content;
- Social media links;
- YouTube and SoundCloud content; and
- Other creative or promotional materials.
Content may be added, changed, relocated, or removed at any time.
4. Ownership and Rights
Outmerit Records does not necessarily own every piece of content displayed on the Website.
Music, artwork, photographs, videos, graphics, names, logos, and other creative works may belong to individual artists, creators, producers, collaborators, or other rights holders.
Visitors should not assume that content displayed on the Website is owned by Outmerit Records unless ownership is specifically indicated.
Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership or intellectual-property rights from one person or entity to another.
5. Music Distribution & Royalties
Music released through Gio Celenza MGMT, its affiliated labels, or associated projects may be distributed to digital streaming services, download stores, and other music platforms through third-party music distributors, including RouteNote.
RouteNote may facilitate the delivery of releases to participating digital music services and may provide royalty collection, reporting, and related distribution services in accordance with its applicable agreements and policies.
The specific platforms on which a release becomes available may vary depending on the distribution service, release eligibility, territory, platform requirements, and other applicable factors.
Royalties generated through distributed music are subject to the applicable distribution agreement, platform fees or commissions, taxes, adjustments, and other applicable deductions. Artists and rights holders should review the applicable RouteNote terms and agreements for the specific financial terms governing their release.
Use of a third-party distributor does not, by itself, transfer ownership of the underlying copyright in music to Gio Celenza MGMT, RouteNote, or a digital music service. Ownership and other rights remain with the applicable rights holder unless otherwise established by a separate written agreement.
6. Use of Website Content
Visitors may view and access the Website and its content for personal, informational, and non-commercial purposes.
Unless permission has been provided by the applicable rights holder, visitors should not:

- Modify or edit creative works and present them as their own;
- Use Website content commercially without appropriate permission;
- Remove applicable credits or ownership information; or
- Represent another person's creative work as their own.
Certain content may be intentionally made available for sharing through third-party platforms. Sharing content through the platform's normal sharing features is permitted where allowed by that platform.
7. Music and Third-Party Platforms
Outmerit Records may use third-party platforms such as YouTube and SoundCloud to distribute, display, or promote music and other creative content.

Your use of those platforms is subject to their respective terms and policies.
