Cancelling your ORB subscription does not remove your music immediately. What happens after your paid plan expires depends on whether each release has verified, assigned Track Coverage.

What Happens When You Cancel

When you cancel, auto-renewal is turned off. Your paid plan remains active until the end of the billing period you have already paid for, so you keep its features during that time.

The Track Coverage Advantage

Track Coverage is an optional, one-time paid add-on that protects a specifically covered release from removal solely because you stop renewing your subscription. Once payment is verified and coverage is assigned to the release, you do not need to keep renewing just to retain that covered music.

• Keep covered music live without ongoing subscription renewal: Already funded coverage remains valid even if you take a break for years or never renew again.
• Protect the releases you choose: Coverage is release-specific, so confirm which releases are covered rather than assuming your entire catalog is protected.
• Cover new or existing releases: Add coverage while preparing a release or purchase it later for an eligible existing release, without creating a duplicate upload.
• Pay once for coverage: There is no recurring coverage payment for an already funded, covered release.

Track Coverage is available to active Artist, Artist Plus, and Label & Team subscribers. It is not a standalone distribution plan and is not automatically included in your subscription.

Ordinary subscription credits, extra track credits, referral credits, and an unassigned balance are not Track Coverage. The release's required track count must be funded and coverage assigned to that release.

See the full Track Coverage guide for pricing, eligibility, and how coverage works. Arrange coverage while your paid plan is active and before any removal is completed.

What Happens After Your Paid Plan Expires

Paid-plan services such as stream counts, analytics, release tools, and catalog management are restricted when your subscription expires. Track Coverage does not keep those subscription features active.

Covered releases: Verified, assigned Track Coverage protects these releases from subscription-expiry removal. Subscription inactivity alone does not expire that protection.

Uncovered releases: These remain subject to removal once your paid plan has been inactive for 30 days. Where an existing catalog requires advance notice, removal eligibility is no earlier than the later of 30 days after expiry or 30 days after that notice. Separately purchased ordinary extra track credits do not exempt a release from this policy.

Renewing your plan or assigning verified coverage before removal can protect against a pending subscription-expiry takedown. Neither automatically restores a release whose removal has already been completed.

Can Covered Music Still Be Taken Down?

Yes, for reasons unrelated to subscription inactivity. Track Coverage does not override copyright or ownership claims, store policies, distribution requirements, fraudulent activity, legal orders, or a takedown you request.

It is not an unconditional guarantee that a release will remain on every streaming platform forever.

What About My Royalties?

Your music and royalties remain yours. Royalties already earned are not lost because you cancel a subscription. Covered music that remains live can continue generating royalties from genuine streams, but coverage does not guarantee streams or earnings.

Royalty reporting and withdrawals remain subject to store reports, verification, payment rules, and account restrictions. ORB takes 0% royalty commission on every plan.

Free-Plan Releases

Free-plan releases follow a separate 30-day window starting from the release's first approval, not its selected release date. Upgrade before that window ends to keep the release eligible for continued distribution. Track Coverage can be purchased only while an eligible paid plan is active.

Before You Stop Renewing

1. Check which releases have verified, assigned Track Coverage.
2. Arrange coverage for the releases you want to protect while your eligible paid plan is active.
3. Read any removal notices for uncovered releases.
4. Remember that coverage protects music from subscription-expiry removal, not access to paid-plan tools.

The Bottom Line

You do not need to keep renewing solely to retain music with verified, assigned Track Coverage. Uncovered releases remain subject to subscription-expiry removal, and all releases remain subject to rights, platform, and legal rules.
