Additional Submission Terms and Conditions

1. Transparency & On-Air Disclosure

By purchasing the £25 Paid Promo, the artist acknowledges and agrees that the broadcast of their track will be explicitly identified on-air as a 'Sponsored Feature', 'Paid Promotion', or similar terminology, in strict compliance with UK broadcasting regulations regarding transparency and sponsored content.

2. Editorial Independence & Scheduling

Shimitu Radio retains full editorial control over the scheduling and placement of the Paid Promo. While the promo guarantees airplay, the specific broadcast times are at the sole discretion of the station. Furthermore, purchasing a promo does not influence or guarantee placement on Shimitu Radio’s organic editorial playlists or internal station charts.

3. Content Restrictions & Right of Refusal

All tracks submitted for Paid Promos are subject to Shimitu Radio’s standard content restrictions. We reserve the right to reject or edit any submission that violates UK broadcast standards (including explicit, offensive, or defamatory content). If a paid track is rejected for violating these terms, a full refund will be issued.
