Song Submission Terms & Conditions

By submitting a song for the Ultimate Dad Playlist, you agree to the following:

1. Clean and Family-Friendly:
   All songs must be appropriate for a general audience. That means no explicit language, inappropriate themes, or offensive content.
2. Keep it Classic (or Classic Cringe!):
   We're looking for those iconic dad tracks – think air guitar anthems, BBQ bangers, and the songs that scream “this is MY jam!” 
3. Spotify Availability:
   Your song must be available on Spotify. If it can’t be found, we may not be able to include it – sorry, cassette-only throwbacks!
4. One Hit Wonder Rule:
   Submissions are limited to 1 song per person to keep the playlist fresh and varied. Choose wisely!
5. WTA’s Final Say:
   The Weipa Town Authority reserves the right to exclude any songs that don’t fit the vibe, aren’t available, or just don’t pass the dad test. 
6. No Rights or Royalties:
   By submitting a song, you understand you’re not entitled to any rights, credits, or royalties – this is all about fun, not fame!
