## Our Commitment |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
You can export everything, anytime, in standard formats. No fees, no delays, no degraded data. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
This is a core principle, not a feature. |

## What's Included |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
### Content |
| 12 |
- All uploaded files in original quality (ZIP export has a 2GB size cap per batch; export by project if your catalog is larger) |
| 13 |
- Cover art and images (when uploaded) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
### Metadata |
| 16 |
- Titles, descriptions, credits |

### Audience Data |

| 23 |
|
