Terms & Conditions
Basic Leasing Rights
Also known as non-exclusive rights, purchasing a basic lease grants the customer (licensee) limited artistic and legislative rights to the corresponding beat(s) for one single profitable/commercial use on any medium (e.g. album, EP or mixtape) with a circulation of up to 2,000 sales units. If this point of sale is reached and further sales are desired, also further rights with a new sales cap need to be obtained. If the beat is no longer available for leasing (exclusive rights have been sold), no more sales can be made after the sales cap is reached. A basic lease comes as a mixed, untagged, high quality MP3 file, and a contract stating the rights of use. A beat can be leased to more than one person at the same time until exclusive rights to the beat are sold. Once a beat has been sold with exclusive rights, it will no longer be available for any kind of leasing, however, leasing rights to the beat that have already been obtained will remain valid until the sales cap has been reached or the term of the contract has ended. This license is valid for one (1) year from the execution of the agreement. The license will no longer be valid after one year of its purchase date, and must be renewed if the Licensee wishes to maintain these rights. The customer (licensee) is not allowed to get radio-, video-, or television-airplay, or to perform the song at commercial/profitable shows with a basic lease. The Licensee shall not edit the Instrumental in any way including but not limited to changing the arrangement, removing or altering melodies, instruments, drum and rhythm programming, or sounds that are contained within the Instrumental. The licensee understands that the licensor (seller) maintains 100% copyright and ownership of the original instrumental composition. Licensee (you) can not sell or license the rights to the Instrumental whether in whole or part to any other party. Licensee must give credit to the producer where possible in a written form. On all physical and digital media, production credit must be included, substantially in the form(s): (Prod. by D-Rock Beatz), (Prod. D-Rock Beatz). Buy Beats Now!
Exclusive Rights
Exclusive rights grants the customer full artistic and commercial rights to the beat. All rights included in leases are permitted with exclusive rights, but on an unlimited scale. You (customer) are given the right to unlimited sales and profitable shows, as well as radio-, video-, and television-airplay of your song created with the beat. An Exclusive Rights purchase comes as a mixed untagged WAV file, and separate unmixed stem files of the beat (tracked out). A contract for Exclusive Rights must be agreed upon and signed (virtually or physically) before it’s valid. Once a beat has been sold with exclusive rights, it will no longer be available for any kind of leasing/sale. The beat will be marked on the website as ‘sold’ and any possible download and/or licensing option will be removed. Exclusive rights pricing varies from beat to beat.
