WAV Non-Exclusive Beat License Agreement
Published terms · Effective September 13, 2026. The agreement version accepted at checkout is saved with each order.
1. Parties, beat, and acceptance
This Non-Exclusive Beat License Agreement is between D-Money Beats (“Producer”) and the purchaser identified in the Stripe checkout receipt (“Licensee”). It covers only the beat title and catalog ID shown in the order. The effective date is the cleared-payment date. By checking the acceptance box and completing payment, Licensee electronically signs this Agreement and confirms authority to enter it.
2. License grant
After cleared payment, Producer grants Licensee a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to combine the beat with Licensee’s original lyrics and/or vocals in one new song (“New Song”). Licensee may reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, promote, and monetize the New Song within the term and limits below. Other artists may license the same beat. No copyright ownership is sold or transferred.
3. Files and limits
Delivery includes the WAV and MP3 masters plus this order-specific license; stems are not included. Term: five years. Limits: 50,000 monetized audio streams, 500,000 non-monetized streams, 5,000 paid downloads, one monetized music video, and live performances. Obtain a written upgrade before the term ends or any limit is exceeded.
4. Ownership and publishing
Producer retains all right, title, and interest in the beat, including its composition and original beat recording. Licensee owns Licensee’s original lyrics, vocals, and the New Song master, subject to Producer’s embedded rights and this license. Unless both parties sign a different split, the New Song composition is registered 50% to Producer’s writer/publisher side and 50% collectively to Licensee’s writer/publisher side. Each side administers and collects its own share. Producer receives no additional ownership of Licensee’s vocals and no master royalty under this lease unless separately agreed in writing.
5. Credit and registrations
Licensee must use “Prod. by D-Money Beats” in release metadata and wherever production credits are reasonably supported. Any copyright, performing-rights-organization, publishing-administration, or mechanical-rights registration must accurately identify Producer’s share. Licensee may not register the beat or New Song with YouTube Content ID, Meta Rights Manager, Audible Magic, or a similar automated claiming system without Producer’s prior written approval because non-exclusive claims can interfere with other lawful licensees.
6. Restrictions
Licensee may not sell, share, sublicense, upload, distribute, or make the raw beat available by itself; claim authorship or exclusive ownership of the beat; create a competing beat, sample pack, template, or stock-music product from it; use it in unlawful, defamatory, or infringing material; or use it for film, television, games, paid advertising, brand campaigns, or other standalone synchronization without written permission. A distributor may receive only the limited rights needed to distribute the New Song for Licensee.
7. Contributions and clearances
Each party promises it has authority to contribute and authorize its own material. Producer will disclose known third-party samples, collaborators, or material restrictions that materially affect the license. Licensee is responsible for clearing Licensee’s lyrics, vocals, artwork, videos, samples, and other additions. Neither party may knowingly cause the other to infringe a third party’s rights.
8. Later exclusive sale
A later exclusive sale does not cancel this valid lease. Licensee may continue using the New Song under the accepted term and limits, and Producer will disclose that prior non-exclusive licenses may remain in effect.
9. Breach, cure, and termination
For a material breach, the non-breaching party will give written notice and ten calendar days to cure when cure is reasonably possible. Producer may suspend delivery or terminate immediately for payment fraud, chargeback abuse, raw-beat redistribution, false ownership claims, or unauthorized automated rights claims. After termination, Licensee must stop new distribution and monetization and request removal of unauthorized claims; accrued payment obligations and ownership provisions survive.
10. Warranties, liability, and disputes
Except for the express promises above, the beat and files are provided as delivered, without a promise of commercial success or platform acceptance. To the fullest extent allowed by law, neither party is liable for indirect or consequential damages, and ordinary contract liability is limited to the license fee paid. This limit does not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, infringement indemnity, or rights that law does not permit the parties to limit. The parties will first attempt good-faith written resolution for 30 days. Delaware law governs, without regard to conflict rules, and unresolved claims may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in New Castle County, Delaware. Small-claims remedies remain available.
11. Entire agreement and contact
The order details, this Agreement, Store Terms, and Delivery & Refund Policy form the entire agreement for this purchase and replace prior discussions about this beat license. Changes or waivers must be in writing. If one provision is unenforceable, the remainder continues. Notices to Producer: contact@dmoneybeats.com. Licensee notices go to the email supplied at checkout.
