You may not resell, redistribute, or claim ownership of the instrumental. You cannot register the beat's composition at any times. No defamatory or illegal content.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upgrade my license later?
Yes! Contact me with your order number and I'll apply your original purchase price toward the upgrade cost.
What happens if someone else buys the same beat?
With non-exclusive licenses, multiple artists can use the same beat. Each has their own license rights. Only exclusive purchases remove the beat from sale.
Do I need to register my song with a PRO?
Yes, I recommend registering with a Performing Rights Organization (ASCAP, BMI, etc.) to collect performance royalties. Include the producer information provided in your license.
Can I use the beat for client work or commercial projects?
Most license tiers allow commercial use including work for clients, advertisements, and for-profit projects. Check your specific license tier for details.
