NON-EXCLUSIVE BEAT LICENSE AGREEMENT

Producer: ZHakim
YouTube Channels: BlackGreenRedZ & ZHakim
Email: [email protected]

1. Grant of Rights

The Producer, ZHakim, grants the Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the specific beat(s) purchased by the Licensee (the “Beat”) in connection with the creation of musical recordings.

This Agreement grants the Licensee permission to use the Beat but does not transfer ownership or copyright of the Beat.

Each purchased Beat is licensed separately. Purchasing one Beat does not grant the Licensee rights to any other Beat in the Producer's catalog.

2. Permitted Uses

The Licensee may use the Beat for commercial and non-commercial purposes as part of a completed musical recording.

Permitted uses include, but are not limited to:

• Digital and physical sales of completed recordings

• Streaming

• Download services

• Live performances

• Radio and other broadcast uses

• YouTube and other video platforms

• Social media platforms

• Promotional use

The Licensee may commercially exploit a completed song incorporating the Beat, provided that the Licensee complies with all terms of this Agreement.

The Licensee may not sell, distribute, sublicense, transfer, or otherwise exploit the Beat as a standalone instrumental.

3. License Duration

This license is perpetual and does not expire unless terminated in accordance with this Agreement.

The license remains valid for the Licensee's use of the Beat as long as the Licensee complies with all terms of this Agreement.

4. Producer Credit

The Licensee must provide appropriate credit to the Producer in connection with the distribution and promotion of any completed recording using the Beat.

Credit should be included, where applicable, in:

• Song descriptions

• Streaming-platform metadata

• Digital distribution information

• Social media posts

• Video descriptions

• Video credits

• Promotional materials

Required Credit:

"Produced by ZHakim"

Where a platform does not provide a reasonable method for displaying producer credits, the Licensee is not required to create a separate credit solely for that platform.

5. Ownership of the Beat

The Producer retains 100% of the Producer's ownership and copyright interest in the original Beat, including the underlying instrumental composition and any applicable publishing rights owned by the Producer.

The Licensee is purchasing a license to use the Beat, not ownership of the Beat.

Nothing in this Agreement transfers the Producer's copyright ownership of the Beat to the Licensee.

The Licensee may not claim that they exclusively own the Beat or any portion of the Beat.

6. Songwriting, Publishing, and PRO Rights

This is a non-exclusive Beat license.

The Producer retains ownership of the Producer's original musical contribution contained in the Beat.

If the Licensee creates a new song using the Beat, the Licensee retains ownership of their original creative contributions, including original lyrics and any original vocal melody created by the Licensee, subject to the Producer's rights in the Beat.

Each party's songwriting and publishing interests in the resulting musical composition shall correspond to their respective original contributions, unless the parties agree otherwise in a separate written agreement.

For purposes of registration with a Performing Rights Organization (“PRO”):

• The Producer may register the Producer's applicable writer and publisher interests attributable to the Producer's contribution to the Beat.

• The Licensee may register the Licensee's applicable writer interest attributable to the Licensee's original lyrics and/or original vocal melody.

• The Licensee may not register or claim the Producer's instrumental contribution as their own.

• Neither party may knowingly register the other party's contribution as their own.

The parties may enter into a separate written agreement establishing different songwriting, publishing, or royalty splits.

7. Royalties

The Licensee may commercially exploit completed recordings incorporating the Beat.

Revenue and royalties associated with the master sound recording are separate from ownership of the underlying musical composition.

Each party remains entitled to royalties attributable to the rights and interests they actually own.

Mechanical, performance, synchronization, publishing, and other composition-related royalties shall be handled according to the applicable ownership and registration of the parties' respective contributions and applicable industry/platform rules.

No provision of this Agreement transfers ownership of the Producer's Beat or underlying composition to the Licensee.

8. Platform and Distribution Rights

The Licensee may distribute and monetize a completed musical recording incorporating the Beat through major digital streaming, download, video, and social-media platforms, including but not limited to:

• YouTube

• Spotify

• Apple Music

• Amazon Music

• TikTok

• Instagram

The Licensee may not:

• Upload or distribute the Beat as a standalone instrumental

• Upload the Beat to beat-selling websites as though they own it

• Resell the Beat

• Sublicense the Beat

• Re-license the Beat

• Claim exclusive ownership of the Beat

• Register the underlying Beat as exclusively owned by the Licensee

The Licensee's permission applies to a completed recording incorporating the Beat and does not create ownership of the underlying instrumental.

9. Content ID and Automated Rights Management

Because this is a non-exclusive license, other Licensees may also have valid licenses to use the same Beat.

The Licensee may not register the underlying Beat as an exclusively owned asset in YouTube Content ID or another automated rights-management system in a manner that claims ownership of the Beat or causes unauthorized copyright claims against other properly licensed users.

The Licensee may use the completed recording in accordance with this Agreement, but may not use automated rights-management systems to claim ownership of the underlying Beat itself.

10. Modifications

The Licensee may make reasonable modifications to the Beat for creative purposes, including editing, arranging, shortening, extending, looping, or otherwise adapting the Beat as necessary to create a completed recording.

The Licensee may not:

• Create and distribute a standalone modified instrumental

• Sell a modified version of the Beat

• Redistribute a modified version of the Beat

• Sublicense or re-license a modified version of the Beat

• Claim ownership of the modified Beat

• Use modifications to circumvent the restrictions of this Agreement

11. License Coverage

This Agreement applies to the specific non-exclusive Beat(s) purchased by the Licensee.

Each Beat purchased from the Producer is subject to this Agreement unless the Producer provides different written terms for that particular Beat.

The Licensee does not need to purchase the same Beat again in order to continue using it under this Agreement.

If the Producer changes the terms of the license in the future, the updated terms will not automatically alter rights already granted under a completed purchase unless otherwise permitted by applicable law or expressly agreed to by the Licensee.

12. Restrictions

The Licensee may not:

1. Resell the Beat.

2. Sublicense or re-license the Beat.

3. Transfer the license to another person or entity.

4. Claim exclusive ownership of the Beat.

5. Upload the Beat as a standalone instrumental to streaming or distribution platforms.

6. Upload the Beat to beat stores or music libraries for resale or licensing.

7. Distribute the Beat as a standalone product.

8. Claim authorship or ownership of the Producer's original contribution.

9. Use the Beat without providing the required Producer credit where reasonably possible.

10. Register the Producer's Beat or instrumental contribution as exclusively owned by the Licensee.

13. Termination

The Producer may terminate this license if the Licensee materially violates the terms of this Agreement.

Upon termination:

• The Licensee must cease all unauthorized use of the Beat.

• The Licensee must stop distributing the Beat or recordings using the Beat to the extent required by the termination.

• Rights granted under this Agreement shall terminate to the extent provided by applicable law.

• No refund will be provided for a termination resulting from the Licensee's violation of this Agreement.

Where a violation can reasonably be corrected, the Producer may provide the Licensee with written notice and an opportunity to correct the violation before terminating the license.

14. Refund and Exchange Policy

Refund requests must be submitted within five (5) days of the original purchase date.

Refunds will not be provided if the Beat has been:

• Downloaded or saved

• Posted or distributed online

• Used in a musical recording or other production

• Used for commercial purposes

• Used in any project

Exchange Option

Instead of receiving a refund, the Licensee may request an exchange for another Beat of equal or lesser value, provided that the original Beat has not been downloaded, posted, distributed, or used.

Requesting a Refund or Exchange

Requests must be sent to:

[email protected]

The request should include:

• Order or purchase information

• The Beat purchased

• The reason for the request

Refund and exchange requests will generally be processed within seven (7) business days.

15. Delivery

Purchased Beats will be delivered in high-quality WAV format.

Beats will generally be delivered within 24 hours of purchase.

Delivery times may be affected by technical problems, payment-processing issues, or circumstances outside the Producer's reasonable control.

16. No Transfer of Ownership

Purchasing a Beat does not constitute a sale or transfer of copyright ownership.

The Producer retains ownership of the original Beat and the rights that the Producer owns in the underlying composition.

The Licensee receives only the rights expressly granted under this Agreement.

17. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Producer shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or business-related damages arising from the Licensee's use of the Beat.

This may include, without limitation, loss of profits, loss of business opportunities, reputational damage, or disputes involving third parties, except where such liability cannot legally be excluded.

The Licensee is responsible for ensuring that their use of the completed recording complies with applicable laws, platform rules, and third-party rights.

18. Dispute Resolution

The parties agree to attempt to resolve disputes arising from this Agreement through good-faith communication before pursuing formal legal action.

If the dispute cannot be resolved through direct communication, the parties may pursue mediation or arbitration, where applicable and permitted by law, before pursuing litigation.

Any applicable arbitration, mediation, or governing-law requirements shall be determined under the applicable law and jurisdiction.

19. Entire Agreement

This Agreement represents the terms governing the Licensee's use of the Beat.

Any additional or conflicting terms must be agreed to by the Producer in writing.

Any modification to this Agreement must be made in writing and agreed to by the parties where required.

20. Acceptance of Terms

By purchasing, downloading, or otherwise obtaining a Beat from the Producer, the Licensee acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agreed to the terms of this Agreement.

No physical signature is required for acceptance where electronic acceptance or purchase constitutes a legally valid agreement.
