Draft for reviewVersion 2026-11-09-draft-2

The prices and primary stream limits reflect ZIMA's instructions. The supporting terms below are a proposal, not an active contract. An email enquiry, cart selection or preview playback grants no rights. The final agreement for the named beat must be completed and agreed before payment; an exclusive buyout also requires a signed assignment.

USD prices. Exclusive is a starting quote. File availability and delivery are confirmed for the selected beat before payment. FL Studio projects, plugins, sample-library ownership and separate third-party material are not included.

CLEARANCE STATUS

Splice samples and earlier sales.

Splice sounds remain non-exclusive. Beats may contain licensed Splice samples and loops. Other creators may use the same sounds. An exclusive assignment covers only producer-owned original contributions and recording rights; ownership of the underlying Splice sounds is not transferred. Their permitted use within the finished music remains subject to the applicable Splice licence.

Sample-by-sample licence records have not yet been reviewed. Before a buyout, identify the sounds, retain their certified licences and document any restrictions in the agreement's sample schedule. A subscription alone does not verify every sound used in a beat.

Sales history is not yet verified. No beat is represented as never licensed. Selecting Exclusive is an enquiry, not a reservation or a confirmed buyout offer. No buyout payment is accepted until rights and earlier sales have been checked and the buyer has agreed the final disclosures. Unresolved history must be disclosed as unknown, not described as an absence of earlier licences.

01 / SCOPE

Three licences. One buyout.

WAV, Trackout and Unlimited are non-exclusive. The producer keeps the rights in the original beat and may license it to other artists. The artist may record and commercially release a new song within the agreed allowance. Buying stems does not transfer ownership.

Unlimited means no numerical usage cap, not ownership. The proposed scope covers unlimited audio streams, video views, sales, radio stations and broadcasts, and paid or unpaid performances of the licensed song. It is not a subscription to the catalogue or permission to make an unlimited number of different songs from one licence.

Exclusive is proposed as a rights buyout. The final signed assignment transfers the producer's transferable interests in the identified beat composition and instrumental master. No further beat licences are issued after the transfer takes effect. Earlier licences and third-party material must be disclosed first.

02 / PROPOSED SUPPORTING TERMS

How the allowances work.

The following details are proposed additions. They are not fixed by the labels WAV or Trackout, and need confirmation in the order agreement.

One new song
Each non-exclusive licence covers one new song made using one selected beat, including clean, explicit, radio-edit and instrumental versions of that same song. A separate new song needs separate permission. Distribution platforms and service providers may handle the finished song only as needed for its authorised release.
Audio streams
WAV: 100,000. Trackout: 500,000. Unlimited: no cap. Count paid, ad-supported and free on-demand audio streams of the licensed song cumulatively across platforms, territories, versions and the full licence term. The limit does not reset monthly or separately for each platform.
Video views
Proposed WAV allowance: 100,000 aggregate views. Proposed Trackout allowance: 500,000. Proposed Unlimited allowance: no cap. Count monetised and non-monetised views of official music videos, visualisers, lyric videos and promotional uploads of the licensed song together. Video views are separate from the audio-stream allowance.
Copies and downloads
Proposed WAV allowance: 1,000 combined paid downloads or physical copies. Proposed Trackout allowance: 5,000. Proposed Unlimited allowance: no cap. A permanent paid download counts as a sale, not an audio stream.
Radio and live use
Proposed WAV and Trackout: broadcast of the licensed song on up to two named radio stations, with no play-count cap on those stations. Unlimited: no station or broadcast-count cap. Paid and unpaid live performances of the licensed song are proposed for all three tiers. This permission does not replace any licences or fees a broadcaster, venue or platform must obtain independently.
Territory and duration
Proposed non-exclusive grant: worldwide, for the remaining term of the producer-controlled rights, subject to the usage caps, the signed terms and mandatory law. No recurring renewal or additional term fee is implied. Rights begin only under the final agreement after the agreed payment is received.
Reaching a limit
Ask about an upgrade before a WAV or Trackout cap is exceeded. Upgrade availability and any credit for an earlier purchase require written confirmation; neither is automatic. An upgrade cannot be promised after an exclusive sale without the relevant rights holder's consent.

03 / OWNERSHIP

The beat and the finished song are different works.

A non-exclusive purchase does not assign the producer's original composition or instrumental recording. The artist keeps their own original lyrics, vocal recording and other original contributions, subject to the beat licence. Ownership, publishing administration and any royalty participation in the finished song must be stated in a transaction-specific split schedule.

No automatic 50/50 publishing split, producer point, royalty-free promise or collection-society transfer is imposed by this page. These items must be agreed before release. Proposed production credit: prod.by @zima in release credits and metadata where supported, without incorrectly listing the buyer as the original beat composer.

04 / EXCLUSIVE

What the assignment must say.

Subject to receipt of the full agreed purchase price and execution of the final agreement by both parties, the Producer assigns to the Buyer one hundred percent (100%) of the transferable economic rights owned and controlled by the Producer in the specifically identified Beat composition and instrumental master recording, worldwide, for the remaining term of those rights, including the transferable publishing interest in that composition. The assignment includes reproduction, adaptation, distribution, performance, broadcasting, communication and making available, and licensing or further assignment of the transferred rights to the extent permitted by the governing law. No contractual producer royalty or publishing share in the assigned interest is retained under this proposed buyout.

This is a draft clause, not a transfer executed by visiting this page. It does not transfer another contributor's share, a sample-library owner's rights, non-transferable moral rights, mandatory remuneration or rights that the applicable law does not permit to be assigned. Attribution and any legally required author protections remain governed by the applicable law and the completed agreement.

Earlier licences survive according to their original terms. The assignment must list them, the affected releases and any existing publisher, collecting-society or Content ID arrangements. If the buyer needs a beat that has never been licensed, that status must be checked and confirmed expressly before payment. A buyout does not cancel another artist's valid licence.

The producer stops offering new licences when the assignment becomes effective. The exact delisting and delivery deadline belongs in the completed order schedule, not an invented promise of instant transfer.

05 / RESTRICTIONS & SAMPLES

Keep other artists' releases clear.

Proposed non-exclusive restrictions: no resale, redistribution or sublicensing of the isolated beat or stems; no sample-pack repackaging; and no claim to exclusive ownership of the shared beat. The finished licensed song may be commercially distributed within its allowance. Standalone use in advertising, film, games or another third-party production requires a separately agreed sync scope.

Content ID: proposed non-exclusive licences do not permit enrolment of the shared beat or a song containing it in YouTube Content ID or another automatic claiming system. That restriction does not prohibit an otherwise authorised release or monetisation. Any producer-side claim must respect valid licences. For a buyout, claiming-system eligibility, transfers, exclusions and protection of earlier licensees are agreed separately; an exclusive purchase is not a guarantee of platform eligibility.

The producer must disclose collaborators, samples, interpolations and licensed loops, with their applicable permissions and restrictions, before taking payment. Third-party rights are not sold as producer-owned property. If a required clearance is missing, the parties must resolve it or select a different beat before the release. The artist remains responsible for material they add.

Trackout delivery: no raw or isolated Splice samples are included as transferable assets. Stems must not redistribute library sounds in isolation, even if processed. If a channel would expose a standalone library loop or one-shot, supply a permitted combined musical submix or omit that channel, and agree the resulting file list before payment. A certified licence supports evidence of permitted use; it does not establish exclusivity or guarantee Content ID eligibility.

06 / BEFORE PAYMENT

Complete the order agreement.

Seller location: Russian Federation. Governing law, dispute resolution and the seller's legal identity still need to be confirmed in the final agreement; residence alone does not choose the law for an international transaction. Before any sale, complete the parties' legal identities and addresses, exact beat and file version, rights-holder and collaborator schedules, sample licences, earlier licences, file list, effective date, payment amount, delivery deadline, publishing and royalty terms, and permitted uses.

Russian-law drafting note: where Russian law applies, an assignment of the producer's exclusive economic rights requires a written agreement identifying the rights transferred and the agreed remuneration or its method of calculation. Authorship and the author's right to a name are not transferred or waived. A transfer does not itself terminate earlier valid licences. These points are reflected in this draft, but the completed cross-border agreement still needs jurisdiction-specific legal review before signature.

Payment, cancellation, defect remedies, breach notices and any legally required consumer rights must also be completed for that transaction. This draft does not create an all-sales-final rule, an automatic takedown right, a penalty or a waiver of mandatory rights. Retain the agreed version with the order. Later website edits do not rewrite an existing agreement.

Why these terms are separate.

BeatStars lets each producer set their own terms. The examples below informed the proposed supporting terms; they are not contracts copied into this store.
