BEAT LICENSE
TERMS.
This page displays the licensing framework developed for Soul Chemist®. The full agreement, rights schedules, prices and file delivery are not yet activated. Reviewing this page does not grant a license or authorize commercial use.
Four license formats
01 — Free MP3
Non-exclusive MP3 access under the finalized written license. Any commercial permissions must be explicitly stated in the executed agreement. Preview access alone gives no commercial rights.
02 — Basic WAV
Non-exclusive stereo WAV license for stated permitted uses, usage limits and agreed terms, subject to any required clearances.
03 — Premium WAV + Stems
Non-exclusive WAV and separated tracks, subject to the same written restrictions and any separately specified permitted uses.
04 — Exclusive
Individual written negotiation, review of existing licenses, ownership schedule and required clearance before any exclusive rights can take effect.
Third-party samples and clearance
Existing Soul Chemist exclusive agreement draft, Section 5. This substance is intended to appear in all tier agreements, including beats for which no samples have been identified.
The Beat may contain portions of preexisting recordings, compositions, or other third-party material. Known third-party material is listed in Schedule A. Producer grants no rights in material Producer does not own or control and does not represent that any uncleared sample has been cleared. The parties will identify in Schedule A which party is responsible for seeking each required permission and bearing its cost. Regardless of that allocation, Artist must not commercially release, distribute, monetize, or synchronize a New Recording containing uncleared material until all required permissions are obtained and documented.
If clearance cannot be obtained, the parties must agree in writing on a cleared replacement, revised terms, or cancellation before payment/delivery; otherwise neither party is required to proceed. Allocating clearance tasks to Artist does not prevent a third-party rights holder from making claims against Producer.
Ownership and permitted use
Soul Chemist® retains the rights to the Producer's contributions unless an executed agreement expressly states otherwise. No license transfers ownership of a third party's rights, allows resale of a standalone instrumental, or authorizes uses outside its stated scope.
For exclusive licenses, previously granted lawful non-exclusive licenses may remain effective; exclusivity applies prospectively. Publishing splits, master royalties, and any synchronization permission must be established in the relevant signed schedule, rather than assumed.
Agreement and delivery requirements
Before any free or paid delivery is activated, the workflow will capture the artist's legal name and email, identify the beat and tier, record acceptance of the applicable versioned terms, and enforce clearance and payment conditions. For exclusive transactions, the finalized signed agreement and individualized schedules are required.
