Beat Licenses

Terms & Conditions

 

(1) FREE DOWNLOADS – Free downloads of any beat produced by ‘Allrounda (Nicolas Scholtes)’ do not include any artistic, commercial, profitable or legislative rights to the beat. Those versions are only for non-profitable use, meaning only for demonstrational tracks. You are allowed to upload tracks (recorded over free downloaded beats) on internet pages like Reverbnation, Soundcloud, Facebook, Soundclick or Youtube, etc. When being uploaded or presented (for demonstrational use only!), credit always has to be given in a written form to ‘Allrounda’ (example: Beat by Allrounda – allroundabeats.com) (e.g. in the song description or song title). You are allowed to put the track on a free mixtape if it is for promotional use only and strictly for non-profitable purpose. If you want to put your song on an album, or manufacture physical copies, or sell your music in any form, you need to purchase at least a standard leasing license or higher license which is appropriate for your needs. The meaning of free downloads is to create a song for yourself, to make first pre-recordings and to see if the song works out well and is worth to make investments in one of the license types. It is not allowed to make any kind of profit with free download versions. No DVD-, no CD-, no TV-, no radio-streams or airplay allowed! No monetization of videos or any form of audio allowed. No streaming on platforms such as ‘Spotify’, ‘Apple Music’, ‘Deezer’, etc. allowed! Furthermore it is not allowed to make any changes to the beat or remove any of the used tags or blend out parts of the beat (beat-drops). Copying, distributing, uploading or ripping any audio material (e.g. beat, tag, sounds, instruments, drums, etc.) in any form other than allowed in this agreement is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated at any time! Downloading a tagged beat does not reserve rights to the beat for any form of future licensing. The person disobeying these rules will likely face a law suit for copyright infringement.

(2) LEASING RIGHTS (Standard Lease) (if applicable) – Also known as non-exclusive rights, purchasing a leasing license grants the customer limited artistic, commercial and legislative rights to the corresponding beat(s) for one single profitable/commercial use (e.g. album, EP, single or mix-tape) on any physical or digital medium such as CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, LPs, Cassettes, USB-Sticks or digital sales (e.g. itunes, google-play, amazon etc.) with a circulation of up to 5,000 sales units, all royalty-free. Furthermore, licensee is allowed to put his song on profitable streaming platforms and websites such as ‘Spotify’, ‘Apple Music’, ‘Deezer’ etc. with a total limitation of 50,000 profitable streams. If this point of sale is reached and/or further sales are desired, further rights with a new sales cap need to be obtained with a new license or license upgrade (if the beat has not yet been sold with exclusive rights and is still available). If the beat is no longer available and offered for any form of licensing and/or marked as sold, license owners of any type of non-exclusive rights may upgrade their current license to the highest available non-exclusive license such as an unlimited lease, etc. If exclusive rights are no longer available, this does not affect license owners from being allowed to upgrade their non-exclusive license(s) to the highest form of non-exclusive license(s). Once Licensee has reached the allowed number of sales and any other limits concerning his license agreement, no more sales can be made after the sales cap is reached. Licensee expressly agrees to remove his song from any marketplaces, stores, etc. to avoid the song from being sold or monetized continuously. A leasing license (non-exclusive) comes as a mixed, tag-free WAV-file, MP3-file and a contract/invoice, stating the rights of use and details of purchase. A beat can be leased to more than one person at the same time until exclusive rights are sold to the beat. Once a beat has been sold with exclusive rights, it will no longer be available for any kind of leasing and licensing, except for upgrading previously sold non-exclusive licenses to a higher non-exclusive license. Previous leasing/non-exclusive rights that have been sold before the beat is sold exclusively are not affected and stay valid until the applicable sales cap has been reached. Leasing a beat does not make the licensee the sole owner of the beat, nor does it give the licensee any administrative rights to the beat concerning legal actions against other license owners or anyone using any of the compositions offered by Allrounda Productions (Allrounda, Allrounda Beats, Heat Up Beats). The licensee is not allowed to get profitable radio-, video- or television-airplay or to perform the song on commercial/profitable shows with a leasing rights license. For this purpose licensee must own a higher license (see restrictions in sections 3-13). The licensor expressly forbids re-sale or any other distribution of the producer’s compositions, either as they exist or any modification thereof. You (the licensee) cannot sell, loan, rent, lease, assign, remix, re-arrange, remove any melodies, instruments, drum programming or transfer all or any of the products sold or the corresponding rights to another person or third party (example – Record Label, another production company, another producer, another artist), or for use in any competitive product. This excludes companies the licensee holds at least 50% of ownership.

With respect to the publishing rights and ownership of the underlying composition embodied in the Master, the Licensee and Licensor hereby acknowledge and agree that the underlying composition shall be owned/split between them as follows:

– Licensee (Customer) owns 50% of publishing rights.
– Licensor (Allrounda) owns 50% of publishing rights.

Licensee is allowed to earn up to $2,000.00 USD in total through public performances such as live shows or monetized videos. Licensee may split earnings for both types of public performances.

If customer/licensee does not keep up with his payment rates, dates, or any other duties related to the transaction, etc., Allrounda (Nicolas Scholtes) has the right to use the custom beat as product/beat-composition for public licensing, in any form, or for own projects, at his sole discretion. Customer/licensee will then keep a premium lease to the concerned beat(s) or lower/higher non-exclusive license, in case the payment(s) he made already, cover at least the amount necessary for this type of license! Furthermore, Allrounda (Nicolas Scholtes), will always have the exclusive and unlimited right to cancel the ‘custom beat production’ or ‘remix production’ at any time, by sending customer/licensee a refund of the amount customer/licensee has paid for the beat.

All hooks come royalty free as Allrounda (Nicolas Scholtes) owns full commercial/profitable rights to them. Furthermore artists, performing hooks over Allrounda’s beats, have agreed upon waiving rights to claim royalties or further compensation. Beats with hooks being displayed as ‘instrumentals wth hooks’ are treated just like all other beat-compositions in regards of licensing and registrations in the terms & conditions.

A verbal or written separate individual agreement therefore is necessary. Payment plans can vary from 2-6 payment steps, at least ¼ of the total price of the service(s)/product(s) needs to be paid upfront as a down-payment. If the customer does not fulfil his payment-plan obligations and does not complete the payment plan or keep up with the agreed payment rates and dates, there will be no refund of any payments made, due to the administrative work and possible financial losses. The beat will become available again for sale and the customer will keep a premium lease to the concerned beat(s), in case the payment(s) he made, cover at least the amount necessary for this type of license! Beats that are being paid with payment plans will be put and marked ‘on hold’ on our website(s) and maketplaces, and may no longer be sold with exclusive rights, but may still be leased to multiple customers at the same time until the last payment step of the payment plan has been completed and the total amount of all items/services/products has been paid off. In case of a money-refund by any of the parties, the issued contract becomes invalid. Payments that are in any form held, refunded, cancelled or incorrect, by any of the parties, result that the issued contract(s)/license agreement(s) and all of the granted rights therein become invalid and reversed.

(9) PUBLIC PERFORMANCES (Shows/Videos/Streams/Radio-and TV-airplay) – Public performances are ‘live shows’, ‘live video streams’, ‘videos’, ‘audio streams’, ‘radio airplay’, tv airplay’ and ‘film music’ either as just music (standalone) or music in a movie, tv- or video-commercial, spot, etc. Non-profitable live performances or public performances (non profitable live shows, non profitable video streams, non-profitable audio streams) are allowed for any license type, without limitation in amount of performances or number of streams/plays or views. Profitable performances are allowed for all license types but including different rules, see appropriate/specific license description and terms. The only license allowing unlimited public performances of any kind, is unlimited leasing rights and/or exclusive rights.

Royalties/profits through synchronisation shall be split and shared as follows:

! Exclusive Rights however include a 100% royalty-free sync license where Licensee keeps 100% royalties/profits !

(11) YOUTUBE VIDEOS (Content ID) – Licensor maintains the unlimited, worldwide rights to register his beat-compositions with a content-ID program/partner such as EXMGE, AdRev, etc. (if you have questions about content ID on Youtube etc., please google ‘Content ID’) and be the sole administrator of youtube rights using such a content ID program. This is necessary and entitles licensor to maintain the administrative and legislative rights to the beat-composition, in order to be able to ensure non-exclusive and exclusive license owners administrative guidance and license-warranties. The main purpose is to stop people from stealing beats and using/monetizing them in videos without owning a license. What EXMGE or AdRev does is scan youtube videos for audio material produced by Allrounda (Nicolas Scholtes) and automatically send a copyright claim, which blocks your videos from monetization temporarily. Don’t worry! This claim is more a notification and will NOT harm your channel or video, nor does it force you to take down the video(s), the only thing it does, is disable the monetization option temporarily. Your video will keep playing without any other limitations. Anyone using free downloads and tagged demo downloads in videos on youtube can ignore this copyright notification as it doesn’t stop your video from playing and monetization wouldn’t be allowed for non-licensed beats at all (if monetization is desired, you can purchase a premium leasing rights license or higher if beat is still available). IMPORTANT! – All license owners need to send us their link(s) to their video(s) and details of purchase so we can forward their video(s) to our youtube network and remove the copyright claim or give you instructions and a code to dispute the claim – please send details/links to: info@allrounda.com including your full name, link to video(s) and/or email address used for purchase. This is the exact message you might receive: Due to a copyright claim, you are no longer monetizing the following YouTube video. It is still playable on YouTube, but the copyright owner could choose to show ads on it. It may therefore be possible that you receive a copyright claim on youtube videos, even if you own a license. As listed above, please follow the instructions written in bold! Using a content ID program is the only way we can assure that only people with an appropriate beat-license are monetizing their videos rightfully and legally on youtube. It also helps protect your videos from receiving fraudulent claims by third parties that claim to own the administrative rights to the beats. If you have any questions concerning this issue, feel free to contact us anytime via email and we will respond in 24 business hours.

(12) DELIVERY – Products, files and documents are delivered electronically via an automatic system if purchased via our instant delivery store, and also manually within a delivery time frame of 24 business hours if purchased any other way. All products, files and documents are delivered electronically via e-mail as download links, hosted through a file-sending service such as dropbox.com or sendspace.com. License agreement(s) are sent as attached pdf-file(s). No tangible/physical copies will be delivered via postal mail for non-exclusive rights licenses, upon request, we send tangible/physical copies in form of a printed license-agreement/receipt and a CD/DVD containing the files to the product(s) via postal mail, in case it’s an exclusive rights purchase or custom beat production.

For any section listed in this written agreement, any restrictions thereof and the general legal relationship, German Law is applicable in any case. If a beat contains sampled material, the sample-clearing of itself needs to be done by the customer(s)/licensee(s), never by Allrounda (Nicolas Scholtes). The customer(s)/licensee(s) understand(s) that they are responsible for clearing all samples that they choose to use and that the licensor cannot and will not be held liable for the misuse of any sampled material that the licensee uses in conjunction with the original instrumental composition that is being licensed in this agreement. The licensee(s) understand(s) and accept(s) that he/they only paid for the production work of the producer. The licensor does not claim to have/own any rights on any sampled material. Under no circumstances is a customer/licensee allowed to re-sell the beat itself or any modifications thereof, nor transfer the rights to the beat composition in any form to a third party, except for what is listed in the applicable license descriptions (specifically sections 2-7 and all other restrictions). Rights that are given to a customer are not transferable and non-refundable, if a customer/licensee features another or other artist(s), not listed as license holders in his license agreement by date of purchase, the issued rights to the beat-composition for use in licensee’s/customer’s song(s), featuring the concerned artist(s), are non-transferrable to other’s and non-splittable, for any kind of non-exclusive license(s) and remain bound strictly and solely to customer/licensee. Exclusive Rights license owners may split rights, transfer rights or share rights to the beat-composition in use of their song(s), by setting up an individual written agreement which needs licensor’s approval at his sole discretion in signed form. If any additional license agreement(s), new license agreement(s), or changes to (a) current license agreement(s), or any concerned additions/adjustments, etc. are desired, license agreement(s) or contract(s) must include these terms and conditions and refer to the sections/content, listed in these terms and conditions in order to blend in with all required and necessary information/registrations for any license type, warranties, and general terms and conditions. All orders are final and cannot be changed/altered/adjusted/refunded afterwards, without licensor’s approval. No matter if exclusive rights or any other licenses are sold to a beat, Allrounda (Nicolas Scholtes) will always be allowed to use that beat for own promotional uses, without limitation, worldwide and throughout the universe, without terminability. Therefore all beats sold exclusively may stay on the webpage or any websites and marketplaces they were offered, if licensor decides to. Download and license/purchase options to exclusively sold beats (exclusive rights) will be removed and the beat will be marked as ‘sold’ and become unavailable for any form of future licensing, except for non-exclusive license upgrading as defined in section (2) – section (5) for active non-exclusive license owners. Customer(s)/Licensee(s) may edit/alter the length of a beat, mixing/mastering of a beat (use of effects, change of volumes/levels, etc.), and general modifications, such as structure of instrumentation (seperate tracklines), as they see fit, as long as they own a license to the beat and do not change the sound-structure of the beat itself, so that the beat becomes unrecognizable (e.g. only using drums or only using less than 70% of the entire sounds/instruments included in the original beat composition). It is also not allowed to use any parts, melodies, instruments, sounds, drum arrangements, etc. of the original instrumental composition for use in other compositions in a competitive product (for example: remixes or sampled music/beats) without written consent and licensor’s approval. Remixes using any material of the original beat composition, or musical versions covering the original beat composition, played with live instruments (orchestra, band, etc.) are only allowed for unlimited leasing rights license owners (non-profitable use or profitable use as defined in their public performance rights specifications) or for exclusive rights license owners (unlimited profitable use), in both cases only with written consent or a verbal agreement and licensor’s approval via e-mail. After the delivery of the beat, Allrounda (Nicolas Scholtes) will be unbound of any further responsibilities and legal obligations to the customer(s)/licensee(s), and legally freed of any further duties. Musical Composition(s)/Beat(s) by Allrounda (Nicolas Scholtes) may NOT be uploaded on any website, marketplace or distributed in any form without his permission and written consent. Allrounda (Nicolas Scholtes) is not responsible for any other website(s), marketplace(s), companie(s) or person(s) claiming to sell his beats and owning rights to them, nor is Allrounda (Nicolas Scholtes) legally responsible, nor liable/amenable for any damage, harm, financial losses or legal issues, caused by anybody abusing, disregarding or disrespecting the listed terms and conditions. Anyone found to be abusing and violating these terms and conditions or any other legal aspect concerning Allrounda’s (Nicolas Scholtes’) music, content, or physical and/or intellectual property, will likely face a law suit and criminal punishment and be held responsible for copyright infringement.

(14) DRUM KITS / SOUNDS – All products sold as ‚drum-kits’, ‚drum-packs’, ‚drum-sounds’, ‚one-shots’, ‚sounds’, ‚sound–packs’, ‚libraries’, ‚expansions’, ‚plug-ins’ etc. on our page are royalty free. This means that you buy the non-exclusive rights to use them freely in any sound/audio and/or audiovisual production without additional compensation to Allrounda (Nicolas Scholtes). You may not distribute, sell, assign, license or otherwise transfer any of the sounds or kits except as incorporated in a production. You may not distribute the sounds or loops without the production of music and/or vocal production added or provide instruction as to how to extract the sounds or loops from a production. There will be no refunds for drum-kits in case you don’t like the sounds. All drum samples have been professionally processed and we always deliver high quality products. The demo sounds in the small sample package can be downloaded for free to check the quality and format of the files and can be used for any production purpose on any medium. You may not re-sell or distribute the free sample-drum-sounds in any form on any website. You may not distribute the sounds or loops, either in native format or reformatted, filtered, re-synthesized or otherwise edited for use as sounds, multi-sounds, samples, loops, multi-samples in a sampler, sample playback unit, web site, computer or other media.

(15) MIXING & MASTERING SERVICE – Services provided and offered as ‘Mixing’ and/or ‘Mastering’ are paid upfront in total before orders are executed. Delivery time for mixed and mastered beats is approximately 1-3 days per order and delivery time for mixed and mastered songs is approximately 4-7 days. These time frames may vary due to number of orders, size of projects and/or unqualified files sent by customer. Customer is responsible for keeping up with the guidelines of preparing the needed audio-files before orders are executed. Customer needs to make sure his audio-files fulfil the requirements in order to allow Allrounda Productions (audio-engineer) to deliver quality work. If audio-files have any errors, either in file-system, format, wrong alignment, or audible error such as crackles, distortion, clipping, time-shift errors, wrong tempo, etc., Allrounda Productions (audio-engineer) may cancel orders at any time by sending customer a full-refund. If customer fails to send appropriate qualified files, Allrounda Productions (audio-engineer) cannot guarantee high quality outcome of the provided service. Customer acknowledges that there will be no refunds on executed orders, due to the service being subject to digital goods, no matter if orders have been started or completed fully. Customer understands that a standard order (without $20.00 USD upgrade to ‘Premium’) entitles him to get 2 revisions of the finished beat or song if he wants Allrounda Productions (audio-engineer) to change things in the mix/master. Standard orders such as displayed on the website cover all basic aspects or mixing and mastering work, such as silence-editing, volume automation, routing channels, eq-ing, compression/limiting, gating, use of reverbs and delay effects (if audio engineer sees fit) and stereo width enhancement. Number of allowed tracks/channels are 35 for beats and up to 50 for songs. In case customer wants more channels or further effects processing such as pitch-correction, use of creative effects (beat drops, time-manipulation effects, distortion, harmony generation, etc.), orders require an update to ‘Premium’ for $20.00 USD, paid upfront in addition to the main price for the standard service. This also extends number of allowed tracks/channels to 50 for beats and up to 70 for songs. Should customer need more revisions than the 2 included revisions, each additional revision can be added by sending a small fee of $10.00 USD (per revision). This is to compensate Allrounda Productions’ (audio-engineer’s) efforts and work-time. Once orders have been fulfilled and completed, Allrounda Productions (audio-engineer) sends customer the mixed and mastered beat or song as WAV file (24bit), MP3 file (320kbps) and Tracked Out WAV Files (24bit). Songs also come as beat-mixdown and acapella-mixdown in WAV format (24bit).
