01 License Tiers

What's the difference between the licenses?

Basic ($24.99) gets you a tagged MP3 to write and demo. Premium ($49.99) delivers untagged MP3 and WAV files with commercial streaming rights up to 500,000 streams. Unlimited ($399.99) adds track stems plus unlimited streams and paid downloads. Exclusive ($999.99) permanently removes the beat from the store, grants master ownership, and includes all production files. Publishing remains a 50/50 writer split across every tier.

02 Audio Deliverables

What does "tagged" mean?

A tagged beat has a vocal producer tag ("DJ Z-Rex") repeated at regular intervals over the music to prevent unauthorized commercial release. Basic includes the tagged MP3 so you can write and record demo vocals. Premium, Unlimited, and Exclusive tiers deliver clean, untagged audio ready for commercial mixing and release.

Tagged for demo Untagged on Premium+ Clean release files
03 Instant Delivery

How fast do I get my files?

Instantly. As soon as your checkout clears in the player, your secure download link is generated automatically. You receive your untagged audio files, license agreement, and stems right away with no manual waiting.

Instant download Automated delivery Direct contract PDF
04 Streaming Distribution

Can I release the song on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube?

Yes. Premium, Unlimited, and Exclusive licenses all include commercial streaming and distribution rights across Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon, and YouTube. Basic and Premium allow up to 500,000 monetized audio streams. Unlimited and Exclusive remove all streaming caps completely.

Spotify & Apple Music 500K cap on Basic/Premium Uncapped on Unlimited+
05 Catalog vs Custom

When should I go Exclusive vs. Custom?

Pick Exclusive ($999.99) when you connect with an existing catalog beat and want it taken off the market so no other artist can ever license it again. Pick Custom (from $199) when you want an original track built from the ground up tailored to your voice, tempo, and creative references.

06 Store Policy

What's your refund policy?

Because beats are delivered as instant digital downloads with immediate contract execution, all sales are final. Preview the complete instrumental in the player before licensing, and reach out through the contact page if you have questions about keys, tempo, or rights before purchasing.

All sales final Full previews available Read refund policy →
07 Sales Distribution

What do you mean by "downloads allowed"?

"Downloads allowed" refers to how many paid units you can sell of your finished record. Basic allows 2,000 paid sales, Premium allows 3,000, and Unlimited is completely uncapped. This covers paid digital sales (iTunes, Bandcamp) and physical media (CDs, vinyl). Free promotional downloads never count against this limit, and streams are tracked separately.

2,000 Basic 3,000 Premium Unlimited on Unlimited+
08 Rights & Caps

What's the difference between "downloads" and "streams"?

Downloads are paid purchases where a fan buys a digital copy or physical copy of your song. Streams are plays on digital platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. Basic and Premium allow 500,000 monetized audio streams. Unlimited and Exclusive are completely uncapped. These caps operate independently: hitting your sales limit has zero effect on your stream count.

Independent caps 500K monetized streams Uncapped tiers available
09 Publishing & Splits

What does "50% publishing rights" mean?

Publishing rights govern songwriting royalties when your song streams, broadcasts, or plays on television and live radio. Under all licenses, the writer and publishing split is 50/50 between the artist and DJ Z-Rex. When registering the song with your PRO (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC), you list DJ Z-Rex as 50% writer so royalties route properly. Exclusive licenses transfer master recording ownership to you, while keeping the 50/50 composition writer split intact.

10 License Upgrades

What if I sell more copies than my license allows?

If your release gains momentum and approaches your distribution or streaming limit, you can easily upgrade to a higher tier by paying the difference between licenses. Unlimited removes all unit and stream caps, so you never have to worry about tracking counts.

Upgrade anytime Pay the difference Unlimited has zero caps
11 Video & Sync

Can I use the beat in a music video or film?

Every license includes one monetized music video, up to five minutes long (or the length of your song, whichever is shorter). This applies to all tiers including Unlimited. Live performance rights are unrestricted across all licenses. Commercial broadcast, television placement, or feature films require a separate sync license.

1 monetized music video Live shows included Sync licenses available
12 Contract Term

How long does my license last?

Non-exclusive licenses (Basic, Premium, Unlimited) run for 10 years from the date of purchase. Exclusive licenses grant perpetual, worldwide rights with no expiration date. If your 10-year term nears expiration, reach out and we can renew or upgrade your agreement smoothly.

10-year lease term Perpetual for Exclusive Easy renewals
13 Producer Buy-Back

Can you take the license back?

For non-exclusive licenses (Basic, Premium, Unlimited), the standard agreement includes a producer buy-back clause: within three years of purchase, I can terminate the license by refunding 200% of what you originally paid. This exists solely to protect the track if an artist later requests an exclusive buyout. Exclusive licenses have no buy-back clause.

3-year buy-back window 200% refund protection Zero buy-back on Exclusive
14 Song Credits

Do I need to credit you as the producer?

Yes. All licenses require credit as "Produced by DJ Z-Rex" on digital streaming metadata, album artwork, music video descriptions, and liner notes. It maintains professional documentation and is a standard requirement across the industry.

"Produced by DJ Z-Rex" Metadata & DSPs Artwork credits
15 Catalog Ownership

What's the difference between "exclusive" and "non-exclusive"?

Non-exclusive licenses keep the beat active in the catalog so multiple artists can release records over it under their respective tier terms. Exclusive licenses permanently remove the beat from the store, transfer master recording ownership to you, and ensure no future licenses can ever be sold. Any non-exclusive licenses sold prior to the exclusive purchase remain legally valid.

Non-exclusive stays live Exclusive removes beat Master ownership
16 Tier Guide

Which license should I pick?

Basic ($24.99) is best for writing, demoing, and finding your pocket. Premium ($49.99) is the go-to standard for independent artists dropping singles on Spotify and Apple Music with untagged WAV audio. Unlimited ($399.99) is ideal when you need individual track stems for custom mixing and zero streaming caps. Exclusive ($999.99) is for label-backed releases, major budgets, and full master ownership.
