Beat Lease Agreement

1. Grant of License

Licensor grants Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the purchased instrumental (“the Beat”) to record one (1) new song (“the Song”) featuring Licensee's vocal performance, subject to the terms below.

2. Ownership

Licensor retains full ownership of the Beat, including all underlying composition and master rights. This Agreement conveys a license to use the Beat — it does not transfer ownership, copyright, or any exclusive rights.

3. Permitted Uses

Under this lease, Licensee may:

• — Distribute the Song on streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, etc.) up to 1,000,000 streams/units combined across all platforms
• — Monetize the Song on YouTube and other platforms
• — Perform the Song live, including at ticketed shows
• — Use the Song in official music videos

4. Restrictions

Licensee may not:

• — Resell, lease, or transfer the Beat (in whole or in part) to any third party
• — Claim ownership or authorship of the Beat itself
• — Register the Beat (as opposed to the finished Song containing Licensee's performance) for copyright
• — Use the Beat in another artist's release
• — Exceed the distribution/streaming cap in Section 3 without upgrading to an exclusive license

5. Producer Credit

Licensee must credit the Beat as “Prod. by BÜBU” (or as otherwise specified by Licensor) in the Song's official metadata, video credits, and any public release materials.

6. Exceeding the Lease Cap

If the Song exceeds the streaming/unit cap in Section 3, Licensee must contact Licensor to negotiate an upgraded or exclusive license. Continued use beyond the cap without upgrading constitutes a breach of this Agreement.

7. Beat Removal / Exclusive Pull

Licensor reserves the right to remove the Beat from public sale on bububeats.com at any time, including if the Beat is sold as an exclusive to another artist. This does not affect the rights of any Licensee who purchased a lease prior to removal — existing lease holders retain their rights under this Agreement for their already-released Song.

8. No Refunds

Due to the digital nature of the product, all beat lease purchases are final and non-refundable once the files have been delivered/downloaded.

9. Termination

Licensor may terminate this Agreement if Licensee breaches any term above, including unauthorized resale or exceeding usage limits without upgrading. Upon termination, Licensee must cease all use, distribution, and monetization of the Song containing the Beat.

10. Limitation of Liability

The Beat is provided “as is.” Licensor is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from Licensee's use of the Beat.

11. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, USA.
