Licensing Terms (Lease vs. Exclusive Rights)

 

LEASING RIGHTS 

 

You will receive a MP3 file of the untagged song. A download for the song file will be delivered instantly. Leasing rights allow you to use the beat for non-profit promotional use or demos. You have full rights to record, alter, mix the beat/song in any shape, way, or form (except reselling the beat). In the event that someone buys exclusive rights to the beat you have leased, your rights shall stand and the beat is still yours to use. You must however give full credit to One Tone on all recordings. Upon purchasing leasing rights, the seller still owns the beat(s) and the seller is able to resell the beat(s) to any other party until exclusive rights have been purchased.

 

EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS

 

You will receive a MP3 file of the beat, untagged (free of soundmarks).  A download for the song file will be delivered instantly. Exclusive rights grant you unlimited commercial recordings and broadcasts. You have full rights to record, alter, mix the beat/song in any shape, way, or form (except reselling the beat). You own the recording as a "work made for hire". The original seller may no longer lease or sell the beat/song, except for prior leasing rights holders and his/her own promotional page. The seller will not receive a royalty from the sale of records or downloads. You must however give full credit to the seller (artist and/or producer name) on all commercial recordings. For both leasing and exclusive rights the buyer is responsible for clearing any samples that may be used.
