1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using this website, or by purchasing or using any beat or license from us, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use our website or purchase our beats.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the website following any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes. The version in effect at the time of your purchase governs that purchase.

2. Use of the Website

You agree to use the site only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict the use of the site by, any third party. You agree not to:

  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website or any systems connected to it.
  • Use the site in any way that may damage, disable, overburden, or impair it.
  • Upload or distribute any malicious code, viruses, or harmful files.
  • Impersonate any person or entity, or provide false information at checkout.

3. Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including beats, text, graphics, logos, images, and software — is the property of nonobeats or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the rights expressly granted by a license you purchase, you may not reproduce, distribute, modify, display, or otherwise use any part of the site or its content without our prior written consent.

4. Licenses

Every beat is offered under one of the following non-exclusive licenses, except where an exclusive (Unlimited / full-rights) purchase is made. The rights and limits are summarized below and set out in full in the license documentation delivered with your purchase.

  • Basic — untagged MP3, up to 100k streams, YouTube monetization.
  • Premium — untagged WAV + MP3, up to 500k streams, YouTube monetization.
  • Trackout — WAV + MP3 + trackout stems, up to 1M streams, monetization across platforms.
  • Unlimited — WAV + stems, unlimited streams, full rights, license documentation included.

Each license grants you a non-transferable right to use the beat to create a new musical work (a "Song") within the limits of that license. A license may not be resold, sublicensed, or transferred to another party. Exclusive ownership is conveyed only where expressly agreed in writing.

5. Ownership & Copyright

Beats are licensed, not sold. nonobeats retains ownership of the underlying composition and master recording of each beat unless you purchase exclusive rights. Your license lets you use the beat as described; it does not transfer copyright in the instrumental.

6. Producer Credit

Unless you hold exclusive rights, any Song created with our beats must credit the producer. Proper crediting is a condition of your license.

a. Standard format

Credit the producer in the title or description of the work, for example: Song Title (Prod. by nonobeats). This applies to releases, videos, and social posts wherever reasonably possible.

b. Digital streaming platforms (DSPs)

On platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and others, you must add the producer to the formal track credits using the exact "Producer" designation. Selecting the wrong role can cause the credit not to display correctly, which does not satisfy this requirement.

c. Publishing & splits

A standard non-exclusive license grants you the right to use the beat but does not, by itself, assign ownership of the underlying composition. Where the producer has contributed to the composition, the producer may be entitled to a songwriter and/or publishing share. Any agreed split — including registration with a Performing Rights Organization (e.g., BMI or ASCAP) — will be set out in your license documentation or in a separate written agreement for exclusive purchases.

d. Credit obligations & breach

Your license documentation specifies where and how the producer's name must appear (for example, artwork, video descriptions, and metadata). Failure to include the required credit may void your license and may make you liable for damages.

7. Permitted & Prohibited Uses

You may use the beat to record, perform, and release a Song within your license limits. You may not:

  • Resell, redistribute, or give away the beat as a standalone audio file.
  • Claim authorship of the instrumental itself.
  • Register the beat or a Song to a Content ID or digital fingerprinting system without exclusive rights.
  • Use the beat in connection with hateful, unlawful, defamatory, or infringing content.

8. Payment & Delivery

Payments are processed securely by Stripe; we never receive or store your card details. Files are delivered by email immediately after purchase, and download links remain valid for 7 days. If you do not receive your files, contact us and we will re-send them.

9. Refunds

Because beats are delivered instantly as digital downloads, all sales are final and non-refundable once the files have been delivered. If something is wrong with your order, email us and we will make it right.

10. Exclusive Rights

Exclusive ownership of a beat is handled separately through a written agreement. When an exclusive sale is completed, the beat is removed from the store and full rights are transferred to the buyer as documented.

11. Accessibility

We are committed to providing a website experience that is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, and we work in good faith to meet current accessibility standards. If you encounter any accessibility issue, please notify us at contact@nonobeats.com. We will make reasonable efforts to investigate and resolve it within 30 days.

12. Links to Third-Party Sites

This website may contain links to external websites or services we do not operate (for example, payment or social platforms). We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party sites, and accessing them is at your own risk.

13. Disclaimers

This website, its content, and all beats are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee that the website will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free from viruses or other harmful components. We disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, nonobeats shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the website, the beats, or these Terms. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the relevant license.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless nonobeats and its affiliates, agents, and partners from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the website, your use of a beat outside your license, or your breach of these Terms.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal action relating to these Terms or your use of the site shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
