VANTA PRODUCTIONS LLC

STANDARD NON-EXCLUSIVE BEAT LICENSE AGREEMENT

Effective Date: ______________________

This Standard Non-Exclusive Beat License Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Vanta Productions LLC (“Producer”) and the purchasing artist, customer, or legal entity (“Licensee”).

By purchasing, downloading, receiving, or using a Beat from Vanta Productions LLC, Licensee acknowledges that they have had an opportunity to review this Agreement and agrees to be bound by its terms.

 

1. PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT

This Agreement establishes the standard non-exclusive licensing terms for Beats sold by Vanta Productions LLC.

This Agreement applies to the following Vanta Productions products:

  • WAV Lease — $50
  • 3-Beat Pack — $120
  • 5-Beat Pack — $150

The specific Beat or Beats licensed to Licensee will be identified through the applicable order confirmation, receipt, invoice, digital delivery record, or other written purchase record issued by Vanta Productions LLC.

This Agreement does not require individual Beat titles to be listed in the Agreement itself.

 

2. DEFINITIONS

“Producer”

Means Vanta Productions LLC, including its authorized representatives and producers operating under Vanta Productions.

“Licensee”

Means the individual or legal entity purchasing and using the licensed Beat or Beats.

“Beat”

Means an instrumental musical production created, owned, controlled, or lawfully licensed for distribution by Vanta Productions LLC.

“Song”

Means a completed musical recording created by Licensee using a licensed Beat, including vocals, lyrics, performances, and other original material added by Licensee.

“Commercial Release”

Means making the completed Song available to the public through legitimate streaming services, digital music stores, social media platforms, video platforms, distributors, or other lawful channels.

 

3. LICENSE GRANT

Subject to payment and continued compliance with this Agreement, Vanta Productions LLC grants Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use each Beat identified in Licensee’s applicable purchase record.

The license permits Licensee to use the Beat to create and commercially release a completed Song, subject to the terms and limitations of this Agreement.

This license is a license to use the Beat and is not a sale or transfer of ownership.

Vanta Productions LLC retains ownership and control of the Beat.

 

4. NON-EXCLUSIVE LICENSE

All Beats covered by this Agreement are licensed on a non-exclusive basis.

This means Vanta Productions LLC may license the same Beat to other artists.

Licensee understands and agrees that other artists may legally use the same Beat under separate licenses.

Licensee does not receive exclusive rights to any Beat by purchasing a WAV Lease, 3-Beat Pack, or 5-Beat Pack.

 

5. AVAILABLE LICENSE PRODUCTS

A. WAV LEASE — $50

The WAV Lease provides Licensee with:

  • One untagged high-resolution WAV instrumental;
  • A non-exclusive license to use the Beat;
  • Permission to create one finished Song using the Beat;
  • Commercial release rights subject to this Agreement; and
  • Producer credit as described in this Agreement.

B. 3-BEAT PACK — $120

The 3-Beat Pack provides Licensee with:

  • Three Beats;
  • One untagged high-resolution WAV instrumental for each Beat;
  • A separate non-exclusive license to use each Beat;
  • Permission to create one finished Song from each Beat;
  • Commercial release rights subject to this Agreement; and
  • Producer credit as described in this Agreement.

The 3-Beat Pack therefore permits Licensee to create up to three finished Songs, one from each licensed Beat.

C. 5-BEAT PACK — $150

The 5-Beat Pack provides Licensee with:

  • Five Beats;
  • One untagged high-resolution WAV instrumental for each Beat;
  • A separate non-exclusive license to use each Beat;
  • Permission to create one finished Song from each Beat;
  • Commercial release rights subject to this Agreement; and
  • Producer credit as described in this Agreement.

The 5-Beat Pack therefore permits Licensee to create up to five finished Songs, one from each licensed Beat.

 

6. BEAT IDENTIFICATION

The specific Beats included in Licensee’s purchase will be identified in the applicable:

  • Order confirmation;
  • Receipt;
  • Invoice;
  • Digital delivery record; or
  • Other written purchase record issued by Vanta Productions LLC.

Such purchase records are incorporated into this Agreement for the purpose of identifying the licensed Beats.

For Beat Packs, each Beat included in the order is independently licensed under this Agreement.

 

7. PERMITTED USE

For each licensed Beat, Licensee may:

  1. Record vocals or other original performances over the Beat.
  2. Create one completed Song.
  3. Edit, arrange, shorten, or modify the Beat as reasonably necessary to create the Song.
  4. Commercially release the completed Song.
  5. Distribute the completed Song through legitimate music distributors.
  6. Release the completed Song on streaming and digital music platforms.
  7. Promote the completed Song through social media and video platforms.
  8. Perform the completed Song publicly.
  9. Use the completed Song for normal artist promotion.

The rights granted apply to the completed Song and do not transfer ownership of the underlying Beat.

 

8. ONE SONG PER LICENSED BEAT

Each licensed Beat may be used to create one completed Song.

A WAV Lease therefore covers one Song.

A 3-Beat Pack covers up to three Songs.

A 5-Beat Pack covers up to five Songs.

Creating additional separate Songs using the same Beat requires additional written permission or a separate license from Vanta Productions LLC.

 

9. PROHIBITED USE

Licensee may not:

  1. Claim ownership of the Beat itself.
  2. Sell or resell the Beat as a standalone instrumental.
  3. Sublicense, rent, lease, or redistribute the Beat.
  4. Give the Beat to another artist for that artist’s independent use.
  5. Upload the Beat by itself to streaming platforms or digital stores.
  6. Sell the Beat as part of another beat pack, sample pack, sound pack, or production product.
  7. Register the Beat itself as though Licensee exclusively owns it.
  8. Attempt to obtain exclusive ownership of the Beat.
  9. Transfer this license to another person without written permission from Vanta Productions LLC.
  10. Represent the Beat as being created exclusively by Licensee.
  11. Use the Beat in an unlawful manner.
  12. Use the Beat in a manner that intentionally infringes the rights of Vanta Productions LLC or another rights holder.

 

10. OWNERSHIP

Vanta Productions LLC retains ownership of the licensed Beat.

Purchasing a license does not constitute a sale, assignment, or transfer of copyright ownership in the Beat.

Licensee retains ownership of:

  • Original lyrics created by Licensee;
  • Original vocal performances;
  • Original instrumental performances added by Licensee; and
  • Other original material independently created by Licensee.

Nothing in this Agreement transfers ownership of the Beat to Licensee.

 

11. COMMERCIAL RELEASE

Licensee may commercially release the completed Song created using the licensed Beat, subject to this Agreement.

Commercial release may include legitimate:

  • Streaming platforms;
  • Digital music stores;
  • Music distributors;
  • Social media platforms;
  • Video platforms;
  • Public performances; and
  • Promotional channels.

Licensee is responsible for complying with the terms and requirements of the platforms and distributors used.

 

12. PRODUCER CREDIT

Licensee agrees to provide appropriate producer credit wherever reasonably possible.

Recommended credit:

Produced by Vanta Productions

or

Prod. by Vanta Productions

Where platform functionality permits, Licensee should include the producer credit in the Song’s metadata, description, credits, or promotional materials.

 

13. CONTENT ID AND COPYRIGHT MANAGEMENT

Because the Beats are licensed non-exclusively, multiple artists may have valid licenses to use the same Beat.

Licensee may not register the Beat itself, or a Song containing the Beat, in a copyright-management or Content ID system in a manner that falsely claims exclusive ownership of the Beat.

Licensee may not knowingly use a copyright-management system to prevent other properly licensed artists from exercising their rights to use the same Beat.

If Licensee receives a copyright claim involving a Vanta Productions Beat, Licensee should contact Vanta Productions LLC when the claim appears to involve the Beat or another licensed user.

 

14. STEMS AND TRACKOUTS

The WAV Lease, 3-Beat Pack, and 5-Beat Pack include WAV instrumental files only.

Individual WAV stems or trackouts are not included unless separately purchased.

Vanta Productions LLC may offer stems through a separate Stem Pack — $100 product and applicable license agreement.

Purchasing a catalog Beat license does not automatically provide Licensee with stems.

 

15. PAYMENT

The license becomes effective after Vanta Productions LLC successfully receives the applicable purchase price.

Current standard catalog pricing:

WAV Lease — $50

3-Beat Pack — $120

5-Beat Pack — $150

Vanta Productions LLC may change pricing for future purchases.

A price change does not automatically modify a license previously purchased.

 

16. REFUNDS

Because Beats are digital products that may be immediately delivered or downloaded, purchases are generally non-refundable after delivery or download, except where required by applicable law or where Vanta Productions LLC determines that a refund is appropriate.

If Licensee receives an incorrect Beat or experiences a technical problem with delivery, Licensee should contact Vanta Productions LLC for assistance.

 

17. LICENSE TERM

Unless otherwise stated in writing, the license remains valid for Licensee’s authorized use of the completed Song for the duration permitted by this Agreement, provided Licensee continues to comply with all applicable terms.

 

18. TERMINATION

Vanta Productions LLC may terminate this Agreement if Licensee materially violates its terms.

Material violations may include:

  • Failure to pay the required license fee;
  • Unauthorized redistribution of a Beat;
  • Selling or sublicensing a Beat;
  • Attempting to claim exclusive ownership;
  • Knowingly violating the licensing restrictions;
  • Using the Beat unlawfully; or
  • Materially interfering with Vanta Productions LLC’s rights.

Upon termination, Licensee must cease new use and distribution of the affected Beat except as otherwise required by applicable law or agreed to in writing.

 

19. THIRD-PARTY MATERIAL

If a Beat contains samples, loops, sounds, or other third-party material subject to separate licensing requirements, Licensee may be required to comply with those applicable terms.

Licensee is responsible for obtaining permissions for copyrighted material independently added by Licensee to the completed Song.

 

20. NO EXCLUSIVITY

Licensee expressly acknowledges that the license granted under this Agreement is non-exclusive.

Vanta Productions LLC may continue licensing the same Beat to other artists.

Licensee has no right to demand that Vanta Productions LLC remove the Beat from its catalog solely because Licensee purchased a non-exclusive license.

 

21. NO COPYRIGHT ASSIGNMENT

Nothing in this Agreement constitutes an assignment or transfer of copyright ownership in any Beat.

Any future assignment or transfer of ownership must be contained in a separate written agreement signed by an authorized representative of Vanta Productions LLC.

 

22. LICENSE LIMITATION

The license granted under this Agreement applies only to the Beat or Beats identified in Licensee’s applicable purchase record.

Purchasing one Beat does not grant rights to other Beats in the Vanta Productions catalog.

Purchasing a Beat Pack grants rights only to the Beats included in that specific purchase.

 

23. LICENSEE RESPONSIBILITIES

Licensee is responsible for:

  • Original lyrics and performances;
  • Clearing any copyrighted material independently added by Licensee;
  • Complying with distributor and platform requirements;
  • Providing accurate release information;
  • Providing producer credit; and
  • Obtaining any additional permissions required for material not supplied by Vanta Productions LLC.

 

24. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement and the applicable purchase record constitute the entire agreement between Vanta Productions LLC and Licensee regarding the licensed Beat or Beats.

Any modification to this Agreement must be made in writing.

 

25. GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

 

26. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law.

 

27. ELECTRONIC ACCEPTANCE

Licensee’s purchase, download, receipt, or use of a Vanta Productions Beat constitutes acknowledgment that Licensee has had an opportunity to review this Agreement and agrees to its terms.

Electronic acceptance through an online checkout system may constitute acceptance of this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law.
