Terms and Conditions
This Exclusive Beat License Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between IAMU INC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company operating under the producer brand “EJ HUMBLE” (“Producer”), and the purchasing artist/client (“Artist”). By purchasing, downloading, receiving, or using any instrumental/beat from Producer, Artist agrees to the terms below.
1. Grant of Exclusive License
Producer grants Artist an exclusive license to use the purchased beat for commercial music purposes. Upon sale, the beat will be removed from future sale or licensing by Producer. Ownership of the underlying composition and rights remain subject to this Agreement.
2. Commercial Rights
Artist may commercially release, distribute, stream, perform, and monetize songs created using the beat, including on streaming platforms, digital stores, social platforms, and performances.
3. Publishing and Writer Share
Artist retains seventy-five percent (75%) of writer and publishing interest in the musical composition. IAMU INC LLC / EJ HUMBLE retains twenty-five percent (25%) of writer and publishing interest. No additional royalty payments are owed beyond these ownership splits unless separately agreed in writing.
4. Producer Tagline Requirement
Artist must include the audible producer tagline “EJ HUMBLE DID THIS” in commercially released songs using the beat. If Artist removes or edits out the tagline without authorization, Producer will provide written notice and Artist will have fourteen (14) calendar days to restore/correct the issue (“Cure Period”). Instead of restoring the tag, Artist may pay a one-time, non-refundable $500 tag-removal buyout fee to IAMU INC LLC. Payment of the tag-removal fee removes only the audible tag requirement.
5. Written Credit Requirement
Artist must provide written producer credit wherever practical, including streaming metadata, YouTube descriptions, upload descriptions, liner notes, promotional materials, and social media posts. Acceptable examples include: “Produced by EJ HUMBLE” or “Beat produced by EJ HUMBLE.” Written producer credit remains mandatory even if the audible tagline buyout fee is paid.
6. Sync Rights
Synchronization rights for film, television, commercials, advertisements, video games, and similar audiovisual uses are reserved by Producer and require a separate written agreement.
7. Restrictions
Artist may not resell, sublicense, redistribute, or transfer the beat by itself, nor falsely claim sole ownership of the instrumental composition. Artist may not register the beat alone in Content ID systems or make ownership claims that interfere with Producer’s rights.
8. Refund Policy
All sales are final. Due to the digital nature of beat files and licensing, no refunds, chargebacks, or exchanges are permitted except where required by law.
9. Breach
If Artist materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure the breach after written notice (when applicable), Producer may suspend or revoke the license until corrected and pursue remedies available under law.
10. Governing Law and Venue
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction located in North Carolina.
11. Acceptance
Purchase, download, receipt, or use of the beat constitutes acceptance of this Agreement.
