Terms of Service

The platform is operated by:

For the purposes of these Terms:

• "Platform"— means the website at www.beatsandbytes.net and all associated services
• "Beat"— means an original musical composition uploaded to the platform by Beats & Bytes
• "Exclusive Beat"— means a Beat sold once and only once — upon purchase it is permanently removed from public sale
• "Exclusive Licence"— means the legal agreement granting the Buyer sole rights to use the Beat as described in Section 6
• "Buyer" / "Artist"— means any individual or entity that purchases a Beat or service through the platform
• "Custom Beat"— means a Beat produced from scratch by Beats & Bytes producers exclusively for a specific Buyer following a submitted request
• "Services"— means mixing, mastering, and custom production services offered through the platform
• "Licence Certificate"— means the automatically generated PDF document issued to the Buyer upon purchase confirming the terms of the Exclusive Licence

Beats & Bytes provides the following services:

• Exclusive Beat Store — a catalogue of original beats available for exclusive one-time purchase
• Custom Beat Production — bespoke beats produced from scratch for individual artists
• Mixing & Mastering — professional audio post-production services
• AI-Powered Brief Assistant — a tool to help artists articulate their creative vision for custom beat requests

To use the platform and make purchases, you must:

• Be at least 18 years of age
• Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction
• Provide accurate, complete, and current account information
• Maintain the confidentiality of your login credentials

You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. If you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account, you must notify us immediately at admin@beatsandbytes.net.

Beats & Bytes reserves the right to suspend or permanently terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or bring the platform into disrepute — without prior notice where circumstances warrant it.

All payments are processed securely through Stripe, a third-party payment processor. By making a purchase, you agree to Stripe's terms and privacy policy in addition to these Terms.

Full payment is required before access to any paid digital goods or commencement of any paid service. All prices are displayed in USD unless otherwise stated. Currency conversion fees, if applicable, are the responsibility of the Buyer.

You are solely responsible for any taxes, duties, VAT, or other fees applicable to your purchase in your jurisdiction. Beats & Bytes does not collect or remit taxes on behalf of Buyers outside the UK unless required by law.

Your licence includes the right to:

• Use the Beat in original songs and recordings
• Distribute, sell, and stream recordings featuring the Beat on all platforms
• Perform live recordings featuring the Beat
• Use recordings featuring the Beat in film, TV, advertisements, and sync placements

Your licence does not include the right to:

• Resell, sublicense, transfer, or assign this licence or the Beat to any third party
• Distribute or share the raw Beat files (WAV, MP3, stems) with any third party
• Register the Beat as your own original composition with any collecting society (PRS, ASCAP, BMI, etc.)
• Use the Beat in productions for other artists without prior written consent from Beats & Bytes
• Claim ownership of the underlying Beat composition — you own the recording, not the composition

Mandatory Credit: All releases, streams, and distributions featuring the Beat must carry the credit "Prod. Beats & Bytes" in streaming descriptions, metadata, and physical liner notes where applicable.

Upon purchase, a Licence Certificate is automatically generated and made available in your account. This certificate serves as your official proof of exclusive ownership and should be retained.

The Beat is permanently removed from public sale immediately upon purchase confirmation. No other individual or entity will be granted any rights to the same Beat under any circumstances.

Release Notification Requirement: You agree to notify Beats & Bytes at admin@beatsandbytes.net within 30 days of commercially releasing any recording featuring a purchased Beat. Your notification must include: (a) the release title, (b) links to the release on all distribution platforms, and (c) confirmation that the credit "Prod. Beats & Bytes" appears correctly in the streaming metadata, description, and liner notes. Failure to notify or failure to credit constitutes a breach of this licence and may result in licence termination in accordance with Section 8.

This means every penny earned from streams, radio play, live performances, sync licensing, YouTube monetisation, and any other exploitation of your recording belongs entirely to you.

Beats & Bytes makes no claim to any royalty income through PRS for Music, PPL, MCPS, ASCAP, BMI, or any other collecting society in connection with your use of a purchased Beat.

We recommend you register your finished recordings with the appropriate collecting societies in your territory to ensure you collect all royalties owed to you as the recording artist and songwriter.

The following conduct is strictly prohibited on the platform:

• Fraudulent activity, chargeback abuse, or any attempt to bypass payment
• Reselling, sublicensing, redistributing, or transferring a Beat or Licence to any third party
• Sharing raw Beat files (WAV, MP3, stems) with any other person or entity
• Registering a Beat as your own original composition with any collecting society
• Infringing any third-party intellectual property rights
• Uploading malicious code, files, or content to the platform
• Impersonating another user or entity
• Using the platform in any way that violates applicable UK or international law

Custom beat requests are submitted through the platform's request form, optionally assisted by our AI Brief Assistant. Submitting a request does not constitute a purchase or guarantee of production.

Upon submission, Beats & Bytes will review your brief and issue a quote. Production commences only after you accept a quote and complete payment.

Custom beats are produced exclusively for you from scratch. The same Exclusive Licence terms in Section 6 and publishing terms in Section 7 apply to all custom beat productions.

Revision rounds are limited to those included in the agreed quote tier. Revisions are intended for reasonable adjustments — they do not include full re-production or changes outside the originally agreed brief.

Mixing and mastering services are provided based on the scope, turnaround option, and price agreed at the time of request. Work commences upon receipt of all required files and full payment.

Revision rounds are limited to those included in your selected tier. Revisions cover reasonable corrections and adjustments — they do not include changes to the original mix direction, re-recording of elements, or services outside the agreed scope.

You retain full ownership of your original recordings. Beats & Bytes claims no rights over recordings submitted for mixing or mastering.

Beats & Bytes offers an AI-Powered Brief Assistant to help artists articulate their creative vision when requesting custom beats. This tool is powered by third-party AI technology and is provided as a convenience feature only.

The AI assistant generates suggested fields (genre, BPM, key, structure, references) based on your text input. These suggestions are not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or suitable for your specific needs. You should review and adjust all AI-generated fields before submitting your request.

Beats & Bytes is not liable for any outcomes arising from reliance on AI-generated suggestions. The final production brief submitted is your responsibility.

Due to the digital and exclusive nature of our products — and given that full tagged previews are available before purchase — all beat sales are final once payment is confirmed. The exclusivity of the product (removal from public sale upon purchase) means we cannot offer refunds after the transaction is complete.

If you experience a technical issue such as missing files, a corrupted download, or a platform error, please contact us at admin@beatsandbytes.net within 7 days of purchase and we will investigate and resolve the issue.

Chargeback requests that circumvent this policy constitute a breach of these Terms and may result in account termination and licence revocation.

Exclusive beats are delivered digitally and made available in your account immediately upon payment confirmation.

Custom beat and mixing/mastering delivery timelines are estimates provided at the time of quoting. Timelines may vary based on workload, brief complexity, and the completeness of materials submitted by the client. Beats & Bytes will communicate any significant delays proactively.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure platform availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We are not liable for losses arising from temporary platform downtime or service interruptions.

All beats, recordings, branding, software, design, and content on the platform — except where rights are expressly granted under an Exclusive Licence — remain the intellectual property of Beats & Bytes Ltd.

The underlying musical composition of each Beat remains the property of Beats & Bytes Ltd. The Exclusive Licence grants you rights to use the Beat in recordings — it does not transfer ownership of the underlying composition to you.

You retain full ownership of your original vocal performances, lyrics, and any creative elements you contribute to a recording featuring a Beat purchased from the platform.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable UK law, Beats & Bytes Ltd shall not be liable for:

• Indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses
• Loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities
• Losses arising from your use of or inability to access the platform
• Third-party claims arising from your use of a Beat or Licence

Our total aggregate liability to you in connection with any purchase or service shall not exceed the amount you paid for that specific purchase or service.

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law.

Beats & Bytes Ltd is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

We collect and process personal data (including name, email address, and payment information) solely for the purpose of providing our services, processing transactions, and communicating with you about your account and orders.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Payment data is processed and stored by Stripe — Beats & Bytes does not store card details.

Our platform uses cookies for authentication, session management, and analytics. By using the platform, you consent to the use of essential cookies. Full details are available in our Privacy Policy.

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at admin@beatsandbytes.net.

In the event of platform closure, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users with adequate notice and provide access to their Licence Certificates and purchased files.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

In the event of a dispute, both parties agree to first attempt resolution in good faith through direct communication. If a dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days, it shall be referred to binding arbitration under the rules of a mutually agreed arbitration body in the United Kingdom.

Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction where necessary to protect intellectual property rights.

Beats & Bytes Ltd reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Where changes are material, we will notify registered users by email and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

Your continued use of the platform after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must discontinue use of the platform.

Changes to these Terms do not affect the terms of any Exclusive Licence already issued prior to the change date.
