Terms & Conditions
1) WAV LEASE Also known as non-exclusive rights, purchasing a lease grants the customer limited artistic & legislative rights to the corresponding beat(s) for one single profitable/ commercial use on any medium (e.g. album, EP or mixtape) with a circulation of up to 5000 sales unites. If this point of sale is reached & further sales are desired, also further rights with a new sales cap need to be obtained (if the beat has not yet been sold with exclusive rights & is still available). If the beat is no more available for leasing, no more sales can be made after the sales cap is reached. A lease comes as a mixed tag-free WAV-file. A beat can be leased to more than one person at the same time until exclusive rights are sold to the beat. Once a beat has been sold with exclusive rights, it will no longer be available for any kind of leasing. Previous leasing rights that have been sold before are not affected & stay valid until the sales cap has been reached. Leasing a beat does not make the customer the sole owner of the beat. The licensee is not allowed to get profitable radio-, video- or television-airplay with a leasing license. For this purpose licensee must own exclusive rights to the beat. The licensor expressly forbids re-sale or any other distribution of the producer's compositions, either as they exist or any modification thereof. You (the customer) cannot sell, loan, rent, lease, assign, remix, rearrange, remove any melodies, instruments, drum programming or transfer all or any of the products sold or the corresponding rights to another person (example a Record Label, another production company, another producer, another artist), or for use in any competitive product. The licensee understands that the licensor maintains 100% copyright & ownership of the original instrumental composition. Licensee cannot use any beat compositions as background element in TV, Film & DVD / computer game projects without obtaining written consent & a separate license agreement. Licensee must include on all productions & products the producer's name. Licensee agrees to display the producer's name in all physical media or within web presentation of a portion (e.g. prelistening) or sum of the original instrumental composition that is being licensed in this agreement. Including but not limited to CD's, CD covers, Cassette tapes, LP's, Cards, etc. (Example credits: Beat prod. by sojboj or Music produced by sojboj). Any displayed or downloadable WAV files must include "produced by sojboj” within the file name. Furthermore, LEASING RIGHTS are subject to registrations in points (4-7).
2) UNLIMITED LEASE
Same restrictions as in point (1) including the following differences: Instead of an allowed
circulation of up to 5000 sales units, the UNLIMITED lease allows unlimited sales units. All
other terms concerning leasing rights are listed in point (1). Furthermore, UNLIMITED
LEASE is subject to registrations in points (4-7).
3) EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS
The purchase of exclusive rights grants the customer full artistic & commercial rights to
the purchased beat. There is no sales cap related to exclusive rights. An exclusive rights
purchase comes as a mixed tag-free WAV-file, the corresponding separate track-lines &
contract/invoice stating the rights of use. Once a beat has been sold with exclusive rights,
it will no longer be available for any kind of leasing/sale. Previous leasing rights being sold
before the beat has been sold exclusively are not affected hereby & stay valid until the
sales cap has been reached. It is therefore possible that a beat has been leased several
times before exclusive rights are sold. The beat will be marked as "sold" & any possible
download & licensing option will be removed. Upon request, a sold beat will be removed
from any website & marketing space where it has been offered
by the licensor. The licensor expressly forbids re-sale or other distribution of the
producer's composition, either as they exist or any modifications thereof. You (the
customer) cannot sell, loan, rent, lease, assign, remix, re-arrange, remove any melodies,
instruments, drum programming or transfer all or any of the products sold or their rights
to another person (example “ Record Label, another production company, another
producer, another artist), or for use in any competitive product. Once Exclusive Rights are
sold to the artist, producer keeps 50% of the performance royalties from the track that is
made with the instrumental. Furthermore, EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS are subject to registrations
in point (4 - 7).
4) PAYMENTS
“sojboj” accepts Pay Pal, Credit/Debit Card payments through Swish. All payments are to
be paid or are paid upfront before delivery of the product. E.g. this means at the same
time that services or products by “sojboj” will only be delivered after receiving the
payment(s). Payments that are still pending & not being credited yet need to be credited
first before delivery! There will be no refund of any payments made, due to the
administrative work & possible financial losses.
5) PUBLIC PERFORMANCES
Non-profitable performances are allowed for any license type. Profitable performances
are allowed as follow: WAV Lease - 300, UNLIMITED Lease - Unlimited
6) DELIVERY
Products are delivered via an automatic system right after the payment has been
received. All products are delivered via e- mail or via a download link. No tangible copies
will be delivered.
7) GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS
By making a payment the customer declares that he/she is fully aware of the terms &
conditions & accepts & agrees to them. If a beat contains sampled material, the sampleclearing of itself needs to be done by the customer(s), not by “sojboj”. The licensee
understands that they are responsible for clearing all samples that they choose to use &
that the licensor cannot & will not be held liable for the misuse of any sampled material
that the licensee uses in conjunction with the original instrumental composition that is
being licensed in this agreement. The licensee understands & accepts that he/she only
paid for the production work of the producer. The licensor does not claim to have any
rights on any sampled material. Under no circumstances is a customer allowed to re-sell
the beat in any form. Rights that are given to a customer are not transferable. Customers
may edit/alter the length of a beat as they see fit, as long as they own a license to the
beat & do not change the sound-structure of the beat itself. No changes to a beat are
allowed, except of length changes (unless it's the EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS). Therefore it is
also not allowed to use any parts, melodies, instruments, sounds, drum arrangements,
etc. of the original instrumental composition for other compositions. After the delivery of
the beat, “sojboj” will be unbound of any further responsibilities to the customer & legally
freed of any further duties. Any Beat by “sojboj” may NOT be uploaded on any website
without permission. Anybody abusing or disrespecting the listed terms & conditions will
likely face a law suit. All of the music is copyrighted.
