Exclusive Rights

WHAT “EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS” MEAN (FOR ARTISTS & PRODUCERS)

When you sell a beat with exclusive rights, you are making a one-time sale that gives the buyer sole and exclusive control over how that beat is used.

In practical terms, this means:

✅ What the buyer gets

The buyer receives the exclusive right to:

  • Use the beat for recording songs

  • Distribute and monetise the music worldwide

  • Perform the music publicly

  • Use the beat for commercial purposes

  • Prevent others from using the same beat

❌ What you (the producer) give up

After an exclusive sale:

  • You cannot resell the beat to anyone else

  • You cannot licence the beat again (exclusive or non-exclusive)

  • You cannot upload or list the beat on other platforms

  • You cannot use the beat in new projects unless agreed in writing

🛑 Important

If you previously sold or licensed the beat elsewhere, you must not upload it as exclusive on UNDERPOUND.

Uploading a beat as exclusive while it is already licensed or sold elsewhere may result in:

  • Removal of the beat

  • Account suspension or termination

  • Legal liability for breach of contract or copyright infringement
