Legal
Terms & Licensing
Last updated: June 2025
What You Are Buying
When you purchase a beat on YEVBBEATZZ, you are buying a license — the legal right to use that beat in your own music. You are not buying ownership of the beat itself. The underlying composition, melody, and production remain the intellectual property of YEVBBEATZZ (Joaquin Yannick).
Each license grants you specific usage rights as described below. By completing a purchase, you agree to these terms.
License Tiers
- High-quality MP3 file delivered instantly
- Upload your song to all platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, TikTok, SoundCloud, etc.)
- Non-exclusive — the beat remains available for other artists to lease
- Credit required: "Prod. YEVBBEATZZ"
- Uncompressed WAV file for professional mixing quality
- Upload your song to all platforms
- Non-exclusive — the beat remains available for other artists to lease
- Credit required: "Prod. YEVBBEATZZ"
- Full trackout stems (individual instrument tracks) + master file
- Upload your song to all platforms with no restrictions
- Exclusive — the beat is permanently removed from the store after purchase
- No other artist will be able to purchase this beat after you
- Credit required: "Prod. YEVBBEATZZ"
Distribution Rights
All license tiers — including the basic MP3 lease — grant you the right to upload and distribute your finished song on every major platform, including but not limited to:
There are no streaming limits or sales caps on any tier. Use your song freely.
Credit Requirement
All releases using a YEVBBEATZZ beat must include the credit "Prod. YEVBBEATZZ" in the song title, description, or credits. For example:
This applies to all license tiers including exclusive purchases.
Upgrade Policy
Want to upgrade from an MP3 lease to a WAV lease, or from a WAV lease to an exclusive? You can upgrade your license at any time, as long as:
- You use the same email address that you used for your original purchase
- The beat is still available on the store (has not been sold exclusively to someone else)
To request an upgrade, email joaquinyannick@gmail.com with your original order details. You will only pay the difference between what you already paid and the price of the higher tier.
What Happens When a Beat Sells Exclusively
When an artist purchases the Unlimited Trackout (Exclusive Rights) tier:
- The beat is immediately removed from the YEVBBEATZZ store
- No new licenses will be sold for that beat
- The exclusive buyer receives full trackout stems and the master file
Previous buyers are honored
If you purchased a lease (MP3 or WAV) before someone else bought the exclusive rights, your license remains fully valid. You can continue to have your songs uploaded and distributed — your rights are not affected. I honor all existing licenses.
What You Cannot Do
Regardless of which license tier you purchase, you may not:
- Resell, re-distribute, or give away the beat file (MP3, WAV, or stems) itself
- Register the beat as your own composition with any Performing Rights Organization (PRO)
- Sub-license or transfer your license to another person or entity
- Claim ownership of the underlying beat, melody, or production
- Use the beat in any way that is hateful, defamatory, or illegal
Delivery
After completing your purchase, you will receive:
- An instant download on the confirmation page
- An email to the address you provided containing a download portal link and your license agreement PDF
- Download links are valid for 7 days from the date of purchase
