1. Ownership
All beats, compositions, sound recordings and related artwork provided by IronBeatEmpire and its producers remain the property of the original creators and IronBeatEmpire, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- • Purchasing or licensing a beat does not automatically transfer full copyright.
- • Producers and IronBeatEmpire usually retain writer and publishing shares.
- • Master ownership and splits are confirmed on a track-by-track basis.
2. License Types & Scope
IronBeatEmpire offers different license types (Basic, Exclusive and Custom/Sync) as a way to structure how beats may be used. The exact scope of your license (territory, duration, media, usage limits, fees and splits) must always be confirmed in writing.
- • Basic licenses are non-exclusive and usually carry certain usage limits.
- • Exclusive licenses give you exclusive use from the date of agreement onwards, subject to agreed terms.
- • Custom/Sync deals are negotiated individually for brands, film, TV, games and campaigns.
3. Monetization & Distribution
Artists and clients may monetize licensed beats on digital service providers (DSPs) such as Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal and YouTube, as long as the use falls within the agreed license.
- • You are responsible for ensuring that your distributor and PRO registrations match the agreed splits.
- • Unauthorized uploads or registrations that conflict with agreed splits may result in takedowns or disputes.
- • IronBeatEmpire reserves the right to request correction of credits, splits and rights where necessary.
4. Unauthorized Use
Using IronBeatEmpire beats without an appropriate license, using them outside the agreed scope, or misrepresenting ownership of the music is not allowed.
- • This includes uploading beats as your own, selling them, or re-licensing them to third parties.
- • We may pursue takedowns, content ID claims and other remedies for unlicensed or unauthorized use.
5. Credits
Proper crediting is a core part of IronBeatEmpire's culture and structure.
- • Credits should include the producer(s) and IronBeatEmpire where applicable.
- • Example: Prod. [Producer Name] x IronBeatEmpire.
- • Where possible, credits should appear on DSPs, artwork, metadata and promotional materials.
6. Sync & Brand Use
For sync (film, TV, adverts, games, web series and brand campaigns), a specific sync agreement or written confirmation must be in place before the content goes live.
- • Terms will cover territory, duration, media, fees and publishing.
- • Any changes to the campaign or usage should be discussed with IronBeatEmpire in advance.
