COMPLETE LICENSE TERMS
This Agreement is between OJOO LIMITED, a Cyprus limited liability company doing business as Beatopia, and the person or entity that accepts it through a registered Beatopia account. It governs every Beat downloaded under that account while this version is in effect. By accepting this Agreement, downloading a Beat, or using a Beat, you agree to these terms.
The license has no upfront fee. It is worldwide, non-exclusive and perpetual unless you breach it. You may create and commercially release unlimited Finished Songs and use the Beat in unlimited qualifying Finished Videos. Beatopia retains ownership or control of the Beat recording and the exclusive right to administer and, where permitted by applicable platform rules, monetize that Beat through YouTube Content ID. The Producer side owns 50 percent of the publishing in every Finished Song and the artist side collectively owns the remaining 50 percent. A Finished Video using the Beat without a new song does not give you a share of the Beat Composition.
1 Agreement and Acceptance
1.1 Parties This Agreement is between OJOO LIMITED, a Cyprus limited liability company doing business as Beatopia, including its successors and permitted assigns, referred to as Beatopia, we, us or our, and the person or entity identified on the registered account, referred to as you, your or the Licensee.
1.2 Acceptance You accept this Agreement when you click to accept it, download a Beat, or first use a Beat, whichever occurs first. If you act for a company, label or other entity, you confirm that you have authority to bind it. If you do not agree, do not download or use a Beat.
1.3 Age You must be at least 18 years old or the age of legal majority where you live. A minor may use Beatopia only through an account accepted and supervised by a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be responsible for the minor's use.
1.4 Relationship to Other Terms Beatopia's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy also apply to the service and the account. This Agreement controls if another Beatopia term conflicts specifically about the rights granted in a downloaded Beat.
2 Definitions
Beat the sound recording identified in a License Record, including the mix and any stems or alternate files Beatopia makes available with it.
Beat Composition the underlying musical composition embodied in the Beat, excluding your lyrics, vocal melody and other original contributions.
Producer the writer or producer identified in the License Record and any co-writers listed there.
Finished Song a new sound recording that combines a Beat with a substantial original vocal performance controlled by you. A Finished Song may also contain your own cleared musical additions.
Finished Video an audiovisual work or social-platform video upload that combines the Beat with visual content controlled or properly cleared by you. This includes films, advertisements, client productions, games, livestreams and social videos, as well as static-image videos, waveform videos, visualizers and other listening videos.
DSP a lawful digital service that distributes or streams music, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer and similar services.

Producer Side the Producer or Producers and their respective publishers or publishing administrators, collectively.
3 Account Eligibility and License Records
3.1 Registered Account Only a registered Beatopia account holder receives this license. You must provide accurate, current information and keep the account secure. The account and its download rights may not be sold, shared or transferred.
3.2 When a Beat Is Licensed A Beat is licensed when the account completes the authorized download process. Previewing, streaming, screen-recording or obtaining a file from another person does not create a license.
3.3 Evidence The account-based License Record, account download history and Beatopia's business records identify the licensed Beat, download date, applicable agreement version and metadata. Beatopia may display this information in your account or supply it on reasonable request. The License Record is not a whitelisting certificate and does not authorize claim-free YouTube monetization. Beatopia's records control if an altered or incomplete copy conflicts with them.
3.4 Account Closure Closing or losing access to an account ends future download access but does not terminate licenses validly obtained before closure, unless the account or license is terminated for breach.
4 License Grant
4.1 Grant Subject to this Agreement, Beatopia grants you a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to reproduce, edit and synchronize the Beat, and to reproduce, distribute, sell, publicly perform, communicate, display, monetize and otherwise exploit the Beat only as incorporated into a Finished Song or Finished Video.
4.2 No Upfront Fee No upfront license fee is charged for a Beat downloaded under this Agreement. Free does not mean copyright-free, exclusive, public domain or free of publishing obligations. The publishing split, credits, Content ID reservation and all other terms still apply.
4.3 Unlimited Finished Songs You may create and release an unlimited number of Finished Songs from each licensed Beat. The Producer Side receives the publishing share stated in this Agreement in every such Finished Song, alternate version, remix or later work that contains any recognizable or material part of the Beat or Beat Composition.
4.4 Unlimited Finished Videos You may incorporate the Beat, with or without vocals, into an unlimited number of Finished Videos. The Beat may be the principal listening content in a YouTube or social-platform video, including a static-image video, waveform video or visualizer. You may not make the Beat file or stems available for extraction, download or reuse. Finished Videos may also include films, advertisements, trailers, games, apps, livestreams, social videos, client productions and other audiovisual works.
4.5 Necessary Authorizations You may authorize distributors, labels, publishers, collection societies, platforms, broadcasters, venues, editors, engineers, collaborators and clients to use a Finished Song or Finished Video only as reasonably necessary to exploit that work under this Agreement. Those authorizations do not permit anyone to extract, reuse or separately exploit the Beat.
4.6 No Exclusivity Beatopia may license the same Beat to any number of users and may continue to use, distribute, monetize, sell, remove or otherwise exploit it. Removal of a Beat from Beatopia does not end a license validly obtained before removal.
5 Permitted Uses
You may use a Finished Song or Finished Video for any lawful commercial or non-commercial purpose described below, subject to the YouTube and Content ID rules in Sections 9 and 10.
- Release and monetize Finished Songs through DSPs, digital downloads and physical formats.
- Upload full songs, music videos, lyric videos, visualizers, live sessions, shorts, reels, stories, snippets and promotional clips to websites and social platforms.
- Perform Finished Songs live, including ticketed shows, festivals, broadcasts, webcasts and live streams.
- Broadcast or communicate Finished Songs by radio, television, satellite, cable, internet radio and similar services.
- Synchronize Finished Songs in films, television programs, advertisements, trailers, games, apps, podcasts and other audiovisual productions, whether created by you or licensed to a third party.
- Use the Beat without vocals in Finished Videos, including monetized videos, advertisements, branded content, films, games, apps, livestreams, shorts, client productions, static-image videos, waveform videos, visualizers and other listening videos.
- Create clean, explicit, radio, extended, shortened, remixed, remastered, translated, acoustic, live and alternate vocal versions, provided each version remains a Finished Song and complies with this Agreement.
- Use Finished Songs and Finished Videos in lawful commercial client work, provided you control or are authorized to license the completed work and the client receives no standalone rights in the Beat.
- Register your rights in your original vocals, lyrics, musical additions and the copyrightable elements of the Finished Song that you own, while accurately excluding the pre-existing Beat and Producer Side rights.
6 Ownership and Non Exclusive Rights
6.1 The Beat Beatopia owns or controls the copyright and other rights in the Beat sound recording. The Producer Side owns or controls the Beat Composition as stated in the License Record. No ownership in either is transferred to you.
6.2 Your Contributions As between you and Beatopia, you own your original lyrics, vocal performance, vocal melody and other original material that you add. To the extent recognized by law, you also own the new copyright in the Finished Song sound recording as a derivative work, excluding the Beat itself and subject at all times to this Agreement.
6.3 Your Video As between you and Beatopia, you own or control your original visual material and the copyrightable elements of a Finished Video that you create. You receive no ownership in the Beat or Beat Composition merely because you synchronize it with visual content.
6.4 Master and Video Revenue Except for Content ID and other rights-management revenue reserved under Section 9, Beatopia does not claim a share of the master-recording revenue earned from a Finished Song or the ordinary revenue earned from a Finished Video. You may collect DSP master royalties from Finished Songs, sales income, neighboring-rights income, performance fees, client fees, sponsorship income and creator-program or audiovisual advertising income attributable to your completed work, subject to third-party agreements you enter. You are not entitled to advertising or Content ID revenue allocated to Beatopia's claim on a Finished Video.
6.5 No Exclusive Claim You may not state or imply that you exclusively own the Beat, the Beat Composition or all audio in a Finished Song or Finished Video. You may not prevent Beatopia, the Producer or another authorized licensee from using the Beat. Similarity between two authorized works is not infringement by Beatopia or another authorized user.
6.6 No Producer or Artist Endorsement Artist-reference or sounds-like tags describe style only. They do not mean that the referenced artist, the Producer or Beatopia endorses, sponsors or participates in your Finished Song or Finished Video.
7 Publishing and Royalties
7.1 Composition Ownership The musical composition embodied in each Finished Song is owned 50 percent by the Producer Side and 50 percent collectively by you and all writers who contribute to your side of the Finished Song. You must divide your collective 50 percent among your co-writers. You may not reduce or dilute the Producer Side's collective 50 percent without Beatopia's written agreement.
7.2 Multiple Producers If a License Record lists more than one Producer or publishing designee, the Producer Side's individual shares shown there collectively equal 50 percent of the Finished Song. You must reproduce that internal allocation accurately in every registration.
7.3 Finished Videos Without a New Song Synchronizing the Beat with a Finished Video does not by itself create a new musical composition or give you a writer or publishing share in the Beat Composition. Where a Finished Video uses the Beat without a qualifying Finished Song, the Producer Side retains 100 percent of the Beat Composition and the related composition royalties. The 50/50 publishing split applies only to a qualifying Finished Song containing your original songwriting contribution.
7.4 Separate Administration Each writer and publisher may administer only its own share. Beatopia does not administer your share unless you sign a separate written agreement. You may not grant a publisher, administrator, label or collection society control over the Producer Side's share.
7.5 Registration Within 30 days after first public release of each Finished Song, you must register the composition accurately with every relevant performing-rights organization, mechanical-rights organization, collective management organization or publishing administrator used by you. Use the exact legal names, shares, PRO affiliations, IPI or CAE numbers and publishing details in the License Record.
7.6 How to Enter the Split If a registration system uses a single 100 percent composition total, allocate 50 percent collectively to the Producer Side and 50 percent collectively to your side. If it uses separate 100 percent writer and 100 percent publisher columns, allocate the Producer Side's applicable writers 50 percent of the writer column and its applicable publishers or designees 50 percent of the publisher column; allocate the remaining 50 percent of each column to your side. Follow the receiving society's format without changing the economic 50/50 result.
7.7 DSP and Distributor Settings Enter the Producer's legal songwriter or composer information and preferred producer credit in your distributor's metadata fields. A distributor's master-revenue split tool is not a substitute for publishing registration. Do not direct 50 percent of your master royalties to the Producer unless a separate agreement specifically requires that result; the 50/50 split in this Agreement concerns the musical composition, not the Finished Song master revenue.
If one Producer is listed and the registration system uses a 100 percent total, register that Producer Side at 50 percent and divide the remaining 50 percent among yourself and your co-writers. If two Producers are listed at 30 percent and 20 percent, enter those exact shares and divide only the artist-side 50 percent among your writers.
The Producer's 50 percent is a publishing and composition share. It is not a 50 percent share of your DSP master royalties. Use the distributor's producer and songwriter metadata fields, then complete the separate PRO or publishing registration required by Section 7.
7.8 Mechanical and Performance Royalties Publishing, mechanical and public-performance royalties attributable to a Finished Song composition must be allocated according to the 50/50 publishing split. Where a DSP, society or collective pays those royalties directly, each side should collect its own share. For uses such as physical copies or permanent downloads where you or your label must obtain or account for mechanical rights directly, you are responsible for the Producer Side's applicable statutory or otherwise legally required mechanical royalties, except to the extent the same royalties are paid by the platform or another responsible party.
7.9 Synchronization Income You may authorize synchronization of a Finished Song or Finished Video without obtaining a new Beat license. Any fee expressly attributable to the Finished Song master or your Finished Video belongs to you. Any fee or royalty attributable to a Finished Song composition must be allocated according to the 50/50 publishing split. For a Finished Video using the Beat without a qualifying Finished Song, the Producer Side retains the composition share described in Section 7.3. You must provide accurate writer information and cause required cue sheets or equivalent reports to be submitted.
7.10 Taxes and Third Parties You are responsible for taxes, distributor fees, collaborator shares and other obligations arising from your exploitation of a Finished Song or Finished Video. Beatopia is not responsible for registering your rights, collecting your income or correcting a registration submitted by you.
8 Credits and Metadata
8.1 Required Credit Credit the Producer using the exact Preferred Credit shown in the License Record. The standard form is Produced by [Preferred Credit] or Prod. [Preferred Credit]. If several Producers are listed, credit all of them as shown.
8.2 Public Uploads For Finished Songs uploaded directly to YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp or a similar platform, place the credit after the title when practical or prominently in the description or platform credit field. For Finished Videos, place the Producer credit in the description, end credits or comparable credit field wherever reasonably practical. Do not hide the credit behind unrelated tags.
8.3 DSP Metadata In every distributor or DSP delivery, enter the Producer in the producer field and each legal writer in the songwriter or composer fields, together with the applicable publishing designee and IPI or CAE number when the platform accepts them. Do not list the Producer as a featured artist unless separately agreed and factually accurate.
8.4 Physical and Audiovisual Credits Include the Producer credit in digital booklets, physical liner notes, official descriptions, end credits and cue sheets wherever comparable production credits are customarily supplied and technically possible.
8.5 Corrections If Beatopia notifies you of an omitted or incorrect credit or registration, you must submit all available corrections within 10 business days and follow up reasonably until the relevant platform or society processes them. An accidental omission cured on time does not by itself terminate the license.
9 YouTube Content ID and Platform Monetization
9.1 Beatopia Reservation Beatopia exclusively reserves the right, directly or through a designated rights administrator, to register, reference, identify, track, review, claim, manage and monetize the Beat through YouTube Content ID and other rights-management systems, to the extent permitted by the applicable platform's policies. Beatopia or its administrator may determine, on a match-by-match basis, whether to monetize, track, release, exclude or take no action regarding a use of the Beat.
9.2 YouTube Uploads Allowed You may upload compliant Finished Songs and Finished Videos to YouTube, including a Finished Video that presents the Beat without vocals as the principal listening content using static artwork, a waveform, a visualizer or other visual content. The upload may be detected by Content ID and reviewed or claimed by Beatopia or its designated administrator. Depending on the circumstances and applicable platform rules, Beatopia or its administrator may monetize the video, track its use, release the claim or take no action. A Content ID claim does not by itself mean that the upload is unlicensed.
9.3 Content ID Revenue Where Beatopia or its administrator is permitted to monetize a matching video through Content ID, revenue generated by that claim belongs to Beatopia and its contractual participants unless Beatopia separately agrees otherwise in writing. Beatopia does not guarantee that every match will be claimed or monetized. This does not give Beatopia any share of your sponsorship income, merchandise, ticket sales, channel memberships or other income not generated by the Content ID claim.
9.4 No Enrollment by You You must not submit, register, reference or enroll the Beat, any stem, any Finished Song, any Finished Video or any version containing the Beat in Content ID, Meta Rights Manager, TikTok rights management or any other audio-fingerprinting, reference-file, claiming, monetization or copyright-management database. This restriction applies even if you alter the Beat, own your vocals or visual content, use a distributor or label, or believe the system will exclude the Beat automatically.
9.5 Distributor Add Ons You must opt out of every distributor feature that enrolls audio in Content ID or another fingerprint-based rights-management service. Features may be labeled YouTube Content ID, social video monetization, UGC monetization, Facebook or Instagram monetization, Rights Manager, audio protection or similar wording. If a distributor cannot deliver the Finished Song without such enrollment, do not use that distributor for the affected delivery.
9.6 Claims and Disputes Before disputing or appealing a Beatopia or administrator claim, contact Beatopia through the Content ID Support Process unless the platform requires immediate action to preserve your rights. Contact Beatopia if a claim is factually incorrect, blocks a compliant video, identifies the wrong Beat, conflicts with a separate written waiver, or comes from an unknown claimant. Provide the video URL, claim details, account email, Beat identifier and License Record. Beatopia will use commercially reasonable efforts to review complete requests promptly. Nothing in this Agreement prevents you from using a platform's dispute process in good faith regarding an erroneous or unauthorized claim.
9.7 No Takedown for Compliant Use Beatopia does not intend to request removal of a video solely because it contains a Beat used in compliance with this Agreement, including a permitted standalone listening video. Beatopia may maintain a monetization or tracking claim. Beatopia may block, remove or enforce against unlicensed uses, unauthorized audio distribution, downloadable Beat files, false ownership claims, fraudulent disputes or other breaches. YouTube and third parties control their own systems, and Beatopia cannot guarantee that a platform will not make an error.
9.8 Whitelisting This license does not include channel whitelisting, claim release or the right to monetize a YouTube video free of Beatopia's claim. Any exception requires a separate written authorization from Beatopia identifying the channel, video or release and the scope of the exception.
10 Distribution and Platform Instructions
10.1 DSP Distribution You may deliver Finished Songs to DSPs and retain the resulting master income, subject to the publishing obligations in Section 7. Distribution is allowed only if the distributor does not enroll or assert the Beat or Finished Song in a prohibited fingerprinting or rights-management system.
10.2 YouTube Music and Art Tracks You may deliver a Finished Song to YouTube Music or as an Art Track only if the distributor permits delivery without enrolling it in Content ID or disputing Beatopia's rights. Beatopia may claim or monetize the resulting YouTube video. If your distributor cannot accommodate that arrangement, exclude YouTube and YouTube Music from the delivery.
10.3 Other Social Platforms You may upload and monetize ordinary posts and videos on social platforms other than YouTube, including creator-program, sponsorship and advertising income, provided you do not register the audio as a fingerprinting reference or assert exclusive music rights that conflict with Beatopia or other licensees.
10.4 Platform Rules You must comply with each platform's current terms and technical requirements. Beatopia does not guarantee acceptance, continued availability, playlist placement, monetization eligibility, revenue level or claim-free distribution on any platform.
11 Collaborators Labels Distributors and Clients
11.1 Project Access You may give Beat files to your producer, engineer, mixer, featured artist, session musician, video editor, label, distributor, publisher, manager, lawyer or client only as needed to create or exploit your Finished Songs or Finished Videos. They must keep the files secure and may not use them for another project or person.
11.2 Responsibility You are responsible for every person who receives Beat files through you and for ensuring that your collaborators, label, distributor, publisher, administrator and clients follow this Agreement, including the publishing and Content ID restrictions.
11.3 No Beat Supply Service An individual account may not be used as a beat library for unrelated artists, clients or label roster members. Each unrelated lead artist or entity controlling a release must hold its own registered Beatopia account and valid license, unless Beatopia has approved a business account arrangement in writing.
11.4 Deals Involving a Completed Work You may sign a distribution, recording, publishing, administration, synchronization, production or label agreement involving your Finished Song or Finished Video. Every such agreement must remain subject to Beatopia's rights, the Producer Side's applicable publishing share and the Content ID reservation. No third-party agreement can grant greater rights in the Beat than you receive here.
11.5 Transfers You may transfer or assign your ownership in a Finished Song or Finished Video to a label, client, buyer or successor only if the transferee agrees in writing to comply with this Agreement. The Beat license itself is not separately transferable, and you remain responsible for breaches caused by a transfer made without the required assumption.
12 Editing Stems Remixes and Alternate Versions
12.1 Permitted Editing You may arrange, mix, master, cut, loop, fade, pitch-shift, time-stretch, change tempo, change key, mute stems, add effects and add original or properly cleared music as necessary to create a Finished Song or Finished Video.
12.2 Stems Stems may be used only within your production workflow for a Finished Song or Finished Video. You may not distribute, sell, publish, upload, license or expose any stem by itself, as part of a sample pack, or in a form that allows another person to extract and reuse it.
12.3 Remixes You may create unlimited remixes and alternate versions of your Finished Songs. A third-party remixer may receive the Beat files only for your authorized remix and may not retain or reuse them. Any version containing the Beat remains subject to the Producer Side's 50 percent publishing share and the Content ID restriction.
12.4 Instrumental Sections A Finished Song may contain ordinary instrumental intros, breaks and outros. You may not release an instrumental, karaoke version, producer remake or other version in which the Beat is the principal standalone content and your substantial original vocal performance is absent.
12.5 Standalone Listening Videos Section 12.4 does not prohibit uploading the Beat without vocals as a Finished Video on YouTube or another social platform. Static artwork, cover art, a waveform, a visualizer, looping animation or other visual treatment is permitted for that purpose. This permission does not authorize a standalone audio or DSP release, a downloadable Beat file, resale, sublicensing, stock-music distribution or enrollment in a rights-management system.
13 Prohibited Uses
You must not, directly or through another person:
- sell, sublicense, rent, share, gift, upload or distribute a Beat or stem as a separate audio file, download or reusable asset, except for private project access permitted by Section 11;
- release a Beat as a standalone audio product or DSP release, including as an instrumental, beat tape, production track, karaoke track, remix kit, construction kit, loop, sound library, sample pack, stock-music track or similar reusable asset; permitted YouTube and social-platform listening videos under Section 12.5 are not prohibited by this paragraph;
- submit the Beat to a platform music library, reusable-sound catalog or user-generated-content audio library as a standalone or reusable sound, except where a platform automatically creates an incidental audio page from an authorized Finished Song or Finished Video;
- make a substantially identical re-recording or reconstruction of the Beat to evade this Agreement or Content ID;
- use the Beat or stems to train, fine-tune, evaluate or supply a dataset for a machine-learning or generative-AI model, or permit an AI service to retain them for those purposes;
- mint, tokenize or sell the Beat itself, or grant exclusive rights in it, through an NFT, blockchain record or similar mechanism;
- register the Beat as your original authorship, claim exclusive ownership of audio you do not own, or omit the pre-existing Beat from a copyright filing;
- use Beatopia's or the Producer's name, logo or identity to imply sponsorship, endorsement, membership or collaboration beyond the required factual credit;
- remove embedded rights information or use technical measures to evade a Beatopia claim;
- use the Beat in unlawful, defamatory or infringing material, or in a way that violates another person's privacy, publicity or intellectual-property rights;
- use the Beat to build or operate a service that competes with Beatopia in licensing or distributing standalone beats.
Ordinary assistive production tools may be used for editing, mixing, mastering or vocal processing if their terms do not claim rights in, redistribute or train on the Beat files.
14 Third Party Material and Copyright Claims
14.1 Your Additions You are solely responsible for clearing every sample, interpolation, beat, loop, vocal, artwork, video clip and other third-party element that you add to a Finished Song, Finished Video or related content. Your use must not cause Beatopia, the Producer or another Beat licensee to face a claim based on your additions.
14.2 Beat Rights Beatopia represents that it owns or controls sufficient rights in the Beat and has authority to grant this license, subject to any restriction expressly stated in the License Record. Beatopia may rely on warranties and information supplied by Producers and other rights holders.
14.3 Claims Music rights databases and platforms can produce overlapping or mistaken claims, particularly where non-exclusive material or third-party production tools are involved. Notify Beatopia promptly of a claim concerning the Beat and provide complete documentation. Beatopia will use commercially reasonable efforts to investigate claims within its control but cannot guarantee the conduct or response time of a platform, distributor, Producer or other claimant.
14.4 Rights Conflict If a court, platform or rights holder requires restricted use of a Beat, the parties will cooperate in good faith to protect valid prior uses to the extent legally possible. Nothing in this Agreement requires either party to violate law or a binding order.
15 Promotion and Artist Information
15.1 Beatopia Promotion You grant Beatopia a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to identify you and publicly released Finished Songs and Finished Videos as examples of Beatopia use. Beatopia may reproduce your professional artist or channel name, release title, cover artwork, thumbnail, public biography, public social handle, link and excerpts of the completed work for Beatopia's own portfolio, editorial, advertising and promotional purposes.
15.2 No Ownership Transfer This promotional permission does not transfer ownership of your name, likeness, trademark, artwork, visuals, vocals, Finished Song or Finished Video. Beatopia will not state that you endorse Beatopia beyond the fact that you used a Beat. Where reasonably practical, Beatopia will honor a written request to stop new promotional uses, but materials already produced or published need not be recalled.
16 Breach Cure and Termination
16.1 Perpetual Unless Breached A valid license is perpetual and may not be withdrawn merely because Beatopia removes, sells, exclusively licenses or stops offering a Beat. Beatopia may terminate the license only if you materially breach this Agreement.
16.2 Curable Breach For a curable breach, including an accidental credit or metadata error, Beatopia will normally give written notice and at least 10 business days to begin a complete cure. The license will not terminate if you cure within the stated period and take reasonable steps to correct third-party records.
16.3 Immediate Termination Beatopia may terminate immediately for intentional or repeated Content ID enrollment, raw Beat or stem redistribution, account or license fraud, false ownership claims, deliberate claim circumvention, unauthorized sublicensing, unlawful use, or a breach that cannot reasonably be cured.
16.4 Effect of Termination After termination, you must stop all new exploitation, distribution and performance of affected Finished Songs and Finished Videos; instruct distributors and platforms to remove them; delete Beat files and stems; and stop authorizing further uses. Accrued payment, publishing, indemnity and enforcement obligations survive. Beatopia may continue to administer Content ID and pursue unauthorized uses.
16.5 Reinstatement Beatopia may reinstate a terminated license in writing after a complete cure. Reinstatement is not automatic and does not waive claims arising before reinstatement.
17 Warranties and Service Disclaimer
17.1 Your Warranties You represent and warrant that you have authority to accept this Agreement; your account information is accurate; you own or have cleared your contributions; your exploitation will be lawful; and neither you nor anyone acting for you will grant rights that conflict with this Agreement.
17.2 Service Availability Beatopia may change or discontinue the website, downloads, formats, features and future license offerings. Those changes do not reduce a valid license already obtained under this version. Beatopia does not promise that a Beat, stem, License Record or account download will remain available after the original download.
17.3 Platform Risk Platform rules, algorithms, monetization requirements and rights-management systems may change. Beatopia does not guarantee that any platform will accept, distribute, monetize, keep available or refrain from claiming a Finished Song or Finished Video.
17.4 Disclaimer Except for the express authority stated in Section 14.2 and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Beats and service are provided as is and as available. Beatopia disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Nothing excludes a warranty or consumer right that applicable law does not permit the parties to exclude.
18 Indemnity
18.1 Your Indemnity To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Beatopia, its affiliates, Producers, rights administrators, distributors, contractors, officers, employees and agents from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments and reasonable legal costs arising from your breach, your contributions, your false registration or claim, your unlawful use, or the conduct of a person who received Beat files through you.
18.2 Procedure Beatopia will give you reasonably prompt notice of an indemnified claim and reasonable cooperation at your expense. Beatopia may control the defense with counsel of its choice. You may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault by, imposes obligations on, or restricts the rights of an indemnified party without that party's written consent.
19 Limitation of Liability
19.1 Excluded Losses To the fullest extent permitted by law, Beatopia and the other indemnified parties will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, opportunities, goodwill or platform access, arising from a Beat, a Finished Song, a Finished Video, a platform claim or this Agreement, even if advised that such loss is possible.
19.2 Liability Cap To the fullest extent permitted by law, Beatopia's aggregate liability arising from a Beat or this Agreement will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid Beatopia for the affected license and EUR 100.
19.3 Mandatory Rights The exclusions and cap do not apply to fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, intentional misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that applicable law does not permit the parties to exclude or limit.
20 Changes to This Agreement
20.1 Version at Download The version accepted when you validly download a Beat governs that Beat. A later version applies only to later downloads unless you expressly accept the later version for an earlier Beat.
20.2 Operational Instructions Beatopia may update reasonable claim-submission, metadata, security and platform procedures where needed to work with current technologies or platform rules. An operational update may not retroactively remove the core worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive commercial license or change the 50/50 publishing split for a valid prior download.
21 Governing Law and Disputes
21.1 Good Faith Resolution Before filing a claim, each party will give the other written notice describing the dispute and requested resolution. The parties will try in good faith to resolve it for at least 30 days, except where urgent injunctive relief is reasonably necessary to protect intellectual property, confidential information or platform access.
