1.    Introduction and Acceptance of Terms

This Terms of Service (“TOS” or “Agreement”) is a binding legal contract between you (“You” or “Licensee”) and Curb Beats (“Curb Beats,” “Licensor,” “We,” or “Us”), a business operating globally from Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

By accessing or using the Service, You agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If You do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, You may not access or use the Service.

1.1. Service Model. The Curb Beats Service is a platform for the one-time, non-exclusive sale and licensing of full musical compositions (Tracks), editorial content, and the sale of related merchandise.

1.2. Age Restriction and Eligibility. This Site and the Service are offered and available only to users who are eighteen (18) years of age or older and are capable of forming a binding contract with Curb Beats.

2.    Digital Content, Licensing, and Intellectual Property

The core of the Service involves the licensing of our original musical works (Tracks, Tunes, or Creative Compositions).

2.1. Nature of the License (Non-Exclusive Only). Any purchase of a Track from this Site is the purchase of a non-exclusive, non-transferable license. Exclusive licenses, co-writing agreements, or split-sheets are not offered or sold through this platform. All intellectual property rights and ownership remain exclusively with Curb Beats LLC.

2.2. Tiered Licensing Model. Curb Beats offers two primary, non-exclusive license options for Tracks in its store:

License Tier

Permitted Use

Commercial Rights

Non-Commercial License

Strictly for personal consumption, non-monetized content, and private use.

Prohibited.

Limited Sync License

Limited commercial synchronization rights for video creators (See Section 2.3).

Permitted, subject to strict restrictions.

2.3. Limited Sync License Terms (Small Independent Creators).

  • Duration of Commercial Rights: This is a one-time purchase. The Limited Sync License is unlocked for and valid for a term of three hundred sixty-six (366) days from the date of purchase. All commercial rights and permission to create new video productions using the Track expire at the end of this 366-day period. It does not automatically renew.
  • Creator Limit: This license is only valid for small independent creators whose public profile (e.g., YouTube) has fewer than one million (1,000,000) subscribers or equivalent followers.
  • Scope: Permits use in a maximum of three (3) separate video productions created during the term.
  • Attribution Required: The Licensee must tag Curb Beats in the production and mention in the description the full name of the Track used and that it was created by Curb Beats (and/or the credited producer name).

2.4. Commercial Contract Requirement (Large Entities). Any commercial use falling outside of the Limited Sync License terms—including use by large production studios, television, film, video games, commercials, or creators with over 1 million subscribers—requires a separate, explicit Commercial License Agreement negotiated directly with Curb Beats.

2.5. Strict Prohibition on Modification and Component Use. Due to our legal obligations concerning third-party samples and loops, You are strictly prohibited from performing any act that modifies or exposes the components of the Track:

  • Creation of Derivative Works Prohibited: You may not modify, remix, adapt, or alter the Digital Content for the purpose of creating a new, unlicensed composition.
  • Extraction Prohibited: You may not separate, isolate, or otherwise extract the individual trackouts, stems, instrumental tracks, MIDI files, or sound recordings from the Content for any use whatsoever.
  • Permitted Alterations: The only permitted alterations are to break the Track into smaller parts, or speed up or slow down the tempo solely for the purpose of syncing with the licensed video production.

2.6. Exclusive Sync and Track Takedown Policy.

  • Curb Beats reserves the right to immediately take down a Track from the Site if an exclusive synchronization license is negotiated with a major third-party entity.
  • Prior Agreements Honored: Notwithstanding the takedown, Curb Beats shall honor all prior, validly executed Limited Sync Licenses for that Track, and will not make any claims against revenue generated under those pre-existing licenses.
