Terms:
LEASING RIGHTS
You will receive an encoded MP3 file of the untagged song, and/or a copy of the raw WAV file. The song file can be delivered digitally or through the mail on a CD. Leasing rights allow you to use the song for ONE commercial recording or broadcast. This recording can then be distributed at your price for up to 2,000 copies. Selling more than 2,000 copies means you must acquire a new lease or exclusive rights. You may also use the song for non-profit promotional use or demos. You have full rights to record, alter, and mix the song in any shape, way, or form (except reselling the song). You will receive a contract in the mail granting you non-exclusive rights to the song. In the event that someone buys exclusive rights to the song you have leased, your rights shall stand and the beat is still yours to use. You may also acquire new leasing rights if you sell more than 2,000 copies since your contract predates exclusive sale. The seller will not receive a royalty from the sale of records or downloads. You must however give full credit to the seller (artist and/or producer name) on all commercial recordings. Upon purchasing leasing rights, the seller still owns the song(s) and the seller is able to resell the song(s) to any other party until exclusive rights have been purchased.


EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS
You will receive a MP3 file of the song, untagged (free of soundmarks) and/or a copy of the raw WAV file. The song file can be delivered digitally or through the mail on a CD. Exclusive rights grant you unlimited commercial recordings and broadcasts. You have full rights to record, alter, mix the song in any shape, way, or form (except reselling the song). You will receive a contract in the mail granting you exclusive rights to the song. You own the recording as a "work made for hire". The original seller may no longer lease or sell the song, except for prior leasing rights holders and his/her own promotional page (no downloads there). The seller will not receive a royalty from the sale of records or downloads. You must however give full credit to the seller (artist and/or producer name) on all commercial recordings.
