The license is non-exclusive, non-transferable and does not imply transfer of intellectual property, unless expressly provided in a specific contract that identifies exclusivity and total assignment. The license fee is a one-time, definitive payment for creating the New Work over the Beat. The Customer may modify the arrangement, duration, tempo or pitch of the Beat to create the New Work.

The unlimited usage rights granted by the Elite license do not exempt the Customer from the mandatory obligations of registering the New Work with collective management organizations (PROs), attributing correct credits to the Supplier, and paying applicable royalties as specified in sections 3.3 and 3.4 of these Terms. Violation of these obligations will result in revocation of the license after 15 business days' notice to cure, with pro-rata refund if proven non-violation.

3.3. Mandatory Royalties and Royalty-Share E-mail

Unless expressly stated otherwise in the specific contract, royalties due to the Supplier are based on the following terms (see explanatory supplement at www.ciclosplace.com/Guide-to-Copyright-Royalties-and-Licensing-of-Beats):

Non-exclusive Beats (Leasing):

a) Writer’s Share (composition) via PROs — 50%;
b) Master (phonogram) via royalty share from distributors — 20%;

For exclusive beats:

a) Composer of the new work (Writer's Share), via PROs — 0%;
b) Phonogram (master), via royalties share from distributors — 20.00%;
c) Phonogram (Master) via PROs — Accompanying musician — 16.60%.

The Client may acquire the entirety of the patrimonial rights over the 20% of the distributor's royalty share upon payment of a fee of two hundred percent (200%) of the License Fee paid by the Licensee, to be formalized in a deed of assignment of rights at any time within three (3) years from the date of this Agreement upon written notice to the Supplier. The Supplier declares not to waive the royalties generated from the PROs (Writer's Share and Master via PROs). In case of violation, a cure period of 5 business days applies before termination.

The mentioned percentages refer to the distribution of amounts received by collective management organizations and will be applied to the net basis effectively passed on to the holder/representative, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The Customer undertakes to correctly register the Supplier as co-author/producer in PROs (e.g., ABRAMUS, UBC, SICAM, SBACEM, SOCINPRO, ASCAP, BMI and others) to ensure automatic royalty transfers. Failure to register within 30 days of New Work creation allows Supplier to terminate with refund deduction for administrative costs, or, at your own discretion, register your interests with the PROs. 

For royalties distributed through “royalty share” or “split” systems provided by digital distributors, the Customer agrees to register the Supplier using the e-mail [email protected] as the central account to receive royalty splits. This applies, without limitation, to platforms such as ONErpm, DistroKid, SoundOn, Music Pro, TuneCore, CD Baby, Believe, Amuse, Ditto and other similar digital distributors that offer revenue-sharing or split-payment features. Supplier may audit usage annually upon request.

In cases where the client is not registered with the PROs, there is no restriction on release, but the client agrees to send via royalty share from the distributors — 20.00% of the Phonogram (master) to the email [email protected] with the subject line “Sync royalties share” and subsequently regularize the registration or request release through (DYR) — DulspY Records. The Supplier may, at its discretion, register its interests with the PROs, without prejudice to the Client.

3.4. Mandatory Credits

The Client must credit the Supplier on all digital platforms, promotional materials, and registrations as follows: Prod. Dulls Paixão, Beat by Dulls Paixão, or Dulls/dulls (artistic name registered with Abramus and digital platforms, IPI I0060817845). The Client is strongly advised to register the New Work with Performing Rights Organizations (PMOs). The Supplier is affiliated with Abramus (IPI I0060817845, artist “Dulls”) and encourages the Client to register appropriately to ensure the fair distribution of copyright. Failure to credit results in breach, subject to cure within 5 days.

3.5. Samples Used

The beats may contain samples that are obtained exclusively from licensed and royalty-free libraries (such as Splice, Loopcloud, FL Cloud, and Slate Digital, among others). The Provider guarantees that all samples used are properly cleared; otherwise, the Provider is responsible for obtaining the clearance and/or associated costs, indemnifying Customer for any third-party claims.

3.6. Express Prohibitions

The Customer is expressly prohibited from registering the New Work or the Beat in Content ID systems (YouTube Content ID, Facebook Rights Manager, etc.). This right is exclusive to the Supplier. Resale, rental, lending or transfer of the Beat in isolation (in any format) to third parties is forbidden. The Beat may only be used as the basis for a New Work (song with vocals or other original additional elements). Exceeding the usage limits specified in the license is prohibited. In such cases, the Customer must either (i) acquire a superior license or (ii) pay an excess fee calculated based on the difference in usage and current values, as determined by audit or documentary evidence, within 15 days. Violation of these clauses will result in revocation after notice to cure, with indemnity for damages.

3.7. Monitoring and overages:

In the event of exceeding the limits stipulated in the license on highly relevant and monetizable platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, etc., the Client must (i) acquire a superior license or (ii) pay an overage fee to be calculated based on the difference in usage and current values, as per audit or documentary evidence.
