How leasing works

What is a lease?
A lease is a non-exclusive license in which the producer grants the artist permission to use the beat to create a new song and distribute it online. With this agreement, the producer retains the copyright ownership and the artist must adhere to the license terms. Since these licenses are non-exclusive, a single beat can be licensed to an unlimited number of different artists.
This means that several artists could be using the same beat for a different song under similar license terms. Whether or not this is a problem depends entirely on what stage the artist is. A beginner artist would be best off with a non-exclusive license, while a signed artist might be better off with an exclusive license.
NOTE: AS A LEASEHOLDER YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO REGISTER FOR YOUTUBE CONTENT ID ON ANY DISTRIBUTION PLATFORMS! This may result in your lease being terminated without warning and without being refunded.
As you may have noticed, I offer 3 leasing options, giving you more user rights and higher quality files as the price increases. Here is some more info on each lease type:

The most popular leasing option is the "Unlimited Lease" because you get the greatest file quality as well as unlimited user rights. Furthermore, you get the track stems which are extremely useful to sound engineers as it allows them to mix the individual tracks of the beat around the vocals.
