FAQ

A royalty-split beat is licensed in exchange for an agreed share of revenue from the song you make with it.

Stems are separate audio parts of an instrumental, such as drums, bass and melodies. They give you more control when mixing a vocal with the beat.

You can create a commercial song without an upfront licensing fee under the applicable royalty-split agreement. Free upfront does not mean copyright-free.

Follow the producer credit requirements in your beat license. Keep the correct producer name with your release information.

BeatSplit’s royalty-split model supports commercial releases under your license. Review the agreement and each platform’s requirements before distributing or monetizing your song.

Use the limits and permissions in your issued license as the source of truth for streams and sales.

Check that your beat license covers your planned live performance. A free download alone is not proof of performance permission.

Review the license for permitted edits. Changing the arrangement or sound does not remove the producer’s rights or the agreed royalty obligations.

The labels describe different offers, but the actual agreement decides the fee, royalties, exclusivity and permitted uses.

Spotify is not required simply to create a BeatSplit account. Certain artist features may require connecting or verifying an artist profile.

Use Delete Account in your account settings. Your account and public profile are deactivated straight away, and you can restore it for 180 days by signing in again. After that, personal information we no longer need is deleted or anonymised. Records needed for licenses and royalty splits, transactions, fraud and abuse prevention, disputes or legal obligations are kept. Deleting and recreating an account does not reset free downloads, credits, trials or other one-time benefits you have used.

A beat license is the agreement that sets out how you may use an instrumental and what obligations apply to your release.

Review the license and download options shown for the beat. Audio formats, membership benefits and legal permissions are related but separate parts of the offer.

Check the duration and termination provisions in your issued beat license. Membership billing periods do not by themselves define a beat license’s duration.

Do not assume you can transfer your beat license. Check the named licensee and the agreement’s transfer restrictions before another person uses it.

Have permission that covers the live use you plan. A free event does not automatically remove the need for a beat license.

Using an instrumental without the required permission can lead to rights disputes or a release being challenged. Resolve licensing before publishing.

A non-exclusive license allows other artists to license the same instrumental. It does not normally remove the beat from the catalog.

Paid plans can include streaming, stems and audio-tool benefits. Compare the current plan details for included features, credits and limits.

Check the current membership screen and checkout for your plan’s price, currency and billing interval.

You can manage or cancel your subscription through account billing controls where available, or contact support for help.

Check your cancellation confirmation for when paid access ends. Plan benefits and existing beat-license obligations are separate.

Cancellation does not by itself confirm a refund. Contact support about refund requests, billing errors or failed services; applicable consumer rights still apply.

Use the payment methods offered in the current checkout. Availability can depend on the checkout and your location.

Recurring subscriptions renew as disclosed at checkout until cancelled. Check billing for your renewal date and current subscription status.
