What is a Exclusive Beat License?

This Exclusive Beat License agreement is designed for use when a music producer wishes to grant exclusive rights to their beat composition to a single licensee under Dutch law.

It includes comprehensive terms covering rights assignment, payment structures, technical specifications, and usage permissions, all aligned with Dutch copyright law and EU regulations. The agreement is particularly relevant for commercial music releases, professional recording projects, and situations requiring clear delineation of exclusive rights in the Netherlands and EU markets.
