License Terms

General license terms

These general terms describe how licenses work on MarketSongs. The contract PDF issued at purchase governs each specific sale.

Definitions

"Work" means the listed song, lyrics, beat or package. "Creator" is the seller; "Buyer" is the purchaser. "License Package" is the specific set of rights and files offered for a price.

Non-exclusive licenses

Basic and Commercial licenses are non-exclusive. The Creator may continue to license the same Work to other Buyers. You may use the Work only within the scope described by your package.

Exclusive licenses

An exclusive license removes or locks the listing after purchase so it cannot be sold again. Exclusivity applies as described in your contract PDF.

Full rights transfer

A full rights transfer is a separate agreement in which ownership rights are transferred. It requires a dedicated contract and is only available when the Creator enables it for a listing.

File access and downloads

Buyers receive only the files included in the purchased package. Downloads are payment-gated and may be blocked if a listing is frozen pending review.

Refunds and disputes

License purchases are generally final once files and the contract PDF are delivered, because digital goods cannot be "returned" in the same way as physical products. If you believe a listing was materially misrepresented, duplicated without rights, or delivered without the files promised in your package, contact support with your purchase ID and contract number.

During beta we review eligible cases manually. Typical outcomes include a corrected file delivery, a license correction, or a refund when the Work cannot be used as described. Chargebacks filed without contacting us first may result in account suspension while the case is reviewed.

Creator warranties

Creators warrant that they own or control all rights necessary to sell each Work and its included files, and that disclosures (including AI usage) are accurate.

Buyer responsibilities

Buyers are responsible for using each Work within the scope of the purchased license and for retaining their contract PDF as proof of the rights granted.

Platform role

MarketSongs provides the marketplace, contract generation and authorship records. It is not a party to the license between Creator and Buyer except as described in these terms.

The contract PDF issued for your specific purchase is the controlling agreement and overrides this general marketing copy. These terms are provided for beta and are not legal advice.
