When you enable exclusive licensing on a beat, BeatPass lets you configure the terms that will be written into the buyer’s exclusive certificate. This page explains the current settings and defaults.

​
Where You Configure It

You see exclusive configuration inside the track form when the licensing model is:
  • Standard + Exclusive
  • Exclusive Only
The section lives under Licensing Options on the current track form.

​
Publishing Rights Split

This controls how publishing is divided between you and the buyer.
FieldCurrent Default
Producer share20%
Licensee share80%
BeatPass requires the two values to add up to 100%.

​
Territory

This controls where the exclusive license applies. Current options include:
  • Worldwide
  • United States
  • Canada
  • United Kingdom
  • Europe
  • Asia
  • North America
  • South America
  • Africa
  • Australia/Oceania
Worldwide is the current default.

​
Governing Law Country

This controls which country’s laws are written into the exclusive certificate for disputes and contract interpretation. The current default is United States.
BeatPass can prefill this from your account country in some cases, but you should still review it before publishing.

​
Usage Rights

BeatPass’s default exclusive setup is broad. It currently includes rights for:
  • Distribution
  • Audio streams
  • Music videos
  • Video streams
  • Broadcasting
  • For-profit performances
Review these rights carefully before listing a beat, especially if you want more limited or more custom terms.

​
Files to Deliver

The exclusive form lets you choose which files the buyer receives. Current options include:
  • WAV
  • WAV Tagged
  • MP3 320
  • MP3 256
  • FLAC
  • Stems
  • MIDI
  • Trackout / Multitrack
The current default selection is:
  • WAV
  • WAV Tagged
  • MP3 320
  • Stems
BeatPass requires at least one deliverable.

​
Content ID Permission

Exclusive configuration includes a toggle for Content ID registration. The current default configuration allows it. This matters because exclusive buyers often want to protect their release across YouTube and similar platforms.

​
Producer Royalty

The exclusive form also includes an ongoing Producer Royalty percentage.
FieldCurrent Default
Producer royalty3%
Use this field when you want the exclusive certificate to preserve ongoing producer participation beyond the upfront sale and publishing split.

​
Contact Email

If you enable exclusive licensing, BeatPass requires an exclusive contact email. Buyers can use it for licensing questions, and BeatPass uses it as part of the exclusive setup.

​
What Locks After a Sale

Once a beat is sold exclusively:
  • The exclusive terms are locked
  • BeatPass keeps the certificate tied to the exact sold terms
  • The form warns that those terms can no longer be changed for that sold beat
