License terms
Beat license terms checklist
Before sending a beat folder, write down the practical terms both sides expect to see: the license type, whether stems are included, usage limits, monetization permission, credit, territory or term notes, and the receipt or agreement link.
Terms to confirm
- License type: non-exclusive lease, unlimited lease, exclusive license, or custom agreement.
- Stems included: yes, no, or instrumental only.
- Usage limits: stream caps, video use, live performance use, or other restrictions.
- Monetization: allowed, needs approval, or not allowed.
- Credit line: the exact producer credit the artist should use.
- Territory and term notes when the agreement has limits by region or time.
- Receipt or agreement link saved near the packet.

What this is not
This checklist is not a contract generator and is not legal advice. Use it to prepare a clear handoff packet, then confirm final terms in the actual written agreement before money or rights change hands.
Build your packet
Add these notes in the Deal terms checklist module and copy them into the full BeatFlow release packet.
