Recording in the reproduction, duplication, manufacture, and profitable distribution of
phonograph records, cassette tapes, compact disks, other and miscellaneous audio and
video recordings, and any version thereof (collectively, the “Recordings”) worldwide for
the pressing and digital distribution of up to 1,000 copies of such Recordings and any
combination of such Recordings. License includes rights up to 100,000 monetized audio
streams on sites such as Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, or similar streaming
platforms. Additionally, Licensee shall be permitted to distribute unlimited free internet
downloads or streams for non-monetized/non-profitable purposes. Master Recording may
not be added to digital audio fingerprinting services such as YouTube Content ID or
similar blanket monetization services by TuneCore, CD Baby, and others, as this would
require full ownership of the Composition(s).
3. Performance Rights. License includes performance rights to use the Master Recording
for paid performances in live shows and concerts totaling up to $1,000 (USD) in
earnings. An upgraded License (“Unlimited Non-Exclusive License” or “Exclusive

5. Synchronization Rights. License does not include commercial synchronization rights to
use the Master Recording for YouTube and other audio-visual usage such as TV, film, or
video games. A separate license is required to obtain synchronization rights (“Sync
License”). Only the non-monetized/non-profitable distribution of music videos on sites
such as YouTube is permitted.
6. Credit. Licensee shall acknowledge the original authorship of Composition(s)
appropriately and reasonably in all media and performance formats by acknowledging the
relevant author in writing where possible and vocally otherwise.

7. Accounting. Payment for license is non-refundable. If Licensee fails to account to
Licensor, timely and complete the payments provided for hereunder, Licensor shall have
the right to terminate License upon written notice to Licensee. Such termination shall
render the recording, manufacture and/or distribution of Recordings for which monies
have not been paid subject to and actionable as infringements under applicable law.
Licensee must make reasonable efforts to maintain an accounting of all sales, including
but not limited to any commercial distribution, both digital and physical. Licensee and its
agents will, upon reasonable request by Licensor make such accounting available for
inspection by Licensor or its authorized representatives, who will have the right to take
copies of or extracts from any records kept pursuant to this Agreement. The costs of the
audit will be borne by Licensor, unless the underpayment exceeds five percent (5%), in
which case Licensee shall bear the costs of such audits.
8. Indemnification. Licensee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
Licensor and its officers, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all third party
claims, actions, causes of actions, lawsuits, damages, liabilities, obligations, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees) incurred by, or imposed
or asserted against, Licensor arising out of or relating to (i) the violation of any copyright
or proprietary right of any third party; (ii) Licensee’s unauthorized use of the
Composition(s); and (iii) any losses arising as a result of the acts, omission, or negligence
of Licensee, its officers, its directors, and its representatives.
9. Exclusive License Option. In the event that an exclusive license is sold for
Composition(s) outlined in this Non-Exclusive License contract, the terms agreed upon
shall be upheld. In the event that the Licensee exceeds the total granted unit copies or any
other terms herein, an upgrade of the Non-Exclusive License or a re-negotiation for an
Exclusive License may be possible, provided that the Composition(s) has/have not been
sold.
10. Deliverable. Licensee shall receive a high-quality mixed MP3 format version of the
Composition(s). Upon payment of an additional fee, Licensee shall also receive the
uncompressed mixes and separate track lines (“Trackouts”) in high quality WAV format.

commercial release is the responsibility of the Licensee. Licensor will make reasonable
efforts to provide the name of the sample(s) for Licensee to help with the clearance
process.
12. Non-Transferrable. License is non-transferrable, may not be re-sold and is limited to the
Composition(s) specified below. License constitutes the entire agreement between
Licensor and Licensee with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
previous proposals, whether oral or written, and shall be binding upon Licensor and
Licensee and their respective successors, assigns, and legal representatives.
13. Miscellaneous.
a. If any provision of License is held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable, that
provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that
License otherwise remains in full force and effect and enforceable.
