Are there any royalties / back-end payments?
You will share the joint copyright of the beat with the producer. The producer will get 50% of the writers credit for the completed song. This usually means 50% of all statutory publishing and mechanical royalties will be paid to the producer of the beat.

What is Non-Exclusive vs Exclusive?
A non-exclusive beat means it is licensed to more than one person.
An exclusive beat is only licensed to one person and therefore will normally cost more than non-exclusive.

When I buy a beat, can I use the song on my album?
Yes! All beats have a commerical use license meaning you can use them for your demo or album and can perform your song during shows. Each license is good for ONE commercial project. This means you can use the beat for one album release, but must buy an additional license if you plan to use the beat on a "Greatest Hits" or Re-Release.
