If your order is sent to you in more than one dispatch, you may receive a separate Beat(s) Dispatch E-mail for each dispatch, and each Beat(s) Dispatch E-mail and corresponding dispatch will conclude a separate contract of sale between you us for the Beat(s) specified in that Beat(s) Dispatch E-mail.

For certain purchases of Beats in certain Beat Tiers (as set out in our Beat Tiers Terms, all your interactions, transactions and/or purchases will be with the Beatmaker concerned directly on the terms of Customer-Beatmaker Agreement.

Our Agreement will only be with each Beatmaker personally and not with any other person, entity, manager and/or agency that may represent or assist that Beatmaker. If a Beatmaker does engage such a person, entity, manager or agent it does not affect the Beatmaker ’s personal responsibility and liability to us and nor will we be in any way responsible or liable whatsoever to any other person, entity, manager and/or agency that may represent or assist that Beatmaker. Each Beatmaker will be legally responsible for ensuring that all Content posted and all use of that Beatmaker ’s Account, and/or all Beatmaker Profile Details and Beatmaker Profile, complies with our Terms and Conditions and our Agreement with you.
11. Beatmakers who use Corporate Entities: if you have, or set up, a Corporate Entity and wish to use that Corporate Entity to receive your Beatmaker Earnings, then the following terms will apply:

Grant of Rights in Beats
1. The grant of rights you give us to your Beats will depend upon the Beat Tier for that Beat. You can find these set out in Schedule 1 below.
2. In addition to the rights set out in the Beat Tiers you hereby grant us the following rights to all your Beats:
  1. to host, reproduce, distribute, make available for download and/or perform (publicly or otherwise) all Beats and/or your Content on the Site;
  2. to publicly perform, publicly display, communicate to the public, and otherwise make available your Beats and/or your Content through the Site without the payment to you and/or any third party of any fees or royalties (including, without limitation, to any songwriters, music publishers, performing artists, record labels, managers and/or PROs and unions or guilds, to the fullest extent possible and permissible either at law or otherwise in accordance with (and subject to) the rules from time to time in force of any such PRO;
  3. to sell, licence and/or distribute your Beats and/or your Content in accordance with the Site’s Terms for all Users

  7. to grant any or all of the above rights to any third party authorised by us as reasonably necessary for us and/or such third party or successor to perform our/their obligations further to this Agreement.
Contracts for the purchases of Beats:
1. Each purchase and/or purchase of a licence of a Beat is an individual sale and subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms and Conditions. Each purchase and/or purchase of a licence of a Beat by us from you as a Beatmaker will be regarded as a separate transaction and give rise to a separate agreement between you and us, save that such separate agreement will be subject to these Terms and Conditions. Each delivery of a Beat will constitute a separate sale, whether delivery is in whole or partial fulfilment of an order.
2. Depending upon which Beat Tier a Customer uses to purchase a Beat, the agreement for that purchase may be subject to a separate Customer-Beatmaker Agreement. The tiers of Beats subject to Customer-Beatmaker Agreement are set out in the Beat (as set out in more detail in Schedule 1 below). For such purchases and/or purchases of a licence of Beats in certain Beat Tiers, all Beatmaker’s interactions, transactions and/or purchases will be with the Customer concerned directly on the terms of Customer-Beatmaker Agreement. Whilst we will dispatch Beats that are subject to a Customer- Beatmaker Agreement directly to a Customer and we may facilitate such interactions and/or transactions through the Site, we are not a party to any Customer-Beatmaker Agreement(or any other direct agreement or arrangement between a Customer and a Beatmaker).We are not responsible for, and (to the fullest extent permissible under law) we disclaim any and all liability, howsoever arising, a Customer or a Beatmaker may incur or suffer from any interactions and/or transactions made under or further to a Customer-Beatmaker Agreement.
How much we charge Beatmakers to use the Site:
1. We call all monies that Customers pay to buy, licence, purchase, download, use and/or exploit your Beats “Customer Payments”.
2. Depending upon which Beat tier you wish to place your Beat in we will either pay you for the Beats we or a Customer purchase, and/or we will charge you a commission on the Customer Payments we receive from that Beat. We set this information out in more detail in the Beat Tiers (as set out in more detail in Schedule 1 below).
3. Where we buy a Beat from you, we will pay that amount to you as set out in Clause 6 below. Where we charge you a commission for the sale of a Beat, we call this the “Our Commission”. We call all payments we make to you from the sale of your Beats your “Beatmaker Earnings”.
4. Where we charge you a commission for the sale of a Beat, Our Commission and your Beatmaker Earnings are calculated as follows:
  1. we receive the Customer Payment from the sale of your Beat (as set out in Clause 6);
  2. we deduct Our Commission from that Customer Payment. Our Commision rates are set out in more detail in Schedule 1 below and include all our costs of operating and providing the Site and/or the Services, and hosting your Beats and/or Content;
  3. from the balance of the Customer Payment we then deduct the following:
    1. VAT or other sales taxes;
    2. our third-party payment provider’s fees;
    3. any amounts due to Customer returns or chargebacks (if any);
    4. any reasonable, bona fide, third party transaction costs actually incurred by us and directly attributable to the sale of your Beat; and
  4. from the balance we then hold your Beatmaker Earnings (in accordance with Clause 6.
  5. We may agree to pay you an advance or up-front payment for your Beats. We shall be under no obligation to do so, but if we do we will agree the amount of that advance or payment with you in advance. Where we do pay you such an advance or payment we will recoup (that is, we will recover) an amount equivalent to that advance or payment from your Beatmaker Earnings, so that we will be entitled to retain all your Beatmaker Earnings until the amounts we retain are equivalent to that advance or payment. One your Beatmaker Earnings exceed the amount of that advance or payment, we will then pay you your Beatmaker Earnings in accordance with 6.
Beatmaker Earnings are paid to Beatmakers as follows:
1. All Customer Payments will be received by a third-party payment provider approved by us. We may instigate alternative means of receiving Customer Payments and, if so, we will notify you of any such changes via the Site (and/ or Site Terms and Conditions) as and when we do.
2. We may (but we shall not be obliged) pay you an advance payment against your Beatmaker Earnings in accordance with the Beat Tiers. Should we do so, we shall be entitled to recoup one hundred percent (100%) of such advance against your Beatmaker Earnings and whilst we shall account to you for your Beatmaker Earnings prior to recoupment we will not pay you such Beatmaker Earnings until such advance has been fully recouped by us.
3. We will receive the Customer Payment in full from the relevant payment provider. We will then take Our Commission (if applicable) from the Customer Payment and then will hold the Beatmaker Earnings on your behalf in our capacity as your agent.
4. Your Beatmaker Account will be updated within a reasonable time with a statement of your Beatmaker Earnings, and payment of any sums shown to be due on such statement. We will notify you when your Beatmaker Account has been updated with your Beatmaker Earnings. However please note that you will not be able to access or withdraw those Beatmaker Earnings for a period of 24hrs after payment of those Beatmaker Earnings into your Beatmaker Account. This is so we have sufficient time to finalise all accounting and payment processes related to your Beatmaker Earnings including any applicable refunds or returns to Customers (if any).
5. However, please note that you must have a minimum amount in your Beatmaker Account before you can withdraw any of your Beatmaker Earnings. We will set out in your Beatmaker Account what that minimum amount must be, and it may vary depending upon which country you are resident in.
6. All Customer Payments and Beatmaker Earnings are transacted in UK Pounds Sterling only. Your bank may charge you currency conversion charges to your local currency, or other fees in processing your transfer of your Beatmaker Earnings into your bank account. These rates, charges and fees are outside of our control and we accept no liability or responsibility for these. You should check with your bank what charges may apply (if any) to any transfer of your Beatmaker Earnings from your Beatmaker Account to your bank account before making any such transfer.
7. We reserve the right to deduct from your Beatmaker Account your share of a Customer Payment where the Customer who made that Customer Payment obtains a refund or chargeback from their card provider on that Customer Payment.
8. Without prejudice to our other legal rights and remedies at law or otherwise, we reserve the right to withhold your Beatmaker Earnings if:
  1. you have breached the Terms and Conditions;
  2. we have reason to believe you have attempted to breach the Terms and Conditions; or
  3. we have reason to believe you have come by those Beatmaker Earnings in an unlawful manner or through unlawful activities;
  and we may continue to withhold your Beatmaker Earnings for so long as it takes us to investigate the above. We will inform you by email (using the email address you provided us with when registering for the Site) if we conclude you have committed any of the above actions and, accordingly, we then reserve the right (again, without prejudice to our other rights and remedies at law or otherwise) to retain those Beatmaker Earnings which you agree, in such circumstances, will then be forfeited by you.
9. If we conclude no such activity as is set out in Clause 6.8 has occurred, we will then pay through your Beatmaker Earnings to your Beatmaker Account. Where we conclude that some – but not all – of your Beatmaker Earnings are due to you having committed such activities, we will retain that part of those Beatmaker Earnings that we consider (using our reasonable business judgment) are related to those activities (which you agree will be forfeited by you) and we will pay though to you the balance.
10. Where we have forfeited any Beatmaker Earnings we will then refund to any Customer any Customer Payments that contributed towards those forfeited Beatmaker Earnings.
11. Beatmaker Audit Rights: Beatmaker may at Beatmaker’s sole cost may appoint a certified accountant to audit the books of account of Wavetick only insofar as such books directly relate to the Beats and Wavetick’s payment of Beatmaker Earnings further to this Agreement, on reasonable written notice no more than once every twelve (12) months and no more than once in respect of any given statement. All statements shall be deemed accepted and binding if no notice of audit is received within one (1) year of the date of such statement. No proceedings may be brought against the Company following the date four. Beatmaker’s sole and exclusive remedy for any agreed underpayment revealed by an audit will be for Wavetick to credit or pay such underpayment to credited to Beatmaker’s Account.
