UNIVERSAL NON-EXCLUSIVE VOCAL LICENSE AGREEMENT

UNIVERSAL NON-EXCLUSIVE VOCAL LICENSE AGREEMENT


This Non-Exclusive License Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of the date of purchase (the "Effective Date") by and between the Licensor ("Vocalist") and the purchaser ("Licensee"). This Agreement governs the rights, responsibilities, and restrictions under which the Licensee may use the vocal recordings ("Vocals") purchased from the Licensor's store.


1. LICENSE FEE

The Licensee shall pay the specified one-time license fee for the selected license tier (Basic, Standard, or Premium) prior to receiving access to any vocal materials. The license is valid only upon full payment.


2. DELIVERY

Licensor shall deliver the materials promptly upon payment via a secure download link. Delivery formats depend on the license tier:

  • Basic: MP3 vocal only (non-commercial use)
  • Standard: WAV vocal only (commercial use allowed)
  • Premium: WAV vocal + Dry/Wet Stems (commercial use allowed)


3. TERM

This Agreement remains in effect perpetually unless terminated due to breach of terms. Licensee’s rights are conditioned on compliance with all terms and restrictions in this Agreement.


4. RIGHTS GRANTED

The license is non-exclusive and non-transferable. The Licensee may incorporate the Vocals into one new composition (the "New Song"). The Licensor retains all master ownership rights.

  • Basic: Personal projects, non-commercial streaming, and practice only. No monetization allowed.
  • Standard & Premium: Distribution on commercial platforms, streaming, radio, and public release allowed.


5. OWNERSHIP

The Licensor retains full ownership of the master recording. All compositions created with the Vocals are derivative works. No ownership is transferred.


6. ROYALTIES & PUBLISHING

The Licensee agrees to a 50/50 split of all royalties from the New Song:

  • 50% Writer's Share to Licensee
  • 50% Writer's Share to Licensor
  • Licensor controls 50% of Publisher's Share
  • PRO: STIM (Sweden) | IPI: 1297279400

    Licensee must register the New Song with their PRO. Public crediting of the Licensor is only required for Major Releases as defined in Section 7 (Terms).


7. SYNCHRONIZATION USAGE

Standard and Premium Licensees may place the New Song in audiovisual works (e.g., ads, film, television, YouTube) under the same royalty split terms as in Section 6. Any synchronization licensing fees received for the New Song must also be split 50/50 between the Licensee and Licensor. Synchronization usage is treated under the Major Release Terms in Section 7, meaning credit must be given wherever possible.



8. TERMS

  • Minor Release Terms: You may use the Vocals in personal projects, independent releases, beat tapes, and mixtapes, provided they are not distributed or released via a Major Label (e.g., SonyBMG, UMG, WEA, or subsidiaries) or a Large Indie Label (e.g., Alamo, Empire, 300, E1, or similar labels). PRO registration and a 50/50 royalty split are required. Public credit is optional.
  • Major Release Terms: For recordings distributed or released via a major label, large indie label, or that exceed 1 million streams on Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube, Licensee must contact the Licensor for clearance before release. PRO registration and a 50/50 royalty split are required. Credit must be included in liner notes, advertisements, and metadata. No additional costs apply.


9. RESTRICTIONS

  • No Isolation: Vocals may not be used or sublicensed in isolation as sound effects, loops, or source material for any other sample, even if modified.
  • No Redistribution: Vocals may not be used or sublicensed in a manner that competes with the Licensor or be redistributed in new sample packs.
  • No Transfer: Vocals may not be sublicensed, sold, loaned, shared, lent, broadcast, rented, leased, assigned, distributed, or transferred to any third party, except as incorporated into a New Song.
  • No Misrepresentation: Licensee may not use the name, image, or likeness of the Vocalist without prior written consent.
  • No Unlawful Use: Vocals may not be used in hateful, defamatory, obscene, or unlawful material.


10. SYNCHRONIZATION & REMIX RIGHTS

Standard and Premium Licensees may use the New Song in audiovisual works (ads, YouTube, film, etc.) and create remixes.


11. SONG CONCEPT & DEMO USAGE

The Vocals, including any re-recordings, altered versions, or derivative performances that substantially use the same melody, lyrics, or concept, are not licensed for resale, licensing, or monetization as a standalone demo or pitching product. This applies even if the original Vocals are replaced with a new performance. If the Licensee wishes to use the Vocals or their concept for such purposes, they must obtain prior written approval from the Licensor. Any approved use will be subject to separately negotiated terms regarding upfront fees, royalties, and credits.


12. TERMINATION

Violation of any terms may result in immediate license revocation without refund.


13. WARRANTY & LIABILITY

Licensor warrants that the Vocals are original and free of third-party claims. Licensee assumes full responsibility for lawful use of the New Song.


14. GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement is governed by the laws of Sweden. Disputes will be resolved in Swedish jurisdiction.


15. ACCEPTANCE

By purchasing and downloading the Vocals, the Licensee accepts and agrees to all terms herein.
