For buyers

The details

• I want to buy a beat from your shop. What will I get?
  You’ll get a wholly original beat. There are no unauthorized vocals, samples, or loops. Beatmakers use synths, plugins, and royalty-free samples, so you can release your instrumental and collect 100% of the royalties.
  
  We guarantee full confidentiality. We sign a contract with each of our beatmakers that states that they’re no longer the author or copyright owner, and that they will never claim authorship for beats that they sell on Beathunterz. Once you buy a beat, we remove the preview from our shop and automatically add a “sold” badge.
  
  You’ll instantly receive a link for the full package, so you can remix, edit, and remaster to your heart’s content. This includes 44.1kHz, 16-bit WAV files of both mastered and unmastered versions of the beat, along with MP3 versions too. If vocals were used in the song, you'll get an instrumental version too. And of course, you’ll receive labeled multitrack wet stems (“Kick.wav,” "Bass.wav," "Lead.wav," etc.).
  
  If the producer used a royalty-free sample to create the beat, you’ll receive a link to the sample source, in case you’d like to license the individual samples.
  
  Make sure you buy your beat using your own PayPal account or credit card, and that you provide us with the same name and email address as in your billing details, or we will neither able to release the download link for the beat package nor the certificate of authenticity.
• What’s the difference between your store and other beatmakers’ websites?
  Above all else, it's the quality of our beats.
  
  We have a very strict submission process: we don't allow poor-quality tracks or ideas onto our platform. Unlike other stores, our first priority isn’t the number of beats we sell, but customer satisfaction and solid long-term partnerships. You won’t waste your time trawling through endless low-quality productions to find what you need.
  
  Our prices are reasonable, and our crew is happy
  
  Hardworking producers crafting high-quality beats deserve to be rewarded for their talent. To ensure our beatmakers are motivated, stay creative, and retain attention to detail, we charge between $199 and $999 per beat, and we promise to pay our producers the agreed price. We’re always there for our beatmakers: We offer training to increase their technical knowledge, and we workshop with them to help evolve their sound.
  
  We’re transparent and trusted
  
  We’ve been invited by the Amsterdam Dance Event to host a keynote panel at ADE University. We’ve also hosted a panel at the IMS Conference in Ibiza and at the Dancefair production conference in the Netherlands. We’ve been featured in Mixmag, DJ Mag, and Vice.
  
  We’re approved by the Association for Electronic Music as a download site that licenses content legitimately from artists and remunerates accordingly. We’re proud of our reputation for quality and customer satisfaction.
• What do the and icons mean?
  The icon signals that the beat's primary idea, hook, theme, or melody was produced using 100% royalty-free samples and loops. It's legal and rights-clear, so you can be sure you won't get into any legal trouble if your song blows up. We stipulate that our beatmakers edit these samples to make them unrecognizable, so that you’ll never run into such copyright problems as another artist using the same samples in their beat.
  
  means that the producer has created the idea of the beat themselves, using exclusive samples, so you won't find anything similar in other songs. This exclusivity adds extra value to the production.
• There are vocals in some of the beats – are they all exclusive?
  Most vocals are not custom-made nor exclusive. Exclusive vocals are marked with the icon. Non-exclusive royalty-free vocals are marked with the icon.
• What can I do with non-exclusive vocals?
  All royalty-free vocals purchased by producers are from legal sample packs that have royalty-free licenses, so the tracks can be used for commercial purposes, with the artist collecting 100% of the royalties.
  
  If you’d like to edit one of these tracks or vocals to create a new master version, you’ll have to get a source vocal sample from the manufacturer to obtain a license.
  
  Most royalty-free vocals are taken from Splice or Loopcloud, so it's easy and cheap to get a license for an individual vocal track. Once you purchase a beat, we will provide information on the vocal sample pack, on request.
  
  Remember that anyone else can use the same vocals, since they are not exclusive to you. This is entirely permissible in the industry.
• What can I do with exclusive vocals?
  If the producer has recorded an exclusive vocal, you'll have full rights to exploit it, including to reuse, edit, rework, and remix it. You should not mention the singer or author, as all rights are waived.
• I bought a beat with vocals in your shop – is it possible to get lyrics?
  We’re sorry, but no. Sample pack publishers and authors never provide lyrics on royalty-free samples. You’ll need to transcribe the lyrics yourself or find someone who can.
• What if I want to request minor changes to a beat in the shop before I purchase it? Can you do that?
  In most instances we decline such requests. However, depending on the individual case, we may be able to change a minor element that you don’t like, for an agreed fee.
• I’ve already made a purchase but want to make changes to the beat – can you do that for me?
  When you make a purchase, you agree to buy the beat as it is in the preview.
  
  Previews are 320kbps high-quality MP3s. The producer may be willing to make revisions to the beat, but we cannot guarantee this. Should the producer agree, each revision will cost $100. Contact us with your specific request.
• Are there any discounts?
  Producers on our website occasionally reduce price of their beats. Add your favorites to your wish list so you can keep an eye on their prices. We also offer discount coupons as part of regular promotions: Subscribe to our email newsletter for the latest offers.
  
  Don’t forget to check out our Super Sale category, where all beats are $199.
• Can I refund payment or exchange a beat?
  No. All sales are final. Refunds are impossible due to the nature of digital products.
• What rights do I receive upon purchasing a beat?
  After purchase, you become the new owner of the acquired beat (master recording). You own the copyright, plus author’s, neighboring, and performance rights.
• Do I receive the beat artwork?
  No. You only receive the beat, its rights, and its source files.
• May I resell the beat?
  The purchaser is the end user of the beat. Reselling on Beathunterz or any other beatmakers’ platform is prohibited.
