FOR FREE DOWNLOADS – Free downloads of any beat produced by Tee Da Plug do not include any artistic, commercial, profitable or legislative rights to the beat.Those versions are only for non-profitable use, meaning only for demonstrational tracks. You are allowed to upload tracks (recorded over free downloaded beats) on internet pages like Soundcloud, Facebook, Soundclick or Youtube(non monetization) etc. When being uploaded or presented (for demonstration use only!), credit always has to be given in a written form to Tee Da Plug (e.g. in the song description or song title). The meaning of free downloads is to do a song for yourself, to do first pre-recordings and to see if the song works out well and is worth to make investments in one of the license types. It is not allowed to make any kind of profit with free download versions. It is not allowed to make any changes to the beat or remove any of the used tags or blend out parts of the beat (beat-drops). Copying, distributing, uploading or ripping any audio material (e.g. beat, tag, sounds, instruments, drums, etc.) in any form other than allowed in this agreement is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated at any time! Downloading a tagged beat does not reserve rights to the beat for any form of future licensing. The person disobeying these rules will likely face a law suit for copyright infringement.

YouTube’s ContentID audio fingerprinting system may match music in your video to a copyrighted beat from our website and notify you of a* copyright claim*. You can accept this claim and it will not impact on your video or channel, it simply means you will not be able to earn ad revenue. If you would like to monetize your video on YouTube you will require a Sync (for broadcasting and media use) or Exclusive (for any type of use) license which can be bought from our website. If you own such a license and still have an open copyright claim, please contact us and we will remove it. Note that you do not have the right to submit your own songs to ContentID programs such as TuneCore, Rumblefish or BeatStars without owning the Exclusive license to a beat at which point we will relinquish our copyright and pass it on to you.
