Legal Information

Last updated: October 7, 2026 This Privacy Policy explains how Beatworld (“Beatworld”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you use our website, create an account, download beats, purchase Unlimited Licenses, access purchased files, or contact us. 1. Who is responsible The operator of Beatworld is responsible for the processing of personal data on this website. Contact: support@thebeatworld.com 2. Personal data we process We may process the following categories of personal data: - Account information, such as your email address and authentication status. - Profile and licensee information you provide, such as your legal or business name, artist name, full name, address, country, and Tax ID / VAT number. - Purchase and license information, such as purchased beats, order records, license IDs, purchase dates, license status, license PDFs, and download access. - Payment and billing information processed through Stripe, such as payment status, customer ID, Checkout Session ID, payment references, invoices, billing address, and tax calculation information. We do not store full card numbers on our own servers. - Download information, such as which purchased files or free tagged demo files are requested or accessed. - Technical information, such as IP address, browser type, device information, page requests, timestamps, and security logs. - Email delivery information relating to account verification, licenses, purchase confirmations, and other transactional emails. - Contact messages if you contact us directly. 3. Why we process personal data We process personal data to: - create and manage user accounts; - provide access to Beatworld and its beat catalog; - process beat purchases and payments; - issue Unlimited License documents; - provide access to purchased MP3, WAV, and STEMS files; - provide free tagged demo downloads where available; - maintain purchase, invoice, and proof-of-license records; - send account verification, license, purchase, and other transactional emails; - calculate and apply taxes where required; - prevent abuse, fraud, unauthorized access, and security incidents; - maintain, improve, and troubleshoot the website; - comply with legal, tax, accounting, and record-keeping obligations. 4. Legal bases for processing Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data based on one or more of the following legal bases: - performance of a contract, where processing is necessary to provide your account, purchases, files, licenses, and related services; - legal obligations, such as tax, accounting, and compliance requirements; - legitimate interests, such as securing the website, preventing abuse, improving the service, and maintaining appropriate business records; - consent, where we ask for consent for a specific processing activity. 5. Payments, invoices, and tax processing Payments, invoices, payment methods, and tax calculations are handled through Stripe. Stripe may process personal data as an independent controller or processor depending on the situation. Stripe may receive billing information, payment information, tax-related information, transaction details, and technical data necessary to process payments, prevent fraud, issue invoices, and comply with legal obligations. Beatworld uses Stripe Tax where applicable to calculate taxes based on billing or location information provided during checkout. 6. Authentication, database, and storage Beatworld uses Supabase for authentication, database, and storage infrastructure. Supabase may process account data, authentication data, profile information, purchase and license records, download records, and files required to operate Beatworld. 7. Email delivery Beatworld uses Resend and/or Supabase email infrastructure to send transactional emails such as signup verification emails, purchase confirmations, license emails, and account-related messages. These services may process your email address, message content, delivery status, and technical email-delivery information. 8. Hosting Beatworld is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser/device information, request logs, timestamps, and error logs in order to deliver, secure, and monitor the website. 9. Purchases, downloads, and licenses When you purchase a beat, we may store records linking your user account to the purchased beat, order, payment, Unlimited License, invoice, and related download access. These records are necessary to provide purchased files, allow later re-downloads, issue license documents, maintain proof of licensing, and provide customer support. 10. Data retention We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing the service, maintaining purchase and licensing records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and complying with legal, tax, and accounting obligations. Payment, invoice, order, and license records may be retained for longer where necessary for legal, accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, or proof-of-license purposes. 11. Your rights Depending on your location, especially if you are in the EU/EEA, you may have rights under data protection law, including the right to: - access your personal data; - correct inaccurate personal data; - request deletion of personal data; - restrict or object to certain processing; - request data portability; - withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; - lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority. Some information may need to be retained despite a deletion request where retention is required by law or necessary for legitimate purposes such as accounting, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or proof of an issued license. To exercise your rights, contact us at support@thebeatworld.com. 12. Security We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. 13. International transfers Some service providers may process personal data outside your country or outside the EU/EEA. Where required by applicable law, international transfers are handled using appropriate legal safeguards. 14. Children Beatworld is not intended for children who are not legally permitted to enter into the relevant agreement. You must be legally capable of entering into the purchase and licensing agreement or have any permission required under applicable law. 15. Changes to this Privacy Policy We may update this Privacy Policy when necessary to reflect changes to Beatworld, applicable law, or the services we use. The latest version will be posted on this page. Contact: support@thebeatworld.com

Last updated: October 7, 2026 These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Beatworld, including the website, account system, beat catalog, free tagged demo downloads, purchases, purchased files, and licenses. By using Beatworld, creating an account, downloading digital content, or purchasing a beat, you agree to these Terms. 1. Beatworld service Beatworld is a digital beat store where users can preview beats, download certain tagged demo files, purchase beats with Unlimited Licenses, and access purchased digital files and license documents. Beatworld does not sell or ship physical products. 2. Accounts A Beatworld account may be required to download files, purchase beats, access purchased files, retrieve licenses, and use certain account features. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for activity conducted through your account. You agree to provide accurate information when creating an account, completing license details, or making a purchase. 3. Beat purchases Beats are sold individually at the price displayed on Beatworld at the time of purchase. A completed purchase grants the buyer the license applicable to the specific purchased beat and provides access to the digital files included with that purchase. Unless otherwise stated, purchasing a beat does not grant exclusive ownership of the beat. 4. Unlimited License Each purchased beat is licensed under the Beatworld Unlimited License presented before purchase and supplied with the completed purchase. The Unlimited License is perpetual and non-exclusive and applies only to the specific beat identified in the license document. The licensee may commercially release and monetize their own songs created using the licensed beat, subject to the complete Unlimited License terms. Purchasing an Unlimited License does not transfer ownership of the underlying beat, composition, production, audio files, or other Beatworld intellectual property. The complete license terms presented before purchase and contained in the issued license document form part of the agreement between Beatworld and the licensee. 5. Included files A purchased beat includes the available untagged MP3, WAV, and STEMS files associated with that beat. File availability may depend on the files provided for a particular beat. Purchased files are made available digitally through the buyer's Beatworld account. 6. Free tagged downloads Where Beatworld offers a free tagged MP3 download, that file is provided for writing, recording, evaluation, and demo purposes only. A free tagged download does not itself grant commercial release or monetization rights. To commercially release or monetize a song using a Beatworld beat, the appropriate paid license must be obtained. 7. Non-exclusive licensing Beatworld Unlimited Licenses are non-exclusive. The same beat may be licensed to multiple artists, and purchasing a license does not prevent Beatworld from continuing to license, distribute, display, or otherwise exploit the underlying beat. 8. Restrictions Unless expressly permitted by the applicable license, you may not: - resell, redistribute, sublicense, lease, transfer, or give away a beat or its files as a standalone product; - upload or sell the beat or substantially unchanged beat files on another beat marketplace or similar service; - distribute MP3, WAV, STEMS, or substantially unchanged instrumental files independently from your own permitted song; - claim exclusive ownership of the underlying beat; - register the beat, instrumental, STEMS, or substantially unchanged beat files with Content ID or a similar audio fingerprinting system; - share private purchased download links with unauthorized persons; - bypass payment, authentication, or download restrictions; - attempt to gain unauthorized access to Beatworld systems, administrative areas, or other users' information; - use Beatworld for unlawful purposes. 9. Third-party melodies and samples Some beats may contain licensed third-party melodies, samples, loops, or other material. Where applicable, additional obligations may apply, including credit, clearance, or other requirements described in the Unlimited License. Certain additional requirements may apply where a song exceeds specified usage thresholds or is released through a major label, as described in the applicable license terms. 10. Payments, invoices, and taxes Payments are processed through Stripe. You agree to provide accurate payment and billing information. Applicable taxes may be calculated and collected through Stripe Tax based on your billing information, location, and applicable tax rules. Where available, Stripe may issue an invoice or other payment documentation connected with your purchase. 11. Digital delivery Beatworld products are digital products. After successful payment, Beatworld may make the purchased files, Unlimited License, and related account access available electronically. No physical delivery is provided. 12. Refunds and consumer rights Refunds are governed by the Beatworld Refund Policy and applicable law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits mandatory consumer rights that cannot lawfully be waived. Rules concerning withdrawal rights for digital content may differ depending on the customer's location and circumstances. 13. Intellectual property Except for rights expressly granted under an Unlimited License, all rights in Beatworld beats, productions, audio files, artwork, branding, website content, software, and related materials remain with Beatworld or the applicable rights holder. A license grants defined usage rights. It does not transfer ownership of the underlying beat or Beatworld intellectual property. 14. Account suspension and termination Beatworld may suspend or terminate account access where reasonably necessary in cases including fraud, unauthorized access, abusive activity, serious violations of these Terms, or violations of applicable license terms. Suspending an account does not by itself remove rights lawfully acquired under an already completed purchase, except where rights may be terminated under the applicable license or applicable law because of a breach. 15. Availability and changes We may update, modify, suspend, replace, or discontinue parts of the Beatworld website or service. We may change future prices, catalog availability, website features, or licensing offers. Changes to the website or future offers do not retroactively remove rights already granted under a valid completed Unlimited License. 16. No guarantee of commercial success Beatworld provides beats and licensing rights but does not guarantee commercial success, distribution approval, monetization approval, streaming performance, audience growth, or any particular result from music created using a Beatworld beat. 17. Liability To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Beatworld is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or lost-profit damages arising from use of the website, digital files, or licensed beats. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law. 18. Governing law Unless mandatory consumer-protection rules require otherwise, these Terms are governed by the law applicable at the operator's place of business. Mandatory consumer rights applicable in the customer's country remain unaffected where required by law. 19. Changes to these Terms We may update these Terms for future use of Beatworld where reasonably necessary. The version applicable to an already completed purchase and the license terms issued with that purchase will remain relevant to determining the rights granted by that purchase. 20.

Last updated: October 7, 2026 This Refund Policy explains how refunds and issues relating to digital beat purchases and Unlimited Licenses are handled on Beatworld. 1. Digital product nature Beatworld sells digital beat licenses and downloadable digital audio files. Purchases may include an Unlimited License and access to MP3, WAV, and STEMS files. No physical products are shipped. 2. General refund policy Subject to mandatory rights under applicable law, purchases of digital beat licenses and files are generally considered final once the purchased digital content and license have been delivered or made available. Because digital files and licensing rights cannot be returned in the same manner as physical goods, Beatworld generally does not offer discretionary refunds after successful digital delivery or access. This does not affect any statutory rights that apply to you. 3. EU/EEA and other consumer withdrawal rights If you purchase as a consumer, applicable law may provide a statutory withdrawal or cancellation right for certain distance contracts. Special rules apply to digital content and digital services. Where permitted by applicable law, a consumer's withdrawal right for digital content may expire after performance has begun only where the legal requirements for immediate performance, express consent, and acknowledgement of the resulting loss of the withdrawal right have been satisfied. Nothing in this Refund Policy is intended to remove a mandatory withdrawal, refund, repair, replacement, or other consumer right where the legal requirements for doing so have not been met. 4. Duplicate or incorrect charges If you believe you were charged more than once for the same purchase or charged an incorrect amount, contact support@thebeatworld.com. Verified duplicate or incorrect charges will be reviewed and corrected where appropriate. 5. Missing files or technical problems If payment succeeds but your purchased beat, files, license, or invoice does not become available as expected, contact us before opening a payment dispute. We will attempt to restore access, correct the issue, or otherwise provide an appropriate solution. 6. Incorrect purchase Customers are responsible for reviewing the selected beat and license before completing payment. If you accidentally purchase the wrong beat, contact us promptly. Any discretionary refund or replacement offered in these circumstances is determined on a case-by-case basis and does not limit statutory rights. 7. Fraud and unauthorized transactions If you believe a payment was made without your authorization, contact your payment provider and Beatworld support as soon as possible. Beatworld may temporarily restrict access associated with a disputed transaction while the matter is investigated. 8. Chargebacks and payment disputes If a chargeback or payment dispute is opened, account or download access associated with the disputed purchase may be restricted while the dispute is being investigated. Fraudulent or abusive disputes may result in account restrictions or termination. 9. How to request help or a refund For purchase, billing, technical, or refund questions, contact: support@thebeatworld.com Please include the email address connected to your Beatworld account and enough information to identify the relevant purchase.
