TRADEMARK
4.1. Background. “Kontact Records” is a trademark and may not be used in connection with any product or service that is not Kontact Records, in any manner that is likely to cause confusion among customers, or in any manner that disparages or discredits Kontact Records. All other trademarks not owned by Kontact Records or its subsidiaries that appear on this site are the property of their respective owners, who may or may not be affiliated with, connected to, or sponsored by Kontact Records or its subsidiaries.
4.2. Federal Trademark Law. In order to comply with and assure protection under federal trademark law (15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq.), we monitor all uses of the Kontact Records trademark. Unauthorized use of the Kontact Records trademark is subject to civil and criminal penalties. The term “trademark” as used in this policy includes any trademark, service mark, logo, design, symbol or any combination of these.
FREE BEATS POLICY
To download any free beat, you must agree to the following terms and conditions:
1. Usage. You absolutely cannot use the instrumental musical composition of which you are attempting to download (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Beat’) For any for-profit, commercial, or financially exploitative use. An appropriate license must be purchased or properly obtained in order to exploit the beat. Acceptable use without obtaining a license (hereinafter referred to as ‘Free Use’) includes:
2. Showcasing of a recording on the Beat in a non-profit manner through an internet-based medium such as Youtube, Soundcloud or a personal webpage.
3. Performing a live act on the Beat in a completely non-profit show.
4. Credit. You will provide proper credit for the creation of the Beat by including ‘Prod. by Kontact’.
5. Legal Consequences. Any unauthorized use of the Beat, including unauthorized reselling, is considered a direct violation of the US Copyright Act of 1976 and is infringing upon the copyrights of the works of Kontact Records. Under the fullest extend of the law, Kontact Records reserves the right to take legal action or pursue financial compensation as a result of any breach or violation of this Agreement.
COMMERCIAL RELEASE
If you would like to distribute your song (Tidal, Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Napster, iTunes, Amazon Music, Youtube Music, etc.) for commercial release you must first contact us in order to set up a revenue split. This is also mandatory and if not done your song(s) may be subject to removal via “Cease and Desist Order” or “DMCA Takedown Notice.”
YOUTUBE POLICY (CONTENT ID)
The licensor maintains the unlimited, worldwide rights to register his beat-compositions with a content-ID program/institution such as AdRev, etc. (if you have questions about content ID or AdRev, please google ‘Content ID’ and ‘AdRev’) and be the sole administrator of youtube rights using such a content ID program. This is necessary and entitles licensor to maintain the administrative and legislative rights to the beat-composition, in order to be able to ensure non-exclusive and exclusive license owners administrative guidance and license-warranties. The main purpose is to stop people from stealing beats and using/monetizing them in videos without owning a license. What AdRev does is scan youtube videos for audio material produced by Kontact Records and automatically sends a copyright claim, which blocks your videos from monetization temporarily. Don’t worry! This claim is more a notification and will NOT harm your channel or video, nor does it force you to take down the video(s), the only thing it does, is disable the monetization option temporarily. Your video will keep playing without any other limitations. Anyone using free downloads and tagged demo downloads in videos on youtube can ignore this copyright notification as it doesn’t stop your video from playing and monetization wouldn’t be allowed for non-licensed beats at all (if monetization is desired, you can purchase a Major Artist Lease).
IMPORTANT! – All license owners need to send me their link(s) to their video(s) and details of purchase so I can put their video(s) on the whitelist and remove the copyright claim within 24-48 hours – please send details/links to: info@kontactrecords.com including your order number, PayPal transaction ID, link to video(s) and email address used for purchase. It may therefore be possible that you receive a copyright claim on youtube videos, even if you own a license. Using a content ID program is the only way I can assure that only people with an appropriate beat-license are monetizing their videos rightfully and legally on youtube. It also protects your videos from receiving fraudulent claims by third parties that claim to own the administrative rights to the beats. If you have any questions concerning this issue, feel free to contact me anytime via email and I will respond in 24-48 business hours.
YOUTUBE MONETIZATION
5.1. Copyright Claim. When you purchase an instrumental license from the Kontact Records catalog and upload your song to YouTube, you may automatically receive an automatic copyright claim from our partner that administers copyrights for Kontact Records on YouTube’s platform. If you purchased a Major Artist Lease (New/Independent Artist Leases are not eligible to be monetized for video streams), you can have this claim removed by filing a dispute via the steps listed at: YouTube Copyright Claim Resolution. (once the claim is removed, you should be able to immediately monetize your video)
5.2. Content ID. You DO NOT have permission to submit your Recorded Song to YouTube’s Content ID System via your Distributor or any 3rd Party that Administers Copyrights on YouTube (or SoundCloud). Per YouTube’s Content ID application terms, music that is Non-Exclusively licensed cannot be submitted to the Content ID system (reference). The audio content transacted through Kontact Records under any lease options are licensed Non-Exclusively only. In doing-so, it also creates false copyright claims between license-holders. We reserve the right to request removal of your song from the Content ID System if you are found to be in violation of these terms. This information is also included in your PDF License.
RETURNS AND CANCELLATIONS
Return Policy. We aim to deliver the highest quality products on the market. Customer satisfaction is number one on the list of our priorities. However, due to the nature of our products (non-tangible irrevocable goods), all digitally delivered products from our website are not eligible for return or refund. All sales are FINAL and all charges from those sales are nonrefundable unless there is a “duplicate purchase” (multiple orders of the same instrumental and license). We also recommend checking your previous orders before completing a transaction to confirm you do not purchase any of our products twice. You may at any time cancel their order before payment has been processed.
To minimize refund requests, we urge that you double-check your orders before purchasing. Make sure the product you’re ordering is compatible with your operating system and software you own. We reserve the right to refuse any refund requests and will not be held at fault for customer mishaps.
We thoroughly check all our products before we put them up for sale. We’ll do our best to help resolve any technical issues, but beyond that there’s little we can do in terms of refunding.
We suggest that all customers back up their orders on a separate hard drive or cloud based system to protect against loss of products purchased from our website. In the unlikely event of a failed, lost, or broken hard drive, Kontact Records will replace download links for a previous order only after being provided with proof of purchase from the customer. This is applicable to all orders made within a one-year period, any purchases of a later date than one years will not be covered.
DATA PRESERVATION
7.1 Back Up. Your access to the audio content is not guaranteed to remain available indefinitely — it is your responsibility to back up the audio content on a separate hard drive, cloud, or data disc to avoid permanently losing the data.
7.2. Data Recovery. If in the event the audio content is lost and download links are expired, you may contact Customer Support by email for assistance in retrieving all missing files, provided that they are still available.
FORMAT & DELIVERY
8.1. After you have paid for your Products you will immediately receive a purchase receipt email containing a link to download your products. When you click this links it will send you back to our site where you can download your Products instantly. IP Addresses are tracked for security and fraud prevention purposes.
8.2. Audio Format. The audio content (“WAV” in particular) is produced and delivered in 32-Bit float Stereo, 48 kHz format. In the unlikely event that WAV is incompatible with your platform, many audio conversion softwares or services are available on the market that can convert to several alternate audio formats — some of which are free to use online.
8.3. Download Issues. If you experience any problems accessing or opening your downloads, please contact us or try to re-download the files from another device. Also ensure that the file transfer status reaches to completion (100%) or try downloading via an alternate web browser.
CUSTOMER INFORMATION & REGISTRATION
An account is not required with Kontact Records to view the website, but to make a purchase you must register an account and provide certain information, including your first name, last name, email address, password and billing information.
You agree that all information submitted is correct, current, accurate and non-fraudulent. In the event that your personal and/or billing details change you will amend your account details as necessary.
MULTI-TRACKS
9.1. Stem Files. Included only with the Independent and Major Artist Licenses, the “MULTIS” (also known as “Stems” or “Track Outs”) can be used for further flexibility in your audio mix. Stems are to be used for mixing purposes only. Due to the complexity of each instrumental, the number of layers within the multi-tracks may vary.
9.2. Exceptions. Piano Solos will not always include separate audio layers unless there are additional instruments such as strings, or layered piano melodies. Instrumentals with live drums will generally contain the live drum sections as a Single Stereo Mix because they are recorded onto a single audio layer.
9.3. EQ and Effects. For consistency and compatibility purposes, all MULTIS are delivered with the same effects as heard in the demo version on the website.
9.4. Uncompressed. If you have a need for an uncompressed version of the instrumental (single-stereo mix), it is recommended to simply lower the volume and EQ in the mix before recording your vocals. Another option would be to upgrade to the Independent or Major Artist License that will include the MULTIS (also known as “Stem Files” or “Track Outs”). This would resolve any need for an uncompressed version as you can edit individual instruments or vocals within the mix.
