When you purchase a beat on Sampleyard, you're buying a license — a legal agreement that defines exactly how you can use that beat. Licenses are purchased using Points . Non-exclusive licenses A non-exclusive license means you can use the beat, but the producer can also sell the same beat to other artists. Sampleyard offers three non-exclusive tiers: Non-Profit (750 Points) — for personal and non-commercial use Commercial (1,500 Points) — for commercial releases with streaming and distribution limits Unlimited (3,000 Points) — full commercial use with no limits on streams, copies, or broadcasts See the License Types Comparison article for full details on what each tier allows. Exclusive license An exclusive license means you own the rights exclusively . Once sold exclusively, the producer cannot sell that beat to anyone else. The price is set by the producer and agreed directly. Ideal for: Major single releases Label submissions Situations where you want full, permanent ownership Always read your license Each license comes with a document outlining your exact rights and limitations. Read it carefully before purchasing.
