1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using Audioryx ("Platform," "Service," "we," "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all applicable laws. If you do not agree, you may not use the Platform. These Terms apply to all users including producers, artists, labels, and visitors.
2. Description of Service
Audioryx is an online marketplace that connects music producers ("Producers") with artists, rappers, content creators, and other buyers ("Buyers"). The Platform enables Producers to upload, license, and sell beats, and enables Buyers to browse, preview, purchase licenses, and download audio files. Audioryx acts as an intermediary and is not a party to licensing agreements between Producers and Buyers.
3. User Accounts
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration. Audioryx reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or engage in fraudulent activity.
4. Content & Intellectual Property
Producers retain all intellectual property rights in their uploaded beats. By uploading content to Audioryx, Producers grant Audioryx a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, stream, promote, and distribute previews of that content for platform operation purposes. Producers represent and warrant that they own all rights to uploaded content and that it does not infringe third-party intellectual property rights. Buyers receive only the specific license rights purchased — no transfer of copyright occurs unless an Exclusive license is purchased.
5. Licensing & Permitted Use
Audioryx offers the following license types: (a) Basic License — grants limited non-exclusive rights for up to 500,000 streams and 2,500 distributions for non-commercial use. No music videos permitted. (b) Premium License — grants expanded non-exclusive rights for up to 1,000,000 streams, 10,000 distributions, and one music video. (c) Exclusive License — grants exclusive rights as specified; the Producer may no longer sell that beat to other buyers after sale. (d) Free Download — grants limited free use as specified by the Producer. All licenses are non-refundable upon download. Licenses are governed by the terms displayed at the time of purchase.
6. Payments & Platform Fees
All payments are processed securely via Stripe. Audioryx collects a platform fee of 15% on Free tier, 12% on Basic tier, 10% on Pro tier, and 5% on Label tier from each sale. Producers receive their earnings minus the applicable platform fee. Payouts are processed via Stripe Connect. Audioryx reserves the right to modify fee structures with 30 days notice. All prices are in USD unless stated otherwise.
7. Beat Boost Service
The Beat Boost feature allows Producers to pay for increased visibility of their beats in search results and genre pages. Boost purchases are non-refundable once activated. Boost duration begins immediately upon payment confirmation. Audioryx does not guarantee specific placement positions or sales results from boost purchases. Boosted placement is subject to Audioryx's discretion in cases of policy violations.
8. Prohibited Conduct
You may not: (a) upload content that infringes copyright, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights; (b) upload content that is defamatory, obscene, or illegal; (c) use automated systems or bots to scrape content or manipulate play counts; (d) resell or sublicense purchased beats beyond the scope of your license; (e) circumvent DRM or technical protection measures; (f) impersonate other users or entities; (g) engage in fraudulent payment activity; (h) upload malware or harmful code; (i) use the platform to harass, threaten, or harm other users.

12. Refund Policy
Digital products (beat licenses and downloads) are non-refundable once delivered. If a beat is removed from the platform after purchase, or if there is a technical failure preventing download, Audioryx will issue a store credit or refund at its discretion. Boost purchases are non-refundable once the boost period has begun. Subscription fees are non-refundable for the current billing period.
13. Account Termination
Audioryx may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to access the Platform ceases immediately. Licenses already purchased by Buyers remain valid even if a Producer's account is terminated. Audioryx may retain certain information as required by law.
14. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms shall be resolved by binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except for claims for injunctive relief which may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction.
