Studio terms and session agreements.

Studio Terms

Authxntic, Inc., Los Angeles. Version v19 2026-10-06.

These Studio Terms govern every booking of Authxntic Studio. They are between Authxntic, Inc., a Delaware corporation trading as Authxntic Music Group, Authxntic Studio and Authxntic Records ("Authxntic", "we", "us"), and the person who books ("you", "the Artist"). Requesting a Booking means you accept them.

How the documents fit together. The Session buys you the room, the people in it and the recording you make. It does not by itself give you the right to release that recording. Where a Producer's Beat is used, the Producer Session Terms apply: the Beat made in the Session is not licensed by the Booking; for 30 days after the Session you alone may license the record, on the Beat Lease or the Exclusive Beat Licence; after that the record joins the label's catalogue under the Catalogue Record Agreement. A Writer in the room adds the Writer Session Agreement. The model behind all of it is explained at How licensing works.

1. Definitions

1.1 The "Room" is Studio A at Authxntic Studio, Los Angeles, with its equipment.

1.2 A "Booking" is your reservation of the Room for a Session, requested and confirmed as section 2 describes. The "Session" is the booked hours in the Room with the Engineer, Producer or Writer you choose.

1.3 The "Session Fee" is the total for the room and the Engineer, Producer or Writer booked with it, charged when we confirm the Booking. A "Licence Fee" is paid separately for a beat licence bought after the Session and is never part of the Session Fee.

1.4 The "Recording" is every audio file made during the Session. The "Session Files" are the project files and raw audio we keep afterwards. The "Master" is the final mixed recording of a song. The "Composition" is the song itself, words and melody.

1.5 The "Beat" is an instrumental a Producer brings to the Session. The "Confirmation" is the email we send when we accept a request.

2. Booking and confirmation

2.1 A Booking starts as a request made on authxntic.com. Your card is authorised for the fees and is not charged. We accept or decline within 24 hours of your request, or by 1 hour before the start time if that is sooner. If we accept, the card is charged and we send the Confirmation. If we decline, or do not answer in time, the authorisation is released and nothing is charged. A booking made with a code for payment in cash follows the same steps, with nothing held.

2.2 Your request and the Confirmation carry a reference in the form AX-000000-XXX. Quote it in any email about the Session.

2.3 A request must start at least 2 hours after it is made. The minimum Booking is 3 hours and the maximum in one Booking is 12 hours, in whole hours from the chosen start time.

2.4 The Session runs from the booked start to the booked end. Time lost by a late arrival is still booked time. Time past the booked end is by agreement in the Room, charged at the same hourly rate in whole hours, and paid before you leave.

2.5 The calendar on the site shows the Room's live availability. A slot is held while a request is pending and by a confirmed Booking.

2.6 The Room is in a private home. Its address is sent with the Confirmation and is for the people attending the Session. Do not share or publish it.

3. Fees and payment

3.1 The rates are the ones shown on the site when you request, in US dollars. The room's hourly rate depends on whether an Engineer, Producer or Writer is booked with it; an Engineer is charged by the hour, and a Producer and a Writer are at no hourly charge. The Session Fee is authorised when you request and charged in full when we confirm, by card through Stripe. With a cash code the whole Session Fee is paid in cash at the Session instead, and nothing is held.

3.2 A Licence Fee is separate from the Session Fee and is paid when a licence is bought after the Session, as section 8 and the Producer Session Terms describe. Nothing for a licence is charged at booking.

3.3 Any sales tax that applies is added at the rate in force.

3.4 A card payment disputed with the card issuer after a Session was delivered is a breach of these terms. We may recover the amount, the dispute fee and our reasonable costs.

3.5 A code that reduces the price reduces the room's fee only, never a person's fee or a Licence Fee. Where we waive the whole Session Fee by a code, the Session is governed by these terms and by the documents for what is booked, the same as any other Session, and nothing about the recording or the composition is agreed separately. The waiver changes only the price.

4. Engineer, producer, writer

4.1 An Engineer is booked by the hour and is in the Room for the Session.

4.2 A Producer brings or makes a Beat and is in the Room at no hourly charge: producers sell beats, and the Beat made in the Session is not licensed by the Booking. The Producer Session Terms say who holds what and how the record is licensed, and section 8 summarises it. One person may be booked as Engineer and Producer, and is charged the Engineer's hourly only.

4.3 A Writer is requested with the Booking, not booked. We confirm or decline the Writer when we answer the request, and the Confirmation says which. If we decline the Writer, the Session goes ahead as booked and you may cancel or move it without charge within 24 hours of the Confirmation, even inside the notice period in section 5. Once confirmed, the Writer Session Agreement applies.

4.4 If someone named on a Booking cannot attend, we tell you as soon as we know and offer a replacement, a new date, or a refund of that person's fee.

5. Cancellation and rescheduling

5.1 To cancel or move a Session, email studio@authxntic.com at least 48 hours before the booked start time. A Session moved with that notice keeps its Fee and takes the new date. A Session cancelled with that notice is refunded in full. You can also cancel with the Cancel button in your Confirmation at any time before the start time; the page shows the refund this section gives, and it is made at once.

5.2 With less than 48 hours' notice the Session is charged at 50% of the Session Fee. Not turning up counts as a late cancellation.

5.3 One move per Booking with notice is free. Further moves are at our discretion.

5.4 If we have to cancel, we offer a new date or refund the Session Fee in full. That is the whole of our liability for a cancellation by us.

5.5 Neither side is in breach for a delay or failure caused by something outside its reasonable control. The Session moves to the first date that works for both sides.

6. The Room: conduct, guests, damage

6.1 The Room is for the people needed for the Session. You are responsible for everyone you bring and for their conduct.

6.2 No smoking or vaping in the Room and no illegal drugs on the premises. We may end a Session for conduct that puts people, the equipment or the building at risk; the Session Fee is not refunded.

6.3 Use the Room and the equipment with care and follow the Engineer's directions on the equipment. Damage beyond normal wear, and any loss of equipment, is charged at the cost of repair or replacement.

6.4 Equipment and media you bring are at your own risk. We are not responsible for loss of or damage to them.

6.5 Our name, marks and photographs of the Room are ours and are not used commercially without our written consent.

7. Your material

7.1 Everything you bring into the Session, lyrics, melodies, beats, samples, files and guest performances, is yours or cleared for the use you make of it. You obtain every consent needed from the people who take part.

7.2 You are responsible for your material. If a claim arises from it, you cover us for the claim and our reasonable costs (section 13).

8. The recording, and the right to release it

8.1 In a room-only or Engineer Session the Recording is yours, and you may release it, once the Session Fee is paid.

8.2 Where a Producer's Beat is used, the Session Fee does not buy the right to release. For 30 days after the Session you alone may license the record: the Beat Lease to release it yourself within its limits, or the Exclusive Beat Licence to hold the Beat alone. The Producer Session Terms say how.

8.3 If no licence is bought within the 30 days, the record joins the label's catalogue under the Catalogue Record Agreement, as you accepted in the Producer Session Terms at booking: the label releases it and shares the receipts as that agreement provides, and its buyback stays open to you at any time.

9. Session files and delivery

9.1 Delivery is by download link to the email on the Booking, within the time agreed in the Session and otherwise within 14 days.

9.2 What you receive depends on the licence: the mixed WAV on the Beat Lease, and the mixed WAV with the stems on the Exclusive Beat Licence and the Catalogue Record Agreement.

9.3 We keep Session Files for 30 days after the Session, then may delete them. Keep your own copy. If you want the multitrack itself, ask before the end of the Session; we may charge for the time to prepare it.

10. Photography and filming

10.1 You may photograph and film your own Session for your own promotion; other people in the Room appear only with their consent.

10.2 We may photograph the Room and, with your consent at the time, the Session, for the Studio's own promotion. Footage we shoot is ours; footage you shoot is yours.

10.3 We may name you, by your professional name, as an artist who has recorded at Authxntic Studio, unless you tell us not to in writing.

11. Records and privacy

11.1 We keep a record of the Booking: name, email, date, hours, what was booked, what was paid and the documents accepted. Card details are held by Stripe, not by us.

11.2 We use the record to run the Session and the business, to send the Confirmation and any notice under these terms, and to account to you under a licence. We do not sell it. Email studio@authxntic.com to see or correct it.

12. Our warranties, and the limits on our liability

12.1 We provide the Room and its equipment in working order, with reasonable care and skill. If equipment fails during a Session and cannot be replaced in the Room, we credit the time lost or refund the Session Fee for the hours lost, at our choice. That is your remedy for a breakdown.

12.2 We are not liable for loss of a Recording or Session Files you did not back up, for a delay outside our reasonable control, or for any indirect loss, including lost income, lost opportunity or lost data.

12.3 Our total liability to you for anything arising from a Session is limited to the Session Fee you paid for that Session.

12.4 Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything the law does not allow us to limit.

13. Indemnity

13.1 You cover us, our people and our contractors against any claim, loss, damage and reasonable cost, including legal fees, arising from your material (section 7), from your conduct or your guests' conduct in the Room (section 6), or from your breach of these terms.

14. Changes to these terms

14.1 We may update these terms. The version you accepted at booking, named in the Confirmation, is the version that applies to that Session. The current version is always at authxntic.com/studio/terms.

15. General

15.1 These terms, the Confirmation and any licence you accept are the whole agreement for the Session. They replace anything said before booking.

15.2 If a clause is unenforceable, the rest stands. A right not exercised is not waived.

15.3 You may not transfer a Booking to someone else without our written agreement. We may transfer our rights to a company that takes over the Studio; your rights are unchanged.

15.4 Notices are by email: to us at studio@authxntic.com, to you at the address on the Booking. A notice is received on the business day it is sent, or the next business day if sent after 6pm Los Angeles time. A cancellation made with the Cancel button takes effect at the moment it is made.

15.5 Ticking the box and sending the request is your electronic signature under the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, and binds you as a written signature would. The Confirmation is our acceptance.

16. Governing law and disputes

16.1 These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, where Authxntic, Inc. is incorporated, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Nothing takes away a protection that the law of the state where you live gives you and does not allow you to waive.

16.2 A dispute is raised first by email to studio@authxntic.com, and both sides try to resolve it within 30 days. What cannot be resolved is heard by the state or federal courts in Los Angeles County, California, and both sides accept that jurisdiction. Either side may bring a claim within the small-claims limit in small claims court.

Producer Session Terms

Authxntic, Inc., Los Angeles. Version v19 2026-10-06.

These terms are between Authxntic, Inc., a Delaware corporation trading as Authxntic Music Group, Authxntic Studio and Authxntic Records, acting as the label ("the Label") and for the producer named on the Booking ("the Producer"), and the person who books ("the Artist"). They are accepted at booking, at no charge, with every producer session.

They add to the Studio Terms, which govern the Room and the Session. They say what the Session gives you, who holds what afterwards, and how the record made in the Session is licensed: by you, within 30 days, or by the label's catalogue after that.

1. Definitions

1.1 The "Beat" is the instrumental the Producer brings to, or makes in, the Session, composed and owned by the Producer.

1.2 The "Record" is the recording made in the Session over the Beat with the Artist's performance, together with its mixes, edits and versions. The "Master" is the final version of the Record.

1.3 The "Composition" is the song written on the Record: the lyrics, the melody and the musical elements of the Beat.

1.4 The "Split Sheet" is the written note, signed by every writer at the Session or at release, recording each writer's share of the Composition.

1.5 The "Territory" is the world.

2. What the Session gives you

2.1 The Producer brings or makes the Beat in the Session and works the Record with the Artist for the booked hours, at no hourly charge: producers sell beats, and the Beat is licensed as section 4 provides. Engineering is booked by the hour under the Studio Terms, and the Producer may hold that role too.

2.2 The Session Fee buys the Session and the Recording as a demo. It does not buy a licence of the Beat, and it does not by itself give the Artist the right to release the Record.

3. Who holds what

3.1 The Beat, and the production of the Record, belong to the Producer and are held through the Label.

3.2 The Artist's performance on the Record belongs to the Artist.

3.3 The demo Master is held by the Artist and the Label together. Neither releases it, licenses it or publishes it on its own. The Artist may play it privately and share it with the people who would work on the Record; the Label may play it to its own team.

3.4 The Composition is shared as the Split Sheet records, and no share is assumed without it. The Label does not release, register or license the Composition, and nothing is paid on it, until every writer has signed the Split Sheet. Each writer keeps their share and registers it with their own performing rights organisation. The Label's publisher's share of 20% applies only to a record in the catalogue under the Catalogue Record Agreement.

4. Your 30 days of first refusal

4.1 For 30 days after the Session the Artist alone may license the Record. In that time the Label does not offer the Record or the Beat to anyone else, and the Producer does not license the Beat for another record.

4.2 The Artist chooses the Beat Lease, a non-exclusive licence to release the Record within its limits for $100, or the Exclusive Beat Licence, under which the Beat is the Artist's alone with no limits, for $500. A lease fee is credited in full against an exclusive taken later.

4.3 To license, the Artist uses the License the record link in the Confirmation, once the Session has taken place: choosing the licence, ticking the box to accept it, and paying the fee on the secure payment page. The licence applies from the day the fee is paid. The Artist may instead ask at studio@authxntic.com.

4.4 The 30 days run from the end of the booked Session, whether or not the Record is finished by then. The Confirmation states the date they end.

5. After the 30 days

5.1 If no licence is bought within the 30 days, the Record joins the Authxntic Records catalogue on the day they end, under the Catalogue Record Agreement: the Label owns the Master and releases the Record, the Beat is retired, and Net Receipts are shared as that agreement provides, 50% to the Artist and 50% to the Label, with the Producer paid by the Label from its share.

5.2 The Artist's right to buy the Record back under the Catalogue Record Agreement, for $1,000, stays open at any time.

5.3 The Artist may ask for the catalogue route before the 30 days end, and the Label may agree it in writing, as the Catalogue Record Agreement section 2.2 provides.

6. Delivery

6.1 The Label delivers the demo mix of the Record to the Artist within 14 days of the Session. The mixed WAV, and the stems where the licence includes them, are delivered once a licence is bought; on the catalogue route the Label finishes and releases the Record itself.

6.2 Session Files are kept for 30 days after the Session, as the Studio Terms provide.

7. Credit

7.1 The Record carries the credit "Produced by" the Producer wherever credits appear. An inadvertent failure to credit is not a breach if it is corrected once the Producer tells the Artist.

8. Warranties and indemnity

8.1 The Artist warrants that the Artist's contribution is original or cleared, that the Artist has the right to enter these terms, and that the Artist is at least 18 or has a guardian's written consent.

8.2 The Label warrants on the Producer's behalf that the Beat is original or cleared and owned by the Producer.

8.3 Each party covers the other against any claim, loss and reasonable cost, including legal fees, arising from a breach of its warranties.

9. General

9.1 These terms, the Studio Terms, the Confirmation and any licence the Artist buys are the whole agreement for the Beat and the Record. If a clause is unenforceable, the rest stands.

9.2 Notices are by email: to the Label at studio@authxntic.com, to the Artist at the address on the Booking.

10. Governing law and disputes

10.1 These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Disputes are raised, and heard, as the Studio Terms section 16 provides.

11. Acceptance

11.1 Ticking the box and requesting the Booking is the Artist's electronic signature. The Confirmation is the Label's acceptance, and the Producer's.

Beat Lease

Authxntic, Inc., Los Angeles. Version v19 2026-10-06.

This Beat Lease is between Authxntic, Inc., a Delaware corporation trading as Authxntic Music Group, Authxntic Studio and Authxntic Records, acting for the producer named on the Booking ("the Producer"), and the person who books ("the Artist"). It is bought after the Session for $100, inside the 30 days the Producer Session Terms give the Artist, separately from the Session Fee.

It adds to the Studio Terms, which govern the Room and the Session. It is the rung that lets you release the record yourself, within limits. If you want the Beat to be yours alone and the limits gone, that is the Exclusive Beat Licence. If you would rather the label took the record, that is the Catalogue Record Agreement.

1. Definitions

1.1 The "Beat" is the instrumental the Producer brings to, or makes in, the Session, composed and owned by the Producer.

1.2 The "Record" is the recording made in the Session over the Beat with the Artist's performance, together with its mixes, edits and versions. The "Master" is the final version of the Record.

1.3 The "Composition" is the song written on the Record: the lyrics, the melody and the musical elements of the Beat.

1.4 The "Split Sheet" is the written note, signed by every writer at the Session or at release, recording each writer's share of the Composition.

1.5 The "Territory" is the world.

2. What you are granted

2.1 The Producer grants the Artist a non-exclusive licence to use the Beat in the Record, and to distribute and stream the Record in the Territory, for the Term.

2.2 The Producer keeps ownership of the Beat and continues to license it to other artists. Other records may exist over the same Beat.

2.3 The Master of the Record belongs to the Artist. The Artist releases it, through any distributor, and is responsible for that release and its registrations.

3. The limits

3.1 Streams of the Record across all audio platforms are capped at 100,000 in total.

3.2 One music video may be made and published using the Record. Short clips of the Record posted on social media, such as a teaser, a reel or a story, do not count as that video.

3.3 The Record is not broadcast on radio, terrestrial or satellite, and is not serviced to radio.

3.4 The Record is not licensed for synchronisation in film, television, advertising, games or brand work. Synchronisation needs the Exclusive Beat Licence or the Catalogue Record Agreement.

3.5 The Beat is not resold, is not used in another recording, and is not registered as the Artist's own work.

3.6 The Record is not enrolled, by the Artist or by a distributor for the Artist, in a service that identifies and claims matching audio on video or social platforms (a content-claim service). Other records may exist over the same Beat, and such a service would claim them.

4. Reaching the cap

4.1 When the Record passes 100,000 streams this licence is suspended, and the Artist stops distributing the Record until a further licence is bought.

4.2 While the Beat has not been sold on an exclusive licence, the Artist may then buy a fresh lease on the same terms, or upgrade to the Exclusive Beat Licence. A fresh lease is a new licence, and once the Beat is sold exclusive no new licence of it is sold: this lease then stays suspended and runs its course. Nothing already released is clawed back and no penalty is charged for passing the cap.

4.3 We do not monitor the Artist's streams. This clause runs on the Artist's own honesty, and the upgrade is offered at the same price to anyone who asks.

5. The Composition

5.1 The Composition is shared as the Split Sheet records, and no share is assumed without it. The Artist releases the Record only once every writer has signed the Split Sheet, at the Session or at release.

5.2 Each writer keeps their own share and registers it with their own performing rights organisation.

5.3 The company takes no share of the Composition on a lease and does not administer it. That applies only to a record in the label's catalogue under the Catalogue Record Agreement.

6. Delivery

6.1 The Label delivers the mixed WAV of the Record within the time agreed at the Session and otherwise within 14 days. Stems are not included on a lease.

7. Credit

7.1 The Record carries the credit "Produced by" the Producer wherever credits appear. An inadvertent failure to credit is not a breach if it is corrected once the Producer tells the Artist.

8. The fee, and upgrading to an exclusive

8.1 If the Artist later takes the Exclusive Beat Licence on the same Beat, the fee paid for this lease is credited in full against the exclusive fee, so only the difference is payable.

8.2 The credit is not limited in time and applies however long the lease has been held.

8.3 The fee is paid when the licence is bought and is not refunded.

9. Warranties and indemnity

9.1 The Artist warrants that the Artist's contribution is original or cleared, that the Artist has the right to enter this agreement, and that the Artist is at least 18 or has a guardian's written consent.

9.2 The Label warrants on the Producer's behalf that the Beat is original or cleared and owned by the Producer.

9.3 Each party covers the other against any claim, loss and reasonable cost, including legal fees, arising from a breach of its warranties.

10. Term and territory

10.1 This licence runs worldwide from the date it is bought, for as long as the limits in section 3 are observed, and ends if it is suspended under section 4 and no further licence is bought.

10.2 Sections that by their nature continue, including the Composition, credit, warranties and indemnity, survive its end.

11. General

11.1 This lease, the Studio Terms and the Confirmation are the whole agreement for the Beat and the Record. If a clause is unenforceable, the rest stands.

11.2 Notices are by email: to the Label at studio@authxntic.com, to the Artist at the address on the Booking.

12. Governing law and disputes

12.1 This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Disputes are raised, and heard, as the Studio Terms section 16 provides.

13. Acceptance

13.1 Choosing the lease and paying the fee — on the License the record page by ticking the box, or by asking the Label by email — is the Artist's electronic signature under the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act. The Label's licence letter, with the receipt, is its acceptance and the Producer's.

Exclusive Beat Licence

Authxntic, Inc., Los Angeles. Version v19 2026-10-06.

This Exclusive Beat Licence is between Authxntic, Inc., a Delaware corporation trading as Authxntic Music Group, Authxntic Studio and Authxntic Records, acting for the producer named on the Booking ("the Producer"), and the person who books ("the Artist"). It is bought after the Session for $500, inside the 30 days the Producer Session Terms give the Artist; the fee is for the Beat alone and is separate from the Session Fee.

It adds to the Studio Terms, which govern the Room and the Session. It is the rung where the Beat becomes yours alone and the limits in the Beat Lease fall away. If you would rather the label took the record instead, that is the Catalogue Record Agreement.

1. Definitions

1.1 The "Beat" is the instrumental the Producer brings to, or makes in, the Session, composed and owned by the Producer.

1.2 The "Record" is the recording made in the Session over the Beat with the Artist's performance, together with its mixes, edits and versions. The "Master" is the final version of the Record.

1.3 The "Composition" is the song written on the Record: the lyrics, the melody and the musical elements of the Beat.

1.4 The "Split Sheet" is the written note, signed by every writer at the Session or at release, recording each writer's share of the Composition.

1.5 The "Territory" is the world.

2. The licence and the fee

2.1 For the fee of $500, paid separately from the Session Fee, the Producer grants the Artist an exclusive licence of the Beat, worldwide and in perpetuity, to record the Record over it and to exploit the Record in every medium.

2.2 Where the Artist already holds the Beat Lease on the same Beat, the fee paid for that lease is credited in full against this one.

2.3 The fee is paid when the licence is bought and is not refunded.

3. Exclusivity

3.1 From the date this licence is bought the Producer does not license the Beat to anyone else, and withdraws it from every catalogue and store where it is listed within 7 days.

3.2 Non-exclusive leases of the same Beat granted before this date run their course and are not renewed: a renewal is a new licence, and none is sold once this licence is bought. The Label discloses every such lease to the Artist before the Artist buys, and keeps a register of every lease of each Beat.

3.3 The Producer keeps copyright in the Beat and the share of the Composition in section 5. The Artist does not resell the Beat on its own, license it for another artist's recording, or register it as the Artist's own work.

4. What you may do

4.1 There is no cap on streams, downloads or units.

4.2 The Record may be broadcast on radio and used in any number of music videos.

4.3 The Record may be licensed for synchronisation in film, television, advertising, games and brand work, and the Artist may clear that sync directly, since the Beat is licensed to nobody else.

4.4 The Master of the Record belongs to the Artist, who releases it through any distributor and is responsible for that release and its registrations.

5. The Composition

5.1 The Composition is shared as the Split Sheet records, and no share is assumed without it. The Artist releases the Record only once every writer has signed the Split Sheet, at the Session or at release.

5.2 Each writer keeps their own share and registers it with their own performing rights organisation.

5.3 The company takes no share of the Composition on an exclusive and does not administer it. That applies only to a record in the label's catalogue under the Catalogue Record Agreement.

6. Delivery

6.1 The Label delivers the mixed WAV of the Record and its stems within the time agreed at the Session and otherwise within 14 days, once the fee is paid.

7. Credit

7.1 The Record carries the credit "Produced by" the Producer wherever credits appear. An inadvertent failure to credit is not a breach if it is corrected once the Producer tells the Artist.

8. Warranties and indemnity

8.1 The Artist warrants that the Artist's contribution is original or cleared, that the Artist has the right to enter this agreement, and that the Artist is at least 18 or has a guardian's written consent.

8.2 The Label warrants on the Producer's behalf that the Beat is original or cleared, owned by the Producer, and, apart from any earlier lease disclosed under section 3.2, licensed to nobody else.

8.3 Each party covers the other against any claim, loss and reasonable cost, including legal fees, arising from a breach of its warranties.

9. Term and territory

9.1 The licence is worldwide and perpetual. This agreement runs for the life of copyright in the Beat and the Composition. Sections that by their nature continue survive its end.

10. Termination

10.1 The Producer and the Label may end this licence only if the fee is not paid and remains unpaid 30 days after a written notice. In every other case a breach gives a claim for damages, not a right to end the licence, so the Artist's release is never put at risk by a dispute.

11. General

11.1 This licence, the Studio Terms and the Confirmation are the whole agreement for the Beat and the Record. If a clause is unenforceable, the rest stands.

11.2 The Artist may transfer the Master and this licence with it to a label or distributor releasing the Record, and tells the Label in writing when that happens.

11.3 Notices are by email: to the Label at studio@authxntic.com, to the Artist at the address on the Booking.

12. Governing law and disputes

12.1 This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Disputes are raised, and heard, as the Studio Terms section 16 provides.

13. Acceptance

13.1 Choosing the exclusive and paying the fee — on the License the record page by ticking the box, or by asking the Label by email — is the Artist's electronic signature under the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act. The Label's licence letter, with the receipt, is its acceptance and the Producer's.

Catalogue Record Agreement

Authxntic, Inc., Los Angeles. Version v19 2026-10-06.

This agreement is between Authxntic, Inc., a Delaware corporation trading as Authxntic Music Group, Authxntic Studio and Authxntic Records, acting as the label ("the Label"), the producer named on the Booking ("the Producer"), and the person who books ("the Artist"). It applies to a record made over the Producer's Beat that the Artist did not license within the 30 days after the Session, as the Producer Session Terms provide, and it can also be agreed in writing at any time. It is not bought in the cart, because it hands the Label a master.

It adds to the Studio Terms, which govern the Room and the Session. It is the door where the Beat costs nothing and the Label takes the Record into the Authxntic Records catalogue. The alternatives, where the Artist keeps the Master, are the Beat Lease and the Exclusive Beat Licence.

1. Definitions

1.1 The "Beat" is the instrumental the Producer brings to, or makes in, the Session, composed and owned by the Producer.

1.2 The "Record" is the recording made in the Session over the Beat with the Artist's performance, together with its mixes, edits and versions. The "Master" is the final version of the Record.

1.3 The "Composition" is the song written on the Record: the lyrics, the melody and the musical elements of the Beat.

1.4 The "Split Sheet" is the written note, signed by every writer at the Session or at release, recording each writer's share of the Composition.

1.5 The "Territory" is the world.

1.6 "Net Receipts" are all sums the Label actually receives from the Record, less distributor and platform fees, mechanical royalties paid to third parties, sales taxes, and third-party costs the Artist approved in writing.

2. What this is

2.1 The Artist pays no fee for the Beat. In exchange the Label takes the Master, releases the Record through Authxntic Records, and shares what the Record earns as section 5 provides.

2.2 It takes effect on the day the 30 days in the Producer Session Terms end without a licence, on the terms the Artist accepted at booking, or on the day the three parties agree it in writing. It is not offered in the booking cart.

2.3 Where the Record was released through a distributor before this agreement is made, the Artist assigns the Master to the Label on the day this agreement is made, and section 3.1 applies from that day. The Label names in writing each service the distributor provides on the Record or the Composition that is to end, and the Artist gives the distributor notice ending each one within 7 days. The Label's rights under sections 3 and 7 in what a service covered begin on the day it ends; until then that service is not a breach of section 13.1. What the distributor pays for a service the Label lets run is Net Receipts or publishing income under sections 5 and 7, and the Artist passes it to the Label within 30 days of receiving it. A licence the distributor issued before this agreement runs its course, and money earned before then stays with the Artist and the writers.

3. The Master

3.1 The Master is owned by the Label from the moment it is made.

3.2 The Label may distribute, stream, sell, license, promote and make versions of the Record in the Territory during the Term, including licensing it for film, television, advertising, games and brand work.

3.3 The Artist approves the mix before release. A mix not objected to in writing within 7 days of delivery is approved. Release timing, artwork consistent with the Artist's identity, and marketing are the Label's decisions, taken in consultation with the Artist.

3.4 For a licence of the Record in a political, religious, tobacco, firearms or adult context the Label asks the Artist first and does not proceed without written consent.

4. The Beat is retired

4.1 From the date this agreement is made the Producer retires the Beat: it is withdrawn from sale and is not licensed to anyone else, ever.

4.2 This is what keeps the catalogue clean to license. Because no other record exists or will exist over the Beat, the Label can clear synchronisation on the Record without a competing version standing in the way.

4.3 Where the Artist already released the Record under the Beat Lease, the Beat is retired on the day this agreement is made and the lease ends, its limits falling away.

5. Money

5.1 There is no fee for the Beat and no hourly charge for the Producer. The Artist pays the Session Fee for the room and any Engineer under the Studio Terms.

5.2 Net Receipts from the Record are shared 50% to the Artist and 50% to the Label. The Producer is paid by the Label from the Label's share; the Artist owes the Producer nothing further.

5.3 The Label bears distribution and release costs. Nothing is recouped from the Artist's share except the deductions in the definition of Net Receipts.

6. Accounting

6.1 The Label accounts to the Artist twice a year, for the periods ending 30 June and 31 December, with a statement of receipts sent within 60 days of the period end and payment within 30 days of the statement. A balance under $25 carries forward.

6.2 The Artist may have the Label's books for the Record examined by an accountant once a year on 30 days' written notice, at the Artist's cost. A statement is final 24 months after it is sent unless a written objection is made before then.

6.3 Each side is responsible for its own taxes. The Label may withhold where the law requires and needs a completed tax form from the Artist before the first payment.

7. Publishing and the Composition

7.1 The writers of the Composition and their shares are as recorded on the Split Sheet, and no share is assumed without it. The Label does not release, register or license the Record or the Composition, and nothing is paid on the Composition, until every writer has signed the Split Sheet, at the Session or at release.

7.2 Each writer keeps their writer's share and registers it with their own performing rights organisation.

7.3 The Label administers the Composition in the Territory for the Term: it registers it, licenses it and collects for it, and keeps 20% of the publishing income as its publisher's share. The rest is paid to the writers in their shares, with the accounting in section 6.

7.4 The writers grant the Label a mechanical licence for the Composition in the Record at the statutory rate, or as the law of the country of sale provides.

7.5 Samples and interpolations in the Beat or in the Artist's contribution are cleared before the Session, and the party who brought them holds the clearance.

7.6 The Label may appoint a publisher or an administrator to carry out its administration under section 7.3, for the Composition alone or with other compositions in its catalogue, in all or part of the Territory, without the writers' further consent. The appointee's fee is paid from the Label's publisher's share, so the writers' shares under section 7.3 do not change. The Label stays responsible to the writers for the payments and the accounting in section 6, and tells them in writing whom it appointed.

8. The Artist's right to buy the Record back

8.1 The Artist may buy the Record back from the Label at any time for $1,000, which is twice the exclusive beat fee.

8.2 On payment the Label assigns the Master to the Artist and the Producer grants the Artist an exclusive licence of the Beat on the terms of the Exclusive Beat Licence, so the Artist owns the recording and holds the Beat alone. Of the $1,000, 80% ($800) is paid to the Producer for that exclusive licence, and the Label keeps the rest ($200) for the Master.

8.3 The Label's publishing share and its administration of the Composition under section 7 continue after a buyback. Sums already earned and owed are accounted for in the ordinary way.

8.4 There is no window and no notice period. The right is exercisable whenever the Artist can pay it.

9. Release commitment and reversion

9.1 The Label releases the Record within 12 months of the later of the Artist's mix approval and the last writer's signature on the Split Sheet.

9.2 If it does not, the Artist may give written notice. If the Record is still unreleased 60 days after that notice, ownership of the Master returns to the Artist at no cost, this agreement ends for that Record, and the Producer grants the Artist an exclusive licence of the Beat on the terms of the Exclusive Beat Licence. The Producer's share of the Composition and the credit in section 10 survive.

10. Credit

10.1 The Record carries the credits "Produced by" the Producer and "Authxntic Records" wherever credits appear and are within the Label's control: platform metadata, liner notes and sync cue sheets.

10.2 An inadvertent failure to credit is not a breach if it is corrected in future copies and listings once the Label is told.

11. Name and likeness

11.1 The Artist grants the Label the right to use the Artist's professional name, approved likeness and biography to promote the Record and the Label's catalogue during the Term. Approval of a new photograph is not unreasonably withheld. The Artist's trademarks stay the Artist's.

12. Term

12.1 This agreement runs from its date for the life of copyright in the Master in each country of the Territory, unless the Master is bought back under section 8, reverts under section 9, or the agreement ends under section 13.

12.2 Sections that by their nature continue, including money owed, accounting, warranties, indemnity and credit, survive the end of the agreement.

13. Warranties and indemnity

13.1 The Artist warrants that the Artist's contribution is original or cleared, that the Artist has the right to enter this agreement and is not bound by an exclusive recording or publishing agreement that conflicts with it, and that the Artist is at least 18 or has a guardian's written consent.

13.2 The Producer warrants that the Beat is original or cleared and owned by the Producer, and that it is free of any licence that would put another record over it.

13.3 The Label warrants that it has the authority to enter this agreement and will account as section 6 provides.

13.4 Each party covers the others against any claim, loss and reasonable cost, including legal fees, arising from a breach of its warranties.

14. Termination

14.1 If a party is in material breach and does not cure it within 30 days of a written notice describing the breach, the party giving notice may end this agreement by a further written notice.

14.2 If the agreement ends for breach, ownership of the Master returns to the Artist on the date it ends; copies already in distribution may be sold through for 6 months, and the Label accounts for them under section 6. The Producer's exclusive licence of the Beat to the Artist, share and credit survive as in section 9.2.

15. General

15.1 This agreement, the Studio Terms and the Confirmation are the whole agreement for the Record and the Composition.

15.2 If a clause is unenforceable, the rest stands. A right not exercised is not waived. Nothing here makes the parties partners or agents of each other.

15.3 The Artist may not transfer this agreement. The Label may transfer its rights in the Master and the Composition to a company that takes over its catalogue, and tells the Artist in writing when it does.

15.4 Notices are by email: to the Label at studio@authxntic.com, to the Artist at the address on the Booking.

16. Governing law and disputes

16.1 This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Disputes are raised, and heard, as the Studio Terms section 16 provides.

17. Acceptance

17.1 Signing this agreement, electronically or on paper, binds each party as a written signature would. For a record that reaches the catalogue because no licence was bought in time, the Artist's acceptance of the Producer Session Terms at booking is the Artist's signature here.

Writer Session Agreement

Authxntic, Inc., Los Angeles. Version v19 2026-10-06.

This agreement is between Authxntic, Inc., a Delaware corporation trading as Authxntic Music Group, Authxntic Studio and Authxntic Records, acting as the label ("the Label"), the writer named on the Booking ("the Writer"), and the person who books ("the Artist").

It adds to the Studio Terms, which govern the Room and the Session, and is about the Composition only. It does not change the Producer's terms: the Producer Session Terms, and whichever of the Beat Lease, the Exclusive Beat Licence or the Catalogue Record Agreement comes to apply to the Record, apply unchanged.

1. Definitions

1.1 The "Composition" is the song written or completed in the Session: words and melody, and the musical elements of any Beat the Session is built on.

1.2 The "Split Sheet" is the written note, signed by every writer at the Session or at release, recording each writer's share of the Composition.

1.3 The "Request" is the Artist's request for the Writer made at booking. The "Confirmation" is the Label's email confirming the Booking under the Studio Terms; it says whether the Writer is confirmed.

2. The request and its confirmation

2.1 The Writer is requested at booking, at no charge. The Label confirms or declines the Writer when it answers the booking request, and the Confirmation says which. Until a Confirmation confirms the Writer this agreement has no effect and the Session goes ahead as booked under the Studio Terms.

2.2 If the Label declines the Writer, the Studio Terms section 4.3 lets the Artist cancel or move the Session without charge within 24 hours of the Confirmation.

3. The Session

3.1 Once confirmed, the Writer works with the Artist in the Room for the booked hours on the Artist's material.

3.2 Ideas the Writer brings that are not used in the Composition stay the Writer's. Ideas the Artist brings that are not used stay the Artist's.

4. The Composition

4.1 The Composition is a co-write. The shares of the Artist, the Writer and any Producer whose Beat is part of it are the ones the Split Sheet records, and no share is assumed without it. The Label does not release, register or license the Composition, and nothing is paid on it, until every writer has signed the Split Sheet, at the Session or at release.

4.2 Each writer keeps their own share and registers it with their own performing rights organisation.

5. Publishing

5.1 Where the Record is taken into the label's catalogue under the Catalogue Record Agreement, the Label administers the Composition and keeps 20% of the publishing income as its publisher's share.

5.2 On a Record released by the Artist under the Beat Lease or the Exclusive Beat Licence, the company takes no share of the Composition and does not administer it. The writers keep and register their own shares.

6. Uses of the Composition

6.1 The Artist may record the Composition, and release it once every writer has signed the Split Sheet. The Writer may record it too, but does not release, or license another artist to release, a recording of the Composition until 12 months after the Artist's first release, or 18 months after the Session if the Artist has not released it by then.

6.2 Neither writer registers or releases the Composition under another writer's name or without the credit in section 7.

7. Credit

7.1 The Writer is credited as a writer of the Composition wherever the Composition's credits appear. An inadvertent failure to credit is not a breach if it is corrected once the Writer tells the Artist.

8. Warranties and indemnity

8.1 The Artist and the Writer each warrant that their contribution is original or cleared, that they have the right to enter this agreement, and that they are not bound by a publishing agreement that conflicts with it. Each covers the others against any claim, loss and reasonable cost, including legal fees, arising from a breach of that warranty.

9. Term

9.1 This agreement runs for the life of copyright in the Composition in each country. Sections that by their nature continue, including publishing, credit, warranties and indemnity, survive its end.

10. General

10.1 This agreement, the Studio Terms and the Confirmation are the whole agreement for the Composition. If a clause is unenforceable, the rest stands.

10.2 Notices are by email: to the Label at studio@authxntic.com, to the Artist at the address on the Booking, to the Writer at the address the Label holds.

11. Governing law and disputes

11.1 This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Disputes are raised, and heard, as the Studio Terms section 16 provides.

12. Acceptance

12.1 Ticking the box and completing the booking is the Artist's electronic signature. A Confirmation that confirms the Writer is the Label's acceptance, and the Writer's.

Beat Lease

Authxntic, Inc., Los Angeles. Version v19 2026-10-06.

This Beat Lease is a direct licence between Authxntic, Inc., a Delaware corporation trading as Authxntic Music Group, Authxntic Studio and Authxntic Records, acting for the creators the pricing rider names (the Producer, and any Songwriter or Musician it names), and the person or company the pricing rider names as the licensee ("the Client"). It licenses the Record the pricing rider identifies for the Fee stated there, and it takes effect when the whole Fee is paid.

This is a bespoke, negotiated licence, not part of a studio booking: there is no Session, no booking and no first-refusal window. The parties, the Record, the Work, the Fee and the Composition split are the ones the Client and Authxntic agreed and the pricing rider records. The acceptance recorded with this licence carries a cryptographic proof binding this exact text, the Fee and the parties.

1. Definitions

1.1 "Authxntic", "we" or "the Label" is Authxntic, Inc., a Delaware corporation trading as Authxntic Music Group, Authxntic Studio and Authxntic Records, granting this licence for the creators the pricing rider names.

1.2 The "pricing rider" is the statement at the head of this document naming the Record, the creators, the Client, the Fee and the Composition split for this deal. It is part of this licence.

1.3 The "Producer" is the producer the pricing rider names as the maker of the Beat, who keeps the copyright in the Beat. The "Songwriter" is any songwriter the pricing rider names as the writer of the Topline, who keeps the copyright in it. The "Musician" is any musician the pricing rider names for a part played on the Record.

1.4 The "Client" is the person or company the pricing rider names as the licensee, who accepts these terms and pays the Fee.

1.5 The "Beat" is the instrumental the pricing rider identifies, composed and owned by the Producer. The "Topline" is the melody and lyrics the pricing rider identifies as written by the Songwriter. The "Work" is what the pricing rider says is licensed: the Beat, the Topline, or both.

1.6 The "Record" is the recording the pricing rider identifies that uses the Work, together with its mixes, edits and versions. The "Master" is the final version of the Record.

1.7 The "Composition" is the song embodied in the Record: the lyrics, the melody and the musical elements of the Beat, shared as the pricing rider records.

1.8 The "Fee" is the amount, or the amounts, the pricing rider states for this licence, with any part stated as payable up front and whether that part is refundable.

1.9 The "Territory" is the world. The "Term" is as stated in this licence.

2. What you are granted

2.1 The creators the pricing rider names grant the Client a non-exclusive licence to use the Work in the Record, and to distribute and stream the Record in the Territory, for the Term.

2.2 The Producer keeps ownership of the Beat and the Songwriter of the Topline, and each may continue to license their work to other artists. Other records may exist over the same Work.

2.3 The Master of the Record belongs to the Client, who releases it through any distributor and is responsible for that release and its registrations.

3. The limits

3.1 Streams of the Record across all audio platforms are capped at 100,000 in total.

3.2 One music video may be made and published using the Record. Short clips of the Record posted on social media, such as a teaser, a reel or a story, do not count as that video.

3.3 The Record is not broadcast on radio, terrestrial or satellite, and is not serviced to radio.

3.4 The Record is not licensed for synchronisation in film, television, advertising, games or brand work. Synchronisation needs an exclusive licence.

3.5 The Work is not resold, is not used in another recording, and is not registered as the Client's own work.

3.6 The Record is not enrolled, by the Client or by a distributor for the Client, in a service that identifies and claims matching audio on video or social platforms (a content-claim service). Other records may exist over the same Work, and such a service would claim them.

4. Reaching the cap

4.1 When the Record passes 100,000 streams this licence is suspended, and the Client stops distributing the Record until a further licence is bought.

4.2 While the Work has not been licensed exclusively, the Client may then take a fresh lease on the same terms, or an Exclusive Beat Licence for the Work. A fresh lease is a new licence, and once the Work is licensed exclusively no new licence of it is granted: this lease then stays suspended and runs its course. Nothing already released is clawed back and no penalty is charged for passing the cap.

4.3 We do not monitor the Client's streams. This clause runs on the Client's own honesty.

5. The Composition

5.1 The Composition is shared as the pricing rider records. The pricing rider names every writer's share, the Client's included, and no share is assumed: a licence that leaves a writer out is not offered. Where the Record was made outside a studio booking, its shares are written afterwards, before this licence is agreed.

5.2 Each writer keeps their own share and registers it with their own performing rights organisation.

5.3 Authxntic takes no share of the Composition on a lease and does not administer it.

6. Delivery

6.1 Authxntic delivers the mixed WAV of the Record within 14 days of the whole Fee being paid. Stems are not included on a lease.

7. Credit

7.1 The Record carries the credit "Produced by" the Producer, and "Written by" the Songwriter where the Work includes the Topline, wherever credits appear. An inadvertent failure to credit is not a breach if it is corrected once the creator tells the Client.

8. The Fee, and upgrading to an exclusive

8.1 The Fee is stated in the pricing rider and is paid to take up this licence, which takes effect when the whole Fee is paid. Once it has taken effect the Fee is not refunded.

8.2 Where the pricing rider marks a fee, or the part of it paid up front, as refundable, that part is returned if the Client does not complete the Fee. A part marked not refundable is kept.

8.3 If the Client later takes an Exclusive Beat Licence on the same Work from Authxntic, the Fee paid for this lease is credited in full against the exclusive fee, so only the difference is payable.

9. Warranties and indemnity

9.1 The Client warrants that the Client's own contribution to the Record is original or cleared, that the Client has the right to enter this agreement, and that the Client is at least 18 or has a guardian's written consent.

9.2 The Label warrants on the creators' behalf that the Work is original or cleared and owned by them.

9.3 Each party covers the other against any claim, loss and reasonable cost, including legal fees, arising from a breach of its warranties.

10. Term and territory

10.1 This licence runs worldwide from the date the whole Fee is paid, for as long as the limits in section 3 are observed, and ends if it is suspended under section 4 and no further licence is bought.

10.2 Sections that by their nature continue, including the Composition, credit, warranties and indemnity, survive its end.

11. General

11.1 This licence, with its pricing rider, and the invoice are the whole agreement between the parties for the Work and the Record. If a clause is unenforceable, the rest stands.

11.2 Notices are by email: to Authxntic at studio@authxntic.com, to the Client at the email address the pricing rider gives, or otherwise the address on the invoice.

12. Governing law and disputes

12.1 This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of that State.

13. Acceptance

13.1 Ticking the box on the deal page, or confirming by email, and paying the Fee is the Client's electronic signature under the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act. Authxntic's issue of this licence and the invoice is its acceptance, and the creators'. The acceptance is recorded with a SHA-256 proof over this exact text, the Fee and the parties.

Exclusive Beat Licence

Authxntic, Inc., Los Angeles. Version v19 2026-10-06.

This Exclusive Beat Licence is a direct licence between Authxntic, Inc., a Delaware corporation trading as Authxntic Music Group, Authxntic Studio and Authxntic Records, acting for the creators the pricing rider names (the Producer, and any Songwriter or Musician it names), and the person or company the pricing rider names as the licensee ("the Client"). It licenses the Record the pricing rider identifies for the Fee stated there, and it takes effect when the whole Fee is paid.

This is a bespoke, negotiated licence, not part of a studio booking: there is no Session, no booking and no first-refusal window. The parties, the Record, the Work, the Fee and the Composition split are the ones the Client and Authxntic agreed and the pricing rider records. The acceptance recorded with this licence carries a cryptographic proof binding this exact text, the Fee and the parties.

1.5 The "Beat" is the instrumental the pricing rider identifies, composed and owned by the Producer. The "Topline" is the melody and lyrics the pricing rider identifies as written by the Songwriter. The "Work" is what the pricing rider says is licensed: the Beat, the Topline, or both.

1.7 The "Composition" is the song embodied in the Record: the lyrics, the melody and the musical elements of the Beat, shared as the pricing rider records.

1.8 The "Fee" is the amount, or the amounts, the pricing rider states for this licence, with any part stated as payable up front and whether that part is refundable.

1.9 The "Territory" is the world. The "Term" is as stated in this licence.

2. The licence and the Fee

2.1 For the Fee stated in the pricing rider, the creators the pricing rider names grant the Client an exclusive licence of the Work, worldwide and in perpetuity, to record the Record over it and to exploit the Record in every medium.

2.2 Where the Client already holds a Beat Lease on the same Work from Authxntic, the fee paid for that lease is credited in full against this Fee.

2.3 The Fee is paid to take up this licence, which takes effect when the whole Fee is paid. Once it has taken effect the Fee is not refunded. Where the pricing rider marks a fee, or the part of it paid up front, as refundable, that part is returned if the Client does not complete the Fee; a part marked not refundable is kept.

3. Exclusivity

3.1 From the date the whole Fee is paid the creators do not license the Work to anyone else, and each creator withdraws their part of the Work, the Beat, the Topline or both, from every catalogue and store where it is listed within 7 days.

3.2 Any non-exclusive lease of the same Work granted before that date runs its course and is not renewed: a renewal is a new licence, and none is granted once this licence takes effect. Authxntic discloses every such lease to the Client before the Client pays, and keeps a register of every lease of the Work.

3.3 The Producer keeps copyright in the Beat and the Songwriter in the Topline, with the shares of the Composition in section 5. The Client does not resell the Work on its own, license it for another artist's recording, or register it as the Client's own work.

4. What you may do

4.1 There is no cap on streams, downloads or units.

4.2 The Record may be broadcast on radio and used in any number of music videos.

4.3 The Record may be licensed for synchronisation in film, television, advertising, games and brand work, and the Client may clear that sync directly, since the Work is licensed to nobody else.

4.4 The Master of the Record belongs to the Client, who releases it through any distributor and is responsible for that release and its registrations.

5. The Composition

5.1 The Composition is shared as the pricing rider records. The pricing rider names every writer's share, the Client's included, and no share is assumed: a licence that leaves a writer out is not offered. Where the Record was made outside a studio booking, its shares are written afterwards, before this licence is agreed.

5.2 Each writer keeps their own share and registers it with their own performing rights organisation.

5.3 Authxntic takes no share of the Composition on an exclusive and does not administer it.

6. Delivery

6.1 Authxntic delivers the mixed WAV of the Record and its stems within 14 days of the whole Fee being paid.

7. Credit

7.1 The Record carries the credit "Produced by" the Producer, and "Written by" the Songwriter where the Work includes the Topline, wherever credits appear. An inadvertent failure to credit is not a breach if it is corrected once the creator tells the Client.

8. Warranties and indemnity

8.1 The Client warrants that the Client's own contribution to the Record is original or cleared, that the Client has the right to enter this agreement, and that the Client is at least 18 or has a guardian's written consent.

8.2 The Label warrants on the creators' behalf that the Work is original or cleared, owned by them, and, apart from any earlier lease disclosed under section 3.2, licensed to nobody else.

8.3 Each party covers the other against any claim, loss and reasonable cost, including legal fees, arising from a breach of its warranties.

9. Term and territory

9.1 The licence is worldwide and perpetual. This agreement runs for the life of copyright in the Work and the Composition. Sections that by their nature continue survive its end.

10. Termination

10.1 The creators and the Label may end this licence only if the Fee, or a part of it, is not paid and remains unpaid 30 days after a written notice. In every other case a breach gives a claim for damages, not a right to end the licence, so the Client's release is never put at risk by a dispute.

11. General

11.1 This licence, with its pricing rider, and the invoice are the whole agreement between the parties for the Work and the Record. If a clause is unenforceable, the rest stands.

11.2 The Client may transfer the Master and this licence with it to a label or distributor releasing the Record, and tells Authxntic in writing when that happens.

11.3 Notices are by email: to Authxntic at studio@authxntic.com, to the Client at the email address the pricing rider gives, or otherwise the address on the invoice.

12. Governing law and disputes

12.1 This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of that State.

13. Acceptance

13.1 Ticking the box on the deal page, or confirming by email, and paying the Fee is the Client's electronic signature under the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act. Authxntic's issue of this licence and the invoice is its acceptance, and the creators'. The acceptance is recorded with a SHA-256 proof over this exact text, the Fee and the parties.

Placement Agreement

Authxntic, Inc., Los Angeles. Version v19 2026-10-06.

This Placement Agreement is between Authxntic, Inc., a Delaware corporation trading as Authxntic Music Group, Authxntic Studio and Authxntic Records ("Authxntic"), and the person or company the pricing rider names as the client ("the Client"). Authxntic arranges the placement of the Work the pricing rider identifies, made by the creators it names, with the Client, for the Fee stated there.

This is a bespoke, negotiated arrangement, not part of a studio booking: there is no Session, no booking and no first-refusal window. Authxntic acts for the creators in arranging the placement and collecting the Fee; the rights the Client takes in the Work come from the creators, under the licence the pricing rider names. The acceptance recorded with this agreement carries a cryptographic proof binding this exact text, the Fee and the parties.

1. Definitions

1.1 The "pricing rider" is the statement at the head of this document naming the Record, the creators, the Client, the Fee and the licence for this placement. It is part of this agreement.

1.2 The "creators" are the producer, songwriter and musicians the pricing rider names, each of whom keeps the copyright in their own work. The "Work" is what the pricing rider says is placed: the Beat, the Topline, or both. The "Record" is the recording the pricing rider identifies that uses the Work.

1.3 The "Placement" is the Client's engagement of the Work for the Record, arranged by Authxntic under this agreement.

1.4 The "Fee" is the amount, or the amounts, the pricing rider states, with any part stated as payable up front and whether that part is refundable. Where the pricing rider names a facilitation fee, that is Authxntic's own charge to the Client for arranging the Placement.

1.5 The "Territory" is the world.

2. What Authxntic does

2.1 Authxntic arranges the Placement between the creators and the Client, invoices and collects the Fee, and accounts to the creators for their shares of it. The division of the Fee between Authxntic and the creators is a matter between them and does not concern the Client.

2.2 Authxntic does not itself license the Work. The licence is the one the pricing rider names: a licence document captured with this agreement and granted for the creators on its own terms, or the Client's own signed contract with the creators, which the pricing rider identifies by its SHA-256 fingerprint and Authxntic holds with this agreement. No Placement is invoiced until its licence is attached, and this agreement does not enlarge or reduce that licence.

2.3 Authxntic is not the Client's agent, employee or partner, and does not act for the Client in any negotiation with the creators.

3. The Fee and payment

3.1 The Fee is stated in the pricing rider and is paid to Authxntic, by the method it states. Any part stated as payable up front is due before the Placement proceeds; the rest is due before delivery of the Work, as the pricing rider provides.

3.2 The Placement takes effect, and any licence document captured with this agreement takes effect, when the whole Fee is paid. The Client's own contract takes effect on its own terms.

3.3 Where the pricing rider marks a fee, or the part of it paid up front, as refundable, that part is returned if the Client does not complete the Fee. A part marked not refundable is kept. Once the Placement has taken effect the Fee is not refunded.

3.4 Any sales tax that applies is added at the rate in force. A card payment disputed with the card issuer after the Work has been delivered is a breach of this agreement, and Authxntic may recover the amount, the dispute fee and its reasonable costs.

4. Delivery

4.1 The Work is delivered to the Client by the creators, or through Authxntic on their behalf, within 14 days of the whole Fee being paid, in the form the pricing rider or its licence states, and otherwise as a mixed WAV.

4.2 Authxntic holds no session files of its own for a Work it did not produce. Delivery of anything beyond what is stated is a matter between the Client and the creators.

5. Credit

5.1 The Record carries the credits the creators require, and at least "Produced by" the producer and "Written by" the songwriter the pricing rider names, wherever credits appear. An inadvertent failure to credit is not a breach if it is corrected once the creator or Authxntic tells the Client.

6. Warranties and liability

6.1 Authxntic warrants that it is authorised by the creators to arrange the Placement and collect the Fee, and that it will account to them for their shares.

6.2 The Client warrants that the Client's own contribution to the Record is original or cleared, that the Client has the right to enter this agreement, and that the Client is at least 18 or has a guardian's written consent.

6.3 The creators' warranties as to the Work, that it is original or cleared and owned by them, are given by the creators in the licence the pricing rider names; Authxntic passes them on and does not itself warrant title to the Work.

6.4 Authxntic's total liability to the Client for anything arising from this agreement is limited to the part of the Fee the Client has paid to Authxntic. Authxntic is not liable for any indirect loss, including lost income, lost opportunity or lost data. Nothing limits liability for fraud, or for anything the law does not allow to be limited.

6.5 Each party covers the other against any claim, loss and reasonable cost, including legal fees, arising from a breach of its own warranties.

7. Term

7.1 This agreement runs from acceptance until the Fee is paid in full and the Work is delivered, and its sections on the Fee, credit, warranties and liability continue afterwards. The licence the pricing rider names runs on its own terms.

8. General

8.1 This agreement, with its pricing rider and the licence the pricing rider names, and the invoice are the whole agreement between the Client and Authxntic for the Placement. If a clause is unenforceable, the rest stands. A right not exercised is not waived.

8.2 Notices are by email: to Authxntic at studio@authxntic.com, to the Client at the email address the pricing rider gives, or otherwise the address on the invoice.

9. Governing law and disputes

9.1 This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of that State.

10. Acceptance

10.1 Ticking the box on the deal page, or confirming by email, and paying the Fee is the Client's electronic signature under the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act. Authxntic's issue of this agreement and the invoice is its acceptance. The acceptance is recorded with a SHA-256 proof over this exact text, the Fee and the parties.

Producer Agreement

Authxntic, Inc., Los Angeles. Version v19 2026-10-06.

This Producer Agreement is between Authxntic, Inc., a Delaware corporation trading as Authxntic Music Group, Authxntic Studio and Authxntic Records ("the Label"), and the producer the parties rider names ("the Producer"), for the record it names. It says what the Producer keeps, what the Label may do with the Beat and the Record, and how the money is shared.

It carries the terms the Label and its producers already work to: the producer keeps the Beat and the share of the Composition the Split Sheet records, the Label licenses the Work to clients and places it, collects the fees and passes the Producer's share on, and a record that joins the catalogue is shared as the Catalogue Record Agreement provides.

1. Definitions

1.1 "Authxntic" or "the Label" is Authxntic, Inc., a Delaware corporation trading as Authxntic Music Group, Authxntic Studio and Authxntic Records. "The Producer" is the creator the parties rider names, on the record it names.

1.2 The "parties rider" is the statement at the head of this document naming the Label, the creator, the record and the version accepted. It is part of this agreement.

1.3 The "Record" is the recording the parties rider names, together with its mixes, edits and versions. The "Beat" is an instrumental composed by a producer; the "Topline" is a melody and lyrics written by a songwriter; the "Work" is what the creator contributed to the Record.

1.4 A "Deal" is a licence or a placement of the Work the Label makes with a client on its deal pages, whose pricing rider states the fees and, internally, each party's share of them. The "Deals ledger" is the Label's record of every Deal, its payments and who is owed what.

1.5 The "Composition" is the song embodied in the Record. The "Split Sheet" is the written note, signed by every writer, recording each writer's share of it.

2. What the Producer keeps

2.1 The Producer keeps the copyright in the Beat. The production of the Record made with the Label is held through the Label, as the Producer Session Terms provide for a session and as this agreement provides for a Deal.

2.2 The Producer holds the share of the Composition the Split Sheet records, and no share is assumed without it. The Producer keeps that share and registers it with the Producer's own performing rights organisation.

3. What the Label may do

3.1 The Label may license the Work to clients on its Beat Lease and Exclusive Beat Licence, arrange a placement of it under its Placement Agreement, collect the fees, and deliver the Work once a fee is paid, in each case on the terms the Deal's pricing rider states.

3.2 The Label agrees each Deal's fees, up-front part and refundability with the Producer before the Deal is offered; the Deals ledger records them. The Label offers no exclusive licence of a Beat without the Producer's agreement to that Deal.

3.3 Where a record joins the Label's catalogue, the Catalogue Record Agreement governs it, and the Producer is paid a percentage of the Label's half of the Record's Net Receipts, as that agreement defines them, agreed with the Producer in writing.

4. Money

4.1 On a licence fee the Producer receives the share the Deal records, which is never less than 75% of the fee (the Label's take is at most 25%, and 20% unless agreed otherwise for that Deal). On a songwriter or musician fee that names the Producer, the share is the one agreed for that Deal.

4.2 Money a client pays to the Label is passed to the Producer within 30 days of the Label collecting it. Money the Producer collects directly on a Deal is the Producer's to hold against the Producer's share, and the Label's share of it is owed to the Label; the Deals ledger states both.

4.3 The Label accounts to the Producer on request and at least twice a year with the Deals ledger's figures for the Producer's records.

5. Credit

5.1 The Record carries the credit "Produced by" the Producer wherever credits appear and the Label controls them; every licence and placement the Label makes requires it of the client.

6. Warranties and indemnity

6.1 The Producer warrants that the Beat is original or cleared and owned by the Producer, that no earlier licence of it conflicts with a Deal the Producer agrees to, and that the Producer has the right to enter this agreement.

6.2 The Producer warrants, for as long as the Label may license the Work under section 3, that neither the Producer nor a distributor for the Producer has enrolled the Beat, or a recording that embodies it, in a service that identifies and claims matching audio on video or social platforms (a content-claim service). Such a service would claim the records of the clients the Label licenses the Work to.

6.3 The Label warrants that it will account and pay as section 4 provides.

6.4 Each party covers the other against any claim, loss and reasonable cost, including legal fees, arising from a breach of its warranties.

7. Term

7.1 This agreement runs from acceptance for the record it names. Either party may end it for records not yet the subject of a Deal on 30 days' written notice; a Deal already offered or accepted runs its course, and the money, credit, warranty and indemnity sections continue.

8. General

8.1 This agreement, with its parties rider, the Producer Session Terms where a session made the Record, and the Catalogue Record Agreement where the record joins the catalogue, are the whole agreement between the Label and the Producer for the Record. If a clause is unenforceable, the rest stands.

8.2 Notices are by email: to the Label at studio@authxntic.com, to the Producer at the address the Label holds.

9. Governing law and disputes

9.1 This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of that State.

10. Acceptance

10.1 Ticking the box on the Producer's own link is the Producer's electronic signature under the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act. The acceptance is recorded with a SHA-256 proof over this exact text and the parties, timestamped by a public authority and archived by the Label.

2.1 The Songwriter keeps the copyright in the Topline and the share of the Composition the Split Sheet records, registers that share with the Songwriter's own performing rights organisation, and is credited as a writer of the Composition wherever its credits appear.

3. What the Label may do

3.2 The Label agrees each Deal's songwriter fee, up-front part, refundability and the Songwriter's share of it with the Songwriter before the Deal is offered; the Deals ledger records them. The Label offers no exclusive licence of the Topline without the Songwriter's agreement to that Deal.

4. Money

4.1 On a songwriter fee the Songwriter receives the share the Deal records, agreed for that Deal. Money a client pays to the Label is passed to the Songwriter within 30 days of the Label collecting it; money the Songwriter collects directly is held against the Songwriter's share and the Label's share of it is owed to the Label. The Deals ledger states both.

4.2 Where a record joins the Label's catalogue, the Songwriter's writer share of the publishing is paid as the Catalogue Record Agreement provides.

4.3 The Label accounts to the Songwriter once a year with the Deals ledger's figures for the Songwriter's records.

5. Warranties and indemnity

5.1 The Songwriter warrants that the Topline is original or cleared and the Songwriter's own, that no earlier grant of it conflicts with a Deal the Songwriter agrees to, and that the Songwriter has the right to enter this agreement.

5.2 The Songwriter warrants, for as long as the Label may license the Work under section 3, that neither the Songwriter nor a distributor for the Songwriter has enrolled the Topline, or a recording that embodies it, in a service that identifies and claims matching audio on video or social platforms (a content-claim service). Such a service would claim the records of the clients the Label licenses the Work to.
