The rules of the road.

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Site, and at least 18 years old to make a purchase or accept a license. By purchasing, you confirm you have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts in your jurisdiction.

You may browse and check out anonymously. If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity under your account. We may suspend or terminate any account that we reasonably believe is being used to violate these Terms or applicable law. Account creation and basic browsing are free of charge.

The Site sells digital, non-tangible musical compositions and recordings ("Beats") under five license tiers (MP3 Lease, WAV Lease, Trackout (Stems), Unlimited, Exclusive). Detailed rights and limits per tier are at /licenses and are included in the versioned PDF license contract issued at checkout.

An order is an offer to purchase the selected license tier. The contract is formed only when payment is confirmed by the payment provider and the Producer issues the license PDF and download access for the purchased Beat.

The license contract — not this page — is the binding instrument that governs the buyer's rights in the purchased Beat. If anything in these Terms appears to conflict with the license contract, the license contract controls for that purchase.

• Payments are processed by third-party providers (currently lava.top; additional providers may be added). The Producer does not store or have access to payment-card details.
• All prices are quoted in US dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated, and are exclusive of any local sales tax, VAT, or import duty that may apply in the buyer's jurisdiction.
• The buyer is solely responsible for any local taxes, VAT, or duties triggered by the purchase. Where the payment provider acts as a Merchant of Record and collects such taxes on the Producer's behalf, the receipt issued by that provider will reflect this.
• The Producer reserves the right to change prices and license terms for future purchases at any time. Already-issued license contracts are not affected.

All sales are final. Refunds are issued only in the narrow operational cases set out at /refund-policy. By checking the digital delivery waiver at checkout, EU and UK consumers expressly consent to immediate digital delivery and acknowledge that once delivery begins they lose any 14-day withdrawal or cancellation right to the extent permitted under EU Directive 2011/83/EU and corresponding UK regulations.

The Producer is the sole author of the underlying musical compositions and master recordings of every Beat sold on the Site, except where otherwise indicated.

Composer share retained by Producer. For all five license tiers, including Exclusive, the Producer retains a 50% composer share of the underlying composition's publishing rights. This share is administered globally by Songtrust and registered under the Producer's legal name (Protopopov Dmitrii) with BMI (registration in progress; IPI/CAE number to be added when assigned).

Master ownership. For MP3 Lease, WAV Lease, Trackout (Stems), and Unlimited tiers, the Producer retains ownership of the master recording of the instrumental. The Buyer owns the master recording of the finished song (instrumental plus the Buyer's vocal performance) and may distribute, monetize, and license that finished song subject to tier limits. For Exclusive purchases, the Producer assigns to the Buyer the Producer-owned master recording rights in the delivered beat master on full payment, subject to previously issued non-exclusive licenses. The Exclusive purchase does not transfer the Producer's 50% writer/composer share described above.

Buyer's metadata obligation. On every commercial release derived from a Lev Mourne Beat, the Buyer must:

1. List Protopopov Dmitrii as co-writer / composer with a 50% songwriter share in the distributor's metadata and at the Buyer's PRO.
2. Display the required credit Prod. by Lev Mourne in song title and metadata on all distribution platforms.
3. Not register the underlying composition with any service or society that automatically excludes the Producer's writer share.

Failure to satisfy these obligations is a material breach of the license. The Producer is entitled to seek injunctive relief, takedown of the offending release, and recovery of all royalties earned in breach.

No Content ID claim. The Producer will not register the bare instrumentals with YouTube Content ID and will not assert algorithmic copyright claims against Buyers' lawful uses. Each license is a contractual permission, not a release of underlying rights — the Producer's writer share continues to be administered through standard PRO channels regardless.

You agree not to use the Site or any Beat to:

• Resell, redistribute, or sub-license the Beat as a Beat (the bare instrumental);
• Upload the Beat, stems, loops, or isolated elements to BeatStars, Airbit, Traktrain, sample marketplaces, stock-music libraries, or similar resale / re-licensing platforms;
• Upload the untouched instrumental to streaming services without vocals;
• Use the Beat, stems, loops, or isolated elements to train, fine-tune, validate, or build any machine-learning or generative-AI model or dataset;
• Mint, sell, or otherwise exploit the Beat, stems, or isolated elements as an NFT, tokenized asset, sample pack, loop kit, construction kit, or standalone stock asset;
• Promote hate speech, terrorism, child sexual abuse material, or any other unlawful conduct;
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or otherwise access the Site's audio files, peaks, or other internal data outside of the normal browsing and purchase flow;
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or network connected to the Site, or breach any security or authentication measures;
• Interfere with the operation of the Site, including by uploading malware or exhausting service capacity.

We may suspend access, revoke download tokens, and terminate licenses in response to a confirmed breach, in addition to any other remedies available at law.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order at our discretion, including in cases of suspected fraud, payment-method abuse, sanctions screening, export-control concerns, or evidence that a Buyer intends to use the Beat in violation of Section 7. Where an order is cancelled before delivery, the full purchase amount is refunded.

If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, send a notice to support@lev-mourne.com with: (a) your contact information; (b) identification of the work claimed to be infringed; (c) the URL of the allegedly infringing material; (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; and (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act on the rightsholder's behalf. We respond within a reasonable time and may remove the material pending investigation.

If a Beat you released is the subject of a third-party copyright claim (for example, the artist on the finished song asserts conflicting rights), notify support@lev-mourne.com so the dispute can be reviewed against the license contract on file.

The Site and the Beats are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or that the Site will be uninterrupted, timely, or error-free. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions the exclusions in this section apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Producer's aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms or any purchase shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount the Buyer paid the Producer for the relevant license in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD 100.

In no event will the Producer be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other theory, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory applicable law (for example, gross negligence or willful misconduct in jurisdictions where such exclusion is prohibited).

The Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Producer from any third-party claim, demand, action, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of: (a) the Buyer's breach of these Terms or the license contract; (b) the Buyer's use of any Beat in violation of applicable law; or (c) the content (lyrics, performance, music video) the Buyer creates around any Beat.

How we collect, use, and store personal data is set out in the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. By using the Site, you confirm you have read and understand both.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by updating the "last updated" date and, for registered users, by email. Continued use of the Site after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new Terms. Already-issued license contracts are not affected by changes to these Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Russian Federation, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The English version of these Terms controls.

The parties will attempt to resolve any dispute by direct, good-faith negotiation initiated by written notice to support@lev-mourne.com. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days, it will be referred to arbitration administered under the rules of the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, seat Moscow, language English, before a sole arbitrator. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking interim or injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights.

For Buyers domiciled in the EU, UK, or jurisdictions where mandatory consumer-protection law applies, those mandatory protections continue to apply notwithstanding the choice of law and forum above.

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Refund Policy, Licenses, and the per-purchase PDF license contract, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Producer concerning use of the Site.
