The Content includes all Recordings, Music Videos, and Ancillary Material owned or controlled by the Contractor during the Agreement’s term, along with any Content submitted via Backstage or other agreed delivery methods, plus all associated Metadata and documentation.

This Agreement grants Be Musix all necessary authorizations and rights for the Worldwide distribution of the Content.

This Agreement begins on the Effective Date and lasts for an Initial Period of three (3) years, starting when the Contractor delivers the first Recording to Be Musix. After this, the Agreement automatically renews for additional Extended Periods of two (2) years each, unless either party gives written notice at least three (3) months before the next renewal date.

The Contractor will receive 70.00% of the Net Receipts from Be Musix. This amount is calculated after deducting any applicable Mechanical Rights payments, as well as all duties and taxes (including withholding taxes).

The first items of New Releases must be delivered no later than one (1) month after the Effective Date. Content delivered less than one (1) week before the planned release date may be delayed by DSPs. Be Musix reserves the right to adjust Metadata to meet DSP requirements.

If DSPs require Mechanical Rights licenses, Be Musix will use reasonable efforts to manage these on behalf of the Contractor. If licenses are unavailable in a territory, Be Musix may suspend distribution in that specific territory.
