2. Non-Exclusive Licences
If you select a Non-Exclusive Licence, and subject to entering into and completion of a Transaction, receipt of the Licence Fee as
applicable, and compliance with the terms of this Content Licence, Colossal grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty free,
worldwide, right and licence, to download the Beat, and incorporate/edit the Beat into a Single Production, subject to any Use
Restrictions. The use within the Single Production may be in Any Media, and the Single Production may be distributed via Unlimited
Distribution.
As it is non-exclusive, Colossal reserves the right to license the Beat any number of other times to other licensees for the same or
different uses.
In the event that you wish to use the Beat again in another production (including any remixes, instrumentals or other versions of the
original production) you must enter into a further Content Licence for the further production.
3. Exclusive Licences
If you select an Exclusive Licence, and subject to entering into and completion of a Transaction, receipt of the Licence Fee as applicable,
and compliance with the terms of this Content Licence, Colossal grants you an exclusive, non-transferable, royalty free, worldwide, right
and licence, to download the Beat, and incorporate/edit the Beat into a Single Production, subject to any Use Restrictions. The use

As it is exclusive, only you will have the right to use the Beat and once an Exclusive Licence has been purchased, Colossal will not license
the Beat to any other licensees.
Exclusive Licences are still for a Single Production, so in the event that you wish to use the Beat again in another production you must
enter into a further Content Licence for the further production.

In the event that the Transaction is not successfully completed, is reversed or cancelled, or any Licence Fees are otherwise not received
or are refunded, the Content Licence will be automatically and immediately terminated and deemed null and void.
All Content Licences are royalty free meaning that there are no further fees or royalties to pay however you use the final production
that incorporates the Beat.
5. Reservation of Rights and Restrictions on Use – applicable to all types of licence
Please note that, even under an Exclusive License, you only have a license to use the Beat in a Single Production, you do not own the
Beat (or any derivative edit of the Beat itself) and you cannot use it independently outside of the Single Production. In any event the
