Terms and Conditions

This is a legal agreement ("Agreement") between you and The Beatport Group LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Beatport") stating the terms that govern your use of the Beatport websites, including any Beatport branded website, webpage, application, or mobile version thereof (including but not limited to labelradar.com and ampsuite.com) (collectively, the "Website(s)").

By using the Website, you agree to comply with the terms of this Agreement. Beatport reserves the right to change, add, or remove portions of this Agreement at any time. In addition, you agree to comply with all local, state, federal, national, and international laws, statutes, ordinances, and regulations that apply to your use of the Website or Content (defined below). 

1. Age Requirement.

In order to use the Products (defined below) or services offered on this Website, you need to be either:

• 18 or older; or
• 13 or older and have your parent or guardian’s consent. 

Note: Registration for an Account (defined below) requires a minimum age of 18, unless your parent or legal guardian clicks "AGREE" or “SIGN UP” (as applicable) on your behalf. If you are a parent or legal guardian entering this Agreement for the benefit of your child or a child in your legal care, be aware that you are fully responsible for the child's use of the Website, including all financial charges.

Children under 13 years of age may not register for an Account or use the Website, nor may parents or legal guardians register on their behalf. 

2. Content and Products.

Content. In this Agreement, "Content" includes (but is not limited to): sound recordings and related digital content (including songs, mixes, loops and samples), all software, artwork, graphics, video, text, editorials, content descriptions, interfaces, trademarks, logos, images, photographs, event artwork and details, and any other element of the Website (including the layout, look and feel, organization, and coordination of Content on the Website). 

Products. "Product(s)" means certain Content made available by Beatport for streaming, purchase and/or download. 

Streams. A “Stream” is the digital transmission of a sound recording of a musical work, in whole or in part, to an end user over the Internet where the Content may be heard or viewed, but not permanently downloaded, for later playback. You may not attempt, or support others' attempts, to permanently download, copy, distribute, alter or capture a Stream.

Downloads. A "Download" is a purchased Product that you can:

• Transfer to a compatible portable device;
• Save to your hard drive with unlimited playback time; or 
• Burn to a CD/DVD, in each case for personal private use only and not for commercial or public use or distribution. 

Beatport shall have no liability for lost, damaged, or destroyed Downloads. Any security technology that is provided with a Download is an inseparable part of the Download. The Download capability does not operate to limit any rights of the copyright owners in a Product or any works embodied in them. 

Each purchase of a Download by you will be regarded as a separate transaction and each delivery of a Download will constitute a separate sale, whether delivery is in whole or partial fulfillment of an order. For the purpose of creating Beatport charts and other marketing data, Beatport reserves the right to correct or ignore any Downloads it suspects are a result of suspicious sales behavior intended to, in Beatport’s sole discretion, falsely inflate sales data.

Content Ownership. All Content is the property of or is licensed to Beatport, and is protected by U.S. and international trademark, trade dress, copyright, and other intellectual property rights laws. The Content is only for your personal, noncommercial use; without the prior written consent of Beatport or the applicable copyright holder, no Content may be transmitted, distributed, translated, publicly displayed, uploaded, published, recorded, retransmitted, rented, sold, distributed, digitized, endorsed, reproduced, altered to make new works, performed, or compiled in any commercial way. 

Limitations on Content Use. Except as otherwise provided herein, you may not copy, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, rent, lease, broadcast, download, transmit, distribute or otherwise disseminate any Streams or Downloads or other Content contained on the Website (including those in the stems file format) except for your own personal, non-commercial use, unless otherwise provided for herein. PEER-2-PEER FILE SHARING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Any unauthorized copying, distribution, use or sharing is not permitted by this Agreement or applicable provisions of the United States Copyright Code, and is in violation of U.S. and international copyright and intellectual property laws.

Loss of Rights. Beatport may at any time lose the right to make certain Content available. In such an event, you will no longer be able to access such Content from the Website.

3. Objectionable Material.

When using the Website, you understand that you may encounter Content that may be deemed objectionable, indecent, or offensive, or Content which may or may not be identified as having explicit language or text, graphic designs, and/or photographs. You acknowledge that you use the Website at your own risk, and that Beatport shall have no liability to you for such Content. Beatport reserves the absolute right to remove any Content it determines, in its sole discretion, to be offensive or incompatible with the standards of our platform.

4. Account Registration.

To use certain services on the Websites, you will need to register for an “Account”. To create an Account, you will need to provide Beatport with certain information (e.g. name, billing information, valid email address) ("Registration Data"). You agree that Beatport may store and use the Registration Data for billing fees to your credit card and otherwise maintaining your Account. You agree to: 

• Provide current, complete, and accurate Registration Data when you register; and 
• Update your Registration Data as necessary to keep it current, complete and accurate. 

Beatport may terminate your Account and/or restrict your use of the Websites if any information you provide is inaccurate, false, incomplete, overtly offensive, misleading, or if Beatport, in its own discretion, suspects fraudulent and/or illegal behavior associated with your Account (including but not limited to account sharing, identify theft, stolen credit cards, or artificial purchasing to inflate sales data). 

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Account. You agree to notify Beatport immediately of any unauthorized use of your password and/or Account. Beatport shall not be responsible for any losses arising out of the unauthorized use of your Registration Data or Account, and you agree to indemnify Beatport against any unauthorized or illegal uses of your Account. 

5. Beatport’s Username Policy.

No two users or DJs can have the same Beatport username or artist/DJ name (collectively, “Beatport Username”) on the Beatport platform. Beatport Usernames are provided on a first-come basis. Any attempts to sell or buy a Beatport Username is strictly prohibited and may result in Account deletion.

Beatport will not typically intervene in Beatport Username disputes, and any such disputes should be resolved between the parties. However, Beatport reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to permanently remove, reassign, or ask a user to modify their Beatport Username in situations where:

1. An Account is inactive;
2. Beatport determines that a Beatport Username is offensive, commercial in nature, in violation of, or a derivation of, a third party’s trademark, or is determined by Beatport to be otherwise misleading;
3. Beatport suspects that a Beatport Username is being squatted;
4. The registered Beatport Username is that of a more established, well-known DJ, and Beatport’s decision not to reassign the Beatport Username will lead to consumer confusion; and
5. Beatport has determined, in its own discretion, the situation is such that removing or reassigning the Beatport Username is most appropriate under the circumstances.

6. Deletion of Inactive Accounts.

We implement an Account deletion process for inactive users. An Account is considered "inactive" if there has been no successful login for a continuous period of 3 years. 

If your Account is identified for deletion due to inactivity, we will notify you via the email address associated with your Account at the following intervals: 

• 30 days prior to the scheduled deletion; and 

• 7 days prior to the scheduled deletion. 

Once an Account is deleted, all associated personal data, order history, and preferences will be permanently erased or anonymized in accordance with our data retention standards and cannot be recovered. 

How to Prevent Deletion: You can halt the deletion process and reactivate your Account at any time before the deadline simply by logging into your Account. 

Requesting Deletion: You can request the deletion of your Account at any time by making a data deletion request to support@beatport.com. Please refer to Beatport's Privacy and Cookie Policy for more details on how to make a data deletion request.

7. Consent to our communication with you by E-Mail.

By establishing an Account, you grant permission for Beatport to contact you at your provided e-mail address regarding important updates to the Platform that may impact your Account or use of Beatport’s services. You can update and manage your email preferences under your Accounts settings.

8. System Requirements for Usage.

You are responsible for any hardware and/or software program(s) (and any associated fees and expenses) you use to: 

• Connect to, browse or otherwise use the Internet;
• Access the Website; and/or 
• Browse, stream, download, upload, play back, or transfer Content. 

Beatport’s streaming service is integrated with DJ hardware and software partners to enable seamless performance within the product of your choice. However, the obtainment of any other product does not guarantee your access to the Content. A list of our current hardware and software partners can be found at https://stream.beatport.com/. For information on the specifications of any equipment, Internet access or software required to use services on the Website, please contact the Customer Support team. 

You may not attempt, nor support others' attempts, to decrypt, reverse engineer, circumvent or otherwise alter or interfere with any software required for use of the Website or Content. If you access the Website over mobile or via an IOS or Android application, data charges may apply. 

9. Charges and Billing.

Billing Information. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING BEATPORT WITH A VALID CREDIT CARD AND THE TIMELY PAYMENT OF ALL FEES. If any of your billing information changes, you are responsible for updating the information in the applicable section of your Account. You are solely responsible for keeping your Account secure and confidential. 

You agree to pay for all for-fee Products that you purchase through the Website. Beatport may charge your credit card for any Products purchased, and for any additional amounts (including any taxes and late fees, as applicable) as may be accrued by or in connection with your Account. You hereby agree to authorize Beatport to charge your credit card for the above within (30) days of credit card authorization at Beatport's convenience, but no earlier than the purchased Product is available for actual download or delivery (except in the case of pre-order content). At its discretion, Beatport may post charges individually or aggregate your charges with other purchases you make on the Website.

Payment Methods. Beatport currently accepts American Express, Visa, Master Card, JCB and PayPal. Beatport does not accept cash, money orders, or checks. Beatport reserves the right to change this policy at any time. You agree to pay all fees and charges associated with your purchase(s) (including any applicable taxes), at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. You, not Beatport, are responsible for any unauthorized amounts billed to your credit card by a third party. As a cardholder, your card issuer agreement governs your use of the designated card, and as such, you must refer to that agreement to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. Obligation to pay for Product orders previously accepted by Beatport will survive your termination of your Account. 

Currency. Beatport accepts the following currencies: US Dollars, Euro, British Pound, Australian Dollar, Mexican Peso and Brazilian Real. The currency displayed and accepted for each individual purchase is solely based on your territory of sale and cannot be modified by the end user. Any issues occurring with your purchase should be directed to the Customer Support team, regardless of the currency used in the purchase.

No refunds. All sales are final and all charges from those sales are nonrefundable. Beatport will not refund any fees for Products or services that you purchase and then fail to download, unless such failure is caused solely by the negligence or gross misconduct of Beatport, or in the case of exceptional circumstances at Beatport's sole discretion.

10. Limitation on Sales.

Beatport sells Products to end user customers only, and not to resellers, distributors, music dealers, exporters, wholesalers, or any other businesses with an intent to resell. Beatport reserves the right to refuse access to the Website or Beatport API or sale of Products, to any end user. Beatport may terminate any offers for free or special promotions or pricing on merchandise at any time. 

11. Order Acceptance Policy.

Your receipt of an order confirmation is a confirmation of our receipt of your request, and is not a final binding contract of sale. Beatport reserves the right to decline an order or limit quantities based on licensing changes, technical errors, or regional restrictions. Additionally, to ensure our charts remain an authentic reflection of the global DJ community, Beatport reserves the right to exclude any purchase from chart calculations if we detect patterns suggesting artificial sales inflation or non-organic activity. In such cases, you will still receive the Product for personal use, but the transaction will not be applied to chart rankings. 

12. Right to Change Prices and Content Availability.

Prices and availability of Content offered through the Website are subject to change at any time. Beatport does not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price drop or promotional offering. Beatport may, at its discretion, modify, suspend, or discontinue the Website (or any part thereof, including any Product) at any time with or without notice to you, and Beatport will not be liable to you or to any third party should it exercise such rights.

No Responsibility for Typographical Errors. Due to the rapidly expanding, broad selection of Content on the Website, it is possible that Products may be accidentally mispriced or mislabeled. In such an event, Beatport reserves the right not to accept end user orders with prices based upon typographical errors.

13. Taxes.

You are responsible for paying any governmental taxes imposed on your purchases, including, but not limited to, sales, use or value-added taxes. Beatport will calculate and collect these applicable taxes at checkout or incorporate them into applicable subscription fees, as permitted by local laws.

14. Electronic Signatures and Contracts.

Your use of the Website and establishment of an Account includes the ability to enter into agreements and/or to make purchases electronically. You agree that any submissions you make for electronic purchases constitute your intent and agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and to pay for such purchases. 

15. Public Profiles.

The Website may contain features designed to help users, DJs, labels or brands find and/or exploit Content of personal interest by creating landing pages, public profiles, generating short URLs and/or viewing Content that other users or artists have sampled, streamed, uploaded and/or downloaded. BEATPORT HAS THE RIGHT, BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION, TO MONITOR, EDIT, OR REMOVE ANY ACTIVITY OR CONTENT, OR TO RESTRICT ACCESS TO OTHER MEMBERS TO VIEW YOUR MUSIC, CONTENT COLLECTION OR PUBLIC PROFILES. Beatport is not responsible and assumes no liability for any activity, content, messages and the like that you or any other user posts to a public area or a public profile.

16. User Generated Content.

Beatport may permit users to post or upload content, including mixes, tracks, playlist compilations (also referred to as charts), performances, videos, pictures, messages, texts, logos, and other content for the purpose of sharing with Beatport users (“User Content”).  By uploading User Content, you represent and warrant that: 

• You own or otherwise control all applicable rights to the User Content;

Furthermore, Beatport reserves the right to terminate the user Account and DJ profile of users who are repeat offenders of this policy. 

17. Restrictions. You may not use the Website (or any part of it, including but not limited to public areas) to upload, post, transmit, display, perform or otherwise make available any messages, content or materials (i) that are illegal, obscene, threatening, of a "spamming" nature, defamatory, or invasive of privacy; (ii) violate (intentionally or unintentionally) a contractual, fiduciary or confidentiality obligation or duty you have to any third party; (iii) that constitute political campaigning or commercial solicitation or that contain software viruses or other computer code designed to interfere with the functionality of any computer system; (iv) provide links to unapproved third party sites; or (v) that infringe third-party rights or harm minors in any way. You may not interfere with or disrupt the Website or any networks connected to or by the Website.
