Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of thebeatbeast (the "Service") — a digital marketplace for beats, sound packs, and presets operated from İstanbul, Türkiye. By accessing the Service, browsing the catalogue, or completing a purchase, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Who we are

The Service is operated by thebeatbeast, an İstanbul, Türkiye–based beat and sound store ("thebeatbeast", "we", "us", "our"). You can reach us through our Contact page.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, and able to enter into a binding contract to purchase from the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you are authorised to bind that entity to these Terms.

What we sell

We sell digital audio products — beats (instrumental productions licensed under tiered, non-exclusive licenses or sold exclusively), sound packs (sample collections), and presets (plugin patches and FX chains). All products are delivered electronically; nothing is shipped physically.

Previews on the Service are watermarked or otherwise reduced-quality. The clean, deliverable files are provided only after a completed purchase, under the applicable license.

Guest checkout and your email

The Service uses guest checkout — no buyer account is required. The email address you provide at checkout is the sole channel through which we deliver your download links and license documents, and the identifier we use to assist you with an order. You are responsible for providing a correct, working email address and for keeping access to that inbox secure. Anyone with access to the order confirmation email may be able to download the purchased files within the link validity window.

Orders, pricing, and taxes

Prices are shown in the Service’s base currency and are set per product. The prices displayed on product pages are net; at checkout the following mandatory surcharges are added on top and shown as separate line items:

• VAT (KDV) at 20%, required by law;
• a 1% payment processing fee charged by our payment provider, PayTR.

These surcharges are calculated on the post-discount net amount and are neither set nor retained by us beyond passing them to the relevant authority or provider. We make reasonable efforts to ensure prices are accurate, but errors may occur. If we discover a pricing error in an order, we may cancel the affected order and refund any amount paid; we will notify you if this happens.

A binding contract of sale is formed when we confirm your order following successful payment. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order — for example where we suspect fraud, a pricing error, or a breach of these Terms.

Payment

Payments are processed by PayTR, a third-party payment provider. We do not receive or store your full card details. By submitting a payment you also agree to PayTR’s applicable terms. If a payment is reversed, charged back, or otherwise fails after delivery, we may suspend access to the purchased files and the associated license.

Licenses and intellectual property

We (and our producers) retain all ownership of, and intellectual property rights in, every beat, sound pack, and preset offered on the Service. A purchase does not transfer ownership; it grants you the specific rights set out in the license that accompanies that product.

Each beat purchase is governed by the per-tier License Agreement (Basic, Premium, or Unlimited) issued with your order; sound packs and presets are governed by their own license. The full terms — including delivered file formats, permitted uses, streaming/usage caps, and prohibited uses — are set out in those agreements and summarised on our License Agreement page. The Exclusive option is handled as a direct enquiry, not self-serve checkout, and is governed by the separate agreement provided for that sale.

You may not resell, redistribute, sub-license, or repackage any file except as expressly permitted by your license. Breaching a license terminates the rights granted under it.

Delivery of digital products

After payment is confirmed, we email your download links and license document(s) to the address provided at checkout, typically within a few minutes. Download links are time-limited (valid for 24 hours) for security; every order email includes a button to regenerate fresh links, which sends a new set to the original purchase email. If you do not receive your email, check your spam folder and then contact us with your order number.

Right of withdrawal and refunds

Our products are digital content delivered electronically and not on a tangible medium. Under Turkish consumer legislation on distance contracts, the statutory right of withdrawal does not apply to such content once performance has begun with the consumer’s prior consent. By completing checkout and accessing your download, you expressly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that you thereby lose any right of withdrawal.

Accordingly, all sales are final and non-refundable, except where a refund is required by applicable law or granted at our discretion (for example, a verified technical fault that we cannot remedy). See our Refund Policy for details.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in breach of these Terms or any license;
• copy, scrape, frame, or systematically download the catalogue, previews, or any content except as permitted;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, other users’ orders, or our systems;
• circumvent, disable, or interfere with security, download limits, watermarking, or rate-limiting;
• resell, share, or publicly distribute purchased files outside the scope of your license;
• upload or transmit malware, or use the Service to infringe the rights of others.

Availability, changes, and errors

We provide the Service on an "as available" basis and may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of it — including products, prices, and features — at any time, without liability. Products may be withdrawn from sale (for example, a beat sold exclusively is archived). We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service and all products are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. You are responsible for ensuring a product suits your intended use before purchasing; previews are provided for this purpose. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits rights that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory consumer law.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service or any product. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to any order will not exceed the amount you paid for that order. These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be limited under mandatory law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or any license, your misuse of a product, or your infringement of any third party’s rights.

Privacy and data protection

We process your personal data in accordance with Turkish Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (KVKK) and applicable regulations. See our Privacy Policy and Cookies + KVKK notice for how we collect, use, and protect your information.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the current version. Changes take effect when posted; your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance. The version in force at the time of your purchase governs that purchase.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. For consumer disputes, the competent Consumer Arbitration Committees (Tüketici Hakem Heyetleri) and Consumer Courts (Tüketici Mahkemeleri) at your place of residence or purchase have jurisdiction, in accordance with the monetary thresholds set annually. For all other matters, the courts and enforcement offices of İstanbul, Türkiye have jurisdiction.
