1. What R&B Ready sells
R&B Ready sells non-exclusive licences to use digital instrumental music produced and owned by Elijah Melo. A purchase does not transfer ownership of the beat or its underlying copyright. Your selected licence tier and the private licence agreement recorded with your order determine the files, rights, and usage limits you receive.
2. Ordering and payment
Prices are displayed and charged in US dollars. Your bank may apply currency conversion or card fees. Payment is processed securely by Stripe; R&B Ready does not receive or store your full card number. An order is accepted when Stripe confirms payment. We may cancel and refund an order affected by an obvious pricing error, fraud concern, or unavailable product.
3. Your licence
Each tier grants one person a worldwide, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to incorporate the selected beat into one new song during the stated term. You may modify the beat for that song and release the finished song only within the purchased limits. You may not resell or redistribute the beat itself, sublicense it, claim exclusive ownership, or use synchronization rights beyond the music videos expressly allowed. Credit must be substantially in the form “Produced by Elijah Melo.”
You may distribute the finished song through ordinary music distributors and streaming services. You may not enroll the beat or finished song in Content ID or another automated rights-management service in a way that claims exclusive ownership of the beat or blocks other lawful licensees.
4. Licence rights by tier
Review the usage limits and full agreement for your tier below before payment. These are recorded with your order at Checkout. “Unlimited” remains subject to the other restrictions in these terms and the agreement.
Agreement version: RNBREADY-LICENCE-2026-08-17-01. Licensor: Prabal Tamang, professionally known as Elijah Melo.

Licence fee, effective date and acceptance
The licence is effective only after the Licence Fee has been paid. The fee is a one-time payment for the rights in this agreement. The Licensee's payment and receipt of the Track constitute electronic acceptance of this agreement. Refunds remain subject to R&B Ready's refund policy and any mandatory consumer rights.
Delivery
The Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the purchased files to the email address supplied at Checkout promptly after confirmed payment.
Grant and permitted use
The Licensor grants the Licensee a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence, for the recorded term, to incorporate the Track into one new song or new instrumental composition (the “New Song”). The Licensee may record original lyrics, combine the Track with music written or owned by the Licensee, and modify its arrangement, length, tempo or pitch for the New Song. The New Song may be released as a single or within a mixtape, EP or album and commercially exploited only within the recorded usage limits. The Licensor may continue licensing the Track to others.
Usage limits
Distribution, streaming, music-video, radio and performance rights are limited to the quantities recorded in this agreement. No use beyond those limits is granted without the Licensor's prior written agreement.
Restrictions and Content ID
The Licensee may not sell, redistribute, lend, rent, upload or share the Track in the form delivered, except with musicians, engineers or other collaborators working on the New Song. The licence may not be transferred, assigned or sublicensed, and the Track may not be offered as a sample. Synchronisation is limited to the music videos expressly allowed by this agreement; film, television, advertising, games and other audiovisual uses require prior written consent. The Licensee must not register the Track itself or claim exclusive ownership of it. The New Song may be delivered to distributors and digital music services for ordinary release, but neither the Track nor New Song may be enrolled in Content ID or another automated rights-management service in a way that asserts exclusive ownership of the Track or blocks other lawful licensees.
Ownership and publishing
The Licensor retains all ownership and copyright in the Track. The Licensee owns original lyrics and other original musical material written solely by the Licensee. The New Song's underlying composition is jointly controlled, with the Licensor retaining a fifty percent (50%) composition and publishing share. Any registration must identify the Licensor's interest and credit Elijah Melo as a writer.
Mechanical royalties and accounting
Except for mechanical royalties and the Licensor's composition and publishing interests recorded above, the Licensee need not pay the Licensor additional royalties on exploitation expressly permitted by this agreement. For any controlled composition embodied in the New Song, mechanical royalties are payable at 100% of the minimum statutory rate in the United States and Canada and at the prevailing industry rate elsewhere. Each party and its administrators must account directly for sums due to the other, and relevant records may be audited on reasonable notice within twenty-four months of a statement.
Producer credit
The Licensee must use best efforts to credit the Licensor as producer and writer wherever customary, substantially as: “Produced by Elijah Melo”. Any omitted or incorrect credit must be corrected promptly and prospectively.
Samples, warranties and responsibility
The Track is licensed as-is. The Licensor represents that the Licensor has authority to enter this agreement and will identify any known third-party sample requiring clearance. The Licensee is responsible for rights and clearances for material added by or on behalf of the Licensee and for any disclosed third-party sample used in the New Song. Each party is responsible for third-party claims caused by that party's breach, additions or unauthorised use.
Breach and termination
After written notice of a breach, the Licensee has five business days to cure it where capable of cure. Uncured or unauthorised exploitation may terminate the licence and make the Licensee liable for resulting losses and available legal remedies.
General
This agreement, the recorded usage limits and the R&B Ready terms of sale form the entire agreement for this licence and supersede prior discussions. Changes or waivers must be agreed in writing, including by email. If a provision is invalid, the remainder continues in effect. This agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales, and its courts have jurisdiction subject to any mandatory consumer rights. The parties acknowledge the importance of obtaining independent legal advice.
