If you are under 18, you may only use the Platform with the verifiable consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

Provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process.
Maintain and promptly update your account information to keep it accurate and complete.
Choose a secure password and keep it confidential.
Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account at support@traxsters.com.
Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.
You may not create multiple accounts, use another user's account without permission, or register using false or misleading information. TRAXSTERS LTD reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these requirements.
3.3 Account Security

TRAXSTERS LTD will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized access to your account resulting from your failure to adequately protect your credentials. We will never ask for your password via email or unsolicited communication.
4. Platform Services
4.1 For Producers
Producers may use the Platform to upload, manage, promote, and sell licenses to their Beats. By uploading a Beat, you represent that you are the sole owner of all intellectual property rights in the Beat, or that you have obtained all necessary rights, clearances, and permissions to upload and license such Beat on the Platform.
Producers retain ownership of their intellectual property subject to the licenses granted to Buyers and the limited license granted to TRAXSTERS LTD as described in Section 8. Producers are solely responsible for setting pricing, selecting license types, and ensuring that their Beats do not infringe any third-party rights.
4.2 For Buyers
Buyers may browse the Platform, preview Beats, and purchase licenses under the terms specified by the Producer for each Beat. Purchases are subject to the specific license terms applicable to each Beat (e.g., Basic, Premium, Unlimited, or Exclusive), which govern how the Beat may be used, distributed, and monetized.
Buyers are responsible for reading and understanding the applicable license terms prior to completing a purchase. TRAXSTERS LTD does not guarantee that any Beat will be available for purchase at any specific time, and reserves the right to modify or delist Beats at its discretion.
4.3 License Types
The following general license categories are available on the Platform. The specific rights granted under each license are detailed in the license agreement presented at checkout:
Basic (MP3) License: A non-exclusive license permitting limited personal or commercial use, with distribution and streaming caps.
Premium (WAV) License: A non-exclusive license with higher distribution limits and access to WAV stems.
Unlimited License: A non-exclusive license with no distribution caps, suitable for broad commercial use.
Exclusive License: An exclusive license granting sole usage rights to a single Buyer; the Beat is removed from further licensing upon purchase.
Producers may configure custom license terms. All license agreements are between the Producer and the Buyer. TRAXSTERS LTD facilitates the transaction but is not a party to the underlying license agreement.
5. Fees, Payments, and Payouts
5.1 Platform Fees
TRAXSTERS LTD charges a service fee on each completed transaction on the Platform. The applicable fee schedule is published on the Pricing page of the Platform and may be updated from time to time. By completing a transaction, you agree to the fee schedule in effect at the time of the transaction.
5.2 Payments by Buyers
All purchases must be made through the payment methods supported by the Platform, which may include debit/credit cards, bank transfers, and third-party payment processors. All prices are displayed in the currency selected on the Platform. You are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, or levies that may apply to your purchase under applicable law.
By submitting payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method provided. TRAXSTERS LTD uses industry-standard encryption and partners with reputable payment processors; however, we are not responsible for errors or failures caused by third-party payment providers.
5.3 Producer Payouts
Producers will receive their Earnings in accordance with the payout schedule and minimum threshold specified on the Platform. Payouts may be made via bank transfer, mobile money, or other methods as made available. Producers are solely responsible for ensuring that their payout information is accurate and up to date.
TRAXSTERS LTD reserves the right to withhold Earnings pending investigation of suspected fraudulent activity, intellectual property disputes, or violations of these Terms. We may also withhold or reverse payouts in connection with chargebacks, refunds, or legal proceedings.
5.4 Taxes
You are solely responsible for determining and fulfilling your own tax obligations arising from your use of the Platform, including income tax, VAT, and withholding tax obligations where applicable. TRAXSTERS LTD does not provide tax advice. For transactions involving Nigerian residents, withholding tax may be deducted in accordance with applicable FIRS regulations.
5.5 Refund Policy
Due to the digital and immediately accessible nature of Beat licenses, all sales are final and non-refundable once a download has been initiated. TRAXSTERS LTD is a marketplace platform and not the seller or payment processor; accordingly, we bear no direct liability for issuing refunds. In exceptional circumstances — specifically, verified technical failures, duplicate charges, or proven fraudulent transactions — any applicable refund obligation lies solely with the Producer (seller) whose Beat was involved in the transaction. Buyers seeking resolution in such cases should contact support@traxsters.com within 7 days of the transaction date, and TRAXSTERS LTD will facilitate communication with the relevant Producer. TRAXSTERS LTD reserves the right to mediate disputes between Buyers and Producers but is under no obligation to issue refunds from its own funds.
6. Intellectual Property Rights
6.1 Ownership of User Content
Producers retain all intellectual property rights in and to the Beats they upload to the Platform, subject only to the licenses granted herein and to Buyers. By uploading a Beat, you represent and warrant that:
You are the original creator and sole rights holder of the Beat, or have obtained all necessary rights to upload and license it.
The Beat does not incorporate any samples, loops, or third-party materials without the appropriate clearances or licenses.
Uploading the Beat and licensing it through the Platform does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.
You have not previously granted any exclusive license that would prevent you from licensing the Beat through the Platform.

This license does not transfer ownership of your content to TRAXSTERS LTD and terminates upon removal of your content from the Platform, subject to any licenses already granted to Buyers.
6.3 TRAXSTERS LTD Intellectual Property
The Platform and all of its content and technology — including but not limited to the Traxsters name and logo, design elements, software, algorithms, databases, and documentation — are the exclusive intellectual property of TRAXSTERS LTD and its licensors.
