Dispute and Copyright Policy

Last updated: 25 October 2026

This policy governs how copyright disputes, licence conflicts and other disagreements between users of the Fairbeat platform are handled. The platform is operated by Fairbeat Media GmbH ("Fairbeat").

Fairbeat provides a technical platform for licensing music. Licence agreements are concluded directly between sellers (producers, rights holders) and buyers. Except where expressly stated otherwise, Fairbeat does not become a party to them.

Users are responsible for their own content

Sellers are solely responsible for:

  • the lawfulness of uploaded content,
  • clearing all copyright and neighbouring rights,
  • licensing any samples or third-party material used,
  • the accuracy of their licence information.

Buyers are responsible for:

  • complying with the licence rights they acquired,
  • using the content correctly,
  • observing any Content ID or licence conditions.

Fairbeat does not review content in advance.

Reporting an infringement

If you believe content on the platform infringes your copyright or other protected rights, you can report it in two ways:

  • In the app: use the Report option on the content or profile in question and choose "Copyright or licence infringement". You will receive an acknowledgement by email, and we tell you what was decided.
  • By email: copyright@fairbeat.com

A report should include:

  • a description of the content concerned,
  • evidence that you hold the rights,
  • the URL or another unambiguous identification of the content,
  • your contact details.

Fairbeat reviews reported content and may temporarily block it, remove it, or request further information.

Disputes between users

For licence or payment disputes between buyers and sellers:

  • Fairbeat is generally not a party to the contract;
  • users should first try to settle the matter directly between themselves;
  • Fairbeat may help mediate, but is not obliged to.

Fairbeat may temporarily block content or withhold payouts where that appears necessary to resolve a conflict.

Content ID, copyright claims and monetisation conflicts

For automated copyright claims (Content ID, fingerprinting systems):

  • sellers must not assert unjustified exclusive claims that affect legitimate licensees;
  • users undertake to co-operate in resolving incorrect claims;
  • Fairbeat may temporarily disable content while a conflict is being resolved.

Fairbeat does not warrant that content offered on the platform is free of claims.

Measures the platform can take

  • temporarily blocking content,
  • removing content,
  • withholding payouts,
  • warnings,
  • suspending or terminating an account for repeated breaches.

These measures are taken at our proper discretion and in accordance with statutory requirements.

Liability of the platform

Fairbeat is not liable for:

  • content posted by users,
  • licence breaches between users,
  • financial loss arising from licence disputes,
  • automated copyright claims by third parties.

Otherwise, liability is governed by the applicable law and by the platform's GTC.

Digital Services Act

Fairbeat meets the requirements of the European Digital Services Act (DSA). Users can report illegal content, and decisions about content measures are made transparently and are explained.
