By purchasing, downloading, or using any vocal product from this website

 you (“Licensee”) agree to the Following Terms and Conditions:

 

1. Non-Exclusive Vocals & Toplines (Includes Limited Editions, Bundles, Vocal Hooks & Samples)

     License: You are granted a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the vocals in your original musical works for commercial or non-commercial purposes.

1.1 Composition Ownership & Derivative Works:

      Retained Copyright: Mandy Barry retains 100% of the underlying copyright (lyrics & melody) to all non-exclusive toplines. 

      No Rewrites or Unauthorized Re-Recordings: Modifying lyrics, altering core melodies, or re-recording the composition with another vocalist constitutes an unauthorized derivative work under copyright law. Re-recording or registering the underlying composition as your own exclusive work is strictly prohibited.

      One-Song Usage: This non-exclusive license applies solely to the single finished track created with these stems. Raw vocal files may not be repurposed, chopped into new unrelated projects, or transferred to third parties.

      Restrictions - You may not:

• Resell, sublicense, distribute, share, or transfer raw or processed vocal files in any form.
• Include, re-package, or embed these vocal hooks/samples in sample packs, loop kits, beat packs, sound libraries, DAW project templates, or construction kits (whether free or paid).
• Upload or register tracks featuring non-exclusive vocal hooks/samples with YouTube Content ID, Meta Rights Manager, or automated copyright enforcement services.
• Distribute or upload the vocal hooks/samples as standalone audio tracks (i.e., the vocal must be part of a larger, fully produced original musical work).
• Use the name “Mandy Barry” or any variation in public-facing materials such as credits, song titles, metadata, or marketing without expressed permission. 

     Non-Exclusivity: Vocals are non-exclusive; multiple users may license the same vocal.

2. Exclusive Vocals & Toplines (Includes Custom Vocal Toplines / Songwriting)

     Master Rights: You are granted 100% ownership of the master recording (the final song incorporating the vocal). You may release it on any platform (e.g., Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music) and retain all revenue from streams, downloads, and sales pertaining to the master recording.

     Publishing Rights: Publishing rights (lyrics and melody) are split 50/50 between you and I on the publishing end, standard for any toplining and songwriting deals. You must register the track with a Performance Rights Organization (e.g., BMI, ASCAP, SESAC) to ensure proper royalty distribution, and I will do the same on my end. Registration info [ will be below] . 

   One song usage: Versions and remixes are permitted as long as the vocal is not reused to create multiple unrelated songs. 

2.1 Song Integrity, Derivative Works & Re-Recordings:

      As-Written License: Toplines are licensed as written. Any lyric revisions, melodic modifications, structural additions (such as adding new verses or bridges), or substantial changes to the composition constitute a derivative work under copyright law and require prior written authorization from Mandy Barry.

     Songwriting Share Protection: In the event that additional writers, artists, or creative contributors are approved to add new material to the song, Mandy Barry's composition and publishing split shall not be reduced below 50% without express written consent.

     Re-Recordings: If you or a third party choose to re-record the topline with another vocalist, your license to Mandy Barry's master vocal recording terminates, but Mandy Barry retains 100% of her underlying songwriting and publishing share (50%) in the composition.

    Rights Reversion Clause: 
Exclusive toplines come with a 2-year release window. Because this is an exclusive license, the vocal is removed from sale and reserved for you. This is to prevent vocals being held indefinitely without release.

If the track is commercially released within 2 years of purchase, your exclusive license remains valid permanently. Commercially released means the track is publicly available on major DSPs such as Spotify, Amazon Music, and Apple Music etc.

If the track is not released within 2 years of purchase, the exclusive license expires and the rights to the vocal revert back to Mandy Barry, meaning it may be re-licensed or resold.

If you need more time, extensions may be agreed to in writing before the 2-year deadline.

  Restrictions - You may not:

• Resell, sublicense, or share the original vocal recordings.
• Include vocals in sample packs, templates, or similar products.
• Alter, rewrite, or add lyrics/melodies to the topline without prior written consent.
• Retain or reuse stems upon termination or re-recording: In the event this Exclusive License terminates or if you re-record the track with another vocalist, all rights to Mandy Barry’s master recording revert to Mandy Barry. Termination of Mandy Barry's master recording constitues a Destruction Order where you must delete and destroy all original and backup vocal stems/audio files in your possession. Retaining, distributing, or reusing these vocal files after termination constitutes willful copyright infringement.
• Use the name “Mandy Barry” or any variation in credits, metadata, or marketing under any circumstance or without expressed written permission. 
• Important: Exclusive vocals are not an instant download. Once you have made your purchase, I'll personally email you the files along with an exclusive agreement & splits that must be signed before the stems are released to you.

3. Cover Vocals

     License: Cover vocals are licensed royalty-free for the master vocal recording performance. You may use the vocals in your original recordings for personal use, demos, remixes, or commercial releases subject to obtaining proper third-party clearance. 

3.1 Commercial Release & Mechanical Licenses: 

      Licensee Responsibility: Mandy Barry does not hold composition copyright for cover songs. To release a cover song commercially on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, or Amazon Music, you must secure a compulsory mechanical license for the underlying composition. 
    - How to Obtain: Mechanical licenses can be secured directly through your music distributor (e.g., DistroKid, CDBaby, TuneCore) or simple and made-easy third-party licensing services like Easy Song or Songfile. You are solely responsible for acquiring and paying for all necessary composition licenses and mechanical royalties.

     Restrictions - You may not:

• Release a cover commercially without a mechanical license.
• Register the finished track or vocal stems with Content ID systems, Meta Rights Manager, or automated copyright enforcement databases under any circumstances.
• Resell, share, sublicense, or redistribute raw vocal audio files in sample packs, templates, or as standalone files.
• Claim ownership of the underlying composition, melody, or lyrics.
• Use “Mandy Barry” or any variation in credits, metadata, or branding. 

     Non-Exclusivity: Cover vocals are non-exclusive; multiple users may license the same vocal performance.

4. AI Usage (Artificial Intelligence) and Voice Replication

    AI PROHIBITION: I do not consent to my vocals being uploaded to, or used by, any AI platform (e.g., Suno, Udio, Kits.ai). This includes "testing" or "private" use. Most AI platform terms grant the platform rights to train on uploaded audio; therefore, any upload is a violation of my Right of Publicity and intellectual property. My vocals are for your finished production only—not for AI training, cloning, or synthesis.

     You are strictly prohibited from using vocals to:

• Train, clone, or replicate Mandy’s voice using AI or machine learning tools. 
• Extract stems or isolate elements for voice synthesis, conversion, or revoicing.
• Create works mimicking Mandy’s voice.
• Violation may result in license termination, content takedown, and legal action. I actively monitor for AI misuse. If any vocals from this site are found to be used in AI tools or outputs, I will issue takedown notices immediately and may pursue legal action.

Please note: This includes uploading a vocal to any AI machine learning website “for fun, internal testing, personal, or experimental use”. Any unauthorized upload or use of AI constitutes a material breach of the terms and conditions.

5. AI to Human Vocals

     If purchasing a custom order for Mandy to humanize your working demo'd AI vocal, regular licensing & terms apply. 

• Performance only is a vocal fee. 
• Performance with creative input constitutes a creative contribution to the composition and publishing splits will apply. Splits will be discussed and agreed upon upfront before any payment is made or work begins.

6. General Terms

     Non-Transferable: Licenses are non-transferable and apply only to the Licensee.

     Violation: Breaching these terms may result in license termination, content removal from platforms, and/or legal action.

     Sync Rights: For use in visual media (e.g., videos, films), contact info@mandybarry.com to confirm if additional sync licenses are required. 

      Contact: For questions, permissions, publishing administration, or payment information, email info@mandybarry.com.

7. Acknowledgment

     By purchasing or downloading vocals, you confirm you have read, understood, and agree to these terms.
