Message: [QUOTE="Bombastus, post: 91282, member: 2178"] ElevenLabs’ Marketplace terms state that deleting a listed track leaves every buyer license granted before deletion unaffected. The seller stops future sales, but earlier buyers do not have to erase the music or abandon projects already using it. A Marketplace purchase transfers permission, not ownership. It sits inside [B][URL='https://goldmidi.com/community/threads/why-eleven-music-can-promise-clear-commercial-use.76575/']the commercial licensing structure behind Eleven Music[/URL][/B], yet the buyer receives a limited and nonexclusive right controlled by the usage type selected at checkout. Removing a track closes it to new customers but cannot pull back licenses acquired earlier. The contract preserves the completed transaction rather than giving the seller a later veto. [HEADING=2]Deletion stops new sales but preserves old licenses[/HEADING] A seller can leave the Marketplace by deleting shared music or the entire account, after which ElevenLabs stops offering the affected track. Licenses issued before that termination remain in place. The terms go further than simply allowing an old video to stay online. They say prior buyers have no obligation to delete the music and may continue using it after the listing disappears. That is [B]a license that survives delisting[/B], not a temporary favor from the seller. The surviving permission still follows its original boundaries. A Social Media license does not become a Paid Marketing license after deletion, and an Offline license does not expand into television, radio, or cinema rights. Keep the purchase receipt, track name, asset identifier, selected usage type, and a dated copy of the applicable terms. A vanished listing may no longer show the description that framed the purchase, making your own records the clearest evidence of what you bought. License survival also differs from guaranteed file hosting because ElevenLabs provides the Marketplace on an as-is and as-available basis. It does not promise uninterrupted access, so keep the downloaded master and project files outside the platform. [HEADING=2]Buyer permission stays narrow after the listing disappears[/HEADING] Marketplace music is licensed rather than sold. The standard buyer right is limited, nonexclusive, and non-sublicensable unless ElevenLabs expressly allows otherwise. Several customers can license the same track without any buyer receiving exclusive ownership. The selected usage type controls both the original file and any remix. Current guidance allows unlimited downloads and remixes while a paid subscription remains active, but every derivative version keeps the original restrictions. Editing the track cannot change the license tier. When a paid subscription ends, the buyer may continue using music already purchased under its existing usage type. New downloads and remixes stop until a paid subscription becomes active again. That differs from a seller deleting the listing while the buyer remains subscribed. Standard Marketplace licenses prohibit music-platform distribution, resale, sublicensing, and ownership claims. A buyer can place a licensed track inside an allowed project but cannot offer the standalone file as stock music. The project right and the catalog right remain separate. Purchases are final and nonrefundable except where applicable law requires otherwise. Seller deletion is not described as a refund event because the earlier license remains effective. [HEADING=2]Sellers trade future royalties for platform rewards[/HEADING] Publishing gives ElevenLabs broad control over the Marketplace transaction. The seller authorizes it to host, market, sell, distribute, and sublicense the music, set usage terms, process payments, and choose the listing price. Current product guidance says creator earnings start at 25 percent of the purchase price and can rise for active users. Fees and taxes may be withheld. The binding addendum also lets ElevenLabs calculate rewards using factors it chooses and adjust them at its discretion. The harder term appears in the royalty waiver. Sellers agree that ElevenLabs and buyers owe no present or future royalties, equitable remuneration, or equivalent payments for permitted Marketplace use. The platform’s Financial Reward becomes the seller’s stated compensation for that transaction. A buyer may therefore keep using a delisted track without sending the creator another payment each time the project runs. The seller cannot replace that arrangement with a fresh royalty demand after purchase. Removal prevents later licenses, not later use under an old one. One edge remains narrower than many summaries admit. The express survival clause addresses deletion by the seller, including account deletion, while a separate provision lets ElevenLabs remove music or Marketplace access with or without notice. The addendum does not repeat the same survival wording for every platform-initiated enforcement scenario. That uncertainty makes documentation more than routine administration. A buyer using Marketplace music in a long campaign needs the downloaded asset, purchase record, license tier, and project scope stored together. Those materials preserve the deal’s evidence even when the public listing, seller account, or service interface later changes. [/QUOTE]
