Custom Beat guarantees the Client peaceful and undisturbed enjoyment of the assigned rights against any interference arising from Custom Beat's own actions. In the event of a third-party claim: • Custom Beat will actively cooperate in the defense. • Its liability will be capped at the total contract amount, except in cases of gross misconduct.

In the context of a brand strategy, the Parties may agree on: ☐ Standard confidentiality ☐ Absolute confidentiality (no public mention permitted) Duration: minimum 5 years, or indefinite if specified.

The Client agrees not to modify the Work in any way that could damage the professional reputation of Custom Beat.

The Parties acknowledge that Custom Beat uses generative AI tools as part of its creative process. Under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act): • Custom Beat acts as a professional user of AI tools developed by third parties. • Custom Beat does not act as a provider ("provider") of an AI system within the meaning of the Regulation, unless expressly stated otherwise. • To Custom Beat's knowledge, the tools used do not fall under the high-risk AI systems category.

Custom Beat guarantees that: • AI is used solely as a technical assistance tool. • All essential artistic decisions (structure, melody, harmonization, arrangement, vocal direction, final mix) involve substantial human intervention. • Human oversight is applied at every relevant stage of the creative process. This oversight is specifically aimed at: • Ensuring artistic coherence. • Avoiding any manifestly unlawful generation. • Reducing the risk of unintentional similarity.

In compliance with transparency requirements applicable to generative AI systems: • The Client is informed that the Work was created with the assistance of artificial intelligence. • This disclosure does not obligate the Client to disclose AI usage in its own commercial communications, unless a specific legal obligation applies to its sector.

The Client warrants that: • All materials provided to Custom Beat (briefs, texts, slogans, sonic identity, recordings, references) are either royalty-free or used with proper authorization. • These materials may be processed as part of the AI-assisted creative workflow. Custom Beat commits to never using Client data to train any third-party AI model without prior written consent.

The Parties acknowledge that: • The legal status of AI-assisted works may vary across jurisdictions. • The delivered Work results from a directed creative process validated through substantial human intervention. • Custom Beat only assigns rights it actually holds at the time of signing. No absolute guarantee of universal originality can be provided due to the probabilistic nature of generative AI models.

The AI tools used in this service do not fall under the high-risk AI system categories defined by the AI Act, including: • Biometric evaluation systems. • Social scoring systems. • Automated decision-making systems affecting fundamental rights. Accordingly, the enhanced obligations applicable to such systems do not apply to this engagement.

Given: • The rapidly evolving nature of generative AI technologies. • The regulatory framework currently being progressively rolled out within the European Union. Custom Beat's liability relating to the use of AI tools is limited to the total contract amount, except in cases of gross or intentional misconduct.

Should the progressive implementation of certain provisions of the AI Act or any national implementing legislation impose additional obligations affecting the performance of this contract, the Parties agree to renegotiate the relevant terms in good faith.

This contract is governed by French law. Any dispute will be brought before the competent courts of Paris, notwithstanding multiple defendants. Executed in Casablanca.
