License Agreement — Exotic Music

All of our Sample Packs, Sound Packs, and Preset Packs are 100% royalty-free. This means you can use the included sounds in your own music, including commercial releases and paid projects, without owing royalties to us.

Products are delivered as .zip files. You will need software to unzip them (e.g., 7-Zip or similar).

Upon purchasing any Product from Exotic Music (operated by Sales Group), we grant you (“Licensee”) a non-exclusive, worldwide, and royalty-free license to use any and all samples, sounds, and sound effects included with the Product, except where a Product is clearly sold as an exclusive “Ghost Production” (in which case the license may be exclusive as described on the Product page).

For avoidance of doubt: purchasing a Product does not transfer ownership of the underlying sounds or project files to you. You receive usage rights under this Agreement.

The license grants the following rights to the Licensee:

1. Unlimited projects (lifetime): Use the licensed samples, sounds, and sound effects on an unlimited number of projects for your lifetime.
2. Personal & commercial use (no attribution required): Use in personal and commercial projects without crediting Exotic Music or Sales Group.
3. Synchronization rights: Use in audio/visual projects such as films, TV, radio, documentaries, commercials, games, podcasts, apps, blogs, websites, live events, stage shows, educational projects, and prototypes.
4. Royalty-free compositions: Use in compositions that may later be released commercially without royalties due to us.
5. Educational use: Learn music production techniques using templates and project files.
6. Study & reverse-engineer: Analyze the production process for inspiration and to build your own skills.
7. Use elements from templates (with significant changes): You may integrate sound elements from templates or project files into your own tracks only if you significantly modify the original melodies and chord progressions by more than 50%, so that identification tools (e.g., content recognition services) cannot recognize them as our original work.
8. Single-user license: This license is granted to one user only and may not be shared within a team, company, or group unless you purchase additional licenses.

To protect creators and prevent misuse, the following are strictly prohibited:

1. No releasing project files as finished tracks: You may not use templates or project files in their original form and release them as your own finished tracks (e.g., via labels or distribution) or register copyrights under yourself or any company.
2. No selling “as-is” sounds: You may not sell the licensed samples/sounds in their original form or claim ownership of them.
3. No redistribution / sublicensing: You may not license, sublicense, share, resell, upload, distribute, or otherwise redistribute the Product (or any part of it), even for free.
4. No standalone uploads for ownership/monetization: You may not upload any licensed samples/sounds in their original form as standalone content (whole or in parts) to platforms (e.g., streaming/video platforms) for commercial gain or to claim ownership.
5. No producer/artist/vocalist name usage: You may not use the name of any producer, artist, or vocalist associated with a purchased pack in your song title or branding in a way that suggests endorsement or authorship.
6. No copyright registration: You may not register copyrights for the original sounds, samples, or project files under yourself or a company.
7. No AI training: You may not use our Products to train, fine-tune, or develop artificial intelligence or machine learning models. A separate written license is required.
8. Reservation of rights: All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved.

You may not export or release any project files or templates as your own finished tracks in a way that copies the original track structure or composition. If you want to release a project/template as a finished track with minimal changes, you must purchase the full rights (or an exclusive license) where offered.

You are welcome to use individual sounds/presets/loops and incorporate them into your own music, provided you meet the “significant modification” requirement for melodies/chords when using template elements.
