THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into on [ Order Date ] of downloading [ Sample Sound Pack ] the (“Construction Kit”) serves as a legally binding contract between DELESWA PRODUCTIONS ("Licensor") and [ Buyer name ] (“Licensee”). This agreement grants the Licensee a (Non-Exclusive) Construction Kit Royalty-Free License to use the downloaded “Construction Kit”. 

All license(s) included herein this agreement are non-transferable and non-refundable. 

Construction Kit Download: 

Entitles Licensee to the “Construction Kit” that features Drum loops and Melodic loops in WAV format. 

Master Recording | Distribution: 

Licensee is hereby granted a (Non-Exclusive) Construction Kit Royalty-Free License from the Licensor to use the "Construction Kit" for commercial recordings or broadcasts. The Licensee can distribute unlimited versions of Master Recordings for unlimited profitable or non-profitable releases and may distribute unlimited copies of the Master Recordings for unlimited sales and profit, which can be distributed on various kinds of recording media including, but not limited to compact discs, DVDs, VHS videos, digital downloads, record sales, and other forms of physical media. 

The “Construction Kit” may be reverse engineered, transformed, chopped, remixed, or heavily altered in any way from the original “Construction Kit” with or without additional drums and instrumentation (i.e. drum machine, synth, keyboard, instrument, etc.) by the Licensee to compose and record unique and original Master Recordings. It is also permissible to use “cleared” 3rd party samples (See "Clearing of Samples" section below) in conjunction with the “Construction Kit”. 

The Licensee does not exclusively own the “Construction Kit” or sounds therein, but the Licensee does own the “original” Master Recordings made using the “Construction Kit”. This is the same principle as though the Licensee used licensed plug-ins and licensed sounds from within a licensed DAW to produce an “original” Master Recording. 

Another example could be that the Licensee flipped a “cleared” sample and included it in a original composition to produce an original Master Recording. The Licensee would then own the Master Recording, but not the underlying “cleared” sample used within the original Master Recording. 

Distribution and or use of Master Recordings created using the “Construction Kit” (in conjunction with original instrumentation) is permitted by means of Television Broadcast, Video Games, On-hold & In House Background Music, or Film Soundtracks.

The Master Recordings may be used for unlimited non-monetized and monetized audio streams (i.e. Spotify, Rhapsody, Apple Music, Pandora). 

The Master Recordings may also be used for unlimited non-monetized and monetized video streams (i.e. YouTube Music). 

YouTube Content ID: 

The Licensee may Opt-in for monetization from the YouTube Content ID Program, but approval is subject to YouTube’s Conent ID algorithms, terms, and conditions. The same applies to other video streaming platforms (i.e. Vimeo, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) governed by the same or similar restrictions concerning video streaming and monetization.
