sound effects, loops, soundpacks, musicpacks, composerpacks and all other media content available at this web site (the "Site"). This is a fairly lengthy document,
and it contains many important provisions that affect Client's rights and obligations. Please read this License Agreement carefully prior to licensing any tracks here.
GENERAL TERMS
All music tracks and other types of audio content available for license here (hereafter "Tracks") are licensed on strictly
a non-exclusive basis with either a limited license or with an unlimited license, depending on the type of license selected
by Licensee during the purchase process.
For any music Tracks and MusicPacks (hereafter "Music") purchased by Licensee with a limited license, Licensee may use the Music
strictly within context of a single project the Music was licensed for, under the license terms and parameters as selected by
Licensee during the licensing process. For an unlimited Buyout license, Licensee may use the Music Tracks strictly in context
of the single project that the Music was licensed for, within all media, in perpetuity, throughout the world and Universe.
For all other non-music content, such as sound effects and instrument sounds (hereafter "Non-Music Content"), purchased by Licensee
with a limited license, Licensee may use the Non-Music Content strictly within context of the single project the Non-Music Content was
licensed for. For an unlimited "Buyout" license, License may use the Non-Music Content in multiple projects, within all media,
in perpetuity, throughout the world and Universe.
The copyrights in all Tracks available for license herein are either fully owned by AudioSparx, or AudioSparx is fully
authorized by the copyright owner to sub-license the Tracks. For Music Tracks, this includes both the sound recording ("Master") and, for
Music, the underlying musical composition ("Composition"). Licensor and/or its vendors shall at all times retain all copyrights and
related intellectual property rights with regard to the marketing, sales and sub-licensing of the Tracks and any infringement by
Licensee thereof shall become an actionable violation of this license. The license rights granted herein are conveyed to Licensee
strictly on a non-exclusive basis.
GRANT OF RIGHTS
The rights granted for the use of the Tracks licensed herein are based upon the licensing options available on Licensor's web site as
well as the licensing options and parameters as selected by Licensee. These rights may include one or all of the following, depending
on the licensing options as selected by the Licensor:

The right to use the Tracks "synced" with visual images as part of your project or production as specified in Schedule A below.
2. Mechanical Rights
The right to re-record, duplicate and release the Tracks as part of your production in the media you select (e.g. CD, DVD, etc).
3. Public Performance Rights
Direct License for Non-Broadcast, Non-Internet Uses - For use of music Tracks licensed herein within any media other than television, radio,
and Internet, a limited direct license is provided by this license, meaning that no performance royalties shall be due from Licensee to Licensor
nor to any Performing Rights Organizations (hereafter "PRO") such as ASCAP, BMI, PRS for Music, etc. for such non-broadcast uses of any music
Tracks licensed herein.
Limited Direct License for Internet Uses - For use of music Tracks licensed herein on the Internet, a limited direct license is provided
by this license, meaning that no performance royalties shall be due from Licensee to Licensor nor to any Performing Rights Organizations (hereafter
"PRO") such as ASCAP, BMI, PRS for Music, etc. However, in the event that the hosting service provider pays performance royalties for any content
that is hosted on its service (e.g. YouTube), then any media content that is deployed to that service provider's system by Licensee shall be
eligible for, and shall earn its prorated share of any performance royalties, as paid by the hosting service provider, for the sole benefit of the
composer(s), lyricist(s) and/or publisher(s) of the music Tracks licensed herein. Licensee shall not share in, nor be eligible to earn any
performance royalties as paid through the PROs by the hosting service provider.
Internet Monetization Via Ad Revenue - For any use on the music Tracks licensed herein on video sharing sites such as YouTube, if the video site
provides an opportunity for content uploaders to monetize content on the video site via ad revenue, Licensee is entitled to monetize their video(s) if they
desire to do so, for their sole benefit. By virtue of this license, Licensee's right to monetize their video(s) supersedes any other competing monetization
claims that may exist from any third parties, and any such claims from third parties should be revoked and eliminated by the video sites. To clarify,
this license shall serve as legal notice to any such video sharing/video hosting sites to immediately remove any competing monetization claims from any
third parties such that the Licensee named herein may monetize their video(s) for their sole and exclusive benefit.
Performance License Exclusion for TV and Radio Uses - For use of music Tracks licensed herein on television and radio, this Agreement does
NOT include a performance license. Such so-called "broadcast" uses require the payment of performance royalties by the broadcaster of the
production to the appropriate PRO in the country(s) of broadcast. This is true whether the production is a show, commercial, infomercial, film, video
or audio-only program or any other type of production for television or radio use.
Broadcasters Obligated to Pay Performance Royalties - If Licensee is not a television or radio station, broadcaster, or network, and is not the
actual broadcaster of the production, Licensee does NOT have to pay performance royalties to any PRO in relation to the license of Tracks herein.
Otherwise, if Licensee is a television or radio station broadcaster or network, then performance royalties for use of music Tracks licensed herein
within a television or radio production which Licensee broadcasts requires the payment of performance royalties to the applicable PRO(s) in the country(s)
of broadcast, at standard rates as charged by the PRO(s) in such country(s), typically in the form of an annual blanket license for music performance
rights. These PRO(s) shall then provide the public performance license, covering the public broadcast or transmission of Licensee's production which

days after Licensee's production or project integrating the Tracks licensed herein has been completed and released for broadcast,
distribution or other live production use, in any country, this shall render this agreement null and void and Licensee's use of the
