This agreement is the end user license agreement (this “Agreement”) between Authentic Soundware LLC (“Licensor”, “us”, “we” and “our”) and the individual end user who purchased or received the Sounds (as defined below) from Licensor (“Licensee” and “you”). This Agreement governs your use of our Sounds.

1. The content, audio files, audio loops, software, samples, midi files, virtual instruments, and patches of the Licensor provided by us and downloaded by you (collectively, “Sounds”) are licensed, not sold, to Licensee by Licensor. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Licensor grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Sounds as permitted by this Agreement. This non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license is granted only to the individual end user (i) who has lawfully purchased the Sounds directly from Licensor or a distributor authorized by Licensor or (ii) to whom Licensor delivered the Sounds. Licensor may terminate this license at any time and with immediate effect by giving written notice to you by e-mail (at your current address on file with us) if you fail to comply with any terms or conditions of this Agreement. Once this license is terminated, you must stop using the Sounds immediately.
2. All Sounds (and any and all copies thereof) are and remain the property of Licensor and are licensed only for use in the creation of a live or recorded performance that includes the licensed Sounds as part of a musical work created by Licensee (a “Musical Work”). The Sounds cannot be used for any other purpose. Licensee may not sell, rent, lease, sublicense, lend, gift, distribute or otherwise transfer all or any part of any of the Sounds in any format or via any medium, except as part of a Musical Work as permitted by this Agreement.

For certainty, the Sounds may be used in the creation of original music for production music libraries, subject to sections 4 & 5 below. The Sounds may not be included, whether unmodified or as part of a Musical Work, in any sample library product (such as virtual instruments, sample packs, sound kits, loop packs, etc).
4. Licensee may use Sounds that are virtual instruments (i.e. playable, multi-sample instruments, such as Kontakt and Ableton sampler patches), as distinct from audio loops (see section 5), to create original music for a production music library, also known as “stock music” or “library music,” provided such virtual instruments are used in a Musical Work.
5. Licensee may use Sounds that are audio loops (a grouping of Sounds that can be repeated to create a continuous composition), including Sounds that are audio loops delivered in Kontakt format, for the creation of original music for a production music library, also known as a "stock music library" or "library music," if the following terms and conditions are met: (1) the audio loops must be used in combination with other musical elements that contribute significantly to the composition; (2) the entire audio loop cannot be used in isolation at any point in the composition; and (3) for loop libraries delivered in construction kit format, the “full version” or “demo track” cannot be used for the creation of production music.
