Proof of Purchase + License
It is VERY important that you keep your receipt in a safe place in order to prove that you have purchased the product and have a license to use those sounds provided. Time+Space maintain records of every purchase that has been bought direct from us.
What exactly am I actually purchasing?
When you purchase a Sample CD or Virtual Instrument, you are NOT obtaining OWNERSHIP of the sounds - you are in fact purchasing a LICENSE to use the sounds within your musical compositions, whether or not your compositions are released commercially. The original producer of the sounds will always remain the OWNER of the sounds.
How can I use the sounds?
You may use the sounds in combination with other sounds within your musical compositions. You may release such compositions commercially without payment of any further fees or royalties for such usage. For example, if you are the original purchaser of a sample CD, and you used sounds from it to create the soundtrack of a television commercial, simply by combining a drum loop sample with a guitar loop sample, and the TV advert was broadcast hundreds of times, you would keep all the royalties that the advert earns you, because you already purchased a private license to use the sounds commercially. You cannot use the sounds in isolation (i.e. when not within musical compositions) as part of a commercially released project - for instance you cannot use the sounds to make another sample CD. Neither can the sounds be used in any "library music" sound file album, or multimedia sound library CD-ROM whether unmodified or as part of a musical composition.
Who else can use the sounds from the product that I purchased?
Nobody, unless they also purchased the same product from brand new. Only the ORIGINAL PURCHASER has the right to use the sounds commercially. This means that you CANNOT SELL or give the sounds to anyone else. If you do, and they use the sounds within a commercial release, they will have to pay royalties to Time+Space for using the sounds. You will also have broken the law.
Do I have to credit my use of the sounds on my album sleeve, etc?
This is not always essential, but of course it would be appreciated - and some developers make it an absolute condition within their user license. If you have any other questions about usage or licensing, please contact us.
What if a School, College, Studio or other institution purchases a product?
The Licence covers the release of original tracks using the sounds and produced by the establishment or studio name -individual names can be added. If an individual within the organisation wishes to use the sounds as produced under his own name, that person must purchase another disc in order to obtain a licence agreement.
