By purchasing, downloading, or using this sample pack (the “Sample Pack”), you (“Licensee”) agree to the following terms.
Angelo Imani (“Licensor”) grants Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, single-user license to use the sounds contained in the purchased Sample Pack subject to this Agreement.
All right, title, and interest in and to the original sound recordings, compositions, and other content contained in the Sample Pack remain with Angelo Imani, except for the limited rights expressly granted under this Agreement.
This license applies only to the Sample Pack purchased and does not automatically extend to future releases unless explicitly stated at the time of purchase.
Drum sounds and non-melodic one-shot samples are 100% royalty-free and may be used in an unlimited number of commercial and non-commercial projects, including musical compositions, sound recordings, film, television, advertising, games, and multimedia productions.
No additional clearance, royalties, publishing splits, or fees are required for permitted use of these sounds.
This does not grant Licensee the right to redistribute, resell, sublicense, share, or otherwise make the original sounds available as standalone samples or source material.
Melodic loops, compositions and their stems, melody ideas, tonal content, atmospheric textures, and other melodic or compositional material contained in the Sample Pack (“Melodic Content”) may be commercially used on a royalty-free basis subject to the following thresholds and restrictions.
Melodic Content may be used royalty-free in independently released musical works up to 1,000,000 cumulative on-demand audio and audiovisual streams across all digital streaming platforms per released work.
If a released work incorporating Melodic Content exceeds 1,000,000 cumulative streams, Licensee must contact Licensor within thirty (30) days of crossing that threshold to obtain written clearance and agree upon commercial terms applicable to continued exploitation of the work.
Melodic Content may be used royalty-free in independent films, television productions, advertisements, games, online content, and other audiovisual or multimedia projects with total production budgets below $500,000 USD, provided the project is not produced, financed, released, or distributed by or through a Major Music Company or Major Studio as defined below.
Any use exceeding this threshold requires prior written clearance and separately negotiated commercial terms.
For music releases, all content contained in the Compositions and Melody Ideas folders must be incorporated into a materially new and original musical work created by Licensee.
Licensee may sample, manipulate, chop, interpolate, process, rearrange, or otherwise incorporate the content into a new work, but may not release a composition, melody, stem, or substantially unchanged version of such content as a standalone song, instrumental, composition, or other work while presenting it as Licensee’s original composition.
The resulting musical work must contain meaningful original creative contributions by Licensee, which may include additional instrumentation, vocals, songwriting, arrangement, sound design, production, or other original musical elements.
This requirement applies to music releases only.
Filmmakers, sound designers, game developers, and other audiovisual or multimedia creators may use compositions and melodic content in full as part of a soundtrack, score, scene, advertisement, game, or audiovisual production, provided all other terms of this Agreement are satisfied.
Any use of Melodic Content in connection with a Major Music Company, Major Studio, or comparable major commercial production requires prior written clearance, regardless of stream count, production budget, or distribution platform.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Major Music Company” includes Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, and distribution companies, as well as The Orchard and EMPIRE and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates.
“Major Studio” includes major film, television, streaming, and entertainment companies such as Netflix, Disney, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, Amazon MGM Studios, Apple, and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates.
If a work originally released independently is subsequently acquired, licensed, distributed, funded, or otherwise commercially exploited by or through a Major Music Company or Major Studio, prior written clearance from Licensor is required before such major commercial exploitation begins.
If there is uncertainty as to whether a proposed release or project qualifies as major commercial usage, Licensee must contact Licensor prior to release.
Major commercial usage is not automatically prohibited. It requires separate written clearance and commercially negotiated terms.

Commercial terms may include an upfront fee, publishing participation, master royalty participation, producer royalty, or other terms agreed upon in writing between Licensor and the applicable parties.
Failure to obtain required clearance prior to release or distribution constitutes a breach of this Agreement.
Licensee may not:
Licensee may use individual sounds audibly or in isolation within a legitimate musical, cinematic, gaming, advertising, or multimedia production. The restriction on standalone use concerns redistribution or exploitation of the sounds themselves as source material or competing audio assets.
Licensee may not register any individual sound, loop, composition, stem, or other unaltered or substantially unchanged content from the Sample Pack as Licensee’s exclusive property with YouTube Content ID, Meta Rights Manager, or any comparable automated copyright or audio-fingerprinting system.
Licensee may register an original finished musical work incorporating content from the Sample Pack where permitted by the applicable platform or distributor, provided the registration does not falsely claim exclusive ownership of the underlying Sample Pack content.
Licensee is responsible for promptly resolving any automated copyright claim made against another authorized user where such claim results from Licensee’s registration of a work incorporating content from the Sample Pack.
Nothing in this Agreement grants Licensee exclusive rights over Sample Pack content used by other lawful licensees.
Content from the Sample Pack may not be used to train, fine-tune, develop, condition, supply datasets to, or otherwise improve any generative artificial intelligence or machine-learning model designed to generate music, audio, sound effects, voices, samples, or other creative content.
Licensee may not upload or provide the Sample Pack, its stems, compositions, loops, one-shots, or other source material to any service for the purpose of creating or expanding a commercial or publicly accessible generative audio dataset, model, or sound-generation system.
This restriction does not prohibit ordinary audio-processing tools or production software that use machine-learning technology solely to process Licensee’s authorized musical or audiovisual project.
The Sample Pack is licensed, not sold.
Licensee does not acquire ownership of the underlying Sample Pack content.
Because this license is non-exclusive, the same sounds, loops, compositions, melodies, or other content may be licensed to and used by other creators.
Licensee retains ownership of Licensee’s original creative contributions and resulting works, subject to Licensor’s continuing ownership of the underlying Sample Pack content and any applicable clearance or royalty obligations under this Agreement.
All sales are final.
Due to the digital nature of the Sample Pack and immediate access to downloadable content, refunds are not provided except where required by applicable law or where Licensor, at Licensor’s sole discretion, determines that a refund is appropriate.
Any refund issued by Licensor on a discretionary basis does not create an obligation to provide a refund in any other case and does not establish a policy, precedent, or continuing entitlement to refunds.
The Sample Pack is provided on an “as is” basis.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Angelo Imani shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages or losses arising from Licensee’s use, misuse, distribution, registration, or exploitation of the Sample Pack.
Licensee is responsible for ensuring that Licensee’s use of the Sample Pack complies with this Agreement and with any applicable laws, platform requirements, distributor requirements, and third-party agreements.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.
Any unauthorized resale, redistribution, sublicensing, sharing, or use of Sample Pack content to create competing sound libraries or products constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate termination of the license.
For other breaches capable of being corrected, Licensor may provide Licensee with written notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure the breach.
Upon termination, Licensee must cease any future unauthorized use or distribution of the Sample Pack content.
Termination does not eliminate any rights, claims, payment obligations, or remedies that arose prior to termination.
Where this Agreement requires clearance, approval must be obtained in writing from Angelo Imani before the applicable use or release, except where this Agreement expressly provides otherwise for the 1,000,000-stream threshold.
Clearance terms will be negotiated based on the nature and commercial scale of the project.
