Content

The Site and the Content are intended only for the purposes specified or implied therein, and your use of the Site and the Content is entirely at your own risk. Please note, whilst we endeavour to provide accurate and up-to-date information, the Content may not be wholly accurate or up-to-date, complete or free of defects, and is subject to change, often at very short notice. All Content is provided without any representations or warranties of any kind (implied or express) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Dezert Audio Inc., unless otherwise stated herein, owns or controls all relevant intellectual property rights in the Site and the Content. You may not publish, distribute, extract, re-utilise, or reproduce any part of the Site or the Content in any form (including storing it in any medium) other than as expressly allowed herein or as set out in the Site and the Content.

The Service

Dezert Audio is an online retail service (“Service”) that allows you to browse and purchase downloadable pre-recorded sounds, sound effects, loops and samples (“Sound Files”), and software files (“Software Files”). Together, the Sound Files and Software Files, and all accompanying downloadable documentation (“Documentation”), are the “Products”.

 

Licence for Download and Use of Products

By purchasing a Product (and subject to your compliance with this Agreement), Dezert Audio grants to you (and only you) a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to download and use the Products you purchase from Dezert Audio. You may not sell any Product(s), or give away any Product(s) for use by any other person(s). Products may not be used in or in relation to any competitive products that are sold or relicensed to any third parties. Except as expressly permitted herein, to the fullest extent of applicable law you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell or lease any Product, and you may not reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of any Product.

No Resale of Products

For the avoidance of doubt, you are granted a personal non-transferable licence to use the Products solely for your own personal use. Products are for use only as described hereunder and must not be shared with or given or transferred to any third party or uploaded to any file sharing site or offered for resale or public transmission unless mixed into your own original music productions.

Protection of Audio and Software Products. You expressly agree to take all reasonable steps to protect the Product(s) you purchase (including Documentation) from unauthorised copying or use. This includes protecting your devices and networks from unauthorised access (and you shall be deemed responsible for any third party use of your personal devices and networks). You agree not to modify any Product(s) or to otherwise circumvent any method or means adopted or implemented by Dezert Audio (or its partners or licensees) to protect against or discourage the unlicensed use of copying of the Product(s).

Ownership

Ownership of, and title to, the Products (and all digitally recorded sounds and/or copies therein) is held by Dezert Audio. Copies are provided to you solely to enable you to exercise your rights hereunder. When you purchase any Product(s), you are purchasing a limited licence for use (and not ownership) of Product(s). Except as expressly authorised in this Agreement, you may not rent, lease, sell, sublicense, distribute, transfer, copy, reproduce, display, modify or time share any Product(s) or Documentation (or part or element thereof).

Copyright

All rights not expressly granted to Users are reserved. The Products are licensed, not sold, to you to be used for (or, in the case of Sound Files, reproduced within) only your own original musical compositions and productions. All copying, lending, duplicating, re-selling or trading of any Product or other Content is strictly prohibited, save as used for or incorporated into your original created works. Only the original purchaser of a Sound File has the right to embody and reproduce that Sound File within their music compositions/productions. This license is granted for a single user only (and is given on a worldwide basis). You agree and acknowledge that Dezert Audio has a proprietary interest in all sound recordings available via the Site, and that any use by you that frustrates the purpose of this Agreement or circumvents the revenue model of Dezert Audio (including without limitation selling, renting, or otherwise using or distributing un-integrated Content) may cause irreparable loss to Dezert Audio in a way that could not be adequately compensated by damages. For the avoidance of doubt, no ownership of copyright is transferred by Dezert Audio to Users hereunder.

Pricing

Prices are as set out on the relevant pages of the Site from time to time. Prices (and availability of specific Products) are subject to change by posting new prices or notification of availability at any time.

Payments

Payments may be by credit or debit card using Visa, MasterCard, American Express or PayPal (or other payment methods offered from time to time as detailed on the Service). All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If your card issuer refuses to authorise payment, your order will be cancelled and we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery. We are not responsible for your card issuer or bank charging you as a result of us processing your credit/debit card payment in accordance with your order, and we shall not be obliged to inform you of any reason for refusal. By using your credit or debit card, you confirm that the card belongs to you and that there are sufficient funds or credit available to cover the charges.

By placing any order hereunder, you warrant and represent that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and that you have agreed to be bound by this Agreement. Please note that international payments and certain payment methods may give rise to higher payment processing costs.
