Licence summaries
When you buy one of our packs, you are purchasing a licence to use our sounds in your projects. You do not own the sounds nor is this a licence to resell or repackage our sounds in any way. Here’s an overview of how it works with a link to the full licence below – if anything is unclear, just reach out to us to discuss your questions:
Editions
Standard Edition
For students, hobbyists, freelancers, indie creators, and small studios. Use in projects with a total budget under £100,000. Covers most commercial and non-commercial work – online content, streaming, podcasts, indie games, and independent productions. Not for national broadcast TV, cinema release, national ad campaigns, or AAA games.
Extended Edition
For studios, agencies, and large productions. Unlimited use in projects of any budget, including film, TV, broadcast, theatrical, national advertising, and AAA games.
Pack Types
Hybrid Packs // Music + SFX

General Rules

Edit, process, and use sounds in unlimited projects (within your Edition’s limits).
Release your projects worldwide, without extra fees.
❌ You cannot:
Resell, repackage, relicense, or share the raw sounds – original or modified.

Use sounds or music as the main element of a standalone music track, release, or streaming single.
Extract loops, beats, or musical fragments to make new standalone works or remixes.
Upload music tracks to streaming platforms (e.g. Spotify, Apple Music) as standalone audio.
Claim authorship of the original content.
Use the sounds to train, feed, or develop AI or machine learning systems.
Licences are perpetual (use forever) and non-transferable (only you/your company can use them). The sounds must always stay embedded in your projects.
