Music & Content License
This document describes how you may use finished songs, recordings, books, pages, and related creative deliverables (“Deliverables”) you receive from Sound of Chi. It works together with our Terms of Service. If there is a conflict for a specific purchase, the product description and checkout terms for that purchase control for that order.
What you may do: You may use your delivered content on social media, websites, and personal or business materials as allowed by your purchase tier.
1. Ownership
Deliverables are produced using our proprietary processes, creative direction, and third-party tools (including optional AI-assisted workflows). You receive a license to use the final Deliverables as described below. We retain rights to our platform, production methods, templates, systems, and underlying intellectual property. We do not transfer ownership of those underlying assets to you.
You do not receive ownership of the underlying composition, production system, or generation process—only a license to use the final delivered content.
2. Personal use license
For personal, gift, and legacy-style products (unless a different scope is stated at purchase), we grant you a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use the Deliverables for personal, non-commercial purposes, including:
- playing and sharing privately with family and friends;
- posting on personal social media where permitted by the platform;
- including the work in personal or family projects (for example, slideshows or memorial pages).
You may not resell the Deliverables as a standalone product, sublicense them broadly, or claim authorship of our production systems or methodology.
3. Commercial use license (when applicable)
Some products explicitly include commercial use rights. Where stated at purchase for your order, we grant a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Deliverables for your business or brand in ordinary ways described at checkout, such as marketing, storytelling, or social media, subject to the restrictions in this License.
Because this license is non-exclusive, we may offer similar creative services to other customers and comparable outputs may be produced for them; you are not buying sole or exclusive control over genres, styles, or production techniques.
If commercial rights are not offered for your product tier, personal-use limits in Section 2 apply. Do not use Deliverables for revenue-driving commercial purposes unless your purchase clearly includes that scope.
4. AI-assisted content
Some music and creative output may be generated or assisted using third-party artificial intelligence tools (for example, generative music or content platforms). Providers and features may change over time. By purchasing, you acknowledge that:
- Deliverables may be partly AI-assisted;
- outputs are based on your inputs and our creative direction, but we do not guarantee absolute uniqueness or exclusivity of every musical element;
- third-party platform terms may apply to underlying tools; we do not control those third parties.
5. No copyright or exclusivity guarantee
We do not guarantee that any Deliverable is registrable for copyright, exclusive in all jurisdictions, or free of similarity to other works. You are responsible for any filings or legal steps you want to take, and for ensuring your use complies with laws where you operate.
6. Restrictions
Unless we expressly permit otherwise in writing for your order, you may not:
- resell, sublicense, or redistribute Deliverables as stock music, templates, or standalone products;
- use Deliverables in unlawful, defamatory, or infringing ways;
- misrepresent ownership of our systems or imply an endorsement we did not give;
- upload or register Deliverables in a way that falsely claims sole authorship of underlying production technology.
7. Changes
We may update this License from time to time. The effective date at the top will change when we do. New purchases after an update are governed by the version current at purchase unless we notify you otherwise.
